PASADENA.


PASADENA, Jan. 3.-While the resi-
dents OF our southern suburb, South
Pasadena. were enjoying themselves ON
Monday last in this city, seeing the
tournament OF roses. burglars were
busily at work helping themselves to
Whatever valuables they were able to
gather, from at least two residences.
The houses entered. 80 far as reported,
were Mr., Bushnell's and Mr.. Atknson'a.
between which the thieves succeeded in
eating away with something over $1,000
Worth of valuables, silver ware, gold
,yatziies, rings, etc. Mr.. Bushnell was
sfie greatest sufferer, the property taken
being valued at between 5000 and 500,
including a valuable diamond ring, four
gold watches and quantity OF silver
Ware and other jewelry.
X The house was entered by prying one
OF the windows open, after which the
burglars had clear sailing as there was
no one on the premises or in the vlcln-
ity, every one being away TO tne Iourna-
ment.
Mr.. Atkinson's house, which stands
4 directly across the street, was in SINH
lsrly unprotected condition, and here
again the thieves had an easy time OF it.
4 A considerable quantity OF lewelry and
N silyerware was taken from this place,
but the haul WAS not 80 large as from the
frat place visited.
1.-THE losses were not discovered until
the return of the families late In the
afternoon, and there seems to be no clue
pointing to who the thieves were. 1t is
thought, however, that it is the work OF
some members OF the large army OF
Namps who roam around in this vicin-
ity, as elsewhere.
/ The police were notified Of the loss at
sace, but so far nothing has been learned
by them.
THE FIR UT ASSOCIATION MEET.
A meeting of the Pasadena fruit az
sociation was held in the Office OF the
secretary, M. E, Wood, yesterday after
noon with good attendance OF members
present.
ssThe new set OF bylaws, as drawn up
by committee appointed for the pur-
pose, consisting of NJ. III. Weight, M.
.. Wood and DR.. Lyman Allen, were ap-
proved and will be finally acted upon at
meeting to be held on Friday next.
. The bylaws, as proposed, call for q
regular meeting OF all members on the
third Monday OF each month. The
shipments of fruit are to be pro rated
among the members, each being given
an equal chance to dispose of his fruit.
The association will pay per cent upon
| all paid up capital stock, to be made
from the sale OF fruit.
! The committee in charge have given
the matter careful attention and be-
lieve that the plan as now arranged will
s.aork to the satisfaction of all parties
I concerned.
This organization of the fruit growers
/ Of this vicinity is modelled after similar
l organ cations in Southern California
and will work in harmony with the gem
| eral association. by which is hoped to
1 do away with the immense profit OF the
| mddleman and give the producer fair
vNsturn for his labor.
Now that organization has been COM
pleted the work of arranging to handle
the present crop will go forward. The
fruit will be ready for shipment in large
quantities in a few weeks, and much
work must be done to get in shape to
handle the crop.
The commission men are, however.
by no means asleep and will make a
Ystrong fight for business. Attractive
circulars holding out large promiees OF
profit have been sent out in great num-
Sersby them to the orange and lemon
Dgrowers.
So far, however, but little if any buy
ing has been done owing to the uncer-
tain condition OF the market. The
crop is rather lighter than usual but the
fruit is OF good size and excellent quail
ltv, being exceptionally free from scale.
A NOTABLE WEDDING.
The marriage OF Mr.. William Meek OF
Los Angeles and Miss Carolyn Stevens
