In Butler county 3 young man was
counting farmers daughter. There's
nothing very remarkable about that
but wait till you read the whole story !:
Well, one morning as this young man
was starting home-yes, it was in the
morning, although it was not yet
light-as this young man started
home from that farmers residence, he
made the startling discovery that the
barn owned by said farmer, was on
fire. By great exertions the young
man extingnished the flames with lit
tie loss. But long before the time
mentioned this stern parent had told
his daughter that she must not sit up
later than ten o'clock, but after the
event above related, one would sup
pose that the old man would relent
and give our hero permission to. sit
up with his daughter till broad day
light every night of the week for the
protection of his property from fire.
But he didn't. That ancient Granger
treated his daughter with as little con-
sideration as if he were middleman
He accused the young man of firing
the barn himslf, and warned MIN If
ever he came fooling around Jane Ann
any more, he would watt him off the
premises with No. 10 cowhide boot.

I am not Of much count as talker,
And never was much from my youth.
But it seems 20 me honor is honor.
And it seems to me truth is the truth.
I do not know a sfghtabout doctrine.
And perhaps have not much overwit,
But guess that backbone is elected.
And that saints need good deal Of grit
It's not would go back on churches,
For whoever does that is 3 foel;
There is no one a match for old Satan
TIL he's gone to the Maker to school.
But religion amt always in meetin'.
And it amt in the lengthiest prayer
Though they both have proper places,
Asa sort Of beginners first stair.
And religion amt singin' aud music.
Nor it ain't in a smile and sigh;
It's an out-an-out follerin' orders,
Ifit takes right hand. or an eye.
But at ilrst there is something to settle;
am never for going it blind;
Just be sartin' who's giVin' the order,
And besnre, after that, that you mind.

WOMAN MURDER.
COrOner's Inquest and Arrest of the
Alleged Murderer.

1t is true saying that one-half the
world knows not how the other half
lives; and it is only when some tragi-
cal occurrence calls forth the investi-
CATION of the law, that we are made
conversant with the misery and degra-
dation that makes up the every day
life of the worlds undercurrent. An
affair of this kind has just come to
light, with all it's sickening details,
through the medium of u Coroner's
jury, held upon the body of woman
named Rafaila, who was brought to a
violent death in Sonora last Saturday.
1t seems that the woman, who had
been living with one Sued Morazovich,
had been afflicted with heart disease
for some time, and last Saturday she
received Il beating at the hands OF
her lord and master, which 1t
is supposed, acting in conjunction
with her malady, accomplished her
death. An examination by Dir. Wise
revealed serious bruises upon the body
which would warrant such u conclu-
sion. The arrest of the man who COM
mitted the dastardly act has been or
dered, and we presume he is now in
custody.
The following is the report Of Justice
Gray, acting Coroner, OH the case:
"May 10, ls74.-Being called by Of
ficer Hartlee, at the request of Cor
oner, proceeded to q house OIL Bath
street, in the northeast portion Of the
city of Los Angeles, and there found
the body of dead woman, already
dressed and in her coffin, known as
Rafaila, about forty-tive or fifty years
of age, and supposed to be a native OF
Mexico. Whereupon venire was is
sued for six jurors to inquire into the
cause of the death of said woman,
and placed in the. hands of of
ticer Hartlee, returnable forthwith.
Also, subpoena was issued for
witnesses and placed in the hands
of officer Benitos, returnable forth
the venire with the following names,
to wit: 5. Damern, l.. Lala, q. f. va
ger N. II. Borden, G. M. Small and
j. w. Madigan, who were sworn in
and the inquest proceeded with. Maria
Valenzuela and Manuel Garcia testi-
fled. Also, after examining the body,
Dr. Wise was sworn and testified as to
the wounds upon the body and the
probable immediate cause of the wom-
ans death. The first witness, who
was present at the striking and beat
ing of the woman by the man, Sued
Morazovich, with whom she was liv-
ing, testified that Navio Valenzuela
was also present at the time, and the
jury asked for continuance of the
case until such witness can be pro-
duced. The case was accordingly adj
journed until Tuesday, May 18th, at
p. NJ, and a subpoena issued for said
Navio Valenzuela, returnable at that
hour.

wife, was driving down the street at Il
rapid pace, his buggy collided with II
vehicle of somewhat heavier calibre
and went to general smash. The oc-
cupants were thrown out, and Mrs.
Hazard sustained some severe, though
not dangerous, bruises. The fault
seems to have been that of the horse,
which was young and not very obedi-
ent to the rein. 1t Is fortunate that
no more serious results to life and
limb followed the accident.
The reports about Vasquez and his
visits to our city are growing monot-
onous. The last canard dwindles to the
simple fact that four men who were
on bender Sunday night took forci-
BILE possession OF hack and compelled
the driver to carry them about town
for while, to suit their caprice, flour
ishing revolvers and making free
statements that they were friends of
Vasquez. Officer Hartlee took the
matter in hand yesterday, and upon
investigation found the perpetrators of
the affair sleeping off their debauch of
the night before, and harmless as
sucking doves.
The case of the People VS.. Newman
occupied the whole attention of the
County Court again yesterday. Mr..
Gabriel, the party who was shot by
Newman, was brought into Court on
a litter in the afternoon to furnish re-
buttal testimony. He was in very
feeble condition, and it was rather
against the advice of his physician,
DR.. Stairway, that he was taken from
his bed. The testimony was all con-
cluded in the forenoon, and the law
yers proceeded to the summing up be-
fore the jury, which occupied them
until late in the night. This case has
elected great deal of interest, mas
much as the parties connected
with the affair are well known,
and the circumstances of the
case are deeply involved. 1t will
be remembered that Newman was
in possession of some property at Ell
Monte which was claimed by other
parties, and the Sheriff, with party,
going out to eject him, Gabriel, one OF
the posse, was shot and so severely in
jured that he still remains in the con-
dition described. The Courtroom was
filled with interested auditors during
the whole course of the trial. At III
o'clock last night the charge of Judge
OMelveny was submitted to the jury
to the effect that they should find the
defendant guilty or not guilty of as
sault with intent to kill. The jury
then retired, and their verdict, at our
latest advices, had not yet been re-
turned -. =
