object--in not having a meeting be-
fore the election. They did not want
any aldermanic resolutions as to tho
non-partisan presiding officers.

TWO SONNETS.

Across the sun in threatening darkness went
A great cloud. thunder rim'd; and SILENT to
Their sheItering nests the birds affrighted few
And the June leaves were into shivering sent;
And soft young grasses il the meadows bent
And the hushed, heat charged air, more sultry
grew,
When, suddenly bolt Of fame shot through
The insurgent sky, wherein a fire seemed pent;
And down its darkeped bosom crashed a sound,
AS massed artillery had broken away;
Then, rush of mighty waters smote the ground,
For clouds, black souls that held the heavens in
sway,
With passion Of the lightning all unbound
Broke forth tumutuous nor their foods could stay
Poor rose, that but two yesterdays ago
Bloomed by the way SO young, and fresh and fair
Something of your old fragrance still you bear,
With kisses of the wild rain, lying low
The grasses have been lifted up, and blow
Thick starred with daisies in the storm cleared air
And the June leaves forget their half despair;
And rock the yellow sunshine to and fro;
The skies are even fairer than before;
Yet with the rain your crushed leaves still are wet;
With life so sweet, can death mean, all is DER;
Nay, chance some bird, your blush remembering
yet,
VIII daily come, and to the sunrise pour
A song SO glad, men will unlearn regret.

To the Press of Los angeles: The publication
of the complaint filed yesterday against Geo
H. Bonebrake F. G. Howes and others in the
newspapers of San Francisco may oe profes-
sional, and may operate to dsqualify many
men in San Francisco from acting as jurors,
but these defendants reside in Los Angel les, and
the case will be tried here, and, atter bT1ei
statement of the facts constituting the defense
to this action, we do not hesitate to state our
convictions that after the trial, the friends OF
these defendants will have no reason to regret
their acquaintance with these men, or to sus
peet their honesty or integrity either IN this OF
any other of their public or private transac'
tious here or elsewhere.
We do not believe in trying cases through the
newspapers, but our answer Will be fully pre-
pared and our defense outlined and set forth
and filed in the Office of the Clerk within few
days; and knowing that "he laughs best who

now, and reserve our laugh until home Court

A HORSE CASE.
An Auctioneer Arrested on a Charge
of ExtOrtfOn.

An AuctiOneer Arrested ON a Charge
of ExtOrtiOn.
An auctioneer and horsedealer, named
J. B. Geek, whose place of business is
on Los Angeles street, near Also, was
arrested at his residence, on the corner
of Howard and Macy streets, yesterday
afternoon, by Officer Jackson, on war
rant issued by Police Judge NJ. 7. Owens,
charging him with extortion. On being
brought up to the Police Station in his
own buggy, Mr.. Cooks request to
be allowed to hunt up bondsmen
was granted, and bonds in the
sum of $1,000 were furnished.
Mr.. Cook gave the following version of
the story A few days ago B. Pico, a
San Fernando farmer, called upon Cook
and left couple of bay mares in the lat
ter's yard to be cold at auction. Cook
informed Pico that he charged COM
mission of ten per cent. for sales, which
is the regular rate charged by the auc-
tioneers of the city, and as Pico agreed to
the terms, Cook considered the deal as
closed. Accordingly the horses were put
up for auction and sold to DIR. Kenner of
this city for $3.50; and that amount was
subsequently paid over by the purchaser
to the auctioneer. In the meantime,
however, Pico had received a better offer
from another party, who promised to pay
Cooks commission in addition; and
when the doctor demanded the delivery
of his newly acquired property,
it was discovered that the orig
inal owner had surreptitiously
taken the team away from Cooks stable.
The auctioneer Immediately drove up
town, and, having stated the case to
Judge Owens, obtained warrant for
the arrest of Pico, who was shortly after
wards brought into court. Before notic-
ing that the team was missing, Cook
had proffered a check for $297, being
the amount realized by the sale, less his
commission at 10 per cent, to Pico, but
the latter refused to accept it on the
ground that the rate was an extor-
tionate one. When in the antecham-
ber of the Police Court on
Saturday afternoon Cook again offered
Picc the check and demanded the de-
livery Of the team, and as Pico accepted
the terms and promised to turn both
horses over on Monday, should the
check be found correct, the auctioneer
refused to prosecute the case. Shortly
after Cook left the courtroom Pico
turned the tables upon him by swearing
to a cross complaint against the dealer,
charging him with extortion.
