A STARTLING REPORT.
Fred and Frank Adams Have Thrill
ling Experience.

EIGu anu FRANK hudtuS I1dVc q uIl-
ling Experience.
Was Fred or Frank Evans killed last
evening by Mexican crazed with
drink? At an early hour this morning
no definite news could be obtained in
regard to this matter. All that ls
known is what Harley Evans was told
by his brother. Harley Evans is con-
ductor on the Temple street road. His
three brothers, Osmund, Fred and
Frank recently arrived from the east
and located on a ranch on the Downey
road several miles out OF the city. They
drove into town yesterday, and had
Christmas dinner with their brother.
They left again for the ranch about 5
O'Clock. Several hours later Osmund
got on his brothers car at the end OF
the Temple street road, and told the
following story:
"Ab bout three miles out of town on
the Downey road we were met by a
drunken Mexican who carried gum"
"You have killed my people.
shouted the crazy Mexican. We
argued with him, and finally over
powered him as a matter of safety. We
afterwards gave him the gun back and
started about our business. The Mexi-
can got a friend and both started after
us ou horses. Each carried a gun. I
jumped out of the wagon and ran across
the field. My other brothers stayed in
the wagon, and how they Jared with
the crazy Mexicans did not learn, as l
came straight into town."
Harley Evans called at the police sta
ticn at O'Clock this morning to find
out II any shooting scrape had been re-
ported, but no news OF the affair had
reached police headquarters. He is nat
trally very anxious IN regard to his two
brothers. 1t is to be hoped that they
escaped from the drunken Mexicans.

SOME people are becoming very anx
ious about the season, and fear that it
will be an unusually dry one. AS no
one can predict with any certainty how
much rainfall we may have, we can only
base our anticipations upon the expert
ence OF past years, and that experience
has shown US that at least half the aver
age rainfall OF the season comes after
the holidays. From twenty to thirty
inches have usually fallen of late years,
and if we can get few inches in the
early part of next month, and enough
subsequently to make up, say ten or
twelve inches, We shall have sufficient
to carry the crops that are to be planted
through to a satisfactory maturity. The

HOSPITAL BURNED.
Patients Safely Removed Through the
yVarden's Gallant Efforts

WOODLAND, Cal, Dec. 25.-The county
hospital, situated one mile from this
city, was destroyed by fire at 4 O'Clock
this morning. The fire originated from
a defective hue. The ten patients were
safely removed, but the entire building,
valued at $4,000, is a complete loss.
Fortunately most of the patients occupy
wards some distance from the burning
building. Warden Welch deserves
much credit for rescuing the occupants
of the building, as the fire was past con
troll when discovered. The hospital
will be rebuilt.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, Dec. %. This
horning about 2 o'clock, John Saultry,
plasterer living at West End, was dis
urbed from his slumbers by loud
knocking at the front door of his resi-
lence. He arose, opened the door, and
Fas confronted by two young hoodlums,
Who demanded that Saultry admit them.
Panltry started a ire and prepared
b meal for them. After par
taking OF his hospitality they
burned on Saultry and beat him in a
most brutal manner, then throwing him
bn the bed, they cut off his mustache.
Not satisfied with this, they again laid
hands ON him and threw him on the
foor, stripped him OF all his clothing,
they turned him out of his house. The
was down to "a degrees.
Almost naked Saultry walked six blocks
pto town and borrowed sufficiency OF
Nothing to make his appearance in
ublic. He then procured warrants for
be arrest of assailants.

THE weather yesterday was charming,
and made Christmas far more acceptable
to pedestrians and attendants upon the

IN SOCIETY.

AT S p. m. Christmas eve occurred
very pretty double wedding ceremony at
the residence OF Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph
Haigh, 1926 s. Hope street. Mr.. J. l..
Cuttings, one OF the able young steno-
graphers Of this city, welded Miss Hat
tie Randall, beautiful blonde, OF La
Harpe, I'll. The other contracting par
ties were Walter S.. Melick. formerly OF
this city and now an extensive rancher
and deputy assessor OF Antelope valley,
and Miss Clara M. Sailor, a charming
brunette. daughter OF rancher in
Orange county. Mrs. Haigh, sister OF
the latter bride, had the. house neatly
decorated with mountain holly and
palms. Presiding Elder DR.. p. f. Bre-
see tied the hymenal knot in a simple,
impressive ceremony. The brides looked
very charming in their cream cashmere
dresses trimmed with faille silk and
lace, and decorated with orange blos-
SONS, maiden hair fern and white rosea.
The presents were very appropriate.
The lunch served was elegant. The
happy couples started on bridal tour
with double surrey through the San
Gabriel valley, where they will linger
for few days.
Messrs. John and Fred Knopf, two
amia5le young bachelors who believe
in an abundance OF good cheer on holi-
day occasions, not for themselves alone,
but for their neighbors as we'll. rigged
up delightful Christmas tree at their
residence on Palm street, for the "babies
in the block" 4 number Of little ones,
accompanied by their older relatives,
partook of the Knopf brothers' hospi-
tality on Christmas eve, and made up q
very merry Christmas party indeed.
Gifts were lavishly bestowed on all
present, and the children went into &c.
siscies when the tree was lighted up.
1t was an occasion to be remembered,
and the party unanimously voted that
if the Knopf boys stay in the business,
Santa Claus will find his occupation
gone. Among the little ones who were
favored on this festive occasion were:
Norma Schwear Laura Finch, Maudie
Clark, Jimmy Avery and Frances Liven-
good.

The indications are that Los Angeles
will give Edward S. Willard and "A. M.
Palmer's company fitting welcome at
the Grand opera house next week. The
fame of this artist is of the kind that
will bear the search-light of truth. 1t
has been won without resort to senti-
mentalism or claptrap, and is therefore
the more stable. Mr.. Willard is an art
ist to the core, and has been content to
let his work speak for him at all times.
He came to America almost unan-
nounced, and offered his art for the ap-
proval OF the public, and his progress
through the country during this, his
second season, has been attended by
ovation after ovation. That he has de-
served all his success is the verdict of
every body who has seen him, and
doubly the verdict OF those who have
met Mr.. Willard personally and know
his quality as a man of retinemnt, OF
scholarly attainments and OF general
good nature. A brilliant audience will
doubtless receive him here.
