PASADENA, Oct. 24.-Fred Ziegler,
the crook charged with breaking into
the Los Robles avenue station of the
Santa Fe. made a full confession before
Justice Congdon this morning, the par
ticulars of which have already been
made public. He insists that he went
into the Santa Fe job because his asso-
ciates were charging him with lack of
nerve and of becoming "goody-good.' -
He duplicates Barker, already under
arrest, and a crook who goes by the
name of "Gurley" and sticks to his
story of the recent Santa Fe hold-up
near Albuquerque.
1t seems likely that Ziegler will be
given a chance to show the Santa Fe
officers where the money alleged to
have been stolen in that affair is hidden.
There is a further chance that the
prisoner may know who killed a mes
senger on the Santa Fe last winter the
other side of Barstow. Ziegler does not
give one the impression that he is over
burdened with intelligence and his air
of braggadocia is wearisome to say the
least, but whatever truth there is in his
stories will be run down if possible.
Justice Congdon bound him over this
morning for trial, requiring $500 bonds.
Not being able to furnish this he was
removed to the county Jail.
Killed by a Fall
Samuel K. Ogle of 81 Ritzman street
was accidentally thrown from wagon
this morning, and striking on his
head received injuries which caused his
death a short time after Ogle was over
70 years old and was driving on South
Madison street when he tried to turn
his team around. The wheels of the
wagon caught against the wagon bed,
causing the wagon to rise at one side
suddenly and throw the old man out.
He fell upon his head and when he
was picked up by persons who saw the
accident he was unconscious. An am
bulance took him to the hospital but he
died without returning to conscious
ness. The surgeon who attended him
stated that there was conCussion of the
brain but that the skull was not frac-
tured.
Strategy Defeats Chinese
Humane officer Sherwin descended
upon Pasadenas Chinatown today in
search of dogs which did not wear
license tags. He found six of the
CANNES and told the Chinese they must
pay the tax or they would be arrested.
He was told the dogs were strays and
that no Chinese ever fed them. officer
Sherwin remarked that in that case they
must be arrested anyway for not feed
ing them, and went on his way toward
the city building. Ye Fing the leader
among the local Cinnamon. reached the
city treasurer's office almost as quickly
as officer Sherwin did and al once de-
posted the money for six license tags.
City Council Affairs
The city council did not dispose of
the Orange Grove railway franchise at
its meeting today as was expected, but
on the mayors request gave the COM
mittee which has been consulting with
Mr.. Huntington one week more in which
to arrange a settlement. An echo of
the city's recent trouble with ex-Super-
intendent of Streets C. c. Brown was
heard when one of the councilmen of
fered an ordinance providing for the ap-
pointment of a street inspector to as
sist the superintendent of streets in
inspecting street work. and authorizing
the wages of such an inspector to be
$3.50 a day Brown was appointed to
such a position by the present street
superintendent, the usual salary being
SO a day. When Brown put in his bill
the council found out that he was en-
titled to only 50 a day, hence the trouble
IS SLlIl brewing.
