BIG SUNDAY CROWD
Santa Monica Fishermen Tell Some
Fish Stories

SANTA MONICA, July 31.-Thousands of
people spent the day here enjoying the cool
breeze, the surf and the beach. But it was
a very quiet crowd, as indeed all the large
Sunday excursions to this beach have been
this season, no Sunday arrests having been
made for some time
A city trustee is authority for the state
ment that four applications Will be made
at it's regular session tomorrow afternoon
for licenses to conduct that many saloons
on the south side, two to be made by Los
Angeles parties and the other two by men
now in that business on the north side. 1t
Is not believed that the trustees will grant
the licenses, and it is known that the people
of the south side will fight to the bitter end
any attempt to introduce saloons to that
part of town.
The friends of w. G. Owens, who was as
sociated with NJ. L. Hostetter in the plumb
ing business here, are anxously concerned
for his safety. He disappeared two weeks
ago, without an explanation of any sort to
his partner, between whom and himself
there existed sort of Damon and Pythias
friendship. He had no troubles of any
sort except for Ill health at times, and his
partner fears that he has either met with
foul play, as he had more or less money, or
that In an attack of dementia he has wall
dered off. The police of Los Angeles have
been notified, but have failed so far in
cleaning trace of the missing man.
