Train The stork chooses queer places to alight and one of the queerest was the "Owl" train, fast limited of the Southern Pacific, speeding from Los Angeles to Oakland a few days ago. On the "Owl" were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Burckhalter, well known in Martinez, Burckhalter being a nephew of Mr. and Mrs.

J. F. Hoadley of this city. They were on their way to Oakland in anticipation of the event that Mrs. Burckhalter had been expecting for some days.

Old Mr. Stork, however, had different plans than the Burckhalters. Possibly his services were needed elsewhere, or possibly he was tiring on the long flight from Los Angeles. At any rate, he volplaned--or whatever it is storks do--on to the train, depositing in the arms of the astonished Mrs. Burckhalter a bouncing baby boy.

The conductor of the train suggested that the infant be christened "Owliver."

CAGE TITLEMEET BERKELEY The basketball team of the Mt. Diablo High school defeated the team of Alhambra High last night in a hard fought battle. The game was one of the best of the season. In the first half, Alhambra showed good teamwork and gained a slight lead over the opposing team. but in the last half the Concordites pushed to the front.

For years Concord has won the title from Alhambra but this is not due to lack of training or coaching. Martinez boasts of one of the best coaches in the league. A large number of rooters accompanied then team to Concord and they did their bit in cheering. The same crowd returned to Martinez, smiling even though the score was 18 to 12. On Saturday night Mt.

Diablo High School will meet Berkeley High, probably at Concord, to play for the championship of northern California. winning team of this meeting will meet the championship teams of other sections of the state for the state high school championship. SAN PABLO WIFE SEEKS DIVORCE Luis Garcia, of San Pablo, an employe of the Pacific Sanitary Manufacturing Company, of Richmond, was not the pleasantest man in the world to live with, according to the divorce compaint filed here today by Elvira Garcia, through her attorney, Will S. Robenson of Richmond. "Day by day, in every way, he'd bat her and bat her and bat is the Coueism that might be her," evolved after reading Mrs.

Garcia's complaint, for in it she alleges that husband's chief delight was to come home and use her as a punching bag, sometimes varying the program by knocking her down by blows with a frying pan or other convenient weapon, and at others attempting to carve her up with a butcher knife. For these little unpleasantries Mrs. Garcia asks that community property valued at $2850 be awarded her together with attorney's fees in the sum of $100 and court costs of $50.
