Some of the Business That is to Be
Transacted.
The Ordinance for the improvement Of nain
Street.-The Team Report and Oil Re-
fineries-Other Contemplated Work

The city council will, in regular weekly
session today, vote upon the new street.
sweeping contract last week awarded to
William Budinger. The final ordinance
for the improvement of Main street from
Ninth to Thirty-fifth is to be placed upon
its passage and the bids ordering the work
to be done are to be advert ised.
The board of public works will, today,
present the report upon the team inquiry
in the street and park departments order
ed by the council two weeks ago. Joseph
Carroll, the recalcitrant witness so much
wanted, has not yet been found, and the re-
port of the board will be that without his
evidence the inquiry could not have been
and was not complete. he rest of the re-
port will simply be a submission of the tes-
timony taken during the various hearings
of the matter.
The oil refineries will have another over
hauling today, the result of a recommend
alton from the board of public works that
an ordinance excluding such establish
ments from inside the city limits be
drafted and adopted.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL HOLDUP
Two Men Follow a Chinamau Saturday
Evening
One Levcied Pistol and Ordered Him to Stop,
But the chinaman nanaged to
Escape from Them

Footpads are still at work and made an
unsuccessful attempt Saturday evening to
hold up Chinaman who peddles vegeta-
bles. The man Wong Gay had sold near
ly all of his wares and was returning TO his
home, about four miles south of the city.
As he drove down Figueroa street two
men seated in a cart turned in from Twen-
ty-tifth street and began trailing him. AT
first he did not think anything was wrong,
for 1t is common occurrence for one
team to follow another, but as they made
no attempt to drive past him or turn down
any other street the Chinaman's fears be-
came aroused and he tried to get away. He
whipped up his horse into lively trot and
turning saw the men do the same with
theirs. All of the time they had kept
about fifteen feet behind him. When he
slowed up so did they.
This continued until short distance
from the railroad track and then the in
tentions of his pursuers were made known.
The taller jumped out of The cart and run
ming toward Wong Gay called: Hold up;
l want to talk to you minute"
II no got time" replied Wong and began
to urge his horse on.
IF you don't stop / will shoot YOU"
yelled the running man, at the same time

pointing it at the head of the Chinaman.
The man in the cart also drove rapidly. in
tending no doubt. to help his partner bring
the vegetable pedIar to terms.
If John had had any intentions before of
stopping and holding conversation with the
men. the sight of the pistol caused him to
alb .ndon it entirely, for with all his might
he struck the horse with his whip and then
jumped down under the seat as the animal
started to run across the track by the
race course. The man tiourished the re-
volver and ordered the Chinaman
to stop. but after running a
few PAGES gave it up as bad job and
waited for his companion and the cart.
he got in and they drove hurriedy down
the track toward University station.
Wong Gay waited until he thought the
coast was clear and drove back to the city
by way of Main street. This occurred
about $50 o'clock. He went to the police
station where he reported the affair to the
detectives. He appears to be very intelli
gent fellow. He said that one of the men
was about As years of age and the other
considerably younger. the man who ran
after him being the older.

The excellence of the Southern Cali
fornia orange has again been demon
strated. In the contest at the Atlanta
exposition, our citrus product scores
once more by carrying away the
gold medal which constitutes the first
premium for exhibits of the kind.
This victory of our fruit is all the more
significant, because it is won in ter
ritory that, to say the least. is not
friendly to the output of California,
being virtually Florida ground The
particular display that is to be credited
with the winning comes from one of
the model orchards of Highlands, and
splendidly testifies to the capabilities
of this comparatively new colony.
The orange of this section is rapidly
attaining the recognition which its
merits entitle it to.
