11i East Colorado Street
PASADENA, March 23.-Pasadena
has passed one more milestone in her
history; the million dollar bond issue
for the municipal ownership of water
has carried in every one of the FIVE
wards, save for the Franklin well
proposition for the East Pasadena
Water company's property which was
voted down strongly in each ward. 1t
was one of the largest elections ever
held in the city, 2O5o voters casting
their votes Excitement over the result
ran high and one Of the local papers
(the starr issued an extra at 8 o'clock
with the results of the election. A copy
was in the hands of the city clerk
fifteen minutes before the returns from
the last ward reached his office. No
one knew of the proposed publication
of the paper and it caused much sur
prise on the street that Pasadena should
have a o'clock extra of her own.
Another Man Missing
B. M Pollard, well known in this city
and Los Angeles through his former
connection with the fruit firm of Seeley
& Pollard of East Colorado street, is
missing and his friends are much con-
xI1EV, all
about the circumstances under which
the man left the city, as his relatives
are unwilling to talk for publication.
1t is rumored that on March he was
paid by one of the grocery stores a con-
siderable sum of money and that no one
has seen him since the 18th. 1t is evil
dent that he settled every account
against him before leaving. Business
losses are said to be the reason for Mr..
Pollards mental depression, which was
known. Recently he lost some $500 in
an apple deal.
Mr.. Pollard came to Pasadena eight
years ago, becoming associated with his
uncle, H. M. Seeley, in the wholesale
and retail fruit business. Two years
ago he withdrew from the firm. Hts
home was at 151 Hurlburt street, and
his wife is left here. He has always
been considered one of the most re-
liable and brightest business men of
the city. The police will not admit that
they have been asked to locate the man.
Unusual Cruelty to Horse
"a col
picker, was arrested last night by Dr.
DeBiron for extreme cruelty to ami
mails. He was driving a sick and aged
horse, with the blood dripping from an
open sore on its back. The poor ami
NAL was also found to have welted legs,
the sores fostering and was decrepit in
other ways, so that even to walk was
misery. He was put out of his misery
today. The case came before Judge
Congdon today, who said it was the
worst case of cruelty which ever came
before his notice. Fouette was fined
but $50, as he seemed ignorant and
poor. AS the man had not been able
d to pay his fine at O'Clock, he was
taken to the county Jail for thirty
days.
