OF OPERA COMPANY

Abbott-Bryant Opera company, whose
costumes and scenery had been attached
by Proprietor Charles II. Rutledge of the
Casa del Mar hotel, with promises to
precipitate the organization out into the

time by an angel in the person of Judge
Marvin r. King, president of the Com
mercial bank and custodian of about 500
that remains, or did remain, of the San
Francisco refugee relief fund.
Mr.. King, with the approval of the re-
lief fund committee, appeared on the
scene this morning and caused great joy
to come into the lives of the dspirited
members of the company by "loaning to
each, regardless Of sex or professional
standing, enough money to get out of
town and tide over pressing needs.
The organization went away leaving in
its wake number of unpaid bills, the
largest of which is for $217 to the Casa del
Mar hotel. The Journal job printing es-
tablishment has a bill of about $40 await
Ing settlement and various merchants
hold claims for small amounts against
members of the company.
The attached property it is said will
not sell for more than $25.

take had been made"
Senator Hahn adds:
Il take the charitable view and think
that the commission made a mistake in
presenting the disputed section, but
the mistake and the fault was theirs
and not the committees or the COVER

were attached to the minutes for that

Tragedy
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, June 14.-According to the
officers at work on the case evidence is
accumulating against both Jaxon and
Goldie in the Logan murder case.
Marshal Reid says that in his opinion
Goldie, who is now being held by the
police at Brockton, Mass, knows more
of the Logan murder than he tells; in
fact the doughty South Pasadena mar
shal says that it was Goldie and Jaxon
who were seen by a Pasadena man near
the place of the crime on the evening of
the murder.
An effort will be made to prove this at
the hearing on Saturday before Justice
Glover at South Pasadena.
Reid followed Goldie to Pomona, to
which place the man went from here on
his way east, and says that Goldie told
some peculiar things there which will be
produced at the hearing.
1t has not yet been decided whether to
bring Goldie back to Pasadena or not.
If Jaxon is held for trial Saturday it is
likely that the other man will be sent
for.
Marshal Reid feels confident that he has
evidence enough to cause JaXon to be
held

thieves had been through their home

For a long time the family was OF
the opinion that the purse had been
lost in the park, but finally 1t was re-
called that the purse had been left at
home. 1t seems that the thief must
have entered the house by the aid OF
a skeleton key. for the door was care
fully locked behind him.
The police were notified, but have no
clew.
Two or three petty burglaries have
been reported during the past few days
and several more are believed to have
been attempted. The police and night
watchmen are keeping a closer watch
than usual in consequence of these
reports. Fully 5000 people attended
