Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-02-05

with the arrest of Chapman and
Flowers, charged with stealing a
couple of cows at Florence. The
city police, as we'll as the Sheriff,
had been apprised of the theft.
After the alleged thieves had been
captured by the latter, mounted
policeman rode up to the Sheriff,s
office having in charge young
man whom he wanted to turn over
to Major Mitchell as one of the sus-
pssted thieves. His chagrin may
be better imagined than described
when he was informed that his
prisoner, instead of being one of the
culprits, was one of the parties
from whom the cows had besn
stolen and who had been principal
ly instrumental in the capture of
the suspected parties.
The following notice was handed
us to-day with a request for publi-
cation. We give it verbatim eft
literalim ct punctuatim, etc:

We were guilty of slight mac.
curacy In yesterdays HERALD in
our notice of the yield of the we'll
of the Los Angeles Oil Company in
the Sespe. Two hundred and twen-
ty-five barrels We're pumped out in
the space of twenty.four hours. At
terwards the well yielded reliably
at the rate Of one hundred and
twenty barrels to the twenty-four
hours. Mr.. Hawkins, Of San Fran.
cisco, one of the earliest stockhold-
ers in the company and the staunch-
est believer in the Sespe, witnessed
this yield and expressed himself
delighted With the outlook.
The Council would do an accept
able thing by employing few
men, after rains, to scrape the prin-
cipal street crossings, if only for
half day. AS it is they are near
ly impossible to men, to say moth
Ing of ladies. We would also sug.
gest that persons who have quag.
mires in front of their properties
should sprinkle thereon the sur.
plus household ashes, thus max.
ing, in time, a firm and dry side
walk.
