Mystery Is Solved
Early morning church goers and tour

sights of Los Angeles for several sun
days. They have seen horsemen and
horsewomen dressed In the dress or
the old frontier, booeed and spurred,
bedecked with revolvers and wearing
CAV handkerchiefs. clattering along the

Sunday morning hours, bound for the
country.
