e. Church every night this week. Rev.
M. G. Settle preached last night and to-
night the pulpit will be occupied by
Rev. w. A. Petty, of Texas. A cordial
invitation is extended to everybody to
attend.
Only about one quarter as many sheep
will be assessed in this county this year
as there were last season. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that so few Los
Angeles sheep men have driven their
stock here for pasturage this spring. No
complaints are heard, however, at the
absence of these animals. s.-San Bernar-
dino Inder.
The following are the exports from
Anaheim depot the first five days of the
month: Eggs, 36 cases, 2,l6O lbs;
oranges, lemons and lines, 6, los lbs;
walnuts, 24O lbs; honey, 100 lbs; poultry,
$40 lbs; butter, 246 lbs; bacon, Z, $50 lbs,
wine and brandy, 50, 200 lbs; wool, go, 3S2
lbs; corn, 47,90O lbs; total, lSl, ,l43
pounds, or over 80 tons. The imports
during the same period amounted to
96,035 pounds, or 4S tons.
There is no need of going far away
from home to find good mine any long,
er. AT the newly located district of Es-
peranza, below Aqua Mansa, three tons
of ore have just been run through an
arastra, by Messrs. Wallace and Mer-
chant, and the very satisfactory clean
up of over $50 per ton was made. That
is pretty good, and if the rock only
holds out at anything near that rate we
may expect to see booming camp at
that place. Bernardino Inder.
There was fair attendance at Agri-
cultural Park yesterday, the second day
OF the Spring meeting races. The first
race, running, half mile and repeat, be-
tween Gray Mist, Wide Eyes and Tom
Paine, was won by the former in two
straight heats, Wide Eyes taking second
money. The second race, quarter mile
dash, between Gray and Bay, was won
by the latter. The programme for to-
day is good one and should attract
large crowd to the Park.
The San Francisco train arrived about
two hours behind time yesterday morn
ing. Doc Dunlap, who was passen
ger, informs us that the detention was
caused by double accident at Goshen.
1t appears that the north bound freight
train ran off the switch, overturning the
engine. While the down passenger
train was running on to the Y" to get
by the obstruction, the forward truck of |
the sleeping coach got off the track, the
replacing of which caused a stoppage of
about three hours. Fortunately no one
was injured by either accident
Mr.. l.. M. Holt, editor of the River
side Press and HorticulturiSt, we learn,
is being prominently talked of as the
Republican candidate for State Senator
from the district composed of San
Diego and San Bernardino counties. |
Barring his politics, we do not know a
more suitable man in the district, or one |
who would work harder for his constitu- |
ency, but as the election of Democrat |
from that district is a foregone conclu-
sion, we would rather see less worthy
man sacrificed. Stick to your quill,
brother Holt, this is not going to be a
good year for Republicans on the Pacific
Coast, especially in Southern California.
A personal friend of Mrs. Helen Hunt |
Jackson makes the following correction |
of an editorial item which appeared in
the HERALD: "The paragraph which ar-
peared in the HERALD of the 9th inst,
referring to Mrs. jackson, is good il
lustration of the mistakes people make |
who base statements on unreliable hear
say. Mr.. Jackson's home is not Den
yer. She did not visit California for the |
purpose of writing it up and so far from
being disappointed in Los Angeles, she
has again and again expressed her strong
preference for this region over all the
other regions she has seen in Southern
California, and she is much pleased with
all parts of our part of the State. This
say of my own personal knowledge,
knowing her well and having accompa-
MED her ON several of her journeys"
We learn the following additional par
ticulars in regard to the operations of
Robert Scott, whose arrest is noted
elsewhere: 1t appears that he induced
the school girls to visit his place, a
music store near the corner of Temple
and New High streets, by offering to
print them visiting cards gratis.
After winning their confidence he
would show them pictures of made
male and female figures, but whether he
took any other advantage of them is not
known, as the children are all very reti-
cent. Some of them were very much
shocked, one girl in particular saying
that she would not 60 into his place
again for thousand dollars, Learning
that suspicious were excited in regard to
his proceedings, Scott, who is man
about fifty years old, yesterday sold
out his stock in trade, consisting of some
musical instruments and lot of sheet
music; and, had he not been pounced
upon by the Chief of Police and Captain
Cuddy at the time he was, he would
probably have left the city by last even
ino's train
