been denied a certificate on lines that
were of no use to her in her work, and
she has gone to San Bernardino to pro-
cure certificate, at the suggestion of
those who refused her certificate here.
To make assurance douby sure she took
Miss Emily Hawkins with her, and after
receiving their numbers the two changed
them, and while Miss Hawkins, who holds
a grammar grade certificate here, passed
in excellent papers on Mrs. Woods num-
Der and secured certificate, the latter
failed Oh her own account.
An inkling Of the trick being played
reached here and correspondence revealed
the whole plot. In consequence both were
summoned before the board Of education
Of the county, when Miss Hawkins con-
fessed the whole story and asked to have
her certificates Cancelled, which was grant
ed, and her position in the Fourth

One Of the boldest roberies ever at
tempted in this city was the entering of
the loan Office of John w. Downs at noon
yesterday, while the proprietor was at
dinner. and the carrying off of several
hundred dollars worth Of watches and
jewelry. The place is a. small corner
Of the, warehouse of Wilcox & Rose COM
pany, on Third street, close to the side
walk, and the, door. to- the. room. is few
feet from the glass door of the warerooms
and in sight of the people who are passing
along the street at the time of the rob-
berry. The door to the room was locked
with a spring latch, and the robbers used
a chisel to pry the door open and having
once entered the room picked the Yale
paddock on the showcase and took from it
fourteen gold watches, thirty-six gold
rings and watch chains and brooches in
great number. Many of the articles were
valuable with diamond sets.
Permission was given w. ]. Cook, re-
ceiver Of the First ..ational bank, to sell
