REDWOOD CITY RUMBLINGS
Mr and Mrs. L.B. THOMAS spent Sunday here with friends. They reside in Berkeley, where they have a very pretty home.
Miss Ulreca SAHLBERG, who graduated from the State Normal School in San Francisco last week, has been appointed a teacher in the Alpine school, near La Honda. She will begin teaching next Monday.

The little fellow met with an accident while shooting on the marsh last winter and suffered the loss of two of the fingers of his right hand by the discharge of a gun while he was attempting to cross a fence. The boy will not be handicapped very much as he will have the full use of the hand.
The justice court of the Third township earned in fines during the year of 1913, the sum of $2025, the amount being more than twice the annual salary of the justice. However, the amount was not near as large as the year previous. This may be accounted for by the fact that motorist are beginning to learn that they must obey the speed laws and fines are not so much, in fact they have dropped nearly sixty per cent since 1912.
J. SOMERS was sentenced Friday by Judge Lampkin to pay a fine of $35 for speeding. He was arrested for the offense on March of last year by Officer Brown and told to appear for trial, but disregarded the admonition, and did not come to Redwood City. Brown saw him the other day coming down the peninsula and he again arrested him. Judge Lampkin was at first inclined to impose a jail sentence, but on the pleadings of SOMERS, he finally let him off with a fine.
P.H. McEVOY will hold a big auction sale on Saturday, the 21st instant at which he will dispose of all of his stock and farming implements. Mr. McEVOY will retire from business.
