THE RUBENS ROBBERY
TWO MORE INDICTMENTS RE-
TURNED BY THE GRAND JURY.
Another Batch Of Real Estate Men
Charged with Obtaining $1,000
by the Bogus Mortgage
Trick.

The grand jury came into court yes
terday morning and returned two more
indictments. Judge Smith fixed the
bonds at $4,000 each.
The inquisitorial body has been grind
ing out so many indictments recently
that it has made much work for Clerk
Forester and the sheriff % office, so that
they hear with feelings of exhaustion
the announcement that they are ready
to report.
1t WAS with considerable difficulty
that information as to the nature OF the
fresh indictments could be obtained.
During the afternoon, however, A. J.
Mead voluntarily came into the court
room OF department one to give bond
under the new indictments, when the
facts were partially disclosed.
While the indictments are two in
number, they embrace Eve persons.
But as two of the persons in one of the
indictments are also in the other, the
indictments embrace three names in one
and four in the other.
A. ]. Mead is in both of the indict-
ments. They are for the game kind OF
otfenses as those rendered the day be-
lore, obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. Only in the indictments re-
turned yesterday the transaction is
different and the parties different, it is
said. with the exception of Mead.
The transaction, however, was with
Mrs. Rubene, and it is alleged that in
this affair they succeeded in borrowing
$l2OO from her on some worthless land
near Riverside. The plan followed was
the same as In the $500 transaction be-
fore that. Mrs. Rubens claimed they
represented they owned the land, when
they did not. That they gave a mort
gage on the land and the same day
bought it for a small sum, realizing the
difference.
In this case Mead partially gave his
bond, 1t being reduced to $1,000 in one
indictment. That. with $4,000 in the
other, made it $4,000. A Mrs. O. K.
Hubbs went on his bond for $4,000. Not
being able to finish the bond last even
ing, Mr.. Mead was turned over to the
custody of the sheriff. q
The names of the other four men in
dicted with Mr.. Mead were withheld, as
they have not yet been apprehended.
ID. N. Mcdonald, indicted with Mead
and Hudson, Monday, upon a previous
transaction with Mrs. Rubens, was re-
leased under bonds OF $4,000. his sureties
being his mother, Mrs. NJ. @. A. Med.
Spencer. and his sister, Miss Frances
Mcdonald. 1t is understood that he
was the attorney who drew up the papers
for Mead and Hudson in tho case, and
afterwards told Mrs. Rubens he would
foreclose the mortgage drawn by him
for Mead and Hudson, his clients.
One laughable incident occurred yes
terday when a we'll known attorney tel
ephoned to the court house, saying that
if he was indicted he would be in bis
office if wanted. He had not been in
dictsd at all.

but only can the red brother be obtained
by promise of good care and being kept
from the demoralizing influences of the
city. Indian Agent Francisco Estudillo
of Cotton has written Mr.. Harrison
Fuller of Azusa that he will furnish them
only on orders from the war department
at Washington and on the guarantee
that they will be we'll cared for and kept
from using liquor. Mr.. Fuller is an In
dian agent of years. experience in Idaho
andsMontana, and has pledged himself
personally to take charge OF the Indians.
He says there is no doubt that the influ-
eEce brought to bear at Washington will
get the requisition for them.
Moreover, the noble red men must
have q special invitation from the mayor
the "father" of the town-beiore thev
will condescend to consent to come.
Mr.. Fuller is going to array them in
war paint and wild costumes, of which
he has large collection, made during
his northwestern agency experience.
Mr.. Fuller has also volunteered to fur
nish and feed Ia burros which will be
used to accompany the mining float.
They will be packed 80 naturally as to

The fame of the coming carnival is
spreading beyond the borders OF Cali

Offices and other prominent places.
The wholesale and retail merchants
are using in their correspondence
thousands of the pretty little illustrated
folders got up for the purpose of being
enclosed in letters.
Professor Wilhartitz has composed
the fiesta march, which will be played
by all the bands in the opening parade.
A limited number of invitations,
printed in bronze, are being sent to peo-
pie in official positions. The social
committee, OF which Mr.. Frank Thomas
is chairman, would like to send them to
all wishing to attend the ball. but this
is hardly possible, as it is difficult to
prepare a complete list.
1t is requested that all wishing them
should communicate with Mr.. Thomas.
In order to exclude Objectionable char
acters tickets will be sold only to hold

There has never been an hour when
the Democratic party in congress has
not been with us in the Chinese legisla-

never been an hour when the majority
of the Republican party in congress has

difficulty consists not in knowledge of
the truth, but in the indisposition to
express it.
II venture to suggest that the Repub-

too friendly to China, but il there is any
such opposition it will be made upon

There were no new developments g
yesterday in the case OF AlvH Johnson
and George Smith, arrested by Consta-
BILE Rogers on charge of robbing the
Southern Pacific train at Roscoe, Fob
ruary 18th. There will probably be no
further evidence made public until the
examination in Justice Bsrtholomew's
court next Friday.
Constable Rogers is working hard on
the case, snd has succeeded in obtaining
8 strong train of circumstantial evidence
against the men.
On the other hand there is strong
belief that the men are innocent. Mr..
d. X. Trask, attorney for Mr.. Johnson,
stated yesterday that the defense would
probably be to prove an alibi.
