JACK THE SQUEEZER.
Pomona Girls in a Terror
lied Condition.
Jack Hugs Them Hard and
Then Runs.
He Prefers Young Women Alone or
in Couples.
His Eseapades Have Aroused the Town.
Several Women Frustrated by
Fright-His Mode of
Operating.

The newspapers OF Pomona have for
months abstained from any mention OF
the peculiar knavjshness some unknown
man in this place has for periodically
going about the residence streets of Po-
mona in the evening and snatching and
squeezing or huggng young women,
saws the Progress. The silence of the
press has been because OF a thought that
possibly by keeping mum the officers
would have better opportunity to lay
plans to catch the rascal than ii he knew
anyone to be on his track. This
squeezing has now become so general,
women are so terrified, and the talk
and wide that it is useless to longer keep
silent.
The squeezer is at work again. He
had several victims last week and
another on last Monday evening
the names being suppressed for good
reasons. The last lady to be caught by
the fellow was fastening down Third
street, to call upon neighbor, about
O'Clock, and when near the corner of
TLliSn 6JfcOb W0ll-OullG HAL,
from the shadow of trees in the rear,
passed her rapidly, and then, before she
had time for even a look, turned as
quick as flash, and grabbed her about
the waist with his arms. He gave her
several violent hugs, turning his face
away at the same moment, and dashed
suddenly across the road in the shadow
of trees, and was gone. The young wo-
man sank exhausted against the fence,
and says that it was several minutes be-
fore she recovered her reason. When
she did she went to a neighbours, and
her brother was called to help her
home.
There is no doubt that the squeezer is
some fellow whose mind is turned upon
the subject OF terrifying or hugging wo-
men. The mans operations, extending
over seven months time, are as care
fully planned and executed as those of
the notorious Jack the Ripper of Lon
don. The man is certainly DAFT on the
subject of squeezing, but all his acts
show that he has much scheming, deep
cunning, and is devilish in his attempts
TO cause as much and as sudden terror
as possible. He is by no means fool
cool, planning and designing rascal.
He selects the times when the public of
Pomona is not thinking OF his acts and
he never perpetrates his peculiar opera
tiohs twice in the same locality.
He bows a prefere nee for young
women, anu he takes them either alone
or in couples. He is very fleet of foot,
and what makes his work the more
alarming is that he acts so violently and
SO quickly. Two young ladies tainted
dead away on the sidewalk after he had
squeezed them, and one lady, in deli
cate condition, nearly lost her life in
consequence OF the awful shock to her
nervous system. Another lady was in
bed several days from nervous fright.
There are hundreds OF women in Po-
mona who do not go out of their door
yards after dark for fear OF meeting the
equeezer on some side street. No one
can really give description of the man
that will lead to his apprehension, but
there are three ladies who are sure they
would know the man if they saw him
again.

ford, r. A. Brown, w. J. Leonard and
o. J. Mitchell, of Portland, filled the
space reserved in Music hall with inter-
ested spectators, where extensive prep
arations had been made for the coming
contest On the third writing Mr.. Nc
Gurrin made the record of 2S6 words per
minute for five consecutive minutes,
breaking all previous official records by
"a words per minute, which transfers to
Mr.. McGurrin the shorthand champion
ship of the world, previously held by
Isaac S. Dement,, OF Chicago. Later in

judges, Mr.. McGurrin wrote 81 words
in SO seconds, when his pen broke and
prevented his writing the full minute.
In the typewriting contest, in which To-
cal talent made good records, Mr.. Nc
Gurrin, blindfolded, wrote 100 words
upon his Remington typewriter from
dictation, in one minute-a remarkable
performance, but one which has been
surpassed by Mr.. McGurrin in former
contests. All the typewriters used by
the different competitors were of the

THE ORPHANS, FAIR.
An Appeal for Liberal and Deserved
Patronage.

An Appeal for Liberal and Deserved
Patronage.
The orphans fair opens tomorrow
evening. The purpose of this is to raise
money enough to reduce if not pay off
the debt due for the noble building re-
Gently completed for the little ones.
Nearly two score years ago the good
work of the sisters OF the Los Angeles
orphan asylum was inaugurated in Los
Angeles, and since the eventful landing
at San Pedro there have been gathered
together under the tuition of the good
sisters thousands of the homeless, with
no considerations as to creed or condi-
ton. These children are trained that
they may become reputable men and
women, the sole profit to the benevolent
order whose members perform this
really humane work being a conscious
ness that their labor has been fitly done.
For many years the home was at the
old weatherbeaten building at the cor
ner OF Macy and Alameda streets, but
the demands upon the good sisters con-
sequent upon the rapid increase of the
population rendered the habitation I'M
tenable. So it was that the present
building was begun, which would be en-
tirely paid for today had not a pro-
posed sale of the Alameda street prop
erty fallen through and left the sisters
with that on their hands. There is
no defined source of income for this
institution.
The fair will be continued throughout
the entire week, closing Saturday even
ing, the Oath. 1t is confidently hoped
that the people will aid in this work ac-
cording to their circumstances that the
debt may be brought down as low as
possible, and that the noble women who
have consecrated their lives to the work
may be told to go on and continue to
incline the friendless waits to a course
of merit and virtue. The giver will be
better by the giving, the community
will be better for possessing in its midst
one who thus gives so opportunity, the
little ones will be better from what they
receive, and the facilities, though good
now. will'be rendered stronger and more
extensive and more in line with the de-
mands of the hundreds not yet provided
for.

FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Recommendation Adopted at Yester
davis Meeting of the Committee.

Recommendation Adopted at Yester-
days Meeting of the Committee.
The report of the finance committee of
council was filed yesterday with City
Clerk Teed to be acted upon tomorrow.
The recommendation by the committee
are:
Recommend that the auditors state
ment of the condition of the funds. for
week ending October Sd, be filed.
Recommend that the street superin-
tendent be instructed to make demand
against the city for $77.25, with which
to pay the city's assessment against the
property on Second street between
Spring and Main streets, for the open
ing and widening of Second street east
OF Main street.
In the matter of the petition from
Mrs. w. Adams, on the certificate OF the
city assessor, we find the statements in
petition to be correct, towit: That Pc
titioner was assessed for a whole lot
when she should have been assessed for
one-half lot, and we recommend that
upon the presentation of proper de-
mand upon the tax 1922 fund, the
sum of 1915 be returned to Mrs. w.
Adams.
Recommend that the demand of the
Pacific Railway company for 50 on &C
count of damage to one OF its cars by
hose cart, be referred to the chief of the
fire department.
In the matter OF the petition from the
Willamette Steam Mill and Lumber COM
pany, No. $40, recommend that the city
auditor be instructed to withhold pay
ment to Contractor Fox until his differ
ence with the Willamette Steam Mill
and Lumber company is adjusted, they
having advanced or having sold him
lumber for the construction of the
bridge.
In the matter of the petition from A.
G. Sisson, No. 572, we find the state
ment in the petition to be correct: That
the improvements upon the south 40 feet
OF lot 25, block 3519, o. S., have been as
sessed twice; once to H. T. Newell,
which il correct, and once to the petit
toner, which is incorrect. And we also
find that the petitioner has paid the
taxes. We therefore recommend that
upon the presentation of a proper de-
mand drawn upon the tax 1892 fund,
the sum of $40 be returned to petitioner
for the foregoing reason.
In the matter of the petition from
Smith & Thompson for $156 expenses of
abstracts and certificates OF title in the
matter of the opening of Macy street,
which was abandoned, we recommend
that the same be referred to the street
commissioners, who were appointed to
open said street, with the request that
they file with this committee the said
abstracts and certificates of title and
such information as they may possess
regarding the correctness OF the de-
mand.
