COL. KEWEN'S

norma. Arriving at
COL. KEwEN's
We found the old homestead as beau
tiful as ever, and the popular host and
hostess in the most cheerful mood. The
Colonel's crop has been very good
one, in fact about the best in the val
ley. The vineyard yielded 10000
pounds of grapes, against 100000 last
year, and the walnut grove is furnish
ing full yield. His orange and lem
on trees are also loaded with fruit, one
of the former standing near the house
being so burdened that it is in danger
of being broken to pieces under the
weight of its rich clusters, and cannot
have less than 1000 oranges upon it.
THE ROSE ESTATE
Has not been so favored, the grape
crop being almost total failure, fur
nishing something like one-third or
one-half of full yield, and the wal
nuts not being worth the expense of
gathering. Mr.. Rose, however, is pur-
chasing grapes from the neighboring
vineyard, paying sixty-two-and-a-half
cents per hundred, and will put into
his tanks about 100,0 900 gallons of wine.
The orange grove is not well fruited,
though in places the trees promise an
average crop. On the ranches of
MESSRS. WILSON & SHORE
We found a large band of Cinnamon
working amid the vines, and the grape
crusher was dragging into its nav
continuous stream of purple clusters.
The yield of grapes in Lake and Mount
Vineyard is much below an average.
In parts of the vineyard the vines
were almost bare, but in others they
were so we'll fruited that about seven
ty-five per cent of crop will be gath
cred, and 100000 gallons of wine and
brandy made. Mr.. Shorb informed us
that he had recently shipped to New
York of former vintage on an order
150 pipes and 75 barrels of brandy,
equal to about 26, 900 gallons, which is
one of the largest shipments ever
made from this section. The orange
crop promises to be short one.
GENERAL STONEMAN
Finished crushing last week, and did
very well, though not making a full
crop.
THE FROST DAMAGE
In this belt in April last seems to have
been irregular and inexplicable. Some
ranches escaped with little injury,
though no one can give a sufficient
reason for it, and on the same ranch
the vines and trees were not uniformly
affected. Orange trees loaded with
fruit may be seen fifty yards from
others perfectly bare, and the same
may be said of the vines. On the
whole, the grape and fruit crop of the
entire valley will not be more than
half full one. At the
SANTA ANITA
Ranch everything is lively, and Los
Angeles may consider herself fortu-
nate in having Mr.. E. J. Baldwin on
her list of landholders. 1t will be re-
membered that gentleman not long
since purchased this ranch for $500, 900
cash. A large force has been at work
upon it for the past year. The vine-
yard now has 10000 vines, and several
thousand orange and lemon trees have
been recently put out. A fine wine
cellar has been built, provided with

Stage Robbery.

SoLEDAD, CAL, October 23d. The
Coast Line Stage was stopped in the
gulch below Last Chance Station last
night and a man in a disguised voice
demanded the treasure box. 1t was
thrown to him. Ex-Sheriff Poole had
been on the stage and had got out q
short time before, and at this time was
walking short distance behind, and
when the robber was leaving with the
box he told him to halt. He made no
reply but shot at Poole with pistol,
the ball passing close to the Sheriff's 8
head. The Sheriff returned the fire
with a double -barreled shotgun, and
the robber made his escape, dropping
the box. They then put the box on
the stage and proceeded and met an
other man in a mask about a mile
further on and the Sheriff shot at him.
He returned the fire three times, and
then escaped. The night was dark
and pursuit was useless.

one Of the reporters of the Evening Despatch
stepped out Of the criminal court room, at noon
yesterday. he was savagely assaulted by Presley
n. Jones, of the law fin of Turner 4 Jones,
knocked down and severely beaten. Smythe re-
gained his feet and drew pistol to defend him
self, when police officer arrived and di.armed
him, arrestng and contning both in the calaboose.
Subsequently warrant charging them with as
sault with intent to kill sworn out against
them and they were sent to Jail. The attack
which was totally unexpected and brutal, grew
out of the mention in despatch, few days ago,
of the arrest of Jones, for drunkenness and uL-
professional conduct on the part Of the firm.

republicans. 1t will require an official canvass to
determine the result absolutely. Ludington the
republican candidate for governor, is probably
elected by about 1000 majority. The rest of the
republican ticket is probably defeated. The leg
