PASADENA, Feb. 24.-Park Dens-
more reached Rochester, N. Y, yester-
day in charge Of Sheriff Hawley, and
it took him but two hours to straighten
up matters, and be free to start back
for California. Today M. G. Gunni-
son, the brother-in-law of Densmore,
received telegram dated at Buffalo,
stating that Mr. and Mrs. Densmore
had started back to Pasadena, and
that everything had been satisfactorily
settled. From the time that the party
arrived In Rochester, Mr.. Gunnison
thinks that the matter was at once
brought before the Judge, and that
within two hours after his arrival Dens-
more was free
The telegram further stated that a
stop of some days would be made at
Erie on business, but Mr.. Gunnison
fully expects his relatives within ten
days or two weeks at the most. Mr..
Gunnison is attending to the extensive
business interests of Mr.. Densmore' in
his absence.
Densmore was arrested over two
weeks ago by the local police upon a
telegram from Rochester, N. Y, stat
| ing that the contractor was wanted for
obtaining money under false pretenses
No bail was allowed here under the
circumstances, although but $1,000 was
the amount fixed in Rochester. Ac-
cordingly, for twelve days, until Sher-
| if Hawley Of Rochester could reach
here with the extradition papers, Dens-
more was an inmate of the local Jail,
where he transacted his business as If
from his private office. Eight bunga-
lows were in process of construction,
and the work went right on without
pause, although the contractor was in
jail
Schearer Damage Suit Not Settled
In spite of the persistent rumor that
Mrs. Christian E. Shearer, widow of
| the man killed by the automobile ten
days ago, had accepted $1,000 in full as
settlement of the damage case
brought by her against the automo-
bilists, Lawyer Elmer 1. Moody, the at
torney for the people in the touring car,
declares that such is not the case. He
says he will tomorrow file papers In
answer to the ones presented in the
| damage case. This looks as if the case
would be fought out in the superior
court.
Mrs. Jefferson, who was running the
machine at the time of the accident,
| Is still away from the city, but will
return in time for the trial in case
the action is not dropped. Mr.. Hutch
inson, another occupant of the automo-
bile, is also out of the city, being now
in Mexico on a trip. But he is to re-
turn to Pasadena when needed. Their
attorney. e. I. Moody, says their alb
sence is entirely upon his recommend
alton, and that there is not the slight
est attempt to evade the issue.
School Flag Raising
The Womans Improvement associa-
tion of South Pasadena this afternoon
presented with elaborate ceremonies
large flag to the public school of
that place. The exercises were attended
by many of the parents of the children,
and the members of the improvement
association were present in a body.
Reward for Dog Poisoner
In addition to the 5000 reward for the
capture of the dog poisoner offered by
Fred Turner, who recently lost valu-
able dog, the Humane society this
morning added 500 more. 1t is said
that one of the legal officials has con-
siderable circumstantial evidence
against a woman, but as yet nothing
further can be done. Yesterday one
of the finest Saint Bernards in the
city was found dying from poison, and
suffering so acutely that Humane Of
ficer De Biron was called to end its
misery. In addition to offering the re-
ward, the Humane society also issued
general warning to owners of dogs,
to chain them up or keep them within
the limits of their homes, especially
at night.
