1t appears that on the November night

are said to perform mischievous pranks
at the expense Of mortals, a wagon
belonging to A. G. knight, a young
La Canyada ranchman, was spirited
away, dragged over rough roads and
deposited in a neighboring school
house. When the owner recovered the
vehicle 1t was considerably damaged
and he therefore began still search
for the witches pro tenn. Some days
ego he concluded that the four prom
inent young men named above were
responsible for the damage and called

the arrest followed. The young men
were brought before Justice Klamroth

Gardeners Names Judges
An important meeting Of the Pasa-
dena Gardeners association was held
last night for the perfecting Of needed
flower show in this city April 6, and
s. One of the most important topics
upon which a decision was reached
was the matter of judges. 1t is an
nounced that these judges will be Rob-
ert Armstrong, the famous landscape
gardener for Venice of America, the
probable choice of whom was an
nounced by The Herald some weeks ago;
H. M. Badger, Well-knoWn Los An
geles scotsman, and superintendent of
Parks Morley of Los Angeles The list
of two hundred Pasadena ladies who
will be asked to act as patronesses Of
the show was completed at this meet
ing. 1t is headed by Mrs. John S. Cra-
vens of South Orange Grove avenue.
The choice assures the favor and gra-
cious patronage of the socially correct
IL
the show are well in hand, and every
thing indicates a big lot of exhibits
in which Los Angeles and many adj
joining cities will join with the gar
deners and florists Of Pasadena.
Debates Take the City
Throop Polytechnic won the joint de-
bate last night from Pasadena high
school, RELOCATING the high school to
the tail end Of the schools represented
In the Southern California Interschol-
astic Debating league. Throop was
represented by Joseph Dixon and Wal
ter Pittinger, Pasadena high school by
Frank Russell and Leroy Sherry. The
judges were DR.. Dozier, Professor
Smith and Attorney Porter of Los An
geles and President Edwards of Throop
institute presided. The attendance was
large, indicating the hold that the de-
bate has already obtained on the people
of this city. So great is the interest
that a system of inter-room debates Is
being arranged in the various grammar
schools of the city. The first of these
grammar school debates was tried in
the Mckinley school yesterday after
noon. 1t was quite a success and will
be followed by similar debating con-
tests all over the city.
CoIored Baptists Will Meet
fist church, colored, in this city, re-
ceived notice today that partial set
tlement had been reached in their long
drawn out quarrel over church doc
trlnes and property rights. Judge Will
bur orders the reinstatement of the
eleven members put out of the church
and denied membership by Pastor
Bushnell and his supporters. He also
decides that the pastor and the portion
of his flock still in possession of the
church property has sacrificed neither
the congregational name nor the owner
ship of the church edifice through any
alleged change in doctrinal teachings.
This leaves the pastor, Rev. Bushnell,
and his friends in charge of the affairs
of the church and is by them consid-
cred great and just victory. 1t is
thought by many that the matter once
out of the courts, harmonious adj
justment of the difficulties will be
quietly brought about by mutual agree
ment.
Grading Contractor Arrested
Humane Officer Sherwin caused the
arrest this evening of Gilbert Harris,
grading contractor, for alleged cruelty
