SAY MAN NIPPED
A VALUABLE GEM
DIRECT EVIDENCE MAY NOT
CONVICT
Tourist Who Lost Diamond Appears
Indifferent and May Leave the
City for the North
Soon

Unable to obtain the slightest bit of
convicting evidence against George
Davis, arrested at 1890 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon by Patrolman Mcdowell
on suspicion Of nipping a diamond stud
from the bosom of Joseph Ball of De-
troit, Mich, the Los Angeles police
turned the man over to the Pasadena
authorities.
Standing on the rear platform of o
crowded Pacific electric car, Ball and
his wife rode out of Pasadena. AS the
car was nearing the city limits of that
town Mrs. Ball noticed that man was
nipping a diamond stud worn by her
husband The woman grasped the
man but the clever crook passed his
loot to confederate.
Mrs. Ball and her husband held to the
man, whom they identified as Davis,
Other passengers on the car assisted
them, but in the excitement of the mo-
ment the confederate leaped off the
car and escaped.
With their prisoner closely guarded
the tourists rode to Los Angeles and
when they reached Avenue Twenty
six turned the man over to officer
Mcdowell. Davis was booked on sus-
picion and held for several hours.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Ball arrived at
the detectives headquarters at the
central station they made a report of
their loss to a bystander by mistake,
and when the Office man began to in
quire from them what they wanted
Ball informed him that he had already
explained matters.
According to Mrs. Ball the diamond
was valued at $175. She expressed in
difference concerning the affair and
said that she would not stay in Los
Angeles any longer, except for the fact
that they had already made plans to
do so.
Where Mr.. and Mrs. Ball are stay
ing could not be learned. They have
been visiting in Pasadena with friends

BEASTS of Burden of To-day in Many
Instances Are Larger Than Their
Ancestors We Know as Representa-
tives OF the Past.

The study of the remains of extinc'
monsters has brought to light among
ocher curious things, the fact that ID
general the animals of the past that
survive in developed types were much
smaller than their descendants are to-
DAY. Even some of the tremendous
saurlans which look nightmares in the
drawings reconstructing them, the
Pleslosaurus, for Illustration, were
much smaller than several existing
species of whale. This is not true,
however, of the ancestor Of the shark,
the Carcharodon megaladon, a savage
levlathan that measured 100 feet in
length; neither is it true of fhe an
