o"AN"hS'-A wagon loau OF oranges
the real tropical fruit-such as Southern
California only can produce-rich,
luscious, juicy-arrived in town
yesterday, direct from Los Angeles,
California. We tried them, and for
once since our sojourn in the Sagebush,
We forgot our whereabouts, and as we
dallied with the delicious fruit, memory
carried us back to the halcion days when
we first landed in the Golden State.
when, with youth, health and the un-
known California before us, no very vivid
imagination was required, as We inhaled
the balmy odors of the orange groves, to
picture a future as golden as the fruit
they bore--to-more copy-and this is
Monday-bills to collect, hands to settle
with, and the devil to pay''--a usual
whenever We are about to say ANYTHING
good. Now that we've come back to
prose, we may as well mention that Geo.
Davis was selling these oranges at 81 a
dozen.
We GIVE IT AS WE Cor 1.-TWO in
toxicated individuals We're yesterday
threatening to ''put head on" each
other, when officer Mckee stepped up
and commanded the peace. One of the
belligerents thereupon made hostile de-
monstrations towards the officer, who
promptly knocked him down; the other
one then moved to the attack, when Nc
kee laid him across his inebriated com.
panion. He then took one of them to
fha nalohpnSn
the other came at him with revolver.
He quickly disarmed him, and put him
iii Jail to keep the first arrested company.
They will have an opportunity to give
their side of the story to-day before JUS
tice Stoutenburgh. These are the facts
OF this little local episode as they came
to us.
PASSES AWAY WITHOUT RECORD
The man who was picked up on Satur-
day, beyond the Eight-mile House, dying
soon after, was inferred Sunday after
noon. He undoubtedly died of exhaus-
ton and restitution. Many called to see
the body, but none recognized the fea-
lures. Another vacancy in the family
circle, years of painful suspense, and
never word of hope or consolation to
be whispered in the ear of bereaved
parent, brother or sister! But better
that his dark fate should forever be
wrapped in mystery than that it should
be known that he persisted of hunger i'll
Christian land.
WHY DID IT 60 BY DEFAULr?-A cor
respondent, in spirit OF patriotic indig-
nation, asks us why the Phoebe Post of
the G.. A. r. did not observe Decoration
Day. We are not able to answer the
conundrum. He terminates his lengthy
letter with the exclammatory sentence,
"Oh! for an iota of the patronymic that
predominated within the hearts of the
Revolutionarys!' That's what we
thought. .......-..
AcoIDENT.-John NJ. Morley, of Bull
lionville. who broke his arm several weeks
ago by the upsetting of his buggy, while
on the road to that place from Phoebe, is
singularly unfortunate. Yesterday he
was driving out near here, when, in
making short turn, he thought his ve-
hicle would capsize, and jumped out,
again fracturing the same member.
ANOTHER RooRBACK.-A Another most
absurd rumor of compromise between
two of our contending mining compa-
MES was afoat on the street yesterday
evening. The buying-off figure was put
at $600,0O0. Whoever buys stock on these
stories will be fooled.
EARLY yesterday morning large cay
ote was seen trotting leisurely through
the valley to the rear Of the county hos
pital. They were formerly very numer-
GUS in this section of the country.
ARRESTED FOR INDECENT ExPosURE.--
Officers Boyd and Woodruff yesterday
jagged a man for indecent exposure.
Good; we hope hereafter to hear an ar
rest for every offense of the kind.
SNAPPED THE W1RE.-A stage driver
yesterday sunjered, in the city, the
Western Union wire, by accidentally
wrapping his whip.lash around it, as he
was stringingit out to reach the leaders.
RAYMOND AND ELY stock stiffened q
little, yesterday, while other stocks de-
| clined.
