Confidential information, however, has it that a corps of alienists this, morning arrived In town and registered at a leading local hostelry. This may indicate a battle along lines of "tempus fugit" or "erraticus amer-icanus" and then again tt may not.

It may simply be claimed that Bava did not sell the bottle to Tompkins. Should the latter line be pursued there appears to be room lit the case for controversy. On the side-lines there were seated the mayor, chemist who analyzed the contents of the controversial bottles, chief of police, photographers, battery of special writers, reportorial sob sisters and till that goes with a history making event. The police court jury trial of Pete Bava, proprietor of the Firenze hotel on Water street, for illegal possession of liquor, got under way in Judge W. R.

Springer's justice dispensary at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The defendant, Pete, was on hand, as were John and Georgia Panattoni, proprietor and proprietress respectively of the' Roma hotel, Bulkhead street, who are also due for jury trials in police court on like charges. Their cases were also set for today, but as only one police judge and one police court was available, why, they simply had to wait their turn. Pete Bava must needs go through all this grief because C. E.

The signing of Madigan is likely to make St. Mary's a dangerous rival to the larger universities and more so because the Catholic college will only lose two of its players by graduation this year.

Mr. Johnston explained that the committees reached this decision in a desire to act fairly with the Crowe company in view of the fact that the former failed to secure another suitable location for a garage building during the the Crowes agreed to wait. made by Police Chief Hannah and posse on the morning of January 5, 1925.

The truck drivey is reported to have thereupon placed the injured man on the truck for the purpose of bringing him into the city for medical attention.

Constable Horstinan of the mountain town, called by the poolroom proprietor to investigate the robbery, ascertained that entrance had been effected by breaking a panel of glass in the rear door of the building and thereupon removing a bar which held the door from the inside. Nothing was disturbed in the building.

Outside of the stolen cash it was ascertained that no cigars or other supplies kept in the building had been touched. The poolroom proprietor, on closing his establishment, left the cash register unlocked so that the barber in the game building could have access to change. It is the opinion of Constable Horstman, after a thorough investigation, that the burglary was the work of a person or persons thoroughly familiar with habits and practices of the operators of the pool room and barber shop.

Watsonville papers also tell of a Sunday accident to the machine belonging to Edward Fortner of this city. Says the Pajaronian in part: "Mr. Fortner, accompanied by his wife and family, was driving to Watsonville from their home at Santa Cruz, when they were run into and the auto damaged by another machine. They came to police headquarters here, and reported the accident to Chief S. Whitsitt, together with the fact that a fender of their car was smashed.
