,. Judge Ord will be we'll remembered

"Judge J. &. Ord OF Los Alamitos town
ship holds the record for sprintiDg In that
neighborhood, and all day Monday the
excited populace were out measuring his
barefooted tracks made the previous eve
ming in a stern chase after one Mosmi
Navaez, aged IS, who broke window in
the Judges residence. 1t vas along about
II O'Clock on Sunday night that the Judge,
after reading until that hour, extiDgulshed
the light and prepared to go to sleep. A
moment thereafter he heard footsteps upon
his front porch, followed by crash OF
broken glass The Judge sleeps in the
second story of the building, but he was
out OF bed and down the stairway before
the visitor had a chance to get off the
porch. AS the Judge slipped out OF the
front door he espied Mexican beating
hasty retreat around the corner. He put
after him, calling to him TO stop, but this
only served to make the palsano go the
faster The Judge gained on the chap
steadily, and when the residence OF Bill
Sparks was reached, the Mexican ran into
the house. His Honor, being in his bare
feet and nightshirt, and being confident
be had freed his man, returned to his
abode and dressed himself. When he re-
turned to Sparks, the paisano had gone.
Sparks identified the man as Mosml
Navaez, a Mexican woodchopper, who
boosted OF having broken a window in the
Ord residence. Monday morning war
rant was sworn out against him, and be
was placed under arrest by the Los Alam1-
tos constable. NavaeZ was sentenced In
May last by Judge Ord to thirty days in
the county Jail for misdemeanor. He
vowed vengeance upon the Judge. NaVaez
was taken to Santa Anna on Tuesday and
sentenced by Judge Matlock to ninety
days in the county jail. Judge Ord Is
terror to evil doors at Los Alamltos, ana
one or two Mexicans sentenced to jail have
threatened his life. He takes little stock
in these threats, however. He had a
revolver lying by the side of his bed when
Navaez broke his window, but in his haste
to get down stairs, forgot all about the
weapon. its just as we'll did forget It,
he said, in talking about the circumstance,
sfor if | had taken it, that man would have
been a corpse, and had no right to shoot
| him outside my house. For | most GER
tainly would have shot him had l had my
weapon in my hand.'"
