Camp Mce.ing Accident.

COLLISION BETWEEN TEAMs-A HORSE sEEIousIf
INJURED IN a HAsTY RIDE.
On Sunday evening last serious accident
occurred near the Red Lion camp of which we
have all the particulars from an eve-witness who
was unable to give all tl, lames, Tie horse OF
william Thompson had been hitched III the
woods, securely it was thought. but during eve
ming service it lnapaged to break away and star
ted for home.
Two Young men horseback noticing the
fight of tho horse down the road, and recoGn'-
zing it, gave pursuit, and by dint OF hard rlalhe
and a repeated waving OF hats IN the
face of tho horse soon brought it to a halt. II
was then hitched TO the fence by the. roadside,
and the two young men put back post haste, to
the canp-ground, to inform MIR. Thompson OF
the safety of his team who by this time had
missed it and was on the search of it. Down
the road the young men dashed until in turning
a corner abruptly one of them can1e into COLI
sion with horse and carriage, one shaft OF
which struck the horse in the flank and penetra-
ting it sunk in to depth of about five inches
and broke off. The entire shaft was splintered
from the force of the concussion.
Here was q dilemma. The horse was known
to be injured, but in the darkness the extent
could not be ascertained. But after coneidera-
BILE feeling about the wound was fonnd, and
when it was aecertained that the broken shaft
WAS lodged in the horse's flesh the case was CIV
en- mp AZ hopeless one and the horse turned
into the field at hand to die, while the rider
found another conveyance and went on TO hia
home in Brandywine hundred. The owner of
the team which WAS collided with lived near
New Castle.
- The father of Mr. Thompson above spoken OF,
his two SONS and orr informant. when they learn
ed of the accident, sought out the horse and
opening the wound pued out with some effort
the broken shaft at once giving some relief to
the horse 1t was then driven home to its own
cr, and was living yesterday with some prospect
of recovery

The Temecula Indians.

About fifty of the Temecula Indians
are at present in this city, and most of
them are working for Don Mateo Kel-
Ter in wine making. These Temecu-
las have come up every fall, for over
twenty years, to help Mr.. Keller in
his vintage, and he has found them
sober and Industrious. He pays them
well for their work and they invest
their earnings in clothing and winter
supplies for their families. In addi-
ton to this work, for a quarter of II
century they have always helped in
the sheep shearlng of this country,
which, with their vintage work they
calculated would keep themselves du-
ring the winter.
TO see these Industrious Indians at
work in the vineyard will at once con-
vince the observer that all fear of any
war on their part Is groundless.
Though they have been dispossesed of
the home of their forefathers through
the tricks of the land-shark, yet they
are so welded to civilization that they
quietly come up and earn all honest
living to keep their wives and little
ones from starvation during the Win
ter. Though their homes have been
stolen yet they are industriously max.
ing new homes as fast as posi- BILE.
Verify, the virtue of christian resig-
nation is the distinguishing feature
that adorns these savages.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-10-17

WASHINGTON advices state that it Is
not improbable that the Democrats Of
the United States House of Represent
atives may make war upon the Ma.
tional Banks at the next session.
This looks to us very much like the
promptings of some shrewd Radical
politician. The Democracy could gain
nothing by such movement, because
the time has not yet arrived to tamper
with the banking system. A reform
in the entire currency of the country
must precede any legislation concern
ing the banks. Whatever objections
may be urged against the National
banks 1t is not advisable in the pres
ent condition of the country to attempt
to overthrow them. There is politi-
cal reason which should prevent dec
laration of hostility at an early date.
The 1900 Natioual banks of the Unit
ed States control so vast sum ofmon-
ey that it would be sheer folly for the
Democrats to drive them into the Re-
publican party in the approaching
Presidential campaign.

The zeal with which the agents and
ex agents of the Wilson series of
school books are attacking Mr.. FITZ-
GERALD raise the suspicion that in the
event of the election OF Mr.. CARR that
series will be again forced into the
schools. This little speculation will
cost the parents of the State over a
quarter of q million of dollars. Should
CARR be elected he will be as putty
in the hands of the book rings and
they will manipulate him to meet
their schemes for robbing the people.
FITZGERALD is uncompromisingly
opposed to change in school books
and II he is elected as he undoubtedly
will be, those having children to edu-
cate need have no apprehensions that
new series of school books will be
forced upon them at a heavy expense.
The active and unscrupnlous opsosi-
tion which the agents of the WILSON
series are making to FITZGERALD
leaves no room for doubt but that they
have CARR fixed and know what they
can do with him If thsy can secure
his election.
