Giuseppe Amillo was yesterday

by Judge Peel. Amillo was one of
the defendants In the suit of Mas
sabo vs. Amillo, recently tried In
the District Court, and as yet unde-
cided. 1t was o suit on a promis-
sorry note to which, it was claimed,
Mrs. Amillo's signature had been
appended without authority from
her. Amillo, having been called
as witness, testified that he owed
Hellman, Haas & Co. $500 on
mortgage, for money advanced for
the building Of q house. 1t Is
claimed that this was untrue, and
that Hellman, Hass & Co. never
advanced Amillo any money, on
mortgage or otherwise, and that
what he owed them was for goods
and provisions furnished to him
while be was keeping store.
Mr.. Osborne, the Superintendent
of the Los Angeles Campapy's
mine at Tecopa (Resting Springs)
has arrived in Los Angeles and is
stopping at the st. Charles Hotel.
The property of this company,
which consists of the Messrs.
Slauson, Severance, Bent and 9th =
ers of our leading citizen, is giving
promise of very fine developments.
The mine is shut down for the
present, awaiting the arrival of
mill, it having been ascertained
that the ore is better adapted to
milling than to smelling. The ore
Is said to be abundant and rich.
We are glad to learn that there is
a strong probability that this por-
tion of the back country" of Los
Angeles will be imm ediately de-
veloped.
The Conference Committee of
the Agricultural and Horticultural
Societies have determined to hold
the fairs of both societies during
the week commencing Monday,
Oct. 18th. An amicable arrange
ment is made by which
each organization assumes charge
of the matters coming strictly un-
der its jurisdiction, and, by this
means, while there will be no clash
ing of interests, each will receive
some benefit from the attractions
of the other. Our readers should
not infer that there is any combl-
nation like that of last year, but
merely that the Societies are
friendly in their relations with
each other, md thus amicably agree
to separate for mutual benefit.
