GLAD OF HIS ELECTION

All Los Angeles members of the or

ing over the, election of Colonel James
A. Driffill of Oxnard as brigadier gen.
eral of the California brigade uniform
rank, Knights Of Pythias.
ut means that the headquarters OF
that brigade will be brought from San
Francisco to Los Angeles" remarked a
prominent Pythian who was instru-
mental in electing Colonel Drifill to
this position of honor.
mot only that, but it means that for
the first time since California had the
uniform rank of the Pythians the
brigade commander has been chosen
from the southern portion of the
state.
"It means also a great deal to the
city at large, as well as to local Pyth-
ians.
"The 100 officers of the uniform rank
of the Knights of Pythias, who are
meeting with the grand lodge at Long
Beach, had the best gathering I ever
saw. 1t was as good a body of repre-
sentative men and of sterling manhood
as I would wish to see anywhere.

companies south of the Tehachapi,
while the other regiments, the First,
Second, Fourth and Fifth, all from
Northern California, were arrayed
against us in their desire to have a

the uniform rank of the Knights Of

command of the President of the
United States, the same as the army
and navy. An officer of the uniform
rank has to spend 5000 or $500 year OF
his uniform and other expenses, while
the militia commander has about $15t

Special to The Herald.

Special TO The Herald
PASADENA, May 20.-Deputy A. w
Line and DIR. l.. H. M. De Biron OF
: the Humane society are investigating
a complaint received from Sierra Madre
that four fine work horses belonging to
Kay, a japanese contractor, were pol
soned by strychnine last night. If evil
dence can be secured the society prob
ably will lodge a complaint against the
offenders.
Kay returned to his place with a
load of hay at 8 o'clock last night, put
out his horses and fed them rolled
barley as usual. Being disturbed at
8 o'clock by kicking in the stable, he
investigated and found two of his ami
mails dead and two others struggling in
agony.
This morning City Marshal Galley had
specimens of some white particles
found in the feed examined and they
were pronounced strychnine.
Kay has been furnishing ranch hands
to farmers in the vicinity, and of late
has been obliged to discharge a num-
Der of them. The theory advanced is
that one of these, or possibly some
white persons, poisoned the animals out
of spite.
