If the testimony given by Mrs.
Kelley before Justice Carrillo, yes
terday, is TO be believed, we have In
Los Angeles, in the person of Mrs.

Mrs. Kelley. in detailing the mode
of attack, said that Mrs. Smith
caught her by the hair of the head
with both hands, in which she had
two rocks, with which she b.al

The Fort Street Methodist Epis-
copal Church was crowded last
night by a large and fashionable
audience to hear the famous Hutch
inson family. These talented peo.
pie have been celebrities for SO long
a period that they need but little
commendation from us. Wewere
especially pleased by the Freed
men and camp meeting features o
the programme. In addition to
line, mellow voices, the Hutchiu-
sons are artistic Ia the widest ap-
probation of the word. The printed
programme is frequently departed
from, to the decided benefit of the
audience, for they got more than
was nominated in the bond. Sew
eral fiue recitations varied the vo-
cal exercises. They will sing again
tonight, in the same place.
