DESERVED PUNISHMENT.
A WOuld-be NIasher and Insulter
of Ladies Casttgated.

Nathan Cohen is employed in one of
the principal dry good stores on Spring
street. He has been employed in the
capacity of clerk in number of stores
of this city during several years, and in
that time earned the vile reputation of
an iusulter of ladies and so-called
masher. His insults to ladies' are re-
ported as innumerable and he has sew
eral times been chastised by irate rela-
tives for his insolence and presumption.
About year ago Cohen received con-
dign punishment for an outrage of a
nature akin to the one for which he
nearly lost his life yesterday, which was
at the time conveniently Ascribed by
him to the act of robber, though
the facts were known well
enough amongst his associates.
The number of times that he
has been allowed to escape scot.free for
gratuitous insults to ladies largely ex-
ceeds, however, the occasions on which
he has been booted. Yesterday, whilst
slightly intoxicated, he once more made
some of his characteristic offensive re-
marks to respectable young lady en-
ployed in the same store as himself, and
it is understood that it was not for the
first time. She was very much offended
and distressed and requested female
friend or relative who also works in the
store, to find her brother in order
to obtain protection. As the latter
young lady was going out she met the
brother of the offended lady passing on
the sidewalk, and called him to her.
She then explained what had passed
and the indignant brother sent in mes
sage to Cohen to come out for few
minutes. When the fresh young man
braided in short meter by the irate
brother who concluded his remarks with
square blow in Cohen's face, which
knocked him prone. In falling his head
struck the curb so violently that he re
mained in the gutter senseless. The
blood spurted with force from cash
from above his temple and it was be.
lieved that he was dead. The assailant
meantime walked away unrestrained by
the bystan6ers IN the direction of the
Nadeau. When Cohen was picked UP
| his head fell to one side and it was be.
lieved that his neck was broken. He
was promptly removed to his room in
the Wilcox Block and DR.. j. S. Owens
called in, who examined and bandaged
the wound. The medical man expressed
the opinion that if the temple OF Coher
had struck the pavement half an incl
lower he would have been killed. The
masher will be disfigured for few days
but with all the adverse experiences hi
has had heretofore, it is hardly 10 bt
hoped that this will serve him as de
csiye lesson,

Burglars Abroad.

1t seems that Los Angeles is not the
only victim of the gang of burglars that
is now prowling around in Southern
California. San Bsrnardino and Downey
City have had a visit from these villains
and now Cotton has been paid visit by
these midnight robbers, as appears by
the Semi. Tropic of Friday: Burgess 4
Gilbert's hardware store was broken into
last night and between 500 and $3.50
worth of goods taken out. The burglars
entered by the back window, and must
have been well posted on the fastenings
or they never could have broken in. A
wooden wedge between the frame and
casing fastened the window. 1t must
have taken time and patience to work it
out by continuous upward and down.
ward agitation of the frame. After the
thieves got in, it seems they made bee
line for the show case, taking therefrom
three Smith and Wesson revolvers,
large lot of pocket-knives, razors and
pen-holders, in all amounting to from
500 to $l50. Other articles were doubt
less stolen, but until an account of stock
is taken, will not be missed. No arrests
have yet been made. The loss falls
heavily on Messrs. Burgess & Gilbert, as
they have but recently purchased the
store and stock and were doing close
business"

BASEBALL.
The Home Team Defeated i'm an
Interesting Game.

The game yesterday at the Ball Park
was good exhibition Of ball playing on
the part of the visitors, who won by
score of s to |. Our boys had an OFT
day and each player, with one or two
exceptions, made one or more damaging
errors. The CALIFORNIA; played a fault
less fielding game and batted well
Conley, their pitcher, is as yet COM
plete mystery to the home club.
The game yesterday afternoon was
preceded by street parade, in which
the two mines appeared to advantage in
tasty uniform. The procession had the
effect of attracting very large crowd OF
baseball admirers, who next to eating a
Christmas dinner love to witness the
national game when we'll played. To
the many northern tourists baseball on
Christmas was strange novelty and
doubly interesting.
The playing was fair exhibition but
brilliant plays were lacking. Reeder,
of the California's, knocked the leathern
sphere over the right field fence, but
Dascomb, of the Los Angeles nine, was
there on duty and by most lightning
climbing returned the ball to the dia-
mond, cutting Reeder's prospective
home run down to three bagger.
Swan and Turner distinguised them.
selves in the home team by a double
play. Swan captured fly in good style
in left field, and by sending it swift to
Turner at second, put out the base.run'
ner. 1t was the only double play of the
game and was loudly applauded. The
fielding of the CALIFORNIA;, with Conley'
mysterious curves was what lost the
game for the Los Angeles boys.
The home battery was composed OF
Walbridge as pitcher and Monroe as
catcher. They acquitted themselves
reasonably well. although Walbridge
was pretty freely pounded by the visi.
tors. Monroe catches well. Conley
pitched for the California's with De
Paugher to catch him, making a strong
battery. Their work during the after
noon sustained the reputation they have
acquired in their coast games. The Cal
ifornias are the best baseball players
that have visited the city. Another
game will be played this afternoon a
the grounds, corner Sixth and Flower
streets, and it is expected that the homt
team will do much better than yester
day.
The Los Angeles Club will make the
following change in their team and bat
ting order for to-day's game: Raymond
pitch, Salsno at short and Dan Noonar
at third. They will also place Lohman
one of the new players on first. Th'
Batting order is SSas follows; Turner
. b.; Noonan.. b.; Monroe, c.; Swan
IT,; Dascomb, rf.; Lohman, l b.; Ray
mond, p.; Goldstein, CT; Salano. S. :
The boys are determined to win to-day
game, and think they can do so with
Raymond in the box.

SAN Diego Cotton.
The Union says:

tHo y HtOH oaJos
.'W. w, Stewart & Co. received at
their warehouse yesterday the first
wagon load of cotton ever grown in
Southern California. There were thir-
ty.nine sacks in the lot, in all 257O
pounds. This cotton was grown by
John w. Moore, of Bear valley, on the
farm of s. G.. Antes. Mr.. Moore, who
has had experience as cotton planter
in Texas, planted few acres as an ex.
pertinent, with the result stated. He is
convinced that it will prove paying
crop, and says there is no doubt at all
of success with it here. He is so well
satisfied of this that he intends to put in
100 acres the coming season, and says it
will pay better than the same acreage of
grain. Messrs. Stewart & Co. will
ship this cotton to the Oakland mills by
the next steamer, as the pioneer cotton
shipment of Southern California.
The Union may not be aware that cot
ton was grown by Don Jose Rubio in
Los Angeles twenty years ago, but
labor was dear and there were no cotton
factories within $4,000 miles by regular
transportation lines, and the enterprise
failed to pay expenses, and was in con-
sequence brought to short stop. Other
crops pay better than cotton, which is
no longer king.

A DANGEROUS INDIAN.
Cutting n Mans Arm Nearly Off
i'm a Fit of Rage.

I'm Fit OF Rage.
There was a cutting affray between
two men on Los Angeles street last
night at 8 o'clock, in which one of them
received deep cut on the right shoulder,
three to four inches long and about two
inches deep. 1t appears that Salvador
Evans was sitting in his parents saloon,
No. 80, Los Angeles street, when an
Indian named Juan Andres Mesas
walked in and began to quarrel. He
had row with some one in the street,
and being drunk, was very ugly. Seeing
Evans sitting down, he made for him,
and pulling out razor slashed him in
the arm near the shoulder, cutting
through his shirt and undershirt, and
making the wound described above.
Evans then knocked down Mesas, who
was secured and handed to the police.
In the Jail the Indian. who was still
very mad, told a HERALD reporter he
was annoyed because Evans called him
pames and laughed at him, and he
added, in very ferocious manner, that
if he had had a knife Dig enough he
would have cut the IS head of.
A charge of assault to murder was
booked against Mesas.
