POMONA.
a General Exodus OF Peopls-News Mat

POMONA, July 4.-Pomona--her busi-
ness houses and streets-looked today
as II an epidemic, panic, cyclone or
some other fell demon had swept over
It, and left but lew struggling, languid,
lonesome and forlorn representatives OF
the genus homo" to witness, and spec
ulate upon the vacuum thus rtatod, but
all the same, tonight when the retiring
hour is ushered in, or at least on tomor-
row morning when the "reveille call"
OF duty places all in the ranks of regular
routine life again, these came stay-at-
home creatures will feel in better plight
than the hundreds who, weary with the
tramping, jamming, eweltering doings
OF the da7, have returned home eadder,
II not wiser, than were about $50 that
took the various Southern Pacific
trains from our depot, and eome 250
that left via the Santa Fe dnring the
day for different points east and west,
the greater number leaving on the early
trains /; in fact, the z :39 Southern Pacific
train (although there we're two extra
coaches), was literally jammed to every
foot of available space, both in and out
eide, for scores hung onto the platforms
and steps, with anil desperandum effort
that would have done credit to O better
cause. 1t is evident that the railroad
officials undersstimated the probable
travel Of the day but We are confident
that on the return trip more space and
better accommodations will be given the
tired, homeward bound. Besides those
leaving BY rail there were scores OF We.
hicles laden with men, women and
chiiren, being driven in every direction
to different points of interest in and
along our lovely cations and foothills,
where q more quiet picnic day of it
might be had, and that too in manner
better suited to their taste and fancy.
Los Angeles, Santa Monica and the bicy-
Gle contest impelled the majority west
ward; but our boys OF Company d and
the Ninth Regiment Infantry band had
quite following to San Bernardino.
Among the hundreds that were to
take the morning train just as it pulled
out were Mr.. and Mrs. H. L..
Brown, Mr.. and Mrs. Lane McComas,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. W. Mustard, Mrs. T. O.
Thomas, Miss Nettie Rutherford, Mr..
Terrell Thomas, Master Anson Thomas,
Mr.. and Mrs. N. Cohn, Mr.. Will s..
Overton, City Attorney Bell.
On last night the little folks had
quite lively time on Second street, en-
joying the firing Of fire crackers, bombs,
eky-rockets, etc.

ships added to the roll OF the First Bap-
tist church of Pomona, Rev. f. r. BEN

A very sad accident occurred Sunday
afternoon In the vicinity of Spadra,
about half mile below the residence Of
Mr.. H. K. Dorsey, young Spaniard,
about ~ years OF age, the son of Louis
Reyes was drowned while fishing on
the creek, and It. is supposed by those
who found him (as his feet were turned
upward and out of the water against
the banks) that he either tainted and
fell In, or, falling in head down, was
stunned to such an extent that he could
not extricate himself. The INQUEST was
