PASADENA, Oct. S.-Twenty men
today are circulating petitions ad-
dressed to the city council and water

sixty days after the first election.

the said purposes"
The second petition asks the water
companies "to extend or renew the
options for the sale of your respective
properties to the city of Pasadena upon
the same terms as heretofore agreed
upon with the city, in order that the
question of the purchase of your water
companies may again be submitted tc

TIES BICYCLE THIEF
TO SEAT OF BUGGY
OWNER FOLLOWS TRACKS ON
DAMP ROAD
Stops at House for Assistance, Obtains
Revolver and Brings His Prisoner
Safely Back to Santa
Monica
Especial to The Herald. ]


SANTA MONICA, oct. s.--W. ].
Nichols, a contractor living at 11SO
Fourth street, appeared a. police head
quarters this morning, bringing with
him an alleged bicycle thief tied Sc
curely to the seat of his buggy.
The prisoner, who gave the name or
John Doyle, was about 30 years old
and a typical hobo in appearance. A
search disclosed nothing in his pockets
except a half-smoked cigar stump,
which seemingly had been picked from
the streets.
When Mr.. Nichols discovered that his
wheel was missing this morning he I'M
mediately got into his buggy and pro-
ceeded to follow the track made by
his wheel on the damp road. The
marks led southward from santa
Monica, through OceaI. Park ana
Venice and thence along the Washing
ton road. A little beyond Fredericks
Nichols came in sight of a man rlolng
his stolen property.
Driving on past him the contractor
stopped at the home of M. w. Miller,
situated near by, and enlisted his aid.
Miller handed a revolver to Nichols,
and together the two men overlook and
passed the bicycle rider again. Leap
ing from the rig Nichols leveled the
gun at the man and commanded him
to throw up his hands. The wheelman
obeyed and his captors proceeded to
tie him securely to the buggy seat.
Doyle was given ninety days in the
county Jail.
OF late the thefts of many bicycles
have been reported in Santa Monica
and Sawtelle. Among those who have
lost wheels recently are B. Hinderer
and Benjamin Frizell of the Los An
geles Brick company.
1t is hoped that such action as that
taken by Mr.. Nichols will have the
desired effect and stop these thefts.
