She was looking remarkably we'll in a

blue sailor hat crowning her fluffy, fair
hair. She walked without tho slightest
limp, and no doubt will be well enough
to make her professional debut next sea-

an attraction for curiosity, if in no other
way. Nine. Mndjeska, however, once

TROUBLE AT AZUSA.
The Water War Breaks Gu
Again

The Azusa water war has been re-
vived again this spring under somewhat
different conditions from those that pre-
vailed in former years. The seat of the
trouble now is Fish canon and Roberts
canon, branches of the San Gabriel.
Roberts, one of Azusa's old timers,
seven years ago, made an appropriation
of the waters of these cafons and after
wards assigned part of his right to a
corporation. 1t is claimed, however,
that his appropriation was not made in
the proper form provided by law, and
that he has not done sufficient work on
his claim to hold it. Acting on this be-
lief, ex- police officers Phelan and Finu-
cane have Jumped" the claim and have
done some work toward developing the
water.
Roberts, however, does not intend to
yield up the water peaceably, and has
sent a number OF armed men to the spot
to oust the intruders. Phelan, and
Finncane are holding the fort with two
men, and claim to be able to stand off
an army.
The water in dispute is very valuable.
There are about seventy five inches run
ming and undeveloped in the cations,
which is valued at $4,000. Phelan has
retained Attorney J. S. Chapman, he
says, and has been advised that his
claim is good and that he can hold it
against all comers.

We had pleasant call yesterday from
Mr.. Walter Raymond, of the Raymond
hotel and excursion managers. He says
that his people will bring out large
excursion next February, consisting of
the Eastern Fruit Merchants and Gro
GERS associations of New York and Bos-
ton. They will arrive here on the 18th
and remain till the 18th of that month.
This will be the second trip here of these
fruit merchants and grocers. By some
mistake or oversight, when they were
last here they were altogether neglected,
and the welcome originally intended for
them got switched off to an excursion of
Philadelphians who arrived at the same
time. This must not occur again.

DISMEMBERED.
THE OLD SYCAMORE SHoRN OF
ITS LIMBS.
Nothing But the Dead Trunk of the Old
Landmark Left-The Work of Cutting
Its Limbs OF Done Yesterday.

The great sycamore tree which has
watched several centuries come and go
in the dreamy Southern California
weather down by the Los Angeles river,
on what is now Alieo street, which was
giant hoary with age when Father
Junipero planted the first seeds of civili-
zation in California soil, has succumbed
at last to the ravages of time and the
prudence of man.
For years past, since the brick walls
first rose by its sides, it has stood in the
court yard of Maier & Zobelein's Phila-
delphia brewery, and the teams of that
institution have stood hitched by its
side before dragging off their loads Of
the beverage dear to the hearts of thirsty
multitudes.
1t was only last week that branch of
the old tree, weary with long holding
out against the elements, tell and with
its great weight demolished wagon
standing below.
Though the tree was long since dead,
Messrs. Maier & Zobelein had hesitated
to have the old patriarch disturbed, but
now that it had proved untrustworthy
it might readily demolish a man instead
VI q NdSOu dllOIlSI Iiuc, 81 1ilC eulCI
went forth that it should come down.
Yesterday the workmen were en-
gagged in removing the limbs from the
great trunk, which, six feet in dame
ter, is to remain standing in its place
for time.
When a HERALD reporter visited the
scene yesterday, but one of the great
limbs remained, and that had been par
TALLY cut through. A stout rope was
stretched from the tree top across the
street, and one hundred and fifty men
had hold ready to pull. At the word of
command the men put their strength
into long, hard tug. The tree wavered
and cracked ominously, and appeared
on the point of falling, when, of
sudden, the rope broke and
precipitated the crowd into heap
against the fence. Three times was the
rope adjusted before the mighty mass of
timber came crashing down, but at last
it had fallen, and is now being rapidly
