AMAZED MAN WATCHES
HOLDUP Of JAPANESE
Victim Robbed of $50 and Watch
on a Lighted Street by
Three Negroes

While a witness stood by and looked
on in amaZement, too astonished to
| render assistance, Y. KitGmina, a Jap
anese, was held up by three negroes
under an electric light at First street
and Central avenue at O'Clock last
night and robbed of $50 and a watch.
At the time of the robbery number
of persons were going in and out of a
saloon less than fifty feet away and
persons were passing along the side
walks.
Kitamina, who lives at sos Ducom-
nun street, had just turned on to First
street from Central avenue when he
was confronted by three negroes, one
of whom presented a revolver to his
head and ordered him to keep quiet
At the same time the other two stepped
on each side of the victim and quickly
searched him. After getting the money
the negroes pointed west on First street
and told the japanese to hurry on his
way
John Smith, driver employed by the
Westlake stables, was sitting in hack
less than half a block away and saw
the robbery
Smith took the victim in the hack
and started to follow the highwaymen,
who went south in Central avenue.
The driver kept them in sight, hoping
to find a policeman or someone to as
sist him in apprehending the men. He
kept them in view until they reached
Fifth street without accostiig anyone
to help him catch the robbers. Smith
said the men turned west in Fifth
street, entered the Arcade station and
mingled with the crowds there.
The detectives were notified, but were
unable to find the bandits.

CONFESSED SHOPLIFTER
DENIED PRIVILEGE TO
ENTER STORES FOR YEAR

An odd restriction was placed on
Mrs. Maria Fernandez, confessed
shoplifter, by Judge Davis of the
criminal department of the superior
court yesterday when he denied her
the privilege of entering a store
of any kind for a year.
Mrs. Fernandez was arrested No
vember IA just outside of a Broad
way department store, where she
had stolen 254 yards of silk. She
was in company with Pasqual Gui-
terrez, who, she declares, taught
her to steal from stores, although he
denies guilt in the matter. He will
be tried February 6.
Having no work and having been
deserted by her husband in Juarez,
being a stranger in Los Angeles and
with three children dependent on
her, Mrs. Fernandez said that shop
lifting looked easy to her and ap-
peared to be the only way for her
to obtain a livelihood. She was
given probation for three years, the
restriction of not entering stores
applying only to the first. If she
wants anything she will have to
send some one to buy it.

.LLEWELLYN SUSPECTS
TRACED IN THE NORTH
Arrests Expected in San Fran
cisco in Connection with
Local Explosion

Arrests in San Francisco in connec-
tion with the dynamiting of the Level
lyn Iron works are expected almost
hourly according to police reports. 1t
was learned yesterday that the police
of that city have been at work since
the explosion, have traced the move
ments recently of certain persons,
and have put together a chain of cir
cumstances sufficiently incriminating
to warrant arrests being made at a
favorable opportunity.
Who these men are could not be
learned through the Los Angeles po
lice yesterday, as it has been decided
that every move of the investigation
shall be carried on secretly. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that at least one
of the individuals in the northern city
has been involved in dynamite jobs
in the east. and that another of the
gang is strongly suspected of being
implicated in similar work.
According to the San Francisco po-
lice, one of the men being watched
was seen to leave the Southern Pacific
station in that city at a time which in
dicates that he left Los Angeles on the
first train going north after the explo-
sion at the Llewellyn plant. He was
seen afterWard in company with two
other men who were once watched as
suspicious characters in San Francisco
but who disappeared several months
ago and were not seen again until this
week. 1t is said the San Francisco po-
lice are now waiting favorable oppor-
tunity for arresting the suspects.

DEPUTY FIRE CHIEF
BREAKS TWO RIBS BY
CHAMPION SNEEZE

Sneezing your head off is not
such an .extravagant expression as
it might appear and Battalion
Chief John G. Todd knows it, Todd
did not exactly sneeze his head off,
but he did sneeze so hard that he
broke two ribs and is laid up at
his home on account of it. Because
of his mishap Todd was given a
ten days leave of absence with pay.
Todd surely is playing in hard
luck. He be-an his annual vaca-
tion Deco ber and the next day
caught such a bad cold that he
had to go home and stay there. The
cold ran into pleurisy and he still
is afflicted with the trouble. The
pleurisy brought on the sneezing fit
that resulted in the broken ribs.
His vacation has expired while he
has been n lrsing his illness and he
cannot have another until next fall.

Becoming tired of sitting in a stuffy

to be pressed, c. Freeman, a sign
painter living at Seventh and Hill
streets, threw conventionality to the

Freeman walked to the corner, leaned
against a lamp post, and serenely
puffed a cigarette, glancing now and
then at some handsomely gowned
woman as she would avert her face and
hurry past him. Finishing the cigar
ette, the near to nature man decided
to stroll across the street and view
the holiday goods displayed in the show
windows of a department store.
Accordingly he made his way to the
desired spot and stood where the crowd
was thickest. At first his presence was
unnoticed. Suddenly a severe appear

exclamation and rushed away. This
