The short dramatic season given
by the Owla, cIOsei at Turn Verein
Hall last night to the most brilliant
audience of the season, the house
being crowded in every part.

to be so coon withdrawn.

From the subjoined item, which
we clip from the Union, 1t will be
seen that the tramp nuisance has
reached San Diego: We are sorry
to see an increased number of PEG.
ple in town without visible means
of support. This is no place for

about midsummer, but not now.
Men possessing some little means
can do well here; no place on the
coast offers finer advantages. But
San Diego is the last town "dead
broken man should seek.

ceptionai courtesy and bobhom-
mic. The travelling public will
greatly regret that the genial Ma.
Tor from railway man has be-
come book keeper in the Farmers &
M ercbants' Bank. He replaces in
that popular and sterling institu.

accomplished and responsible gen

devote his attention to Arizona.
