tractive display will be made to-

pletely filled last night to hear Mrs.
Addie Ballou. The audience Sc.
lected various subjects to be dilated
upon, such as "The Origin of Man."

New Constitution" etc. She was
listened to with close attention, and
literally applauded for the able

some hall to be hereafter deslg-

A California lion has been hay
ing q good time on the Serrano
ranch for some time, aud saamed to
think that an ordinarysizsd horse
each day was as little as he could
get along with; at least, a person
would think so from his action.
Last week he killed two yearling
colts and one horse that would |
weigh about nine hundred pounds. |
Last Wednesday evening Edward
Honey, Andy Frame, Ida Frame
and a man who is herding horses
for ]. G. Hickey, started after him
with their dogs, and after hunting
until near midnight, were about to |
give 1t up as failure, and return |
home. AS they were returning
home large dog owned by Mr.
Honey struck his trail and in a
few minutes started his lionship
and rut him up tree. The party |
then came up, and after discharg-
ing several loads Of buckshot into |
him, felled him to the ground. 1t
was male, and weighed about $50 |
pounds and measured seven feet
six inches from tip to tip. His
body was five feet long and he
would stand two and one.half feet
