SHOTS EXCHANGED FRANK PALLAS AND J. W. HART IN A PISTOL DUEL Trouble Arises Over Boundary Dispute — Hart Fires Five Times at Pallas — Pallas Fires Buffet Through Hart's Left Hand At 8 o'clock on Friday evening J. W. Hart, who owns a 20-acre ranch at Katella, drove into town and going before Judge Howard swore to a complaint charging Frank Pallas with an assault upon him with intent to kill. Jubge Howard had gone home, but when Hart appeared with his story he went to his office and issued a warrant for the arrest of Pallas. The shooting took place at Hart's place at Katella about 6 o'clock that evening. Hart bore a bullet hole through his left hand, which had been bandaged by Dr. Johnson. Constable Llewellyn went out and placed Pallas under arrest. On Saturday morning he was taken into court and placed under bonds in $1000, with L. Asher and P. H. Kriek as sureties. Judge Howard set the time for the preliminary examination of Pallas for Wednesday, March 23d, at 10 o'clock a.m. The shooting grew out of trouble over the boundary line between the farms of the parties to the action, which adjoin. Hart is charged by Pallas with being quarrelsome and with interfering with his men, who were ordered off the disputed zone by Hart. On Friday afternoon, Pallas walked over to Hart's farm intending, so he said, to have a friendly talk with his neighbor and impress upon him the propriety of refraining from interfering with his workmen. When Pallas reached Hart's place the latter walked out to meet him. Both men were armed. A discussion arose ever the disputed line, when Hart called Pallas a liar. The latter slapped Hart THE CITY TRUSTEES REGULATE SALARIES City Clerk's Pay to be Raised From $40 to $50 Per Month, Marshal's to Suffer Deep Cut. The Board of Trustees of the city met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present, Messrs. Schneider, Rust and Berdrow. The ordinance granting telephone franchise to W. L. Porterfield of the Home Telephone company, was adopted. An ordinance establishing the official grade of certain streets was read the first time. An ordinance fixing the compensation of the several city officers was read the first time. It raises the salary of the city clerk from $40 to $50 per month, and provides a cut in the marshal's, the exact figures of which were not determined. The salary of that official is now in the neighborhood of $135 per month. This will probably be cut to $100. The finance committee reported their approval of bills amounting to $531.34, and they were ordered paid. A communication was read from the Superintendent of the Santa Fe Company addressed to city attorney, stating that an electric bell would be placed by that company without delay at the Center street crossing of the railroad, and that until the bell is established the through trains would pass said crossing at slow speed. The clerk read two communications offering oil sprinkling wagons for sale, the city being in the market for one. The clerk was instructed to write to J. B. Glover, of Redlands, for further information concerning his sprinklers. Request of R. Folker for transfer of saloon license in the Commercial Hotel to Boon & Hatfield, the new proprietors was, granted. The clerk was instructed to advertise for bids for city printing in the manner required by law. "FOAMING ROCKS" IS THE LATEST A FREAKY SEASON Mnimum Rainfall and Grain Fields Looking Well. Crucial Point Will Come in May or June When Weather Turns Warmer—Few Inches of Rain Will Land Us on Easy Strasse. Thirty-seven hundredths of an inch of rain fell on Saturday night, beginning at 8 o'clock in a light mist and continuing until 2 o'clock. Just before midnight a heavy shower descended, but otherwise the rain came in a drizzle-drizzle. Total for the season, 4.17 inches; last year, to date, 10.45 inches. While we are away behind the record of last year, the county looks surprisingly well. Crops of all kinds never looked better, although the season is late. The crucial test of the season will come later—say in six weeks time, when with warmer weather more moisture will be needed to mature crops. To this farmers say they will defer crossing bridges until they come to the stream. So far, the weather clerk has not done so badly by us this season. From October 1st to January 18th not a drop of water fell. This marked the longest period of drought in forty years. Seeding operations had been in progress continuously since December 16th, and on the San Joaquin ranch alone 60,000 acres of grain had been sowed by the time the first rain fell. Rains in the north have been heavier than for many years. In Humboldt county fourteen inches of rain fell in February, and at other points the precipitation has been heavier. Rivers have overflowed their banks and reservoirs have threatened to burst the dams. In Southern California conditions are different. With the longest period of drought in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, and the precipitation the smallest for many years, grain and pasture fields appear to be in their prime. A few more downpours, such as we had a fortnight ago, when an inch fell during one night, and left lit- farm of the parties to the action, which adjoin. Hart is charged by Pallas with being quarrelsome and with interfering with his men, who were ordered off the disputed zone by Hart. On Friday afternoon, Pallas walked over to Hart's farm intending, so he said, to have a friendly talk with his neighbor and impress upon him the propriety of refraining from interfering with his workmen. When Pallas reached Hart's place the latter walked out to meet him. Both men were armed. A discussion arose ever the disputed line, when Hart called Pallas a liar. The latter slapped Hart in the face. Hart stepped back and, with an oath, drew his pistol and began firing at Pallas. Hart says Pallas fired as often as he (Hart) did, and in substantiation of this fact says several bullet holes decorate his house as proof of Pallas' poor marksmanship. Hearing of the preliminary examination was to have come up before Judge Howard yesterday morning, but on account of the inability of the district attorney to be present the case was postponed to this morning at 10 o'clock. Pallas is unmarried and has resided here a number of years. He served as a soldier of the Philippines, and was later a police officer in Manila. Hart has resided here four years. He is a widower, his wife having died a year or two ago. CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS Walter Thompson was run over and seriously hurt by the city grading outfit on Monday afternoon at the corner of South and East streets. He was driving the grader, to which six horses were attached, when, in attempting to turn in too short a space, it overturned. Thompson was thrown to the ground and both wheels of the machine passed over his right leg below the knee. No bones were broken, but he was badly cut. Thompson was taken to his home on Los Angeles street, where he is now receiving medical attention. He will be laid up for several days. Fred Betz was seriously injured on Sunday evening at the residence of John Selinger as he was in the act of starting home on his bicycle. With his wife he had been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Selinger, when, as he started out of the front yard on his wheel, he lost his balance and fell heavily upon the ground, cutting his ear and sustaining severe bruises to the head. Dr. Johnston was telephoned for and went to the scene of the accident forthwith. He dressed Betz's farms of the parties to the action, which adjoin. Hart is charged by Pallas with being quarrellsome and with interfering with his men, who were ordered off the disputed zone by Hart.

Richard Fischle, brother-in-law to Charles Lange, editor of our esteemed contemporary, the Deutsche Zeitung, is the inventor of a soluble preparation of fruit juices, tartaric acid, soda and other substances which, when placed in a glass of water and stirred, produces an excellent lemonade. The process is one of Mr. Fischle's own invention, and application has been made to the patent office at Washington for a trade mark protecting the rights of the inventor. Juices of the peach, pineapple, strawberry and other fruits are used, each of them, when placed in water, giving to the lemonade the flavor of the fruit used in its preparation. The preparation has been named "Foaming Rocks," which are placed six in a neatly labeled box, each cake being wrapped in tissue paper. The box has an appropriate label setting forth the nature of the contents, with instructions for using, and on the reverse side contains a sketch by Hollingworth, showing two aged and abundantly bewhiskered individuals preparing to enjoy a glass of Foaming Rocks, which they regard with an air of satisfaction pictured upon their faces. On railway trains and at the seaside, when a glass of lemonade is desired, a box of these little cubes ought to be conducive to the comfort of the tourist or traveler. The formula for the manufacture of this compressed soda and fruit juices is of course known only to the owners of the preparation, Messrs. Fischle and Lange, who are how placing it upon the market. We have sampled the lemonade and pronounce it is delicious beverage. It is pure and wholesome, containing nothing but juices of fruit, tartaric acid and soda. Foaming Rocks are manufactured by Fischle & Lange, of this city, and the manufacturers are preparing to introduce them into all the markets, and a shipment will be made to Germany. NATIONAL GAME. At Athletic Park, Sunday afternoon, Olinda and Apex will play the odd game. Both teams have a game to their credit; Olinda having defeated the foreigners with Dolly Gray in the box, 22 to 1 three weeks ago. The week following Apex administered the offering oil sprinkling wagons for sale; the city being in the market for one. The clerk was instructed to write to J. B. Glover, of Redlands, for further information concerning his sprinklers. Request of R.

At Athletic Park, Sunday afternoon, Olinda and Apex will play the odd game. Both teams have a game to their credit, Olinda having defeated the foreigners with Dolly Gray in the box, 22 to 1 three weeks ago. The week following Apex administered the first defeat to the oil-wellers on the home grounds this season. Oscar Jones helped them do it. The score was 9 to 3. On Sunday afternoon the third game of the series will be played and an exciting contest will probably be the result. Apex will endeavor to prevail upon Morley to permit Newton to come and see us, and Mr. Crips will do the twirling for the lads from the foot-hills. Corona defeated Olinda on the former's home grounds on Sunday, 5 to 4. Prussian Heave Powders cure heaves, lung and throat troubles in horses. Try it. McKinley.

An inch and eighty-five hundredths of rain fell on Tuesday night, beginning in the afternoon at 3 in a light sprinkle, and continuing during the night in showers. This brings the total for the season to 6.02. Fields continue to look in prime condition, and there has not heretofore this season existed so much confidence in the season's harvest. Yesterday the sky was overcast, and with a storm prevailing in the north, it seems at this writing that more rain will follow. J. B. Neff reports 1.98 inches for the storm; Fullerton, 2.24; Santa Ana, 1.50; Orange, 1.75, and Los Angeles 1.60. MELONS AND BERRIES. Fred Walters has been at Azusa this week superintending the planting of strawberry plants on a 40-acre farm which he has leased for a term of years in co-operation with Sam Snyder, of the Fred Harvey eating house syndicate. Of these plants Fred has planted 40,000 which are now in blossom. Many berries have also ripened upon them this early in the season. The product of this berry farm will be shipped to the Harvey eating houses along the line of the Santa Fe. Fred will also farm his 20-acre tract east of town, where he has recently established a large pumping plant. From these twenty acres he last season took $8000 worth of berries, melons and vegetables for the Harvey dining car service. Of cantelopes he shipped 2400 dozen. For the cantelopes he received 50 cents per dozen early in the season, and when the Rocky Ford melons of Colorado entered the market they were dropped to 25 cents per dozen. Besides these melons, $3000 worth of strawberries, raspberries and vegetables were harvested. Fred has been one of the most successful berry and melon farmers in Southern California and in collaboration with Mr. Snyder, is preparing a paper to be read at the approaching farmers' institute here upon the subject, "How to Take $8000 in Melons, Berries and Vegetables From Twenty Acres." Full supply of Prussian stock and poultry foods, also Prussian veterinary remedies at C.G.McKinley's. For Rent Furnished front room for rent, inquire at this office.
