Mrs Deutch had arrived here, coming
from Chicago direct. upon funds fur
nished her by the kindhearted police of
the big city by Lake Michigan.
Then it developed that Deutch, being
out Of employment and disheartend. had,
without saying aught at home, come
surreptitiously to Los Angeles He left
behind him. besides his wife, two child
rem. Mrs. Deutch being at the time of her
husbands departure. confined with a
further increase in the family soon to ap-
pear. In this condition the distracted
wife was left. almost pennlless. The cou-
pie had always lived most happily togeth-
er and Mrs. Deutch could not for the life
of her imaigne what had become of her
husband. She reported his absence to the
Chicago police, and a letter from Deutch
to mutual friend at home several weeks
after he had disappeared disclosed his
whereabouts. In this communication the
husband said not word of his wife or
family.
Deutch. when he arrived here, had no
difficulty in securing employment with
Captain Cross on the Iona drive. Two
days before his wife arrived here he had
aagin disappeared. and his present where
abouts are as much of mystery as ever.
Mrs. Deutch has lost one child by death
since the disappearance OF her husband
from their home in Chicago, and the
one born Short time ago is cripple.
The little tot is here with her mother,
while the third child is very i'll in a
Chicago hospital.
The case is most peculiar one because
of the fact that Deutch has always born e
an excellent reputation. Mrs Deutch
does not believe that her husband has
permanently deserted his family and yet
she at is Il loss to account for his strange
conduct. When he left Chicago he in
formed her that he was going to New
York City to secure position.
Deutch is described as nve feet seven
inches in height, weighing $50 pounds
and being 81 years old. He has black
hair, brown eyes, a black moustache and
scar from cut upon one hand. He
speaks German, French and English
with tiuency.
Mrs. Deuuch is being partially supported

Some Valuable Suggestions for the Next
Fiesta With Eloquent Remarks
on Liberaity

Editor Herald The citizens of beauti.
full little Santa Cruz. with population
of only s0O0 have gone down into their
pockets to the tune of SIS 0oU to construct
a dam in the San Lorenzo river ana give
thereon Venetian water carnival that
shall outdo the clories of the fetes OF
Venice. Right here is suggestion and
an example for Los Angeles. First-Why
not. in 1896, dam our beautiful river at
Ninth street. and with its bed turned into
a magnificent lake of crystal mountain
water, give thereon an illuminated night
carnival and day regatta? Think OF the
magnificent possibilities Several of
Uncle Sans men OF war at San Pedro,
their officers. men and boats to take.part
in our regatta and enliven our Fiesta
ball. The secretary of the navy has or
dered two vessels to Santa Cruz. Why
not to Los Angeles? Santa Cruz will
spend $1,000 for pyrotechncs. Why should
not Los Angeles spend 500 for q grand
er display. But this brings up the ex-
ample part. Ii our city is to become IA
nous the world over for the magnitude
and grandeur of its Fiestas. we must put
n sticking plaster over the mouths of our
"kickers" and ''croakers are not
the men who contribute cent toward
our progress-and forever relegate them
to the background. Brave, generous little
Santa Cruz--let us send her big delega
tion on June 10th-sets us an example
worth following; SIS, 900 contributed in
one week. while our Merchants associa-
tion, with population of $4,000 to back
them. could collect only 500, 600.
Every fair-minded citizen knows that
it was case of making No. shoe fit
No. 10 foot-in other words, tnat every
dollar was made to do ~ worth of work,
and that it required ceaseless vigilance
part of our Merchants association to ac-
complish that end.
Let us uphold the hands of the men
who have done the Worthwhile we looked
on-and our Half Million club will
see their dreams realized before many
decades pass by.

COL. BRADBURY'S JOURNEY
He Must Go Around the World in
Ninety Days
Or Lose Some Wagers Which Report Puts at
$4,000, but Which He Holds Amount
to $3oo-Places He nust Visit

Colonel John Bradbury, Mrs. Brad bury
and the Misses Minnie and Louisa Brad
bury, will on the 25th take the steamer
City of Pekin on trip around the world,
to be completed in ninety days.
The trip is one for pleasure, but incl
dentally there is little matter of SIS, 900
involved: thai is. rumor puts it at SIS, 600,
though Colonel Bradbury when ques-
toned about it said that amount was far
from correct. but that tidy little sum
depended on the result. including a stiff
little wager with Colonel Peter Martin,
the typical gilded youth of Southern Cal
ifornia, young man who is sporty to his
hearts core and who would like to have
money to throw at the sea gulls at Santa
NJ onica.
OF course Phileas Fogg. Nellie Bly, and
Bessie Bisland made the little journey in
eighty days and less. but they were not
amiable young millonares, travelling
with three young ladies all eager to get
to Paris. and more than anxious to stay
as long as possible. Mr.. Worth is dead,
of course. but there are others. and Col.
Peter Martin holds that he is sure of win
ming the bet, for he is confident that his
old friend John will never be able to get
three young ladies out of the reach of
Felix. lie Bon Marche. and the rue de
Rivoi. in time to get back to Los Ange-
les and win that Sl5, 900 by walking into
the California club five seconds before
midnight OF the last day with the casual
remark of ''Gentemen. / VIM
The agreement is that Colonel Bradbury
must in ninety days from the 25th return
to this city after having visited the fol-
lowing places: Honolulu. Yokohama.
Nagasaki. Canton. Hong Kong, Singa .
