DR.. Thomson was also present. The
object of the meeting was discussed
very fully but nothing was definitely
decided on. The board asked Dr. Thom-
son to withdraw his resignation-to give
definite answer "yes' or mo-" This
the pastor would not consent to do at
present, or until matters were further
discussed In regard to conditions which
will make him consider his stay at all

M, In the church, when the matter Of
DR.. Thomson's resignation would be
presented and decided. by the members
of the church.
DR.. Thomson was seen by Herald

said he was not aware just what action
the trustees had taken as he had left the
meeting at an early hour.
He did not feel that he was ready to
withdraw his resignation.
There are many drawbacks In Cali
fornia," said DR.. Thomson, "and my
wife and I do not feel settled. We left
our library in Boston and feel it's loss
sorely. The public library is of no use
to me. It has neither the philosophic.

The council chamber was packed with
spectators In anticipation of another
lively tilt between the representatives Of
the two railway companies, but those
who expected another war of words were
disappointed. City Attorney Arthur
stated at the opening Of the session
that the committee to whom-th matter
was referred wished to report that 1t had
been agreed between the railway COM
panies and the committee that the mat
ter be deferred for one week, and tn the
meantime the companies get together
and arrange everything so that it will be
satisfactory to all concerned. Mr.. Glib
bon. representing the Terminal COM
pany, said he believed that 1t was agreed
that no work should be done on dhe
street in the meantime. To this Mr..
Webster and General Sherman OF the
Pasadena and Pacific road said yes.
they would agree not to do any work at
the Terminal crossing.
Trustee Reynolds said the Pasadena
and Pacific company had taken violent
possession of the street, and he didn't
see what was to hinder them from going
on with 200 or 800 men and doing the
work on all the expired franchises. He
was not willing that the matter should
lay over for a week unless the resolution
which he had offered at the previous
meeting be acted upon. DR.. G. Roscoe

SAN BERNARDINO, March Dep
uty Sheriff Keyes arrived in the city to-
day, having in charge the two Mexicans
charged with the murder of the Indian,
John Moss, at Bagdad on Friday. The
man who is said to have done the killing
is Gregoria Rede, with a Mexican named
Juan. From what can be learned the
murder was cold-blooded and occurred
in the house of Mr. and Mrs. Francisco
Marcias. The deed was committed for
the sole purpose of robbery. After the
Mexicans left the saloon at Bagdad they
enticed the Indian to the house of Mar
cias on the pretext that he was to hear
some music, and there killed him. They
changed their clothes after committing
the crime, and tore up the flooring Of
the room and burned 1t. Mrs. Marcias
heard the blows struck and her hus-
band say: Don't strike him again."
After the killing they took on their shoes
and carried the body UP q wash and hid
1t under q sage bush. At first the Marcias
couple did not want to tell what they
knew, but when the officers told them
that there was no use of denial the wit
