HISTORIC WEAPONS.
Now on Guard Before the Los
Angeles Courthouse.
They Have Served In Every Mexican Rev
olution In California and Played
Part In the Famous Amera-
can Conquest.

| ct the corner of Main and CONNER
cial streets, Los Angeles. planted muz-
zle downward, are two curious cannon,
also two old smcoth-bores on guard at
the courthouse doors.
These old pieces, says the Los An
geles Herald, have figured in every
Mexican revolution in California and
| in the American conquest.
In 1918, Bouchard, the pirate, visited
the coast. The country was practically
unprotected, and the piratical craft
| visited Monterey. burned the custom
house, sacked the village, and then
came back to the Refugio ranch, above
| Santa Barbara, doing considerable
damage there. The vessel next landed
at San Juan Capistrano, and after
plundcrirg the mission sailed away
and was never heard of again in Cali
fornia. The Spanish government then
sent out some cannon to protect the
coast, and these four cannon are some
of those sent. From the time of Mexi-
co.'s independence, in 1921, to that of
the American occupation in 1916, there
were perhaps a dozen revolutions and
counter revolutions between the
nortenos and surenos, and the capital
Of the territory was removed either
north or south, owing to the residence
of the victorious ''pronouncing" GOV
ernor. But the most noted battle in
which these cannon figured was on the
bloodless plains of Cahuenga, beauti-
ful little spot few miles north OF this
city.
There was revolution on foot The
south had pronounced against Gov.
Micheltorena and his battalion of sol
diers. 1t wa on the 10Th day of Feb
ruary, 1s45, that the sans culottes of
Castro and Pico confronted each other
in battle array, each army about four
hundred strong. Pico had the formid
able four cannon and the valiant Castro
had three equally as dangerous. The
guns were mounted on carretas and
drawn upon the CORY field by oxen.
About a hundred shots were exchanged,
Castro's gunners frequently using
rocks and pebbles, evidently being
short Of ammunition. 1t seems that
each contending side understood the
art of war, and as the guns were drawn
up in position would retreat to a safe

it was found that mule had been

his report of the casualties.
When the forces under Commodore
Stockton captured Los Angeles these
historic cannon passed into the hands
of the gringos. Two Of the guns were
planted on Fort Hill, overlooking the
city. and the other two were planted in
front OF the commodorc's headquarters,
which was about half block distant
from the corner where these same two
cannon are now planted, but wrong

its pro-slavery rival. Legend says that
Atchison won by fraud, but, be that as

since the public does not always keep
on paying large amounts of good
money for inferior and non-productive
property. He sells the shares at
market price, and delivers them to the
buyer by the simple process of borrow
ing the certificates by the use of
money as collateral. This money the
buyer furnishes, SO that the task is an
easy one.
Whether 1t is always safe to sell
even inferior stocks short is one of
those questions which no one can
positively answer. 1t some times takes
long time for worthless shares to
settle down to basis such as properly
belongs to them; and sometimes they
are cornered il such dexterous fashion
that those who have sold them short
are obliged to pay unreasonable high
prices either to borrow, or to replace
them. In the great corner of 'Hanni-
bal and st. Joseph" c stock which has

very many short sellers were obliged
to pay over two hundred in order to re-
place delivered shares at seventy. and
