terday. Olive Lodge, No. 26, Knights
of Pythias assisted by La Fraternite

The nttention Of persons seeking q
place where the comforts Of home can
be had, is directed to the advertisement
of the La Fayette Hotel. The house
has been renovated and refitted through
out and is kept in first class style.
A report reached town at a late hour
last night that serious wreck had oc-
CURED near Calico yesterday evening.
A. construction train was sent out from
here with all the necessary materials for
rendering assistance. 1t was too late,
however, for us to verify the report.
All Keep, a Chinaman, was arraigned
before Justice Ling yesterday on the
charge. of malicious mischief, shooting
. mare. valued at 5000. the property Of
Il. W. Jones. He plead not guilty and
was discharged on his own recognizance
to appear for trial when called upon.
Mr.. S. C. Mott, who is so pleasantly
remembered by many as the agent of
the Mrs. Batess Dramatic Combination,
is in the city as the business manager Of
Andrews a. Stockwell's Ideal Pantomime
and Star Speciality Company. Mr..
Motifs numerous friends were very glad
to see him in our midst again SO soon.
The examination of Benjamin Avis.
charged with perjury by Register Of
Land, johnson, occupied the entire day
yesterday inthe Office of United States
Commissioner Lee The taking of testi-
mony not having been completed at 5
o'clock, the matter was continued till
this morning at 10 o'clock. A large
number Of witnesses were examined and
moie are to be put on the stand to-day.
Attention is directed to the double
column advertisement Of Mr.. VIM. Pin
gree, who has opened carriage reposi-
tory ut No. AZ Los Angeles street. His
stock includes every dSscription'of bug
gies, carriages and other vehicles manu-
factured by the Abbott Buggy Company,
of Chicago, from material prepared to
suit this climate. Mr.. Pingee extends
a cordial Invitation to every body to
call and examine his stock.
There is promise Of something in the
nature Of set-to at San Pedro before
long. II seems that there is considera-
bic dissatisfaction over General Banning
not employing men at San Pedro to do
his unloading there, instead of bringing
his force up from Wilmington. The ru-
mors were, however, too underlined to
warrant making reliable report of the
trouble. A meeting Of the dissatisfied
is to be held tonight, when, no doubt,
something definite can be learned Of the
muddie.
Dolmans and ulsters reduced at Joseph
Murtagh 4 Co. 5, ll6 Main street.
Trouble seems to be brewing in official
quarters. arising from the City Attorney
not being allowed deputy for police
business. 1t seems that when police
officers make ali arrest at night and call
upon the City Attorney to draw upa
complaint they are kept waiting. thus
Keeping them from their beats and their
duties. In justice to Mr.. Stephenson.
it mast be said that he shows every dis |
position to hurry up matters, but rush
Of other city business prevents his at
tending to police matters more promptly
than he does.
Major II. NJ. Mitchell. who occupied
law offices in Temple Block. We learn.
has retired temporarily from the prac-
tice of his profession SO that he may
give his undivided attention to putting
his ranch, on the ysrdugo, in order.
He expects, however, to have every
thing on his place in apple-pie condition
within year, or two years at thu most,
when he intends to resume his law prac-
tice. While wishing the Major great
success in his agricultural operations,
We cannot but regret that we shall have
to miss his familiar figure from our
streets for SO long time.
