AN INTERESTING SLAB.
1t Marks the boundary Between
Mexico and the United states,

Mexico and the United States.
Under the direction of the boundary
survey commission the old marble
monument which, since 1S49, has marked
the dividing line between the United
States and Mexico at the coast has been
brought to the city to be dressed up.
For years that monument has been a
point OF interest, and has been visited
by thousands of citizens and strangers
Each has apparently felt that no one
would believe he or she had been there
II some portion of the slab were not
carried away to be offered in evidence
on all occasions, says the San Diego
Sun.
The result has been that the marble
has been clipped and defaced until its
original form is almost lost. 1t is be-
cause OF this that the slab was brought
to the city. To blot out the efface-
ments the surface would have to be
dressed the stone will again be placed in
position, but this time 1t will be protect
ed by a fence Of steel pickets. The In
closure will be twelve feet square. The
pickets will be eight feet high, the tops
sharply pointed and leaning inward,
that while 1t might be possible for an
active person to climb in, 1t would re-
qulre a first-class acrobat to climb out
over those curving pickets. Besides this,
a new law makes II a penal offense to
mutilate the monuments.
At Tia Juana n similar slab will be
erected on the Old brick foundation In
landmark there. The Tia Juana mon
ument will be OF granite instead of mar
BILE, and II will be inclosed with steel
pickets, like the one at the coast line.

HAD OVER 300 VICTIMS.
Swindling Gas Collector Larose
Held for Examination.

william F. Larose, Of Brooklyn, the
bogus gas collector, who succeeded in
fleeing a great number of victims on
the east side. was remanded by Justice
Koch in the Essex Market Court to-day
and taken to Police Headquarters to
have his photograph added to the
Rogues' Gallery.
His method of swindling the people
was to tell them that an error had been
made in the gas bill they received, and
that he would rec,Iy the mistake upon
getting the receipt. He would reduce
the bill about one-half OF the original
amount, collect the money, and then de-
part. The consumer would only learn
that he had been swindled when the
right collector called.
1t is said that he swindled over three
hundred victims. Gas Collector William
Walsh. of the Consolidated Gas-Light
Company caused Larose's arrest. and a
number OF bog is gas receipts were found
in his possession.
