General Sheridan, which was agreed to.

Chaplin made the quotation in the course Of his

having come near enough to Santa Cruz to
endanger the town, it has occurred to the citizens
that they ought to be put out. Fires have been
blazing IN the California woods all summer; fires
eat the timber there every summer, and nobody
