book containing $172.
Apparently some one in the crowd
attracted by the runaway picked up the
pocketbook and, noting its valuable
contents, forgot to return it, as the
money and purse are still missing.
1t has developed since the accident
that nearly every person In the car
riage was more or less injured.
DR.. Corey states that he remained in
the carriage, attempting to stop the
horses until the vehicle was over
thrown, himself sustaining painful
injuries which will lame him for some
time
Another occupant of the carriage

Telep none Main 7b2.


PASADENA, July 27.-The projected
purchase of the Carmelita six acres on
West Colorado street on which to To-
cate a convention hall and casino re-
ceived renewed impetus at meeting
held last night in the rooms Of the
board of trade.
Chairman j. o. McCament Of the
COMMITTEES to whom was given the task
of raising money with which to make
the purchase, reported that he had been
given an option on the property IN
question by its new owner, f. e. Craw-
ford, the sum named being $55,OOO.
Mr.. Crawford himself offers to sub
scribe $1,000 toward this amount
The committee reports that its sub
scription lists show nearly $4,000 al
ready pledged.
A great deal of enthusiasm was
shown by those present at last nights
meeting and it was decided to ask those
who have already subscribed to raise
their subscriptions one-third, which
will make up the needed amount A
number of those present agreed 10 this
step at once and so increased their own
subscriptions. Quite an awakening has
taken place among the west siders dur
ing the past few days and those In
charge of the convention hall project
are much encouraged over the outlook
AS to Postoffice
Postmaster Wood was approached a
day or two ago by certain west side
people as to what arrangements can be
made to retain the postoffice in it's
present location on West Colorado
street.
The parties were Informed of the
present status of affairs with reference
to the postofiice site and told to make a
proposition. This will certainly be
done.
1t should be perfectly understood that
Postmaster Wood is totally unbiased
as to the site and that the best place
offered the department, everything be-
ing equal, will be accepted. Special
Agent Hall is now in San Francisco
and the several offers have been for
warded to him there.
1t looks as though the people of the
west side are awakening to the neces-
sity Of doing something to stem the
tide eastward. At last nights meeting
$4,000 was added to the fund accumulat-
ing for the purchase of the Carmelita
site and this afternoon $4,000 more was
reported to the committee.
