E. Bowles, president of the First National Bank of | this city, was slightly ounded yester- day afternoon while driving in the Claremont district in an encounter with two youthful amateur highwaymen. That he was not killed is due only to, the fect that he had succeeded in get-| ting almost out of range of the weapon of one of the young knights of the road before the shot to enforce a com- | mand to halt was fired. The banker's son and Eddle Leimert, ger brother of Walter Lelmert, ager of the real estate depart- the Realty Syndicate, were stepped out of the brush at the side of the road. Seeing that the | rger of the strangers was armed with | tgun, Bowles ignored their order | »p and lashed the ponies he was iving into a run. After shouting to them once more to halt, the boy with threw his weapon to his shoul- fired at the fleeing pair. One of the shots plerced the left ear of the banker's son and several struck the back of the cart. MOTHEER BREAKS GUN. At the time the shot was fired, how- | ever, the boys in the cart were almost | of range and the pellets that| struck the vehicle simply marked the woodwork and fell to the ground Bowles and his companion at once re: to their homes in this city| told their parents what occurred and this morning the po- e were notified. The place where the 0 boys were fired upon is outside the 1imits, but Detective George Kyte | detailed on the case and after a | long search to-day he found the youths | who had essayed the role of highway- The shot was fired by Eugene Bar- | who resides with his parents at| 193 Bryant street, and his companion | was Rixford Robbins, whose home is on Broadway, near the grounds of the | Co y Club. Bartolli is but 15 years | of age and his companion 18 in his| tweifth year. When the detective called | at the Bartolli home this afternoon the | boy had already left-the house and the | officer was unable to see him. Young | Bartoll! had sald nothing to his parents | of what had occurred and the mother | of the youth was much shocked when she Tearned that her son had narrowly | escaped arrest on a charge of murder. p Bartoli's first action when she learned of the affair was to take the gun with which the shooting had been done and break it to pieces in the pres- ence of the detective. PROSHCUTION IS UNLIKELY. { Roxford Robbins had also left home thie morning before the arrival of the | officer and his parents were likewise in ance of the fact that their son had mixed up in what had nearly proved a fatal adventure. The parents of neither of the boys can believe that their sons deliberately attempted to hold up Bowles and Leimert, and think that there must have been a quarrel | of some kind. They assured the of- ficers, however, that the youngsters should be properly punished for thelr attempt to fill the two boys full of shot. Some doubt is expressed by the authorities as to whether the matter will be allowed to rest with the punish- ment of the youthful culprits by their parents and it may be that both will be arrested and brought to trial for their offense. by The parents of the wounded boy, who reside at 817 Grand avenue, were high- ly indignant at the unprovoked attack which had been made on the two boys, and had it not been for the fact that their assailants have proved to be little more than children there is no doubt| that Bartolll and Robbins would be se- | verely dealt with. —————————— MARINER STRIKES LEE SHORE.

PUMP IRRIGATION USED WITH SUCCESS Will Improve a Big Section of Land in the Region of Mendota. Special Dispatch to The Call. SELMA, July 19.—Pump irrigation as a means of reclaiming arid lands at\Men- dota, in this county, has been inaugurated successfully by O. W. Stearns and 8. L. Heisinger of this city. These men are putting in a pumping plant to irrigate 34 'acres of land, and already afford a sufficient amount of water for irrigation purposes on this tract, which will be planted mostly in aifdlfa in the fall. Assurance of an abundance of water for pump {irrigation means the rapid devel on the west side of the San Joaquin and ditches taken out of the rivers of the val- ley. The Mendota,land has been an arid waste in the past because of a lack of water and was considered a poor invest- ment at any price. Irrigation will make season, and in time values will go higher as a result of development. The land is very fertile when moistened and is of such quality and depth that irrigation will make it equal in productiveness to the most ored secgions. —_—— Telephone. Franchise Sold.
