Judge Bailey's court room was thronged on Saturday morning,
the audience being drawn together by the novel trial which
had been announced to take place. G. R. Hinde, Hanna Hinde and
Dr. Louis Schlesinger were tried on a complaint which charged
them with wilfully omitting to provide the child of the two firstnamed persons with proper food. The following jurors were empanelled to try the case: Amos Wright, M. A. Mendelson, E. A.
Saxton, L. Durr, H. Cohen, F. A. Korn, C. Hilmer, J. Westphal, D.
Strodthoff, D. E. Miles, Isaac Cohen and H. Boege. District Attorney Thorn appeared for the prosecution and the defense was
conducted by Dr. Schlesinger. Mr. Thorn in his opening address
said this was the strangest case ever tried in California, and the
evidence would develop the wildest case of fanaticism that had
ever transpired in the world's history. These people belong to the
Societas Fraternia. They have everything in common and subsist entirely upon raw vegetables. No milk or other animal food is allowed. The child in question is one year old and has been fed on uncooked fruit and vegetables.
The first witness was Richard Melrose, editor of the Gazette.
He testified in regard to an interview which he had with defendants and gave a brief sketch of their beliefs and mode of living.
He had written and published an elaborate article on the subject.

He had written and published an elaborate article on the subject. Dr. Schlesinger had told him the infant had been weaned on scrap apple and he understood its sole diet was uncooked fruit. Dr. G. H. Bailey, Dr. Wm. Hardin, Dr. Yocum and Dr. Ellis all testified at length as to the condition of the child, which they said is dying for want of proper sustenance.
J. K. Tuffree, W. M. McFadden, W. J. Smith, Mrs. J. B. Toombes, Mrs. Warling all testified in the case. Mr. and Mrs. Goodale knew the Hinde's in England. Dr. Schlesinger addressed the jury and deliver an address on dietetics. If his food theory could be practical, physicians would find their occupation gone and drug stores would shut their doors.
The jury was out two hours and being unable to agree, were discharged. It is said the jury did not believe there was any intent to commit a crime. No disposition was manifested to convict Mr. and Mrs. Hinde, as they were so plainly under the control and direction of Schlesinger that they were not responsible for their acts.
It is reported that there was quite a heavy frost in some portions of the valley on Monday night last. No damage has been reported. It is very unusual to have frost this time of the year—Downey Courier.

Halliday and Henderson, and in the negative by Messrs. Saxton and Smith. The cocommittee appointed to decide upon the merits of the debate gave their decision in favor of the negative. It was announced that at the next meeting there would be an election of officers for the ensuing term of three months.
About noon on Monday a barn in Savannah belonging to Asa Ellis was consumed by fire and a thresher, header and other farm machinery was destroyed. The barley field of T. W. Gibson was burned over and about one-third of the field of John Cushings.

The Republican County Committee of Santa Barbara have adopted a resolution endorsing Pachero for Congress from this district. The San Diego Union makes the following comments: Mr. Pachero cannot get the Republican vote of this district. We know the temper of the people and we know that overflowing defeat awaits his nomination. But we cannot suppose that his nomination is possible. Towards this gentleman, personally, we have only amiable feelings; we simply object in common with the Republican masses to his political associations.
There is a proposition on foot to build a concrete dam in the Santiago creek at the head of the ditch. Soundings have been taken and at the point where it is proposed to build the dam, bed-rock was found at a depth of fifteen feet.

On Monday next Memorial Day will be observer in time-honored fashion by Malvern Hill Post G. A. R., and Women's Relief Corps of Fullerton. Members of the post and their friends from the entire countryside will gather at the Anaheim cemetery at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of decorating graves of the departed. There will be no procession of vehicles as in former years, but each one will drive to the cemetery as best suits him. Those coming from a distance will bring lunches which will be partaken of under the shade of the trees.
The afternoon's exercises will be held at the opera house, the big walnut grove adjoining the cemetery where the exercises are usually held being unavailable, owing to low hanging limbs as well as being flooded by irrigation. Exercises at the opera house will begin at 1:30 o'clock. There will be a program of music and literary numbers, and the oration of the day will be delivered by Clyde Bighop of Santa Ana. Bishop is the youngest man who ever delivered a Memorial address in the county, and it is said the distinction reaches out and includes the counties of Southern California. Though young in years he is talented and will probably be heard from in future in political as well as other fields of usefulness. Bishop ought to make a good oration and doubtless the opera house will be crowded with old soldiers and civilians alike to hear him.
Memorial Sunday will be observed at the Baptist church at Fullerton, on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Owing to the prevalence of an epidemic of measles among scholars, the Fullerton grammar school was closed temporarily last week by order of the school trustees. The number of children left from school had grown until fears were entertained for the
Untamed Elements
Elemental disasters have been alarming in various parts of the United States during the last two months. Deaths from floods and tornadoes are estimated at three hundred with about two thousand injured and with property losses running into millions. Seventeen states have suffered from these visitations. These disasters impress their own lesson. In the matter of floods, they stress the need of scientific control of floods. The economic value of this would be very great. In the matter of tronadoes, it behooves communities lying in regions subject to such terrific disturbances, to have safe retreats into which they can go upon the approach of a storm. During seasons when tornadoes are most likely to occur it may develop that a system of giving the alarm to residents in the path of an approaching tempest, may be worked out.

MEMORIAL SUNDAY will be observed at the Baptist church at Fullerton, on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Owing to the prevalence of an epidemic of measles among scholars, the Fullerton grammar school was closed temporarily last week by order of the school trustees. The number of children kept from school had grown until fears were entertained for the average daily attendance by which the appropriation of state school funds is made. It is probable an additional two weeks will be added to the term in order to make up for the loss of time. The number of scholars out of school last week was 63.
Clarence Perdomo of this city and Earl Crawford of Olive set out some days ago to see the world and will make St. Louis their objective point. They went from here to Los Angeles and a few days later were in San Francisco, where they met Fred G. Athearn former principal of the high school here.

The building will cost upwards of $4,000 and will be occupied by the doctor as a residence. Since the laying of cement walks on Broadway, that thoroughfare has taken on a much handsomer and cleaner appearance and the Doctor's new residence will add materially to its appearance.
