PASADENA

than her share Of neighborhood rows which
the courts are called upon to ventilate. This
time 1t grows out of the keeping of chick
ems without making proper provision for
restricting their wanderings to their own
er's premises and, while the careless own
er of the feathered bipeds is put to no in
convenience, two Of the neighbors are in
volved in an alteration due to the depre-
dations of the fowls. F. B. Surge, who
lives on South Moline avenue, has been
bothered great deal by the chickens be-
longing to a neighbor, a German woman,
and every attempt he makes at starting a
rose garden comes to naught. Yesterday,
becoming exasperated, he took shot at
them. soaring them off. without any loss
of life. But his shot passed alarmingly
near some children of D. ]. Houlahan. an
other neighbor. who were playing in their
own dooryard, which caused a visit from
Mr.. Houlahan when he returned home.
The neighbors got into wordy discussion
over the matter and Mr.. Surge swore out
a warrant charging Mr.. Houlahan with
disturbing the peace. The case will come
up for trial tomorrow at 10 o'clock before
Justice Merriam.
STRANGE TRADE
A queer case is that which has been
lately opened by a man in Bethany, Mo-,
through Attorney B. w. Hahn of this city,
1t seems that he wrote to a MIR. John A.
Nelson of Pasadena, an elderly man, ask
ing his his price for a certain piece Of
land at Bethany, to which Nelson replied
and received an offer of $1,000 and sent a
deed to the property. Nelson then in
vested the $1,000 in Southern California
property. Now comes letter to Attorney
Hahn saying the deed is worthless. for the
simple reason that the property never be-
longed to this Mr.. Nelson at ALL but to
another John A. Nelson. who also lives in
Los Angeles county. Mr.. Hahn was in
structed to get back the $1,000 If possible
John A. Nelson, formerly of Pasadena
says he had very little knowledge of his
Bethany. Mo-. property never having
seen It, and that he so stated In his first
letter regarding 1t, asking for an offer on
the same; that he was entirely innocent
Of any intention to defraud, and that he
will turn over the property he has to settle
the matter. Probably at least a part of the
money value can be recovered in this way.
