Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-12-08


brated, in O good humored and
creditable manner, their recent
municipal victory by torchlight
procession and mass meeting, the
latter held before the Main street
front of the Court House. At a
moderate estimate there must have
been five hundred men in line, car
rying torches and on horseback.
Transparencies and notices were
mum erous, the plug hat made fam
GUS by the HERALD figuring prom
inently amongst them. The crowd
which collected around the speak,
er's stand was one of the largest we
have ever seen In Los Angeles.
Congratulatory speeches were in
dulged in by the Messrs. Jesse III.
Butler, John F. Godfrey, l.. Lich-
tenberger and others. Altogether
the demonstration was O success.
Conterno's band furnished music
for the occasion.
Officer Asabedo yesterday eve-
ming arrested man named Jim
Welsh, charged with stealing $65
and o watch and chain, valued at
SOL, from the room of Michael
Flynn, in the United States Hotel.
1t was stated that Welsh had
pawned the watch at Maguire's sa-
loon, near the depot, but on inves-
tigation this story proved to be
untrue. Some of the money and q
knife belonging to Flynn, the dis
play of which led to Welsh's arrest,
were found on his person. He was
committed to await examination
before Judge Peel on Monday. Sub
sequently officer Fonck arrested
Flynn on charge of perjury and
he, also, was committed for exam
ination.
