John Wilson, veteran of the Civil
War and former inmate of the Saw
telle soldiers home, was the victim of
two robbers early yesterday morning
and lost sos as the result of his ex-
perience.
Two years ago Wilson left Los An

cured employment as an iron worker,
but recently his health gave out and he
decided to return to Los Angeles and
again seek admission to the soldiers
home.
Wilson arrived in Los Angeles late
Friday night. He had about $50 when
he reached the city, but expended IS
for a few articles he needed. Late Fri
day night he entered the Two Johns
saloon on First street. There he met
several young men and drank with
them.
The next Wilson remembers he was
wandering about lower East First
street. He was without money and
even the few little articles he had pur-
chased were gone.
wilson then went to the police sta
ton. where he asked aid. Car fare
was given him and he was sent to the
Sawtelle home.

pretty feature of bungalow building
is the pergola. trellis having two lines
of parallel pillars which bear overhead
side rails and cross bars. Its mission Is
to support vines. The pergola serves as
a porch. veranda or shade for q walk.
Perhaps the finest feature to catch
the eye Is the roof. which Is expansive,
thus assuring comfort and shelter from
sun and rain. Bungalow roofing mater
iais include all kinds of shingles. shakes
and tilas.
