San Diego Visitors

The Forty Fun Makers" of che City
Guard Band mnserels almost overbal-
anced the other end of tho auditorium at
the:opcra house last night. The crowd
was small, mighty small, and the San Di-
ego visitors must attribute it entirely to
the fac. that 300 or 400 Of the people who
otherwise might have been in attendance
are now at San Diego and other watering
places scattered along the coast, or else
camping in the mountains. The pro-
gramme rendered. aside from its extrem G
length was entertaining, and was put
through without any long waits or de-
lays, quite as we'll as would shave been
done by professionals. But the band is

note, saying Mr.. Shirley had sent him
for the purpose of getting the check
cashed. Tho signature on the back of the
check and the note were in the same
handwriting, and as Shirley is custo-
mer of the market, the proprietor thought
nothing strange of the request. and al
though he did not know the boy who pre-
sented the check, he gave him the 500,
coin of the realm, and the boy disap-
peared and has not since been seen.
Presumably the same game was played
at joseph Marks grocery. A boy came
in with similar check, save names and
signatures. and received 500 for the
check. This boy has beer found. His
name Is Skinner, and he resides with his
parents in this city. He says he met a
stranger on the street. who asked him to
take the message into the store. and that
he gave the 800 to the stranger, receiving
20 cents for his work. He says he did
not go to Oehl's market.

tension will give transportation facilities
to a number of excellent silver and gold
mines, which for two years have been
waiting for the railroad TO carry their
mountains of ore to the smelter.
The extension will touch two large
water supplies, which is a very Important
consideration. 1t will also open up the
Los Vegas valley, the finest cattle region
in Southern Nevada.
Mr. Woodbury. has no intention or ex-
tending the line INTO Utah-none for the
present or future. He is satisfied with
the prospective traffic from the mines
which the extension will touch. The
present road from Blake to Marvel
distance of thirty miles. earns litt!e
more than operating expenses with one

support. The proposed extension will
have dozen or more camps equal to
Vanderbilt, to serve with transportation
facilities.

lowing in the footsteps of some of his
white brethren, when he made friendly
call upon his heighbor's wife during the
absence of her lord and master. This is
the version of Henry Washington, the
suave and affable colored gentleman who
entertains very considerable number OF
hearers in the course of day, and Incl
oentally blacks their boots for consider
alton. After hearing the other side Of
the case it is feared that our readers
might conceive prejudice against the
hero OF this little tale, hence it as
thought best to give his version the ad-
vantage of being first heard. Charles
Taylor is colored man we'll known about
town, and 1t was at his house on Made
line drive, near Colum bia street. that the
battle .royae occurred, and his wife as
the center, evidently, about which it
ragged. The marshal fastened to th g
scene, taking the precaution to pick up
Officer Brebe on the W ay, and found the
household looking as if a cyclone had
struck it, with only Mrs. Taylor in sight.
Mr.. Taylor was soon found, however,
somewhat the worse for wear, and he re-
lated his story about as follows:
He returned to his house rather unex-
pectedly, having intended to remain IN
Los Angeles, and upon approaching the
domicIle heard man S voice inside and
listening for moment, concluded he had
better investigate. This he proceeded to
do by mounting box and peeping over
q transom and, to make long story
shore. he saw enough to convince him
that somebody neeed a thrasning and he
was the very man elected to do the Job
up brown. In short he was enraged and
lost no time in reaching Mr.. Henry
Washington, armed with u club and u
knife. The club evidently did some
effective WORK, but the knife seems to
have missed the hide of the caller. Tay-
Tor says that Washington threw the lamp
at his head, and, of course, the latter
gentleman politely denies the allegation.
A warrant is ont 70, Washington, but
has not yet been served. and meanwhile
he is in bllssful ignorance OF the further
trials that await him.
