PASADENA, May 24.-Considerable
activity was shown today by Sheriff
White in searching for clues to the
murderer of James A. Logan. one of
his men being In this city and neigh
borhood most Of the day. Friends of
the murdered man are taking the mat
ter UP and interesting developments
are looked for. Possibly the rumor that
r.. G. Owens, the wealthy colored man,
who offered 5000 for the arrest and con-
viction Of the murderer, has Increased
his offer to $500 may account for the
renewed interest in the case in some
directions. At any rate every clue
likely to lead to results Is being fol-
lowed down. The story of Miss Wilson,
the Los Angeles chambermaid, Is be-
ing investigated, although 1t is not
generally credited. Another clue was
advanced this evening"
r.. F. Payne, the negro at whose home
on Dayton street, Logan had rooms,
says a reliable negro man, whose name
he Is ready to give to the officers, spent
several hours following the murder in
tracing isolated drops of blood leading
from the place where the murder was
committed and that the trail led as far
south as Center street in South Pasa-
dena. This indicates that some person
implicated in the crime was injured and
that he made his way to the south in
posed.
Several persons who knew Logan
well insist that the blood-coVered
pocket knife, now in the possession of
the local police department and picked
up at the place of the murder, did not
belong to the murdered man at all;
that Logan always carried handsome
silver pocket knife given him by a
wealthy customer of the Marsh store.
If this be true the knife must have be-
longed to one of the persons, If there
were more than one, and this seems TO
be gaining strength, who attacked
Logan. Sheriff White Is reported to
have come to the conclusion that two
men and woman did the deed, the
woman Turing Logan into the trap.
Many theories are coming to light in
dicating the renewed activity being
shown in running to earth the criminals.

Owing to the fact that no suitable
auditorium can be secured, there will
be no class play this year in the high
school The senior class has been at
work for months upon the usual class

house makes it impossible to give the

given instead.
