ANOTHER MISSING MAN. A Pomona Man Walks From His House Into the Unfindable. A special dispatch from Pomona states that lot about ten days Albert M. Metz ger has been missing from his beautiful ranch home, west of Spadra, in this vicinity, and his wife and children are beside themselves with grief at his loss. Metzger started on the morning of Saturday, June 27th. to buy a few household articles at the country store, two miles from his house. He has not been seen or heard of since. His dis appearance could not be more complete. His wife and friends have done all pos sible to find the missing man or get some clue to his whereabouts, but they liave been unsuccessful. No motive can be assigned for Metzger leaving his home so suddenly and silently. Messengers have been sent out to hunt for the man, but they can learn nothing. Metzger owns over |50,000 worth of property in this valley, and has always been an upright, industrious and honest man. He is very religious and charit able. He was once a merchant in Red Bluff, and has two sisters and many nieces and nephews in San Francisco and Stockton. His age is 51, and his height is 5 feet 10 inches. He is very bald and has a full gray beard and fine set otnatural teeth. MUIR PAID HIS FARE. A Railroad King Has to Pungle Up a Nickel. Mr. J. A. Muir has had a great deal to do with giving passes, and he has always been liberally inclined about such mat ters. Yesterday he had a little expe rience which will make him sympathize more than ever with those unhappy beings to think; they ought to have free transportation, but who have been left off the list. Mr. Muir stood yesterday morning at the corner of Main and Fourth streets, admiring his new electric railway. The evenly laid rails, the symmetrical poles, the burnished copper wire, all appealed successfully to his sense of beauty. Soon the warning sound of a gong was heard, and a car came along and Mr. Muir got on board to go to his office at the Arcade depot. Now it hap pened that Captain Bariett had put a man on as conductor of that car who bad not been but a few days in the city, and who did not know Mr. Muir. As the latter gentleman settled himself com fortably in his seat his ear was assailed by the sound of the unusual words to him: "Fare, please." Muir smiled at the man and replied, "I'm Muir." "That's all right, but I want your nickel," was the answer. The other passengers began to get in terested, and Mr. Muir again explained: "I'm Mr, Muir. I'm an officer of the road. That's all right, my man; I don't pay any fare." THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1891. 'Tf you don't pay fare or show a pass you don't ride. See?" answered the conductor. "I don't know anything about any officers who don't carry passes." Why, of course, Mr. Muir had a pass. He felt in this pocket and that, and began to perspire, for no pass could he find. The conductor smiled triumph antly, and stopped the car. "Now you'll nave to get off," he said, "or pay your fare." Mr. Muir told the man that he was taking just the right course, and that he didn't blame him a bit. "Of course I'll pay," he added. "I thought you knew me, and that I had my purse, br I would have paid you in the first place," and he put his hand in his pocket to get a nickel. There was no such coin there, or any other kind. It was the same in the other pocket. He had forgotten to put both his money and his book of passes in his clothes that morning. The passengers commenced to smile, and Muir felt as if some Salton weather had struck the town. Just as the situation was becoming too tense to be comfort able, an acquaintance of the embarrassed railroad king, who had sat out of sight and enjoyed his dilemma, came forward and loaned him a nickel. The conduc tor rang, the car went on and Mr. Muir sat down and mopped off his forehead. SANTA MONICA. Temperature at noon 70.

The following matter explains itself: Since a number of articles have re cently appeared in ourcity papers, tend ing to influence tbe mind of the public against tbe wisdom and justice of Judge Smith's decision in the case of Anna Pe terson vs. S. J. Fleming, the members of the Woman's Christian Temperance union of Los Angeles feel it to be their duty to publicly express their approval of that decision, whereby a man of so cial influence, and one who has stood be fore tha people as a teacher of moral and spiritual truths, has had pronounced upon him, an enemy of purity, a punish ment which will impress upon such men the fact that the law does offer some protection to working girls, and that the better portion of tbe community abhors such sins. It is a matter for congratulation that we have upon the bench some judges who have the moral courage to mete out to men,who are proven guilty oi such of fenses, a merited punishment. We need more of the same clear-cut justice. Executive Committee of the W. C. T. U. NO WATER. People on the Hills Without Power to Fight Fire. The families living on the hills in the vicinity of Westlake park, are complain ing of the fact that the water company furnishing their district is in the habit of turning off the supply of late after dark, thus in the event of fire removing all protection.

The house had in some way caught on fire, and there was no water on hand. Fortunately, some neighbors arrived in time to save the house. Oue of them, Mr.'H. H.

REDDICK IN AUSTIN. The Lawyer and His Frail Companion Located. Laßt winter the Herald announced the flight of Charles R. Reddick from this city in company with a prostitute named Lily Stephens, with whom he was infatuated. Reddick had a wife and children here, was successfully practicing law and had political aspira tions. He became completely entangled in a liason with the woman mentioned, how ever, and one afternoon they packed their trunks and vanished. Since then until yesterday nothing has been heard from the wretched couple. Yes terday a Herald reporter was told, on very good authority, that the two were living in Austin, Texas. The occupa tion followed by young Reddick was not given, but it is moie than likely that he has fallen'to the level of his companion. Mr. Clark, to the Public.
