HASKIN IN JAIL
Fred r. Haskin, who was taken to the
county Jail last evening by Officer Slater,
is still there. Ola Fischer, the young wo-
man with whom he is charged with COM
mitting adultery, visited him today. She
first came to the recorders office to learn
where Haskin was. While here she gave
out the details of the spree which landed
Haskin In Jail. According to her story
Haskin took the Keeley treatment two
years ago and did not drink again until
after the adultery examination. At
o'clock Monday night his liquor gave out
and he hitched up the trap at the Sierra
Madre hotel and he and Ola drove to La
manda, where they procured whisky at the
| saloon. At Arcadia. on the way back to
Sierra Madre, they drove over bank and
smashed the trap. Two men in cart
| helped them after Ola had offered her ring
for the service. The men were j. P. Vos-
burgh, transient, and a colored hired
man of the Stedman ranch. The three men
were of kind, and, arriving at Sierra
Madre, began the celebration which caused
the trouble.
Constable Slater arrested the colored
man. Henry Murray and J. P. Vosburgh
this morning. Murray pleaded not guilty
to the charge Of disturbing the peace, and
put up SIS cash bail for his appearance at
an examination. the date of which will be
set on Friday. J. P. Vosburgh appeared
before the recorder late this afternoon and
pleaded guilty. He was released on his
own recognzance, and will be dealt with
after the result of Haskin's and Murray's
cases is determined.
The report that the vosburgh concerned
was Will Vosburgh is in correct and does
that young man an injustice. Will Vos.
burg is the son of ]. o. Vosburg of La
manda Park, and was not connected in any
way with the affair.
