eight ie as absurd as II 10 amusing, ana
and will deceive no one. Neither will
its attempted bluff about not coming
into the city unless given everything 1t
asks for paralyze any one. Pasadena
has grown into one Of the most proe-
porous and wealthy communities in
Southern California, With no assistance
from the Southern Pacific, and will con.
tinue to grow and prosper whether or
not Mr.. Huntinston's road comes in.
The factH in this case are too plain TO
need any explanation. The Southern
Pacific wante to get In, and wants to get
In badly. 1t wants to come up Broad
way to avoid the expense OF buying
right Of way over private property. 1t
wante to avoid all payments 70: dam
ages possible. It objects to board Of
arbitration because it would have to pay
its juat dues. 1t wants the city couucil
to give it an unincumbered franchise
and let the property owners fight the
matter out in court as best they can. 1t
wants all this, and will probably want
the whole city before it gets through.
The attempt OF Los Angeles morning
paper to show that public sentiment IA
vored turning the city over to the cor
poration, has been complete failure,
as shown by the petition published in
this mornings HERALD, signed by al
most every prominent business man,
asking the council to compel the com.
pany to arbitrate before granting fran
chiee. It ie noticeable that while the
paper publishes this pstition. it fails to
print the formidable list Of names which
are attached to it. Moreover, in addi-
tion 10 the long list of signatures pub
lished yesterday, the following names
have been added today. 10 anything
more necessary?

DEATH OF FRANK H. vALLETTE.
The news of the death of Mr.. Frank
II. Vallette, at his residence on East
Colorado street At 3 o'clock this morn
ing. will be received with surprise and
SORROW by his many friends in this city.
Deceased had been confined to his
bed but four days. but has been in poor
health for come time, not such. how-
ever. as to interfere with his attending
his business % usual until very recently.
The immediate cause of the death was Q
slight hemorrhsge OF the brain, super
induced by general muscular weakness
and touch Of heart trouble. Deceased
has been resident Of Pasadena Tor the
past four years, and is generally known.
being OF genial nature and connected
with public institutions and charities,
giving much in this way. He was .
gentleman OF large means, having
amassed fortune In Chicago after the
great FIRE. He was native of Napier.
vile. ILL.,. and was in hiH 45th year.
Mr.. Vallette was . great worker in
the Univsrsalist church, being superin-
tendsnt of the Sunday school and .
leader in the church. He was also q
member and . leading spirit In the
Charity Organization society.
His death is sad loss to his wife and
daughters, and the sincere sympathy OF
many friends il extended.
Mr.. Thomas Martin, . brother'of Mrs.
Vallette, ie on the road here from Chi-
cago, and arrangements for the funeral
will be deferred until his arrival.
At meeting of the students Of the
Throop Poly teohnic institute this alter
noon committee was appointed to draft
suitable revolutions OF coincidence to the
bereaved family in behalf of the insti-
tute, OF which Miss Vallete is q member.
NOT EVIDENCE ENoU aH.
The preliminary hearing of the two
Mexicans, Oble Sylvas aud Pablo Rocha.
charged with the murder Of q fellow
Mexican named Rolan, at the Chapman
ranch, about two wesks ago, came up
before Justics Merriam today. Judge
Utley appeared for the people and Benz.
Hahn for the defendants. The wit
nesses examined were ell Msxicans and
it Was impossible to get any satisfactory
evidence out of them. Eight or nine of
them were brought up by the foreman
OF the ranch, who has been working up
the case. but nothing conclusive could
be brought out. AT the conclusion OF
the evidence for the prosecution Mr..
Utley stated that he did not feel iusti-
fed. from the evidence, In asking the
court TO hold the defendants, and they
were accordidgly dismissed. The muir
der for which the men we're arrested was
one OF the most cold-blooded affairs
which haa occurred ia this section for q
long time. The victim was induced to
go out into the field and his head was
then mashed in by his companions with
Q demijohn which he carried. It is very
doubtful now If the right parties are
ever brought to justice.
