AT A RIPE OLD AGE.
Mrs. Cecilia Leck, an Old Timer,
Passes Away.

Mrs Cecilia Leck, wife of Lorenzo
Leck, died yesterday in this city
at the age OF 20 years and s months.
Mr.. Leck survives his spouse at the age
of nearly so. The Lecks came to Los
Angeles among the first people not OF
the Spanish race who made the city
their home. They have resided here all
these years since, and although very re-
tiring people they made many warm
and steadfast friends among the people.
Their son married year or two ago the
daughter of T. d. Mott, Esq, another
old timer. Notice Of the funeral will be
found under the death notices in the
HERALD.

THE EXACT FIGURES.
The Paltry Sum the Tribune Plant Sold

The Paltry Sum the Tribune Plant Sold
For.
The actual sum to cent brought by
the sale of the Tribune plant was
$S40.22. The plant in actual outlay
must have cost over $4,000, perhaps
$25 900.
The results of last Saturdays sale
may pay the sheriff, and possibly may
not. Thus ends at the absolute zero
point, if not at point below it, which
represents a minus quantity, the ex-
penditure of $3.50, 900 in an attempt to
establish daily newspaper.
