 A terrific thunder shower passed to
 the southeast of the city yesterday af- ternoon, giving the city the benefit of

 water ran of in great streams toward the valley. During the storm an electric light mast at the corner of Meyer and
 Simpson street, was struck by lightning shattering it somewhat. The sound, which
 preceded by a second the clap of thun-
 der, very much resembled rifle shot
 near at hand.
 The fruits brought into this market from the ranches on the San Pedro far

 care now given to fruit raising on the
 San Pedro, such splendid results are ob-
 tained, what may be expected when the
 most careful and intelligent culture Is
 given the industry!
