THE GOULD CANARD
The romantic story of the abandonment
of the Gould castle in La Crescenta proves
to he q canard launched forth by neigh
hors who mistook the situation. The truth
Of the matter Is that Mr.. and Mrsl Il. II.
Gould left the place about two months ago.
supposing that they had secured perma-
nent renter In the person OF a Mr.. Hicks
OF the east. Mr., Hicks moved out, how
ever, sooner than was expected Mr.. Gould
then placed Mexican neighbor named
Verdugo in charge. While verdugo was
back in the hills cutting wood 1t is sup
posed, some party broke window and en-
tering stole about SO worth Of knives and
forks and carved ornament which was
cut from over a fireplace. Mr.. Gould has
been In Los Angeles all the time. He has
an office in which he transacts business

EMPTY BURGLARY
An unknown party burglariously en-
tered small building in the rear of Harri-
son b. Mohn's place near the corner OF
ktrkwood avenue and Dakota street last
night Mr., Mohn. who is a carpenter,
keeps his tools in this building. The build
ing was protected by a large time lock
which the burglar, finding that he could
not negotiate. filed loose from the door,
This morning Mr.. Mohn found the lock on
the ground near by. Inside the tools were
spread about the place promiscuously. hut
nothing was taken. From the manner in
which articles were strewn about the work
would seem to have been a mischievous
boys trick. though the motive for the mis-
chief is not plain. Mr.. Mohn's house was
entered by a burglar about two or three
weeks ago. Nothing was taken at that
time Miss Mohn happening to enter in time
to frighten the man away.
