SANTA MONICA, May 11.-As Mr..
and Mrs. Frank e. Bundy of the Pali-
sades we're entering their residence
last night after having spent the even
ing in attendance at La Fiesta at Los
Angeles, a burglar dropped from an
overhead window and escaped. An in
vestigation of the premises showed
that the man had ransacked the house,
but had apparently taken nothing other
than a change purse containing a check
and a small amount of money.
The same fellow probably entered the
D. A. Hamburger residence, which was
also burglarized during the night, and
carried off several articles of minor
value. The local police investigated
both robberies today.

merry making throng that wended its
way everywhere. leaving trail of the

For the exclusive right to sell the
confetti a Los Angeles speculator paid
$3.50 to the local trade organization, and
that he profited handsomely by the deal
was the opinion of those who watched
his force Of twenty workers reap In
the nickels in exchange for the filled

the crowd guyed the spielers, sassed the
attendants, Ioked fu- at the EXHIBITS

This inscription was scrawled across
the back of an unmounted photograph
found upon the beach last night by
Officer Roy Taylor. The find was not
considered seriously by the police and
the photo was filed away with the
souvenirs of hundreds of other "jokes"
of similar character which have been
perpetrated here.
The face revealed in the picture is
that of a young man, about 20 years
old, apparently of the longshoreman

mischievous Shriner who had picked
up the picture somewhere left it on

 The thief entered the Dickson place Sunday night about II o'clock, shortly after Mrs. Dickson, who was alone. had retired. She heard the noise in the corral but paid no attention to it until the following morning, when she inves 'igated and found the animal gone.

(From Saturdays Daily.)


 With an uncnviablc criminal record, in which he has been accused and con victed of almost all character of crimes, ranging from murder to petty larceny, Albert Johnson, colorod, was arraigncd in the city recorders court, yesterday, on the charge of vagrancy, and threat cning bodily injury to his landlady, Mrs. Grisalda. and sentenced to serve thirty days at hard labor in the city jail.
 Johnson was only recently released from the county jail, where he served six months on petty larceny charge. He has spent the major portion of the past two years behind the bars for petty crimes.
 He was arrested yesterday morning on complaint of Mrs. Grisalda, who charges that he threatncd her with bodily injury without any provocation whatever. He plead not guilty to the charge. but the evidence of Officer George IIoislcr was so convincing. as to leave no doubt as ,o his guilt.
 Johnson became notorious many years ago, when, in company with a white man named Wilson, il is alleged. he assisted in the murder of man and wife, named Clevengcr. a, Buckskin Springs. The hodies of Mr. and Mrs. Clcvcngcr were burned at tlic scene of the crime, and all their personal ef- fleets. including horses ana wagon, were appropriated by Wilson and Johnson, who also took with them the adopted daughter of the Clcvcngcrs, who was witness to the double murder, but whose life they spared.
 William Mulvcnon, who was sheriff of this county at the time, took their trail as soon as the crimes were dis. covered. and followed them into kanab. Utah, where he discovered they bod sold horses and wagon and divided the proceeds, Wilson taking inc adopt. ed daughter of the Clcvcngors with him as his wife.
 Sheriff Mulvcnon followed Johnson $ trail into Nevada, travelling incognito, and representing that he was dcsirous of purchasing n ranch. He reached Il farm late in the evening, where John son was employed, and saw the negro there. After supper hc ehatted with the farmer and Johnson until bedtime, when all retired for the night, Johnson still being ignorant of the identity of Mulvcnon. After breakfast, the next morning, Johnson was engaged in hitching Mulvcnon s team, when hc was informed that he was under ar rest.
 Startled at his apprehension John. son suddenly said to Mulvcnon: "lf you want for the murder of them pco. you want me for the murder of them people in Arizona, you'd better go an' After lodging Johnson in the near
