Last Saturday while Don Miguel

men were out fishing on the Palos
Verdes Rancho, about five miles

The body was very much decom.

been in the water for some time.

went down to the beach to hold an

Lieutenant Pedrin, formerly an
officer under Marquee, was shot
Tuesday night in "a drunken ARRAY
by one Celestine Gonzales. The
ball entered the breast about two
inches above the heart and passed
through, coming out under the
shoulder blade. The wound Is a
dangerous but not necessarily fatal
one. Gonzales has the reputation
of being a quiet, peaceable man,
and from all accounts acted strictly
on the defensive. Pedrin refuses
to make u complaint, as he ac-
knowledges himself to be entirely
in the wrong, being under the in
fuence of liquor at the time. We
hope this will be u warning to the
gallant Lieutenant, as he has made
one or two "biutisn while here in
town that were anything but cred
liable TO him. Yuma Sentinel.
Speaker Knapp has introduced
memorial having In view the an
nexation of that portion of Arizona
lying south of the Gila river with
Southern California, and the crea-
tion of the country thereby united
into a new State. The Los Ange.
les HERALD has been advocating
the sans scheme, which, for all we
know to the contrary, may be
good one-for some people. For
instance the preponderancs Of the
present population of Southern
California over Southern Arizona
would give that section OF the new
State oil the administrative off,
ces. We have no particular Objec.
ton. In fact we have in our
minds eye several available men.
Tom Mott, Of Los Angeles, would
make good Governor; d. G. Reed,
Of San Diego, q possible but not
probable Lieutenant Governor;
Ned Hewitt for State Treasurer;
Potts for Secretary of State; Col.
Kewen for Acknowledgement; and
