friends, were locked up this afternoon

red and then engaging in a sort of
charivari. Joe is an old offender and
is likely to join the chain gang.
The cornerstone of the new North
Methodist Episcopal church
was laid this forenoon with appropri-
ate ceremonies. This ceremony was to
have occurred at the time of the formal
dedication of the church by Bishop
Hamilton month ago, but was inn
possible because of the heavy rains at
that time.
Considerable excitement was caused
for time in North Pasadena this
evening by a report that u 11-year-old
boy was lost in the mountains. The
lad went up Las Flores canyon with
young man but they became separated
and the man returned alone. The for
est rangers were hastily communicated
with and arrangements made for
thorough search, but in the midst of
the preparations i'll walked the missing
youth more pleased than hurt at the
excitement his absence had caused.
