 Other Boys.
 Charlie Weaver, a 14 year old boy who is employed in the clothing store of Brett & Co, was badly beaten by four boys, armed with sticks, on South Main street near the Watch shop, at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. For sevaral days the Weaver boy has been employed by Liveryman Austin to drive a team to the Watch factory at noon, taking the place of another lad who was considered too small by MT Austin to do the work. Yesterday noon the latter boy with three of his chums attacked Weaver cutting a deep gash in his head and backing one eye. Prosecuting Attorney Burpee was appealed to and warrants are out for the arrest of the gang.

AN INDIAN BATTLE.
A Savage Encounter Between Two
Natives at Ysidro.

A Savage Encounter Between Two
Natives at Ysidro.
Ramon Pena, an Indian from San Luis
Rey, was yesterday held by the United
States commissioner to answer the
charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon. Pena is accused of slashing
an Indian named Pablo, with knife,
on the 22nd of last month, at San
Ysidro. An Indian named Calavasas
was also cut in the melee. Pena claims
that he became involved in dispute
with boy over the payment of some
money, when Calavasas came up and
interfered. Some words ensued and
Pena was knocked down and beaten into
unconsciousness. On regaining his
senses he picked himself up, and draw
ing from his pocket small knife he
started in search of Calavasas. He found
his man in Il house sitting on chair.
Calavasas ran away, when Pablo ran up
and offered to stand good for whatever
punishment Calavasas was to receive.
Pablo smashed Pena across the face and
Pena retaliared by slashing Pablo across
the stomach with knife. Pablo is in a
dangerous condition. Pena's bail was
placed at $4,000.

UNFORTUNATE MAGGIE.
She Accuses w. c. Morton of an At.
tempt to Rape.

Maggie Bowers, of Pomona, has
charged w. G. Morton, of the same
town, with an attempt to violate her
person. Maggie, it appears, from the
testimony, was a servant in the house
of Mr.. johnson, of Pomona. She
found, on September 18th, that there
was no bread in the house, and she was
sent to the store up town to get it. Mr..
Johnson had hired buggy from Mr..
Bingham, and Maggie drove to the
store in the buggy to get the bread, and
then went to the stable to get hostler
to drive her home and return with the
vehicle.
Miss Bowers testified she went to the
stable, and hostler named Morton got
in to drive her back to the Johnson
residence. On the road he gagged her
and tied her hands and feet securely
He drove to the Johnson place, got out,
left the bread, and then took the girl tC
an out of the way place, where he at.
tempted to violate her person. ~She
succeeded in defending herself until
Rev. Mr.. Phillips and G. w. Thompson
drove by, when she rushed up to them
and stated what had happened. They
took her home. She testified that
Morton tore her clothes and attempted
to violate her person.
The case will be concluded today

THE WHITE VEIL.
Three Young Ladies Renounce the
World at the Cathedral.

ttOiAo az SAAS SoShSoA"As
Three young ladies OF the Convent OF
Mercy took the white veil yesterday
afternoon at the cathedral. A large
congregation was present. The three
ladies who have renounced the world
are Miss Kate McNerney, in religion
Sister Mary Bibina; Miss Bridget Hor-
kins, in religion Sister Mary Antonia; /;
and Miss Mary Halesey, in religion
Sister Mary Francis. The novices were
attired in bridal robes with orange bios
SONS. They marched in behind little
cross bearer and knelt at the altar. The
Very Reverend Father Adam, the vicar
general, officiated. He was assisted by
the Reverend Father Mcdonald, and
number of priests occupied seats in the
sanctuary. Father Adam interrogated
the ladies in regard to their willingness
to take the veil, and delivered an appro-
pirate sermon. The superior then took
the novices to side room, and dressed
them in the religious habit. They then
approached the altar, and received the
veil from Father Adam. The ceremony
was very impressive. These are the
first three young ladies to take the veil
at the cathedral.

RIVERA'S RICHES.
PROFITS OF WALNUT GROWING IN
THAT PLACE.
A Circle Within a Three-Mile Radius
lReaps Revenue of Nearly Eighty
Thousand Dollars.

Rivera is par-excellence the walnut
district OF this section. This crop is
made speciality of on the rich lands be-
tween the two rivers and in the imme-
diate vicinity Of both. There is an as
sociation of the growers OF the district,
which includes three-fourths of all the
walnut orchards of the place. This as
sociation has sold its crops, gotten the
returns and declared the dividend for
the seasons work. Here is an itemized
exhibit of the business, embracing the
full names, the number of sacks, the
weight in pounds, and the gross returns
to the growers, as follows:
Los Angeles herald., 1890-12-13
Totals .......... J6,536l761 1853, ,6l1 81

One of the growers not in the associa-
ton is B. Guirado, whose crop of wal
nuts sold for $7,726.60. The organiza-
ton embraces three-quarters of all the
growers in the district. Thus the total
returns from the sale of walnuts into
the pockets of the growers would be
about $4,000.
The area on which these crops were
grown is very narrow. Taking the
Rivera station as center and with
radius of three miles, there would be
but one of the growers in the above list
outside of the circumference. J. d.
Durfee is that one. Now, with radius
of three miles, the area enclosed
in the circle is only 1927 square
miles, or 1912 acres. That is
the equivalent of a little more
than 100 quarter section farms in the
corn or wheat regions OF the west. That
is from the standpoint of mere area.
How much gross returns would 100 such
farmers get IN Illinois or Missouri? AS
an average, twenty bushels an acre of
wheat is high. For such a farm one
might estimate 120 acres available for a
crop. The wheat hardly ever commands
on the farm more than seventy-five
cents bushel. Two bushels must be
deducted for seed, leaving eighteen per
acre to market. The usual results Of
such farming are gross return of Sc to
| $12 per acre at the best. Taking the
highest figure we would get from each
farm, if the entire acre were in wheat,
the results will not be greatly
larger than the figures above derived
from the sale of walnuts. Now as a
matter of fact, at Rivera, the orange
crop within the same circle will bring
in as much as the walnuts did. And
both crops occupy only a small part OF
the 2S square miles--a very small part.
There are about 20 walnut trees to the
acre. They will yield two to five
sacks each. At the smaller figure it APP
pears that there would be less than 200
acres under the above walnut
crops. The same district is rich
in potato and corn fields, in
dairies and alfalfa meadows, and in
deciduous fruit orchards, with much
more than half the land still in raw
state. To be more specific, it may be
said that the profits OF walnuts range at
about 5000 per acre, with some orchards
running as high as $500 or even more,
Note that less than fifty people gather
in the 100000 above. They have patches
of three or four acres from which they
gather $1,000 to $3.50 each. With g
patch OF ten to twenty acres the revenue
will be $4,000 to $4,000. In the next
three months the same people will
double that revenue from the sale O

A CUTTING SCRAPE.
A Serious Fracas Which Occurred at
Elizabeth Lake.

On Tuesday night some parties
gathered at the house of Louis Christie
pher, at Elizabeth Lake, says the Lam
caster Times, and were enjoying them
selves when Augustine Ferrier and
George Sears engaged in scuffle, Fer
rier getting little the best of Sears.
This made Sears angry and he proposed
a fight but Ferrier told him he did not
wish any trouble, and did not want to
fight. Sears urged the matter, calling his
opponent all sorts of vile names, until
he at last agreed to fight it out. They
went out with light to see that no foul
means should be used, but the light
was extinguished and the men came to-
gether. Sears used his knife, cutting
Ferrier in the side, little above the hip
Los Angeles herald., 1890-12-13

bone. The cut is about two inches long
and had it not been for the heavy cloth
ing worn by Ferrier, it might have been
quite serious. Ferrier was brought into
town and the cut sewed up by DR.. Bar
ber, who says there is no cause for alarm.
Sears also came into town, and was ar
rested by Constable Mayes. Ferrier will
be sent to the hospital for treatment.
Sears appeared before Justice Hall on
Wednesday morning, and the time set
for preliminary examination Tuesday,
December 10Th. Judge G. B. Ladd ap-
pears for the defense.
