LOS ANGELES FILLED UP
The Winter Population Is Not the
 Kind Desired.

Persons who come from Los Angeles say that the winter population of that town is bigger than the regular resi- dents want 1t to be, considering the kind cf a population it is. It is the kind Of which Phoenix has had cause to complain of; the kind that does rot bring money enough along 10 make l.. independent.
 The special winter rates allowed by the railroads attracted thousands whc had just enough money to reach the much advertised sunny southern Cali- fornia. Some had a little money. and by living in the most economical man. ner managed to prevent themselves from being a burden upcn the city All places of employment are filled and CvefTowing, so that those still able To work could find nothing to do. But thousands were not able to work and had no money for medicine and doe tors bills. The charitable institutions are full. and so are the cheap rocming houses. while the magnificent hotels are not doing as much business as they did last winter.
 This is a new condition for Los An geles. Hitherto the wealthy and the well tc do formed much the greater part of the c!ty's winter populations

They seem to be sheared on this side" the senator is quoted als having said. Tce other day in the senate this anecdota was duplicated after fashion. There nad been discussion about the wis dom of 2ppropriating a lump sum an- nually for keeping the sidewalks and steets of Washington free from snow and ice. MT.

TALE OF 4 CORK LEG.

Madam" said ,he one-legged man to the elderly woman who had taken the seat next to him in the railway car, madam 1 notice that you observe have but one leg. I had cork leg some years ago which served me al- most as well as an ordinary leg, and was in some respects SIDe-ior tC my departed limb. I lost my leg while travelling with circus, and Inc gener- al m:mage vefy kindly gave me one which had belonged to his deceased father-in- law. T was lttle too long but in every otne, respect il w:,s per feet. 1t had the exact shape of hG- man ieg, with the additional advan- taSe of an elaborate system of springs by which the lee could be wound up for hopping.

 As my leg did not have to carry the weight of my body, it hopped a great deal further each time and went ahead with lightning speed. It became smaller and smaller until it finally looked like a very little gnat jumping up and down. and at last it seemed to leap off the edge of the horizon
 Now I was in a pretty fix Leg gone. Twomatwitch gone. No food No drink.

BURGLARS ARE BUSY
HousebreaKers Are Working Over
 time in Phoenix.

Evidence is no longer wanting that this town is now harbOTing a gang of cracksmen, burglars and bad men gen erally. A story was printed yesterday of man dCgging the footsteps of a woman who resides on South First ava- nue, and of the entrance of a neigh bor's house the same night. presumably by the same man, who was frightened away before he could search the prem ises for valuables.
 But he came near getting his need ings'' Thursday night at the hands cf Jim Tapia, a Mexican who lives in the same part of town. Tapia discovered some one in his house. but before the stranger could do his turn Tapia was on deck with a hatchet in his hands. lie mixed things with the intruder, but his blows went a little wild in the dark. and the burglar left between two jumps Of the second hand. lie also left nice derby hat with Mir Tapia, and there were a few blood stains on the hatchet next morning, all of which indicate that Jim was getting close to the bulTs-eye. The reason for thinking that the intruder ls the same one who operated the night before Is that the Wcmau who was followed says her shadow" wore q derby hat. was well dressed, smoked a cigar, and was alto gether a veJy genteel looking person as near as could be judged in the semi darkness
 But there are others of the same kind in town. or else this man must have done two or three stunts earlier in the night, or worked very late and with q sore head. for aside from the safe r another column, there were.dt leas, two other buTglaricus incidents Thurs day night
 Charles A. smith. the horseman. who resides on the southwest corner of East BuchaEan and First streets. was among the Victims, and he has a real grievance, for the burglar made a good job cf it in his house and was well paid for his trouble. A lamp was burning. for it is the practice of the family to keep a lamp lighted all the lime. which is greately to the adyan- tage of the burglars if they are nervy enough to take the chance. The en- tire family was wrapped in slumb r and did rot discover till yesterday morning that they had been visited during the night When MT. Smith arOsz he found himself shy the pants, vests and shoes he had wCrn the pre- Ceding day, and another pair of shoes as well. Fortunately, though, h. had other clothes and was able to appear in public legally attired He did mt miss the clothes SO much as he did the eighty dollar gold watch and chan that he left in his vest and his purse, which contained four or five dollars in silver, and which was in his pants
Arizona republican., 1904-02-13

pocket when he retired. The purse was found later, empty and in one corner .Cf the room where it had been thrown. As soon as he dressed he went to the barn to see if the burglar had also carried away his valuable horse, Sena- tor L. He found the animal all right, and also found his vest and one pair of shoes. The watch was engraved on the case with the initials J. M., and from the chain was suspended an old English sovereign which he wore for q charm. He is now very much rejoiced to think that the stop watch he gener- ally carries in another vest pocket was left at the jewellers Q day CT two be- fore to be cleaned. His house is a six rOomed structure. and every room was searched by the burglar.
 The other house that was entered Thursday night was that of a Mr. Clark, who lives in Brill's addition. MT. Clark had been to the Elks' show, and on returning retired rather late His bedroom is on the second floor. and he was not very soundly asleep when he heard somebody sneaking up the stairs. Reaching for his gun he wait cd fer what he thought was an oppor tune time then let a bullet fly in the dark. His aim was all guesswork, and it missed the mark intended by a slight margin, landing in the door jamb to one side. Mir. Clark was not shooting st a ghost. for he heard the visitcr jump backward in his flight and clat- ter down the stairs with much less stealth than he had crept up. Mir. Clark did not quio kly follow after for fear he might jump into hornets nest, but as soon as he considered il safe he went below and investigated. He found a good pair of shoes. just such pair as the genteel footpad who was seen on South First avenue might be supposed to wear. He seems. though, to be a man who can travel without shoes in an emergency.
 There is something about these four incidents that suggests that the same thug is at the bottom of all the mis- chief. but so much work in one night and in opposite parts of the city, leads to the conclusion that enc man could scarcely do it all without violating the eight-hour law.
