convicted of false pretences and was sent to
State prison for two years and half. Ore
poor German from Bethlehem Centre, Alba
ny county, finding himself swindled out OF
$3.50 in this manner, was 80 distressed about
it that he swallowed some tincture of aeon
ite. The sharper, frightened at the result
of his fraud, returned the German his mon
ey. In course of time the would-be suicide,
with the assistance of the hospital surgeon,
recovered.
Once in while the horse sharper finds Il
victim among the residents of this city.
One New Yorker bought horse at sta
BILE and paid $50 for it. 1t was fine look
ing young animal, but when the purchaser
exercised it he found that il had to stop
every few steps to breathe. He gave the
horse back and got worthless note in re-
turn. Another man boughta horse for 5000.
The animal was guaranteed to trot inside
of $50 When the purchaser exercised it
he found that it trotted with its fore legs
and ran with its hind legs, and that its
speed was about mile in five minutes. He
also got a worthless no.e upon returning
the horse.

The Great Reavis Grant

The Florence, Arizona, Enterprise
thus goes for our townsman, James Ad-
Olson Reavis. and his 8, ,000. 900 acres of
land 1--WE desire to say to all the peo-
pie living ON the so-called Peralta grant
that . quit-claim or any other kind Of
deed from J. Addison Reavis will be of
no benefit to them even if he should,
through fraud and bribery. succeed in
securing confirmation of the fraudulent
grant, for the reason that his title to it
is valueless. 1t was acquired after DR..
Vikings death through an old power of
attorney made by Willing, or claimed to
have been made by Willing before his
death. If the grant should be confirmed
the heirs of the Willing estate would
step in and upset the Reavis title, aud
those who had paid Reavis for deeds
would be compelled to buy again. The
heirs in question have already given no.
tice to that effect, through an advertise
ment in the Enterprise. Then again.
the heirs of Peralta could come in and
set the Willing title aside. for the reason
that the deed from Perslta to Willing
was not acknowledged before Notary
Public, as required by law. There was
not even witness to his signature. bat
Reavis has endesvored to cover up this
fatal weakness by securing parties to
certify to the genuineness of the sigma
ture, long after both Peralta and Willing
had died. The thing for the people to do
is to join hands at once and kill this
fraud without delay, otherwise it will
cast cloud over their titles for years to
come."

camp Meeting.


At 1880 yesterday Elder Lougborough
conducted Bible reading Tor the benefit
OF church members, showing their mu.
tual obligations. In the afternoon Mrs.
White gave an informal talk to the as
sembled campers, on the subject Of
health as affected by the food we eat
She said that most people were in dan
ger Of running to extremes. Learning
that certain articles OF food were not
healthful, they would discard almost
everything and be in danger Of sIarva-
tion. She said that thsre was great
objection to the use Of meat. because
that which is apparently healthy is often
diseased. But II persons do not eat meat
they must supply its place with other
nourishing food. She especially depre-
Gated that so-called "refolm" which con-
sists in semi-starvation. Many practical
hints were given 10 the ladies, concern
ing household matters, the providing Of
food in sufficient variety, and preparing
it in such manner as to be the most
palatable.
Elder Healy preached at 1880 on the
subject of the Sabbath, giving the prin-
cipal reason why they observe Saturday
as the Sabbath. Believing that the te II
commandments constituted the moral
law, they hold that the law is still in
full force, and bin'ling upon all. Then
by following the Fourth Commandment
literally, they are led to the observance
Of the seventh day. Many arguments
were adduced to show that this COM
mand has never been changed. being as
old as the creation of which the Sab
bath Is a memorial
The programme for to-day is as fol-
lows: Sabbath school at $50 AN;
preaching by Elder Loughborough at
1880 A. M; by Mrs. e. G. White at
2;3O, and by Elder Waggoner at 7;30.

Youthful Burglars.


Chief Cuddy last night made very
important arrest of gang of youthful
burglars, who have been operating for
some time past in burglarizing private
houses, groceries and churches. These
young scoundrels have been for some
time past operating on the stores, DWELL
ings and churches in the Third Ward.
Chief Cuddy has besn on the alert for
this gang. and yesterday evening cap
tured six Of the little sc0undrels, whose
names are suppressed for public reasons.
They had stolen little Of everything.
E. Fishers' store they had robbed Of a
lot Of cigarettes. a box of cigars, salt
cellar and box Of thread and another
Of candy. The bell in the cash drawer
was so loud that It frightened the rascals
away.
The Fort Street NJ. 4. Church, it
seems. they had entered several times.
The last time they went there they stole
sS27 from the contribution box, and
then set fire to the shed near by. to
make blaze that should burn the
church aud hide their tracks.
Its needless to say that their little
job did not work. They then robbed the
cellar Of Mr.. Nisdecken Of q lot OF
honey, envelopes. paper. matches, three
old books. and lot Of cigarettes were
taken. One Of this gang had been en-
gagged in robbing his fathers chicken
roost. The NJ. E. Church they had en-
tered twice before and stolen what they
chose. 1t is supposed that they were
the gang that robbed the Eintracht So
loon, short time ago, aud been en-
gagged in numerous other burglaries.
These young rascals are from 10 to IA
years Of age, but appear to be hardened
criminals of the worst kind. The Chief
has evidently broken up the gang.

The Grain Yield.

Careful estimates have been made Of
the probable yield Of wheat and barley
during the present season. The whole
amount Is calculated at 81. 3l6, 400 bush
els of wheat and 24.577, 900 Of barley,
which. after deducting the probable
home consumption of 100000 tons,
caves about 1880. 900 tons for export.

Visit of a Scientist.

Mr.. Henry G. Hanks, the accom-
plished State mneralogist, returned yes.
terday from visit to the petrolia oil
lands, north Of Anaheim, that are now
being developed by the Chandler OIL
Company. The Professor is we'll pleased
with the district, which is saturated
with lubricating oil of the best quality.
1t is supposed that light oil can be OBJ
tanned by deeper wells. The oil as it
rises towards the surface, under the in
fluence Of The heat Of the sun, increas.
in density, as the volatile portion passes
under the effect Of heat, till near the
surface oil that started from depth Of
1000 feet at q gravity of As degrees, be-
comes nearer the surface, about 2S de-
grees, which is just what is needed for
fuel and for Iubricating machinery. OF
course the shallow wells get less oil than
the deep ones, but there is this cornpen.
sation that nature furnishes. While the
deep wells Of light oil give more oil than
the shallow wells, the deep wells cost
,wice as much as the shallow, while the
heavy oil brings twice the price OF the
light; SO that nature makes all things
even, aud the oil producer, with his
small, shallow well that cost 81, 1000,
and furnishes oil worth from $5 to $40
per barrel, looks complacently upon his
neighbor who has deep and copious
well that cost $40. 600, and produces light
oil worth half the value Of the shallow
oil. and knows that bis bank account
will be quite as good as that Of his deep
delving neighbor.
The Professor could not help seeing
the great value Of this most excellent oil
field, which Is destined to pour wealth
into the city Of Los Angeles for centu-
