stances upheld the dignity of his profess
sion and contributed not little to the
advancement of medical ethics and ed
ucation in Southern California; there
fore,

genuine sorrow in that the faculty has
lost an earnest worker; the profession
a man of highest ability and probity,

flicted family our heartfult sympathy.
Dr. Emil Arnold Praeger was native of

ton that arrangements had been completed
with the Los Angeles and Pasadena street

THIEVES CAPTURED
Despoilers of Hen Roosts and Other
Commodities in Jail

RIVERSIDE, March deputy Sheriff
A. G. Hull of Winchester made a very i'm
portant capture last Saturday in the per-
sons of W. a. Smith and Albert Carson, a
couple of peddlers who have been going
about that part of the country doing d
wholesale stealing business. The men
stole lot of chickens al San Jacinto one
day and the next day raided srainery be-
longing to a Winchester rancher from
which they took a large quantity of grain.
This they sold to a nearby store, and this
transaction led to their capture. For some
time past there has been lot of thieving
going on in that part of the county. and it
is thought that Smith and Carson are the
guilty parties in most cases, at least The
men claim to belong to Los Angeles. The
peddling they did is thought to have been
a blind TO enable them to escape suspicion.

connected with the faculty of the North

duet, and the Rev ]. w Balm, D. D.. added
a few words, in which he said that Daniel
