TOUCHED AGAIN
Grain And Stock Offices Burglarized
Depot Tapped And Booze Confis-
Gated. Thieves Bold.

Some time Tuesday night, bur-
glars again got busy in our town,
breaking into the Grain and Stock
yard Offices but found nothing of
monetary value. At the depot an
entrance was made through the
freight office and eight quarts of
booze were taken. The penny gum
box was broken open but the con-
tente, over two hundred pennies
were not taken.
1t seems strange that all efforts to
capture these looters have hereto
fore been unavailing they seem to
cover their tracks 80 completely as
to defy detection or receive a hint
that it is time to hit the trail, any
way no arrests are ever made.

HIGHWAY ACT AND TAX
MEASURE THOUGHT BEATEN

Incomplete returns received and
tabulated up to last night indicated
that amendment No. 1 had lost
and that the state highway prop
osition had been defeated. Those
which Apparently were defeate / in Los
Angeles county are:
Senate amendment No. l, providing
for the separation Of state and local
taxation. the state highway act and
possibly assembly amendment No. IA,
relating to the right Of people to fish
in public water Of the state.
Those believed to have been ap-
proved are senate amendment No. II,
eXempting mortgages, deeds of trust
contracts or other obligations by which
debt is secured from taxation.
Senate amendment No. 36, relating
to the exchange of seats by judges of
superior courts when the eXigency de-
mands.
Senate amendment No. 3S, relating
to tie formation of new counties and
the altering of boundary lines of eX-
istng counties.
Senate amendment No. A, providing
for the classification of cities and
towns so as to regulate banking busi-
ness.
Assembly amendment No. &c. author
izing the city and county of San Fran
cisco to amend it's charter so that it
may borrow to aid the Panama-Pacific
exposition, the San Fran
