The procession was headed by the Pasa-
dena band and moved on up to the taber-
nacle, where the exercises were presided
over by DR.. Conger and began with an
overture by Dmond's orchestra and prayer

solo; o L. Burns gave recitation; Kew

by the orchestra and recitation by Miss

A Rare Bird

The rarest species OF bird now ex-
tant, and one which is almost extinct,
has its home in the jnngles of South
America. This ornitholosicsl curiosity
is known to science as the palsmedra
cornuda, and to the common people as
ths "horned screamer" As rara avis
nothing could excel the cornuda, unless
it should be the accidental discovery
of q living moa or an epinornis. But
few of the bird books even let you
know that such horned paradox ever
existed, let alone telling you that living
specimens of the queer creature are
occasionally met with. The only one
now in captivity in North America, if
the writer was not misinformed, is that
belonging to the sviary of the Phila-
delphia geological gardens, and which
arrived in this country about three
years ago. The creature is about the
size of full-grown turkey hen, and of
blackish brown color One of its
distinguishing peculiarities 10 a ruffis
of black and white which surrounds
the head. ...

Alleged Cattle Thieves Caught-More Arrests
to be Hide
SANTA PAULA, Dec. 31.-For the past
year cattle thieves have been committing
depredations among the ranches in this,
Los Angeles county. Many hundred cattle
have been stolen and no trace of hide or
hoof discovered. Last night Cons able
McPyle of Fillmore and Deputy Sheriff
Linebarger arrested Pablo Dominguez and
Ramon Real at Piru, charging them with
cattle stealing. They were brought to
Ventura and this morning made full con-
fess on. They admit having stolen cattle
from the ranches of Chaffee Bros, Will
loughby & Edwards, Enicino rancho and
other we'll known cattle Inen. They con-
fess having sold the stolen cattle to John
Thomas at Piru. .Burson at Bardsdale. A. A.
Hanna at Santa Paula and Alexander
Bros. at Satic ". Five head of the stolen
cattle were found this morning in Beun-
sons corral and Hanna admits that he
purchased them from Dominguez and
Real, but claims that he purchased them
in good faith with no knowledge that they
were stolen. More arrests will follow.
The men are anxious to give up all they
know. This breaks up one of the largest
cattle thieving rings in the southern end of
the state. The cattlemen are aroused and
will emplov special counsel to aid the pros
ecution. The officers have a complete
chain of evidence with hides and branded
cattle.

CARRIED A BULLET IN HIS BRAIN.

The autopsy on the remains of Her.
mann Ploeschke, who died at the Ger
man hospital on Thursday, brought to
light the remarkable circumst tance
that he had lived for ten years with a
bullet in his brain. The ball was en-
cysted beneath the left temple, and ap-
peared to trouble Ploeschke very lit.
tie. Ploeschke was at one time sue
cessful business man, but ten years
ago became ill, neglected his business,
and becoming reduced in circum-
stances decided to commit sui
eide. He took 3S caliber re-
volver, placed it to his right
temple and fred. Ploeschke was un-
conscious for many days, and for weeks
he lowered between life and death.
The surgeons vainly probed for the
bullet. and it was supposed the missile
had detected downward, passing
through the neck and lodging in the
muscles of the shoulder. Pioeschke
finally recovered and was, apparently,
none the worse for his experience.
During the past three or four years
Ploeschke complained of neuralgia
pains on the left side of the head,
which some times became 80 sgoniziug Z
that he prayed for death to end bis
sutferings. He applied to the ply :
sicians, but none of them could afford
him relief. He told them bullet was
| in his brain, and that it felt st times as
| II some one we're sq1ef Zng his head in
wise. The doc ors laughed at bin,
and as Ploescbke numbered among his
many weaknesses an inordipate love
for strong stlmu ants, his story was a
! deemed a creation of diseased fancy
Some weeks ago Pioeschke became i'll
from an organic disease, and be was
; sent to the German hospital by some
friends. His disease had fatal termi
nation Thursday, and it WAS decided to
ascertain the course Of the bullet fired
into his skull ten years ago. Toe
brain was removed, aud over the ltf
temple cyst was found. This, on being
cut open, brought to light the bulle,
which Ploeschke had firmly maintained
pressed upon his brain. The ball OIL
entering the right temple passed
through the right eye, through the
upper nasal bones, theuce il plowed its
way beneath the left eye Here it was
def cted upward, locating above the
left temple. How Ploeschke ever sur
vived the wound is one of those my g
teries which defy the best efforts of th,
