black-blue leather travelling bag
equipped with complete set of
toilet articles, all new; two watches,
one a gold Elgin and the other a
Gruen, white gold ladies' watch with
the initials "M.E.W." on the back.
A heavy gold bracelet and solid
gold watch chain were also among
the loot taken by the marauder.
Watson has not as yet made COM
plete checkup and other articles may
be accounted as missing on further
investigation. He said that every
drawer in the dresser was pulled out
and their contents scattered about
the bed room in search for jewelry
and other valuables.
An excellent description of three
suspects, two men and a woman who
were seen prowling about the Wat
son home during the Afternoon by a
nelghbor was given to the police and
a thorough search of all hotels and
rooming houses where such suspects
might live is being made.

Enter Dentists Office
s. Davidson of 632 South Sixth
street, also reported that someone
stole his brown overcoat and gloves
from his ear yesterday evening while
parked in front of the Southern bar
Der shop.
DR.. E. o. Carter, dentist, with off
ices in the Davis building, reported
the theft of over 800 worth of gold
from his office. This happened
about week ago. At the time, DR..
Carter thought he had mislaid the
metal but later investigation proved
that someone had entered his office
via the transom and had stolen the
gold. Photographs were taken of
fingerprints on the transom and are
being compared with others on file
in the county Jail in an effort to la,
cate the thief.
Chief Sterling Oswalt, while ex,
erting every effort to apprehend
these thieves, issued a warning to the
people that whenever a panhandler
or "mocher" makes his or her an
pearance at home, the occupant
should at once get in connection with
the police department and report
the matter. "We are convinced. !"
Oswalt said, "that 10oo of these
'mooehers'' are persons who visit
these homes merely to see if the
householder is home at the time.
If not, then he will try to enter
the house,
An intensive drive on all suspects
is being made in an effort to keen
the city free from the depredations

MANY MAR0ONED
IN HIGH AREAS
BY SN0WSTORM
Rescue Crews Working
To Push Through With
Food Supplies.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13. W.p)-
! Highway crews with all available
; snow clearing equipment were ready
early today to renew efforts at rescu
! ing scores of persons who went into
Southern California mountains for a
week end of winter sports, to be ma.
roOncd by the heaviest snowfall
there in three years.
Snow which had been piling up in
the San Bernardino range for sew
cral days, lurcd hundreds Of fun
seekers from cities Of this region.
They found as much as five feet of
snow in some sections, but when a
blizzard swept across the mountains
Sunday, skis and tobaggans were
abandoned for shovels.
Many who had not pentrated far
into the snow country, bucked their
automobiles through heavy drifts
and returned to civilization.
Higher up however, scores of 9TH
crs were forced into the shelter of
cabins and mduntain resorts, among
the latter the famous Arrowhead
Lake.
Most of those marooned were be-
lieved to have sufficient food for
several days and in the protection of
their cabins are not considered to be
in danger. 1t will require three or
four days for snowplows to cut
through to some of the settlements
however, without renewal of the
storm.
Fear was expressed for some hik-
crs who may have gone too far into
the mountains, but at a late hour last
night none had been reported miss
ing.
Family Rescued
A mother and her three children
were found exhausted yesterday af-
ter a searching party had combed
the snowy wastes near Forest Home
resort. They became lost while at
tempting to return to their cabin
from the resort.
From Arrowhead Lake trappers
set out on snowshoes to take food
to two girl campers reported with
out Supplies or adequate shelter in
that region.
Telephone communications fer the
most part, have been cut off for sew
eral days between valley cities and
the higher reaches where winter
Fairgrounds are located.
Only one death as result of the
storm had been reported last night.
Morris Feldman, ~, was killed when
an electric train struck his automo-
bile near Etiwanda. An midenti-
fled woman found with him, was
seriously injured. Feldman was be-
lieved blinded by the storm.
And while the snow swirled
around mountain peaks, Los Angeles
was drenchcd by intermittent rains.

Illness, or love. or faith. And those are things that we
cannot get along without. To be deprived Of them is to
know how terrible loneliness can really be.
So It Is that we reach out our hands and grope to one
another. II we are fortunate. we find someone with
whom we can be in tune. someone with whom we can
share our hurts and disappointments; and then the
loneliness ends. Is far Is 1t ever can end. on this earth.
But some are not 50 fortunate, and they have to 60 on
cropping; or they think that their search IS ended, only
to discover later that the union and comradeship they
sought is not where they supposed it was.
They have to resume their search, and we may imagine
that that is how It was. 20 years ago. with this Pennsyl-
vania couple. And 1t doesn't take much imagination to
trace the pathetic little story from there to the end.
Loneliness grew until it was too much for them: and they
discovered, at last, that each, after all. was the comrade
the other needed.
