The Armstrong Reception The syme
Case-Notes.
PASADENA, Feb. 2.-Among the many
pleasant events which have been chron-
icled during the present season must be
added the reception given last evening
by Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Armstrong at
their elegant highland home at Alta
dena. A very large number OF invita-
tions had been issued, to most OF which
responses were received, filing the
house with a brilliant and merry throng.
The house itself was handsomely decor
ated for the occasion. :,
The host and hostess were assisted by
Mrs. A. w. Armstrong and Miss Sanford.
Games, cards and dancing to the merry
chime of Arend's orchestra furnished
amusements, while elegant refreshments
we're served during the evening, the
tables being presided over by Mrs. W.
U. Masters, Mrs. Hull, Mrs. Hughes,
Mrs. Neff, Miss Wills and Miss Wilde.
On the whole most delightful evening
was spent by all present, and 1t was at
late hour when the gay party hnaliy
dispersed.
THE END NOT YET.
The end of the case Of the people vs..
W. H. Syme, in which the San Gabriel
Valley bank appeared as prosecuting
witness, has evidently not yet reached
o conclusion, by several majority.
As will be remembered, the superior
court recently set aside the verdict OF
guilty that was found against the de-
fendant in Justice Lawerence's court,
throwing the matter out of the courts.
Mr.. Syme he's sued the San Gabriel
Valley bank for $4,000 damages for al
lodged malicious prosecution and for
damaging the value OF his properly.
will Be watched for with interest.
A CAVE IN.
Some excitement was caused on Kan
sas street, near Raymond avenue, this
afternoon by bank caving on two men
who were digging trench for sewer
connections. The ditch was about IL
feet deep at the time, and one man was
almost entirely buried, while his COM
panion was covered up to the waist
owing to the weight OF the damp earth,
ther cave was momentari)y expected,
their situations were anything but agree
able, Fortunately both were dug out
uninjured.
