RIVERSIDE COUNTY
RIVERSIDE
RIVERSIDE. Sept. 3,-(Regular Corre
spondence.) The Perrls grain-stealing case
turned out to be no stealing at all. It was
all a mistake. Anderson & Middleton were
short twenty-four sacks, and some wagon
trucks led them to believe Sfcibenthal had
taken It. But when the case came to trial
the truth came out. The grain had been
innocently carted oft by Mr. Raymond,
the third partner In the Anderson-Mlddle
ton combination. It seems that Raymond's
partners told him to go down to the field
'and get his part of the grain, 192 sacks in
all, but the fact that one of the partners
had taken his share of the crop ln hay
and the further fact that Mr. Raymond,
who Is a very old man, had recently been
prostrated by the heat, confused him in
his calculations, and he took twenty-four
sacks more than he was entitled to.
The facts came out naturally in Mr.
Raymond's testimony. Everybody at
once saw how it was, and there was gen
eral rejoicing that several honest men had
been freed from the suspicion of wrong
doing cast upon them by mistake.
The prosecution moved to dismiss the
case and the court promptly granted the
motion.
Justice Mills decided today, after hear

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 3.—(Regular
Correspondence.) There Is trouble brew
ing in Lytle Creek canyon that promises to
end in bloodshed. The main trouble has
been between two settlers, H. Bradshaw
and C. B. Hughes.' They live on adjoining
claims and are constantly at war. A few
weeks ago Bradshaw had Hughes arrested
for stealing a section of wire fence, but
on examination the district attorney would
not prosecute the case, but Bradshaw
threatens to bring the. matter up before the
next grand jury. About that time Brad
shaw and Hughes had another difficulty,
in which the former told the latter that if
he stepped over the division line he would
kill him. Hughes then threw one leg upon
the fence and Bradshaw threw his hand
to his pocket, and Hughes, thinking per
haps Bradshaw would shoot, left the
scene. Yesterday Bradshaw was in the
oity to see United States Commissioner
Cole ln regard to some of Hughes' doings.
This time the United States land office, on
advice from Bradshaw, Is after Hughes,
and yesterday Bradshaw went before the
commissioner and submitted the evidence
that he had collected. Hughes lives on the
southeast quarter of section 22, township
2 north, range 6 west, S. B. M., and the
charges of Bradshaw are that the claim
was made through fraud. Special Agent
Cummings is investigating the matter. The
recent arrest of Hughes for setting a
forest fire In Lytle creek grows out of
trouble of a like nature with another set

SEVEN OAKS
SEVEN OAKS. Sept. 3.-(Speelal Corre
spondence.) Nestled in among the hills at
the. base of Mount San Bernardino lies one
of the most charming of the many mount

owner of the place has named It Seven
Oaks, not for any special fitness of local
ity, but because of his home place ln old
England.
It would be hard to find a more ideal
spot for those who wish to come close

seventy miles.
Leaving I.os Angeles at 7:30 a. m., you
reach Redlands, the end of the Journey by
rail, at 9:30: from this point you take pas
sage in the stage to Skinner's mountain
home, a distance of fourteen miles, arriv
ing there in time for lunch. The rest of
the journey is made on the backs of sure
footed horses or burros, accustomed to
daily travel on mountain trails.
In these mountains distance Is meas
ured in hours, not miles, so while the act
ual distance is but nine miles, the time of
transit is three and one-half hours, but
so fresh and bracing Is the air in those
higher altitudes and so ptcturesnuo ■'■"•
scenery that you pay little or no attention
to time, and almost before you are awat't
you have reached your journey's end.
You partake of an ample repast, en
hanced by the appetite your ride has given
you. as well as the genial welcome of mine
host Pratt.
After a good night's rest ln one of the
tent houses or comfortable log-cabins,
you rise thoroughly refreshed and look
about you for amusement. As you are not
altogether familiar with the resources at
hand, you repair to mine host again, and
he informs you that a party of ladies and
gentlemen is just being made, up to go to
Boar creek (so named because a bear was
never heard cf in that loealitv) for a two
days' fishing trip. You Join the party and
are soon on your way, preceded by the
faithful donkey, laden with all necessary
supplies for a two-days' outing.
The second day you return laden with
the festive trout, and quite satisfied with
your first outing.
This Is only the beginning. Your next trip
out Is for larger game, and If you are aa
successful as many another—Jlmmie Has-
kell for one—you will bring ln a good
sized deer. Again, it Is a quail or squirrel
hunt, and later ln the season a trip to Bluff
lake or some other of the numerous mount
ain lakes in this locality for ducks.
Perhaps you prefer a trip to Old Gray
back and a climb to its summit of 11,000
feet? Choose as you will; there Is endless
variety and everywhere the scenery ap
proaches the sublime.

$2000. The regular train does not reach

uller will be met by the first of a series

Mrs. Fuller said: "I have received
a number of telegrams from my son-in
law saying that my daughter is better.
Still, her condition is considered serious,
and I am going to do all I can to reach
