Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-03-12

We take pleasure In announcing the
arrival IN our city Of Mr.. W. s. Sutton,
well known to the patrons Of art In San
Francisco. He Is representing several
Of the most eminent artists Of California,
among them the celebrated protrait
painter, Albert Jenks. Mr.. jerks, it
will be remembered, painted the mag
nifcent portraits Of the Governors of
California, which adorn the walls Of the
State Capitol at Sacramento. Last, but
not least, among these gems Of art
beams the genial countenance of Los
Angeles favored son. Governor Stone.
man. Mrs. 8. A. Ames, of Riverside,
is, we believe, daughter Of Mr.. Jenks.
A portrait Of Bishop Kipp, o chef d'oevre
| Of this talented artist, may be seen at
Mr.. Sutton's rooms at the Kimball
Mansion, where will also be found o
number Of other works Of merit BY
eminent artists, in oil, water colors.
crayon and India ink. Mr.. Sutton
makes speciality Of portrait painting,
and his brief visit will afford local
patrons Of art rare opportunity OF
securing superior portraits Of members
| Of their family and friends. Mr.. Sutton's
visit to Los Angeles Is more for health
than business, and be intends making
quite an extended tour Of Southern
California, before returning to the
metropolis. We give him cordial wei.
come and best wishes for pleasant and
profitable sojourn among US.
The Oakland Tribune has the follow
ing about the Placerville murderer:
"Governor Stoneman has granted a
reprievs to Francisco Perez. sentenced
| to be hanged at PIacerville, February
29th, for murder. The Governor fixes
March 2Sth as the date. Not long ago
Perez nearly cut his head from the body
| in On attempt to commit suicide. The
| wound has not healed entirely, and
hanging now would behead him, 80 1t ia
desired to wait until bis neck is stronger.
Figure to yourself the county doctor
making his daily examination, padding
and punching with inquiring finger into
the murderer's throat, ordering another
application of tan.bark, while the
hungry Sheriff stands by for the result,
inquiring, "Think he'll be ct to kill in
the course of week or SO, doctor?"
The crossing of the Los Angeles river
by fording is very risky experiment.
The channel has changed SO that all the
fording places are over new tracks and
in some localities over quicksands, deep
| and dangerous. The safest course for
| crossing the river Is over the covered
bridge. All teams had better keep out
Of the river till the water shall be lower
and the places Of quicksand are marked
out. Two horses were caught in quick
sand yesterday and drowned. Probably
others will share their fate, unless
people take warning and keep out Of
the channel.
Slowly the roads are drying up and
the farmers are coming to town to do
necessary shopping. and the streets are
becoming more animated. Many roads
are still impassable for loaded teams on
account Of washouts and soft spots,
where the water still holds mud fort.
A great deal Of work will have to be
done in making small bridges and in FILL
ing barancas that cross the highways. If
no more rain occurs within week. our
streets will be crowded as before with q
thropg Of busy people.
By an oversight, the names Of
the following ladies were omit
ted from the list Of those present on the
occasion Of the recent reception given to
the Fire Laddies by the ladies Of East
Los Angeles: Mesdames McKeag, Cook,
Haskell, Hanly, Shinn and Wetzsl.
These ladies were untiring workers and
| contributed largely to the success of the
entertainment. We regret that the omis-
sion occurred and make the ainende at
the earliest opportunity.
A sensible movement was made by the
City Council on Monday, in repeating
the ordinance making the hay market in
the north part Of the city. The farmers
rebelled and stayed at home, giving hun
dreds Of people tho opportunity of hiring
double team to 60 into the country to
get hay for single family horse. The
Council found it had put its foot in q
trap and there was no ha, on the
streets, and wisely backed down from
the absurd ordinance.
Mr.. Eugene Germain and some Of our
merchants yesterday raised purse Of
$50 to pay Mr.. VIM. Osborne for bring
ing in the delayed letter mail from Po-
mona Mr.. Osborne was also employed
by Mr.. VIM. Pridham to carry the east
bound express matter and mail to Col
ton. To-day the letter mail may be ex-
pected from the Eastern overland by Mr..
Osborne's conveyance. Postmaster
Dunkelberger went out with the teanfto
take charge Of the mail.
We take pleasure in directing atten-
tion to the advertisement Of the Los An

We beg to call the attention of our

greatest interest is being manifested in
the coming event, rs is shown by the
