PASADENA

PASADENA, April 2S.-(Regular Cor
sespondence.) The fire department was
called out at about 2:30 this morning in
answer to an alarm turned in on the
corner of Fair Oaks avenue and Union
street. The fire was in heap of rubbish
near the Wakeley novelty works on
North Fair Cakes avenue. Mr.. Wakeley
was in the habit of burning refuse
chips and shavings from his lathes here,
and a pile of such stuff somehow got ig-
nited. The flames were seen by c. Z.
REYNOLDS across the street and by an
other neighbor The department was on
hand in good season and the bucket brl-
eade put the fire out. The windstorm
had begun at the time and but for prompt
action bad fire might have resulted.
THE NORTHER
Some small damage was done last
night and this morning by the heavy
Santa Ana northeaster, which began to
rage about midnight. During the early
morning hours and until about IL o'clock
street perambulation was fraught with
much inconvenience on account of the
dust which was whirled about at lively
rate. A number of signs were blown
down, and one in falling narrowly es-
capped injuring some passers by. The
storm coming at this time was greatly
regretted on account of the Fiesta, and
especially by the Americus boys and
others from Pasadena who intended TAX
ing part in the floral parade. However,
at noon the wind abated and the after
noon was calm and pleasant.
