PASADENA, Aug. 15,--It looks as
though the city authorities Will be
Obliged to 60 into the business OF
collecting garbage as a municipal en-
terprise unless some means can be
found for placating the anger of one
M. j. Cooper, city scavenger.
When FIRE districe No 1 was FIRST
established arrangements we're made
with Cooper to collect and carry away
the garbage of that district, which
included practically all Of the then
business district Of the city. Recently
without consulting Cooper, the city
council extended the limits of this fire
district so as to take In much wider
territory. 1t was expected that Cooper
would see the point and collect the gar.
bage just the same
This he tried to do, but after being
arrested for collecting garbage out
side of hours and in q leaking wagon ht
got on his dignity and in his turr
failing to consult the city council threw
up the job Garbage began to accumu-
late at once in the business district an6
now smell ito hign heaven"
The city has no means of collecting
and removing the garbage and Is ir
quite a dilemma.
Informal notice has been given that
a new garbage collector In the city'I
pay is likely to be chosen tomorrow
when luckily the city council has g
special meeting, and asking for al
persons who desire such job to apply
to the city clerk at once. A public
garbage collector, together with a gar.
bage moderator, are within the pos.
sibilities and that shortly present con.
ditions being unbearable and according
to the board of health, ,inimical to pub.
lie health.
1t is contended by some that were
the need generally known persons
would be found who would gladly pay
for the privilege of collecting the city'f
garbage, most of which Is said to be oi
considerable value.

LONG BEACH, Aug. 15-The trials
of John Doe" and Richard Roe
charged with stealing a horse from
Mrs. Martha Gibbon last week. devel-
cped the fact this morning that Mrs.
Gibbon had willingly agreed to the
trade by which her horse went into the
possession of the two men, and that
she first repented Of the deal ten min
utes later when, upon attempting to
harness the "hoss" which she received
from the traders, the animal laid back
his ears and chased her into the house.
Deputy Prosecutor Mccormack threw
up both hands when he heard this
statement and told Justice Brayton he
had no case. The prisoners were dis
charged. The parties to the trade
'swapped" back, however, and Mrs.
Gibbons now has her own and more
tractable horse in her possession.
The PLAINTIFFS statements caused con-
tinued laughter In the courtroom. AL
though but 39 years old she looks older.
She stated that she farms, saws and
chops wood to make a living.
The attorney for the defense so ang-
cred her while attempting to get her to
con1ne her remarks to direct answers
of his questions that after court adj
journed she expressed the wish to
knock his block off"

beyond belief.
1t is stated that the three men
bought the horse here this afternoon
and attempted to take it away. The
animal was wild, however. and would
not go. Then ropes were tied around
Its neck and around its body, and it
was hitched behind a hayrack. Then,
1t is alleged the three men beat and
dragged it along the street in the most
inhuman manner.
When found by the officer the horse
had evidently been abandoned by its
new owners. Its nose appeared to be
broken and its body was cut, torn and
bruised terribly.
The case is exciting the utmost indig-
nation in the south end of the city and

The petition states that the facilities
are totally inadequate to continue the
present arrangement, result of which
is a disagreeable odor and other values
in the affected district.
The complaint is an old one and has
been before the board in some shape
or other at almost every meeting dur

There is an agreement in existance
between the two cities relative to the
