drinks, but his terror of getting fat was So
great that ne reduced his diet to the absolute
point of starvation He was of that soft, sym

impossible to keep within odcrate COM

A GOOD MOVE.

The good work of making the Indians leave town during the uight time has been commenced in earnest. The matter was plac- ed Tn the hands of Frank Towns end, City Marshall, and a fund raised by a number of our liberal business men to pay him for the extra labor required to perform that duty. The amount subscrib- ed was small, but we hope our citizens will increase it when they see the great good that must re- suit from the move. Mir. Towns end has commenced the work in an energetic and thorough man ner. He has given the Indians to understand that they must all leave town at or before sum- down and not return until after sunrise next morning, and he en. forces the rule.
 We hope he will keep up his lick, as it is a great relief to be able to walk the streets without being obliged to push through or walk around great crowds of Indians, and besides, we are saved from a great amount of thieving and exhibitions of drunken Indians; for when they are allowed to remain in town in the night time, bad men will con- vey them liquor, in spite of law and police.

Attempted Stage Robbery.

Los ANGELES, August 30.-Last night the N. P. T. Co.'s stage, while on the way from Spadra to San Bernardino, was attacked by robbers when within three miles of the latter place. But one man was seen. He sprang from the brush and commanded the driver to stop, but the command was not obeyed, the driver whipped up his team and the highwayman fred two shots at him. One shot took effect on one of the horses which after running two miles fell dead in it's harness. It is pro bable that there were several in the party, though but one was visible.
