DR.. F. C. s. Saunders, unable to fur.
nish $4,000 bail, was committed to the

on two charges of forging the name of
Rudolph Spreckels of San Francisco to
a check for $1,000 on the Franco-A meri-
can bank of San Francisco, and of ut
tering a worthless check for $500 on the
Ocean Park bank.
DR.. Saunders pleaded for a speedy

Some ten days ago Brabender was
in court on a charge of disturbing the
peace as the result of fracas at the
home of Mrs. Mcintosh, 1850 Lawrence

to Mrs. Mcintosh. who is frail little
woman and wholly unable to protect
herself from her ardent admirer, was
the cause of the trouble. Mr.. and Mrs.
e. B. Miller, who live in the same
house, did what they could to discour-
age Brabender by throwing him out
of the house. The charge of disturbing
the peace was altered to threat to
kill"
DR.. William f. Pritchard, Mrs. Nc
Intosh's physician, testified that he
had taken her to his home as a pro-
lection against her admirer.
The testimony that led up to the
somewhat remarkable question asked
by Attorney Hutchisan in his cross
examination of Miller was something
like this:
when Brabender tried to enter the
house what did he say to you?"

CONTEST NO. 3

Motorcycles, scholarships, wheels and
other premiums have certainly aroused
interest in the contest for young men.
Among the hustlers for one of the
above prizes The Herald presents Nor
man Smith, the hustler of Monrovia.
His picture, taken as he was about tC
get busy, shows his enterprising and
happy spirit. Norman, who is IA years
of age and pupil in the eighth grade
of the Charlotte avenue school of Mon
rovia, is a son of R. r. Smith, one of
the leading citizens of one of the pros
porous cities of Southern California
that is Monrovia. Norman Smith is
universally liked by both teachers ard
fellow pupils, being a leader when there
is anything doing. Full of patriotic
spirit, he feels that Monrovia should
carry off the 'honors in The Heralds
contest and is putting his shoulder to
the wheel to accomplish the same.

human interest that appeals to
'verybody. The chance to see
