you said chat reward had been Of

boys or men have received, nor would
they take, one cent of reward; nor
was it offered them They captured
the assassin, found the money and
stolen goods and delivered the prls-
oner to the officer, the goods and
money to Mr.. Lomfaum, one of the
proprietors of the store, and went
home and had no hand whatever with
Judge Lynch. Reward was not the
incentive which actuated them, but
the hellish deed which had been COM
mitted upon our friend and neighbor.
We had no reward except the re-
ward of satisfaction, which We fully
realized in the capture of Ell Gordo,
and his judgment and execution. We
captured and delivered the man up,
and there were enough, without US to
execute the law of Judge Lynch.

Benefit to Miss Anna Elzer.

Tomorrow evening the Fabbris will
furnish their farewell entertainment
in the city, at the same time rendering
a benefit to the young and talented
Anna Elzer. The troupe will be ma
terially assisted by some of our anna
teurs, who have kindly volunteered
their services. An attractive pro-

Aravelo will furnish a trio concer-
tants for piano, violin and guitar,
which promises to be rare musical
treat. Miss Elzer has already estab-
lished herself as favorte in the esti-
nation of all who were present at the
previous entertainment and we be-
speak for her a hearty expression of
regard from our citizens tomorrow
evening.

The Conversation Class of Minnea-
polls have been discussing the merits
of Tennyson as poet. One member,
who rejoices in the title of Professor"
informed his hearers that Tennyson
'is third-class poet,' and that in his
estimation Dickens was far greater
poet than the author of "In Memo
riam.n "a poet" said the learned
Professor, "should have great soul.
Tennyson is a very small pattern of a
man. He fell in love when he fifteen
years old, and has continued so ever
since. Out of eighty-four poems he
has written, siXty-seven are on love.n
Another thought Tennyson did his
best in calm and tranquil strain"
and when somebody suggested like
ness between the Laureate and Words
worth, he retorted that Tennyson is
about as much like Wordsworth as a
jeweler is like blacksmith A rev.
erend gentleman admired Tennyson
because he had little of the spread
eagle style about him, while a doctor
thought him superficial, like our So
ciety," and unable to do anything
better than the Idyls. He added that
{" The Princess reminded him of the
rag-tag and bob-tail thoughts of a
man of talent in delirium."

Aside from the reports already fur
nished our readers, there are no devel-
opments concerning the robbery at
Puente Ranch which throw any light
on the subject. A jury summoned by
Coroner Richardson proceeded to the
place of the tragedy last Saturday, and
after hearing evidence, returned ver-
dict stating that the deceased was
named Jesus Romo, aged about twen-
ty-two years, native of Sonora, Mex
leo, and that he came to his death by
hanging, at the hands of party or
parties unknown.
CONSTABLE B. r. BRYANT,
OF the Monte, testified that on Friday
he went in search of the man Romo,
together with posse of men from the
Monte. They found him concealed
at the junction of Puente creek and
San Gabriel river, and after wounding
him took him prisoner. Afterwards
the Mexican was taken to the house
of Mr.. Turner and there identified as
the man who had attempted the MUIR
der and robbery. Starting with the
prisoner for Ell Monte, he was over
taken by party of masked men after
going a short distance, and the man
taken from his custody. He knew
nothing more of the affair. Had heard
in the evening that man was hung
near the place.
Ramona Moreno also testified. but
could furnish no evidence against the
men who had executed ROmo.
From the facts elected the jury con-
cluded its sitting,with the result given.
The verdict was signed by II. jeff.
White, John II. McMurray, G. M.
Small, Thomas j. Bedford, Ernest
Neitzke and T. II. Kelly.
1t is said that Romo disclaimed
having any hand in the Overend mas
sacre.

A Lorq Walk for a Woman.

A woman passed through Truckee al
5 o'clock yesterday morning who has
walked the entire distance from Kan
sas City. She has followed the rail
road track closely, and has been some
fifty days in making the trip. Nearly
every conductor and brakeman on the
road between Omaha and Truckee
have observed her. She was very ret
icent in conversation, but claimed to
have recreant husband somewhere
in California, whom she was seeking.
Numerous offers were made her of a
ride on the freight trains, all of which
she peremptorily refused. She de-
clined trusting herself to the dangers
and uncertainties of railway travel,
and walked every step of the way.
Her dress consisted of pair of loose
Turkish drawers made of canvass,
similar in texture to that used by
miners for hose in hydraulicing. A
wool sack protected her neck and
chest, and small white shawl was
wrapped around her shoulders. In
height and size she was rather below
the medium. Her features were
rather coarse, and, as may be
supposed, severely bronzed by ex-
posture to the sun and weather. The
distance from Winnemucca to Wads-
worth-139 miles-she made in four
days, at the rate of thirty-four miles
in day. She made no halt in pass
ing through Truckee. A great many
persons here were aware of her COM
ing, but thought she would not make
her grand entry until about the mid
die of the forenoon yesterday, but the
walk of this remarkable pedestrian
was "mysteriOus and past finding
out" and she strobe on ahead of time,
arriving here at such an early hour
that scarcely'a dozen were ableto take
observations of the event. 1t had been
the intention to give this woman a
sort of triumphant reception in
Truckee and surely the occa-
sion warranted it), but she stole
the march on us and passed along rap
idly, silently and determinedly, as if
bent on an important mission, the full
fillment of which admitted of no de-
lay, circumlocution, speech-lnaking
nor public receptions. The case is, we
venture to say, one of the most singu-
lar OH record. It has more signifi-
canoe than the forthcoming Of the
transit of Venus or the petty walks of
such pedestrians as Weston. What
will be the fate of that truant hus-
band others when she gets her hands
fairly locked in his hair it is not diff
ficult to conjecture. Better would it
have been for him had he never been
born. There will not be rocks nor
mountains enough in California to
cover him from her enraged sight

Serious Accident.

Yesterday afternoon another serious
accident happened at the Marysville
FIGURING Mills. J. II. Lee, the engi-
neer, was engaged at the rear of the
boilers on the brick-work of the arch,
about six feet from the ground, max
ing some repairs. The iron plates,
weighing about one hundred pounds
each, which cover the man-holes of
the boilers, were down ON the edge of
the wall, and while Lee was moving
about, one of his feet caught under
these irons, and himself and the two
iron plates were precipitated to the
ground below. Lee fell partially on
his hands and knees, and one of the
iron plates struck edgewise across his
left hand in diagonal line, bruising
and cutting it in horrible manner

LETTER FROM COMPTON.
ATraveler with His Eyes Opeu-Wheat
Flelds-Grangers-Th Cooperative
Store Movement.

EDITOR HERALD: Having been out
among the Changers, l thought per-
haps few items might be of interest
to the many readers of the HERALD.
l am pleased to report that find un-
precedented prosperity among the
farmers as far as have been through
out the county. Finer crops of. corn,
barley, rye and wheat it has scarce
ever been my good fortune to see; and
right here let me express my surprise
at having SO often heard the remark
that wheat could not be successfully
grown in Los Angeles county. Around
the foot hills above old Los Nietos, |
saw fine fields of wheat, looking splen-
did and not having the least been
affected with rust.
AROUND SPADRA
There are fields of wheat that think
will make from forty to fifty bushels
per acre. After what | have seen in
my travels through this county, am
astonished to think that we import
nearly all the flour we use. OF course
in my travels l have heard the old
complaint of "hard times,o but, sir, it
does seem to me that the farmers
ought to be able this year to clear
their farms of debt and once more get
their names off the retail merchants
books, and to be able at the close of
this season to give one long, loud
shout Of liberty. l find the Changers
all looking with anxiety and expecta-
ton to this cooperative movement,
that is now underway in your city.
MEN OF CAPITAL,
Men of small means, and widows and
young girls have taken stock (of course
widows and young ladies are Jealous
"Patrons of Husbandry'). The Gran
gers have for long time been doing
"wind work. now they propose to do
work of more substantial nature.
Already there is a "troubling of the
waters" and where we have hereto
fore been treated with careless indif-
ference we are now treated with
marked respect. There have been
some very sudden conversions, and
middlemen are now anxious to estab-
lish the fact that they have always

Two enterprising merchants of Spadra,

the cooperative store, thereby proving
themselves the farmers friends.

is room for more. We need here, as
all over the county, hard-handed, hon.

county is we'll supplied with lawyers,
doctors and preachers. What we now
need is material for Changers. A hint
to the wise is sufficient. Pardon this

more. GRANGER.

The Iron Trade.

The prospects of an early resumption
in the iron trade are, it is said, highly
encouraging, and, judging from present
appearances, an active fall business will
undoubtedly be done. A leading official
Of one of our principal railways has
lately received letter from one of our
largest iron workers, in which it is
stated that more orders have been re-
ceived tor iron within the last few days
than in all the six weeks previously
Reports have been received of similar
revivals in various directions, and manu-
tacturers generally regard matters from
a couleur dc rose point Of view. Should
the anticipations prove correct, cor
responding good result will be percepti-
BILE in coal and railroad circles.
The Cambria Iron Company, of
Johnstown, Pa, have very recently
started their rolling mills on what is
known in the trade as "double turn"
viz, night and day work. The Besse-
mer steel works Of the company, which
have been running irregularly for some
time past, would now be running on full
time were it not for the scarcity OF
water. 1t appears that some OF the
most important ports OF the machinery
used in the manufacture of steel, such
as cranes, lifts, &c, are operated solely
by water-power, which is derived from
the water supplying the town of Johns
town. A probable scarcity of the water
supply, induced by dIough Or otherwise
acts prejudicially on the works, mas
much as temporary suspension OF
operations in the steel mills must take
place. so that the townspeople may MOI
suffer through the scarcity. The bias,

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK There
is no sufficient reason why the Repub-
lican party should not carry the State
Of Pennsylvania next November by
twenty-five or thirty thousand majority.
Everything promises victory. We go
into the canvass with fair prospect of
nominating one of the most popular
tickets ever put in the field, and that
without creating small army of sore
heads within our own ranks. From
present appearances we will have no
lightweight candidates to carry-every
man proposed belongs to the active,
younger element of the party which has
been its life in the past and is its hope
in the future. The record OF the party
in the State is good. For fourteen
years Pennsylvania has been governed
by Republicans, and to-day the people
have ample evidence that their choice
has been wise and good. We never
mad less taxation than at present; our
debt is being paid off, and the interest
on our sinking fund is SO judiciously
invested that the income nearly pays
the current expenses of the government.

continuous rule able to make a better

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to it's youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandrutf,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, Md, State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and L
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

Geographically speaking, peat is one Of
the most widely extended of modern de-
posits, Every State oe the Union has
more or less extensive peat beds. The
manufacture Of the new fuel can be car

The new invention has been patented in
this country as we'll as in France, Ger
many aud Great Britain, and COM
