PASADENA, Aug. ia case has turned
up in this usually quite city that for
horrible details will rival the famous
Garrett case which attracted so much
attention in Los Angeles, and the perpe-
traitor of the deed, if it can be proven,
should be placed where he can do no
more evil for the rest of his natural life
The first intimation of the existence of
any thing wrong was this morning,
when Mrs. Dodson Moore called at the
police station and swore to complaint
against Christ. Juan, charging him with
an attempt to commit rape, and naming
as his victim his daughter, Miss Juan.
The man Juan. who is charged with this
crime, is a Swiss, about So years OF age.
Up to about six months ago he was in
the employ OF the water company, but
was discharged on account of drunken
ness. Since that time he has been on o
continued spree. His. daughter, who
is member of the Salvation
army, is good looking and modest ap-
pearing girl about 10 years old, and the
store OF abuse she tells is pitiful. There
is quite family, consisting Of several
younger children, and Mrs. Juan, who
speaks English with difficulty, but ap-
pears to be very respectable woman
and shows evidence of culture. 1t ap-
pears from the story of both mother and
daughters, that Juan is very fend.
He is in the habit of coming home in
an intoxicated condition, and not only
beating his wife and children, but had
made repeated attempts to outrage his
daughter, although she denies that he
succeeded in accomplishing his purpose.
The warrant for his arrest was placed
in the hands of Marshall Buchanan late
in the day. It seems he had gotten
wind Of the matter and was making
tracks out of town as fast as possible.
manda Park. Marshall Buchanan de-
serves much credit for his prompt ar
rest, for it would have been nearly i'm
reached the mountains. As it is he is
safely behind the bars and likely to stay
there.
A CHARITY HOSPITAL.
The Pasadena Hospital society, an
organization which has been started for
charitable purposes, met this afternoon
at A. r. Metcalf's Office and transacted
considerable business. Mr.. j. w. Sco-
vile, who has taken an active part in
the association since it started, reported
the purchase of four lots on Raymond
avenue between Painter and Illinois
street where the building will be
located. An effort will be made to estab-
lish paid up capital of $25, 900, ofwhich
amount Mr.. Scoville has agreed to give
$4,000. This association is endeavorine
to carry out noble work and should
receive the support Of the community.
CHEAP JOHN REMEMBERED.
Many Pasadenians will remembel
the case of Cheap John, the colored
restaurant keeper, who was arrested
for selling liquor, contrary to the
city ordinance, about year ago, and
after paying his fine suddenly disap-
peared. 1t appears that at the time ol
his sudden taking off warrant was
hanging over him, but had not been
served. Since that time be has been
rusticating in the republic OF Mexico.
Supposing that the thing had all blown
over, he returned to his old haunts this
morning, and was promptly arrested by
Marshall Buchanan before he had been
in town half hour. He was released
on bail, and his trial will come off in a
few days.
THE TERMINAL AND COLORADO STREET.
The meeting of the city council next
Monday will be devoted to the consid-
Grafton of the proposed granting to the
Terminal Railroad company OF privi-
iege to lay tracks across Colorado street.
Both sides will be out in arms and
promise to make the meeting extremely
interesting. The citizens opposing the
company's request claim that the COM
pany may do away with the necessity of
laying additional tracks across the
street by purchasing a tract of land
lying north of that already owned by
them. 1t is difficult to say what will be
the outcome.
