AscHNER AGAIN IN JAIL
The Tinhorn and His Colored Consort
Under Arrest

Morris Aschner and his notorious negro
consort, Ruth Bolinger, are In trouble again.
Yesterday afternoon the following telegram
was received at the police station:
OMAHA, Neb., June 21.-Chief of po-
lice, Los Angeles: have a man in jail,
named Morris Aschner. He came here
from your city with very light negro
woman named Ruth Bolinger of Ais
Ducommun street. Do you want either
of them, and what are they?
C. v. GALLAGHER, Chief of Police.
An answer was sent stating briefly that
Aschner was the mac Of the Boinger
female, and that he was notorious pool
sharp, gambler and all-round worthless fell
low. The Omaha authorities were also ad-
vised Of his recent arrest on the charge of
forgery, and subsequent escape on account
Of the prosecuting witness disappearing
What the pair have been arrested for in
Omaha is not known, but it is probable that
Aschner has attempted some of his bunco
tactics which got him into trouble here.
About the only thing necessary to say Of
the Bolinger woman is that she is worthy
consort of Aschner. The local authorities
do not wish either of the pair however,
and only hope that they may be kept in the
east.

NOT IN TOUCH
Country Schools Complain Of County
Board Of Education

Board OF Education
W. B. French, principal Of the South Pas
adena schools. appeared before the county
supervisors yesterday to make complaint
which. from the evidence produced, seemed
well-founded. The gist Of the matter was
that the county board of education, while
made up of gentlemen who are probably
sincere in their intentions, is composed of
men who are not in touch with the county
schools, and are therefore not able to judge
what is necessary or best for them.
As an instance of the wretched Judgment
sometimes used by the board with refer
ence to the schools of the rural districts,
Professor French presented list of, exam
ination questions sent out as those to be
used in examining 12-year-old students IN
the grammar course prescribed by the board
for this grade at the beginning of last term.
The questions covered a course, far in. ad-
vance of the one prescribed and were wholly
useless, because not one of the pupils had
any knowledge whatever of the subjects
about which they were questioned.
Professor French contended that every
member of the county board was taken from
the city schools, and that the trouble would
not be remedied until the board was, at
least in part, composed of country school
teachers. 1t is not improbable that the
supervisors will soon appoint a member
from the district represented by Mr.. French,
and it is possible that he will be the ap-
pontee.

A SPLINTER AND A FIGHTER
De Coursey Leads Officer German a
Merry Chase

Billy De Coursey, the prize fighter has
proved himself to be as good a sprinter as
he was a fighter, and it took the efforts of
Officer German, aided by two rigs, to cap
ture him.
Yesterday afternoon the officer saw De
Coursey, who was peddling potatoes talk
ing with young woman on Brooklyn ave-
nue.. The officer decided to arrest the man,
as he was confident De Coursey had no IL
cense to sell the vegetables. German
started toward De Coursey, but the instant
the latter saw him coming he jumped into
his wagon and lashed his horse into a run.
The animal sped down Brooklyn avenue
past Prospect park to Hollenbeck park, and
then turned into Boyle avenue and started
toward First street. German was fortunate
enough to meet friend in a rig, and the
latter allowed the officer the use of the
horse and buggy to pursue the flying po-
tato peddler.
On Boyle avenue De Coursey's horse
dropped from sheer exhaustion, but this
did not stop the peddler, for he jumped to
the ground and ran afoot. He sped down
First street and then turned back along the
bottom of the little ravine near Boyle
Heights. German had to desert his team,
too, and follow on foot. De Coursey seemed
anxious to get rio of a number of articles in
his clothes, for he was seen to throw some
things away as he ran. German did not
stop to pick any of them up, but a man
later found some money which De Coursey
had discarded. Back along Brooklyn ave.
nue. sped De Coursey, with the officer and
several others in pursuit. By this time De
Coursey was becoming winded and very
weak.
German threw his club at the running
man and hit him twice, nearly knocking him
down, but the ex-prize fighter kept plug
ging away, and would not surrender.
Finally German pressed another rig into
service on Brooklyn avenue and captured
the man. who was too weak to make much
resistance. De Coursey was locked up on
charge of peddling without a license,
pending an investigation by the officers, as
it is thought that he might have had bet
ter cause to fear arrest than the neglect of
being provided with license.

Inexnerienced bee hunters were hot

Inexperienced bee hunters were not very successful with a job they undertook last Friday, near the covered bridge, on the Holland side. In trying to smoke the bees out of larg' pine tree it caught fire in the interior and burned for 12 hours. It was estimated to contain 75 to 100 lbs. of honey, but none was secured.
 Hunting this town has been indulged in of late years by out-of-town sports men, which has not set we'll in the crops of our local sports for the past few seasons. Large parties from other states come in and settle down for 8 week or more and hunt for profit, cleaning up the game birds for miles around. They are not satisfied with all the game, but tear down stone walls, cut wire fences and rip up traps on a farmers private ground, leaving the woods barren of game, and an impression on the minds of the farmer or land owner of no peaceful nature. Land owners are beginning to realize the dam- ages done by some of these wholesale hunters, and are taking action to stop it. Notices signed by most of the owners of game land, calling attention to trespass- ing, have been posted, and they intend to enforce the law
