An Alert Street Superintendent-Local
Matters.
PASADENA, Jan. 7.-Our worthy street
superintendent, @. @. Brown, voices his
troubles in semi-oficial communica-
tion to the Star this evening. From the
tone of the said communication this
most worthy gentleman has decided to
assert himself as the street superinten-
dent of this city. He points out as an
example of the dire calamities that may
befall the transgreesor the arrest of two
reputable citizens" and the extracting
therefrom the sum Of IS each for allow
ing hedge and tree trimmings to lay in
the street and declares his indomitable
intention of pursuing the careless hedge
trimmer to the bitter end regardless of
results.
ALI persons having street signs or
awnings within shooting distance from
the sidewalk should also be on the look
out for the aforesaid superintendent, for
he has gore in his eye.
LEFT HIS DEBTS BEHIND.
G. A. Upper, the confectionery man,
has left town without saying good bye
to his interested friends, many of whom

Monday evening, and has not been
seen since. The stock and
fixtures in his establishment were put
up at auction this afternoon but failed
to bring a sum anywhere near the
amount of his debts.
His sudden taking off will prove a
severe blow to some of our good church
people whose confidence had been
gained, much to their subsequent sorrow.
