THIRTY LONG DAYS TO THINK
MR. CRANE AND SQUIRE BAR
CLAY WILL HAVE IT OUT
Constable Sianker Does Los Angeles
an. Unusual Honor—Crandall
Case Again—Notes
Isabel Knowles (colored) pleaded
gWlty to a charge of petty larceny In
Justice Young's court yesterday and
was sentenced to pay a fine of $80 or
serve a term of thirty days in. the county-
Jail. Shewas unable to pay the fine, anl
went to Jail. The young woman was
awaking trial on a charge of burglary,
but was permitted to plead to the minor
charge on account of being in a delicate
condition.
About 11:43 o'clock on the night of the
6th inst. Isabel went to ihe home of
Mrs. Filmay Veale, at No, 119% East
First street, openedr the front door and
walked into the hall. There she found
a truck, belonging to Lessie Sawyer, but
which was being held for some rent due
from Miss Sawyer. She found, also, a
trunk which belonged to Mrs. Veale,
«nd from the two trunks she secured a
good.-sized bundle, which contained a
child's silver set of knife, fork and
spoon and a set of silver spoons.
At this point, Mrs. Veale's daughter
Nellie, who was in bed', awoke, and, see
ing the young woman ransacking the
trunks, Inquired) sleepily what she was
doing. Isfabel assured the girl that Miss
Sawyer had sent her for her things. She
made he-r exit just before Mrs. Veale re
turned from a theater.
Isabel gave the child's silver set to
Myrtle Reed of 312 East Second street,
and the silver spoons to Mrs. Lottie Mc-
Knlght of San Pedro. When arrested
she told, a gauzy story of having taken
with her on her midnight visit a set of
silverware exactly like the ones she took
from the Veale home, and she said she
had picked up the Veale silverware by
mistake when she left. As Mrs. Veale
said she hadi not found the silverware
mentioned by Isabel, after her visit,
Isabel's story would.n't hold water.
The young lady will have thirty days,
undis-turbed by the rush of affairs, t';
ruminate on how easy it is to get into
■trouble and how hard it is to get out of it.
RONEY WANTS JUSTICE
n,nd, Incidentally, Some Damages for
Imprisonment
Attorney C. B. I.add, says he will begin
as action for $299 damages against Jus
tice of the Peace Barclay of San Fernan-
Ido tomorrow for Roney Crane. Crane
! has a kaleidoscopic reputation of vivid
I hues. He has been. In more trouble, of
I more varied character, and on more oc
casions, than lots of people who think
they are famous, but he lias never been
convicted of a crime. .\nd he is<all torn
up because Justice Barclay got a cinch
on him and l threw him into the county
jail for contempt. This happened dur
ing the preliminary examination of one
Perez, who was tried and acquitted on
the charge of murdering a countryman
in a saloon row at San Fernando. Crane
was subpoenaed to attend, the examina
tion as a witness, but aid not show up.
Justice Barclay sentenced him to the
county jail for two days for his con
tumacy, and Roney, speaking through
Mr. Ladd. says the Justice could' not
sentence him legally for longer than one
day, and that he is liable in damages
for the second day's imprisonment.
ME. SLANKEB DEOPS IN
And Personally Delivers a Hold-over
Prisoner at the Jail
George Lustic, who, with John Ray,
was convicted of petty larceny for tak
ing some walnuts from a tree at Pomo
na and sentenced to a term of twenty
days, arrived* at the county jail yester
day. The two men were arrested by
Constable Sianker and were tried and
convicted at the same time and on the
fame evidence. Sianker sent Ray in with
a man who gave the name of Barker, on
the dtay of the double conviction, last
Friday, and held Lustic back till yester
day. He did not do as usual, and send
Lustic in with a friend, but brought him
in personally. Lustic sees nothing ludi
crously exhilarating in the manner of
executing justice at Pomona, for his
term of sentence did not begin to run til!
he reached the county jail, and, there
fore, he will have to serve one day more
than his partner, Ray. But Sianker Is
happy. He made another siring of mile
age by running the two men over singly

The meeting of the finance committee

ceptionally heavy,, and occupied some
time.
In the matter of the expenses of the
bond election one thousand' dollars was
ordered transferred from the tax fund
of 1896-97 to cover the deficit in that
quarter.
The petition of H. Hood and others,
who are in the fruit business, and who

City Hall Notes
The Southern Pacific company paid
$2200 into the tax collector's office yester
day for assessments on the franchise
and other small property not Included in
the assessments paid to the state. Fri
day payments ran considerably over the
average, amounting in all to $6000, the
largest receipts for one day during the
last four weeks.
As a result of the change In the li
brary system recently, whereby fiction
was separated from the class bf books
known as "Useful Arts" andi "Scientific
Works," the circulation of the latter
class has grown four times as large, andt
that of Action has visibly decreased,
i The attendants are, as a body, greatly
pleased with the change, and now that
the difficulty of the first few weeks has
diminished are able to handle the books
in a much more expedJtlous manner.
The contract for furnishing the city
jail with meat expires on October 30th,

plaoed by the Los Angeles Electric com
pany, at a cost of $9.50 for each arc light

BURGLAR GANG CAPTURED
A Trio of Thieves Run in and Their
Plunder Recovered
Police Detectives Auble and Hawley
captured three burglars yesterday who
did several jobs aroundi Downey about
a week ago. They formerly operated In
this city and are known by the names
of Will Schafer, Will Ford and Irvte
Craig.
The gang left here with the intention
of working the small towns near by.
Downey was the first point visited,
where they broke into the bouse of C. E.
Feme, securing a gold watch and chain
and a supply of eatables. J. O. Butler's
residence was next visited. The thieves
carried away a suit of clothes and a
hat. They then decided to return to the
city and dispose of their plunder. Nego
tiations were entered Into with a certain
young fellow to sell the stuff. Here
they made a mistake, for this particular
individual happens to be known in. police
circles as a stool pigeon and he piped to
the detectives. In this way the burg
lar gang was located and yesterday the
officers placed them under arrest The
stolen property was all recovered. The
officers have a clear case against the
men and will doubtless be able to send
them over the road to the penitentiary.
