The pail OF Iue Los AuSSios
Guards on the tight of the 4th was,
like all the hops given by this fa-
vorite company, a most enjoyable
affair, the only regret being that
the seeming shortness of the night
forced them to put period to their
enjoyment.
A largo party of young people
who have been camping at Eaton

they clam bered over the falls aud
up the rugged walls of the csflon.

Messrs. e. Beswick, S. A. jack
son and others, of La Puente

bagged 30S of the pests, go having
been taken In from one burrow.
On the morning of the 81, the same
party killed 130, making total on
the two days of 43S.
One of the finest displays in the
procession of the 4th was that of D..
Mahlstedt, of the Philadelphia
Brewery, who, although he had a
sufficient stock on hand for the
needs of his business, sent to San
Francisco for several bales of hops,
to make his display complete. His
beer on tap was highly appreciated
by the thirsty pedestrians in his
vicinity.
The races at the Park on Fri
day were among the best that have
taken place this season. The
match for two-year-olds was won

in two straight heats, trotting the
last heat without break. The
match between Johnny Wiggle
and Tommy Gates was Won by the
PAGER, after q close contest of four
heats.
About 3 o'clock on the afternoon
of the 4th, the roof of the residence
of Ex-Governor Downey, on Main

The boys scrambled to the roof, and
in a very short time had the incipi-
ent blaze extinguished. About s
feet square of the roof was burned
through, and the furniture In the
room below was somewhat DAM
aged by water.
We call attention to the adver-

bee ranch for sale. 1t includes over
100 stands of bees and pre-emption
claim of 100 acres, 80 acres of which
are fenced. The owner has been
making a profit on it but, owing to
u recent accident which caused
him the loss of both hands, he
must give up the business. Ad-
