working up the case but went wrong
on his theory, and Mr.. Lasweil has
been made to suffer for the crime OF
another. Notwithstanding his prompt
discharge it i'll recompenses him fol

The announcement Of Mr.. A. ]. Herring
for Mayor appeared in last Saturdays TEL
EaRAPH but it was handed in too late to
receive that consideration at our hands that
we desired to give it. Mr.. Herring was
born and raised in Monroe and deservidly
ranks high as one ofour most enterprising
and progressive young men. He has new
or sought political honors, nor has he any
particular ambition in that line now, but
he is particularly ambitious for the welfare
and future developement Of Monroe and he
has been persuaded to become q candidate
for mayor solely in that behalf. His back
ers, and they are numerous, want young
and new blood in charge of the cities affairs
and they are confident Mr.. Herring pos
seses all the requisite qualifications to make
an efficient, stirring, energetic and progress
sive mayor. The TELEGRAPH is also conf
dent that he will and aS correspondent
writing on the subject said, if he is elected
tho people will not haye cause to regret it.

SAN Francisco, June 1S.-Alexande,
Badlam, one of the leading men in the
Salt Lake and Los Angeles Railway en-
terprise, to-day on his return to this city
from Salt Lake City, said that he wen'
to the Mormon capital in the interest Of
the new railroad, but declined to tell in
what way.
YES" he remarked, "our road will be
built unless we are headed off by the
Union Pacific. That company cant
build any road itself, but it can form O
new syndicate which can construct the
line and it would always be under
Union Pacific control. 1t has survey
now from Frisco, Utah, to Barstow, on
the Atlantic and Pacific, in California,
1t is not doing anything in the way oI
construction, but it would no doubt be-
come active enough If we began building
our line. The road we are to build viii
not be through very fertile country, but
the through traffic will be very impor-
tant."
''It has been stated that your enter.
prise is backed by the Southern Pacific
Company. How about that?n
There's nothing in that report he
declared. "Our company is an indepen-
dent concern and has nothing to do with
any railroad in the country"

KiliinE-0ther Testimony.
SANTA Cruz, June 1S.-The first wit
ness in the Graham case to-day was Mrs.
d. NJ. Rice, half sister of Graham, who
testified that the latter visited her in
1865 and also in 1885. Mrs. Shebsy told
witness she had known the whereabouts
|of Graham for several years. John Moore
testified that he saw Graham near Santa
Cruz in 1865. Mrs. Shelby was recalled,
and stated that she did not say che saw
Dennis Bennett take hold Of Graham's
lgun. Mrs. Rice was recalled, and sale
she was present at the conversation be
tween Mrs. Shelby and Graham, wher
| tho former said she saw Bennett seizt
Graham's gun, but her mother forbade
her saying so.
The Court ruled that evidence showing
conspiracy among the Bennetts to make
away with Graham be ruled out unless
substantiated.
Graham then took the stand and re
lated the feud between the Bennetts ant
himself. The family were tormentinj
and robbing him. When he left th,
Alealde, Jack and Mrs. Bennett rod'
along with him, talking friendly, bu
when about quarter way from town Ben
nett fred on him, the ball striking hi
elbow. He returned the fire. Mrs. Ben
nett slipped off the horse and pointed
revolver on him. Ho levelled the gul
on her and twas discharged, he thought
accidentally, as he never intended shoot
ing her. Then he went home and after
ward rode over to see Dennis, intending
to talk Of the trouble on the road. Ora
ham said: "When I was talking witt
him he grabbed my gun, which wa
lying across the saddle. l snatched
from him, but he grabbed it again, and
fred. / never went under an assume

except when they worried me by thei
treatment. When the Alcalde release

IT SEEMS that our projected Elysian
Park must be sacrificed to the necessity
OF having Pest House near the Jewish
Cemetery. We see nothing to prevent
the location OF the Pest House in some
less frequented portion of the city, or at
some point outside OF the city limits.
The idea OF creating a park on this
majestic hill was a splendid one, and
ought not to be abandoned. On the con-
trary, it ought to be pushed forward with
all possible dispatch.
