Attorney Bacon Says He Was Not Hit
BY 1t.
1t was reported about town yesterday
that Mrs. Mellett horsewhipped Attor-
ney w. r. Bacon, aud w. r. Bacon de.
clares with equal force that she didn't.
But there is no doubt but what Mrs.
Mellett's Intentions were good.
Attorney Bacon has recently been en-
gagged in case in which Mrs. Mellett
was an important witness against him,
and in his argument the LAWYER referred
to the lady's testimony az false and per-
jured.
Mrs. Melett is a strong. minded, and
possibly a stropg-armed lady, for on
hearing of the attorneys etatements she
at once declared her intention of using
that favorite weapon of angered woman
hood. horeewhip.
But, fortunately, the lawyer heard oI
Mrs. Bacon's determination, and when
she sent up word that she was waiting
outside the Bryson- Bonebrake Office and
wished to speak to him, he was pre-
pared.
Did she lay it on or not?
Mr.. Bacon says he was ready for her
and went close up to the buggy in which
the lady WAS sitting, and when she
pulled her whip the agile attorney de-
clares that her horse started off, and he
ducked out of reach.
The lawyer bears no marks of punish
ment, and the offended woman probably
mistook the will for the deed.

ABOUT GOOD AND BAD BUGS,
County horticultural Commits
missioner ScOtt's Report.
1t Contains Information Of Much
Value to 0rchardIsts.
The Black Scale widespread-rhe REQ
Is Growing While the Yellow ls
Rapidly Dissppearing-The
Orcus Chalybeus.

County Horticultural Commissioner
Scott has broken the record.
He yesterday accomplished the feat OF
filing written report with the board OF
supervisors.
This is departure for which the
commissioner cannot be too highly COM
mended.
Written reports from this officer regu'
larly made will be of much value in the
future for purposes of comparison.
The substance OF his report is as fol-
lows:
During the past month have made
general inspection of large portion OF
this county. find the black scale is in
almost every citrus orchard, and unless
measures are taken to clean up there
will be much unsaleable fruit next year.
Red spider ia gaining q foothold in
many places. Fumigation is Intellectual
for this pest. The best remedy l have
found so far is the resin wash.
Yellow scale is disappearing rapidly,
but the red is likely to prove as de-
structive as ever, except in those or
chards that were fumigated or sprayed
last year.
Powdery mildew has done consider
able damage to the grapes. l have
recommended the vines to be sprayed
with ammoniacal solution of copper or
eau celeste, many delayed too long and
received little benefit.
have made an inspection of the city
parks and find considerable amount OF
black and greedy scale on the trees. !
notified the commissioners who have
ordered the trees to be disinfected.
A new disease was reported from
Compton attacking the apple trees, on
examination found that it was caused
by the heavy fogs at night, followed by
hot sun during the day. This caused
the leaves to dry up and drop, the trees
will put out new leaves and be very
little affected after short time.
Purple scale has again made its ap-
pearsnce in an orchard at Fruitland.
have had the orchard fumigated.
The orcus chaly beus is increasing in
Mr.. Kerchevsl's orchard and is at work
on the red scale. l have removed a
colony and placed them on some olive
trees in my orchard at Duarte that are
infested with black scale. l have in
spected all other orchards in which the
orcus chalyb beus was placed in Los An
geles county and fail to find any trace OF
them.
have now all our fumigating tents in
good repair and except to commence
fumigating at AEusa in about two weeks
from the present time.
/ have had to quarantine consider
able quantity of lemons infected with
red ecale into this county. As a rule
very much less infected fruit is brought
into this city as in former times. The
fruit dealers find it to their advantage
to handle only clean fruit and assist us
materially in refusing to buy any that
ia infected. Peddlers give US much
more trouble than the regular dealers.
The city inspector visits every market
and railroad depot daily.

The Jury in the Hamilton Case Fall to
Agree.
The trial of II. X. Hamilton for shoot.
ing two sheepherders June 25th last was
concluded in Judge Smiths court yes
terday afternoon. The trial lasted all
day, the arguments consuming the
greater part of the afternoon.
The theory OF the counsel for thu de-
fendant was that the shooting was done
in self defense, and the prosecution
compared Hamilton to the robber barons
OF DID, claiming that he held the narrow
roadway up the canon past his bee
ranch, and wanted tribute from the
sheepmen before he would let them
pass. The jury retired at 4 O'Clock and
failed to agree before supper. After
supper they were in the same state OF
mind and at late hour had not agreed,
and were locked up for the night.
