Los Angeles, went to Kansas last
winter and bought farm. In a

For some time past family
named Curlew have lived in
Downey in destitute circumstances,
the family consisting of the mother
and five children, the father having
died q short time since. DR.. Wolfe
succeeded in enlisting the sympa-
thy of Father Peter, Catholic priest
of Los Angeles, and the roault was
that three of the boys were last
Tuesday forwarded to San Rafael,
where the Catholics have home
for destitute children. Mr.. HI. Nc.
Lellan generously gave the boys a
free passage on the steamer, and
the citizens here gave each one of
them new suit of clothes. An
other little waif was also sent.

County Physician Hannon on
going into his office about 10
o'clock yesterday morning found
man awaiting him whose left hand
had been nearly severed from his
arm at the wrist joint. After dress
ing the wound, assisted by DR..
Richardson, DR.. Harmon asked the
man how it had been received,
when he, who evidently belongs to
the genus tramp, and had been in
the city but a couple Of days, in.
formed the Doctor that he had
been sparring with Chinaman
the previous night. During
the melee the latter drew knife
aud, in warding off a blow, he had
been wounded. The character of
the wound, which is quite severe,
the tendons of the wrist and an ar.
terry having been severed, the Doc
tor states, bears out the truth of
the tramp's story. The man was
sent to the County Hospital, where
he will remain until his arm gets
we'll, at cost to the Taxpayers of
$40 to $40.
