They Drink His Fizz and
Smoked His PerfectOs.
After Rifling His House They
Escape.
Chief Crowley Captures the Burglars
in San Francisco.
Judge Btcknell Employs Two Tramps
who in Return Steal His Belong
ings-The Story OF the Crime
and the Capture.

Detective Walter Auble left last even
ing for San Francisco to bring back to
Los Angeles two burglars, Charles
Wagon and John Loper, who have been
arrested by Chief Crowley and his force.
On Friday, April 1st, Judge Bicknell, at
his house, No. 227 South Broadway,
found the two men, who were tramps,
nosing about the premises. They told
the Judge that they were looking for
work, and the proprietor of the place,
who was preparing to move his house,
engaged them to tear up the brick of
walk in his back yard. In the mean
time, he gave them permission to sleep
in an outhouse in the rear of his place.
On the next day, Saturday, the two
men overheard the Judge saying that he
would take his family to Monrovia, and
they made their plans accordingly. AS
soon as the family had gone, Wagon and
Loper broke open the back door and
lifted b second door from it's hinges.
They then obtained an entrance to the
building and rifed all the dressing cases
and drawers in the house. They secured
lot Of plunder, including gold watch
and chain and valuable Knight Tenn
plar charm, on the back of which was
engraved the name 81. j. Reynolds"
After the burglars had completed
their work they found their way to
Judge BicknelPs wine cellar, and also
discovered box of Perfecto cigars.
They took several bottles of fizz and
the hsvanas to the judges parlor, made
themselves comfortable, and enjoyed
themselves to their taste. A lady Of the
neighborhood, at about 6 O'Clock that
day, called at the Bicknell house, and
walked to the back door. She received
no answer to her knock, and finding the
doors open, walked into the house.
She was suSprised to find no one pres
ent, and was still more surprised, when
she opened the parlor door, to find two
men having blowout among the biic-
a-brac. Wagon, when the lady ar
rived, at once politely arose and
explained that he and his partner had
been hired to take down the pictures
and prepare them for transportation.
This seemed satisfactory and the caller
left.
When Judge Bicknell and his family
returned. they found, of course, that the
house had been robbed. Notice was at
once given to the police authorities, and
a description OF the two tramps was
added. The description was at once
spread broadcast among the coast towns
and elsewhere, and yesterday Chief
Glass was delighted with the informa-
ton that the two thieves had been
in San Francisco. Detective Auble and
his prisoners will probably arrive here
on Tuesday.

A Few Minor Recommendations Made
to City Council.
The following report of the finance
committee was filed yesterday:
Recommend that the statement of the
city auditor showing the condition oi
the funds for week ending March 81,
1892, be filed.
In the matter of petition No. 22S from
Mrs. M. E. Kimball, upon the certif.
icate of the city assessor, that the claim
is just one, and that the money should
be refunded, we recommend that the
sum OF $500 be returned to petitioner
upon the presentation of a proper de-
mand drawn upon the tax fund Of 1891
1892, for the reason that the improve
ments upon lot 81, Broderick's subdi-
vision, were assessed at $4,000 instead OF
$1440, through clerical mistake.

A VALUABLE PUBLICATION.
An Interesting Pamphlet Issued by the
Historical Society.

An Interesting Pamphlet Issued by the
Historical Society.
The Historical society OF Southern Cal
ifornia has issued a unique publication; ;
one of intense interest to all who are in
terested in the romantic history of the
discovery and occupation of California
by the Spaniard. 1t is collection of
documents relative to that period,
taken from the India archives of Spain
at Seville.
The work has been done by the presi-
dent OF the society, Col. George Butler
Griffin, probably the only man here
capable of such scholarly work, combin-
ing the practical accuracy of an accom-
plished linguist with the fervor of an
enthusiastic student of history. The
work is one that will have a perpetual
value; one which should be recognized
as it's scholarly features and great
value deserve.
The original documents were loaned
to the society by Mr.. Sutro of San Fran
cisco, and but two-the diaries of
Fathers Crespi and de la Pehce-have
ever before been published. The work,
which is on sale at Stoll & Thayer's, will
be of interest to all classes of readers.
1t is beautiful specimen of the art of
brochure publication.

THE MARINE BAND.

This Great Organization to Give Three
Concerts Here.
The United States Marine band-the
presidents band--will give three con-
certs in this city on Tuesday and
Wednesday next at Hazards pavilion,
one each evening and one matinn on
Wednesday.
What is the Marine band OF Washing
ton? That everybody knows. It is the
pride of the nation and of Washington
official life. 1t is the band of the White
House, of congress, and of army and
navy circles in Washington. 1t is the
band which beguiles the guests of the
president at all of the White House re-
ceptions. 1t is the band which, on Sat-
urday afternoons in the White Hoase
grounds, causes all Washington to flock
to the scene and charms them with it's
delightful strains. 1t is the band
which heads all the Grand Army par
ades and every distinguished official
procession. 1t is the band which is the
chief musical feature of the Inauguration
ceremonies and balls. And it is, in fact,
the boast of Washington official life,
and the only band in America which ia
regarded as the official exponent of the
musical republic. No pains or expense
is spared to make it perfect. 1t consists
of u great leader, the best musicians
that can anywhere be obtained, and it's
equipments, resplendent uniforms, etc.,
make it perfect picture to the eye.
AS this is the second leave of absence
ever given to the Marine band, and the
first to 60 to the Pacific coast, and as
their leave has been granted in partic-
ular as commemoration of the ami
versary of the discovery of America, the
event will be learned with pleasure by
every lover of rare music in the citv,
