Social and Personal Notes

PASADENA, March 24.-Petty thefts have
been very numerous in Pasadena of late,
and apparently most of them are commit
ted by boys, the number of tough young
sters seeming to be on the increase. Some
days ago ]. n. Lancaster, the candy man,
arranged neat little trap to catch the
boys who were stealing from in front of
his store, with the result that in very
short time the bell was rung by the theft
of candy with string to it, and the
guilty boy promptly took to his heels with
Lancaster in full pursuit. He was let off
after being caught, though he manifested
not the least repentance for his act.
The officers are on the track of num-
ber of boys who they believe we're respon-
sible for a number of burglaries Saturday
night. A quantity of tobacco, cigars and
chewing gum was taken from the stand OF
!. H. Michener, Will Barto lost set Of
harness, as did j. p. Reasoner; Samuel
Allen missed a pair of painters ladders;
Contractor Klock lost twenty chickens,
and Mr.. Fessler and neighbors we're robbed
of harness, garden hose and other articles.
