disadvantage that he could do but little

the cage when he W - tackled by two
more prisoners. One Of them bit him
OH the arm and another struck him 4
heavy blow in the face. The blow daZcd
him, but he soon recovered and showed
the men into the cage. lie then rushed

! held the men 1T bay.
While the fight WAS going on one of
the prisoners. held to appear before the
grand jury on the charge of robbery,
made his escape. David Williams, Il
cOlOrcd man, serving IL 10 days sentence
for carrying concealed weapons, also
got ont. But instead of running away,
Williams gave the alarm. \ crowd of
men soon gathered at the Jail, but the
trouble was all over by the time assist
anCc came.
The escaped prisoner struck ont to-
ward the eastern part of town, but no one
SAW him after he left the Jail until he
passed through the alley back of Mr.

PASADENA BRIEF NOTES

PASADENA, Sept 21.-At Throop
Polytechnic institute about 100 students
had registered up to this evening.
That the family of Frank Pima, Mex
lean laborer who was injured While
fighting forest fires back of La Canada,
is in destitute circumstances was made
public today. Pima has nine children,
the oldest of whom is 15 years OF age
and lives on South Broadway.
Manager Fred b. Ross of the Mount
Wilson hotel returned today from
6O-mile journey to Barley Flats and
back through the region burned over
by recent forest fires.
The Arroyo Seco Park association, of
which DIR. Rudolph Schiffman is
president, has issued an appeal to the
voters to purchase the water COM
panies' property, in order to secure
possession of the land which they own
i'm the Arroyo Seco.. 1t is stated that
over 400 acres there belong to the diff
ferent companies, which would make
an Invaluable nucleus for the proposed
park, the association declares.
Tony Karahalin, who was said TO
have embezzled money from his fellow
laborers on the plant of the Oak Hill
Water company, appeared in police
court this morning and pleaded guilty.
He was fined $25 and agreed to. pay
back the $50 embezzled. Officers Peck
and Schultz caught him at the Santa
Fe station as he was leaving for Texas.

FUND SET ASIDE FOR
'CARMELITA GARDENS
CITY COUNCIL EXPECTED TO
CONFIRM GRANT
Permanent Improvements Await Issue
of Bonds and Question of Lease Z
Makes Position One of
Much Difficulty
Especial to The Herald. ]

PASADENA, Sept. 21.-For the pur-
pose of transforming Carmelita gar
dens into public playground the board
of commissioners this afternoon voted
to appropriate $500, to be expended at
the discretion of the playground COM
mittee. The grant must be confirmed
by the council, and probably will be
brought up at the regular meeting to-
morrow morning.
The only stipulation is that a suit
ably executed lease be presented to the
mayor. 1t is thought there will be no
difficulty about this, as the commits
sioners and council fully understand
the situation.
Because of the fact that the Carme-
lita Gardens association hopes to erect
an auditorium on it's property before
next summer the only lease it will give
is practically from month to month.
In this way it's property will not be
tied up if it secures the funds for the
erection of the auditorium.
AS the tenure is so indefinite the
playground committee will not attempt
to make permanent improvements on
the size, but will expend the money
largely on apparatus which could easily
be moved TO another location.
Permanent Improvements will await
the expected issue of $50,0O0 bonds for
the improvement of Tournament park.
In this issue is included an appropria-
ton for transforming the park into
playground.
A swimming pool is the most attract
i've feature, but tennis basketball and
croquet courts as well as football and
baseball fields will also be established
there.

Ispecial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 21.--
Treat her kindly and you will not lack
your reward. Circumstances are such

Her parents"
Such was the inscription pinned to a
richly gowned infant that was left at
the home of Mrs. John Marshall of Mt.
Vernon avenue at an early hour Satur-
day morning.
The morning was scarcely beginning
to break when Mrs. Marshall was
awakened by a voice outside her win
dow with the message that there was
a package for her, and that if she
would open the screen 1t would be
passed through the window. She did
so.
As she turned from the window a
whimper in the package told her II was
an infant. and she hastily laid it down
and called to the retreating form out
side Almost before she could speak
the party sped down the street in an
auto and was gone.
The child is richly gowned and wears
a little gold ring, but there is nothing
on the clothing to identify it.
Some months ago another infant was
left with Mrs. Marshall, but its parent
age was discovered later.
