camp where he was located, and they seemed
to be in excellent health until the week be.
fore their death. Everybody prophesied
that the San Juan country would not hold
them long, hut had begun TO feel perfectly
safe about them. At first the change in the
altitude did not seem to affect them so badly
as it did me. OF late, however, they seemed
unusually sleepy and languid, and began to
exhibit symptoms Of an alarming nature.
aud they startled the camp by rushing around
and swapping at the air in a manner quite
suggestive Of rabies. They ended by going
into commissions, and were shot by badly
frightened miner. It Is a curious fact that it

an impossibility for burro to die natural

TIpnoa TIh.

Much has been said about Tippoo Tbs
responsibility for the assassination OF Mai
Barttelot, but, in my judgment, Tippoo Tbs
action to a certain extent was prompted by
benevolent intention While 1t is said that
he delayed the supply Of men necessary to
make up Barttelots contingent at Bonalya.
and thus aroused the suspicion Of foul play
that occurred later on, his motive was a good
one, inasnuch as, knowing the lawless char
aeter OF the Manayemas, he appreciated the
difficulty which white men would have In
controlling them, and sought to prevent an
opportunity for the mutiny which subse-
quently resulted in the death of Barttelot.-

Here in this seashore village was the tenn

were castles, armed towers, Roman baths,
attractive and beautiful; all
styles Of vegetation in shorter space than in

wave of beauty ON all the scene, and it hung

In Memoriam-R. Cohn.


When there comes to the hearts Of men
constantly in danger, men who know not
when death may come to them, man
who extends to them the hand of friend
ship and protection TO their interest, such
men feel most deeply the loss of such a
friend. In the death of Bernhard Cohn
the fire laddies of Los Angeles know that
of certainty they have lost one on
whom they could always depend, one
who asked them to do simply what was
right and they could rely upon his sup
port. Proud they are of him, knowing,
as they do, that his character as man
of honesty, uprightness and integrity was
unquestioned, and that during his long
residence in this city he acquired the
name of being that "noblest work Of
God ;" an honest man. Aware that words
are inadequate to the feeling of unani-
NOUS respect and manly love we feel for
him, we consign him to the grave, over
which shall grow those imperishsble
flowers of our esteem, and consigu his
spirit reverently to the "God of his
fathers and that "Peace which passes
all understanding"
