NEWS OF FULLERTON BENCHLEY SHIPS 20 CARLOADS LEMONS Twenty-one cars of lemons have been shipped out of Fullerton this season by the Benchley Fruit Co., and 10 more cars are expected to be shipped out before the season ends. The present high prices are due to the hot weather and the scarcity of fruit on the eastern markets, it was declared. The prices may come down from their present high peak, but they are expected to remain satisfactory through the season, it was stated. These high prices are making growers "mit up and take notice," and many who have lemon groves which they have neglected because of former low prices wish they had kept them up. Another prominent factor in the high prices is the bad crops in foreign countries, and therefore there is little foreign fruit on the market. COWLES PROBES ARREST That Dr. D. C.

PARROT FIGURES IN $10,000 LAW SUIT LOS ANGELES, July 1. — Whether the conversation of a parrot is competent evidence in court, was a question scheduled to be threshed out in the $10,000 damage suit of Joseph A. Miller against Hugh Durning, which was tried today before a jury in Judge Houser’s court. Under the law, a conversation taking place in the presence of the parties to an action is considered as competent evidence, but it was assumed that this referred to human conversation only. Miller sued Durning because of a beating he alleged was administered to him by Durning at the latter’s dairy ranch near Van Nuys when the plaintiff went there to buy milk. Durning denied he was actuated by malice. The defendant’s attorneys announced they would attempt to show that the Durning parrot made a remark about “sweethearts” which was alleged to have led Durning to believe Miller had made indiscreet remarks to Mrs. Durning.
