A Dangerous Pet.

The skunk reporter, with his nose for news keeuly sniffipg the crisp morning air, scented somewhat pe- culiar item one day this week. Mar shall Ford, the colorcd porter at the Parlor saloon, had for a roommate "Joe," civilized Navajo Indian. Ford was absent from town for a while, and upon his return was hor- rified to find Joe fondling a hydro phobia skunk. The colored man, not having been vaccinated in seven years, immediately procured gun, to "put dat 'phoby skunk whar he wouldn't do no ham," informing Joe that his pet contained enough "wirus" to poi son a whole neighborhood. Joe was 10th to believe this, saying that his pct was perfectly gentle and harmless, and contained DO "wirus," only at times he smelt a little strong; but finding that the neighbors were of the same opinion as Marshal, he finally con- sented to have him killed. Joe had been sharing his frugal fare with the skunk, and it is suspected that the chili con carne and other hot dishes which Joe had been feeding him, had subdued the temper of the odorifer- ous little beast.

Ereeze In California.

Los Angeles. Jan. 9.-Tie long dreaded
freeze came last night with disastrous re-
suits on the orange groves throughout
the citrus belt Of the southern part Of
the state. The mercury fell eight de-
grecs below freezing point. which is one
degree lower than it reached during the
cold snap Of 1891. when it is estimated
that two-thirds of the entire orange crop
OF California was ruined. To-day all
sorts Of runors are in circulation as to
the extent of the freeze Some growers
declared that the loss will be as heavy
as 4 was two years ago. Others, how
ever, took a more hopeful view and ex-
pressed the belief that only quarter O..
a crop had been injured. The lemon
cop has suffered very severely.
