Other elementary districts in this high school district at Anaheim, Katella, Loara and Magnolia.

After working with but one hand, the other being disabled, for more than a week, and skillfully concealing his activities from guards by means of a dummy, Zephie Saunders, aged 26, early today tunneled his way thru a brick way of the prison ward at the county hospital and escaped. Saunders completed his task of digging his way to freedom within 12 hours after he had been sentenced to serve an indeterminate term in San Quentin prison for first degree burglary. Three weeks ago he was ordered to the prison ward of the hospital from the county jail after he had infected a disinfectant into his arm, causing an infection. The arm appeared to have withered from the act of the prisoner and he was under almost constant treatment at the hospital. Carefully concealing the mortar and keeping the brick of the wall in place until a hole sufficiently large for his body had been made, Saunders succeeded in fooling the prison ward guards. During each night the guards frequently passed along the corridor and peered thru the little window of the cell door. They saw what appeared to be the prisoner asleep on the bed. A 6 a.m. today a guard entered the cell to arouse the prisoner. He found that the "occupant" of the bed was merely a roll-of bedding formed into a dummy. After crawling thru the hole Saunders crossed the hospital grounds and vanished.

Slater, also a chauffeur, near San Diego, in 1917. A third brother, Eugene Slater, was shot and killed by a man known as Leonardo Buelna, in Wilmington in 1918. Buelna was captured and sent to the penitentiary. Lee Slater's body was found in the Spokane river near Otis Orchards, 15 miles east of Spokane. The hands and feet were tied and he had been gagged. The slayers evidently employed Slater and murdered him at the wheel of his car. Edward Slater was slain on the night of Nov. 8, 1917, when he answered a call in his taxicab. His body was found in Cabrill canyon, near San Diego. He had been beaten to death with a crowbar. Robbery was not the motive, as his watch and money were found in his pockets. Three men in soldier uniform were last seen with Slater and three suspects were arrested, but later released. PEACE MEET HALTS AS ULSTER BALKS LONDON, July 19.—Irish peace negotiations appeared to be approaching a crisis at full tilt today. The situation, so hopefully regarded last week, was so grave today that even the newspapers refused to offer conjectures as to what may happen when the present fog of secrecy lifts. The crisis in the negotiations apparently arose from the fact that Sir James Craig insists Ulster is entitled to its own representative and parliament and Eampon de Valera contends there must be a united Ireland before peace can be concluded. BAN AUTOIST FROM COUNTY TWO YEARS Orange-co is tabooed to Pablo Valarde, a Mexican of the Colton district, for the next two years.

DURESS CHARGED; DROP THEFT CASE When E. B. Trickey, deputy sheriff and rancher of the Irvine district, testified in Santa Ana justice court today that Beverly Brothers, 17, was urged to confess to the theft of a gold watch and $47 belonging to Grover Williams on the grounds that a confession "would be good for the soul," the case was dropped. Williams, who is an employee on Trickey's ranch, had testified that Brotherh had taken his watch and money June 17. The next witness called was Deputy Sheriff Herman Zabel who stated that when Brothers was brot into the sheriff's office by Trickey he made a voluntary confession. Trickey followed Zabel on the stand and testified that Zabel told Brothers that a confession "would be good for the soul," provided of course, he was guilty. Trickey said that Brothers then admitted he took both the watch and money, on the understanding that the case would not be prosecuted. The attorney for the defendant declared that Brothers had been induced to make a confession and this constituted duress and solicitation on the part of the authorities.
