required of him, he might as we'll take
leg bail and get out of the country. 1t
Will be RENE m bered that he was apprc-
hsndsd by the officers just at the time
when the evidence of his violation of the
Liquor ordinance was conclusive, since
there wero a number of patrons in the
back room at the time having their beer,
and little further search revealed the
presence OF two generous sized demljokns
of whisky. This was on Tuesday n orn-
ing. So far as can be learned he was
never arraigned, and the prospects are
that he will never be put to that trouble,
for when the marshal went around after
him Thursday he mad strangely ,dissp-
peared, and all last evening the create st
anxiety was manifested on the part of
the officers lest some unfortunate accident
had befallen him. Excited consultations
were carried on, officers were sent out.
and soon reports began to come in first
that he had been with his wife, (who
strangely enough had also dropped ont of
sight) found alive and well at San Ber-
nardino. Then this couple was discov-
cred to be the wrong one, and profuse
apologies were rendered necessary. By
morning they had him located in San
Diego, then again in Cotton, where. so the
tale runs, he was finally found. but like

from tramp's POCKET six months ago.
Pasadena is certainly having such
stirring up as she has not had for years.
The latest development is in the way OF
numerous complaints that are being made
out against the various restaurants and
drug stores of this temperance towh. 1t
was at first expected that part of them
would be made out and sworn to. and
the warrants served tonight. but as they
were not ready before the usual closing
time of the restaurants. it has been de-
ferred till morning. When the reporter
visited the recorders Office this evening
seven of the complaints were ready for
the complaining witnesses. who had not
vet sworn to them. These seven will
probably be served in the morning, and
there are said to be not less than twenty
places to be included in the general round
up, warrants for which will be issued as

Warrants have been issued for the first
seven or eight of the violaters of the
liquor ordinance, and of these four have
been already served and the parties
placed under arrest. They are ]. S. Rob-
inson of the Saddle Rock. restaurant, Wong
Sam of the Chicago cafe. Wong Sing and
Lung Wo of she Baker house. now called
the Commercial restaurant. At this
writing these parties are all in Jail,
though their friends are rustling for bail.
One of the Cinnamon at the old Baker
house showed fight when he was called
ON to accompany the officers, but he soon
concluded that discretion was the better
part of valor, and quietly went with the
officers to the Jail. It is understood that
the next on the programme will be two
OF the most prominent drug stores in
town. These will be served in the morn
ing, and also certain restaurant that
has an attractive back room. though 1t
must be confessed its attractiveness does
not consist in elaborate furniture, nor yet
in pictures or statuary. Tomorrow will,
no doubt. be busy day for the over
worked policeman, and large urm Der

Mrs. Apperson has been taken into GUS

hope that the magnetic attraction will be
sufficient to draw the wandering boy''
back to the arms awaiting him-the pc.

held as his accomplice on 500 bail.
