Points About Horses,

A horseman says there are certain
marked points in good horse. You
can see breadth and fullness between
the eyes and ears. You couldn't hire
that horse to act mean or hurt anybody.
The eye should be full, and hazel is q
good color. 1 like a small, thin car, and
want horse to throw his ears we'll for
ward. Look out for the brute that wants
to listen to all the conversation going on
behind him. The horse that turns back
his ears till they almost meet at the
points, take my word for it, is sure to do
something wrong. See that straight,
elegant face. A horse with dashing
face is cowardly, and cowardly horse
is usually vicious. Then l like square
muzzle, with large nostrils, to let in
plenty OF air into the lungs. For the
under side OF the head, good horse
should be we'll cut under the jowl, with
jaw bones broad and wide apart under the
throttle.
the next thing is the build of the
animal. Never buy long-legged, stilty
horse. Let him have short, straight
back, and straight rump, and you've
got a gentleman's horse. The withers
should be high, and the shoulders well
set back and broad; but don't get them
too deep in the chest. The foreleg should
be short. Give me pretty straight hind
leg, with the hook low down, short past
ern joints and round, mulish foot.
There are all kinds of horses, but the
horse that has all these points is almost
sure to be slightly, graceful, good-natured
anS serviceable. ."-[ Breeder and Sports

ELECTRIC RAILROADS.
They Are Growing in Favor with
the People.

Some years ago Los Angeles won
some distinction among other things by
setting in motion the third electric rail-
way in America. Baltimore had the
first, Ottawa, Canada, the second and
the Angelic City the third. Since then
the system won favor rapidly with the
American people, and electric roads are
running not only in many Eastern cities,
but on this Coast they are multiplying
greatly. Seattle has a fine system OF
this sort, and three or four companies
are now busy building lines of many
miles in length in Portland Ore.
The road in Los Angeles has not been
so successful as was anticipated, because
OF many contretemps arising in the af-
fair. Rut these will soon all be pushed
aside, and this city will in few weeks
have the most perfect system of this sort
in the country. Colonel Rowland has
been handicapped by these adverse cir
cumstances, but he is not the man to be

PRIVATE DALZELL'S THRENODY,
Poetic Truths that Are Touch.
ingly Sad.

tngly Sad.
A communication that was at first mis-
taken for a spring poem drifted into this
office yesterday. 1t wasn't rhyme, but
the words were highly poetical. Private
Dalze)l's name was signed to the letter,
which is given in full below:
The flowers we are gathering, COM
rades, for the solemn service of Decora-
tion Day, 1889, will hardly have withered
or lost their fragrance above the holy
shrines where our heroic comrades
sleep, until we shall lie down beside
them. The time is drawing near. The
night cometh. The three shots are al
ready loaded in the guns soon to be fred
above our inseDsate clay. Passing away,
25, ,000-30,000 of US, annually, and in an
accelerated ratio as the years roll on.
We cannot tarry much longer. Bid the
hungry and avaricious of1ice-seeker and
miser be patient. We shall soon be out
of their way Soon we shall be mus
tered under the sod. 1t cannot be long.
They say we want the earth-the
earth wants US, and cannot wait much
longer to receive us. Graves yawn at
our feet. This is the last Decoration
Day 25, 900 of us shall ever see. Before
another Decoration Day we shall rest
under the graves and flowers in our
green tents of peace and rest. Solemn,
then, and universal be the service of
flowers. Bring your garlands, dear old
comrades. and from your sad eyes once
more and for the last time, shed your
tears above these holy graves. But ever
above the blooming blossoms of spring,
above the quietude of death, let the flag
float, the sweetest of all the flowers in
the world. Pittsburg Dispatch.

AROUND THE CITY.
An Attempt to Save a Lady
From Insult.
STRUCK DOWN BY A STONE
The Electric RailrOads-The Mora
Moss League and Other
Interesting News.

Yesterday evening Chase A. Codcri,
formerly foreman of the Tribune COM
posing room, and recently compositor
on the Express, boarded car at the cor
ner of Spring and Third streets. There
were three men on the rear platform con-
siderably the worse for liquor, and their
condition was such that they made use
of the English language in rather bois.
terous manner. At Fourth street lady,
whose name was not learned, got in the
car, and they, go it is reported, continued
their free use OF the worst words in their
vocabulary, Notwithstanding the annoy
ance of the lady. They became insult
ing, and this was more than
Codori could stand, go he remon-
strated with them. This interference
angered them, and all three turf ed
their attention to him, using vulgar
language more boisterously than before.
Then one of them made lunge at him
with cane, and not satisfied with this,
all three attacked him. In endeavoring
to escape their onslaught, Codori fell
backwards off the car and lost his hat
and cane. The men jumped off after
him. Considering discretion the better
part.of valor, ,Codori started on run down
Ninth street, near the intersection of
which street with Main he had fallen
from the car. The three men set out
after him, and picking up a stone he
threw it at them. 1t struck the nearest
man, who happened to be Alexander
Grant. The.stone appeared to have hit
him on the head and he fell unconscious
to the ground. Citizens in that neigh
borhood, observing the occurrence,
telephoned to the Police Station and the
patrol wagon brought Grant to the
Station, where he was examined by DIR.
Morrison. He had not regained con-
sciousness and appeared to be in a serious
condition, acting very much as if the
stone had caused concussion of the
brain. DIR. Morrison searched for a
wound but could find none, and could
form no reliable opinion as to what was
the matter with him. AT midnight he
was still unconscious. Codori was
charged with battery and desired bail,
but upon hearing the facts in the case
Justice Stanton refused to allow him to
give bonds, until it should be decided
whether Grant would live or die. TWAS
the opinion that Grants unconsciousness
was the result of liquor, and that as soon
as it's effects were dissipated he would
waken.

THE MORA MOSS LEAGUE.
Has Mr. Gage Won hts Suit I'm shs
Supreme Court?

mas MR. cage won MS suit In ehe
Supreme Court?
It was stated in the Times, on Saturday
morning, that a decision had been rem
dered by the Supreme Court, in the case
of Henry T. Gage against Ex-Governor
Downey, which involved the title to the
Mora Moss League, tract of 5000 acres
of land near the center of the Warner
ranch, in San Diego county. A reporter
of the HERALD called on the resident
clerk OF the Supreme Court, Saturday af-
ternoon, and he stated that there had
been no decision in the case. By reason
of a recent order of the Supreme Court,
all decisions must be filed in the places
where the cases were heard, and since
this decision went into effect decisions
have not been made public until
they have been filed. Even when
the Court is sitting and renders its opin-
ion, that opinion is not permitted
to be made public until it is filed by the
Clerk. The rules of the Court are very
strict on that point, and for that reason
Mr.. Weir did not think the decision had
been rendered. In fact, he said, it
would be no decision until filed, and he
had not filed it. There might have been
leak somewhere that the decision would
be as stated, in favor of Mr.. Gage, but
up to that time such decision was not
of record.
The Mora Moss League, to obtain
which Mr.. Gage brought suit, comprises
about 5000 acres Of the Warner Ranch,
and was mortgaged to Mora Moss by
Colonel Warner, who was at that time
short OF money. The mortgage was not
paid, and at the Sheriff's sale Moss be-
came the purchaser. Colonel Warner
obtained possession of the ranch in 1912,
and lived upon it until driven away by
Indians in 1851. Originally, Silvestre de
la Portilla owned the ranch, but in 1899,
having become involved, he left
the country, giving his brother full
power to sell. About year
it passed into the
possession of Joaquin Ortega, and in
1912 Colonel Warner was given the land
of Pico. Ex-Governor Downey afterward
obtained possession of the land and has
held it ever since. The claim to the
Mora Moss League fell into the hands of
Mr.. Gage through family connections,
and he believing the claim good, brought
suit, and the matter reached the Supreme
Court some time since. A decision is due
and it is possible that in some manner its
purport has leaked out,

overcome by adversely. He has tele
gram from Boston people which sets
forth that representative of a
strong combination is on the way
here to take hold of the electric road,
and put the office in effective shape, and
operate it in the very best style. The
Boston man was looked for Yesterday,
but he could not be discovered up to 8
O'Clock by the HERALD staff. He will
no doubt be here to-day or tomorrow,
when all the preliminaries will be ar
ranged. 1t is confidently expected that
in sixty days the work will all be done,
and the road running on fast time, and
to the satisfaction of all the people. It
will be a great convenience to the large
community along the line, out to the
western terminus, and the Schumacher
track on West Pico street.

SIT WO PA1r.,,

The local popularity of the Messrs.
Perry made it a certainty that there
would be good house at their frat pre-
sentation of Two Pair, ,at the Los Angeles
Theater last night, and even the bad luck
OF wet night did not keep away the
people. The enthusiasm of an audience
as expressed by applause during a per-
formance is the best indication of
whether the play is striking home or
not, and judging by the liberal enco-
miums that TWo Pair received last night
it not only struck home, but also hit the
mark. The piece is described in the
programme as musical comedy drama,
and that is what ii is. Light and spark
ling, the humor Of the libretto being in
terwoven with good singing and dancing,
it appeals forcibly to the risibility of the
observer, and interests while it amuses.
