The Atlo has the following relative
to one of our candidates for City
Marshal: ave observe by the Los An
geles papers that Emil Harris is up for

fact that he was there and ready with
his rifle to do his part, rebounds to
Harris credit. Los Angeles cannot
do better than reward him with the
office of Marshal, -,
