those who know say he is some hand
at the hosing fame. Jentzen weighs
fully 2£5 and is a big man at that.
But Broyles went at him hammer and
tongs and was slapping the neat vlabs
to his map, when the crowd Interfer
ed.
Leading up to the slugging there
was some tart repartee. Several
cases had been dismissed by Broyles
fn which the sanitary inspector was
interested. There were sharp words
between the two, when Broyles said:
“If you had been here and heard

He was well tilted at the camp, and
next week he would have been re

But yesterday morning, shortly be

hour the hounds were on his trail.
They followed him. across country

‘Til admit I get my money from

now and keep quit”
“I’ll do no such thing," shouted
Jentzen. The Idea of you applying
such a term to gentlemen and hon

"Well I’m satisfied they are more
gentlemen than you are,” replied
Broyles, his face very pale.
“Yes, and you too,” shouted Jent

“You are a liar, sir," hissed the
recorder.
“And you are another liar," yelled
Jentzen.
Then the upheaval. Broyles came
over the desk, shedding his coat en
transit, and fell on the bulky chief
like a ton of bricks. In the struggle
Jentzen shoved Broyles across
desk, and they became separated. Be
fore they could clinch again, they
were separated.
Both gave out statements covering
their side of the matter. It Is not im
probable that the mayor will take
action in the matter. The affair caus-

COTTON IN CALIFORNIA.
'Land in That State Produces Bale
and Half Per Acre.
Ranchers In southern California
are experimenting with cotton grow
ing. The lands they are planting in
cotton are reclaimed (Irrigated)
desert lands. Last year 1,200 acres
were planted. It Is stated In the
Technical World Magazine that some
of these lands produced ss much as
a bsle snd a half to the acre of an
excellent staple. The prediction is
that between 10,000 snd 25,000
acres will be planted in cotton
southern California this year, and
that cotton spinning and weaving
mills will quickly spring up on the
coist. This sounds very much like
the enthusiasm of a new convert, or
the - rows of delight of a baby with
n new rattle. It may be that south
ern California will prove a cotton
producing section of some Import
ance, but If has as yet got to be
shown.
