HAPPENINGS HEREABOUTS
WOULD=BE RAVISHER CAUGHT
Young Trout for San BernardinO Streams
Coming
A Sneak Thief's Revenee-Coming Races at
Oarner's Track-Smashup at the
Santa Fe Yards

SAN BERNARDINO, July 25.-About
was made by Albert Downs. who is an
Old offender, having recently done time
for petty larceny. Downs rode wheel to
where several little girls wero playing
near the corner of Second street, and per-
suaded one of the children, little Annie
Benuinger, to ride with him. Placing
the little one before him he rode to the
corner of f and First streets, quiet
place. and taking the child in his arms
carried her to a thick portion of foliage
where he made the dastardly attem pit.
The child succeeded in breaking away
from his clutches and escaped home
where she told her parents the story.
Officer Connors was notified. Two hours
later Downs was arrested and identified
as the man wanted. He was at once
locked up and will be closely watched un,
til the date OF his hearing.
The secretary Of the state fisheries COM
mission has notified Port Master Boyd
that within week so, 00C young trout of
the rainbow variety will be forwarded to
San Bernardino. they will be taken by
local sportsmen and placed in the sur
rounding streams. This is the continual
tion OF work inaugurated last year by
several lovers OF the rod. The work re-
quired is very great as the fish are placed
near the headwaters of the mountain
streams IN almost inaccessible places, but
the reward will be received in future sport.
Rather bold but petty revenge was
taken by sneak theft at the residence of
Austin Chute, on Mount Vernon avenue,
last night in repayment OF frustrated
attempt at robbery Having been fright
ehed away early in the evening he evil
IDENTIFY came back during the night and
failing to make an entrance to the house
the second time deliberately hurled a
chair through the kitchen window and
before Mr.. Chute could reach the door
had made his escape.
Considerable timidity is being exhibit
ed among the sporting fraternity over the
coming races at Garner's track, owing
to the San JacinJo mare being entirely
unknown. 1t is remarked that there is
an abundance of San Jacinto money
is of course too speedy to lack hackers,
but all seem to be holding off until the
day of the races. Both horses are in star
condition and both owners are mum
as to their beliefs. The twelve mile relay
race is coming in for its share of interest
and several entries have already been
made. AS each contestant is allowed
four horses and required to make mile
changes the race will probably be an ex-
citing one.
Several cars were piled up and more or
less damaged last night in the Santa Fe
yarus and the occupants of caboose mar
rowly escaped serious injury. Switch
engine 500 backed down with considerable
speed into the rear end of q freight train
which was ready for departure over the
mountains and in less than an instant
the caboose was ground to kindllns wood,
the tank OF the engine battered into a
mass of crushed iton and the ends of two
freight cars smashed in. No one was in
the caboose at the time.

CONDUCTOR PARL|N'S WAYS
A Pasadena Man Suspected of
Being a Bigamist
COMPROMISING MIsslvEs
Now in the County Jail for Beating His
Better Half
Liquor Seller Will Appeal to the
Superior Court

PASADENA. July 25.-Last night F. f.
Parlin, a conductor on the electric road
was arrested on a warrant sworn to by
his wife. Rose Parlin, on the charge OF
battery. Parline was placed in Jail and
his case came up for examination this
morning before Recorder Rossiter at 10
o'clock. After thorough investiga
OF the case the court held Parlin for trial.
and in default of $500 bail, he was taken
to the county Jail to await trial on tn Q
morning of July 30th.
The offense sworn to by his wife was
committed in May, Oh which occasion
She alleges that he struck her and
handled her roughly. tearing her cloth
tng, etc. However, this is not the prin-
cipal offense with which Parlin will be
charged as soon as further evidence is
secured. of which the wife is so confident
that she wanted to swear out a complaint
at once charging him with bigamy. Yes
terday morning Mrs. Parlin found in her
husbands trunk a package of letters
from Oakland. addressing him my own
darling Frank" and closing II am your
own dear loving wife, Melta." In one
OF these letters he is reproached for hav-
ing written to someone so that it came to
married by contract. This, she says,
made hef parents very angry, and her
father said she must be crazy for doing
ouch thing, and ought to be in Stock
ton.
A little investigation showed that Par
lin sons months ago kent company in
Los Angeles with Miss Melta Behme of
Oakland. and it was generally supposed
that they were engaged. He was mar
ried to the Pasadena Mrs. Parlin in Los
Angeles April 4th, last. This morning a
message was sent TO the father of Miss
Melta Behme in Oakland, stating that
Parlin is held here to answer to a charge
OF battery. telling of his marriage IN Los
Angeles April 4th, and asking il he HAD
prior to that time been married to his
(Behmes) daughter. The answer to this
telegram will do much to clear up matters.
Other letters show that there were still
other entanglements. one of them being
with servant girl living in family on
Orange Grove avenue, whom he was try
ing to induce to promise that she
would marry MIN, if he would get di-
vorce from the present Mrs. Parlin. In
one OF her letters she asks If people will
not talk good deal if he gets divorce
wouldn't 1t be better to wait year after
the divorce is granted? She says she has
been considering his proposal and has
concluded that only under these condi-
tions can she consent to tho arrangement.
She asks. What did Mrs. Parlin say the
night OF the Fourth; did sne not think
you staid rather late?''
There are many letters which show that
tarlin's ways were not to be defined as
sne 'straighs and narrow" but were
quite Devious and that he had many

the kind of protection that protects.
The government in order to protect
its citizens against practices of this
kind requires that all imported goods
shall be plainly marked with the name
of the country from which it came.
But little sugar is sold in original
packages and the good effect Is lost. If
you buy bag of Chinese sugar you
will find in the middle of the bag the
words Hong Kong, provided your eye
sight is good and provided it has not
been marked over with a marking
brush.
A change will come about when
every customer asks what sugar he is
getting and insists ON getting his mon
ey's worth and lets the light in on this
secret merchandise.
There is spent for labor alone on the
Pacific coast $500, 600 annually by
American refneries. They buy Wash
ington coal, Oregon barrel stock, pa
per, ETC., and in a great many ways
the distribution of this vast sum of
money is of benefit to our communities.
The first question to ask oneself Isl:
What can / do to help my fellow man,
my fellow workman and the country in
which live? First, by knowing what
sugar you use yourself and secondly,
by seeing that you are supplied with
no other than the American made ar
ticle, made by American workmen, in
American clearly factories, operated by
American capital, paying American
wages, in good American coin, and
keeping that American money at home,
not sending it abroad to support the
corruption and corrupting influences
of nation stained with infamy, black
ened by disease, and odorized with the
death of its inhabitants.
We have here in our glorious state
of Washington and sister state of Ore
gon, as evidenced by the Exposition OF
the Manufacturers and Producers
Association, one of the greatest fields
of beets in this or any other country.
In rejecting the coolie made stuff call
ed sugar and buying only American
made goods, you are encouraging and
strengthening the hands of your neigh
Dor farmer, and building up an in
dustry which you will yourself share
and in time proudly realize the great
ness of the soil upon which we liv,
and which God has blessed with a spe
cial Providence as uncompassed on tbs
face of the globe.
