1t is an old score that Martinez was

he is said to have torn down the fence,
broken open the door to the dwelling

attacked his opponent, who in turn
parried the lunges of his adversary with
an ak. Barrama also used knife, and
after many wounds had been given and
taken by each Barrama left the place.
The aid of the police was sought by
Barrama and both were arrested. Each
pleaded guilty and Martinez, who is an
old offender and has been before Judge

MEXICAN TO BE CHARGED
WITH ROBBERY OF STORE

SANTA ANA, Dec. 2S.-Juan Perez,
a recent arrival from Mexico, was ar
rested Saturday evening on an electric
car bound for Los Angeles. In his
possession were found some of the
goods stolen from Bishops dry goods
store the night previous and Sc in
cash. The man boarded the car at q
crossing on the extreme outskirts of
the city and the conductor noticed that
he carried a new suit case and a new
coat over his arm.
Constable Smithwick happened to be
on the car and when the conductor
told him his suspicious, took the Mex
lean in charge and examined the suit
case.
Perez was taken to Los Angeles in
the hope that the police of that city
might be able to identify him and
connect him with some of the recent
robberies there, but Detectives Tala-
nantes and Rico were unable to make
anything of him, although both be-
lieve he is a professional thief.
Perez says the suit case and coat
were handed him by stranger just
as he boarded the car and he was
simply asked to take charge of them
until his arrival in Los Angeles. To-
day a complaint was sworn to, charg-
ing Perez with burglary.

PASADENA. Dec. 2s.-Capt. ]. H

he will erect a residence at a cost of

The annual parade of the Pasadena

Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene Prior OF Great
