A morning pspsr ia reporting


A Morning paper In reporting
the proceedings of the citizsns'
meeting, held in the Western
Union Telegraph Office last Satur.
day night, published the charge
made by one of the speakers to the
effect that the property owners OF
Los Angeles had heretofore re-
PEELED the establishment of manu-
featuring industries In this city by
the exorbitant prices demanded by
them for suitable sites for such
purposes, but failed to notice the
refutation, by ex-Mayor Bsaudry
and Ex-Governor Downey, of the
false staten ent. This may be
journalistic "enterprise,n but it is
certainly kind Of enterprise that
will not add materially to the pres
perity Of our city, or the reputa-
tion of our people.
Cur neighboring town of Santa
Ana was yesterday the scene of a
rather exciting episode. 1t appears
that gay youth, of the genus
"masher," not content with
weunding the hearts of the sus-
ceptiple dem oiselles of that lively
burg, undertook to asperse the
character Of an estimable young
lady. She, hearing of his bastard
ly conduct, yesterday morning
armed herself with stout raw
hide; and, betaking herself to the
hsunts OF the aforesaid masber,
gave him sound thrashing. The
discomfitted youth, fearing, per-
haps, that some other dem 0iselle,
taking heart of grace from the ex-
ample Of her vigorous sister, would
repeat the dose, took the first train
and transferred his scarified and
welted body to this city. Out of
delicacy for the young lady, and in
the hope that his msrited chas-
tisement will be a Lesson to the
w0uid-be masher, we refrain from
giving the names of the parties to
tho affair.
Mr.. John Sampson, while stand
ing on the new wharf at Santa
Monica yesterday morning, Law
an immense fish being chased to-
wards the shore by seals. After
the fish had reached shallow water
Mr.. Sampson jumped in and crap.
pied with it. In its struggles to
get away the fish drew its captor
towards deep water and had nearly
escaped, when a heavy breaker
came rolling in, throwing both
man and fish again into shall0w W
water. Here Mr.. Sampson caught
it under the gills and held on un-
til some men came to his assist
ance. A r0ps was made fast around
the monster and with the aid of q
horse it was dragged ashore. 1t
proved to be q jew ish and was
brought to the city yesterday after
noon, attracting considerable at
tsntion by it's great size, its weight
being 255 pounds. This species of
fish, we understand, is a faverite
food with seals, which, being un.
able TO cope with the monsters in
deep water, drive them into shal,
low water, where they become an
easy prey.
Officers Cuddy and Willing re-
turned from the Chino ranch yes.
terday evening, bringing with
them two men named Rhodes and
Haskell, arrested on q telegram
from the Chief of Police of San
Francisco, at which place they are
wanted to answer to charge Of
forgery. The men arrived in this
city on Saturday last and stopped
at the Pico House until Sunday
evening, when they left for Pomo-
M, whence they were driven to
the Chino ranch on Monday. On
the way In Rhodes admitted to
Captain Guddy that they we're the
parties wanted, In explanation OF
how they came to be at the Chino,
he stated that they had presented
letters OF recommendation to Mr..
Gird and that, had it not been for
tho untimely visit Of the officers,
they expected to have had q good
time at his magnificent place.
During their short stay in this city
they passed two checks on the
County Bank, signed by j. J.
MundheDde, one for $50 and one
for SIS, their victim being the
keeper of a bsgnio on Los Angeles
street. They. were locked up to
await the arrival OF an officer from
