Judge Sepulveda, in day or two, will |
be replaced on the bench Of the Superior
Court by Judge Hines, Of Ventura. He |
left yesterday on q trip Of rest and recre-
alton, which will possibly occupy six
weeks during which time he will visit |
the City Of Mexico. If ever man has
earned an occasional vacation it is Judge |
Sepulveda. For a decade past he has |
been working like a wheel-horse. We |
trust that this elegant and accomplished |
gentleman and able jurist will return to |
Los Angeles thoroughly rejuvenated. |

of all kinds to crowd our thoroughfares. |
