throughout the city. He was after
wards employed by Mr.. Monroe at
the Pacific Hotel, adjoining the
railroad depot. A few days ago he
helped himself to 500 and left for
San Francisco. Chief Harris re-
ceived dispatch from the authorl-
| ties at San Francisco that the boy
would be held to await his orders.
With fair chance, this lad of but
eleven years of age, we have no
doubt, would reach q high round
on the ladder of infamy before he
attains his majority.
1t is generally supposed that the
Messrs. Robinson and Connolly
will be pitted in a friendly rivalry
for Clerk of the Council. 1t is
assumed, as one of the positive facts
in our municipal politics, that the
present and popular City Clerk, Mr..
Caswell, will have to give place to
! a Workingman. We will just re-
mark, as one of the pleasing relax
ations of partizanship that charac-
terized a Democratic Council, that
they gave this position to Mr.. Cas-
we'll although they well knew he
was Jealous Republican.
The subjoined, from the Tucson
Citizen of Nov. 30th, will be of in
terest to the numerous Los Ange-
les friends of the gentlemen named:
Messrs. Vail and Harvey came in
from their ranch OH Thursday, just
in time to eat good Thanksgiving
dinner. They have just finished
branding their young cattle, and
everything OH the ranch is looking
first-rate. These young men al
ways meet with a hearty welcome
when they visit our city, and we
are ever pleased to learn of their
prosperity.
We clip the annexed notice of
the movements of n sometime An
geleilo from late number of the
Arizona Citizen: DR.. Il. +. Burgess,
the dentist from Los Angeles, who
was in Tucson last fall, and who is
well known here, is now in Flor
ence and will be in Tucson about
the 7th of Decenber. DR.. Burgess
did considerable work here during
his former visit and the excellent
and durable character of that work
here will be sufficient recon-
mendation for him now. He will
be with us about a week.
We encountered eX-Chief of Po-
lice Gerkins on the street yester-
day. He is looking none the worse
for the rough handling he got from
Mayer and "Frenchy," barring
bandage on the back of the head.
He is himself of the opinion that
he is none the worse for wear, and
we are inclined to agree with him.
The survivor of the villainous pair
of knucklers we saw upon eXhibi-
ton at police headquarters, and
which were very effectively used on
Gerkins, has much upon which to
congratulate himself.
Quite a number of families from
Salinas valley, Monterey county,
who went south with the intention
of locating on the Warner ranch, in
San Diego county, have returned
as far towards their former homes
as Santa Ana, and will doubtless
locate In this vicinity. We would
be glad to have them make thei T
future homes among us, as this
valley offers superior inducements
for new settlers, and Inducements
such as no other section in the
State can offer.-Santa Ana Times.
The Pacific Steamship Company
announce that they will be unable
to put into the port of Ventura
with their large boats this Winter,
but have made arrangements to
bring passengers through to Santa
Barbara by steamer, and thence to
that port by easy stages, without
extra cost. il preferable, pas
sengers may take the steamer Los
Angeles and come through direct
without change. The port of Ven-
tura is too open to risk large boats
there during the Winter season.
Business, judging by the follow
ing, which we clip from the Times,
must be quite brisk in the neigh
borhood of Santa Ana. 1t says:
There are more new goods coming
into Santa Ana than are going into
any one town In the county. This
looks like business, and the people
In this section may look for lively |
times the coming year, and an in
creased activity in business circles.
Thanks to the advent of the
sprinkling carts the air is no longer
thick enough in Los Angeles to cut
up into chunks. The frightful
yellow clouds of dust no longer af-
flict the eye or fill the lungs. In
valids and tourists may now safely
come to Los Angeles to live.
Thanks for this sensible and whole |
some dispensation are due primar-
lily to the HERALD and secondarily |
to the City Council. We agitated |
and they legislated.
By q Portland Dispatch, published
elsewhere in this mornings HER
AID, it will be seen that James
johnson, one OF the O'Shea rob-
bers and murderers, who was arrest.
ed in this city some weeks ago,
was found guilty of murder in the
first degree at that city yesterday.
We understand that an effort is
being made to organize a joint
stock company to start a daily
newspaper in Los Angeles. The
old form ula, 30 that mine enemy
