DEATH OF PETER BRADLEY.

Peter Bradley who resided on the plain
east OF Curtis hill in this town, died very
suddenly on Monday night. He had been
for several years somewhat feeble, al
though able to work. He was troubled
with rheumatism, which came on period
ically, from which he always rallied, al
though leaving its effect. His last ill
ness, IL such it may be called, was only
of a weeks duration, the patient dying
from heart failure. SO sudden and I'M
expected the call, that around his bee
side when the summons came, were only
the wife and the younger members
of the family, and the nearby neighbors.
The oldest son and daughters did not ar
rive until death had robbed them Of a
father. Mr. Bradley had, however, re-
ceived religious ministrations from the
hands OF the pastor of st Rose church
before entering the death sleep. His end
was very peaceful. The funeral occur
red on Wednesday afternoon from his
late home TO st Roses, where the burial
service was read, thence TO the Glen Gem,
etery, where In the new grounds, his re
mains were laid at rest. The pail bear

ley, Thomas j. Bradley, John Keane
Patrick Heating, John Lillis and Patrick

despite disagreeable day. The age O
deceased was IS years. The deceased

DEATH OF MIR AND MRS E. G BLAcKMAN.

Another of the old residents of the
town passed away, last week Friday, in
the death of Ebenezar G.. Blackman in
Cold Spring. He was little over rs years
old and was the youngest son of David
Sterling Blackman. The funeral occur
red, Sunday afternoon. Rev Mr. Linsley
OBLIGATED and the remains were placed
beside his brother Isaac, in the Hunting
town cemetery. Mr. Blackman had been
in feeble health for some time, but was
able to be about until the Monday before
his death, when he had shock, which
left him helpless. He also leaves two
sons, James M. and L. Percy, and one
daughter, Fanny, the wife of Charles
Hurl butt.
Mrs Blackman, wife of the late Eben-
ear c., who had been i'll about three
weeks, died on Wednesday morning, and
to-day her remains will be inferred be-
side her husband. The funeral will oc-
cur OF 2 O'Clock. Mrs Blackman was 70
years old. 1t is especially sad that hus-
band and wife should be stricken at once,
and the relatives will have the genuine
sympathy of the towns people in their
bereavement.

THE MANzANA COLONY

Rev DR. L. w. Haskins of Los Angeles,
CAL, former rector of Trinity church,
was in town over Sunday. He delivered
forcible sermon last Sunday morning
and was cordially greeted by his old
friends at the close of the service. Rev
DR. Haskins has recently resigned the
pastorate of church at Los Angeles.
He is in the East representing the Man
zana colony. This colony is located in
the northwest corner of Los Angeles
county in the La Liebre valley, which is
the westernmost arm of the antelope
valley. The surface is almost level,
slightly undulating, starting Immediate
ly from the foothills, whence the water
is derived, and having gentle slope
towards the center of the valley north
ward. With Manzana as a center, a rad =
us of abont so miles, drawn from the
south to the west, would take in the line
of the Pacific coast from Santa Monica to
Santa Barbara, and compass an interven-
ing mountainous country of 5000 to 5000
feet elevation, covered with oak, pine, fir

summer camping, with trout fishing and
gaming. 1t abounds in minerals, some
small lakes, and numerous streams,
whence the water is derived. The eleva-
ton is 27OO feet. The communication is
at present by stage to Lancaster Station,
on the Southern Pacific railroad, q miles
east of Manzana, but the Santa Fe rail-
road is projected through the valley, the
route established, surveys made, and it
will soon be built. 1t is great almond
raising country.
