The picuickers to the Sierra
Madre Villa got back all safe last
evening, and are unanimous in the
opinion that The excursion was enc
of the most delightful they had
ever experienced, Notwithstanding
the rain. One gentleman remarked
that it was splendid day-for

just little too much water in it
for an Unitarian.

In late number of the Santa

II most rampant Rooster. AS
chanticleer is the immemorial en-
blem Of Democratic victory, we
thought possibly that the tele-

we had failed to descry II Demo-

alas! it proved TO be only a some
what bombastic but appropriate
method of announcing "eggs for

On Friday night last u citizen of
Los Angeles was robbed of prop
erty valued at $500 by n woman
named Hattie Armstrong, alias
Mrs. L. Goldsmith. Not wishing
to give publicity TO the loss lie,
with some friends, on Saturday
night, visited the house where the
robbery had been committed in the
hope that the W oman might be ir-
duced TO restore the property with
out exposure. Failing IN his
efforts, officers Fopck and Jerome,
who had been requested to accom-
pany the party, but to remain on
the outside until called, were sum-
moued into the house. After they
had entered, and had been directed
to arrest the woman, she was seen
to pass something to the man who
had been robbed, which proved to
be the missing property. She was
then arrested, and committed to
jail TO await examination before
Judge Peel on Monday morning.
At the appointed hour, she was
taken into Court, when Col. J. G.
Eastman, who appeared for the
prosecution, demanded that the
examination should be conducted
with closed doors, and the Court
room was accordingly closed. The
investigation resulted in the wo-
mans committal to Jail, in default
of $500 bail, to answer to the charge
of grand larceny before the next
Grand Jury. Yesterday the pris-
oner made application to the Dis
trict Court for reduction of bail, on
the ground that she was unlawfully
deprived of her liberty, aud that
the City Judge, on whose order she
was committed, had no jurisdic-
ton In the matter, or something to
that effect. The case was heard;
and, by consent of District Attor-
ney Hudson, Hattie was released
on her own recognizauce.
