Friendly Highwayman-Local News
Happenings.
ANAHEIM, July 23.-There is q good
joke on a certain couple who hail from
the classic precinct of Placentia, and
also on our vigilant city police. Friday
the couple referred to came to town to
visit friends and at late hour started to
drive home. When near the crossing OF
the Santa Fe on Sycamore street man
suddenly jumped from the ditch into
the road and rapidly approached the
buggy. The man had what appeared to
be shotgun, which he held in threat
ening position. The woman In the
buggy uttered a piercing scream and
went into Mysteries, and the horse bolt
ed, the driver having all he could do to
keep him in the road. As the buggy
shot past the highwayman and on down
the road the driver heard the would pc
hold-up say, "Hold up, you d-n fool !"
or something to that effect, but the rig
never slackened speed till it had gone Q
mile or more. The parties took q cir
cuitous route, returned to town and no.
titled the nightwatchman, who at once
procured help and started out to search
for the daring highwsyman, and they
spent the best part of the night in q
fruitless search.
Now for the denouement. Our
worthy Zaniers, 8. A. Littlefeld, read
the thrilling account OF the hsirbreadth
escape In the Journal Saturday morning,
and, recognizing some connection in the
affair with himself, hurried into town
and "gave himself up" as the guilty
party, offering the following mitigating
circumstances: Friday he received
notice that big head of water was COM
ing down the Sycamore street ditch and
he took tools and went to the division
gates on that street to clean out some
brush and rubbish in the ditch. Just
as the couple above referred to reached
the railroad crossing the water came
down, and, fork in hand. he started
across the road to adjust gate or do
some such work, and was much aston
ished to hear an occupant of the buggy
scream and to see the horse take fright
and bolt. Littlefeld made some re-
assuring remark. which the couple
thought was a:command to "throw up
their hands, and as the rig quickly
disappeared down the road he had no
chance to make an explanation.

A New Crater In the Moon.

In bulletin of the Astronomical So
ciety Of the Pacific Professor Weinek,
director of the observatory of Prague,
who is specialist in the study of the
moon and to whom have been sent
copies of the Lick negatives of the moon,
has discovered in one of the Lick pho
tographs crater which is not to be
found on Schmidt's map. This object,
which is estimated to be about quarter
of mile in diameter, is of sufficient size
to have been seen by Schmidt, and it is
difficult to imagine that the distinguished

The Distaff mine, owned by Charles E.
Sherman Of Mineral Park, is probably
the most extensively developed mine in
the Chloride district, having nearly 500
feet o.. shafts and $500 feet of levels and
tunnels. The main working shaft is
down 200 feet and has a steam hoist
erected. The ore from the Distaf aver
ages, by the carload, about $500 per ton
in gold and silver. Oyer $lO0, 900 worth
OF ore has been sold from the mine taken
from the development work, no stopping
having been done. The ore changes
from horn silver ore above water to
silver glance below, mixed with other
forms of silver. Mr.. Sherman has
closed the Distaff down and awaits the

MURMURs OF THE NODES.
Some Brief Hints Of the Early Summer
Fashions.

II is the skirt in which feminine In
tereat centres just now. Day dresses
measure five yards around the hem
evening dresses, with trains, eight or
nine. Nobody, however, seems able to
tolerate the crinoline.
Miles Of black laces have already
been sold for trimming corsages, dress
skirts and summer wraps. They are
used by the modiste for bretolles, col
larettes, fichus, sleeve pufis, jacket
fronts and neck and belt garnitures.
Ecru laces are equally in demand, and
these, with lovely nets to match, will
form very effective yokes and vests.
Skirts to Russian blouses, full bishop
sleeys, Elton jackets, triple capes and
skirt founces.
The natty French coats for utility
used during the inevitable damp and
chilly days Of the season, are made
variously Of Scotch hunting cheyiot,
English melton, Harris tweed and the
new rough jacket,cloth in shot effects,
These last fabrics are changeable in
numerous elegant shades.
Beautiful spring and summer garni-
ture, between boa and fchu, is made
of lace, either black or white, edged
with ostrich feather trimming.
Embroidered crepon is among the
handsome novelties for summer
mourning dresses. It's expensive, but
it is very wide.
