TOOK HIS PARTNERS MONEY
And Then Was Arrested on Charge
of Grand Larceny

Detective Goodwin arrested Edwin
Atlee, who has been stopping at the Voss
house, on West First street, yesterday
on a charge of grand larceny. About
eight months ago Atlee came here from
the east and started into business, buying
old gold. He took a partner into his
business named Anderson. Trade has
been dull Of late, and Atlee decided to
turn a trick which would bring him in a
little ready cash.
He represented to Anderson that he
had found a place where about hun
dred dollars could be very profitably in
vested. Anderson had implicit conf
dence in his partners judgment and
readily furnished the necessary capital.
With this in his pocket Atlee forgot all
about the investment, which he had
described in glowing language.
Anderson began to get uneasy about
the money which he had given up so
easily, and inquiredwhy the investment
had not been made. He did not receive
satisfactory answers to his questions
and from certain observations which
he made concluded that Atlee was get
ting ready to leave town.
Resting under this conviction he came
to the police station yesterday morning
and swore out a complaint for his ar
rest on a charge of grand larceny. The
warrant was placed in the hands of De-
tective Goodman, who found the man at
his lodging house.

WAVE MOTOR POWER
Work Will Begin on a Plant Next
Monday

Arrangements have now been COM
pleted by which it is assured that the
new wave motor which has been aei-
tated so long will be put to a practical
use in generating power. The deal was
closed on last Saturday and the money
necessary for carrying out the plans of
the projectors has all been paid in. The
matter was brought to a successful issue
through the agency Of Mrs. Juana A..
Neal, who has taken hold of the matter
during the past two weeks, and who is
we'll known through her connection with
many Of the large enterprises in this
city.
The work will be conducted under the
direction of Parvin Wright, theinventor
of the wave motor. The present pier.
which was erected four miles north of
Redondo for experimental purposes. will
be extended several hundred feet out
into the ocean so as to obtain the best
wave motion, and will become part of
a permanent plant. The materials to be
used in the extension Of the pier have
already been purchased in this CITY and
work will be commenced next Monday.

There were others who saw the fight,
