PASADENA, Nov. 2.-Mesers. D. Confer
and DR.. Firth returned yesterday from
. trip through Bear valley, go miles
back of San Bernsrdino. The entire
"trip was made by carriage over some OF
the most interesting country in South-
srn California, and both report having
had q splendid time. The valley at this
time OF the year is practically deserted,
only few struggling settlers and hunt
ers being run across. Game and hsh
abound on all sides, and some frst-class
Iport was enjoyed. The highest slti-
tude OF the valley reached by the party
was almost 5000 feet. or mile and a
half higher than Pasadena. At this
height cold weather was encountered In
startling contrast to the climate in tho
6sn Gabriel valley.
The spring where the supply OF water
for the camp was secured, froze up every
night and had to be cut open in the
morning. Icicles from 3 to feet long
were no uncommon sight. Mr.. Confer.
who has lived in the south long enough
to become acclimated. did not take the
change of temperature sufficiently into
consideration, and as consequence one
colo morning had his nose we'll frosted.
The scenery along the crest OF the
Sierra Nevada range, along which the
party travelled one entire day, is eaid to
be something wonderful, and combined
with the crisp, bracing air. would alone
repay visit to the valley.
The gentlemen bring back quantity
OF game and fab. the quality OF which
will be vouched for by their friends.
Both look much benefited by the
outing. The return trip home was
made in little over two days.
PITIFUL CASE.
A case of pitiful nature, and in which
it would seem the ends of justice would
have been better served had it never
been prosecuted, came up in Justice
Lawreuce's court this morning.
Emerson Loomis, a poor fellow nearly
gone with illness, figured as defendant
against charge of assault and battery.
Tie offense alleged was committed in
Sierra Madre some months ago, Emerson
getting into q quarrel with his brother
Raysnd, cutting him slightly with q
knife. A warrant waB sworn out at the
time but was not served until yesterday,
Loomis having kept out OF sight till
then. Meanwhile his brother, who
caused the complaint to be issued, has
gone east and when the case came up
today there was no complaining witness.
J. Marion Brooke, attorney for the de-
fendant, moved that the case be dis.
missed but the court decided to take the
matter under advisement until tomorrow
morning. Meanwhile the defendant was
released on his own recognizanee. hav-
ing no money and presenting physic-
ian's certificate that he could not stand
confinement. The man is in the last
stages OF sickness and presented a pitiful
appearance.
TO OPPOSE THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Interest over the proposed entrance Of
the Southern Pacific road into Pasadena
still continues to increase. The opposi.
tion to the tracks ever crossing Colo
rado street ia genarsl and will doubtless
knock out that part Of the scheme at
least.
The following petition has been cir
culsted and signed by about 100 citizons
and business men:
'ro the City Trustees of the City of Pasadena
"GENTLEMEN We. the undersigned,
residents and citizens of Pasadena,

rado street. at Broadway, al prayed for
