LOS ANGELES COUNTY
PASADENA

a. PASADENA, Nov. 23.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) Marshal Lacy and Police
men Pinkham and Bristol made haul
at the Klondike restaurant on South
Fair Oaks avenue this afternoon. Since
the establishment of the place about
three months ago by Mrs. Lucy Farrara
It has become notorious among a GER
tain class as a private drinking and
gambling joint. The marshal swore to
q complaint this afternoon and station
ing his two officers at the back door
walked in at the front door, nodding to
the frightened proprietor. and passing
through the dining room and kitchen
of the restaurant he raped on the panel
OF an inner door, in which small hole
had been cut and was screened by
slab. Evidently the bartender had no
inkling of the raid, for the door was
promptly opened and several men were
surprised in the act of drinking beer in
violation of the liquor ordinance. No
attempt to conceal the stuff was made,
so complete was the surprise. Marshal
Lacy called in Bristol and Pinkham and,
seizing the beer glasses, handed them to
his men. c. F. Rodney, the barkeeper,
was placed under arrest and the custom
ers' names were taken. In another inner
room there were eleven men, some of
whom were playing poker, and chips
were in evidence.
The players showed some surprise up
on looking up and beholding the majes-
tic presence Of the city marshal, who
politely permitted them to finish their
hands. The names Of evrybody In
To-, J<,;~r = iIa1,,
and two bottles of whisky, beer and wine
were secured. At about 5 o'clock Mrs.
Farrara and her bartender, c. F. Rod
ney, appeared before the recorded. The
woman pleaded guilty and was SEN
fenced to pay fine of $780, She said
she would have the money in the morn
ing and was released on bond. Rodney
was at first inclined to fight the case,
but his friends reminded him that he was
canght in the act. He pleaded guilty
and paid fine of s100.
Mrs. Farara, who, Judging from the
ease with which the raid was made, is
new in the business, remarked to the
effect that liquor selling in Pasadena
is losing game. She set up her bust
ness at the expense of $500 or $780, she
says, and has not made anything. She
will continue to run the restaurant, but
promises to sell no more liquor.
