OUR ABE,
One Of Oar Old Timers Caught by Cupid for Two Dollars Worth of DisappOint-
 ment.

Every one in Tombstone knows honest hard working Abe Leyda and no one would expect to find him the victim of bunco game known as a marriage bureau" but it is fact. A man named Wilson has been running such a bureau in Fresno and Abe told his story before the U. s. court in Los Angeles Monday, which is taken from the Herald of that city and is as follows:
 When the first witness was called in the examination, it proved to be working man from Bisbee, Ariz.. A. V. Leyda. He acknowledged replying to the following advertisement, which appeared in the New York Police Ga zette last spring;
 | A Spanish girl handsome and wealthy, who for certain reasons, will give half her fortune to any respect able man that will give her his name. Sealed particulars lOc. Address the ACME, Box POT, Promo, Cal. In response to this insinuatiug ad- vertisement, Mr. Ledya, who was old enough to know better, replied, des- cribing himself His summing up of his points was naive in the extreme He VITO e that he was 4S years old pretty old, pretty gray and a little bald" but honest and could give ref erences if necessary. He wanted the half of the fortune, no matter how soiled the character of the Spanish girl. In reply he received the follow ing letter from Bain, then masquersd- ing as Wilson:
 FRESNO, March l6, 1891.
 Dear Sir-Ii you mean business please fill out the enclosed blank. Re l turn 1t with S2 fee and we will arrange matters between you and the Spanish girl.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

At the last meeting of the city coun-
ell the mayor Is reported as making
the statement in his little speech up.
on the financial crisis, that former
administrations had the revenue
arising from the sale of the city school
lands to luxuriate in, while he had
no such resource.
Such q statement shows entire ig.
norance of the history of the city
school transaction or willful mis-
mayor; either is inexcusable on the
part of the mayor of the city.
n n
The city school lands were sold, or
the bulk of them, in 1852 on fifty years
credit; our old citizens bought them
selves rich on this long credit. Ev-
erybody took a slice. But those who
had not paid up the principal prior to
the "break.up," close of the confed-
crate war, were allowed to pay In
worthless confederate money.
The city administrations up to tn 9
period, 1865, may have absorbed the
revenue from the sale of the city do
main, but since that time very little
has been used for general purposes. 4,
Under the Thielepape administra-
ton, the city school fund account was
Strengthened out as far as it
could be and 1t was ascertain
ed that besides the public
land remaining unsold the city
was indebted to the school fund
something over 100000, which 1t
held in trust. During the French adj
ministration an ordinance was passed
acknowledging the city's liability for
this sum and providing for the pay
ment of interest on the amount to go
to the credit of the available city
school fund.
Certain 1t is that during the ten
years preceding Mr.. Callaghan's
reign, the city did not use the school
fund for current expenses; on the
contrary, 1t paid the interest on the
permanent fund.
The people understand this matter,
and they can see through Mr.. Callag-
hans desperate statements. They
have concluded that man who will
make such q statement Is not the
right sort of man for mayor.
