Leedy, whilom keeper, with Whit.
ney, of the st. Charles Hotel, in
Los Angeles. And now comes
along the Cotton Semi Tropic
which, in its San Bernardino cor
respondence, has the following:
The great hotel "keep," Mr.. Leedy,
has gone to Los-San-where
there are new pastures, and the poor
butcher and landlord bewaileth the
loss of beef bill and rent money. Sic
transit, shoddy, and farewell, a
long farewell to this proprietor of
the Southern Hotel. Chris Kurtz
does the agre, able for the patrons
of the house at present, with q new
"bar keep" Harry retiring.
The Orange correspondent of the
Santa Ana Times gives these items:
The damage to the barley is not
nearly so great as was supposed.
In most cases the fallen grain has
risen, so that there will be no diff
Guilty in moving it. Some has
rusted slightly, which will injure
it somewhat for hay, but not TO a
great extent......... There is some
talk of proposition to be made at
the next meeting of the stock
holders of the Santa Ana Valley
Irrigating Company for that com.
pany to assume control of the
small bitches and deliver the water
at the farms of the applicants and
not, as now, at the gates on the
main bitches.
The San Luis South Coast says:
"E. Wobkin arrived home last
night from an extended tour
through the southern part of the
State" 1t would give us infinite
pleasure to hear from Mr.. e. Wob.
kin as soon as he finds it conven-
lent after recovering from the ia
tigues of an "extended tour through
the Southern part Of the State.n
Our short acquaintance with Wob-
kin has ripened into a hearty hope
that he may become prosperous in
his worldly affairs before the Cali.
fornia statute of limitations oper-
ates as bar to his paying his
printers bills.
Some excitement was created in
the HERALD composing room
about 8 O'Clock last night by boy
rushing in and saying that, as he
was passing along New High street,
he had seen man, who was some
distance up the High School stairs,
take drink from a bottle and
then fall over seemingly dead. The
compositors rushed out to render
assistance and, sure enough, q man
was found stretched out at full
lenghth on the second stage of the
stairs with ali empty bottle by his
side, who, on investigation, proved
to be dead-drunk.
