Dave Shade had little trouble in defeating Joe Simonich at Vernon boxing show. Dave content to coast along and the Butte lad coming to blink the way. The fight did not well with the fans.
Toby Montoy got a pleasant win over Billy Ryan, in the odd preliminary. Hank Gary Santa Ana mauler was too sturdy for Jimmy Danks, and after poor start won the decisive Danny Martin, who boxed Rubidaux at the old Anah arena in one of the prettiest matches ever staged here, robbed of a decision over Mascott. Danny, so the crisay, won all the way.
Vernon management is having difficulty in arranging cards to will draw. The Colima-Sharpset of a week ago had the first fugue emporium well filled, that is about the only card that has packed the house since opening night, when Jack Deney sey boxed for charity.

PRISCILLA DEAN'S LATEST PRODUCTION
A storm at sea that seemed to carry death with every lash of the waves is one of the interesting scenes in Priscilla Dean's latest Universal Jewel feature, "The Storm Daughter" which will open at the United Theater for a two-day run, Friday and Saturday.
Tom Santshi has the lead opposite this versatile star, and plays one of the best types of his 20-year screen career. He is a half crazed captain of a big sailing vessel, who hates all women because one has been unfailful to him. A chance of fate causes a fisherman, played by Miss Dean, to have her boat run down by the woman-hater. After being picked up, and demanding that she be put ashore, the captain tells her she can swim. Defiant, but helpless, she submits to her fate. At every turn she lets the skiipper know that he is a heartless brute. The crew, half mutinous, are urged by the girl to do away with their skipper. After a vicious slugfest, the crew emerge victors and then their problems begin.
The second chapter of "The Fast Express" will be an added feature.

FRIDAY GIFT NITE AT CALIF. THEATER
Gift Nite. It means you may carry away a beautiful present besides seeing one of the finest comedy dramas shown at the California in sometime. "Daddies," starring Mae Marsh, is the screen feature.

Battling Ski has gone and settled down. He was married yesterday to one Lillian Werner of New York. The battling one was attracted by the lady's wonderful cookery. What she was attracted by is unexplained, most likely notoriety. She claims to be white, but it is said that her mother is very dark. Anyway, the Mrs. may give Ski something to think about for a time if she is the robust kind that hangs pans and rolling pins over the head of their better half.
The luckless Angels may have another knock of hard luck if Cedric Durst is recalled by the Browns. George Sisler holds an option on the Angel fielder and first baseman, and may recall his property by reason of injuries to his outfield combination. Durst has been playing great ball for the Angels the last few weeks. In fact he is responsible in greater part for the Angel's recent good road record. His hitting has been hard and timely and he plugged the hole at first when several others had fallen down. His loss would be hard felt by the Angels.

some time ago sent Vin Fortune,
well known geologist, to New Mexiico to investigate oil lands, and
place leases, has leased nearly
51,000 acres, according to James C. Wirths, proprietor of the Valencia Hotel, some in the famous San Juan basin, and the rest in southerastern part of the state. Wirths is one of the group.
The Anaheimers will sell part
of their holdings later and drill
where the prospects look most promising. Several producing wells are located near some of their lands.
Fortune is well-acquainted with New Mexico and is an expert oil geologist. Of the holdings 10,000 acres lies around 60 miles from Roswell, in southern Chaves-co., in the so-called Manning dome. Here the Bendum-Treec interests of Pennsylvania, which have 30,000 acres under lease, are operating under the name of the Arkansas Fuel Co., with a capital of $50,000,000.

SLAYERS LAUGH AT WITNESSES
(Continued from Page One)
He admitted he had "gambled with Leopold and Loeb five or six times" at bridge.
"What stakes did they play for?" asked Crowe.
"Varying stakes, Five and ten cents a point." he replied.
"What limit is that equivalent to in poker?" asked Crowe.
"I don't know," said the witness and the first real laugh of the trial broke over the court room.
Mandell said Leopold and Loeb always played against each other. He thot the most money that ever changed hands was "around three or four hundred dollars."
Crowe was persistent in questioning the witness about the gambling, for it is his contention, advanced in his opening argument, that one of the chief motives for the murder was the desire of the two defendants, to obtain the $10,000 ransom money from Jacob Franks in order to pay gambling losses and continue to gamble.
Mandell was followed on the stand by Hoakan Strandberg, a small shopkeeper in the vicinity of Leopold's home, who testified he had known the boy for ten years. He identified the paper on which the ransom letters were written by Leopold as having been purchased in his shop.
Then followed in quick succession the shopkeepers who sold the rope with which young Franks was strangled, the chisel which beat his head in, and the hydrochloric acid with which Leopold and Loeb sought to destroy the features of their young victim.
Albert Hubbinger, a hardware dealer, "that stoch Richard Loeb was the man who bought the rope and chisel, but he wouldn't swear to it. Aaron Adler, a drugsteller on Cottage Grove ave., remembered selling a bottle of hydrochloric acid to a youth resembling Carl Ulving, a chauffeur Spiegel family, came testified he saw Richard driving a dark touring car tains up down. Ellis-save: another man in the seat woe he chaulleur said, but he able to identify Leopold plays as Loeb's companion.
Ulving said he had known and Leopold for several years.
George C. Fry and John railroad ticket sellers, they had sold a ticket to M City and a seat in car four Quarron, on May 22. They in connection with the loeb and Leopold to test far Jacob Franks could try package of money from a train, in case he complies their instructions regarding ransoming of his son.
Next came the man who held the body of Frank's stuff; she culvert. He was Tony Polish railroad track Tony's testimony was taken an interpreter, acceptable many gestures.
The two young defendant absorbed in Tiny's study; watched him closely and times grinned broadly at pressive gestures and ex comments to the interpreter.
Paul Koriff, another worker, told of helping Tom the body from the drain pipe later finding Leopold's near by.
A monotonous success minor witnesses followed officers who handled the laborers who assisted in the body to the morgue, etc.

Just before the afternoon session started, a moving picture operator was hustled out of the court room at the order of Justice Caverly. Still cameras were not molested.
"I want to warn you picture men," said the court, "that if anyone attempts to use a moving picture camera in this court I will send the man to prison. You know that we barred moving picture cameras. The first thing you know you will all be barred."
After this summary warning, the prosecution continued its deadly succession of witnesses, the first of whom was J. T. Seassa, an instructor at the Harvard school, where young Franks was a pupil. Seassa merely testified he had seen young Franks at the school that fatal afternoon. He had also seen Loeb there, had conversed with him briefly.
and bloody automobile robe in which Loeb and Leopold confessed they wrapped' the body of young Franks after he had been knocked on the head with the chisel in the car.
The maid identified it as one similar to that used in the Leopold cars.
On cross examination Benjamin Bachrach brot out the fact that the maid was still employed in the Leopold home. She was then excused.
During the exhibition of these graece relics of their crime, neither of the young defendants exhibited any emotion. They looked steadily at the frightened girl and occasionally whispered among themselves. Leopold nodded and smiled at her as she left the stand.
Loeb Maremont, a student at the University of Chicago, and law school mate of Leopold, was next called. He testified he had known Leopold several years and had frequently gone to the Leopold home to study with the young son of the house. His testimony was merely contributory to that of the maid concerning the typewriter.
Howard Obendorf, Maurice Shannon, and Lester Abelson, also fellow students, gave similar corroborative testimony concerning the typewriter.

Thomas McWilliams, manager of the Morrison Hotel, where Loeb also had rented a room under his name of "Morton D. Ballard," for further completed the identification.
Witnesses were passing in a row out of the chair rapidly, so searately getting seated before them were asked a few questions to complete the record and then speedily excused.
There was a quickening of their terrestrial at 10:40 a.m. when Ellie Beth Smithler, a maid employed by Leopold family, was called to the stand. The young son of her employer smiled at her broad smile as she took the stand. She was obviously nervous and ill at ease.
THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1924
CARL Ulving, a chauffeur for the Spiegel family, came next. He testified he saw Richard Loeb driving a dark touring car, curtains up, down Ellis-ave about 30 p.m. on May 21. There was another man in the seat with him, the chauffeur said, but he was not able to identify Leopold positively as Loeb's companion.
Ulving said he had known Leeb and Leopold for several years.
George C. Fry and John F. Ball, railroad ticket sellers, testified they had sold a ticket to Michigan city and a seat in car four named Quarron, on May 22. This was a connection with the plan of Loeb and Leopold to test out how Jacob Franks could throw a package of money from a moving train, in case he compiled with their instructions regarding the ensoming of his son.
Next came the man who found the body of Frank's stuffed into the culvert. He was Tony Minke, polish railroad track laborer. Tony's testimony was taken thru an interpreter, accompanied by many gestures.
The two young defendants were absorbed in Tony's story. They matched him closely and several times grinned broadly at his excessive gestures and explosive comments to the interpreter Paul Koriff, another railroad worker, told of helping Tony pull the body from the drain pipe and later finding Leopold's glasses by.
A monotonous succession of minor witnesses followed, police officers who handled the body, officers who assisted in taking the body to the morgue, etc.
CHICAGO, July 24. In a share-cut, old fashioned courtroom whose musty atmosphere is violent of a thousand criminals, there began today a grim name of life or death for the angest pair of criminals that faced its bar, Nathan Leopold, and Richard A. Loeb, both elderly out of their teens.
They kidnapped and killed 13-year-old Robert Franks, "Just for a kill."
The game is being played by the lawyers. On the one side are the lawyers.

An actor tells a story concerning a Turkish bath he once had in a town "out west."
"My attendant was a very strong man," he said. "He laid me on the slab and prodded and kneaded and punched and hammered me in a most emphatic way."
At the end, after I had got up, he came behind me and gave me four terrific resounding smacks on the bareback with the palm of his enormous hand.
"What on earth did you do that for?" I panted.
"Oh, no offense, sir," replied the man.

A splendid proposal is to be presented to residents of Yurba Linda district soon. The board of trustees have discussed the plan of erecting a new modern school building of either brick or stucco, to contain an auditorium, and to be large enough to meet the needs of the community for a number of years. Also to combine with it a concrete plunge on the school grounds. The idea for the plunge on the school grounds originated with Mr. L. C. Janeway who points out several advantages of having it there; among them being a low spot on the south side of the school grounds which would require but a little more excavating, and also the custodian for the school property, lives on the school grounds and is paid for the entire year and could be in charge of the pool dur

'What on earth did you do that for?' I panted.
'Oh, no offense, sir,' replied the man; 'it was only to let the office know I was ready for the next comer! You see, the bell's out of order in this room.'"
She said she had been employed in the Leopold home for three years and knew "young Nathan well."
The maid testified that there had been a portable Underwood typewriter in the Leopold home for several months prior to the Franks murder. It was on this machine that the ransom letter was written to the elder Franks.
She said she had seen young Nathan use the machine "many times."
"Is this machine similar to the one in Nathan's rooms?" asked Crowc, holding aloft the battered machine that was taken out of the Jackson Park lake. It had been thrown there by young Leopold after the murder.
