ing her way to Martins Ferry, and ne
took her into custody. :,
At headquarters she denied al
knowledge Of the stolen articles, but
Lieutenant Gaus noticed she vas worry
careful OF one OF her shoes, and making
her take it of he found in it parts OF the
chain and the crushed charm.

the watch had been hid in an unsavory
spot. 1t was recovered and the girl
locked up. Whether she will be prose

THAT WATER WAR.
CONSTABLE ROGERS AReEsTED
EIGHT OFF THE COMPTON MEN.
A New Chapter In the Los Angeles
River Controversy The Men Ar
rested Fail to Material re as
They Had Promised.

Another chapter has been added to the
history of the Vernon Compton water
war. The last incident reported was the
holding up of two deputy sheriffs and
four Vernon ranchers by 80 masked men
with shotguns, who tore down the dam
built by the Vernon men, and con-
structed one of their own, tuning the
river into a new channel.
The deputy sheriffs attempted to serve
iniunctions on the masked men, but
were warned to desist on pain of being
shot. One deputy sheriff, who attempted
to tear the mack from the face of one of
the gang, was struck over the head with
the butt end OF revolver, after which
the gang had it all theirown way.
This occurred month ago. Since
then Constable Rogers has been working
on the case night and day in the en-
deavor to find out who the men were
who composed the crowd. After some
time one of the gang came to the con
stable and told the whole story. with the
| result that the constable arrested eight
men yesterday, and holds warrants for
three more The names of those ar.
| rested are as follows: Larkln Snod-
grass, a capitalist, who owns large
! amount OF property at Compton, and has
a fine residence on Washington street I;
| j. d. Sherman, @. Fisher, J Lucra, J..
Abbott, G. Neal. ]. Wilcott and J. Neale
Warrants are out for r. Snodgrass and
| R Kincaird. After their arrest the men
agreed with Constable Rogers to meet
him at the court house last evening at
% clock, where arrangements we're made
with Justice Bartholomew to issue bal
| bonds, Saedsrass having declared his
willingness to go ON the bonds of the
eight men. Justice Bsrth olomew waited
at the court house until 8 O'Clock but
none of the men appeared, and he wait
ed no longer
Constable Rogers declares he will go
out morrow and bring the crowd in
with log chains, if it takes the sheriff's
| whole force.

IT WAS A SUCCESS.
EAsroN, ELDRIDGE q CO.'S SALE
AT THE WOLFsKILL TRACT.
A Scene which Indicated Great Interest
in Real Estate7-A Crowd In At
tendance and Very Good
Prices Realized.

The auction sale OF lots in the
Wolfskill tract commenced yesterday
morning. The sale was conducted by
the firm of Easton, Eldridge & Co. Of
San Francisco, through their local
agency, the Los Angeles Laud bureau.
The appearance and result OF the auc-
ton reminded those present of the old
boom days. An immense canopy tent
was erected on the south side of Fifth
street, west of Wolfskill avenue. Sew
eral hundred chairs were placed close at
hand for the accommodation Of visitors.
Posted up near the auctioneer's stand
was a huge map Of the tract, on which
all could readily see the lots offered for
sale. The firm also brought their best
auctioneer with them from the north.
He is George @. Ludington, and has
been welding the hammer for 30 years,
20 OF which he has been with this firm.
He is one Of the sblest iu-tlers in this
line in the country. @. v Hughes, one
OF the directors OF the company, acted
as clerk. In short, every hing was done
ON thorough and convenient basis, be-
fitting the magnitude OF the sale. Wen
dell Easton said before the sale COM
menced that he expected to get about
one. third Of the prices that ruled during
the liveliest days of the boom. The lat
ter prices ran from $1,000 to $2500, &C.
cording to location.
The following lots are some OF those

OUR HEALTH IS GOOD.
The Death Rates shows Most Pleasant
DeCrsase.

Decrease.
Los Angeles seems TO be in fair way
to escape the cholera or any other
have been received at the health Office
continue to show corresponding reduc-
tion of deaths per month throughout
the coming GUNNER, which this month
shows over the one just past. In April
81 residents OF this city we're borne to
their last resting place Up to date,
however, during the coming month only
AZ deaths have been reported, but thie
leaves eight days of the month vet to be
accounted for, still this health officers
say, strange ae it may seem, that deaths
towards the latter part of month al
ways exceed those taking place during
the first part, and this figure may be
considerably increased.
Last month 23 people died of con-
sumption who were not residents OF this
city wear. This brings another fea-
ture into consideration During those
months in which eastern visitors and
invalids come to Los Angeles the death
rates is proportionately larger. At this
season of the year eastern people are re-
turning TO their homes and are taking
their sick back with them, consequently
there are fewer people left here to die
this month than last and that reason to
great extent accounts for the rapid de-
crease in the number OF deaths.
At the health Office the opinion was
expressed that all the consumptives
were going to the worlds fair and prob
ably intended to swell the mortuary list
of Chicago. The fact RENAME, no wever
that the sanitary condition of Los Ange-
les at the present time is. better than
ever before and from present appear.
