pretty thoroughly startled today, If not
quite frightened. This morning Waths

papers upon A. J. King, formerly of South
Pasadena. King had contracted a debt of
MO with Bangham Brothers, the coal and
bay dealers. The Banghama sued King
ghaut sis months ago, and obtained Judg
ment for the amount. King, however,,
avoided payment by showing that his
home was homesteaded to his wife. The
constable got wind ot the fact that this
homestead had been sold and that King
and family were living on a ranch near
Norwalk. Wallis took his wheel with him
and rode from Norwalk to the ranch,
Neither Mrs. King nor Mr. King were at
boms. Wallis watted until King arrived.
He was too drunk to unhitch bis team, and
while King was sifting in bis buggy Wallis
served the papers. Then the tun began.
King, who has a past bad record, be hav
lag killed one man in Colorado, It Is said,
burst into a rage and ran into the house-
HIS Step-daughters told Wallis to flee, as
tbe man was going for a shotgun. Wallis
bravely stayed. King returned, shotgun
and all. "There," he said, pointing to the
pasture, "are the cows. I want to see
you take them. I Just want to see you do
It. But If yqu do, you, I'll shoot
you." The man flourished ths cocked shot
gun in the constable's face, said it was
leaded with buckshot end explained Just
bow and where be would shoot him. King
took the attachment papers and read them
and then tore them to bits. He escorted
Wallis through the barnyard and through
the parlor, exhibiting all bis possessions,
from hogs to pianos, and Inviting the con
stable to take them If be dared. "I don't
want them," replied Wallis. "i don't want
anything to do with you. I'll see the
Bangham Brothers and And out what they
Want done." The oonstable started for his
wheel, but the rancher wouldn't let him
go. Finally Wallis coaxed King away
from ths house, where he had left the shot
gun. Then be Jumped on his wheel and
made off at a rattling gait. King, seeing
himself outwitted, gave up pursuit Wallis
rode to Norwalk, two miles away, and con
sulted Deputy Sheriff Holgato. While
tiolgate and Wallis were talking King en
tered and remarked that Wallis was the
man he was looking for. "Are you armed?"
asked the constable. Upon receiving a re
ply in the negative, Wallis nimbly clasped
• pair of band-cuffs on King's hands.
King resisted, but was quieted down, and
taken by Wallis te tbe county Jail and
locked up in default Of WO ball, Tbe
ehsrge against bun is assault with a deadly
weapon. Later Wallis returned to Pasa
dena and before Justice Merrlam swore

ONE OF THEM CAUGHT
Jackson Nabbed in Denver—Clay Still
at Large
RIVERSIDE, March 18.—D. T. Jackson,
a smooth confidence operator, who, with
H. W. Clay, robbed Ike Wltherspoon ot
this city on a mining deal, is in the hands of
the Denver police, and he will have to ex
plain his crooked ways in this county.
Sheriff Johnson received a dispatch from
J. F. Farley, chief of police of Denver,
this evening, saying that Jackson was un
der arrest. It is not known in what direc
tion Clay has gone. He left Colton a day
later than his pal, and it is thought he may
be hiding somewhere in Southern Califor
nia. The baggage of both men ls still'in
Colton, which points to a very hurried de
parture. Sheriff Johnson will start for
Sacramento tomorrow for requisition pa
pers, and will go right through to Denver
to bring Jackson back here. The sheriff
expects to hear of Clay's arrest at any mo
ment.
WERE HIGH ROLLERS HERB
The capture of Jackson will be hailed
with delight by the various mine owners of
this section who were buncoed by him. but
an equal number of people desire to see his
partner, Clay, captured. Thus far nothing
has been learned of any big turn they suc
ceeded In making, but It is thought that
the pair were playing tor big stakes and
made some kind of a highly profitable turn
while in Southern California. They seemed
to reek with money while at the Van Nuys
hotel, for a visitor who called on them
says he saw at least M 0 in halves, dollars
and quarters lying in a bowl on the fable,
this money being for fees and petty bills.
They drank nothing but wine and were the
highest kind of rollers.

Weather and Bureau
RIVERSIDE, March 18.-There was »
slight rainfall in this* section last night,
and the fruit men are thankful for it for
the reason that the weather bureau prom
ised a cold wave that would kill the fruit
buds. The only saving clause the bureau
provided was that there might be a shower,
ln which case tbe fruit would be saved,
and the shower came. It was light,
amounting to only .10 of an inch, but then
It was sufficient. A really cold spell or
night hers now Would do a great deal of
damage, for the deciduous, as well as
citrus, blossoms are all abloom and in tbe
very stage when they would be easily
killed.
The report from the eastern portions of
tbe county, where are situated the grain
ranches, Is to the effect that the rain WM
somewhat heavier, but tbe ranchers are
net satisfied, as they want at least an
inch of rain right now. If tbe crops are
to be made of any great value,
Dearth of Candidates
RIVERSIDE, March I*,-The nonpar

appointed by the meeting te nil eny place*
on the ticket made vacant by resignations
ar* at work trying to secure a good man
to tske Mr. Grant's place, but so fsr have
not succeeded. There is no salary attached
to the office of trustee, and business men
ds set like to accept an office which re
quires at least Aye days' time each month
Just for tbe honor of office. The Republican
ticket lacks two nominees and tfte Non
partisan one, and as the nominations must
be certified to wltb the city clerk before
the close of business tomcrrow there is
soma lively bustling around for availa

standing.
Music, fife and drum, "Yankee Doodle."

up what all concede to be one of the pleas
antest and most successful events of home
life.
The program and menu, which wae from
the press of McDermott and Carolan, was
a most appropriate work of arb and will
be long treasured by the old boys as a
pleasing souvenir.
Monday, the 21st, the civilian employes
and extra duty men of the Soldiers' Home
will receive pay for the labor done at the
home during the month of February. This
Is ln addition to the money paid the pen
sioners and means a large amount of mon
ey put ln circulation.
Thursday, the 17th, St. Patrick's day, was
certainly a green ribbon day at the homo,
as the pensioners to the number of 1200 and
more were paid their quarterly pensions.

as the old boys as a rule distribute the mon
ey as fast as they receive It, though of
course (here are some notable exceptions.

another church to go only so far as the
money would reach. The rector, Rev. J.

Unsatisfactory Paving
RIVERSIDE, March 18.—The city will
again try to make respectable streets out
of the asphalt pavement, which has so far
deteriorated as to be about useless. Tho
superintendent of streets has been in

making repairs at once. It is estimated
that it will cost something like $200 a block
to make anything like substantial repairs,
but the city will not spend anything like
that amount on the work at this time, for
the very good reason that tbe finances of
the city will not permit the outlay. The
asphalt pavement of the city has been
a costly experiment for the taxpayers.
Iq the first place It was a cheap experiment
on the part of the city and was laid on an
earth' foundation and has proved a fail
ure. It cost $40,000 in the first instance,
and it has been in use only about two
years, yet it is destroyed.

Kerosene
Two little children of Mrs. D. Nichols of
1081 Denver avenue narrowly escaped be
ing burned to death yesterday morning.
One of them was trying to light a Are

fortunately the names did not spread.
Mrs. Nichols was away from the house
at the time, leaving Willis, 7 years old,
to take care of a younger brother, who
has been ill in bed with pneumonia. Willie
wanted to light a fire, and, after several
unsuccessful attempts to make the wood
burn, got a cupful of the oil. and threw it
on the coals. Several of tllem were hot
and the oil immediately biased up into
the little fellow's face. The child's face
was terribly burned, his eyebrows being
burned away and bis hair badly singed.
He ran screaming into the yard In search
of his elder sister, leaving the invalid child
in bed. Tbe fire did not spread, however,
but went out as soon as the oil had been
consumed. Dr. W. M. Johnson was sum
moned and dressed the little fellow's in
juries. The sick brother was within five
feet of the stove, but escaped any burps.
