From Today
Pasadena Agency,
ii North Raymond Avenue
Telephone Main 1147.

Alhambra came to Pasadena today to
serve the half dozen warrants isued
Saturday on the complaint of a repre-
sentative of the Simons Bros. and al
leging cruelty to animals. All but one
OF the warrants were served without
delay, the sixth warrant, intended for
some one of the Oak Knoll drivers and
calling for the arrest of John Doe not
being served.
Messrs. Macy, Hall, Brown, Gillette
and Foreman Jones of the grading
camp went to Alhambra this afternoon,
accompanied by their attorney, Judge
Rossiter, and in the Justices court
waived the formal reading of the COM
PLANT, entered plea of not guilty and
gave bond of $3.50 each for appearance
at the trial. NJ. A. Hall and G. G.
Brown went on all the bonds. Justice
Northrup fixed the hearing of the first
case, that of Lloyd Macy. for one week
from today at $3.50 a. M, the other cases
to follow as fast as possible. None of
the men will discuss the charges
against them tonight and all of them
feel much chagrined at being obliged
to answer to a charge which from It's
very nature and from their high stand
ing in the community they and their
friends believe to be absurd.
Sent to County Hospital
Humane officer Sherwin took a sec
ond horse from an old peddler by the
name of Burris this afternoon and
killed it, as being absolutely unfit for
further use. Some months ago the hui
name officer killed horse belonging
to Burris, and then feeling much SYM
pathy for the poor old man took up
subscription and bought him another
animal A little later Burris had to be
removed to the county hospital.
This morning several telephone mes
sages came in from along the Garvanza
road telling the humane officer Of
wretched horse coming to Pasadena 1t
turned out to be Burris, who was driv-
ing the worst looking old horse ever
seen in the Crown City and beating him
with a whip the lash of which was
made of bits of wire. officer Sherwin at
once took the horse out of the harness
and started out of the city to execute
him. On Marengo avenue the animal
fell and could not be moved further,
and here it was killed.
Burris will be sent back to the county
hospital. He is very old and some
what childish and utterly unable to
care for himself. 1t is understood that
he has a wife in Los Angeles and son
in college, but that neither of them will
look after the old man.
Still a Puzzle
If ex-Boss Durham is now speeding
on his way toward the keystone state
and the investigation at Harrisburg he
left Pasadena in a manner which con-
cealed perfectly his actual destination.
1t is said that his personal belongings
did not leave the Hotel Green until
Saturday evening and as far as can be
learned neither he nor his brother pur-
chased railroad or sleeping car tickets
h. hoo Hn1 hn Co fn traif
east. A party who knows Mr.. Durham
we'll insists that two men whom he
took to be that gentleman and his
brother purchased tickets on Saturday
night for San Diego Wherever the
twain have gone, east or west those
who come nearest to possessing the
confidence of both do not believe that
they have set out for Pennsylvania.
That they are not now in Pasadena
seems to be about the only point upon
which all agree.
