SANTA ANA, Dec. 14.-Five genuine
hobos came to town yesterday morning,
all being cripples. They swooped down
upon this tender hearted community,
and by begging from door to door soon
had enough money to 60 on glorious
Jag. This they did, and for men all
minus part ola leg, got gloriously full.
This morning they resumed business,
and again secured enough money to get
too much whisky, and three OF the
five ale in durance vile as consequence.
One of the cripples, while being taken
to iail by the marshal, showed fight, and
it took about five men to land him in
Jail. They are all hard citizens and will
do to watch.
MORE FOOT RACES.
Evidently Santa Anans are.to see some
more foot racing in the very near future.
A sprinter by the name of Sloan, hail
ing from Norwalk, was in town today
trying to arrange for 150-yard race be-
tween himself and Morris, to take place
on Wednesday of next week for purse
of $500. 1t is not likely that the race
will be made, for the fast man from Nor
walk wants handicap of six yards and
this Morris is not willing TO give.
He says that he is confident that
he can beat Sloan, but he does
not want to run under such odds. 1t is
said by many that Sloan is fast man
and that his real name is not Sloan. Be
this as it may, at even chances Morris
can beat him. A forfeit has been posted
by Quirk and Morris for 25ysrd race,
to be run within the next six weeks for
purse OF $2500.
FINLEY's GUN.
81. Finley must have blushed sew
eral times today as he listened to the
glowing tributes paid to his character by
the district attorney in bis speech to the
Jury. The whole afternoon session OF
the superior court was occupied in listen
ing to the arguments in the Finley as
sault case. The Santa Ana wind was
blowing gale outside the court house,
but lis fury was drowned by the elo-
quence of Attorney Ballard in his plea
for the accused man. The case went to
the jury at p. m. and verdict has not
yet been reached. This case has at
tracted much interest.
Santa Ana, in being honored as the
place selected for the holding of the
next Editorial association meeting, has
a duty to perform. That it is an honor
there can be no doubt, for assembled
here will be some of the most able men
in Southern California, and it is only
proper that they be rendered a. fitting
reception. The editors of Orange
county should meet and make necessary
arrangements for receiving our visitors
properly, and also to see to their enter
tainment. AS the meeting is to be held
early in January no time should be lost |
in attending to these matters.
