OLD SCOUTS PASSING.

the west are crossing the great divide
never to return. Many Of the early
settlers will remember the familiar
form Of Scout Packer. who. years ago
endured untold hardships on the from
tier, who rendered such valuable SER
vice to General Custer in his cam
paign against the savage red men,
and who, in later years when on a
long journey across the continental
divide with four companions and be-
coming lost in the fastness of the
mountains, was accused Of killing and

DREAM SAVED $4,000.

A dream saved Max link $4,000,
says the New York World. This is
how 1t happened: link has been for
25 years the chef at Fordham uni
versity. He did not believe in banks,
so he carried his savings in his
clothes. The police warned him and
so did the college professors. but he
laughed at them.
Max dreamed on Tuesday night
that he was being knocked down and
robbed. The dream was so realistic
that he hurried to the bank and de-
posted his hoard, $4,000. While
wll.lng in a dark lane in the univer-
sity grounds Wednesday night he was
set upon by a man, who felled him
with a club and robbed him. But all
the thief got was links gold watch
and S17.
After recovering consciousness the
chef got his wounds dressed in the
university hospital and told the police

MAN BEHIND THE RAILROAD.

ties, an index to certain temper

They are ultra-human affairs. The
earDarks Of men are seen in every
feature Of the management.
During the blockade Of the o. r. &

opportunity 10 study railroading from
close range. The men behind the
railroad have been brought into pub
lie view and those who are wont to
curse corporations in general have
been Introduced to the men behind

work Of clearing the track the men
behind the road were out at the front
directing the fight with the elements.
No passenger on the list was as
anxious to open the road as the Of

the power OF the management was
being done for the comfort Of the
rGbEc, but there are certain limits
whi-h cnnfine even the efforts of a
railroad.
One Of the most striking incidents
Of the blockade Of the o. r. & y.
was witnessed at The Dalles -Wednes-

CONTINUE WORK
FOR ANOTHER WEEK
In Three Wards Much Remains to Be
Done, and Spotless Town
Squads Will Be Con-
centrated There

The city council will hold a special ses-
sion Friday afternoon to authorize an ex-
tension of the cleanup campaign for an
other week.
The work so far as brought such ex-
cellent results. the health board reports,
and the expeditures have been so far
below the estimates that it is believed
there will be no trouble in obtaining a
unanimous vote to extend the work.
Three of the wards are far from cleaned
up as yet, but in most of the others the
inspections will be concluded within a few
days.
The months appropriation will end at
midnight Saturday and as1the council
will not meet till Monday the special
session is necessary to prevent a day s
cessation Of work.
During the final week most of the
laborers and teams will be concentrated
in the three wards where they are most
reeded. This will clear these districts
of hundreds of wagonloads of accumu-
lated rubbish, which will be burned or
dumped as the circumstances justify.
1t is necessary, Health Officer L.. M.
Powers says, that in any blocks where
the inspectors and laborers have been
that additional rubbish must be placed
il strong boxes or barrels so that 1t can
readily be dumped into wagon beds and
places where it can easily be reached.
Notice should be telephoned to the health
department or to the ward headquarters.

MIL " AUKEE SPORTS
GOT FANCY REPORT

Maybe some kind gent didn't slip one
over on the sports in that dear old
Milwaukee. The Evening Wisconsin,
of which the esteemed Thomas An
drews is writer on things pugilistic,
exhaled the following:
Sam Langford won his fourth battle
over Young Peter Jackson last night at
Los Angeles, after one of the hardest
fought contests ever witnessed in the
California arena. The men fought a
battle which would have been unani-
mously accepted as a draw up to and
including the fourteenth round, and
there was no second of time lost by
either mana steady rain of blows be-
ing exchanged that would have put any
ordinary fighter to sleep in much
shorter time. After the fourteenth
round, however, Langford began to
steadily gain a slight advantage, re-
tanning more strength than his oppon-
ent, but the succeeding rounds were
contested so bitterly by Young Peter
tat many of the spectators were un-
able to select the best man at the end.
However, to those at the ringside it
was plain that Jackson was the weaker
of the two and was being forced to hold
on to save himself"
Now, isn't it a sin to hand those mid
ile westerners such an awful bunch as
that? MANY were unable to select the
best man at the end" is it? Those
brewery dwellers must think all Los
Angeles is ready for the Blind Mans
home.
And then get wise to that after one
of the hardest fought battles" and so
forth That rides along in the same
sar as the first fourteen rounds being
even junk. and shows what the sports
mail out of this burg to their country
cousins. Hard luck Milwaukee.

SECOND TEAM
MEN TO PLAY
ST. vINcENTs AND HIGH WILL
MlNeLE TODAY
Game with Jackies Called off, as
Admiral Dayton's Squadron Was
About to Move-High Is
Disappointed

The football teams of the Los Angeles
high and those of the battleships of Ad-
miral Dayton's squadron seem to be in
the same boat, as none of them seems
to be able to secure any games with any
of the institutions in this part of the
state.
The local high appears to have had
worse luck than any other school in
Southern California in securing football
games. AT the beginning of the season
1t had a fine schedule, but since they
defeated Pomona and Occidental colleges
all the other schools have backed out
except Santa Ana, which will play them
Saturday.
The school seemed to have received the
hardest hit of all when the game with
Berkeley high, which was to have been
played Thanksgiving day, was called off
This was not the fault of the northern
boys, as they are forced to play the
Lick team again November 80 for the
northern championship.
Now the tars are feeling bit off them
selves, as they have been getting the
cold shoulder lately on the football deal
The teams Of the Colorado and the Penn
sylvania have been trying lately to Sc
cure a game with the high school team
but the boys of the Pennsylvania got
ahead of the other bunch and secured
a game for yesterday afternoon. When
the high team got down to the ships they
were compelled to call the game off, as
they were forced to stay on board, as the
ships were going to move.
These games with outsiders simply
serve as a means of securing practice for
the big games of the squadron league.
The league is composed of one team from
every batleship in the squadron. Each
team has to play a series of three games
with every other team in the league, and
the one that wins the greater number of
games takes the cup, which was present
ed to the league by Mr.. Corbin of the
Orient 1t is to be given to the team
that wins the championship of every
season.
The players themselves are not kept in
training as the men of the college teams
are, but they are simply forbidden to
smoke for couple of days before the
games come Off The coach is generally
some member of the crew, although some
of the teams have an outsider to coach
them, as the team of the Colorado which
has big Bill Treager to boost them along.
The teams have played games In all the
towns along the coast where they have
stopped, and they have tried to make ar
rangements with the different schools
here but have only succeeded in securing
two-one with u. S. c., which has been
played and the one with the high school,
which they were forced to call off.
After many weeks of squabbling the
second teams of the ST. Vincent and the
Los Angeles high will come together this
afternoon at Fiesta park. This game has
been scheduled for three or four dates,
but first one coach and then the other
would have it postponed for some small
reason, so it comes as quite relief to
the teams to know that they are at last
to have smash at each other.

May Escape Prison
Term

After remaining for fifteen months in
jail with sentence of ten years to the
state penitentiary staring him in the face
Irving Long was given another chance
yesterday when the court of appeals re-
versed the decision of the superior court
and ordered a new trial
Long was convicted of robbery, alleged
to have been committed in company with
Charles Vernand and A. c. Williams at
Sixth and Main streets February o, 1903.
The men were charged with taking $40 in
cash from James Friary. Vernand and
Williams were dismissed, but Long was
sentenced to two years. The sentence was
later suspended
On complaint that Long was abusing
his parole he was taken before Judge B.
N. Smith and sentenced to ten years in
prison. This decision of the court was re-
versed on the ground of error in admitting
certain evidence, which the court of ap-
peals held to be improper.

High VIII Not Request

1t is not every day in the term pupils
of the Los Angeles high school have a
chance to hear good music for a nickel
and the way they filled the auditorium
yesterday noon when the post-gradu-

This fund is used to send young
women to college, the money being ad-
vanced them until they are able to pay

cents year to this fund, but the So
ciety says this is the last term con-

MANY CURIOUS ARTICLES FOUND
IN LOAN SHOPS
Police Are Keeping Watch of Goods

"old Curiosity Shop"
Odd Collateral

In the course of running down the
thieves in this city the police have made
searches and Investigations in the local
pawn shops for any stolen goods which
may have been turned over to the pawn
brokers. A pawnbroker, while expected
to use as good judgment as possible in
his work, can hardly be incriminated for
receiving stolen goods, as he naturally
has no time to ask many questions or to
investigate his customers reputation.
''It's the oldest place in the world-a
pawnshop," remarked a police official
yesterday. "You would be surprised at
the peculiar articles that are pawned.
Every pawnshop is a Dickens Old Curl
cSity Shop over again. Only some Of them
are perhaps even more interesting than
the home of the loved character, Little

besides the ordinary articles of jewelry
and clothing many things of most odd
nature.
PaWned False Teeth
"Would you believe it If l told you that
man or woman would pawn false teeth
Nevertheless that is So One broker loaned
| a man money on a false set of molarS for
the gold they had in them-two gold teeth
| in which the wearer probably took great
pride.
"In another place a cripple pawned a
set of artificial limbs. How he managed
to navigate out of the shop after parting
with his means of walking I fail to see.
Another man pawned his glass eye. 1t
must be pretty tough when one is brought
down to that.
Wedding Rings Also
"Wedding rings are found galore. Many

seal of her matronly virtue when hard
pressed, and some have not the decency
to redeem them. Engagement rings are
one of the commonest of pledges. Ro-
nance and sentiment is cruelty oppressed
and driven from the human heart by
want.
James Russell Lowell in his poem of
The Sisters says that hunger and cold
are the poor mans truest friends. Not
meaning to contaminate the poets words
by odious comparison, perhaps 1t might
be said that the pawnbroker is the third
best friend the needy have.
'"The windows of a pawnshop give no
indication of these peculiarities, as most
| of the goods displayed are jewels. 1t is
| back to the grimy, notify recesses of his
store room that these things are found.
Oftentimes a quantity of baby's clothes
are found Think what mother must
undergo in suffering when obliged to take
the clothes from her infants back and
pawn them. It's queer world, but pride
prevents many people from asking char
ity, and they will pawn themselves before
going to friends for assistance.
'It reminds me Of the story they tell
of a we'll known actor-I won't mention
his name, less it should detract from his
fame-who pawned himself for bottle of
whisky, and his friends at the theater
had to come and redeem him so that he
might continue with his contract.
LAS l said before, it's queer world.
The police have not regained great
deal of the stolen goods through the
pawn shops. The criminals know that
there is where the police seek first of ALL
and are likely to take the stuff to other
| towns to realize on them.
