THE DANGEROUS TORPEDO.
Ana How II was Nearly Fatal
10 an Express Driver.

And How II was Nearly Fatal
10 an Express Driver.
Henry Whitehead is boy Of about II
years of age, living in East Los Angeles,
aud driving an express wagon. He lie
the only support Of an old and invalid
father. Yesterday, at 2;30, he was
awaiting the arrival of the San Francisco
express at the new depot with his ex-
press wagon. Pending the arrival OF the
train. he was .rummaging on the track
for odds and ends. and found little fat,
circular, brown tin box. He attempted
to open it with his fingers and did not
succeed Then he went to the platform
in front of the baggage room. and pro.
ceeded to smash the box open with q
stone. Suddenly there was an explosion
and the boy fell backwards. He got up
Immediately, with blood squirting out Of
his shoes, and was taken by Officer
Cooney, who stood near, to the Depot
drug store. DR.. Shoemaker was called,
who, after nearly three-quarters of an
hours work, succeeded in removing the
fragments of the railway torpedo from
the feet and ankles of Whitehead. In
the right foot vein was severed which
bled copiously. The boy Is in no imme-
date danger from the effect Of his
wounds, and was able to walk to his ex-
press wagon. He stood the operation Of
the extraction of the fragments--one Of
them over an inch long --stoically, and
his only fear was that bis father might
suffer IL he should be unable to go on
earning a livelihood for him. Another
torpedo was picked up in the yard. They,
are said to have fallen out Of box of
them which capsized in the morning in
the railroad yard.

Mr.. A. E. Wagstaff, the brilliant
editor Of the Modesto Herald recently
visited Los Angeles and San Bernardino
counties and gives his views of the
country as follows;
"There ia no better evidence of thrift
derived from constant advertising and
public display Of advantages, whether
real or imaginary, than that which may
be seen to day in Los Angeles and San
Bernardino counties. But few years
ago q large portion OF the country be-
tween Los Angeles and Cotton was rated
as desert, covered with SANDWICHES and
sage brush. There was no signs of thrift
and no activity in cultivation except
along the streams which happened to be
there. There was dearth Of moisture
and dry bones, and the old settlers
were rated as stupid in everything.
When the railroad was built to Cotton
Yankee enterprise made its appearance,
aud charmed by the climate between
two deserts, they began the work of re-
claiming the barren wastes by the intro
duction of water from the Santa Ana
river. The fret settlement was at Xiv
erside, which is now one of the most
beautiful places in California, containing
about 5000 inhabitants. There they
utilized the water to its full capacity,
and are trying to tap an adj AGENT noun
tain for more. Unless they are success.

groves and magnificent avenues.
Cotton, I'll . new town at the base of
the mountains, verg,ng the Colorado
desert, where the California Southern
and the Atlantic and Pacific crosses the
Southern Pacific ON its way to San
Diego, Is a center Of attraction. Five
years ago it did not contain dozen
houses all told. To-Day it is town of
1900 inhabitants, scene OF activity in
building, and numbers many large
brick blocks and beautiful residences.

dino, and is connected with that town
by q narrow gauge street railroad, which
will eventually run to all the adjacent
towns. The superstition and the pros
pect is that the two towns will meet in
few years, and be connected by q
beautiful avenue, lined on either side
with beautiful homes and costly resi-
dences. San Bernardino is thriving
town, containing over 5000 inhabitants,
and IS the center Of tbs great artesian
belt. We predict for Cotton the bright
est future. The eyes Of travellers from
the East, after passing over the desert,
first rest upon this beautiful spot, made
lovely by the use of water and the en-
ergy of its thrifty inhabitants"

THREE BLACK MANTIEs.
A New opera mt the Grand Last
"a a. q NiEhts


a New opera mt the Grand Last
q fEf Night
A fair audience az sembled at the
Grand Opera House last night to hear
the Pyks Opera Company in the score
of a new opera. SO far as Los Angeles is
concerned. 1t b Spanish in scene and
plot. and from the pen Of Bucallosi.
The action is natural and leads through
a very interesting plot in which love Is
the principal Ingredient. The excellent
company finds less room for its strong
comic qualities than in the MASCOT, |"
or than even In "Les Cloches de Corne.
VILE" But the new opera abounds in
the sweetest music heard here for many
a long day. The songs which are legion
innumber, and which include solos, duets
trios and all Imaginable combinations up
to embracing the full chorus are gems Of
music. There are none sweeter in any
light opera on the boards The lovers
Of good music were enchanted With the
really exquisite score Of the Three
Black Mantles." Mr.. Louis was missed
from the cast, as he has become de-
eided faserite at the Grand. The prin-
cipal singers were in much better voice
than they have been on any previous even
ing. Miss Louise Manfred as sGerola, the
Belle Of Valdois" was very effective in
role that made greater demands on
her vocal powers than any she has at
tempted here before. Mr.. r. D. Valer-
ga as ''Don Louis" sang and acted well.
valerga is en- exception to the most of
the troupe in thai he acts better in a
sentimental than he does in a comic
part. Mr. Pyke. although his name did
not appear on the programme. did ex-
celsnt service with his really god bari
tone voice. The opera Is exceptionally
picturesque. and was very Handsomely
dressed. There are several dancing
scenes in the piece, all pretty and some.
of them very novel. 3 E.
For tonight the ever-popular Mikado,
with its picturesque scenes. and sweet
and .'catchy' airs, is underlined. II
will be repeated at the farewell perform
ance on Saturday evening, while at the
matinee ...The Man,les' will be repeated.

A Row In which Fslse Teeth

B. Sepulveda hbated considerably at
the ball at Turnverein Hall last night
aud became inclined 10 fight at hall past
eleven, in front of Rosters Bakery. He
tackled little baker, named Johnny
Ball, who works at the Washington
Bakery, Also street. The friends of
Sepulveda stopped the fight, but he re-
newed it when nearing the Turnverein
Hall. During the racket, Ball lost his
false teeth, 80 that he couldn't call for
help, and when officers Steele and Has.
Iins arrested the pair, Ball could only
whisper that his teth were lost. Sc
pulveda then pulled them out OF his
pocket, aud after Ball had wiped them
of, he was able to give his version OF
the story. There was no money in the
crowd, though Sapulyeda had a gorge
Gus chain with lttobkeys aud odds and
ends at either end. All kinds OF offers
were made TO officer Grubbs by sepul.
veds's friends to compromise on the
$40 deposit demanded, but as the officer
said that the police office was not
pawnshop SepulSeda was locked up and
so was Ball.

Republican Opinion OF swift.

The Tuolumne Independent, Republic
can, says: eve know not what the
Tuolumne Republicans think OF Swifts
nomination, and care great deal less;
but we do know that one of them, at
least, does not propose to help build a
bridge to bring John Swift and his
bridge-burning tribe back to rule the
Republican party of this State. which a
few years ago, Booth, Swift & Co., tried
to ruin When Swift and his crowd, at
that time, said that they had left the
Republican party forever and burned
the bridges behind them, they should
have been held to tell the truth. II
Swift did not tell the truth then, he
must be lying now. and the Republican
party have truthful men better oompe-
tent for Governor than this blatant dem
agogue ever can be. Let Swift & Co.
find material, il they can, from old line
Republicans to help them build their
bridges.
