A hungry Tramp.

A man by the name Of Doniruel was
brought in from Azusa yesterday and
held to answer in the County Jail to the
charge of burglary in the first degree.
According to his own story he came
upon a camp not far from Azusa one
evening few weeks ago. The owners
of the outfit were away. He was very
hungry, not having had anything to eat
for several days, and he proceeded to
help himself to the provisions in the
larder. He carried off enough for sew
eral meals and was in the act of cooking
himself something to eat at his own fire
some distance away from the camp when
the owners of the provisions came upon
him and caught him in the act.

The life of L. ]. +. Jaeger, the pioneer Of
Yuma, was read by B. A. Stephens and
was ordered published in the annual
pamphlet. The propriety of making a
separate exhibit for Southern California
in London was discussed, and it seemed
to be the opinion that as this part of the
State had won for California its reputa-
ton for semi-trolic fruits, it should not
lose it by joining with the North. The
subject of military education in the pub.

length.

instead of at 1: :15 P. NJ. as hitherto
scheduled This train has been held
back until 80 P. M. for some time past
80 as to make connections, but the
change has not been before officially
notified.
The most important changes are as
regards the Santa Barbara trains, the
running time of each of which has been
shortened half an hour, giving an
hour longer sojourn in town to the
traveller making the round trip in day.
The schedule has also been arranged
SO that the trains will leave in manner
that will give the longest possible time
in the towns at either end. The train
which formerly left here at 8 80 A. NJ.
will now leave at 7 :35 A. NJ, and in the
afternoon the train which has hitherto
left at 8 80 will leave at 4:30. From
Santa Barbara the first train will now
arrive at 15 P. M. instead of 4 80 P. NJ,
and the evening train at S:35 P. NJ. in
stead of at 9:l5 P. NJ. Business men
have been anxiously looking for these
changes for some time past, and their
announcement will be hailed with joy.
