Inc countenance of Postmaster
Dunkelberger was observed to wear
. smile Of triumph yesterday. He
looked like a warrior who had
gathered in scalps, and who was
dscked with the various trophies Of
war and the shining panoply OF
victory. Probably the President,
tomorrow, will tell the fateful
story as to who will be Postmaster
of Los Angeles either for the next
four years or during good be.
haviour.
By announcement elsewhere Il
will be seen that the Cantata Of
the "Flower Queen" which has

Of this musical gem, amongst

anne Mara. Professor Carter will

tata. A great treat may be expect
ed by our citizens.
Early last evening party Of
three youths, all of them pretty
full, attempted to steal q robe from
. buggy standing in front OF Police
Headquarters. Chief Guard, who
had come along behind them, cried
drop it," when two Of them start
ed to run, but they were too drunk
to make quick time and were soon
overhaulsd by tho Chief. On be-
ing searched In the police office, o
box of new gutta percha combs
was found on one of them, which
was probably stolen. Any ono
who has lost property Of the kind
should be on hand at their exam.

Between IL and l o'clock last
night Deputy Sheriff J. A. Berry,
Captain Davis and three other
officers of the city police. having
learned that Moreno, the
horse thief, was ut house
In Sonora, made an attempt to ar
rest him. Moreno, who Is always
we'll armed, was prepared for the
officers, and as they approached
him commenced firing ut them,
retreRting AS he did so. He fired
seven. shots, the last one striking
Deputy Sheriff Berry in the thigh,
iDhicting q flesh wound. About 20
shots were fred by tho officers,
four from shotguns, the balance
from revOlvers, and yet Moreno,
who must bear charmed life, got
away.
With remarkable unanimity
nearly all the tramps who are ar.
raigned In Los Angeles as Migrants
announce themselves as. hailipg
from San Francisco. A few claim
to come from Yuma. With few
exceptions they are all young men,
or youths in their teens. They are
often exceedingly we'll dressed,
strange to say. Clough, who IL
under arrest for highway robbery,

ton was assuming very formidab BILE
p roportions in Los Angeles even
before 1t was complicated by high
way robbery.
Why should the spirit Of the Of
hce-seeking mortal be proud? But
the other day Gilmore seemed to
flourish, like n green.bay horse, as
an applicant for office. We think
it WAS Cardinal Wolsey who
pialntively. in his fall, in a smile.
followed the fortunes Of the veget-
able kingdom, in q memorable
soliloquy, passage Of which reads
"tte third day came q frost, .
killing FROST" with several other
observations about nipping roots,
which 1t Is not necessary just now
to psrticalarize. If We are to cred
1t rumOr, such frost work clusters
around Gilmore. According to
the followers Of the ponderous
but elated Dunkelberger, Gilmore
is just now in the melancholy
plight Of q man with blasted hopes.
Mr.. J. r. Morley. Chief Engi-
neer Of the Sonora railway, arrived
Thursday morning from = business
trip to the terminus of the A. T. &
s. F. road. We learn from him
that elk miles Of track was laid the
first three days of this week and
that the terminus was not more
than twenty-five miles from the
Southern Pacific road. The point
OF come ction has not yet been
made public. but he thinks the
junction will be made sometime In
March. Speaking Of the late In
dian raids in New Mexico, he
thinks the Indians have been
forced to return to New Mexico for
the purpose of replenishing their
supply of ammunition. They have
gone into the Black Range, where
they are liable to meet with con-
siderable trouble, as 1t Is estimated
there are about fifteen hundred
prospec tors in the range. The
number of emigrauts coming into
New Mexico is very large. He was
surprised that SO few people had
been killed when the travel on
every road was so great. Mr.. Nor.
ley has made arrangements for q
large number Of track.laysrs for
the Sonora railroad, who will be
sent down in short time.-IWc.
