citizens to follow him to the Chimes

When Sheriff Burns appealed to those
who loved law and order to join in
line and follow the lead OF Emil Har-
ris, number of citizens did as he
asked, but shortly after one or two
jumped out, and the rest following
their examples refused to follow Mr.
Harris lead. This attempt was I'M
successful, and Sheriff Burns again
addressed the crowd, and gave way to
C. e. Thorn, who also tried to induce
the citizens to restore peace to the
city. Judge r. M. Widney and a
mum Der OF his followers aided most
efficiently in restoring order, and in
fifteen minutes after their appearance
on the scene all was quiet.
Such is a brief history of this build
ing, which is now thing of the past.
OPENING MOVEMENTS.
The history of the movement which
has resulted in the destruction OF he
building above described is almost as
extended as that OF the building itself.
Los Angeles street as accepted by the
city on July IS, 1854, was defined as
follows:
The lines Of Los Angeles street are
hereby established as follows, viz:
Its western line shall run on q direct
line from the corner of William Nord-
holds house, with the porch OF the
house on the west side of the house
of Thomas Sanchez, to where it inter
sects the cross street between the
property Of Alexander Bell and Abel
Stearns, and its eastern line shall be
tablished from the house of Felipe
Rhein to an angle in the house of
Manuel Requena, fronting Franklin
street; thence to stake planted by
the surveyor Immediately in front
of the house OF Soledad Yudartde
Coroncl, and thence along the wall of
the house OF Francis Mellus to inter
sect the street running between the
property of said Mellus and of Pru-
dent Beaudry.
These limits suited the then small
population of the city, but as the
years rolled by and the population
numbered thousands where it had
emily numbered hundreds before,
it became evident that for
the convenience OF the public
Los Angeles street should have been
media street. No movement, how
ever, was made in this direction until
on June "a, 1875, q resolution estab-
fishing the lines of Los Angeles street
was adopted and published. 1t pro-
vided for the extension of Los Angeles
street from Arcadia street to Alameda
street. For some reason this first en-
deavor TO remove the distractions
failed and the matter was allowed to
drop until on March %, 1877, the
name of Negro alley was changed by
the City Council to Los Angeles street.
A CHANGED NAME.
This effort ON the part OF the Council
to change the name OF Negro alley did
not have any effect on the public, nor
did it result in extending Los Angeles
street, thereby securing the desired
result. This resolution was afterward
ignored by the Council, for on July
10, 1877, a resolution was adopted ex-
tending Los Angeles street from Area
dia street to Alameda. This resolu
ton was as ineffective as were
those formerly passed and the
project to open Los Angeles
street was almost forgotten, until
on June IS, 1881, when an ordinance
was adopted establishing the lines Of
Los Angeles street from Arcadia
street to Alameda street and defining
the limits within which the assess
ment for extensive widening and i'm
proving Of said street shall extend.
The City Attorney was instructed to
commence and prosecute proceedings
| for condemnation.
On July IL, 1881, a resolution was
adopted designating the limits of the
immediate vicinity for assessments.
On the same date an ordinance was
adopted directing that proceedings be
taken for the condemnation of the
property necessary to be taken for
street purposes.
On the 9th of August, 1881, another
resolution fixing the limits of the inn
mediate vicinity was adopted. The
same day an ordinance was
adopted directing proceedings to
be taken for the condemnation
of the property for street purposes.

at this time, for the records contain
