HARD HIT.
The Times is evidently feeling very
sore over the way it is failing the pro-
cession in this city, which it has so long
considered its own personal property,
with mo trespaaaing" sign at the gate.
In this mornings edition the local CORE.
spondent says:
THE attsmpt Of certain Pasadena
citizen of well-known ansrchistic views
and often declared hostility to the law,
to organize boycott against the Times
here was abortiye, though the effort WAS
ably assisted by local agents OF another
Los Angeles paper. The citizens of
Pasadena cannot be misled by one whose
antipathy to the law is SO well known
and who might be an avowed anarchist
but for the fact that he aspires to be
capitalist. The young men who carry
and sell the Times, because they make
money for themselves by 80 doing. could
not be fooled into working against their
own interest, and they sensibly gave
the laugh to the would-be boycotter.
The Times still leads in Paeadens."
The above is certainly en- amusing
| combination and shows to what ex-
tremities the paper has been driven by
loss of subscribers and street sales.
If the Times man has really discovered
such dangerous individual in our COM
munity he should by all means point
him out to the gaping crowds and not
allow his identity to be lost through any
false modesty. Meanwhile the HERALD
continues to add to its subscription list
ct rapid rate, and the war goes On.

WAS not fast enough in his movements
to suit the highwayman, who proceeded
to fire, according to the Chinaman's 8
story. The ball struck his leg above
the knee. inficting serious wound and
