Happenings.

Happenings.
POMONA, Jan. 14.-The truth OF the
report from the Lordsburg correspond
ent that "the wiser heads (of that
town. consider it good policy for the
citizens (of that place. to kick against
county division for the present." is
denied by J. E. Kindig, editor Califor-
mia Advance, Lordburg.
He says the report undoubtedly orig
mated from the Hon. L. w. Lord" who
is referred to in the same report as "be-
ing in town."
Several other citizens of our growing
neighbor, Lordsburg, have called in to-
day to have us correct this misleading
statement and state that Lordsburg is as
unanimously in favor of county division
as Pomona, and you know how we are,
good people.

OF young men held a business meeting

NOTES.
The old German shoemaker, Mr..
Piefer, whose little old shop had to be
cleaned out by orders of the board OF
health on account of his kleptomaniac
propensities, died last evening at the
house of German family who befriend-
ed him, southeast of the city. The de-
ceased accumulated some wealth during
his residence here through his miserly
way, and is said to own some property.
His was sad case, and his death is
relief to our citizens.
The Friday evening meetings at the
Universalist church are growing in in
therest Last Friday evening the SUBJ
ject was Punishment, and the discus
sion was participated in by quite num-
Der of those present. The cases of the
rich man and Lazarus and the goats
sent away into everlasting punishment
were freely discussed, but the subject
was 80 interesting that the audience re-
quested that it be continued until next
Friday evening for further consideration.
The Associated Press dispatch sent
from Pomona last Saturday about the
probable troubles on section 36, north
of Lordsburg, was not exaggerated, all
the reports to the contrary. That moth
ing unusual did occur, is probably &C.
counted for because that dispatch was
sent. Not only the wronged settlers
and land owners OF that section were
ready to give any trespassers on their
lands an unpleasant welcome, but their
neighbors on adjacent land were ready
on moments notice to go to their re-
lief. Signals for assembling were all ar
ranged. So says the Pomona Weekly
Times.
The new Sixth-street school building
