Show Thief Robs Wishing Wei! at Old Town SAN DIEGO, Cal., April 6. A thief dived to the bottom of the wishing well at Romona's marriage place at Old Town, nearjhere, recently and took the accumulated horde of pennies and silver, sil-ver, amounting to about S10, that have been dropped there by seekers of luck and good fortune, according to tho proprietor of the historic place. Here Is the ancient motto that hangs over the well: "Quaff ye the waters of Ramona's well; Good luck they bring and secrets they tell. Blest were they by a sandaled friar, So drink and wioh for thy desire." Thousands of tourists each year sip the water and drop coins in homage to tho good luck spirit that is supposed to inhabit the well. oo |
