FIESTA De Los ANGELES,
Plans Laid for a Monster
Celebration in the
Spring.
All Southern California Cities Will
Be Asked to PartiCi-
pate.&

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 26.-At a
joint meeting of the Chamber of Com
MERGE, Board of Trade, Merchants Asso-
citation, hotel men and agents of transport
tation companies to-day it was unani-
mously decided to hold fiesta in April of
next year.
The meeting was called to order by
President Koepfi of the Merchants Asso-
citation, and Mr.. Lynch, president of the
Hotel Mems Association, first addressed
the chair. He stated in few words that
the National Association of Hotel Men,
with over 600m bers, would leave Chicago
for Southern California April 10. 1896, and
that he was anxious to show them what
Los Angeles could do in the way of cele-
bration; that Santa Barab ara had already
arranged to hold its annual floral festival
on April s, and 10, but out of respect to
to Arril Is, 16 and II, providing Los An
geles would hold its fiesta at later date,
and he was anxious to know exactly what
would be done by Los Angeles, so as to
perfect plans for entertaining the visitors
his association had invited here.
Speeches by Major Calkins, Colonel John
M. Crawley, Major Jones, Dlrector-General
Meyberg, A. Hamburger, Major Klokke
and others followed, enthusiastically
urging the holding of next years fiesta.
It was on motion declared the sense OF
the meeting that the celebration should
not include Los Angeles alone, but should
extend to all the adjoining towns and
cities, so as to take on the character of
Southern California celebration, but that
the fiesta in Los Angeles should be held
the week following the Santa Barbara
floral show, which would be from April
Goth to 25th. In view of the extra labor
entailed in such an undertaking, it was
decided that instead of the Merchants
Association alone handling the project,
which it so successfully carried out in
former years, that the celebration be held
under the joint direction of the Board of
Trade, Chamber of Commerce and Mer-
chants Association.
Max Meyberg, who, as director-general
in previous celebrations made such bril-
liant success, positively declined serving
again, although repeatedly urged SO to do
by the members present.
A joint meeting of the three boards of
trade organizations will be held as soon as
possible, director appointed and prepare
tions made for one of the grandest fiestas
ever beheld in Southern California.

DEL MONTE, CAL, Aug. 26.-To-night
there are little groups of men and women
scattered all about the corridors and hotel

one of the hardest fought matches ever
witnes sed on the coast.
slight scrimmage followed the tossing
in of the ball, which was taken to the
Pinks' goal by Thomas. 1t was then
knocked back by Hinshaw to Baldwin.
who scored goal for the Reds. The ball
having been thrown in again was taken to
the Reds goal by G. A. Baldwin, after a
MaTtln
scored goal for the Pinks. Hobart made
the next goal for the Reds. Then time
was called, leaving the score to at the
end of the first period.
The second period was one of scrimmages
and the progress of the game was slow,
owing to the heaviness of the ground.
The Reds secured a quarter goal, which
made the score ~ to 1. The Pinks next
took the ball, pressed it hard to the Reds
goal and after another very extended
scrimmage finally secured goal, thus
making the score at the end of the second
period 2 to ~, which was very close.
At the first OF the third period the Pinks
claimed a foul through the Reds being off
side. This gave free hit to the Pinks, the
ball being knocked out. 1t was taken
down the field very cleverly by Baldwin.
Time was then called, but playing was con-
tinued, as the ball had to be put behind or
knocked out of play. After hard scrim-
maging at the Reds goal goal was Sc
cured by the Pinks, which made the score: :
Pinks 3, Reds ~.

crack Jockeys and considered one of the
best in America, had his shoulder severely
injured this morning, having been thrown
from Hobart's horse, DR.. Tevis. The
horse which was being schooled at the
time, fell on its knees, throwing its rider
and rolling over him.

This will be possible from the fact that

or landlords is moored in the offing about
two miles from shore the greater portion
OF the time. In this way hope to escape,
to some extent, the miasmatic influence.

"This claim of ours, which we have
secured by a grant from the Colombian
Government, has evidently been mined be-
fore, though not within the recollection of
any OF the natives and then only in a
primitive fashion. Logs were placed in
the water at an angle from the bank down
stream, the soil was washed over them and
the miners reaped their harvest from such
portion of the gold as lodged in the rough
bark. We have an outfit of the latest mining
appliances, including two excellent amalga-
mating machines, and we propose to get
these into operation Immediately"

Wa0on for Another's daughter.
TOLEDO, WASH, Aug. 26.-The unusual
proceeding of man trading his wife off
for the daughter of another man was en-
acted here yesterday, when Isaiah Thomp-
son, who had been in the habit of visit
ing a neighbor named Putdam to see a
baby he had left there when bis wife died,
fell in love with Putnam's wife. When
the husband found out his wife and his
neighbor were in love he talked the matter
over with Thompson in a matter-of-fact
way. He said he was tired of his wife.
Thompson said he had daughter whom
he wished was married. Putnam agreed
to give his wife and feather bed and
spring wagon for Thompson daughter.
Yesterday the deal was made, and Mrs.
Putnam left her home with her belongings,
and is living with Thompson, while
-nompson's daughter has become the wife
of Putnam. All are apparently satisfied
with their portion.

WINDSOR, CAL, Aug. 26.-This city is
experiencing season of unusual activity.
The California Wine Association has COM
pleted an immense addition to its winery,
which will enable it to take care of 5000

being operated and many men given en-
ployment. Peterson Bros. are running
their evaporation full blast, and will this
season send out 1000 boxes of evaporated
fruit. The revival in the wine industry

Neil Mckinley lost his life while at his
post in the wreck of the Great Northern

Fireman Barrett jumped from the cab and
escaped with slight bruises. The accident

him out of the cab and under the wheels

legs above the knees, severing them almost
completely. His left shoulder was also

An attempt to Ship Louis Bolden Back

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Aug. &c.
A sensation in marine circles was caused
here to-day by an expose of an attempt to
abduct from the Marine Hospital negro
sailor named Louis Boiden, who is under
treatment for rotting hands, the result of
maltreatment on the Chilean ship Alta
CANA, recently from Valparaiso. The
sailor recently libeled the vessel for
10000, and the attempted abduction was
evidently for the purpose of preventing
him from testifying.
A hospital attendant refused an offer
of $3.50 to close his eyes while the negro
was carried out and shipped back to Chile.
Arrests will follow.
