BAN IS TAKEN OFF
MERRY-GO-ROUND
COUNCIL COMES TO AID OF
POOR GERMAN
DisconsoIate Because He Was Allowed
No "Moosic," Thomas Watkins
Gets Ordinance Repealed
and Now Is Happy

Thomas Watkins modest and retir-
over the deliberations of the city coun-
Gil than the ablest lobbyist, who can
buttonhole the city fathers and con-
vince them that black is the purest
was passed to cover his specific case.
A week ago vigorous attempts were
made to amend the ordinance for his
special benefit, and yesterday the or
dinance was entirely repealed at his
request.
And at that Thomas Watkins is a
shabby, little, sandy haired man with a
German American accent and with no
favors to give away to purchase legis-
lation for himself. 1t would break him
up in business to buy the cheapest Of
cigars for the council and he hasn't
even a vote to give, as he is transient.
His entire fortune is invested in a
merry-go-round, and loud organ
which plays 1.-THE Good Old Summer
Time on each and every occasion.
About two weeks ago Watkins set up
his rocking horses and cathedral organ
in the Fourth ward, where he believed
he would be under the special protec
dent of the council. The residents of
the neighborhood complained to the
health board that the Good Old Sum-
mer Time" made them sick and the
health board asked the council to pass
an ordinance prohibiting merry-go-
rounds within 300 feet of dwelling and
abolishing all music in connection with
them. The council passed the or
dinance.
Last week Watkins appeared before
the council and in faltering German
American told that body that under the
ordinance he could make no money and
couldn't even get out of town. His plea
touched several hearts and efforts were
made to amend the ordinance but with
out avail. The problem was referred to
Mr.. SUmmerland with power to take
such action as he saw fit. Mr.. Sum-
merland told the merry go-rounder to
start up his machine and he would see
the chief of police and fix it with him.
When Mr. Summerland made an Of
fetal call at the vacant lot where the
machine had been operated he found
it packed up and the little proprietor
disconsolate, for the children would not
patronize : i'm without the music. This
determined the president of the council
to take some drastic action, and he told
Watkins to come before the council
again.
Watkins appeared yesterday morning
and between the two they won Council
man Healy over, and the guardian of
the Eighth ward introduced a motion
that the merry-g o-round ordinance be
repealed, which was forthwith DONE
Watkins promised to take his outfit
to the eastern part of the city and
trouble the Fourth warders no more.

HOT ON TRAIL OF
CATTLE RUSTLERS
ANTELOPE VALLEY RANCHMEN
SUFFER
Constables and Deputy Sheriffs Scour
Country for Organized Gang.
Several Arrests Are
Made

Organized bands of cattle thieves
have again infested the ranges in An
telope valley and the Ell Monte dis
trict and, according to the statements
of officers, the people of that neighbour
hood may observe the strict rules of
the old days when rustling was the
chief occupation of the borderman
and every cattle owner was his own
sheriff.
Constable Hicks of Ell Monte slipped
quietly into Los Angeles last Saturday.
The constable is foreman of the Rose
ranch and he was after two of his finest
horses, recently rustled from the Rose
range. Late in the evening he came
across the missing animals in corral
on Avenue Nineteen and he promptly
arrested the owner, ]. Munsey. Mum
sey was arraigned on the charge of re-
ceiviDg stolen property and later re-
leased on $2500 bail, but 1t is not
thought that he had anything to do
with the theft.
Hicks then enlisted Deputy Sheriff
Joe Sepulveda, who is the chief Los
Angeles officer where Spanish and Mex
lean law breakers are concerned, and
after several hours of searching he
found Jose Martinez, the man charged
with the theft of seven horses from the
Rose ranch, in the city Jail.
Martinez was under sentence on
charge of carrying concealed weapon,
but was released and sent to the coun-
ty Jail. Yesterday afternoon Sepulve-
da arrested a second alleged cattle
thief.
Officers and rangers of the Ell Monte
and Pomona district are now hunting
for Jose Melindez, who is said by the
officers to be the leader of large gang
of Mexican cattle thieves and one of
the most daring rustlers of the border
Three men were arrested in the An
telope valley last week by Deputy
Sheriff Franklin and these men are
now awaiting trial on cattle stealing
charges. Other warrants are out and
as cattle are being rustled nearly every
day the officers are preparing to make
general roundup of every suspect in
the district

Brain
Workers.

Brain workers suffer from
headache because they over-tax
and exhaust the brain nerves.
Tired, irritated, turbulent
brain nerves throb and ache;
this weakens the brain power,
and robs the memory.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
bring tranquility to the ex-
cited nerves and stop the pain.
If not relieved, this nerve
disturbance is frequently ex-
tended to the stomach, causing
nausea, vomiting-sick head
ache.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
are convenient to take--just a
little tablet, that in a few mo-
ments relieves the pain; they
leave no disagreeable after
effects, as they contain no
opium, morphine, cocaine or
choral in any form.
From personal experience can
testify that Dr. Miles Anu-Pain Pills
are a most excellent remedy for head
ache and neuralgia. I havc been n
great sufferer from both diseases for
the past three years. A friend who
had also suffered from neuralgia

pills. took them end they gave me
almost instant relief. Since then l
