Burglargs got into r.. j. Mason's house,
on the corner of Raymond and Illinois
streets, this evening, aud had it not been
for the early return of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mason would have secured considerable
plumber. Fortunately they came home
about z o'clock, and after hitching the
horse went in at the front door, while,
judging from the appearance of things
when light was struck, the burglar had
just left by rear door. He left everything
in the greatest confusion in the room he
had visited, but fortunately had not yet
reached the room where the valuables we're
l.. 4. n Il
opened q trunk which belonged to Mrs.
Mason's father, Fl. P. HasKins, but it is
not thought that he secured much of value.
though Mr.. Haskins had some papers there
of value to himself. An ugly looking tramp
was about the place earlier in the day, and
Mrs. Mason says she could identify him at
once. Some very radical measures are
needful in dealing with the gentry that will
cause them to steer clear of Pasadena, and
the stone pile can come none too soon.
