Two Youths Observe Memorial Day b,
Shooting Each Other


! lew minutes past / o'clock. on Satur
day morning last, lively shooting scrap,
occurred i'll room over Holmes saloon
ON the north side of street, few doors
above Seventh. Various statements have
been rIbiished as to the circumstances
leaaInc to the shooting, the details OF
which are not of material interest 10 the
public. 1t appears that two young men
John p. Palm and John McIsaacs-had been
painting the town vermilion during the
night, IN company with a couple of dam
sels-Gdith LaFrance and Mamie Nc
lsaacs, the latter a sister of one of the men
referred 10. The whole gang were pretty
well il.led with banZine when they brought
up az the place first mentioned Accounts
are somewhat conflicting as to all that
occurred Immediately preceding and during
the ARRAY, bat apparently the McIsaacs girl
and Palm had Just made PREPARATIONS to
occupy a bed on the floor of one of the
rooms, when young McIsaacs entered with
drawn pistol and began kicking up a row.
ordering Palm to get up and clear out,
One story is that Palm had some words
with his whilom companion, but was in
the act OF TedreSSng himself when Nc
lsaacs opened fired on him. Palm grabbed
piSt0. out of his pantaloOns pocket and
returned the fire. Both girls were in the
room NJ the time and endeaYored to have
the warfare cease, but without avail. From
all accounts there must have been eight or
nine shots fired. as there were two bullets
in PAINS body, one in McIsaacs and five
IN the walls and ceiling. Palm received
wound in one thigh, and the
otho bullet entered his side lust below
the liant rib, making 4 very ugly wound.
Melissa Is was shot in the left breast. the
bullet penetrating his lung. Chief Jackson
ana officer Sullivan were soon on the scene.
and had the wounded men taken to their
respective homes. Both remained uncon-
scious for several hours, but in the after
noon NcIsaacs rallied somewhat. but de-
Cinet making any statement as to the
affair. At various times since one or both
have been reported as dead or dying, but at
late hour last night they were both alive.
but very low, with the chances very much
against them Mclsaacs' wound would not
be serious but Tor the fact that he has 4
very feeble constitution, made so by the
use OF opium. Palm is stronger but the
wound in his abdomen is q dangerous one.
II modification should set in, neither will
be able 10 recover.
TRE SCALE IN THIS CIrY.-The white
cots cushion scale insect has at last been
firmly established, and is now naturalized
in Sacramento, to our shame be it said. 1t
IS on Seventh and f streets Eleventh and
streets, and an orange tree in lot ,, south
side OF / street, near Twelfth street, is a
irlghttul sight for truit-raisers to look at
Los Angeles or Santa Barbara cannot show
a tree heavier loaded with this pest. If
nothing IS done by the City Trustees by
ordinance and inspection Immediately TO
eNtermlnate this enemy of man, we will
not long have surplus fruit to dispose of.
These insects will be all over town They
prefer the orange, but will eat anything
vegetable and increase rapidly, and as they
emerge from their parent shell hundreds
must fail to the ground and make new
colony IN the next tree they come to. Its
transmission IS very easily explained. Any
one coming in contact with an infected tree
