A DISPATCH from San Francisco says that Los
| Angeles county (Cal) has long been terrorzed
| by a well armed band of outlaws whose
| desperate deeds and depredations have
| menaced the public peace. Last week the
| outlaws, headed by Frank Fray, drove large
| herd of cattle from Gen. Beall's ranch, near
| Lancaster. Gen Beal offered reward of $500
each for the capture of the thieves, dead or
| alive IRONY" Crane, one of Beall'S men, a
daring fighter, started in pursuit of Fray IS
| band. Fray heard of it, and eluding his pur-
| suer, rode into Lancaster at the head OF his
band while Crane was absent His men were
| armed to the teeth. They surrounded Crane s
house and burned 1t to the ground. The people
| were powerless to interfere. After the burning
| of the house the robbers beat retreat, and as
they galloped out of town shots were fired at
| them, but it does not appear that any of them
| were hit. An Indignation meeting was held,
| and posse of armed men was organized to
follow the trail of the bandits.
| A CORRESPONDENT Of a foreign Journal in a
| letter from Sophia, gives this account of an ex-
exciting battle between storks and eagles, of
which he was an eye witness: Early on Thurs
| day morning saw an unusually large num-
Der of eagles, probably about 200, taking their
| flight toward the mountains of the Jantra A
crowd of persons watched the spectacle and
| the crowd greatly increased few hours later
| when number of storks, not fewer than 300,
| flew straight toward the regiment of eagles,
| evidently bent on war. In an instant eagles and
storks were mingled in deadly ARRAY 1t was a
| fearful combat. Every now and then a
| wounded or dead bird, stork or eagle fell to the
ground The battle lasted for nearly an hour,
| when the two armies, apparently weary of fight,
flew off in opposite directions. Upon a rough
| reckoning it was estimated that at least a third
of the combatants fell in the severe struggle.

people are quite eager to know which of the two
armies was victorious. Probably, as in many
wars Of unfeathered bipeds the advantage lay
