SAN BERNARDINO. Sept. 2.-There
has been big shake-up in the Colum bia
Colonization company. which has the
Victor dam enterpris in hand, and Gem
eral.O. o, Howard and his brother of les
ser fame are both out of the company
and have severed all connection with it,.
1t has been known in this city for som Q
time that there was !some such thing
pending. or at any rate that somebody
was creating ruction. but what was to
De the ultimate result was something
which could not be learned.
What the causes of the shaks-up may
be and what effect it will have Upon the
company does not appear. but it is more
than half suspected that General o. O..
Howard s name was given in lieu of a
cash subscription to the stock, but that
1t did not have the desired effect in the
way of inducing other capitalists to rush
into the scheme. Among those who are
still bearing the burdens of the com pany
are Messrs. Foster. .Sweet and saveral 9th
er Chicago and eastern capitalists whose
names are yet identified with the enter
prise. Mr.. Sweet was in this CITY yester-
DAY and gave it ont that without doubt
the newly organized company will pro-
coed at once and that the actual work of
digging bitches and putting in the divert
ing dam would be commenced before WIN
ter and work prosecuted vigorously.

Frank Cole constitute trio of hunters
for whom deer hunting has no further
charms. They we're hunting in Little
Bear valley last week. and had started to-
ward Big Bear with their rifles. Half a
mile up the first canyon they cspied a
deer on the opposite side, 200 yards away.
All three fired simultaneously and had
the qualification of seeing the animal fall
and roll down the side of the mountai

each claimed to have given his deership

OF the valley. who happened along at THIS

went along with them to secure the deer.
A change came over the spirits of the
entire party when after tramp through
the brush they discovered the deer to be

$23 which was very low valuation on
the beifsr. Each of the hunters insisted
