He; came here about ten years ago from Lesvenworth, Kansas, where he held for some time an important county office. NIT. Creighton started, m 1876, the Daily Evening Republican, Ehich for some time was the only Re
 publican paper in Los Angeles. After the suspension of the Republican, he started paper Gt Wilmington, which he continued for several months. In 1880 he removed to Tucson, ArizODa, wlere he obtained the position of un- dsI-sheriff. Two years later he returned tC this city, aud WAS for time, in 1883, employed on the Times stAff. Mr. Creighton was q man of considerable ability, but unfortunately, he met with n nnmber of reyerses ID his career here. chief of which Was the loss by death Of lis excellent wife. These troubles over anne him, he lost courage and went eOwn hlll rapidly. For the last SIX months he suffered from lung trouble sn1 1t Is probable that death was caused by congestion of the lungs. He vas on his way back to relatives m the East when death struck him down on ;le train. He was a native of Peunsyl- Wnia, and forty two years old. He haves one child who Is at present re- sding in Philadelphia. The remains will be brought to this city today and inferred by the undertaking firm of Pouet k 0rr-Los Angeles Times.

The Census.

EDIoR CITIZEN: Through the kind ness ot Nr. Lacey, am now reading the census of 1880. When We commonly speak about the census We mean the population Of town, city, county, terri tor! or state.
 1hIs census consists of maps and vol tunes showing the mineral regions, showing the ranges under which certain plants grow-shows in fact the very smallest detail of everything.
 I, Is simple, wonderful; and 1 do not think that any other country ever issued, III 50 short a time snd in such perfection, a wOrk like this.
 IcannOt give you details at the pres ent moment, and the wonder to me Is, that nobody ever spoke about 1t.
