MANY INDICTMENTS
FIREMEN ARE CALLED

FOR GARAGE FIRE
The garage of Paris Lamar on east
First street, was discovered early
Saturday afternoon to be on fire, and
the fire department responded. The
blaze was soon put out. How it orig­
inated is a mystery. Mr. I-amar com-
ing from down town town first saw
the smoke at the southeast corner of
the building, and rushing in managed
to push out his auto to a place of
temporary safety. It is believed that
the fire was either the work of child­
ren, or that it was carried in a spark
from the mill smokestack. Practic­
ally no damage resulted.

There developed at the late fair
ground a considerable sentiment in
favor of building on the new grounds
owned by the county for g fair site.
Many people do not know that the
present grounds are leased each year
from the Southern Pacific Company,
and that according to the terms of
the contract, the Company can de­
mand and take posession of the
grounds at any time they may see fit.
The county owns the new grounds
further east, but on the same road,
and is paying taxes on ground which
is not being used. Still another rea­
son for improving the new grounds
is that the increased population and
attendance has outgrown the old
grounds. The room for a modern race
track also is too small, and first class
racing attractions cannot be had, so
long as the present track is used.
There is no parking space for auto­
mobiles or teams, and parking on the
highway obstructs traffic, and is
dangerous to pedestrians coming and
going to the fair. A new grand stand
will also have to be erected, and it is
deemed poor policy to build a new
one on leased ground, when the coun­
ty owns a tract of its own. Consid­
erable expense will have to be under­
gone next year in fixing up the pres­
ent ground, and those are some of
the reasons why exhibitors and oth-
ers are seriously considering the mat-
ter of the improvement of the
grounds already purchased for the
purpose.
FOURTEEN QUARTS
BRING $200 FINE
A little bird gave information that
some wild booze was ready for the
picking, and last Friday morning
deputy sherifT Chester Holden slipped
out into the country and went into
hiding. Soon, indeed, he was reward­
ed for his morning vigil, when How­
ard Williams came out into a field
and picked up a sack containing 14
quarts of white liquor and took it to
his waiting auto and deposited same.
As he was about to step on the gas,
Holden placed him under arrest. In
Justice Stanley’s court that afternoon,
Williams plead guilty to the charge
of posession, and was mulcted two
hundred simoleons of the realm.
Veri-lee, the way the fines pile up, is
something scandalous.
On Friday last at 10 o’clock, Bouch,
Osborne and DePuis, the burglars,
and Thomas and Grayson, forgers,
who were sentenced to serve in the
pententiary all the way from 18
months to three years, were grouped
on the court house steps and photo­
graphed. A minute later they were
arranged in a big automobile, and
with Curt Bowers at the wheel, and
Sheriff Aschim and Glenn Terry in
the back seat, the car started for

In a room in the basement of the
court house is one of the most heter­
ogeneous collections of whiskey stills
ever taken in this county, or for that
matter, in any other coast county.
The stills are of all sizes and shapes,
and range in kind from a five gallon
coal oil can, milk can, wash boilers
and quite a variety of copper stills.
In capacity they range from a five
gallon can to a 50 gallon still. With
the stills are numerous kinds and
sizes of stoves, and other furniture
taken in raids. This stuff is accumu­
lating very fast. If the business of
illiet stilling continues, and if the
authorities are as successful in tak­
ing them in the future as they have
been in the past, the room will have
to be enlarged, for the reason that
it is about full. The county cannot
destroy these stills, as that job is con­
trolled by the government. Truly, a
part of the basement of the court
house is a museum of whiskey stills,
representing many grades of mechan­
ical ingenuity.
