PASADENA, May ga handsome flag,
3kx7 feet in size. was stolen some time
last night from the home Of T. P. Lukens,
southwest corner of Marengo avenue and
Walnut street. There is no clew to who
took the flag, except that a neighbor, Mr..
Cahill, saw two rough-looking men in the
vicinity at about 1O:30 o'clock, and MIR.
Lukens' dog barked at about the time. The
theft was not discovered, however, till
this morning. Mr.. Lukens is very indig-
nant and offers a reward of twenty-five
dollars for the capture of the thief. The
flag was flying from tall pole in the front
yard. The cord holding the lower end of
the flag was cut and the top of the pole
was also cut. At this time when flags are
hard to buy and so many of them are flying
from conspicuous places, doubtless many
will be stolen. The officers of the law will
do all in their power to run down the
thieves and If caught they will receive
very little sympathy.
