We had the pleasure of a call
yesterday from Hon. Warren
Chase, iitor of the Santa Barbara
Independent, and one of the Sena-
tors elect of the next California
Legislature. Mr.. Chase is II gen.
tleman of intellect and reflection;
and, while we do not endorse all
his ideas, we recognize him as a
worthy representative of the anti.
Republican impulse in American
politics-anti-Republican, but gen.
timely republican nevertheless.
He Will be here during the Fair.

keep lookout. Last evening tel
egram WAS received from Deputy

The Santa Barbara Press reports
that body which had evidently
been washed up by the sea, was
found on the beach just east OF
Stearns's wharf last Thursday. 1t
was identified as that of G. Weed,
widely and favorably known in
connection with Santa Barbara
since very early day. About two
or three week ago Mr.. Weed dis
appeared, but as the same thing
had happened several times before
no alarm was felt. The body had
evidently been in the water some
time, but was in a good state OF
preservation and exhibited no
marks Of violence upon which to
base a theory that a murder had
been committed. 1t is more than
probable that Mr.. Weed was car
ried out to sea while bathing In the
surf, of which he was more than
usually fond. This superstition is
supported by the fact that he was
last seen in the neighborhood Of
the beach.

Harter sends a box containing
twenty varieties of apples grown
