respondence.) Attachment papers served
on E. ]. Baxter. late advertising man
arer for the Pasadena News, just as he
was about boarding the overland train
for the east this moring, make the sub
ject of an article in this paper this even
ing. which must have been rather hasti-
ly written. 1t does an injustice to the
Justice of the peace who issued the writ
of attachment. severely criticising him
for simply ac.ns h!s duty. An affidavit
was sworn to in the regular manner, was
accompanied by a bond, and Justice
Merriam could not do otherwise than
Issue the writ. E. o. Arnold, who swore
to the complaint as agent of Mrs.
Knox, the owner of the house, says that
his client, seeing dealer in second
hand goods at the house and the goods
afterward removed, while no arrange
ment had been made with her about pay
ing the rent, thought she had sufficient
grounds for the complaint. On the 9TH
er hand, Mr.. Baxter's friends say he had
left the money with his wife to pay the
rent It was for the month ending April
1S and amounted to $1S. Mr.. Baxter paid
up and left on the train, as he had
planned. but the News characterizes the
whole proceeding as an outrage and
scores the Justice, the constable, Sam
Walli and the agent Of Mrs. Knox, e. o.
Arnold. indiscriminately.
