who died of pneumonia. February IS,
1894. aged one year, nine months and
twenty-five days, we can now but look
at the little new-made grave and
think:
Those loving lips are silent,
The gentle laugh is DER;
They have taken our dear Ora
And wen hear his voice no more. =
Just four days OF silent suffering,
Pains and aches his body bore;
Then the Angels took dear ora
To brighter. happier shore.
Now we're left so sad and lonely,
No dear orla now 10 love
ct we hope again to meet him
In the Golden streets above
Vain we question why It happened
How IL could be for she best;
Asking why those feet SO early
On the journey needed rest.
Yet Oh who would wish to cali him
From his home of light and love.
Who would ask that God should leave him
Here TO cheer US with his love.
Even with our love to guide him
In the path o6gaod and right;
Wonld he still have entered heaven
With soul SO pure aud white9

AN ASCENDING TREASURER
The Arrest of a Man Who En-
bezzIed $685.
A Warren County, Indiana, Official
in the Tolls.
Augustus Cronkhite Defautted with
County Funds, and After n Years
Liberty Is Arrested in
Los Angeles.

Augustus Cronkhite, who q year ago
absconded with sos 900 from Williams
port, Warren county. Indiana. was ar
rested in this city yesterday morning by
Detective Auble. He was county treas
urer of that county.
Cronkhits had always borne a good
reputation, and was twice elected
county treasurer. A year ago Indiana
was startled by the announcement that
Cronkhite had embezzled 5000 OF
Warren county funds and skipped. The
defalcation was teegrsphed all over the
country and every effort made to appre-
hend the fleeing defsulter.
No trace of him was secured until .
month ago, when Sheriff Ambrose
Moore OF Covington, Fountain county,
Ind, learned that man named j. J.
johnson, OF Chicago, brother-in-law of
Cronkhite, was exchanging letters be-
tween the defauter and his wife. By
this means it was discovered that Cronk-
hite was receiving his mail at the Los
Angeles postoffice under the name of J.
j. Alfraday.
With this information, Sheriff Moore
started Tor this city, arriving last Sun
day. de had a consultation with Chief
Glass, who detailed Detectives Auble,
Benson and Hawley on the case. The
detectives were furnished q good de-
scription OF the man wanted, and they
set out to find him.
Cronkhite was located at Gardena,
where he had purchased q ranch, and
WAS known aa Alfradav, No effort was
made to arrest him until yesterday
morning, when it WAS expected he would
come to the postoffice for his mail. De-
tective Auble was in waiting at the post
office, and upon seeing Cronkhite in
quire for mail and then leave, followed
him to Second street and placed him
under arrest.
Cronkhite was taken to the Office of
Chief Glass, where he admitted he was
the man wanted, and expressed q will
ingness to go back and face the music.
Alter leaving his Indiana home,
Cronkhite fed to Michigan, then to
this city, arriving two months ago. He
purchased property at Gardena and
placed 1t in mis- wife's name.
He says he was led to embezzle the
funds through wild real estate specula-
ton. and assigns no other cause for his
downfall. Oronkhite is about 30 years
of age.
Sheriff Moore will start back Tuesday
morning with his prisoner. having Sc
cured all necessary requisition papers.

A PICKPOCKET CAPTURED
AN ENGLISH THIEF CAUGHT BY
DETECTIVE HAWLEY.
Charles Wilson Robbed Mrs. Barker OF
San Diego at the Santa Fe
Depot, and Was Ar
rested.

Charles Wilson, a professional pick.
pocket, was caught in the act OF robbing
Mrs. Barker of San Diego at the Santa
Fe depot yesterday morning.
The affair happened just a few min
utes before the San Diego train pulled
out, at S:l5 o'clock. Mrs. Barker was
among the passengers, and just as she
was about to board the train she felt
some one take her pocketbook.
On turning around she saw the stolen
pocketbook in Wilson's hand. She gave
the alarm, when Wilson ran. Detective
Hawley caught sight of the fleeing pick
pocket, who dropped the pocketbook,
and chased him into the Richmond ho-
tel. He was found secreted in a closet,
when he was placed under arrest.
Wilson was recognized as belonging
to the gang of pickpocket operators of
which j. II. Anderson WAS q member.
Anderson is awaiting trial in the supe-
rior court. ard mis- pal, Wilson, will soon
join him.
The police are doing good Won in
breaking up the gangs of pickpockets
and confidence men who have come to
the coast from Chicago and the eastern
cities, and who have found business"
at the midwinter fair very dull.
