MONDAY; JULY 14, 1924 LAGUNA BEACH GETS JAIL CELL A short story entitled "The Come-back of a Cage" might be written, it was discovered today about a brief item that appeared in the minutes of the last supervisorial meeting. The item set forth that the county had purchased a jail from the city of Santa Ana at a price of $200. Rather a small price for a jail, it seemed, considering that the county is now building one for a figure having three more ciphers to the end of it. So the jail purchase was investigated, and the story of the come-back was unearthed. The "jail" it was found, was merely a cage—all that remained of the old Santa Ana city jail. For several years, since the old jail was replaced by the new fire hall, the cage has reposed in peaceful retirement, no longer annoyed by the heavy smores or muttered curses of its illuminated inmates. But thrifty officials, anxious to avoid waste or extravagance, inspected the pensioner and decided that it was a pretty healthy looking specimen, and ought to be earning its keep. So the old cage, with a regretful groan, was forced to leave its haven of refuge and embark once more on its career of cooling criminals. The county supervisors bought it for Laguna Beach, much to the surprise of everyone, as nobody associated law-breaking with that beauty spot. BURGLAR SUSPECTS REMANDED TO JAIL Henry Brown and E. O. Moon, charged with having burglarized the home of Mrs. Jessie Robinson on Rio Vista-ave, were picked up Saturday at Long Beach.

In Shasta national forest a small resort known as Ney Springs was destroyed and two ranch homes burned. In the Tabo district, the forest hill fire continued its firm advance on a 10-mile front despite all efforts of fire fighters to stop its progress.

In the Sequoia national forest, 400 men continued to hold their own against the great fire that has been burning in the Bull Run district. The situation there is such that only by constant watchfulness the flames are kept from 3 GIRLS ESCAPE JUVENILE HOME R. R.
