CHINESE STORE ROBBED Two Men Tap Till In Sam Lee's Store While the Woman Converses With Celestial In the Rear Room Two men and a woman drove up to Sam Lee's store in Chinatown on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, tied their horse and entered the store. They were evidently opium fiends, and are said to have visited the place before. They drove over from Santa Ana, the rig being from Frank Clapp's livery. One of the men asked the attendant if he would kindly procure the woman a glass of water. Sam Lee was laying down in a rear room. The attendant walked to the rear of the premises, followed by the woman. He procured a glass of water for her, which she drank. She engaged him in conversation for probably ten minutes. When the two entered the storeroom the men were on the porch outside. The woman followed them, and they soon unhitched the horse, entered the buggy and drove off. While the woman and the chinaman were in the rear room, the two men pried open the drawer and stole $130 in silver. The Chinese were not suspicious that anything was wrong.

The woman followed them, and they soon unhitched the horse, entered the buggy and drove off. While the woman and the chinaman were in the rear room, the two men pried open the drawer and stole $130 in silver. The chinese were not suspicious that anything was wrong. Sam Lee later arose and on going to the drawer to make change found it empty. It was two hours thereafter before he informed the officers. Marshal Steadman telephoned officers in outlying towns. Sheriff Lacy was communicated with, and Fullerton and Orange officers were told of the theft. Officers at Santa Ana at once made a round of the livery stables, and at Clapp's barn found that the rig had been driven into the stable about 20 minutes before. A close watch on outgoing trains was kept, but no trace of the trio could be seen. One of the men wore a green sweater and light overcoat, the other a red and striped sweater. Shortly before midnight the man in the green sweater was arrested by Santa Ana officers. On Monday the other man in the red sweater and the woman were captured in a round house near the depot. About $90 was recovered. The trio gave gave the names of Roy Carson, C. W. Shurtz and Mary Stewart. Carson was brought here on Monday and identified by Sam Lee. Later in the day Sam Lee went to Santa Ana in company of Constable Litten and identified the other two. They were locked up charged with burglary. They will have their preliminary hearing before Judge Howard Friday morning at 9 o'clock. HELD IN $3000 BAIL The trio were brought over from Santa Ana by Constable Smithwick and Officer Jackson on Tuesday morning. They pleaded not guilty to a charge of burglary. Judge Howard held them on $3000 bail to appear for their hearing on Friday. Failing to put up bail, they were taken back to the county jail. Special services were held at Catholic church yesterday. Mass celebrated at 5, 8 and 10.30 o'clock statuary group representing the of the Saviour was exhibited.

Double Wedding A happy double wedding was celebrated in Los Angeles on Tuesday, when Miss Gertie Dean of Magnolia became the bride of Frank Goodrich of Artesia, and Mrs. Mabel Manuel the bride of Hugh Bradley of Victorville. Both brides are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Dean of Magnolia. The happy couples returned here on the evening train and a happy wedding feast was celebrated at the Dean home. Mr. Bradley is one of the foremen at the sugar factory at Los Alamitos. He and his new made wife will reside at that point. Mr. and Mrs. Goodrich will reside at Victorville, where the groom is a business man in prosperous circumstances. Roy Donaldson, employed as conductor of a freight train on the Santa Fe, had his foot crushed at Colton on Monday, and is now at his home in San Bernardino. He was in the act of stepping upon an engine, which was in rapid motion. Missing his footing his foot slipped under the wheels and was crushed. Mr. Donaldson is a son-in-law of S. Littlefield of this city and is a member of the Fraternal Brotherhood. Miss Fay McKinley is home from Stanford to spend the holidays with her relatives.

Primary Class Hazel Rose Hans Storm Ladies An Appropriate Gift Rev. A. B. Markle, pastor of the Christian church, was yesterday presented by Capt. Erwin Barr and Mrs. McFarland with a handsome equestrian photograph of his brigade commander, General Benjamin Harrison, of the Union Army. Rev. Markle served under Gen. Harrison through the Atlanta campaign, and was two years under the distinguished soldier. The picture shows Gen. Harrison at the battle of Resaca, calling to his troops, "Come on, Boys." Rev. Markle was a private in the ranks of the 129th Illinois regiment, and participated in that struggle. He also fought at the battle of Peach Tree Creek, when Harrison was Colonel of the 70th Indiana. At this battle the regiment won its brigadier-generalship. Harrison, seeing a gap between the right and left divisions, through which the enemy was about to rush, thus turning the Union flank, started his regiment, without orders, on the double quick to occupy the position. By his keen foresight he saved the day in one of the war's bloodiest of battles. For this act he was made a brigadier. Rev. Markle was among the foremost fighting in both these battles and served with bravery and distinction throughout the struggle between the States.

The gift is peculiarly appropriate and is highly prized by the veteran pastor. He entered the service as a printer. After the war he was ordained a minister. He is modest and unassuming as when working at the case, and we hope he will live long and prosper. Climatic Refugees Capt. Williams on Monday received a letter from John H. Miller, a retired capitalist of Pittsburg, saying among other things: "Look for me and my wife about January 10th; will write from Colorado Springs, where we stop off for a day or two." Mr. Miller has spent several winters in Florida, and this will be his first visit to California. He and Mrs. Miller will be guests of Capt. and Mrs. Williams during the winter. The Captain is planning auto trips to all points of interest hereabout. Mr. Miller stands a press clipping of December 14th showing the character of Pittsburg weather as follows. While the thermometer marks zero weather in Pittsburg, here we have sunshine and flowers: "Wading through icy slush and trying to protect themselves from a slow, steady downpour of rain and sleet, Pittsburgers today are experiencing the most disagreeable weather of this winter. The same conditions prevail from the Mississippi valley to the Atlantic coast and weather forecasts, both local and general, give no promise of relief during the next 24 hours. "The fall of sleet and rain, which has been continuous since shortly after 10 o'clock last night, has almost demoralized street car traffic and all trains arriving here from both the east and west are incased in ice. Through trains are running on good time, but all incoming trains crews report bad weather throughout the country. "Colder weather is expected tonight. This means that the slush now covering the streets will be converted into ice. Large forces of street cleaners..." services were held at the yesterday. Mass was 8 and 10.30 o'clock.

Through trains are running on good time, but all incoming trains crews report bad weather throughout the country. "Colder weather is expected tonight. This means that the slush now covering the streets will be converted into ice. Large forces of street cleaners were put to work early this morning and an effort is being made to clear the downtown streets before the sleet and water freeze. The downpour has been so constant, however, that the streets are recovered almost as fast as the slush is removed. "Street car traffic was so demoralized this morning that thousands of persons were late reaching their places of business. The greatest trouble was experienced on the suburban lines, the sleet and ice almost stopping the operation of cars. "Seldom have the trains arriving at the Pittsburg depots presented so picturesque an appearance. It is a common sight to see engines and coaches covered with snow, but today they are literally incased in ice. Great icicles hang from the projecting parts of locomotives and the coaches are festooned with rows of icy pendants, hanging from the platform hoods, windows and projecting parts of roofs. "Weather conditions caused alarm in retail districts where preparations had been made for a big rush of holiday shoppers. But thousands of women braved the rain, sleet and slush and the stores were crowded. The inclement weather, however, kept suburban people from the city.
