Train Robber Story wsshington's
Birthdav-NOtes.
PASADENA, Feb 21.-Judge Eaton states that
he strongly suspects the Roscoe train robbers
are in the moutains in the vicinity OF the
Arroyo seco, north OF Pasadena Whether the
judges theory is a plausible one or not, says
the star, we do not pretend to say, but we give
his story to our readers for what they may
consider it worth.
He says that last Sunday and Monday nights
three men sought shelter in a building OF the
Pasadena Improvement company that stands
north of the big curve in the Terminal Rail
way companys track on the Altadena tract.
man that had been working for Judge Eaton
in laying water-pipe for the company is in
charge of the house, which is used also for
storing hay. Sunday evening three men armed
with Winchesters and revolvers came to the
house and asked permission to sleep in the
hay, which was granted, and they remained
all night, returning to the mountains in the
morning. The next night the visit was re-
peated. One was a short man with a weeks
growth of light-colored beard, another was
taller, and the description of the third is not
forthcoming.

WOULDN'T WORK.
1t is not often that man will stand up and
confess that he would rather beg than work
but Justice Merriam had such a specimen to-
day before him charged with vagrancy. The
fellow gave the name of A. Arnold and was
run in by the police after being fired out of the
city camp for unemployed. In reply to ques-
been offered job at $15 month and board
but wouldn't take it saying he would rather
beg.
The court did the best it could in the matter
and sent the fellow to the county jail for 20
days. Such confinement with nothing TO do is
no punishment for such people.
NOT IN SIGHT

special session which was to have been held
by the city council this morning. for the pur-
