Last evening, while Mr.. Chauvin
was filling an order brought by Chi
naman for one. of his, patrons, which
occupied but a few moments, the
| Clerk being occupied otherwise, sack
of rice, valued at 1915, was taken from

mediately discovered the loss, and the
party having the rice was seen skedad-
ding in precipitous haste. There be-

Yesterday we had the pleasure of an
introduction to Mr.. f. Whittenhall,
real estate broker and tax-paying
agent from Sabetha, Kansas, who is
here on visit to his son-in-law, our
popular physician, DR.. Brooke. Mr..
Whittenhall is O representative man
of the section of country from which
he comes, and the sort of man who
is much pleased with the climate and
resources of Los Angeles we hope he
will make up his mind to take up his
residence among us permanently. He
is the kind of man we want.
A fearful runaway occurred yesterday
morning about nine o'clock. A pair
of strong horses, attached to heavy
wagon, started from Also street, near
Alameda, knocked down q post on
Los Angeles street near the hay scales,
narrowly escaped Lips & Craigues and
r. Bills wagons, turned into Arcadia
street, thence along Sanchez street,
around the Pico House, down Main,
along Temple to New High where the
wagon upset. During the run gall
liant Spaniard got the reins, but after
galloping block or two was forced TO
let them run. 1t was fearful runa-
way but fortunately without damage.
Mr.. Owens states that the accident
that happened to the hand car the 9TH
er day was not occasioned by running
off the track, but that. the piston rod
caught in the cog wheel, throwing
VIM. Bird from the car, which run
ming over him threw five more of the
men off bruising him severely though
fortunately breaking no bones. The
names of those ON the car were Peter
Owens, Sam Butler, w. A. Mathews,
Donovan, VIM. Bird, Butler and Burk
telegraph OPERATOR, We are glad to
state that Mr.. Mathews, who was so
seriously injured, is much better and
the doctors have hopes of saving his
limbs.
Lastevening about nine o'clock sew
eral men entered the saloon of Mr..
Piepenburg, on Requina street, known
as the J" Musical Headquarters and
commenced to quarrel, when one of
them drew his pistol and attempted to
shoot the other. The pistol was struck
down as he fired, and the ball entered
the pocket of the barkeeper where it
struck large key and comb, pieces of
the comb being driven into the leg,
but the force of the ball being lost, it
remained in the pocket. Had it not
met with the obstruction it would
have severed the femoral artery. The
shootist was arrested.
Elijah Smith, formerly Of Tuolumne
county, an old mining expert who has
prospected Utah, Nevada and Califor-
mia for years, lately came in from the
it is the richest place he has ever
struck. The companies are waiting
for the Southern Pacific railroad to
reach their vicinity before taking out
ore to any great extent, as the high
rate of transportation will not warrant
them in getting in the necessary ma
chinery and supplies. AS the supplies
will mostly be procured here we hope
the railroad will reach them soon.
