A fsw sirhis 80 the garden Of Hon.
]. G. Estudlllo. who lives on Hill street.
uus entered BY some vagabonds and all
his cboics plants stolen. Other gardens
in that section Of the city have also been
despoiled Of ornamental shrubs and
plants within short time. That the
thefts are perpetrated by some one who
understands plants q shown In the fact
that none but the choicest varieties of
flowers and shrubs are taken. About
three years ago . number of similar
thefts were committed. but whether any
arrests were made we do not remember.
We do remember, however, that extra
vigilance was exercised and the thefts
stopped. II may be that the present
flower garden raids are made by the
same party, who, (. cling emboldened by
his former success in eluding punish
ment, has Recommended his old business.
Mr.. s. Lazar.l showed to e HERALD
reporter yesterday speekled trout that
weighed two pounds nine ounces. 1t
was caught 10 the Water Company's .
reservoir, and was no doubt one Of those
brought to this coast by the Fish Com
nlissioners for distribution. o number Of
which were placed in the Water Com
pauy's ditches by Deputy U. s. Marshal
Dunlap several years ago. 1t was q
perfect beanty and bore every mark Of
the true Eastern mountain trout. Mr..
Lazsrd states that this Il the second one
caught within short time, and that .
number more have been seen In the
reservoir fully as large as the ones
caught Some catfish were put in at
the same time and il was thought they
would get away with the young trout.
but the fact that these were caught and
that others remain, proves that to have
been mistaken idea.
Considering the inclement weather the
Rial Combination played to very small
house last night. Lack Of space prevents
any extensive notice. Suffice IL to say
that Robert Briefly, like all the parts
presented by the troupe in this city. was
exceedingly well rendered. The troupe
leave for Riverside and San Bernardino
to-day. They will return on Monday,
the 18th, for season Of one week, aud
appear in . new piece every night, open
ing in East LYME. We trust they may
find more propitious weather.
The heavy rains have had a marked
effect upon the how Of our artes an wells.
Many wells which for several years have
hardly reached the surface now rise
several feet iu the pipes. II the ordi-
nance providing for Gaping Of wells
when not in use Il now rigidly enforced
there u reason to hope that the present
subterranean supply will last fer years.

A man named Kent who lives ct Oro

structed by Mr.. Kent and work to Q
charm. m.-Sds Bernardino Times.
Lovers Of good music and fun generally
