THE PRODUCE EXCHANGE.
A slight Improvement I'm the Mat.
ter of Attendance.

ter of Attendance.
The Call Board of the Produce Ex.
change has been in existence now for two
weeks. As has been stated, it was re-
organized with about seventy-fve mem
bers, buS it's meetings have rarely called
together more than ten or twelve, and on
several occasions go few were present
that it was practically valueless as an es-
teblisher of genuine market quotations.
During the latter part of last week the
attendance improved somewhat, and it is
believed that with the general improve
ment of business likely to follow the ad-
vent of cold weather, fresh vigor will be
Infused into the institution.
A number Of the members of the Ex-
change have expressed the belief that If
the place of meeting could be changed
to some more central locality,
it would receive better attendance. If
rooms could be obtained on Los Angeles
or Main street, within q few minutes
walk of the majority of the commission
dealers establishments, there would be
less difficulty in getting together a con-
siderable number of buyers end sellers.
Others say that the trouble lies in the
apathy of a good many of the members
and their indifference to what might be
their own best interest. Others say that
the neglect Of the calls is merely q tenn
porary matter, and that when they have
been continued somewhat longer they
will be found so valuable to the mem
bere that good attendance will be a per.
manent matter.

A HORSE TRADE.
One Which Turned Out BADLY for a
Grocer.

One Which Turned Out BADLY for a
Grocer.
On Saturday night last q man named
M. Cheesbrough, who resides at his
saloon and grocery store about two miles
beyond the city limits on the Los Nietos
road, called upon Chief of Police Glass
and asked for his assistance. He stated
that he had been anxious for some time
past to dispose of a span of gray half
Norman colts. On Friday evening last
stranger drove up to his place, and stat
ing that his name was Collins and that
he kept a livery stable, said he had heard
that Cheesbrough wished to sell a team,
and that he had come out to look at
them. After inspecting the animals he
drove away, saying that he would return
next day. According to his promise he
made his appearance about noon on
did not want to buy the horses for him
felf, but that he was commissioned by
friend to purchase euch team as the
grays.
As the stranger seemed such q
plausible fellow, esbrough readily
assented to his proposal to take the team
down to his friends house for his inepec-
ton, and on his promising to bring them
back at 2 pm. the old man allowed him
to drive away towards the town, leading
the colts. At 10 ?, m. Cheesbrough began
to feel o little anxious about the nom
appearance of his colts and the livery
man who was commissioned to buy them
for 5000, and about an hour later his
anxiety overcame his drowsiness and he
came down town to make inquiries.
Chief Glass OWNED that the old man
had been victimized by a confidence
man, and Detective Bosqui was detailed
to hunt up the alleged livery-stable man.
A telegram was received from the detect
i've yesterday to the effect that the horses
were safe at San Pedro, and that he was
on hot trail after the thief. 1t was as
certained that the fellow had hired bay
horse and buggy from the Ventura
Stables on Los Angeles street, and that
he had forgotten to return them in the
haste of his departure.

NEWS ABOUT TOWN.
Inquest Upon the Body of e,
r. Willis.
MURDER OF AN INDIAN GIRL
Witnesses Arrive From Yuma-Other
Items of an Interesting
Character.

Coroner Meredith held an inquest yes
terday at the undertaking parlors Of
Messrs. Orr & Sutch, upon the body of
Eugene E. Willis, who committed suicide
on Saturday evening by shooting himself
in room IA Of the old Arlington lodging
house.
Officer W. 7. Huston and Detective
M. L. Bowler were examined, but their
testimony was merely repetition of the
details as published in the columns of
yesterdays HERALD. The only new
feature introduced was the testimony of
Richard Rsggett, the hackdriver, to
whom Willis had written when premed-
itating his own death. He stated that
he called upon his friend Willis, whom
he had known for the past nine years,
in room IA of the Arlington, on Com
mercial street. They ate and talked for
some minutes, and Willis asked him to
read letter of six pages which he had
just written to woman. Rag
gett refused to read it, how
ever, and Willis then directed
an envelope, and after sealing up his
letter injected a dose of morphine into
his arm with a hypodermic syringe. As
he was confirmed morphine ''fend, :"
this action occasioned no surprise to Rag
gett, who arose to leave the room, prom
ising to return in an hour. 1t was then
nearly 1880 O'Clock, and as Raggett
reached the main hall of the building he
heard shot fred in the direction Of his
friends room. He at once notified Mrs.
Hack, the landlady, OF what he had
heard, and she inquired of the clerk
whether he had heard anything of the
Shooting. He replied that he had not,
but that he thought he heard box drop
to the floor few moments previously.
Raggett and the clerk went to Willis
room to investigate, and found him ly-
ing unconscious on his back, in the mid
die of the foor, bleeding from a wound
under the right jaw. He identified the
revolver as the one which he had lent to
Willis some six weeks ago.
The jury returned a verdict of suicide
whilst Of unsound mind.

HIPPA'S DEATH.


witnesses I'm an Indian Murder
Trial Arrive.
Laet night four Yuma Indians arrived
in the city to be witnesses in the exami.
nation of Change and McGill, who are
charged with the murder Of an Indian
girl named Hippa. One of the witnesses
is the father of the murdered girl, and
another is her sister. The murder took
place on the Yuma Indian reservation
on the night of the 2lst of September.
There had been dance that night on
the reservation, and there had been a
pretty wild time, as is usual upon occa-
sions of that kind amongst the Indians.
Il was found that Change and McGill
had been with Hippa and another squaw, ,
and that the men had been freely sup.
piled with : whiskey. None Of them
were at the dance, but took their
fun in getting drunk. They had sew
eral TASKS of whiEkey, and both the
squaws drank whiskey. They did not
give Hippa the raw spirits, she being a
mere girl, but mixed what she drank
with water. On the morning of the 22nd,
in gully near the house OF Hippa's
father, the dead body of the girl was
found, lying extended at full length on
her back and without any external marks
OF violence. The remains were carried up
to the house, and the news soon spread
among the Indians, who grew more and
more excited as the evidence accumu.
lated that the girl had been murdered.
There were some discolorations on her
body, and it finally became q certainty in
the minds of the bucks that Hippa lad
been kicked to death.
There was an investigation carried on
very secretly, and it resulted in sus-
picion being hxed upon the two Indians
lodged in the County Jail.

THE UTAH ROAD.
Survey ors ut Work Cross.Sectio oning
the Route.


The people of Salt Lake refuse to give
up the belief that the Union Pacific is
planning to build southward to Los An
geles. A recent number of the Salt Lake
Tribune says:
Every active work is being done by
the surveyors down in Sewer county.
The Union Pacific has In the field about
forty men running the line for the extern
sion of the consolidated road. These
are all new men sent out from Omaha,
none of the old Utah Central surveyors
being employed. Their work looks very
much like business, since the line is not
only located as they 60, but it is cross
sectioned go that any amount of men
can be put ON by grading contractors.
About all the railway building heretofore
done in the West has not been cross
sectioned prior to graders getting along
the line, thus causing delays. It
seems pretty certainly determined
by the new road to start from
Juab, 60 up the SEWER, taking in the
various towns in that locality, and reach
the route south of Milford not far from
the town of Milford. This will avoid the
desert now passed through by the road
south of Juab, while it will tap much
local trade along the route. Persons
familiar with the work being done and
the activity displayed predict that dirt
will begin to fly at no distant date.
Surveyors are busy running lines for
the R. G. up Thistle creek and
over into San Pete valley. It looks
much as if this road is going to transfer
their graders to this route as soon as
their work is done on ihe main
line in broadening and changing the
road.

LOCAL ISSUES.
A Producers Union to be
Formed at Cahuenga.
ITS OBJECTS AND INTENTIONS.
Progress Of the Cable Road and
Preparations for Another
Big Celebration.

A meeting of the Producers' Union
will be held this evening at the Cahuenga
school house. This is an organization
which came into existence several weeks
ago, and bids fair to accomplish good
deal of good among the farmers of this
section. Its membership numbers about
fifty, and includes most of the growers
of vegetables and fruit in and among the
foothills. Its purpose is to bring about
better condition of things for producers
in widening the market for what they
raise.
To this end it is proposed to, send an
agent east this next winter, probably to
Chicago, and have him undertake the
work of placing the vegetable products
OF this county in that market. BY the
storage cars now in use these products
can be shipped to Chicago and be placed
on sale in first class condition within q
space of six or seven days.
The winter vegetable market of Chicago
is supplied from the South. but a great
section of this part of the Union is fre-
quently visitad by frost, and no part has
the favorable climatic conditions that are
here presented all the year round.
The producers believe that by an or
ganized effort, they can place samples of
their goods in the hands of some special
agent in Chicago with the ultimate re-
suit OF establishing reliable and perma-
nent market there.
Another object which the Producers
Union has in view ia the pledging of the
requisite number of acres to sugar beets
to insure the location of factory here.
Papers have been circulated among the
farmers of the Cshuenga district, and over
5 1000 acres have already been secured.
The next thing is to secure the factory,
and vigorous effort in that direction
will be made this winter.
