Wells, Fargo & Co. have made up
their minds that they will not be both
cred by the claims OF the different sher.
iffs, marshals, etc., who claim to be
entitled to the reward of $4,000 offere d
by them for the capture of train robbers
Evans and Sontag.

the alleged robbers. They have always
been ready and willing to pay the said
reward to the proper partios, but that

have been so extensive as to give the
delightful little place all the airs Of .
considerable town. The main hotel has
been greatly enlarged and improved,
and the housing accomm odations for
the visitors have been aston
ishingly increased. Many new
and handsome cottages have been built,
and a tunnel, rs feet long. has been
pierced through the hill wall that d.
vfdes Avalon beach from the little beach
west of Sugar Loaf. Judge Banning has
built a handsome residence back of this
beach, and has made great many inn
provements which render the little
pocket valley perfect bijou for place
of quiet retreat. The natural attractions
OF Catalina are go inviting to those who
enjoy boating, swimming, fishing and
hunting that it will always be favorite

THERE are few cities which have with
in easy reach of them so fine an ocean
resort as Los Angeles has in Catalina
island. The trip to Avalon is delight
full Que. 1t embraces a pleasant land
ride by rail and most exhilerating sail
by steamer across the channel. Since
the island has csme into possession of
the Bannings they have made very ex-
tensive improvements. The beach al
Avalon was formerly very hard on
pedestrians; it is now beautiful, wide
esplanade, we'll graded and covered with
a crust of cement gravel, which is kept
compact aud dustless by regular sprink-
ling and rolling. The little valley reach

Chief Glass Kicks About Careless Peo-
pie IDJuring Them.
The chief of police is highly indig-
nant about the Wholesale destruction OF
shade trees, caused by careless people.
He said to reporter; Yesterday morn
ing two men on Twenty-second street
between Main and Grand avenue, left
their horse, with very small weight
attached, outside house while they
canvassed up and down the street. The
horse concluded he needed nouriBhment
and dragging the weight with him zig
Jagged from one side OF the road to the
other, devouring all foliage on the young
shade trees in sight. In one place he
chewed up seven out of ten, eating
them to within two feet of the ground.
When Mr.. Rutland, the owner. objected,
the men laughed OF him and drove
away"
The chief is of the opinion that the
council ought to pass an ordinance to
prevent people causing their animals
aud children from destroying these beau
tiful trees.

We HAVE no desire to be hypercritical
with contemporary, at the same time
we are inclined to think that the Ex-
press has lately been guilty of a gross
breach OF good taste, which is doubtless
referable to the thoughtfulness of re-
porter. A party of distinguished Ger
mans--we learn on authority that their
standing is exceptionally good-arrived
in Los Angeles the other day. Because
their names were characterized by for
eign idiom this sprightly representative
OF the Express thought the opportunity
an excellent one to exploit his wit.
There was no great harm done, but the
incident itselfwas scarcely OF q courteous
nature. The next time this callow re-
porter cares to show the nimbleness OF
his fancy in dealing with German NOM
enclstures he would do we'll to d, it in
an impersonsl way. Either copy the

A Cucsmonga Girls Adventure With q
Kobb.r.
There is tide in the affairs of men,
which if taken ct the food, leads on to
fortune. There are also occurrences in
the lives of all which, If not exactly
leading on 70 fortune, produce effects
which will ever be remembered and
probably looked back to with feelings OF
horror.
A Philadelphia woman, while quite
young, one night alter the light
was extingnished in her chamber,
was suddenly eiezed by the throa. as
she was getting into bed.
A burglar was secreted beneath the
couch, and the screams OF the woman
brought assistance and resulted in his
capture,
The nervous shock which the woman
received, however, was go great that
during the remainder of her life, every
night a recurrence of the event would
come to her and che would wake
screaming in the widest alarm.
Miss A. Morgan OF Cucamonga on FRI
day night of last week met with an ad-
venture which she will probably re-
member all her days, although 1T 1s to
be hoped that it will not recur each
night She had been out visiting in the
evening and on her return found burg
lar concealed in her house. She did not
discover him until she had entered one
of the upstairs rooms. Then he Sud
denly appeared behind her, and her
turn met the cleaning barrel OF six-
shooter and she was roughly told to give
up all the coin in her possession. She
produced her purse, which, however,
contained only little over dollar.
Her unwelcome visitor demanded
more money on the pain of instant
death, but as there was no more in the
house he was compelled to depart com.
paratively empty handed. As ne quit.
ted the premises he impresaively told
Miss Morgan that any outcry on her
part before he got safely away would re-
suit in her death. When he had at last
disappeared Miss Morgan quickly fled to
the house of her brother. II. II. Nor.
gan, who gave the alarm. Up to the
present time no trace of her burglar
has been found. 1t is supposed
that he was one of the many tramps
lately noticed in the locality. The au.
thorities are on the watch for him. and
the probability is that he will shortly be
caught.
