The fire which occurred at Spadra
Wednesday was caused by Mexican
throwing lighted cigarito upon the
dry grass of large field, recently
bought by Messrs. Beach & Butler OF
our city. The loss will be severe one
to them, for they were reserving this
pasturage for their flocks to feed on
after the exhaustion of their Other
ranges. No damage was done except
the wholesale destruction of feed
caused by the sweep of fire over twelve
hundred acres of pasture land.
Li,rado Corona was yesterday sen
tenced BIZ Judge O'Melveny to the

Repetto, doubtless had something tt
do with lengthening his sentence, al
the Judge commented upon it severely
when he delivered the sentence. Th'
prisoner was taken, sick and friend
less, to Repettos house and caret
for like son by the old man. After
wards, he planned and helped execute
the robbery of the man who had thu
befriended him.
