vorce was rendered to the entire

burglar, who was shot and wound

WAS recommitted to Jail.
Elsewhere appears the ADVERTISE
ment Of the Liverpool & London g.
Globe Insurance Company, which
is ably represented In Los Angeles
by the resident agent, Mr.. w. J.
Brodrick. 1t is enough to say of
his Incompatible company that it
has paid $65. 600, 900 since it's organ
izatiOn, and that over thirteen
hundred wealthy shareh olders
make its policies practically
bond from fate for reliability and
security.
A really unpleasant incident of
the late fire is the disaster to Wig
nolo & Sons. AS q result they
have made an assignment to Mr.. j.
g. Deming, of Deming, Palmer g.
Co., for the benefit of their credi-
tors. This action is entirely satis-
factory to the Los Angeles credi.
tors, and telegraphic advices from
San Francisco show that the
Golden Gate creditors are equally
complaisaDt. The Messrs. VignolO
nave the hearty good will of this
community in their mercantile
misfortune.
That splendid company, of
worldwide fame. the Liverpool,
London & Globe, represented in
Los Angeles by Mr.. w. J. Brod-
rick, is large loser by the late
fire in this city. We risk nothing
in predicting that it will come up
to the situation In it's old thorough
bred style. 1t will pay Its losses
with it's customary degage grace,
and make its patrons feel now, as
always, that their lines are cast in
pleasant places in being insured in
a company which really has an in.
ternational reputation.
The Messrs. Vign nolo o. Son, fol.
lowing the disastrous fire of yester.
day, have made an assignment to
J. G. Deming, Of Deming. Palmer
& Co. This assignment embraces
everything belonging to the firm,
and IS made for the benefit of the
creditors. It is unGerstood to be
satisfactory both to the creditors
here and in San Francisco. Mr..
VignOlO is all old and hOn0red citi-
zen, and he will carry with him
the good will of the people of Los
Angeles in his involuntary and
lamentable misfortune.
