City.
1t appears that Mr.. Brewer came to
Pasadena with letters from Adolphus
Busch. the St Louis millionaire, to
score of leading citizens deputizing him
to look over the ground and study the
sentiment regarding an art institute
for this city. A meeting was helu
Yesterday at which Rev. f. l.. Conger
was chairman and Prof. Walter Ed
wards secretary, at which resolutions
were adopted heartily commencing
such a movement. Among the promi-
nent gentlemen present and concur
ring in this action were r. i. Conger,
w. p. Edwards, DR.. Mcbride, Bishop
Joseph Johnson, F. T. Holder, DR.. Abb
bott. Benjamin Page. John S. Cravens,
Rev. Robert j. Rurdette, John Wads-
worth. Conway Campbell-Johnson, Mr..
Flemming, II. |. Stuart, r. |. Rogers,
g. F. Holder, c. c. Bragdon and others.
1t is believed that Mr.. Busch designs
some move which will be of great value
to Pasadena and the outcome of Mr.
Brewers report will be awaited with
much interest.
Petitions Still Delayed
James McAdam, who represents the
petitfoners on the east side in asking
for the formation of a. storm water
district. appeared before the county
board of supervisors Monday with the
new petition desired by them. The
board was too busy to give the mat
ter their immediate attention and as
they desire that nothing shall be done
without perfect legal warrant they dt-
rected Mr. McAdam to take the petit
tion to the county surveyor for the
purpose of having the desired boundar-
les checked up and properly located.
This action has therefore been taken
and it is hoped that the matter will
be in shape by the first of the week
to be presented to the board again.
Meanwhile the residents of East Pasa-
dena are becoming a bit annoyed at
the obstacles which they feel the city
administration is putting in the way of
the movement for annexation.
1t is understood that the men having
the petition In hand assert that the
arbitrary estimate of east side proper
ty owners made by the assistant city
attorney is overdrawn and are con-
sidering steps to bring the matter be-
fore the city council without first pre-
senting it to the mayor.
Cruelty toy Dogs
Humane Officer Sherwin was called
to a neighborhood on Arbor street today
to kill a fine bulldog which was suf-
fering from a broken hip caused by the
brutal treatment of his owner. The
mans name is not given but it is
said that day or two ago he aban-
doned his wife and family in desti-
fY1tn oil. efo of pif
swearing that he intended never TO re-
turn. During a drunken rage the man
is said to have attacked his handsome
bulldog, one carefully planted kick
breaking the animals hip. The dog
was taken charge of by neighbors and
everything possible done for it's relief
but it suffered so much that finally
the humane officer was called to put
it out of its misery. Officer Sherwin
his willingness to arrest the
man who caused the injury for cruelty
but could not find him for the reason
above given.
The Humane society tonight offered
a reward of $40 for the arrest of some
party who tied tin can to the tail of
a valuable dog, driving the animal
nearly wild with fright. The society
considers the action cruel in the eX
treme and proposes to punish the per-
petrator If possible.
Morgan May Recover
w. e. Morgan, the employe of the
Brand Manufacturing company who
was dangerously cut by a buzz saw
yesterday afternoon, is reported TO be
resting easily at the Pasadena hospi-
tai with some slight chances of re.
covery He is still far from being out
Of danger, but with no unexpected de-
during the next three or
four days is likely to win in the race
for life. The attending surgeon reports
that the wound made by the buzz saw
is frightful to look at. When the man
rose to his feet his head struck with
full force against a rapidly moving IA
inch saw. In an instant the saw
and through the skull itself clear to
the brain. The long narrow slit in
the scalp measures five inches and
the bone of the skull is sawed through
for nearly four inches. To those who
helped to pick up the wounded man
It appeared as though nothing short OF
miracle would save his life.

properties for a magnificent city park
hence the work entered upon by those

taken to be thoroughly representative

preliminary stseps of the Arroyo park
