Judge Bragg is announced as
candidate for the Office of City Re-
corder. He comes before the pub
lie for their suffrages at the earn
est solicitation of many of our citi-
zens. None would fill the trust
| with more honesty or ability than
Judge Bragg should he be elected.
| We had the pleasure Of meeting
In the city yesterday ex.Lieuten-
ant-Governor James A. johnson.
The Governor was last in Los An
geles when the branch of the Su-
preme Court was established here.
His many friends in various Sec
lions Of the State are warmly urg.
ing him for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor next Fall.
The attention of the public is in
vited to the emphatic card in
which Mr.. E. FL. Sweetser, of the
Central Block Jewelry Store, rec
ON M ends his successor, Mr.. Plat,
| to the public favor. While sta
| toned in Chicago Mr.. Platt had
the reputation of being the most
| accomplished matchmaker and en-
graver IN the West. The new firm
of Plat q Page will have the ben
eft of his exceptional skill.
| AS KANSAS, Nebraska and iowa
are sending poultry to the Califor-
MIA markets, it would be well for
our poultrymen to turn their atten-
tion to this fact, as it is passing
strange that this lower country,
| with Its continuous summer, can
not supply the northern counties
with this class OF produce, at rates
cheap enough to shut out tue COM
petition of producers who have hot
only to contend with a severe vim
ter but have also to pay Il heavy
freight.
We had tho pleasure OF q call
yesterday from Mr.. T.. II. Calkins,
the agricultural editor of the fam
Gus Burlington Haa0keye. Mr..
CaIkins has spent some weeks in
New Mexico and Arizona aud IA
AZ w III ltttcISiuts Il3 tx
presses himself delighted with hle
novel experiences. He IL the
guest of his brother, who has been
resident of Los Angeles for some |
years. Before he leaves for the
East, Mr.. @. will take pretty |
general view of matters and things |
Ia Los Angeles county. We trust |
that his stay amongst us will be
pleasant.
In the matter of widening, lay
ing out and Strengthening, etc.
Los Angeles street, the Commits
sioners appointed by the Superior
Court to ward compensations for
all property condemned, met yes
terday ia the Board of Supervisors |
room, at IL O'Clock, and passed the
following motion, viz; that the
Secretary should, prior to the next
meeting ION the 22d inst, at 10 |
o'clock) notify all property holders
Interested, by publication, to at
tend the next meeting personally |
or seHd in IL sworn statement Of |
rentals received, taxes, etc., and |
all other data which would enable |
the Commissioners to arrive at the |
value of the property sought to be |
condemned.
There was quite u sensational |
episode in the taking of some tes-
timony, in proceeding entrusted
by the Superior Court to Commits
sloners. in the office OF Messrs.
Brunson & Wells, yesterday. Dur
ing the delivery of some evidence
by Mr.. w. @. Furrey, Mr.. IL. d.
Barrows became very much excit-
ed; and, 1t is alleged, placed his
hand on his hip pocket and threat
ened to blow the witnesses brains
out. AS s. result OF the incident
Nj. Furrey yesterday afternoon
~ ore out II warrant against his
former partner and there will Do IL
hearing ia the case before Judge
Adams this morning.
The rage for establishing fine
know no limit. The success af Mr..
Cogswell's Sierra Madre villa ex-
pertinent has given a great impe-
tus to the movement. Mr.. Yos-
berg, a wealthy Arizonan, has pur-
chased the place of Mr.. Davis, inn
mediately above the Sierra Madre
villa, and be now has fifty or sixty
Cinnamon at work, grabbing out
rocks and piling them in the ra-
vines, preparatory to starting vine-
yards and orange and lemon
groves. Mr. Vosberg 10 spending
money on princely scale; and, in
o few years, he will doubtless have
one of the crack places of the San
Gabriel valley. For the one hun
dred and twenty acres which he is
now SO lavishiy improving, TO-
gether with an important water
right, Mr.. Vosberg paid $4,000.
The second entertainment given
by the Baptist church at Good
Templars' Hall last night was we'll
attended, the hall being crowded.
The programme was very inter-
esting enc, and inClud ed the ShoO
Fly Brigade song, which afforded
an iRlmense amouns of pleasure to
the audience, the clever way in
which it was delivered rejecting |
great credit on Miss Lillian Fei-
lows. She must have had a great |
deal of patience with her young |
performers. The piano solo by lit
tie Lottie Gould ELECTED Il good |
deal of applause and admiration.
1t is almost Incredible that such |
m mastery of this instrument could
have been accomplished by one SO
young. The affair has been sue |
