T. U.-Nows Notes.
SAN BERNARDINo, Dec. 20. This town
has an epidemic OF burglars. Three
places have been visited this week, and
in every case money and valuables we're
secured, but the thieves succeeded in 90.
Gaping without being detected. Both OF
the burglaries last reported occurred in
daylight. In addition to the robbery
ct the residence OF w. E. Lsonard
Christmas night. when $l10 was stolen,
burglars entered the residence OF w. 2.
Msnnen on II street the evening before,
and turned everything in the house up
side down searching for money or Jew
elry. No one was in the house Tor
short time in the afternoon, when the
thieves paid their visit, and it is eup-
poeed that an entrance WAS secured by
means OF pass key to the front door.
A gold chain, valued at $50. belonging to
a roomer in the house, was taken, be-
aides q number Of small articles which
were missing. No one saw the burglar
either CONS or 20, and there is
no clus to his identity. On
Monday robbers entered the house OF
Mr.. John Isaac on Tenth street and
made eff with two gold brooch pins SGT
with rubiss. The jswels, in addition 10
being valuable, were highly priced, but
there is no trace of them. Mr.. Isaac
was in tho rear Of the house when tho
robbery was committed, but saw or
heard no one. The police say an
organized band of expert crooks are
working the town and so far nothing has
been discovered which will lead to their
capture.
SUNDAY CLOSING ORDINA NCE.
The fight over the Sunday closing
ordinance is on again aud promises to
be more bitter than before. The matter
came up first in the shape of q petition
| from the Mercantile association OF this
city, which asked for the repeal OF the
Objectionable ordinance. This was
turned down by the board OF
| city trcstees at the meeting Tuesday
night, and these trustees have dropped
| bombshell in the camp BY introduce
ing an ordinance repeating ordinance
| 165, which permits citizens to indulge
themselves in candy. coda water and
ice cream on Sunday. This ordinance
was passed In July as reeult of the
clamor caused By the adoption OF an
ironclad rule which mado money worth
less one day in the week. But the op.
ponents of Sunday closing in general
have been getting their logic to work.
arguing that it was an unfair discrimin.
alton against certain GLASSES OF busipesa
to allow others to keep open on that
day. The indications are that the or
dinance will be repealed, in which case
the only way for tool and his money
to become parted in this town on Sun.
day will be for him to shy it at the
birds.

While they were rounding things up
generally at the close OF the year the

bowlsd it over along with everything
else. The company, unfortunately,

bsr, anyway, and the board decided "a
