The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1895-12-01

change hands in the INN Cd ate future,
il may bs set down as certain that the
Santa Fe people will be some place in the
deal. That company wants an arrange
ment which will place 1T on equal footing
| with the Southern Pacific for downtown
business, and that can be done by some
means of RAPID transit which may be
, given free to passengers going to or COM
ing from the depot.
Representations OF the Southern CalifOr-
mia line tried to come to terms with the
street car people by which more horse
cars would be pu. on and make all in
coming and outgoing trains, and by
coupon system passengers from trains
would ride free. But no satisfactory ar
Iangement could be arrived at
II the Santa Fe people or anybody else
would take the street railroad, and make
an electric line of it, and guarantee good
service, they could get in very cheaply.
Ono of the stockhoder, said this morning
that he would transfer his stock free on
such basis. He is property owner
along the line. and knows that she values
would bs improved by such an arrange
ment.
In the IN eantime, with so many things
brewing. it would seem that something
ought to develop but as yet nothing is
definite.
The transfer of the Arrowhead and
Waterman railroad to o. II. Kohl and
other as was completed today. The new
company organized by electing y. ii.
Kohl president, Walter Kohl vice-presi-
dent, and John Anderson secretary. Ken
resentatives OF the new company are tax
ing steps to put the road bed and rolling
stock in firsJ-class condition.
The purchase of the Cotton motor road
by the Southern Pacific. thus securing.
close connection with the business part OF
the CITY, has caused the Santa Fe railroad
to exert itself to hold its share of bust
ness. TheSanta Fe is now negotiating
to have the street car limo connecting with
i,s depot run by electricity instead OF
horse power.
AFTER MANY DAYS.
Thomas Baker was arrested yesterd ay
evening by Deputy Sheriff Whaley on a
warrant charging him with highway rob-
berry committed in May, 1894. At that
time James Leary was attacked one even
ing on G street, severely beaten and
robbed.
James Shaw and Baker were both ar
rested at the time and the former was
charged with the crime and su bsequently
convicted and sentenced to serve SIX years
in the penItentiary. BAKER was detained
as a witness and compelled to take the
stand for the prosecution, but very little
developed IN his testimony. At that time
the district attorney was satisfied that
Baker knew more of the robbery than ap-
peared on the surface, but there was not
sufficient evidence to convict and no
charge was placed against him.
Subsequently, however. new evidence
developed, and when Baker appeared
about town a few days ago a warrant was
issued and the arrest was made yester-
day.

tanned the position recently taken by
District Attorney Daley with reference to
the payment of the cost OF transportation
of prisoners to Whittier. Mr.. Daley ruled
| tnat such bills should be sent tC the state
| board of examiners, and not presented
| to the county, as had bean the custom
| during the term of many boards of super
| visors, and the ruling is likely to save
several dollars to the county.
