There are so many OF the G. A. r.
determined to stay IN California that
their return tickets are on the market
for what they win bring. The Alta
says. ''5calpers are doing heavy bust
ness in Grand Army Of the Republic
tickets. Some Of the brokers purchase
in single day from 81, 200 TO 81, 500
worth OF return coupons. The round
trip, Grand Army Of the Republic rate,
from Chicago, say, is S62.50, and the
rate from here to Chicago is S62 SO, so
that return coupon is practically worth
So. 90. These coupons are purchased
by the brokers from $25 upwards; not
over $40. however, would be paid for
one. The broker sells the ticket then,
of course. for as much as he can get, the
passenger taking the chances OF being
put off the train. The business is prof.
liable, for one broker who landed in
town four months ago without bean
now has $4,000 in cash and a heavy line
of tickets ON hand"

On Wednesday afternoon, about half.
past i've O'Clock, as Mr.. r. J. Forsythe
was walking along Second street towards
Fort street on the sidewalk by the Hollen-
beck block, just as be had passed opposite
the police office, he was struck by . bull.
let which passed through his hat at the
base of the band and entered his head
above the right ear. where it was ini.
bedded in the bone until removed about
I0P. NJ, by DIR. Seymour.
AFR. Forsythe was not pleased with
such unusual attention, aud although
suffering from copious hemorrhage, he
went across the street to the police head
quarters to make complaint against the
party who had attempted his assassina-
ton. He says that the officer on duty
told him that there was nothing which
he could do, and so nothing <as done.
1t would have taken half minute for
the officer to have gone fifty
feet from his chair to the place
where Mr.. Forsyt the was shot and taken an
observation OF the windows and doors,
from which a small bullet could have
been shot to hit Mr.. Forsythe, but per-
haps he did not wish to expose himself
to . similar shot.
There was no report heard by Mr..
Forsythe when the bullet entered his
head, but he may not have been good
listener at that moment, with q piece of
lead imbedded in his skull.
The bullet was so small that it must
have been firoa from some building close
by, and it would have been an easy mat
ter to determine the door or window
from which the shot was fired, but no
effort was made to lind ont who was
making a target of people in the heart
of the city in broad daylight in front Of
the City Aall and police station.
Mr.. Forsyth does not wish TO have
hunters make game" Of him when he is
unarmed, and when he did not even
have q testament in his hat, presented
by his mother, to arrest the ugly bullet
in its path. He did not even have q
brick in his hat, and was walking in
conscious security in front OF the Office
Of the guardians of the peace
when he was shot like dog and had no
Fcufoos. nhu this Attcnfptod nufdUh
happened in any other city. in moment
every room from which the shot could
have been fired would have been search
ed for the woald-be assassin.
Yesterday MIR. Miller. who was run
over, made complaint at police head
quarters concerning the outrage on him
self, but received the same treatment at
the hands Of the officials.
IL it any wonder that people arm
themselves in self-defense in Los Auge-
les?
1t might be good idea to fortiiy the
City Hall to prevent these rufians, after
they get tired Of shooting citizens,
from injuring the guardians Of the
peace. The matter is respectfully sub
mitted to the City Council and the So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals. What next

Long Beach is filled with people from
the neighboring towns, to attend the
camp meeting now in progress and enjoy
the beach.
Real estate is in demand more than O.
any time during the year. The Chau
tauqua Assembly lois are selling rapidly
aad this Assembly has become fixture
Of Long Beach.
A slight accident to one Of the CON-
pany's motors occurred Wednesday on
the evening train, by which a delay Of
two hours was caused in reaching the
beach. 1t was somewhat annoying to
the passengers, but all took IT good.
naturally, IS like accident may occur
on any road. An extra motor was ready
for next train, and all trains are met on
time and everything is in running order
to-day. u
The Southern Pacific X. r. has put
on sale round trip ticket, Los Angeles
and Long Beach and return, good any

modates the travelling public.
A railroad connecting directly with
Los Angeles is the line expected in the

NOT WISELY BUT TOO WELL
The calico msyes Girl Identified
~ Last.

the O0btcO moyeD 0lfl lOomthIle4
~ Last.
Some time since several dispatches ar
rived here enquiring about girl named
Mayes. who was at Calico and repre-
ssnting herself as being from Los An
gslss and the daughter Of hotel keeper.
The following from the San Bernardino
Indes clears up the mystery:
Eight or nine months ago man by
the name Of Mayes kept restaurant at
Calico. He did good business, and
many Of the miners Of the camp board
ed with him, and became acquainted
with his fifteen-yesr-old daughter, Miss
Mary Mayes. She IL sweet appearing,
unsophisticated and innocent child, and
all the miners became much attached
to her. Benjamin Tyler, . man
of about thirty-fve years, seemed
to gain the child's confidence and
love more than the rest and they
became engaged. About i've months
ago Mr.. Mayes and his daughte moved
70 Los Angeles. A short time since
Mia Mayss was found to be in condi-
ton that. upon staten ents, warranted
the father and his child in going to Cal
loo TO talk the matter over with Tyler.
Marriage was repeatedly promised, but
q the groom ~ often failed to respond
ct the time aud place mentioned, the
miners of the district, who had got wind
of how things stood. last Thursday night
took the matter In their own hands,
prepared the feast, invited their guests
aad ct IL o'clock Justice Gregory per-
formed the ceremony that made Benja.
min Tyler and Miss Mary Mayes man
and wife, Tyler giving his consent.
Nearly every miner In the camp was
present ut the ceremony. Mrs. Penaing.
ton, an old lady wlio is said to have been
somehow mixed mp in the affair, vas
notified that her society was not pleasant
TO the miners Of Calico district. md
she will take up her abode elsewhere.
Our informant Of the whole proceedings
says everything passed of in quiet
and orderly manner, the will OF the
miners seeming TO be the pleasure Of the
groom, bride a. d parent, and at las, &C.
counts the newly welded pair had set
tied down. The part taken by the
miners OF Calico in this matter seems to
meet the approval of all right thinking
people, aud - this case Of love, court
ship and marriage ended happily, we
say, "All's well that ends well.

MR.. GRAHAM,s SALARY.



The facts relating to the voting OF a
salary to +. s. Graham, clerk and secre-
tary Of the City Board OF Education are
familiar to the readers of the HERALD.
II will be remembered also that when
the present Board was organized there
were three Democrats, Messrs. Elliott,
Kurtz and Graham, and two Republi-
cans, Messrs.. Earl and Wade, in 1t. No
one need be reminded that Mr.. Elliott
and DR.. Kurtz are men of the highest
standing, morally and intellectually,
among their fellow citizens. Both
Of them are men of much ex-
perience in the School Board.
II WA but natural expectation that
one Of these gentlemen should be elect.
ed President Of the Board. II was
quite as natural that general astonish-
ment should be developed when Mr..
Earl was elected to the position, Mr..
Graham forsaking his party fealty and
voting for Mr.. Earl. The inquiry. why
did he act 30, was natural outcome OF
this strange conduct. What was the
mosivei There could be no possible OBJ
iection to either Of his party coafreres.
At the time there were reports current,
which gained general credence where
prejudice did not bar the way TO
mems friends, that there was
bargain--one dislikes to use the
adjective corrupt - between MIR.
Graham and Mr.. Earl, whereby 1t was
mutually agreed that the former was to
elect the latter President Of the Board,
and the latter was to vots the former
salary as clerk Of the Board. Part OF
the report went on to allege that mr.
Elliott and DIR. Kurtz had expressed the
opinion that the allowing of such salary
would be illegal. Mr.. Earl at the time
come out with GARD, short in form and
weak in sub lance, in which he attempted
TO explain away these allegations of
dame rumor. II was just no sx-
PLANTATION at ell, aud left
the matter exactly where IL
found IL. Time passed on for lol
many months--six Of them--and then
Mr.. Graham, Mr.. Earl and Mr.. Wade
called up the Secretsry's salary and
granted him $50 each for the six months
passed.
Now comes Mr.. A. +. Mackay, q
citizen aud taxpayer, into the Superior
Court Of Los Angeles county, and prays
for an Injunction restraining the City
Treasurer, Mr.. Rays, from paying the
warrant for the $500. 1t is alleged on
information and belief that the order for
such salary is illegal.
1t would appear by the
long delay - If the hope
had been fondly entertained that "time
the healer Of all things' would cover
up the old scsrs in the public mind with
regard to the bargain about the Presi-
dency and the salary. In this there
seems by the above complaint to have
been some error. 1t is safe to say that the
question Of the legality Of the salary will
be set ct rest for good and all before
the present case is dropped.
