HORSE THIEVES ARE JAILED OFFICERS RECOVER EIGHT HORSES AT SAN DIEGO Three Brood Mares Stolen from Cerritos Ranch—Taken Through Anaheim by the Thieves—Rig of Union Brewery Stolen, but Chase is Given and Property Recovered Anastacio Juarez, Jose Villas and Jose Marinez, three Mexicans arrested in San Diego for horse stealing, were brought up by Constable Ruddock of Fullerton and taken to Fullerton for arraignment and their preliminary examinations set for today. They are the members of a gang that in three weeks has stolen horses from several localities between Santa Barbara and San Diego, and were just preparing to cross the border with eight stolen horses when the San Diego officers caught them. It is understood that the capture of the men was due to the attempt of one of them to hold up a street car in San Diego while under the influence of liquor and when the officers got him they easily connected him with the gang and the arrest followed. Three brood mares stolen from the Cerritos ranch were seen while being taken through town some days ago. The horses were recovered in San Diego. Some days ago a horse and buggy belonging to the Union brewery was taken by a thief from the hitching post on Los Angeles street. Men entered another rig and gave chase. On East street, the thief, being closely pressed, jumped from the vehicle and made his escape. The rig was recovered. Representatives of the Sheriffs' offices of Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties arrived in San Diego to get the gang, which was arrested by the San Diego police. Eight valuable horses have been recovered. Two of them were stolen near Santa Mesa.

I said, yes She hustled down into the room, handed the prima donnas, including her wig, and go to it. Fifteen minutes had been called, but the best things on earth are them did something to help I got there on time. It that same old story of how she was sick and unable to and how a chorus girl stole and saved the show. You have about such things, but did you know of one for a fact. My don't want to brag, but it have done your heart good heard all the nice things that said to me by everyone in was taken by a thief from the hitching post on Los Angeles street. Men entered another rig and gave chase. On East street, the thief, being closely pressed, jumped from the vehicle and made his escape. The rig was recovered. Representatives of the Sheriffs' offices of Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties arrived in San Diego to get the gang, which was arrested by the San Diego police. Eight valuable horses have been recovered. Two of them were stolen near Santa Barbara and six from the ranch of J. L. Vignes near Long Beach. Several of the horses are valued at $300 and others at from $100 to $250. All the men under arrest are Mexicans, and it is asserted they are known to be a well-organized band. When arrested, three of the thieves were surprised by a posse of police. They were taken in Chollas valley, where they were camped with the horses. They had attempted to take the animals across the line into Mexican territory, but were prevented by the Mexican custom officials. The men arrested are M. Marcos, Jose Villas, Anastacio Juarez, Jose Queseda, Juan Fernandez and Frank Mendez. The gang began its work in the Santa Maria valley three weeks ago, and is supposed to have stolen thirty horses at an average value of $300. Taking two fine animals in Santa Maria they crossed into Ventura county, where more were taken. Many of those were sold. Bringing some of their "catch" into Los Angeles county, they stopped at the Los Cerritas ranch of J. L. Vignes, near Long Beach, last Sunday morning, and took three mares, for one of which Vignes offered $100 reward. Their next stop was at Fullerton, where they stole three horses. When they approached San Diego they were arrested on suspicion of being thieves. The Santa Barbara and Orange county officials were notified, and word was sent to the Los Angeles sheriff. The Santa Barbara county horses were identified, and those of Vignes and the Fullerton rancher were also among those still in possession of the thieves. The loot recovered by the officers was surprising even though it was known that the gang had carried on operations for a long time past. The full list is eight horses, two buggies, and large amount of harness, saddles and equipment. Four of the thieves are Mexicans or half-breeds. Officers from Fullerton have already identified two of the men as members of the robber band, although none of the men gave were also among those still in possession of the thieves.

Officers from Fullerton have already identified two of the men as members of the robber band, although none of the men gave the names that they have been known north. One of them is believed to have been of the party that broke from San Quentin in the famous prison delivery about eight years ago. Eight horses, three saddles, three buggies and some harness, arrived at Santa Ana on Tuesday noon from San Diego in charge of T. O. Timmons and Herman Allgeyer of Brookhurst, into whose custody the property was given to restore it to the rightful owners. One of the horses was stolen from West Orange, two from Santa Barbara, one from Ventura, one from Brookhurst and three from the Cerritos ranch at Long Beach. Monday afternoon while camped below Capistrano, Timmons and Allgeyer saw something that looked like a plan was in progress to stampede the stock and run it off, and they secured the services of Robert Moffitt and Constable Cook to assist in keeping everything safe.

MASCHALL MAKES A HIT Part of Prima Donna Who was and Unable to Appear Louisa Paschall, daughter of Mrs. Paschall of this city, singing in Massachusetts with Boston opera company, writes letter in which she tells of being selected to take the part of Prima donna of the company, ill and unable to appear. Paschall filled the difficult role that credit and was the star last. It was Christmas Eve thoughts were of home, for the first time she had been home on Christmas. Examiner her letter are as follows: State House, Worcester, Mass. Dec. 24, 1908. Mamma:—If I had written any time before eight o'clock, it would probably have bluest letter, yet, because my was a homesick child and only cried my head off.

Mamma, I got to brag, but it would your heart good to have the nice things that were by everyone in the com- after it was all over. The manager congratulated me very warmly and told me I could have the part every time we play Carmen. What better Christmas present could I want than that? The Worcester Spy speaks as follows of Miss Paschall's singing: "Miss Lois Paschall, a member of the chorus, assumed the role of Michaela, to take the place of Miss Josephine Ishib, who was taken ill and was unable to appear. Miss Paschall's voice is sweet, and she sang the part with credit. Her duet with Don Jose was well done, and was received with enthusiasm. She stepped into the part without even a rehearsal, and all her work was commendable." TURNERS ENTERTAIN One of the most enjoyable events of the holiday season was the concert and Christmas tree festivities given by the singing section of the Anaheim turnverein at Miller's hall on Sunday evening. The chorus singing was excellent and the section received hearty encores. The singing of the trio, composed of Messrs. Alberg, Hiltscher and Roerden, was fine and their musical "burlesque" was provocative of much merriment. Herr Franke essayed the character of a female impersonator, and won vociferous applause from the large audience. All received Christmas presents, Capt. Schumacher acting as Santa Claus. A social dance concluded the evening's festivities. Prof. Fruh's orchestra rendered excellent music for the occasion. The turners supplied a bountiful supply of refreshments for the guests to which ample justice was done. At a late hour the assemblage dispersed, and all voted the turners the best of entertainers. On next Sunday evening at the opera-house "The Doubting Thomas" will be presented, in German, by talent from Los Angeles.
