SAWTELLE, July S.-The story Of
May and December, with the usua
complement of appontments, heart
aches and petty quarrels, has been en-
acted in Sawtelle.
The story came to light when Rose
Kistler called an officer last night tc
recover her clothes, which she alleged
that her fiance, H. w, EARL. had in q
fit of anger taken from her room ana
conveyed to bicycle shop. Deputy
Sheriff Alger acting as mediator, re-
covered the clothing.
Miss Kistler, who is 21 years old
lived in Wichita, Kan, where she be-
came acquainted with Earll, who is
veteran of the civil war, and 6S years
old.
Vows and promises of love were ex-
changed, and EARL left his young tiance
and came to California, where he be-
came a member of the soldiers home
at this place.
Remembrance was kept fresh by let
ters and promises, and, as Miss Ktstler
states, by contracts agreeing that If
she would come to Sawtelle he would
pay her fare, and after her arrival
marry her and deed to her all his prop
erty, consisting of store room on
Oregon avenue and minor properties
She came here and took rooms on
Oregon avenue at Mrs. Jennie Harris.
where Mr.. EARL also had rooms.
Everything was rose-hued for time,
but when the wedding was broached
and the deeds mentioned Miss Kistler
says Earll refused to make out the
deeds until she married him, and she
refused to do this.
He had paid her way here and she
wanted him to give her his property,
which he would not do until he was
sure of her. He had bought her we'd
ding clothes and given her ring, but
took the clothes away.
Mr. EARL, who is a quiet man, stated
that he was deeply attached to the
girl and had furnished her $40, includ-
ing her fare from Kansas. He had
gone to Los Angeles and purchased a
trousseau for her. He added sorrow
fully that he was afraid she wanted
only his money, and she could have
that if she would only marray him.
Miss Kistler, who is a pretty girl, is
working at the Tavern hotel, and she
says naively that as she has not the
money with which to return to Kansas
she may marry some other fellow who
might present himself.

BOYS CONFESS TO
TWO RECENT BURGLARIES
PASADENA YOUNGSTERS KEEP
POLICE BUSY
Theft of Shirts and Bags of Sacks
Traced to Thirteen-Year-oId Lads
Who Have Been in Trouble With
Police Before
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July 1S.-At least one
mysterious burglary which has been
troubling the local police for some days
past was cleared up tonight by the ar
rest of Joe Decatur and Shannon Fam,
two 13-year-old boys.
About a week ago some one broke
into Clark's haberdashery, on East
Colorado street, and made off with two
boxes of fancy shirts as well as other
articles.
The affair was reported to the Off
GERS and the missing shirts were by
them discovered in an alleyway back
of the East Colorado street stores. To-
day a telephone message was received
at the police department. stating that
fifty sacks had been stolen from
Jacobs iced yard on Union street.
Patrolman Schultz was put on the
case, and as a result of his investga-
tions the two lads, Decatur and Fain,
were brought to the police station to-
gether with a companion, Joe Samo-
rano, a Mexican boy of about the same
age as the two others, both of whom
are negroes. When questioned by Chief
Pinkham, Decatur and Fain admitted
haVin gStolen the sacks and, with the
assistance of the Mexican boy, having
sold them. Pressed a little further the
same two negro boys confessed to hav-
ing stolen the shirts from Clark s
store. Decatur and Fain are still in
Jail tonight, SamoranO being released
on his promise to appear tomorrow
forenoon for trial before Justice Cong
don. Decatur is an old offender out
on probation, so that he will be taken
to the house of detention at Los An
geles tomorrow morning without more
ado. Fain has been before the police
a number of times, but has never been
convicted of any crime. These two the
police believe to be thoroughly bad
and richly deserving of punishment. 1t
is to just such boys as these that many
of the petty crimes which keep the
police in hot water are constantly be-
ing traced. There is a small army of
them and the police say that they are
as slippery as cells and continually in
mischief.

EASTERN MEN THOUGHT
TO HAVE LOST MONEY
Capitalists Backing Los Angeles Pro-
moter In Victor Enterprise Acquire
Much Ranch Land During the
Deal
Special to the Herald.

SpeClaI TO the Heralq.
SAN BERNARDINO, July 1S.-It is
quite generally believed here that the
gigantic plan to build an immense irri-
cation and power enterprise at Victor,
of which Arthur e. Poole Of Los An
geles was promoter, has failed, in
which event the eastern men who were
backing the project are believed to
have lost large amount of money.
The option on the Rancho Verde, on
which about 10000 for the original
option and extensions had been eX-
pended, has expired. This option was
extended several times, but it is under
stood it has been allowed to lapse
The reason for the seeming aban-
donment of the project probably was
because OF possible extensive and al
most endless litiga tion from the Ar
rowhead Reservoir & Power COM
pany, which to a certain extent de-
pends on the same watershed that
would be used for the Victor project.
The syndicate for which Poole was act
ing is in possession of large amount
of more or less valuable ranch prop
erty along the Mojave river which has
marketable value, but which will
represent considerable loss unless
some move should be made to carry the
project through.

nuisance. The agent in charge of the
building promptly served notice on his
tenants to vacate, having no desire to
get into a discussion with the police.
But the Household did not move and
tonight lights were lit and the doors
thrown open as usual Then the police
waited upon Eric Holingsworth. in

The authorities are not particularly
anxious to accommodate Post, but may
be obliged to do so. The action of the
