1t was great day for Santa Monica yes

the day was something of siszer for Min

Sherman's march to the sea, which con-

march No. 2, occurring, when at $3.50 yes

special cars of the Pasadena and Pacific

yesterday was in charge of General NJ. s.
Sherman, he of the genial presence and
the cleaning eyes, with E. p. Clark the
manager of the road, acting as second in
the matter of arrangements. The start
was made from the Los Angeles terminal
of the company, on the corner of Fourth
street and Broadway.
Three cars made the trip. The first left
shortly after one o'clock, and carried men,
bers of the board of supervisors and other
county officials. On the second car were
members of the Chamber of Commerce
and prominent residents of Pasadena,
South Pasadena and GarvanZa.

Francisco Frasqueiio Accused Of Theft Com.
mltted at San Gabriel
Deputy Sheriff Wilson of San Gabriel at
3 o'clock last evening brought francisco
Frasquello to the county Jail from San
Gabriel, from which place he was sent to
await trial by the superior court on d
charge of highway robbery. Last Sunday
evening Dennis Mckinney. employed as q
gardener on the Baldwin ranch at Santa
Anita, was in a saloon at the old mission
engaged in shaking dice with Frasquello
and a companion named Canute Ramirez.
Late at night Mckinney, having several
drinks in him, il quired the road to Santa
While in the saloon Dennis had exhibited
some little money, which excited the Gu
pidity of Frasquello and Ramirez, and
shortly after his departure they also left.
Both men mounted a mule and started
after Mckinney. About mile out of
town they overlook him, when, it is al
legged, Frasquello jumped down and
knocked Mckinney over and robbed him
OF watch and chain and $50 in money.
Dennis was left lying alongside the road,
but recovered sufficiently to be able to
proceed homeward. Wilson had notice of
the robbery Monday morning, and the
same day captured them both. Ramirez
wanted TO turn states evidence, and did so
at the preliminary examination yesterday
at San Gabriel. Frasquillo was held to
answer under bonds in the sum of $1,000
for highway robbery. The same man
brutally cut another with rock some time
ago, but escaped through the failure of his

rash act remains enveloped in mystery.

working iii the bar attached to the United

fact that no one of that name was known
there, and no name spelled Delson is to be
found in the directory. Coroner Campbell
