CUT HIS BROTHER.
Our neighboring village OF Sierra
Madre. usually SO quiet and orderly, was
disturbed last night by stsbbing affair
that took place in the eastern part OF
town, says the Star. The participants
in the cutting were two brothers named
Emerson and Ray LOOMS, the former
of whom is a sickiy man who has lived
in Sierra Madre several years. The
other brother came out from the east
not long ago to take care OF Emerson
and ia reputed to be worth some little
money. Both are married mon and have
been living with their families in one
house. Last evening Emerson Loomis
came home from Pasadena in an irrita-
BILE mood and sat down in the yard out
aide of the house. He and his brother
had been having come disagreements,
probably over family matters, and last
night the trouble seemed to rankle in
his mind. When Ray cav him sitting
outside he went to the door and called
to him to come in and be man. En-
erson refused, when his brother went
toward him. but was met with hostile

lrother twice under the arm, presuma-
by with penknite.
He then went into the house, took
some money. his wife's gold watch and
some blankets and left. The wounded

HAVE We SCHOOL DISTRICT?
A special meeting OF the board of
school trustees was held in A. r. Met
Calls Office this afternoon, to hear his
opinion ON the perplexing school dis
trict question, which Ia agtatirg the
community. Mr.. Mstcaifs opinion,
which goes into full details, covers over
10 pages of closely .typewritten sheets,
and is very exhaustive. Briefly stated,
he holds that the name Pasadena City
school Ilntrict is a legally organized
school district, but that the recent issue
of bonds, owing to errors, is not o valid
one. After reciting the early history OF

Metcalf says: l am satisfied that the

adopted April 80. authorizing the calling
OF the election to vote upon the question
OF the issuance of the bonds, was not
prepared and adopted with the formality
required in proceedings OF this character. |
