Bratt, were taken from the train at Santa Ana yesterday morning on a telegram from San Diego to the city marshal, telling him to arrest them on a charge of petty larceny. The specific charge is the theft of a diamond ring from B. F. Bratt, a telegraph operator. The young woman, on whose finger the property was found when arrested, said she was never married to Bratt, but assumed his name and passed as his wife in San Diego. Edward Hill, the man arrested with the woman, was crestfallen when lodged in jail to await the coming of an officer from San Diego. The girl was taken care of by the wife of Jailor Graham. She is said to come from Trinidad, Colorado, and went with Bratt to San Diego from that place some months ago. Tiring of Bratt, she was on the way to Los Angeles with Hill when arrested. The diamond ring is a cheap looking affair, and the young woman says Bratt gave it to her in Colorado. Figs for the East George C. Roeding, the Presno fig grower, has sent a second consignment of about two hundred pounds of Calimyrna fresh figs addressed to Wells, Fargo & Cos.' agent at New York. A portion is consigned to Washington, D.C., to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and Department Entomologist L. O. Howard. A shipment made last week was received in Chicago in fine condition. This is believed to be the greatest distance fresh figs have ever been shipped. The New York shipment will require twenty-four hours longer in transit, and if the figs arrive in good condition, Roeding will arrange with brokers and dealers in the East to handle a large quantity of them. He believes that they will find a ready market and command good prices, for aside from a few figs received from Florida, there are no fresh figs in the eastern markets. The figs are transported by the express company free of charge and for experimental purposes. The figs were packed in what are called pony express, small boxes, not unlike a trunk. The boxes of figs are separated from each other by slates for ventilation, and in the top is a galvanized till in which ice is placed. En route the water is poured from the till and fresh ice is placed in it. An Open Letter BEAUMONT, Texas, Sept. 10, 1902.

Comstock, who is employed by Boy J. W. Duckworth at his store at Moara, informs us that his sixteen-year-old son, John Roy Comstock, left his home at the West End some time before midnight Sunday night, the 14th. The boy is described as weighing about 35 pounds, height between 5 feet 6 and 5 feet 7. He wore a suit of light-colored clothes and light crash hat. His hair is light, tinged with auburn, and he has light blue eyes. He carried a telescope basket containing articles of wearing apparel. The boy objected to going to school, and it is supposed he left home on that account. His father says he had no trouble with him, and the only explanation of his departure is that school began on Monday morning. The boy attended school last term. He has been to Long Beach with his parents, and it is supposed he is there or some other near-by place. He was tracked from his home at the West End as far as the school-house, but his subsequent movements are a mystery. His father desires that anyone knowing of his whereabouts inform him promptly of the same. Any information regarding the boy will be gladly received by his parents. Ball Halloween Eve A number of the business men of the city have clubbed together and will live a social dance at the opera-house the evening of October 31st (Hallowen), the purpose being to raise funds to liquidate the indebtedness remaining due upon the bandstand. We have all of us enjoyed many a concert of an evening given in the bandstand, but few of us have known that $80 remains due upon it. This it is now desired to wipe out, and the business men who have clubbed together have decided to offer an evening's enjoyment in return for a small admission fee to be devoted to that purpose. Jimmy Jones will set one of his usual preads at midnight, and there will be plenty of edibles for the inner man. Excellent music will be furnished and an enjoyable time is anticipated. The subject is a worthy one. Certainly the debt upon the bandstand should be paid. Tickets are $1. Will you take me? LAYING OF CORNER STONE OF ST.

Mrs. Gates has left at this office a sample of lemon cling peaches weighing some of them eleven ounces.

L. Good has disposed of his place west of town and leaves in two weeks for Stanislaw county, where his father has purchased a ranch and will go into the grain business. The Goods are good people and we regret to note their departure. They have resided here many years and have hosts of friends who will be sorry to have them move away. Mrs. N. Hart, while seated upon a camp-stool in the garden at her home on Monday morning, suffered a bad fall by the breaking of the stool, and sustained painful injuries.

It was found that no bones were broken, but the injuries were so painful she has since kept to her bed. J. H. McKnight of Corona has purchased for a syndicate of capitalists 1500 acres of clay land from James Irvine in the Santa Ana canyon near what is known as Gypseum Switch, and will use the clay for purposes of making pressed brick.

Judgments were entered in cases wherein the first named companies were plaintiffs and the last named companies defendants, allowing the plaintiffs in the aggregate 636 cubic feet of water per second, the other companies coming in for whatever water there may be in excess of that flow. The Fresno Canal Company and the Centerville and Kingsburg Company had already settled all their differences and a settlement also had been arrived at between the Fresno Canal Company and the Alta Irrigation District. Similarly a basis of settlement had been agreed upon between the Centerville and Kingsburg Company and the Alta Irrigation District.

A Certain Cure for Dysentery and Diarrhoea "Some years ago I was one of a party that intended making a long bicycle trip," says F. L. Taylor of New Albany, Bradford county, Pa. "I was taken suddenly with diarrhoea and was about to give up the trip, when Editor Ward of the Laceyville Messenger suggested that I take a dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I purchased a bottle and took two doses, one before starting and one on the route. I made the trip successfully and never felt any ill effect. Again, last summer I was almost completely run down with an attack of dysentery. I bought a bottle of this same remedy, and this time one dose cured me." Sold by all druggists. J. P.
