Free, also 4 striking fruit. Mr. Hatch, of

limitations of natural fruit. Mr. Gillet also

very beautiful freestone, ripening be-
tween Hale's Early and Crawford. with a
grand scarlet coat which would make il

held in Los Angeles November l6th and
through the week. II is hoped that the

will prepare to attend the meeting The
Conventions hitherto have been held in the
central part OF the State.
Mr.. De Long feared It would prove mis-
take 10 change the place of general meet
ing 10 the south. He believed the arrange
ments contemplated a meeting at the south
at the time the citrus fruit ripened and the
fall meeting in the upper part of the State
both in the same year.
DR. Chaplin stated that the plan Of the
State Board is TO have a Convention at the
south this year, and one al the north mex,
year.
Dr. Kimball, as a member Of the Board,
stated that he understood that the next
State Convention would be in Los Angeles,
and that there would also be q Convention
III this part Of the State as usual, and the
expense of both meetings to be met by the
State Board, as they had sufficient funds
for both meetings.

lust at the summit of the COvanO mountains.
Trail hot and troops in full pursuit. In my
opinion, this band OF ten or twelve Indians is
the only one that has been on our side of the
line, notwithstanding the other reports. They
came up 10 steal stock, but have had 20 drop
nearly all OF it so far. Since Wood has been on
Their track they have dropped forty head,
which citizens have picked up. Woods scouts
played out and came back. Fortunately Hat
held were mounted and are with the com
mand. The lightning smashed our telephone
yesterday, and we have to send to siding for
dispatches" Although parties were sent out rs
soon as reports of crossing Of railroads by In
dams was received, the report has not as yet
been confirmed. GEORGE CROOK,
Brgadier-Genersl.
No news of importance, other than that
contained in the foregoing Dispatch has
been received recently concerning the In
dian troubles. In this instance the Indians
made a raid over the border after horses
and had to abandon them.
