THE GRAIN CROP.
Views of Man Who Has Been Look
ing Over the Country.

M. N. Newmark, a grain-broker of this
city, has returned from a trip through
the southern part of California, made
for the purpose of getting clearer idea
of the state of the crops. He reports
that there is an excellent crop about
Perris and San Gorgonio as regards
quality, and that in point of size it is
about rs per cent. of last years yield.
The Perris district will raise from 4O0, 900
to 100000 bushels of grain this year.
In Orange county the yield will prob
ably be larger than it was a year
ago, as the acreage has increased
considerably. The bad effect of the
heavy rains which delayed sowing early
in the season seem to have been felt
much more severely in Los Angeles
county than elsewhere. Around Spadra
and Puente, Mr.. Newmark says, the
crop will be about so or 60 per cent. of
what it was year ago.
The market is at present wavering
and uncertain, as it is just in the period
between guesswork and a tolerable de-
gree of certainty with regard to the
amount of the crop. In short time,
when threshing gets under way, it will
be possible to form a much closer esti-
mate of the amount OF the crop, and
until that is accomplished the price is
not likely to change materially.

visited all the haunts frequented by the
man he was after, and was about to
leave when he accidentally found his
man, placed him under arrest, and
started on his return trip last evening.
When a short distance from the city he
was met by the sheriffof San Bernardino
county, in company with four deputies,
all of whom were armed, and he was
ordered to throw up his hands. He re-
piled that he would never throw up his
hands and that they could go on with
their shooting.
They did not shoot, but they released
the prisoner and the constable came on
to Los Angeles.
Wilson states that the only reason he
can assign for their action is that he
failed to call upon the sheriff and make
a confdant of him as to his business in
that county.
The matter will doubtless be fully in
vestigated by Sheriff Aguirre, and should
Wilson's story be verified the guilty
parties will be brought to justice.

A SUICIDE.
David Strong Shoots Himself on a
Steamer.

The kilograms yesterday morning
briefly stated that a man by the name
of David Strong had shot himself on the
steamer Mexico at Santa Barbara.
Later particulars state that pistol-shot
was heard in one of the state rooms of
the steamer just as she rounded the
first point in sight of Santa Barbara on
Wednesday afternoon. The captain of
the steamer ran to the door, and found
an old man lying on the floor Of the state
room with bullet-hole in his head and
a revolver in his hand. He had placed
the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth
and then pulled the trigger, the ball
passing upward into the brain. No one
on board knew the man, and his
name appeared on the passenger list as
David Strong. He had ticket from
San Francisco to San Pedro and was
bound for Los Angeles. At the inquest
held in Santa Barbara the testimony
showed that deceased had been quite
sick, and had told waiter that he was
suffering from general decline. He
had bad cough and appeared to be
quite weak. The body will be held at
Santa Barbara until relatives of the de-
ceased are found to claim it,

for Los Angeles-Other News of

Judging from the number Of inquiries
received daily from people in the east
concerning Southern California, the in
terest in this part of the state has not
yet died out, in fact it appears as if it
were difficult in the east to obtain infor-
nation about this section. A letter was
received by the HERALD yesterday from
E. t. Hart OF Newark, N. j., who had
his attention drawn to Los Angeles
through the notice of a photograph of a
field of 25, 900 callas in bloom published
in the HERALD and copied in an eastern
paper. Mr.. Hart, who is manufac-
turer OF paper boxes, states that he is
giving a good deal OF time in reading
matters about Los Angeles county for he
wants to come here and locate. He
says: "Of course there is no demand for
my product there, and in fact dom t
care for it if any other business remuner-
ative can be had. My hobby is for about
thirty or forty acres OF oranges. figs and
berries, ETC., if that is called paying
business with you, and no doubt it is.
Hear considerable about the busted
boom in the east, but trust you will pull
through all right, and that very soon."
Mr.. Hart closes by asking for reading
matter and information concerning Los
Angeles and its products, which he SAYS
is difficult to obtain in reliable shape.

ANOTHER INF ANT
Found Dead in Vacant Lot on Winston
Street.

A Chinese rag-gatherer while raking
over pile of rubbish ON a vacant lot
near Winston street, between Main and
Los Angeles streets, unearthed the body
of a female child, which had apparently
been deposited there but short time.
He informed Officer Gus. Smith of his
discovery, and the policeman, after veri-
flying the heathen's story, notified the
coroner. The body was removed to the
morgue pending an investigation. The
crime OF infanticide is becoming much
too popular of late, no less than six
cases having been called to the attention
Of the public in as many months.

One day an Oberlander had the wicked
idea of cutting in two the branches
Of the tree where they were pcrched,
SO that they fell down pell nell, and
from that day dwarfs disappeared.
Others say that the mountaineers
pushed their infamy SO far as to heat

placed their feet, and Others again af-
firm that indiscreet curiosity was the
cause Of their hasty flight.

4 Romantic Inheritance.

From Stamford, Conn, comes the
tale Of an inheritance which reads like
the plot Of an English sensational novel.
A crippled music teacher Of that
place had saved by strictest economy
some thirty years since about 81, 500,
with which he intended TO buy a home
for himself and his mother. He always
kept the money beside his bed, and one
night il was stolen. All search was un-
awaiting, and the poor fellow took up
his work again with a heavy heart.
But tlle sequel Of the tale is that not
long since the music teacher, still poor
and obscure. received a letter from a
man in Australia whose name he had
never even heard. saying that he was
on the point of death; that he had
stolen the money, and that so greatly
had il thriven in his hands that he had
amassed n large fortune. al of which
he had willed the musician.
Not long after the Australian was
gathered to his fathers, and his lawyers
