A rumor being in circulation that
DR.. Winston is not a practicing
physician, it is we'll that we should
state that the Doctor has not only
a diploma from one of the most
famous medical universities of the
United States but from two of
them, and to add that he has al
ways practiced his profession, more
or less, during his long residence
in Los Angeles. There can be only
two drawbacks to the Doctors
claims for the position of Health
Officer, viz, he is not profession
al ofiice-seeker and he has lived in
this city longer than he should
have dOne-nearly thirty years, in
fact.
Some of the streams at San
Bernardino were so swollen
by the recent rains as to rem
der them impossible. At o'clock
P. NJ. last Saturday Judge H. M.
Willis, started for his home at old
San Bernardino, and while trying
to cross City Creek, his horse was
thrown off his feet, and horse and
buggy commenced going down
stream. The Judge jumped
out and swan ashore with
out any serious damage to
himself, but his buggy was a total
wreck. Later in the evening
three Cinnamon, with two horses
and wagon, undertook to cross the
same stream, and one OF them was
drowned, and also both of the
horses. The body of the Chi1aman
has not yet been found. The
estimated rainfall is three inches.
We had pleasant call yesterday
from Col. Carpenter, the editor of
the Pima County Record. He was
accompanied by his genial friend
Major Sturm. What is more, this
frontier editor was also accom-
panied by his newly welded Mexi-
can wife. They are on bridal tour
which will embrace San Francisco,
for which place they left overland
yesterday. Col. Carpenter claims
to hail from the Paris of America,
Tucson. He regrets very much
that he did not start his paper be-
fore the Eastern election, as he
thinks if 1t had been in ex-
istence New York and
Ohio would have gone DEM
ocratic. In his prospectus-he
showed us the first number of his
paper-he says that he enters the
newspaper guild to get wealthy
and live in n six story house. BY
the way, this Benedict is also Re-
corder Of Pima county. We beg to
throw our editorial slipper after the
young folks.
