w. H. Able, a short farmer who lives

morning that a bull calf had been sto-

of the United States mail between To-
peka and Dover was the guilty man.
Patrolman Jester was sent to inves-
tigate. He found that John Strauss,
who is Uncle Sans caFrier, had sold a
calf to Pete Callahan this morning, re-
ceiving for it 81. w. Fl. Able went with
the officer and identified the animal as
his. Then they went to the county at
tOrney's office and secured complaint,
and Justice Chesney issued a warrant
for the arrest of Strauss on the charge
of stealing the calf. constable left
for Dover soon afterward to make the
arrest. There was time to Overtake
Strauss who had started for Dover this
morning, but as he was carrying United
States mail it was thought best to let
him deliver the mail, for as Tim DOno-
van said: If we go to stopping the
mails, we will all get in Jail"
Farmer Able said: My calf was a
red-roan bull calf. Strauss got it when
he went by yesterday. Then he sold it
for 81 here this morning"

An inquest was held yesterday by the
coroner at John r. Pauls undertaking
establishment, 421 Downey avenue, East
Los Angeles, upon the body of Mrs.
Elizabeth Crowell of 121 Daily street, who
died on Friday night from injuries re-
ceived the evening before by being
struck by a Pasadena car going south,
almost in front of her residence. G. A
Whitney was the motorneer in charge
of the car.
Mrs. Crowell was 81 years of age, very
deaf and almost blind. She attempted to
cross the track as a car was coming
toward Los Angeles, and, notwithstand-
ing the efforts of the motornecr, who ap-
piled his brakes and turned off the elec-
tricity as soon as he saw that the old
lady did not notice the coming car, she
was struck on the head and dragged
some ten feet along the line. The car
was stopped within fifteen feet from
where the accident took place.
The coroner's jury exonerated the
motorneer from negligence and returned
a verdict of accidental death. DR..
Brown, who made the autopsy, found
that the skull had been fractured.

THE FUTURE AN OPEN BOOK
DR.. Reede's Reliable, Accurate and
Convincing Prophecies

If you want to experience the inter
ssting sensation of meeting, profession
ally, a man who actually does what he
hdvertises that he can do, go to Dr..
Reede, the remarkable and noted mind
reader, palmist and astrologer, at Hotel
Ramona, and let him read your fortune
The result will astonish and delight you
In more ways than one. He will tel
you things about your past that it is alb
solutely impossible for him to know ex-
rept by some occult power, and which
will give you entire confidence, by theil
accuracy, in what he prophesies fol-
your future.
His parlors are the corner suit OF
three rooms on the second floor over
looking Third and Spring streets, and
are homelike and inviting. His wife, q
charming woman, is with him, but she
takes no active part in the doctors
work. DR.. Reede, who has an open,
frank manner and most agreeable per-
sonality, was born and raised in Ger.
many. Although still young man, he
has been in this country twenty-five
years practicing his profession, princi-
pally in Chicago. He has been in Los
Angeles but one week and will remain
here only three months.
There is nothing that suggests in the
least degree the supernatural in his
manner of going about his work. You
are courteously invited into the corner
room of the suit. and you remove your
gloves at his request. He does not
ask your name. but tells you what it
Is later on Of his own volition. You are
hidden to be seated near a table in the
center of the room. DR.. Reede also seats
himself few feet away and while he is
tearing some blank paper into small
slips. he explains certain of his meth
Dds, and his reasons therefor.
For instance, he says that palmistry
presents certain unmistakable signs-as
The three principal lines in the hand but
that beyond what those signify to the
reader of palms the rest of the practice
of palmistry is almost wholly suppositi-
tious. With astrology, too, there are
certain fundamental facts which mean
certain things, but the rest is more or
less unreliable. Therefore DR.. Reede.
who has both these sciences at his fin
gers ends, so to speak, utilizes parts Of
both those arts, but he goes further and
weaves in with what they tell him thai
other art, clairvoyance, or second sight.
Having by this time torn up enough
strips for his purpose, he hands YOU
seven of them and tells you to write
four questions on any subject upon
which you desire information on as
many of the slips; and on the remaining
three you are to write your fathers
name, your mothers maiden name and
your own name and age. WhereupOr
he leaves the room and closes the door
behind him. You follow his instruc
tions and these also, /. e., fold each slim
separately, with the writing inside. into
as small compass as possible and nlace
all seven in your purse or put them in
your pocket, according to your sex.
Then you call him, he returns and again
