dissension, amounting TO violence, destruc-
fiOn of life and property and defiance OF the
laws. exists throughout large portion of the
United States. and dlsloyaliy is rampant and
presents an intimidating front IN too many
quarters; and whereas, the causes OF these
dlsseDSlons should not and cannot have their
merits considered by consti uted authorities
until the SUPP emacy of the Government is recog-
nized and established; and whereas, 1t Is spe.
clally the duty Of those who fought to sustain
the Government in the Civil War to stand firm
in its defense to-day; and whereas, a renewed
declaration of the loyalty of the Grand Army of
the Republic Is most proper at this crisis in the

Investigation into the accidental shoot
ing of lady near East Los Angeles was
made to-day. 1t appears that Deputy
Marshal was handling his revolver while
the train was passing the lsdy's house and
one chamber went off. Snguiary enough,
the spent bullet struck the unsusDecttng
woman on the forehead, though fOrtu-
nately in an obique direction, which alone
saved her life.
Some distance out of town the strikers
and deputies exchanged shots about mid
night, but nobody was hit. Only two
shots were fred in a desultory way as
there was no riot nor disturbance of any
kind and the train was moving slowly at
the time.
