Belton Kennedy, was brot before J. N. Reeve. At Mrs. Obenchain's own request the arraignment timed till Aug. 29, at 9:30 a.m. Warren Williams appeared as attorney for the defendants. He declared that by stipulation between the prosecution and the defense a continuance was desired. Judge Reeve granted the request. "Is that your desire?" Judge Reeve asked Mrs. Obenchain. "Yes," she answered simply, with a ghost of a smile. Following the arraignment, Mrs. Obenchain was taken down the steps to the street. Lined 10 or 15 deep along the edge of the sidewalk and to the other side of the street were more than 1500 persons; each anxious to catch a glimpse of the woman. Before 7 o'clock this morning a crowd began to collect. Mrs. Obenchain arrived in the courtroom 10 minutes before Judge Reeve. Sitting next to Judge Reeve was Judge Albert C. Baker of the supreme court of Arizona. Mrs. Obenchain was dressed in the black coat and hat which she wore when arrested. Her long white The accused woman lent spirits.

Stevens says Harbough left a car in his garage sometime ago. When he did not call for it, Stevens wrote to Harbough's address, as given in the registration certificate under the hood of the car. Stevens received a reply from Mrs. Harbough saying she was worried about the continued absence of her husband. She said she had received a letter from him stating he had "seen a lot of Missouri people." It is believed he got this from the name of Steven' garage. Mrs. Harbough is on her way to Santa Ana. The asphasia victim was picked up at Oceanside late Friday by a state parole officer. Upon reaching Santa Ana the man was turned over to the county jail. Numerous questions propounded to the man failed to elicit an answer that would give the authorities a due to his identity. Most of the statements made by the man are coherent.

In answer to numerous questions the man has stated that he lived in Kansas City but he does not seem to know how long he lived there nor when he left. He says that he has a wife and daughter. His daughter's name, he says, is His and she is 11 years old. He cannot recall the name of his wife, but thinks she lives in Santa Ana. The man says he belongs to the Order of Redmen, having joined Oscakey Lodge No. 58, of Kansas City. He says he is a salesman for a wholesale grocery or produce house. "I used to sell groceries, butter and eggs," said the man in talking with Mary Sheffield Theo. Lacy and a friend this morning. "I can't remember where, but that's what I did. And I can remember that I served on the draft registration board in Kansas City during the war. Yes, and I acted as an election clerk several times." "Where were you doing the last presidential election?" he was asked. "Kansas City" responded the man without any hesitation. "I wonder if my mother is there," he continued, "and my wife and little girl. I wonder where they are. I'm afraid my mother will worry about me." In answer to questions regarding his relatives the asphasian said that his father's first name was William. He is dead according to the man, but he believes he has a brother named Houghton. One of the things of which he says he is positive is a telephone number. It is 1693-M; but he cannot remember the name of the town in which this particular phone number would courtroom 10 minutes before Judge Reeve. Sitting next to Judge Reeve was Judge Albert C.

They also visited the hot springs near Mammouth Lakes and saw a young guyuser. After coming down from the cold weather altitudes and while looking for a stream that would not be too cold for bathing, they found a creek that was boiling hot. It was fed by a spring which poured a torrent of hot water in to it. They followed the stream for half a mile until it had cooled off sufficiently to present the most desired temperature for bathing.

Tear come into the man's eyes every time he is questioned about his wife or daughter. Prisoners in the jail tank in which he is confined try to console him. They are doing their best to aid him. One of the prisoners lived in Kansas City several years and is familiar with some of the locationk and sights that the puzzled man speaks of. He tried to draw him out and evidently gets more information out of the man than anybody else. "I built a two-room house," said the man, "and it seems to me it is rented out to a man I have known for a long time. My wife, my little girl and I lived over a grocery store. My wife used to get sick when we would take into town on a street car. I remember taking her off the street car lots of times. The town we lived in was a small place, five or six thousand." The man said he was born August 27, 1579, in Cherokee county, Kan. He cannot remember the name of the town, however. He has a pittiful expression on his face and his eyes bulge out at times as if he were frightened. The man causes into space, shakes his head and evidently wonders when he will join his composure.

Hughes went into the box for Salveson in the eighth and allowed San Berdoo two hits. McLain went to bat in the eighth for Salveson, but couldn't connect. Pitcher Oleson, of San Berdoo; allowing a flock of hits, kept them well scattered and deserves a great deal of credit for the southern team's victory. Regardless of the fact that the score and hits indicate otherwise, the game was fast and well played, and gave the crowd a good run for its money.
