PASADENA
PASADENA, Nov. 2.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) South Pasadena was
given a dose of Hasldn notoriety today
Fred r. Haskin is the young Sierra Ma
Dire hotel proprietor who committed
adultery with Olo Fisher Of Los Angeles
and got drunk and disturbed the peace
OF the little mountain town during the
interval while he was awaiting trial for
the first offense. This occurred on Sep
tember Z. Haskin was driving home
with Ola Fisher. They were both drunk.
Their wagon broke and Murray and J.
S. Vosburg, the former a colored man,
helped the couple to Haskins hotel.
The four had more wine and did some
shouting and shooting. The elder Has
lin, who is a feeble old gentleman, had
bis son arrested for disturbing the
peace. Before the case came to trial
dhe father tried to withdraw his COM
plant. Haskin was tried, however, and
the jury disagreed. This trial was be-
fore Justice Rossiter. Haskin, through
his attorneys, Hester & Ladd, secured n
change of venue to Justice Gleason's
court in South Pasadena. The greater
part of the town turned out this morn
ing to hear the case. A jury was soon
secured. District Attorney Williams
looked after the prosecution and the de-
fendant had his former attorneys, Hes
ter & Ladd. Practically the same
ground was gone over as at the former
trial. The elder Haskin maintained that
his son did not disturb the peace at all,
and that he wished the complaint had
never been sworn out. Constable Slater,
who made the arrest, and Murray and
Vosburgh, the other members of the
hilarious party that night at the hotel,
contradicted the old gentleman. The
case was given to the jury at about Ais
o'clock and they returned a verdict of
guilty as charged, about one hour later.
1t is the general sentiment that Haskin
should get a severe sentence. At the
former trial, there being no prosecuting
attorney, he escaped. Vosburgh and
Murray pleaded guilty to disturbing the
peace at the time and paid their fines.
BOARD OF TRADE
The directors Of the board of trade
held a meeting this morning in the board
of trade rooms. The question of SUBJ

that the subscription would pay for 5000
copies of the pamphlet for the board, a
majority of the members did not seem in
favor of expending the $10O. The meet
ing was adjourned until 5 o'clock this
evening, but still no conclusion was

discussed. 1t was decided to send the
