PASADENA

PASADENA, April 1.-tfNeSuiat wi :
reepondence.) AS intimated in The Her
aid some days ago, the small amount of
bail required of William Thomas. the
keeper of the notorious dive on South
Fair Oaks avenue, made 1t somewhat Of
a temptation to that individual to depart
for pastures green before standing trial
upon the four complaints lodged against
him for selling liquor contrary to the
ordinance. He seems to have turned up
messing, and the place is locked up to-
day, being "closed for repairs" while
the new owners CD get ready to open up
again. George Metz is out in a card
stating that he will open the place about
the 10th of the month, and "couduct 1t as
a first-class house." 1t is to be hoped
that this is strictly true, for the place
has long been the most disreputable In
the town. 1t has always been rather ur-
certain who were the real owners of the
place at any given time. and 1t Is more
or less Of question today.
