THE CHINESE DRAGON
Arrangements Being Hede for Its Transpor
tation to This City

Arrangements Being 1sde for Its Transpor
tation to This City
Yesterday two Chinese merchants started
for Marysville to make all the necessary
arrangements for the transportation of the
dragon to this city. The Immense mon.
ster is a marvel of mechanism and is di'
vided into a number of sections. These
different parts are SO carefully constructed
that when they are placed together no evi
dence OF the fastening can be detected.
The knowledge that the dragon will be
exhibited in the parade has excited consid.
cradle attention and surprise. The facl
that this monster, bede cked with the cost.
liest velvets. satins, gold and jewels, can
be seen on very rare occasions, even in
China, will certainly form one of the
strangest and most important sights in the
streets of Los Angeles. This feature OF
the parade will insure the attendance of a
very large number of strangers and it will
he one of the greatest novelties in the
Fiesta.
The executive committee is in no small
degree under obligations to Mr.. w. j. Bar
dered in procuring the dragon. His intiu'
ence with the Chinese merchants in San
Francisco contributed greatly in obtaining
this great attraction to the Fiesta.
President Francis has received a letter
from the chamber of commerce of Seattle
stating that many members and promi.
nent people would leave that city in few
days to be present at the carnival.
Tomorrow the executive committee ex-
poets to be able to announce the dates and
places for the sale OF the seats at the
tribunes for the differe mt events, together
with the prices.

Mickey Doolan, alias Richard Welsh,
appeared before Justice Morrison yester.
day for sentence. Doolan begged Of q
Chinaman on Alameda street, the other
evening, and when the heather refused to
dig up Doolan proceeded TO smash him.
while on his way to the station in the wag-
on Doolan felt SO good that he persisted in
singing, and even after several days in Jail
his vocal cords had lost none of their abil-
ity. This was what he told the Judge, and
when the latter told him to stand up for
sentence Doolan got thirty days on the
chain-gang straight. He remarked that he
had composed new song called by his
cognomen mickey Doolan,' and would
be pleased to render it for the edification
of the court. Without waiting for an invi.
tation he commenced to warble.
Judge Morrison stood it for few sec.
onds and then ordered the singer to cease.
Doolan was told that if he (the judRe) had
known what was going to be inflicted on
him he would have doubled the sentence,
This did not bother Mickey, and he again
tuned up. He succeeded in getting rid OF
one verse before he could be started down
stairs. All the way through both court
rooms the dulcet strains Of the plaintive
melody, "Mickey Doolsn," could be heard
until with bang the door leading to the
Jail shut, and at the same time Duolan was
shut off.

POMONA
A Faith Curist Held to Answer for Criminal
Neglect


Neglect
POMONA, CAL. April 5.-In the coroner'G
inquiry into and investigation into the
death of the four-and-a half-year-old boy
of j. E. Ulber which occurred in this city
on Friday, held last night, it was ascer.
tanned that the child died from diphtheria,
and that the parents. who claim to believe
in prayer cure, etc.. would call in no ply.
sician nor anyone else to aid in relieving
the child. The father was held to answer
upon the charge of criminal neglect of the
child and criminally endangering his
neighbors.
1t is said that the father claims to have
the right to decide upon the treatment and
that no law can interfere; that he has SC
believed for years; has had two or three
wives, and has lost but three or four of his
household, and that it was not for the want
of sufficient means to engage a physician,
This community expresses much sym.
pathy with the family in the sad, acci-
dental death of Albert Bruer, especially
for the poor brother who happened to hold
the gun which inflicted the fatal wound.
The two street takers, j. r. Rice and j.
]. McCaffrey, who each lay claim to the
original cowboy preacher, have left this
community about as undecided as in the
beginning, as to which is which and who is
who. Both draw in more or less small
change, however, from the dear public.
The principal churches of this place were
crowded to overfowing at the forenoon
services. The music and decorations were
splendid.
Next Thursday evening is the date for the
annual reception of the fruit and flower
mission girls in the parlors of the Hotel
Polomares. They expect all their friends.
