Christian church OF this city, its hand
some and commodious new church
building having been dedicated with
appropriate ceremonies this afternoon.
The dedicatory service was held at
1880 D. M, although all the worship
services partook OF the special char
acter of the day. The afternoons
musical program was In charge of the
choir of the Los Angeles Adventist
Christian church. Elder o. M. owen of
the Los Angeles church preached an
eloquent dedicatory sermon.
special collection was taken to-
ward the $500 church debt, and more
than $500 was raised. 1t is under
stood that the remaining amount will
be gradually raised in order not to be
burdensome to the membership, which
has already responded literally to the
needs of the organization.
Pastor Roger Sherman of the local
church is highly gratified at the pres
ent financial condition of the First
church.
During the afternoon service hearty
fraternaI greetings were received from
many of the Pasadena churches. This
evening the sermon was by w. o.

was given by w. r. Chandler, presi-
dent of the Soupthern California con-
ference.
Officers Catch Runaways
Patrolmen Slade and Rice made a
spectacular catch of a.. runaway team
this evening on East Colorado street.
A team became frightened at Lamanda
Park at about $3.50 and, throwing their
driver, John Wilson, from the carriage,
ran down the road for Pasadena. They
soon freed themselves from the car
riage and when they reached Lake
avenue had only portions of the har-
ness hanging to them.
Officers Slade and Rice leaped on
their bicycles and gave chase. The
runaways dashed through the street
crowded at that time with people COM
ing out of church, luckily colliding
with no one. The two plucky police
men hung to the horses bits and fin
ally succeeded in stopping them at the
corner of East Colorado street and
Raymond avenue.
Damages Were Wanton
This house has been in an earth
quake" ran a note which was found
in three summer cottages in Merriam's
camp, up in the mountains, day or
two ago. Indeed, the contents bore out
the suggestion. Chairs were broken,
windows smashed, curtains torn in
two, mirrors in pieces on the floor and
dishes scattered in fragments all about
the place. Many articles were missing
and some of them have since been
found in the possession of the quartet
of young lads gathered in by Con-
stables Newell and Austin. These boys
Harry Hall. Willie Lewis, Robert
Traut and Lee Smith, the oldest not
over fifteen years of age-nonchalantly
admitted doing the damage and writ
ing the notes.
At the Elms' place, at the foot of
the trail to Merriam's camp, the same
young men broke in and stole tele-
graph instrument and other articles
which they could not use, and out of
sheer wantonness played rough house
with the contents. An officer this af-
ternoon found three pairs of glasses
under some bushes in Eaton's canyon,
parts of telephone and other articles
stolen from the Dale cabin by the same
gang. The boys are at the detention
home at Los Angeles, but will be
brought into Justice Congdons and
Justice Klamroth's courts tomorrow,
although. owing to the legal holidays
now existing, the cases must be again
postponed.
Sunday at the Resorts
Reports from the many noun
tain resorts to the north indicate that
greater crowds visited them on pleas
ure bent today than at any time this
winter. Many Shriners were among
the crowd at the Alpine Tavern and
mingled with the picnickers in the
various canyons. BY actual count
more than 100 people spent the day
in Eaton's canyon, while Rubio, Las
Flores. Millards and Santa Anita had
even more. Manager Rich reports that
140 people registered at the Mt Wilson
cottage hotel during the day, from
which vantage point they were able
much OF the day to look out upon the
rolling clouds over the valley below
The weather at the higher points in
. the mountains was perfect. although
a little lower down the sun was OBJ
scured by clouds. No unpleasant in
cidents marred the day An interest,"
ing happening at Mt. Wilson was IN
arrangement by which guests at the
hotel listened by telephone to the mu-
sic and Rev. McTeod's sermon at the
First Presbyterian church, an expert
ment which is likely TO be repeated
for the benefit of those who miss the
religious services to which they are
accustomed while at their homes in
the valley.
