the same as above. The second

We would respectfully suggest to
the Board Of Public Works of the
City Council that that portion oi
the crossing In front Of the HER
ALE office, from the east rail OF the
Spring and Sixth street railway to
the west side of the street. is In q
very bad condition apd at one
place is 80 broken that 1t 10 liza biz
to result In serious damage to any
horse that might get its fsot
caught. Aside from censidera.
tion of . possible bill fer dsgsges,
1t is one OF the most frequently
Travelled crossings in the city and
therefore ought to be in coed con-
dition. As 1t is now, in the way OF
q Dressing, 1t is mere sham and
delusion.
One of the most beneficial rains
of the season com "a menced to fall at
a quarter before 10 O'Clock Sunday
night aud continued at in.
tervals until about S P. M.
yesterday. From information
received from gentlemen who
came into the city yesterday tn
rain seems to have been general
throughout ihs county. In the
city up to l O'Clock, according to
Mr.. G. Ducommun's gauge, 64-
100ths had fallen. Since that hour
fully as much more must have
come down, az the heaviest rain Of
the season, lasting over All hour,
fell between and 3 O'Clock. The
Signal Service officer reports LA
inches up to 8:l5 last evening.
The woolen mill reservoir is
filled with water up to within five
feet OF it's summit. In company
with Msjor Toler we walked out
there last Sunday, and found that
quite a lumber Of carp, one of
them weighing about seven
pounds, were dead, and had float
cd to the shore Of the miniature
lake. What the cause of this pisoa-
torial mortality was we do not
know, but can hardly think that
mischievOus people have intro.
ducsd any thing inimical to Ash
life into the reservoir. Majer Teller
is OF srinien that millions Of CARP
must now inhsbit this large body
of water. 1t 10 q little over q year
since he stocked it with carp,
which he brought down from San
Bernsrdino county. We heartily
hope that no more dead fab will be
reported on its borders.
Judge A. J. King tells US that
his client, Henry T. Hunt, who
was sentenced to the Penitentiary
for life for the murder Of George
Gillis, at the Monte, was con.
founded with Elswig Hunt, the
man who was killed in Arizona,
the other day. by the Tombstone
posse of Deputy Sheriff Brsckin-
ridge. The Arizona Hunt, who
handed in his checks 80 sum mari
ly, was said to be q mest desperate
character, eight or ten indict n ts
having been found against him in
various States. The Judge thinks
that his client got the benefit of all
the reported misdeeds OF Elswig
Hunt. This may be; but every
body who knew George Gillis, one
of the most amiable and inuffsns-
i've Of men, will think that his
murder by Hunt of itself deserved
sentence to the Penitentiary for
life, with remainder over, II such
were possible. The Judge assures
us that, after communicating with
many places where Hunt was al.
legged to have committed atroci.
ties, Sheriff Rowland was con.
WINGED that the Monte desperate
was not tho man who had figured
in those escapades. We give the
Judges statements for what they
are worth.
