-SA WINGS OF
YEARS STOLEN
ITALIANS MONEY DUG FROM
HIDING PLACE
VICTIM ALLEGES PLOT TO GET
HIS $1,000
Suspicion Points to Friend and Ledger
of Rafael BaIIeano as Thief.
Warrant Out for
Youth

Thirteen hundred dollars, the savings
of a lifetime, were stolen from their
hiding place beneath the home Of Rafael
Balleano In the alley between Lemon and
Mateo streets some time between Monday
night and yesterday morning.
Charlie a young iron molder, whose
last name is not known to the police but
who was befriended by Balleano, is sus-
pected of the theft and detectives and
police are trying to find him.
A John Doe warrant charging the boy
with burglary was issued. for his arrest
Yesterday afternoon. 1t Is known the
! boy formerly lived in San Francisco and
the police of that city were instructed by
telegraph yesterday to watch out FOR MIN.
| Balleano came to Los Angeles from
Italy twenty years ago. since tnat time
he has worked steadily as laborer and
F, has saved a portion of each weeks sal
ary.. Some time ago he purchased the
house In which he lived and had $1,000 left
This money he gave to q friend to keep
| for him and as weeks passed by he added
| to the sum.
| About a month ago a young man ap-
peared at the house and offered to rent
two rooms. He paid for them in advance
and soon he and Balleano became inti-
mate.
| The italian told his guest about the
money he had saved and was told he
ought to get it and keep 1t hidden In
his own home.
| This Balleano decided to do and went
to his friend for the money. 1t was
given to him and he took 1t to his house
and buried 1t in the cellar.
| Balleano then told his roomer about
getting the money and also told him
where it was hidden.
| Monday night the boy told Balleauo ht
was going to San Diego for a few days
and the Italian accompanied him to the
| station.
Early Friday night Balleano went tc
his hiding place intending to add to the
cash. On entering the place he fouDd
that the boards on the side of the build
| ing had been torn off. He hurried to the
place where the money had been buried
only to find it had been taken.
| Balleano notified the police. Officers
were detailed to search for the thief
They found piece of cloth hanging tc
a nail near where the board had beer
torn off and upon investigation foune
that Balleanos roomer had a shirt of the
| same material.
According the story Balleano told the
officers. several persons who live in Sar
Francisco knew he had the money an6
he thinks the boy was sent here by then
for the express purpose of stealing 1t.

ResnlratIon Important


The condition of the respiration mus
be carefully watched, and II there is
continuance or recurrence OF shallow
or quick breathing, the second syringe
| full of strychnia should be injected into
| the arm as before. This strychnia In
| lection may be repeated at fifteen min
ute intervals-one tablet at each 1n1ec-
ton until FIVE tablets have been given
or the breathing becomes more nearly
normal
The patient should not be allowed to
sleep for more than two hour contihu-
ously during the first twenty-four
hours. The bowels should be made to
move freely by means of cathartic pills,
salts or oil. Cheerful and encouraging
suggestions will do much to counteraet
the depression following the absorp-
tion of the poison.
Careful investigation and close OBJ
servation of properly authenticated
cases of rattlesnake poisoning have led
to the positive conclusion that man
nj good general health will stand an
even chance of recovery from rattle
snake strike without any treatment
whatever. With a hypodermic syringe
and proper remedies at hand, there is
no danger of a serious result.
Second-For minor surgical operations
the cocaine and morphine tablet should

in one teaspoonful of water and take up
a syringeful of the solution. Inject half
the quantity under the skin, not deep,
where the cut is to be made. Almost
Immediately the skin will become wax
like-this will indicate that the part is
benumbed. so that an incision can be
made without causing pain Make suf-
ficient number of injections to cover the
part to be cut. The surface benumbed
by each injection will be about the size
of 25-cent piece.
Third-For allaying intense pain and
physical suffering morphine should be
used by dissolving one tablet (one-quarter
grain) in about ten drops of water and
injecting 1t under the skin as near the
seat of the pain as possible. If the pain
is caused by some injury, such as a
broken bone or a severe burn, and is
likely to last, second tablet may be
given in fifteen minutes and third one
twenty minutes later. Pain is the anti
dotet for morphine, and as long as pain
exists there is no danger from much
larger dose than the above. If, how
ever the pain arisesb from some cause,

cussion of the Sunday theater prob

and The Land o. the Leal, the lat
ter in compliment to Mr.. Macdonald,
the speaker of the afternoon.

Washburn college scholarship, a pro-
ject suggested by Mrs. McCarter who
suggested that a sum of one hundred
dollars be raised by ten cent subscrip-
tons among the club women to be
loaned a Topeka girl for years

turned at her convenience. The
scholarship will be awarded for the
