recorded in this county, according
to the personal diary of Mr.. John

On Saturday evening young
German, named Edward Schwa,
aged about IA years, while out in a
boat on Bsllona Lake, near the
Will Tell house, hunting ducks,
fell into the lake and was drowned.
Two boys, who accompanied him
to the lake, rem ained on the shore
and, therefore, where unable to
render him any assistance. Search
was made for his body on Sunday
but without success, and it Is sup.

parents, who are newcomers to
Los Angeles county, on the Brea

From the meager particulars that
we have been adle to gather it APP
pears that the East.bound freight
and emigrant train, which left on
Sunday evening, collided with u
Westb0und freight train, between

we have been able to learn. The
West.bound train, we understand,
was q special and the presumptiO
is that 1t was running out of time.
Both locomotives and thirty.two
cars are reported demolished.
