the frightened horses broke loose from

nue., south to Bellevue, east to Marengo
and down Marengo nearly to the Ray
mond station, where men were digging
q we'll for the Oak Knoll ranch. Here
Herbert Mosher and Herbert Houk, see-
ing the horses nearly exhausted after
their mad flight of about two miles. ran
out and stopped them. In doing so,

HOLLOWEEN TRICKS
That Pasadena has a law abiding
class Of boys was demonstrated last
night. The boys enjoyed Halloween,
but they did no serious damage to prop
erty. Many 1aughable tricks were dis
covered this morning. On the corner
of Los Robles avenue and Colorado
street, where the electric double track
is in course of construction. monument
Of ties about twenty feet high, with a
lantern on the top, was discovered. A
squad Of men had to be sent out by the
company to undo the boys work. In

Somebody got one Of the real estate

One member of the party had been
visiting with two young ladies across the
street. when he saw the boys about the
car. He went over just in time to be-

feminine friends mourned his company
the rest of the evening. Down on South

let down into the street by means of a

BREvITIES
Attorney Bacon Of Los Angeles has
interested himself in Carl Ewing, the
16-year- boy who was arrested the
other night by Marshal Lacey for va
grancy and also upon suspicion of at
tempting the burglary Of Boutelle u
Herdeg's hardware store. George Will
liams was arrested at the same time.
and both men were given long sentences
in the county pail by Recorder Rossiter.
Attorney Bacon knows Ewing's parents
and thinks the young man told the truth
when he said that he had not been with
Williams and his pal until that after
noon when he came across them on the
train. Ewing did not tell very straight
forward story at his examination. This
was because, he says. he had been con-
fined at the lone reform school and
thought the knowledge Of this would
cause the Justice to make his sentence
harder. Ewing. as the young man calls
himself, though that Is not his true
name, says he was trying to keep
straight at the time Of his arrest and was
looking for work.
Superintendent Of Streets Buchanan
and assistants found it necessary yes
terday to dig down to the sewer on South
Los Robles avenue in several places-to
remove several bricks which had OBJ
etructed the water course. A set of
false teeth was found yesterday in the
sewer and await the owner.
