LARCENY OF BACON.
At a meeting of the Los Angeles
luau committee a touch of humor was
| given by the troubles of the Rev s.
L. Desha, who, it was stated, had been
| accused by a local publication of the
| horrible crime of swiping luau supplies
Mr.. Desha admitted the loss of half a.
side of bacon, and deeply regretted it.
1t appeared that he had secured a
| whole side of bacon and had cut it in
half. He admitted having left one-half
| out of his sight for few minutes. and
said that when he next looked for if
the place where it was knew it not.
This tragedy was the only thing that
attempted to mar the general pleasure
which the committee took in the ac-
knowledged fact that the luau was a
success and had been excellently man
aged.
