Our enterprisipg fellow citizen
Mr.. Prudent Beaudry has on hand
five thousand feet-or nearly q
mile-of eight inch pipe, which he
proposes. to lay down on the hill.
He also intends to increase the Ca
pacity Of his water works, which is
a gratifying commentary upon the
rapidly increasing settlement on
the heights. Mr.. Baudry proposes
to be not only abreast OF but ahead
of the times.
There seems to be no question
that the eeances of Miss Annie Eva
Fay are the most astonishing and
inexplicable yet given to the pub

woman Of pleasing, spirituelle
appearance, and devoid of all the
presumption and trickery charac-
teristic of charlatan mediums.

the receipts Of his office during the
month of November. Right, as to

Mr.. John Donald, the agent of
the Water Company az Santa
Monica, was shot, night before
last, by Mr.. j.. p. Williams, the
schOolmaster at that place. The
incident was a most unfortunate
one-arising from dispute over

which was to have come off last
night. We gave an account of the
affair, which reached us AZ late
hour Thursday night, which was
inaccurate in some particulars, but
which was substantially correct.
Judge Morgan tells us that Donald

meet Mr.. Towne's party; and, in

the San Gorgonio Summit from
the genial level Of Los Angeles
and the Indifferent level OF the

Towne and party yesterday in
spected the mprOvements in VIII

great satisfaction with the devel-
opments in that quarter, and went
down to Santa Ana. Returning,

1t gives US pleasure to note the
success of the Santiago Gold and
Silver Mining Company-a corpo-
ration which has displayed great
energy and enterprise in develop
ing its mine in Santiago Canyon.
Some months ago they built IA
Mexican roasting furnace, and the
lead bullion produced after passing
through the roasting process has
been assayed by Thomas Price of
San Francisco, whose certificate of
assay we have seen. The bullion
went $505 SO to the ton--a result
highly satisfactory to the company,
who are more than ever convinced

We regret to be compelled
to record another shooting
afray in this county within
the last twenty.feur hours. Yester-
day afternoon, between two
and three O'Clock, Mr.. Beck,
proprietor of a small lodging
house on the corner of Third
and Spring streets, went around
to the New York Brewery for the
purpose OF getting some yeast.
After ordering his yeast, he stepped
into some room In the establish
ment. One OF the employees,
named Maier, seeing him there,
told him to go out. Beck replied
in a manner highly unconplimen-
tary, wbereupon Maier struck him
several blows. Beck dropped his
yeast and pulled out q pistol, which
snapped at the first trial, but went
off the second time, the bullet TAX
ing effect in Maier's left arm,
just above the elbow, making an
ugly flesh wound but otherwise
doing no damage. Both parties
were taken in charge, Maier being
discharged absolutely and Mr..
Beck being released upon ball.
