Bull of 316 Ninth street was held UP and
robbed Of a watch and wallet contain
ing bills and other valuables amounting
to nearly 5000 at the corner of Colorado
avenue and Sixth street last night. Mr..
Bull was returning home at about II

The Santa Monica boom Is having no
effect upon those who object to the
annexation of Irwin Heights, for a petit
ton has been circulated within the last
few days which sets forth the objec-
tlons to the scheme. The anti-annexa-
tionists say that the desire of Santa
Monica is simply to acquire more tax
able property, for the completion Of
projects now on hand, and state that
not only Will the new territory be placed
under added expense without material
benefit but that business projects now
under consideration will be frightened
out of the district by the increased tax
alton.
The Sioux Indian baseball team, now
touring the coast in special car, will
arrive in Santa Monica next Wednes-
day evening and will play the local
ball club in the Southern Pacific park.
Added interest will lie in the fact that
the game will be played under electric
light. Men are now busy stringing the
fifty arc lights which the game will re-
quire.
Sales of Santa Monica real estate for
the past ten days are quoted as amount
ing to $4,000. Besides these sales the
Palisades are reporting heavy transfers
Of residence property. Palisade prop
erty is now quoted at prices ranging
from $1S to $50 per front foot, while the
