Sothern cached his loot in the home of Albert Weir, where he had been living. When Deputy Sheriffs Wood and Larsen tock an inventory of the goods, dry and liquid, which Sothern had taken ‘they estimated he must have made five or six trips between the market and his room. There were several demijohns of wine, hundreds of pairs of socks, and a large stock of other merchandise, all told, valued at around $100. Sothern states he was drunk when he did his pilfering.

Judge Tuttle now has several hundreds of these communist post cards, which he has received since the six defandants were arrested. An interesting development in the Boca dam project of late has been the relinquishment of the contract by the original ‘contractor. Another contractor has prepared to pick up the work, disrupted by ‘the CIO-communists, but he proposes to employ only AF of L labor. The CI0O-communists however, have appealed to the Labor Board to guard their right to the Boca dam job, and the matter is now being considered. The C1O-communists declare they have a a letter from her niece, Mrs. Clara MeMath Trummer telling of the miraculous rescue of her little daughter, Donna Trimmer last Friday in San Francisco.

One such hotel cost $2,000,000 and the foundations had to be laid by men who were genuine mountain climbers.
