will on the part of this community

is q special social favorite, would

Mr.. Fred Staples arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday in charge of
Mr.. George Blume King, SOL of
Judge A. J. King. Mr.. X. was a
m ember of Capt. Bates's engineer
ing party, which is now on the
Mojave Desert. Last Sunday, at
Grapevine, he was handling his
pistol, which went off suddenly,
the ball entering the left arm
above the wrist and coming out
near the shoulder, disabling him,
for the present, from active work.
There should be a generous re-
spouse on the part of our citizens
to the appeal for the establishment
Of Veterans Home in California,
The brave bulwarks of the coun-
try's safety and glory have de-
served we'll of the people and their
claim should be recognized. Sew.
eral OF the collectors inform US
that they have met with good sue
cess, but the movement should re-
ceive far more universal recogni-
ton and support.
From Mr.. VIM. Godfrey, who re-
turned last night from Calico and
vicinity, we learn that everything
in that lively camp is progressing
finely. The Young Waterman has
developed another large body of
fabulously rick rock and gives good
promise of even rivaling its older
namesake, while across the gulch
from 1t the Walthal, owned by
capt. Covington, Horton, Davis
and others, has opened out vein
that astonishes even the owners.
We saw a specimen of the rock
from this claim that was nearly
pure silver. Two shifts are work.

On Tuesday evening last, be.
tween 6 and 7 o'clock, drunken
row took place at Hank Browns
corral, which has resulted serious.
ly to at least one of the parties con-
cerned in it. Il seems that one
Lefevre was in the employ of
Brown & Hobbs, and thinking
himself ill-treated in some manner,
complained to Hobbs and finally
became abusive to him. High
words ensued and Lefevre ran at
Hobbs with a pitchfork, which the
latter snatched out of his
hand, hitting him over the
head with the handle. The
man fell, and it was thought
that he was only temporarily
stunned and but little notice was
taken of 1t, until he grew worse,
when medical aid was called in,
but it was too late, and yesterday
the man died from the effects of
the blow. From all accounts the
parties had been drinking and both
were under the influence of liquor
when the affair occurred. San

The probability is that, If brea
had to be imported from Portland,
Oregon, our city would rejoice in
fine asphaltum sidewalks. AS brea
lies all around US, in illimitable
quantities; as it is cheap and very
accessible, for the most part Los
Angeles rel oicss in a lot of rotten
sidewalks, the most conspicuous
feature of which are the protrud-
ing, rusty nails. 1t has always
surprised us that half our popula-
ton do not die of Iockjsw. If
man stumbles around almost any
where, aud encounters a rusty nail,
tetanus il the instant result. But
here, where lockjaw is dealt out
on the wholesale principle, the
disease is practically exotic. Los
Angeles, within few miles Of in.
exhaustible brea fields, has wooden
sidewalks, with trif1ing exceptions,
and very poor ones at that. Port
land, within easy reach Of the
finest lumber fiel is of the Ameri-
can continent, has fine asphaltum
and stone pavsments. Such is life.
The perverss contrarieties to be en-
countered everywhere gives it
much Of its spice.
While there was nothing excit-
ing In City Justice Adams's court
yesterday the docket was quite full
of unimportant entries. John HaT
ley, arraigned for drunk and dis
orderly conduct, was tried and
convicted by the court, without q
Jury, and allotted fine of SO, or
nine days in the chain gang. The
same fate befell John O'Nelll, who
was guilty of the heinous offence
of battery on the person OF Flora

Judge Adams was impelled to this
somewhat austere sentence by Il
recollection of that line Of one of
the most popular OF the British
dramatists, that "the man who
lifts his hand against woman, save
in the way of kindness, is wretch

Stewart pleaded guilty to fighting
