OFFICER IN PATROL WAGON
FRUSTRATES EFFORT
Two Prisoners Caught With Suspicious
Articles Seek to Conceal Their
Identity and Give
Battle

In the arrest of two men who gave
the names of John Connors and Joe
Bradley shortly after o'clock yester-
day afternoon the police believe they
have in their custody two clever crooks.
Bradley had in his possession a Valu-
able horse blanket and a gold ring
which the police say do not belong to
him.
Connors, who claims he was at one
time a cook in this city, had a great
amount of jewelry tissue paper in his
pockets. From this police believe that
he is "phony tewelry artist" and
how he came into possession of this
which is to be made in connection with
the arrests.
When Connors was placed in the
police patrol he hurriedly pulled several
letters from his pockets and attempted
to tear them to pieces. The arresting
officer caught him and before Connors
would obey the orders from the officer
to not tear them further Connors re-
ceived a severe beating.
When asked to explain to the desk
sergeant why he tried to tear the let
ters Connors refused to answer.
When examined later by Captain of
Police Broadhead, Bradley stated he
met Connors a few days ago while
walking on East First street. At the
time of the arrest of the men they were
on East First street.

RUNAWAY ENDANGERS LIVES
Several Persons Have Marrow Es-
capes in a Main Street
Smashup

A score OF persons narrowly es-
capped death and serious injury yester-
day afternoon when a team belonging
to the Los Angeles Truck company
made wild dash from the corner of
West First and South Hill streets to
the corner of South Main and First
street.
The horses. which became fright
ened supposedly at q passing car,
dashed down the First street hill at a
maddening rate, threading between
street cars, while pedest ians flew i'm
all directions to escape seeming GER
tain death.
At the corner of Main and First
streets the rear of the truck struck
another wagon as the runaways turned
the corner north on Main. The driver
of the second team, whose name was
not learned, was thrown from his seat,
but strangely escaped injury. An
other man was knocked into an en-
trance to a barber shop, but rose inn
mediately apparently uninjured and
started north on Main street on a run.
His identity is a mystery.
AS the frightened horses turned into
North Main street they were stopped.
In their exhaustion they dropped to
the pavement and 1t was several min
utes before they could be raised.
AS the runawayS passed the central
police station several of the officers
and Police Surgeon Freedman followed
the runaways. believing that on ac-
count of the crowded condition of the
streets at the time several persons
would be injured or killed. 1t is re-
garded as a mystery at the police sta
tion that no lives were lost or no one
even injured.
