Field Day for Opponents of Sunday
Concerts — Peculiar Accident to
Echo Mountain Burro.

Pasadena Agency,
•1 North Raymond Avenue.
Telephone, Main 1703.
PASADENA, Dec. 17.— The sight of
a bareheaded man with a brick in one
hand and uttering wild screams as he
ran caused much excitement this noon
on East Colorado street and caused
church going pedestrians to flee to the
neighboring houses to avoid meeting
the man face to face. Whenever the
wild-eyed man met a person he threat
ened all kinds of bodily violence. The
police were telephoned for and Officers
Longley and Copping hastened to the
corner of Lake avenue, and after a
lively struggle gathered the man In and
landed him In the city lock-up. He
was undoubtedly crazy and had to be
watched constantly to prevent his In
juring himself or other*. Ills name is
believed to be Frank -l'helnn, but his
residence could not be loarned. He waß
removed to the county hospital this
afternoon and when he waß gone the
local police brpathed easier.
Final Decision Tomorrow
Tomorrow forenoon the city commls- 1
sloners will finally paflH upon the nuPH
tlon of Sunday afternoon band concerts.
This, has been fluid day for those who
oppose the concerts and the matter has
been brought up in several churches
and petitions offered for signature. Two
petitions will be presented to the com
missioners by the church element to
morrow morning, one signed by voters
exclusively and one signed by the
women of the city. It Is expected that
the great mags of men and women
represented on these two petitions will
convince the commissioners that the
concerts are not wanted by a majority
of our people. On the other hand those
who favor the concerts have not been
particularly busy during the week, linn
In the belief that the names on their
previous petitions and the character of
the signer* will assure them a victory.
.Tonight It Is freely asserted that the
(question Is already nettled and that
tho. petitions are merely a matter of
form. All of the commissioners except
'Commissioner Wlndham are expected
to vote in favor of the concerts. If
they do Pasadena will have a grand
outdoor band concert next Sunday
afternoon in one of the city parks.
Burro's Peculiar Accident
During the past week most of the
burros belonging to the lit. Wilson
company have been busy at Echo
mountain, helping carry tools and ma
terial from the end of the street car
line to the summit of the mountain. It
has been a quiet week on Mt. Wilson
except at the summit, where every ef
fort Is being put forward to get the
new hotel ready for Christmas, a week
hence. Then the burros will be needed
again to carry the Christmas crowd to
the usual old-time celebration at the
peak. The laborers on Keho mountain
enjoyed some novel experiences during
the week in loading the burros, a pro
cess which has grown to be a science.
For a while the men insisted on put
ting the lighter part of the load near
est the patient little animal's back and
the heaviest on top with the result that
wheelbarrows and heavy bundles were
scattered all along the trail. At one
time a burro toppled off the narrow
trail and rolled several hundred feet
down the mountain, landing with his
heels In the air and his body comfort
ably resting in a wheelbarrow. Here
he remained for five or six hours until n
forest ranger came to the rescue and
worked his way down to the relief of
the burro, who was not in the least
injured. He had lodged In a place on
the slope which w;is almost out of
reach and the day laborers did not
know how to got to him.
All except two of the judges for the
Tournament of Hoses parade have

Value of Butterflies
When our Juniors see the common
white cabbage and sulphur wing but
terflies, or even the superb Monarch
and gorgeous Ajnx swallowtails, flit
ting through the fields or at tlmos city
streets they perhaps never give thought
to the fact thnt butterflies may bo of
commercial value. Hut such Is the
case. Bomo of our domestic butterflies,
on uccount of rarity, more than beauty,
command prices from one to several
dollars, which collectors gladly pay to
insure the completeness of their cab
inets. Dig prices ure paid for some of
the magnificent butterflies of the
Morpho und Papillo genera, which are
rainbow hued in colorH and span five
feet In wings. These nourish In tropi
cal countries, and it Im often neces
sary for museums to send out special
expeditions for them. They rango
from $10 to $100 in value.— Baltimore

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 17.^-A
young Englishman, supposed to be
Harold Grierson, died late last night
at the county hospital ■ ten minutes
after he had arrived at the institution
from Ki'cllluhls. The case Is one of
more or less mystery, as absolutely
nothing ig known as to the man, but
it Is believed he is connected with a
well known English family. Letters
were found in the man's clothing from
Attorney Vincent Neale of San Fran
cisco, Indicating that he was In the
habit of receiving remittances regu
larly through the attorney, but who
tho money came from is not known.
The man was arrested in Redlands
on a charge of being; drunk and locked
up in the city Jail. Taken before the
police court yesterday morning ha was
sentenced to five days In the city Jail.
Later in the dfty the oflleers discovered
the mail wax Kerlously ill. Ills condi
tion grew rapidly worse until It was
determined to remove him to the roun
ty honpltal where he died ten minutes
after urrlval.
A pont mortem showed the man was
In the last stages of consumption, but
that death was caused primarily by
pneumonia which had developed from
lying la tho .1.1.1 Jledlauds Jail.
Victim of Hold-up
Manuel TorreH, a well known and In
telligent Mexican, wan the victim of a
vli-iouß hold-up about midnight while
en route to hit) home. Two robbers
slugged him on the head mid face, In
flicting severe cuts and rendering him
unconiiciouH. They then robbed him
of his watch unrt chain and $8 In
money, leaving him unonngcious be
side the road. Later when he recov
ered his reason he crawled to a near
by houde and raised an alarm. Ton-en
was about six month* ago a victim of
another hold-up and was left In an un
conscious condition in the Lytlo creek
wash west of the city where the rob
ber* had forced him to go.
A bunch of half a dozen hoboes will
hereafter be careful about where they
build a tire to keep warm. \, it night
a party of that number camped In
the Lytle creek wash weßt of the city
and built a fire about an old log to
cooK their supper. The evening meal
was well under way when suddenly
there was un explosion, rock, wood und
supper all flew in every direction, three
of the men being badly hurt about the
face. An examination of the log re*
vealed the fact that at some time a
large charge of powder had been placed
in it for some reason, and this was
exploded by the flre.

with shrill sincerity songs of home

while on the bottom floor a group of

with great fervor an innocuous Imita^

From the eyes of many of the pris

new start tears fell and some of them
seemed to be genuinely impressed by
the songs and prayers of the women.
The Chinese, however, could only
be Impressed with a ;ap on the head
with a cleaver, and when the women
came to sing to them they only grunted
and proceeded with their game. "White
woman, hip dam fool," said one of the
children of tho sun. "My dealce; you
owee me llo' mutchee." Matches were
used aB chips In the Celestial sport.
When one of the women knelt to
pray for the poor benighted heathen

by the Chinese, and one' of them Bald:
