audited, will probably clear $500 by
their recent picnic at the Arroyo
Seco. This IL ssaid to be a larger
sum than ever before realized by
any Society from a similar enter

Florence, Arizona Citizen of the

Los Angeles are erecting q hall at
a cost of $4,000, which is almost
completed. They gave grand
musical festival last week for the
benefit of this building, which was
a musical success. The financial
report gives the net proceeds some.
where in the vicinity Of $500. So
1t is said.
The Erpress, speaking Of Sotelc,
says! A curious fact in the despera-
dos geneolgy has been brought out,
called to mind doubtless by his un-
timely death. In 1772 two dis
charged Spanish soldiers living at
the Mission near Yuma with their
wives, were surprised by a band of
hostile Yuma Apaches. The womea
were carried off and remained
in the hands of the
savages several months. By turn
in the fortunes of wer, the poor
creatures were then returned to
their white friends, and one was
found to be enoeinte. In due time
she gave birth to a half-breed child,
and this was the stock from which
Miguel Sotelo sprung.
