ergy to the interests of San Bernardino
county and it's advertisers. We well
come the sensible youngster to the
journalistic field and put it down for
an x.
For some time past Mr.. S. T. Har-
ris, the proprietor of the Los Angeles
Hotel, has been missing considerable
sums from his money till, for the dis
appearance of which he could discover
no explanation. Yesterday he stated
his case to Detective Officer Harris,
and that gentleman soon threw con-
siderable light on the mystery. The
investigation fixed upon our Indian
hoy named RomaldO, an employee In
the house as the thief, and, on being
arrested, the young rascal owned up
to his guilt. The amount taken was
| $40, all of which the boy had pilfered
in twenty-dollar pieces. For one Of
his guild, Romaldo had mode an ex-
cellent spenditure of his ill-gotton
wealth. He had purchased two
horses for 500 each, a silver watch and
chain for $l8, a revolver for $40, and a
full suit of clothing from hat to boots,
with such little etceteras as a gentle
man of refined taste would desire. All
of the chattels were discovered and
confiscated, and Romaldo was made a
guest of the city.
