iiattie's Marshal Figures in Shooting Affair

The usual peaceful serenity of the day was rudely shattered on last Monday by a fusilade of six teen or seventeen pistol shots from the shooting irons. in the hands of intrepid Marshal Cabaniss and his assistant.
 investigation developa5 the fact that the marshal was hot after a
 bootlegger, who had been ob- served plying his nefarious trade in the town. but many people gath cred the impression that the new bargain sale just started at the Union Saw Mill company's store had something to do with it. the sound of the shoots coming from that direction, and they hurried to the store. but finding out the real cause of the furry, they went no further but contented themselves with remaining at the store and in vesting some of their savings in the beautiful white waists and the new lot of canned goods that had been cut down to exceptionally low prices.

FIRST STEPS TAKEN
FOR PIER EXTENSION
MASS MEETING DECIDES TO
ASK FOR BOND ELECTION
Proposition Calls for Windward Wharf
to Be Lengthened 200 Feet to
Accommodate Ocean,
Going Vessels

OCEAN PARK, Feb. AT a meeting
of representative citizens at the Hotel
st. Mark last evening the proposition
for extending the pier was thoroughly
gone over and it was decided to ask
the trustees to present the question of
a bond issue to the people at their
meeting Monday evening, with the
understanding the pier is to be the
nucleus of a harbor and landing for
this bay.
The proposition calls for a 20O-foot
extension to Windward pier which will
give a convenient landing for ocean
going and coastWiSe vessels and will
be winged in order to furnish protec-
tion in heavy weather.
1t is pointed out if the people so de-
sire the structure can be used to carry
the outfall sewer to deep water, and
thus do away with the present nuisance
of having sewage deposited on the
beach,
IT is the intention Of the promoters
to hold public meeting which will be
asked to appoint a pier commission of
the proceeds of the bonds. The COM
mission will be empowered to act in
conjunction with the trustees and to
employ q board Of competent engineers
to supervise the construction of the
pier.
Most of the members Of the board of
trustees were present at the meeting,
and it is understood agreed to take the
initial steps at their first meeting to-
ward calling the bond election.

BELIEVES BODY OF SUICIDE
TO BE THAT OF HIS NEPHEW

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. AFTER
a more or less thorough investigation
of the unidentified suicide found here
last week, John Briener of Pasadena
has come to the conclusion the young
man was his nephew. Howard Pafen-
bach, who dropped out Of sight at
Redlands nearly three weeks ago, not
having occupied his room there since
that time. 1t is probable that arrange
ments will be made with Coroner Van
VIE tomorrow to have the body ex-
humed and make sure as to the identi-
fication.
The dead man had a handkerchief
which bore the laundry mark Of Brie-
ner, and it is known that he had one
of the handkerchiefs of his uncle, he
having spent Christmas at his uncles
home At that time his aunt gave him
a gray sweater. The dead man had on
such a sweater. These facts and the
one that he has not appeared at his
room seem to clinch the identity which
will be fully determined by exhuming
the body.

PASADENANS TO KEEP
LINCOLN'S CENTENARY
CHURCHES TO HAVE SPECIAL
CELEBRATIONS
G. A. r. Will Observe Anniversary OF
Birth of the Great Emancipator.
Schools to Have Appro-
pirate Exercises

PASADENA, Feb. 7.-Lincoln' s
birthday is to be generally celebrated
in Pasadena. Not only will the Grand
Army post hold special services but
nearly every church in the city plans
to observe the day with patriotic ad-
dresses and songs. 1t was at first the
ideas of the leaders of the churches to
have the members of the Grand Army
in small detachments be present al
each of the services, but this plan was
not favorably received by the veterans,
who had planned a celebration of their
own.
There will also be special exercises
In the schools during the day.
At the First Congregational church
the services will be unusually attrac-
tive. including a lecture on the life of
Iihcoln by the Rev. Robert r. Meri-
deth, pastor Of the church, and himself
a Grand Army man.
The negro citizens of the city are
planning a celebration of their own
which will be held in the Maccabee
auditorium. Rev. ]. H. Hill will de-
liver the Grafton and music will be
furnished by a choir of twenty-fiv
voices under the leadership Of Mrs.
Corine Hicks.

MYSTERY Turks IN
NOTE FOUND IN CAN
AUTHOR STATES PARTY is IN
GREAT DISTRESS
Direction Supposed to Have Beer
Taken Leads to Death Valley,
Where People May Have
Perished

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. Am
other desert tragedy seems to be
wrapped up in a note found Thursday
near the opening to Blacks canyon by
j. M. Wister and several other pros
pectors, who were making their way
across the hills.
The note, which had been placed in a
can, evidently had been there two or
three days, and read: I'VE are lost,
sick, out of food, but have a hi of a
lot of water. We have taken this trail
for Daggett. Dad Melrose, Howard
Lane, Mrs. Lane, George Irish, Mrs.
Irish and two children"
The trail which they say they took
leads not to Daggett, but to the Death
valley sink instead, and it is feared
they may have perished.
Wister and his party set out in search
of the lost people and hope to overtake
and save them, though they have fears
tb"-- will be unable to succeed.
The party is supposed to be on the
road from western Nevada to Daggett,
though that is simply a surmise. The
reference to water in the note is sup
posed to mean the heavy storms that
have swept over the desert Of late.

MAKE STRONG CASE FOR
CAUSE OF ADAMS DOWNFALL
Apple Has Figured In Various Aspects
in Worlds Social and PoIiti-
cal History

There is a mine Of quaint and super
Stitious customs connected with the
apple which would make capital read
ing if all the instances on record could
be gathered between the covers of a
volume, says the London Tit-BitS. The
apple in times past has been used as
an omen of luck-good and bad-suc-
cess in love and marriage, and in some
cases to ward off disease.
A curious yet romantic belief which
still exists in some parts of the south
of England is to fasten several apples
on strings, after which the strings are
hung and twirled before the fire. The
owner of the apple which first falls off
will soon be married. AS each ones
matrimony proceed. Single bliss is the
lot of the owner of the last apple left
on the string.
In times past the apple has played a
prominent part in the traditions of
Scotland, and even now in the High
lands the peeling of an apple to reveal
the letter of d; young girls future hus-
bands name is regarded with super
stitious awe. The romantic maiden pro-
cures a large apple and proceeds to
pare II. If the peel breaks then there
is q, calamity ahead and an interrupted
love. If it break twice, once while be-
ing pared and again while being
thrown. then it means still more dis
aster, for the twice parted peel means
twice parted love.
But If the peel be safely taken from
the apple, safely tossed around the
head three times and safely thrown to
the ground so that it makes a letter on
the floor, then it becomes an agent Of
fate, and as such will help the girl in
deciphering the first letter of her future
lovers name.
81
same time more Weirdlike and fearful
in character is the celebrated spell Of
eating an apple before a looking glass
with a view to discovering the inquir-
ers future husband, who, it is believed,
will be seen peeping over her shoulder.
Many of these traditions which were
taken so seriously by our ancestors
have developed in this enlightened age
into a pastime for merry social gather
ings. Some of the old Halloween Gus
toms, which are still believed in some
parts of the country, are turned into
forms of popular amusement. A nota-
BILE example of the custom is hanging
a stick horizontally by a string from
the ceiling. and putting a candle on the
one end and an apple on the other.
The stick being made to twirl rapidly,
the merrymakers in succession leap up
and snatch at the apple with their
teeth, no hands being allowed, but it
frequently happens that the candle
comes round before they are aware,
and scorches them in the face or
smothers them with grease.
more serious and recent custom,
however, consists of a bowl Of water
with number of apples floating about.
Fond mothers have to drop forks into
the water from a distance of about
four feet with the hope of piercing an
apple. If this is done successfully the
feat is said to protect their children
from catching cold.

W0MAN'S WHIM PROBABLY
SAVES LIVES OF PARTY
Pasadenans Keep Away from Sicily
Because Mrs. Scripps Took
Dislike to Trip

PASADENA, Feb. Word recently
received from Mr.. and Mrs. William
A. Scripps of Scripps' hall. Altadena
tells how a woman's whim prevented
the party from being in Sicily at the
time of the earthquake.
The Scripps and their travelling COM
paniOn, Mrs. Marie A. Fiske of West
California street, had all plans made
for spending the winter in southern
Italy, when the women of the party
took a sudden dislike to the trip and
at short notice insisted upon the aban-
donment of the plans and a journey up
the Nile.
Mrs. Scripps changed her mind the
day before the steamer which was to
have borne them to the feart of the
earthquake district was scheduled tC
sail. They would have disembarked al
Messina the day preceding that Of the
first disturbance.

MEXICAN VOLCANO IN AcTIoN:
SLIGHT EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS

MEXICO CITY, Feb. THE volcano
near the city of Colmina is in eruption.
1t is throwing out a great quantity of
ashes and punice stone. There is no
lava flowing, and the people are not
alarmed. Several slight earthquake
shocks have been reported from that
region within the last few days, but no
damage has been done.
This volcano emits smoke and flames
from its crater and can be seen every
night by ships many miles at sea.
Predictions of more severe eruptions
are made by seismologists.
MANILA, Feb. Late dispatches
from Tayabas province, extreme south
western part of Luzon, express the
opinion that what was believed to have
been an outburst of the volcano of Lag
mas was not an eruption, but merely
a great cloudburst over Mount Banahai.
The area damaged by the storm is ap-
parently very wide. The governor of
the province reports fields ruined, high
ways impossible and bridges destroyed.
Detachments of constabulary have
been ordered to ascend the mountains
to investigate the causes Of the disaster.
First reports were that an outbreak of
the volcano had occurred with "giant
explosion of water"

AUDUBON SOCIETY TRIES TO
FIND POISONER OF BIRDS

PASADENA. Feb. 7.-Officers of the
Audubon society of Pasadena have
begun a systematic hunt through the
east end of the city in the hopes OF
disclosing the person or persons who
are poisoning the song birds of that
section.
Many complaints have been received
of late from people who have found
dead birds about their yards and it is
believed someone is distributing poison
either with intent or so carelessly as
to make the distribution a menace to
the birds.
Dogs also have suffered, two vaIu-
able animals having met their death
during the past week through poison
In one case, where an autopsy was
held, the animals stomach was found
to contain poisoned raisins, such as are
used in poisoning gophers.
