PASADENA.

Daring Attempt to Hold Up = Citizen.
A Serious Fali-Notes.
PASADENA, Jan. 30.-Another bold
hold up was attempted in the northern
portion OF the city last night, which
only failed through frightened horse.
This time the footpad was more daring
than usual, as he attacked a man driv-
ing and not on foot az has been the case
heretofore.
AS Mr.. J. S. Plant was driving along
Lincoln avenue about IL O'Clock last
evening, near Orange Grove, man sud-
denly Hprang out from the hedge which
ing the horse by the bit, commanded
the driver to stop, at the same time at
tempting to draw q pistol. In this,
however, he was frustrated by the
horse which, being frightened, reared,
and threw the fellow off his feet. At
the same time the driver gave the ami
NAL q cut with the whip and he sprang
forward, running completely over the
highwayman, which was the last seen
of him, as Mr.. Plant had no gun and
did not stop to investigate.
The frequency of these occurrences
makes it unsafe to be out unarmed in
the suburbs after dark.
