If any of our eastern friends wish to
see specimen of a Los Angeles rose
tree they had better call at the resi-

twelve feet high, thirty-six feet
around the foliage, and two feet

"A shooting ARRAY occurred at a sa-
loon in Spadra yesterday. by which
Mr.. Standiford lost his life at the
hands of Constable Lilly. 1t seems
that Lilly wrote a piece which was
published in paper rejecting great
dlscredit on Mr.. Standiford, and the
latter cut out the piece to show Lilly
and ask If he was the author of it.
While Mr.. Lilly was in the saloon,
Stamford walked up to him and
asked if he was the author of it. Mr.
Lilly said that he was, whereupon
stamford struck him with a heavy
horsewhip, knocking him down.
When Lilly got up, Standiford knock
ca MIN down again, upon which Lilly
drew his revolver and shot the assaii-
ant through the shoulder, saying as he
ala SO, don't want to kill you, so
you had better leave me alone.u
Stamford then made another attack,
when Lilly shot again, the ball going
through the heart and producing al
most instant death. Constable Lilly
then went to the nearest officer and
delivered himself into custody. The
Coroner's inquest was to have been
held last evening, and we await full
particulars, which will be given to our
readers, probably in to-mOrrow's is
sue.
The fire department will hold a
meeting tonight for the ostensible
purpose of disbanding, but we trust
they will defer to their cooler iudp-
ment and sacrifice a scruple rather
than run the risk of losing a pound.

City Council has standing offer of
ten dollars for the first team on hand
In case of a fire alarm to haul the en-
CINE to the place for working and back

the part of the Council to spare "hu-
