HORSE ON MEXICAN WORKMAN
Animal Falls Into Trench in Which
Laborer 10 at Work, but Neither
Is Injured

A horse drawing an Empire Steam
laundry wagon fell into five-foot ex-
cavation at Second and Spring streets
yesterday about noon, and Remedies
Mojica, laborer working In the ditch,
barely escaped being crushed beneath
the heavy body of the animal.
He escaped injury, however, by press
ing himself fatty against the side of
the ditch, thus avoiding any contact
with the horse as it fell from above.
No injury was done the horse and the
only damage Of any kind appeared to
be a broken harness.
When the horse fell into the conduit
it seemed to the onTookers that Mojica
had been killed. as he was completely
covered from sight by the animals
body. His fellow workmen rushed to
his assistance, and they We're aston
ished to see him crawl from the hole
unhurt,
The horse was removed from the ditch
with great difficulty. and for half an
hour men worked with ropes and poles
to draw 1t up.

Attacked Plumber, Is Defendant
in Damage Suit

John Alton, secretary of the Farmers
and Merchants bank of Los Angeles,

Bordwell of department 9 of the SUI
perior court, and at its close the at
torneys were allowed twenty days to

Gillespie went to the Alton home to
fix the plumbing last November. He
alleges there was no warming posted,

grasped him firmly by the left leg and
bit its initials therein, much to his
personal humiliation and pain. He was

Chinese peddler before the Gillespie
episode, and it was testified that the

WOMAN WORKS
CLEVER TRICK
SW00NS ON CHEST OF NICE
OLD MEN
Police Say Victims Complain of Being
Robbed After Rendering Assists
ance to the Fair One In
Distress

Detectives Zeiger and Hosick yester
day afternoon arrested Mrs. Jennie
Lance, who lives near Sixth street and
Central avenue and booked her at the
police station on a charge of vagrancy.
Mrs. Lance, who claims to be a real
estate operator, was found on Broad
way, the police say, in the act Of solicit
ing among old men.
The woman fought the arresting Of
-ficers fiercely. and 1t required two
policemen to lead her to cell at the
police station. She had in her possess
sion handbag, which she struggled
so strenuously to retain that the Of
ficers became suspicious that 1t might
contain stolen articles. When she was
searched by the police matron, how
ever. nothing of any particular sig
nificance was found.
Although Mrs Lance claims to be a
real estate operator the police say the
woman obtains her livelihood through
a rather ingenious method of hold-up
game.
According to the police, when the
woman meets a susceptible looking
man, especially nice old man, on the
street, Mrs. Lance Immediately feigns
illness, and when the Solicitous gentle
man is attracted to her side she swoons
away on his breast. After the woman
mas peSH revived, II IL Sdlu, tne ildu
usually finds himself minus piece of
jewelry or healthy bank roll.
Another trick the woman is accused
of working Is to start a Irritation with
some foxy old gentleman (nearly al
ways old gentlemen), and when she has
succeeded In entwining herself in his
loving embrace she will relieve herself
of a long-drawn piercing shrek. An
officer comes upon the scene and the
trusting old swain is hurried off to the
police station to be imprisoned for ac-
costing women on the street. And in
cidentally, the gullible old fellow is
left to puzzle over the mysterious dis
appearance of some valuable.

ANTI-D0G DAYS ARE ON
IN ROSE HILL DISTRICT
THIEVES AND PoIsoNERS ARE
VERY ACTIVE
Many Fine Animals Mysteriously Dis
appear, While Others Are Found
pead-YeIIow Variety Not Dis
turbed

The disappearance of several fine
dogs from the Rose Hill district on the
Pasadena short line has started gem
eral search by citizens, deputy con-
stables and city detectives after the
marauders and poisoners who have in
tested that section, and If the offenders
are caught their captors promise it will
go hard with them.
Several weeks ago fine fox terrier,
a registered bench show dog, was taken
from the home of resident OF the Sec
tion. The chain had been slipped from
the collar in a manner showing that
the dog could not possibly have slipped
the leash, and diligent inquiry at
the dog pound failed to locate the lost
pup.
Poisoners at Work
That was only the start. A few days
later 1t was learned that the dog had
been sold, but the present owner can
not be found. From that time on there
has been a perfect reign of terror
among the doggies Of the pretty little
suburban district. No dog can call his
life his own, for several OF the pretty
but vicious dogs have been poisoned.
During the past few weeks there have
been ten fine dogs takon. Invariably
the good ones are the victims, as the

not molested. A valuable little cocker
spaniel, worth $3.50. disappeared week
ago, and tall, rather well dressed man
was seen by one of the children of the
neighborhood leading the dog along the
car tracks. A chase failed to locate the
thief
Pet of Neighborhood Gone
Yesterday morning a valuable bull
terrier was taken from the home of
Miss Pauline Drullard. Miss Drullard,
with her mother and brother, live just
to the north of the car tracks. The dog,
probably one of the best bull terriers In
the southwest, was formerly show
dog, and 1t was given Miss Drullard
after its owner Lad decided to leave the
vaudeville stage. The bull was the pet
of the neighborhood, and so evil hefell
him and he also Joined the ranks of
the mysteriously disappeared, and now
city detectives, county officers and resi-
dents of the neighborhood are busy
searching every nook and corner of the
county for Casey" for such Is the

Any information about the dog can
be telephoned the detectives depart
ment OF the police station, and some in
formation OF the whereabouts OF the
dog thief will be welcomed by the resi-
dents Of Rose Hill.
