A Lion in the Way.

The monotony of domestic exercises
was broken into at the highland home
of Mr.. s. L. Leighton, at North Pasade-
ma, on Friday night of last week. A
disturbance was heard in the chicken
corral in the night, and the hired man
went out to see what was the matter.
As precautionary measure he took a
shotgun with him. As he entered the
corral he was confronted by monstrous
California lion. which, in the magical
moonlight, looked as large as an ele-
phant. He opened fire in an instant,
when the beast leaped over him and
took to the brush.
The exercises were very short but full
Of absorbing interest to the shooter, who
returned with one barrel Of the shotgun
empty but full of experience himself. A
council of war was held, when Mr..
Leighton determined ''to beard the lion
in her den," and early next morning,
with his dog and rife, started into the
brush in pursuit Of the feline monster
In short time the dog scented the ami
NAL, which proved to have broken leg
as a result Of the shot from the hired
man, and had laid herself down to rest
before climbing the mountains. Mr..
Leighton opened fire with his unerring
rife and killed the dangerous creature
at once.
An examination Of the beast showed
her to be powerful creature, six feet
three inches long and twenty.eighi
inches high. She was in fine condition,
with claws and teeth in sharp. servicea-
BILE order and weighed about 200
pounds. Had the beast seized the hired
man he would have made candidate
for the North Pasadena graveyard in
short meter, and worse than the "Meet
her by moonlight alone, which did oc-
cur.
Mr.. Leighton is the father of Mrs
Lindley, the wife of DR.. Walter Lindley
Of this city. She was paying visit oi
few weeks at the home Of her father
with her children, and returns with re.
newed health but with no desire to com.
bat with lions unless compelled to by ne.
cessity, which knows no law. These
lions, that used to abound SO much along
the mountains base, are now rarity
like Christian charity. and their entire
absence will not be cause of regret.

Captain J. @. A. Stanley. who was
formerly U. $. Indian agent, yesterday
received letter from Gerbonio Cabezen,
son Of Chief Cabezon. and Manuel Es.
pinosa, from Indio Station, on the Colo.
RADIO desert, announcing the death Of
Cabezon, the Chief Of all tho Indian
tribes of Southern California. This
we'll known and most historic character
was chief of the tribes when Los An.
geles Pueblo was established, l03 years
ago, and has paid annual visits to the
city ever since. except for the last two
or three years when he became too fee-
BILE to endure the journey. His vital
powers wore out SO gradually that he
passed away without sickness or pain,
as quietly as taper is blown out by the
wind.
A few years ago he was baptized into
the Roman Catholic Church, with Miss
Francisco Wolfskill, now Mrs. Shepherd,
as his God.mother. The Chief was
warmly attached to Capt. Stanley who
was very attentive to the interests Of
the Indians while he was Agent for
them for Southern California. The let
ter was written in Spanish, and trans
lated by Col. John J. Warner, who had
known the deceased since lS43. since
which time he has lived with his tribe
on the border of the Colorado desert
near Indio station. The following is
the translation:
ISDIo STATION OF THE s. P. r. R. 1
March 10th, 1884.
Mr.. J. @. A. Stanley.
MyDEAR FRIEND-I take the pen in my
hand to inform you that on Sunday, the
18th instant, at about 2 o'clock in the af-
ternoon, your friend, tie old man Cabe-
zon, the notable Captain Of the Indians
| and true friend Of Americans, has been
taken away by death. He died sudden
ly without any sickness. This old Cap.
tain of the Indians must have been, at
the least, one hundred and forty years
old. You will inform Don Juan, the
Colonel, that his noted, good friend is
dead. And there is the godmother OF
| the deceased, Dofa Francisco WolfskiIl,
the daughter of the late William Wolf
skill, and also the lady Dofa Gregoria
Reyes, whom you will inform. But we
beg you, our friend, and Don Juan the
Colonel, as you were the best known and
good friends of the deceased, that you
will promise to be published little no.
tice OF the death of the Great Captain in
the newspapers for the knowledge of all
those of his friends who know him.
There is nothing more to be written
at this time. Accept the best wishes Of
your friends in sorrow,
GERBoNIo CABEzoN AND
MANUEL EsPINosA.

California Southern Stopped.

The San Bernardino Inder announces
the mournfuI fact that the California
Southern Railway Company has GUS
pended all attempts to mend their rail-
way for the present. The Inder says:
"a rumor was current on the streets to-
day that the California Southern had
abandoned the work of repairing the
damage caused by the late storms and
would do nothing more at present. Not
being able to trace the report to relia-
Bile foundation. we put ourselves in COM
munication with Mr.. J. W. Thompson,
Manager of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company at San Diego. who in
formed us that telegram was received
at National City yesterday from Presi-
dent Nickerson, in Boston. ordering Mr..
Victor to call in all the mechanics and
laborers now engaged in the work Of re-
pair and cease operations for the pres
ent. Mr.. Victor being out on the line
of the road the order had not been put
in force yet. Mr.. Thompson added
that he had had talk with Judge Luce,
who is one of the Directors Of the Cali
fornia Southern, who said that the road
would be put in running order in three
or four months.
Our people are justly indignant o~r
the manner in which they have been
treated by the California Southern. 1t
was not fore.knowledge Of the fact
that when the storms should come and
beat upon the road it should be entirely
wiped out, that led the managers of the
road to almost ignore what San Ber-
nardino had done for it, and stayed
their hands from building necessary
depot upon the lands allowed them,
using instead box car for greater econ
omy, but predetermined plan to get
all they could aud keep all they got
until such time as a sale to some relia-
bic company might be made, for, evil
IDENTIFY, the road is for sale, and we do
not know but what it would be for the
best were the Southern Pacific, or some
other reliable company, to buy it. The
California Southern went up like a
rocket but came down like-well, how
did it come down, anyhow"

The Old Curiosity sn,p.

This attractive play, drawn from one
Of Dickens most popular n vels, last
night attracted large audiel c., anxious
to see the Putnam Company, to Turn
verien Hall. All the actors were at
their best, and consequently very en-
joyable evening ensued. The perform.
ance was thoroughly spirited from be-
ginning to end each member ,ieing with
the other to achieve complete success.
Miss Katie Putnam in the roles Of Lit
tie Nell and the Marchioness, two roles
50 entirely opposite, scored double
success of the highest kind, her personi-
fication Of Little Nell being perfect,
whilst Of that Of the Marchioness nothing
but praise can be said. J. H. Gilmour
was was an entertaining Dick Swiveller,
whe managed his part most happily.
A.. Glassford's Daniel Quilp, q very
difficult role, was praiseful display Of
good and careful acting, with strict
attention to minor details, all through.
Mr.. J. A. Devliu, H. Emory and J. Fl.
Ferris as Sampson Brass, Grandfather
Treat, and Slum were good, and Mrs.
Mary Putnam as Mrs. farley also &C.
quilted herself Of her part creditably.
The remaining roles, though unimport.
ant, were conscientiously filled. and
altogether Old Curiosity Shop was very
successful
The management has decided to give
three more performances. commencing
on Monday and concluding on wednes.
day night. On Wednesday afternoon
matinee il also to be given. On Mon
daythe Little Deteciivewill be presented,
in which Miss Katie Putnam takes five
different parts. This Companys success
last night will undoubtedly insure then,
crowded houses during their short stay
in Los Angeles.

San coraonio Items.


Mr.. Geo. C. Eagan, of San Gorgonio,
is in the city purchasing supplies for his
country trade. He is making an effort
to obtain postoffice at that place, a
convenience that is much needed in that
thriving settlement Of about $50 inhabi-
tants. A large amount of land is being
put under cultivation about the settle
ment. Among others Mr.. W. X. Dun.
lap has planted 1000 acres of wheat and
barley; Smith & Scott have sown 800
acres of wheat; ex-Supervisor J. c. Han
non, 400 acres of wheat; Geo. C. Eagan,
500 acres of wheat and barley; F. Daw-
son, 400 acres wheat and barley; H. J.
Roberts, 200 acres Of wheat; P. Potts
and G. D. Rowan. 800 acres of wheat;
other parties 1000 acres more.
This is good start for that part Of
the country, and the crop prospects are
all excellent. San Gorgonio is roman
.tically situated about $500 feet above
sea level, between the San Jacinto
mountains and the Sierra Madre, ON the
line Of the Southern Pacific Railroad, 81
miles east of the city of Los Angeles,
and is pushing right onward.

The Combination which Brought
Kirchner q Fortune.

''Got the money! echoed Herman
kirchner in reply to the question of .
Chronicle reported. "You can better
believe / got it, and twas this very
morning deposited it in the German
Savings Bank"
The Herman Kirchner to whom the
question was addressed is the proprietor
Of the Crystal Hotel, situated at the cor.
nor of Fourth and Berry streets, who
purchased one.fifth OF ticket 7l,342,
which drew the fret capital prize of $75,-
900 in the February drawing of The
louisiana State Lottery Company. The
nature of the question was whether he
had received the SIS, 900 to which he
was entitled, his answer being the very
decided affirmative given above. Kirch-
ner, as his name Indicates, is q German,
and as his good fortune should natural
ly induce, lives in state Of perpetual
smiles and laughter.
"Well, you see, it happened in this
way" be went-on, nothing 10th to tell
the story: 'sThe agent OF the Louisiana
State Lottery came to me and says: DO
you want to buy tickst!' TO Bis
marck with your tickets. says l. But
when the agent was speaking he put
down lot of tickets, and l saw that
number-7l, 1892. That's funny, says
to myself, and so l puts my finger on
the ticket and drawed it over. 'lll take
this, says, as unconcerned as I could,
and takes it home and locks it up in the
SAFE"
''What was queer about the numbers"
asked the reporter, growing interested.
'Just you listen and you'll sec,,' re-
piled Kirchner, smiling all over. 'In
the first place, I bought the ticket on
the 7th Of February, and that was my
birthday. There's your seven. In the
next place, was just turned Al, was
born in '43, and had that day started in
on my forty-second year; SO there's
your and your and your and your2.
There never was such combination,
and Of course could do only one thing
that is, draw the biggest prize there
was."
"And now what are you going to do
with the money p il was asked.
"Well. when got the money first"
replied the happy Kirchner, II thought
OF quitting this business and give the
old lady rest, and let her take little
comfort out Of what is left of her life.
Then l thought there would be time
enough for that; that she could be
happy here for little while longer, and
that would wait until drew another
big prize"
"Do you count on doing that,"
'sMost assuredly i do" replied the
jolly child of Fortune. ''I've bought
tickets six times, and have drawn prizes
four out Of six, so there's no reason why
I should not keep on in the same good
way"
The agent was also called on. and
very willingly confirmed the good news
OF Kirchners lucky draw, and reiterated
the statement that the money had that
morning been deposited in bank.
''San francisco has got all the luck
the agent wenk on handing the reporter
. sheet Of paper on which were some 80
or 90 numbers with amounts set oppo-
site to them for amounts varying from
600 dollars down. These are all
prizes for the February drawing Of The
Louisiana State Lottery, and what the

On the inside case is engraved the words,
"To Captain j. I. Ritchie from the
Ceur de Lion Drill Corps" The Corps
then formed in line and left the Rink for
their asylum, where the regalia was
removed, and they returned to enjoy
dancing, which was continued until mid
night. Captain Richie informed the
reporter that he was highly pleased at
the progress made by the Drill Corps
during their two months Of practice,
and he is confident that the Ceur de
Lion Drill Corps can go East to any oil
the tournaments this summer and come
home with the first prize.

A Remarkable Locality.

Nature seems to have fitted the west
ern end of the San Gabrie, valley for the
special location of the triumphs and
achievements Of modern civilization.
All the surroundings are beautiful and
the climate mild and delicious. The
soil is Of the richest quality and the
fruits Of more than half the earth grow
there to perfection. This favored spot
has been chosen by Mr.. ]. De Barth
Shorb for the location of the great San
Gabriel winery, The location for the
maturing of wines is probably unexcelled
in any country. The Sierra Madre Villa
is also situated in this charmed climatic
locality, and all Of Pasadena, both upper
and lower.
The great merits and RESOURCES of that
section are attracting vast amount of
capital to a permanent investment with.
in its boundaries. In addition TO the
great Raymond Hotel in South Pasadena,
the prospect is fair for tho location of a
large college within a few months, and
about three-fourths of mile west Of the
hotel. Already there is public library
in active operation at Pasadena, and
now it is proposed to request the State
Board Of Health to locate hospital At
that place. for the purpose Of testing by
careful scientific observation the effect
Of the climate on diseases of q climatic
nature. The Board has examined many
localities, but il is not known that any
place has been selected.
This drift of capital and concentration
Of refined society, with the erection of
important institutions Of learning, will
make that section to Los Angeles what
Cambridge is to Boston, Walnut Hills to
Cincinnati or Alameda and Berkeley to
San Francisco. Such contamination
seems as natural a. that sunrise will fol.
low the night. Persons Of wealth and
leisure all round the world desire TO live
near large city. where they can take
advantage Of city privilsgss and yet
possess : restful spot with trsss and
flowers and rural pleasurss al COM
