After this rather formal reply, that
proved not as assuring as was expected,
the representatives of La Fiesta invited
the Chinese merchants to their head
quarters some day next week to partake
of their hospitalities The Chinese mer-

1t is possible that the Fiesta will have

NO MIND OF THEIR OWN
Two Unfortunates Committed to Charitable
State Institutions


May f. Gardner feeble minded girl,
was examined before Judge Mckinley and
committed to the California Home of
Feeble Minded Children at Glen Ellen.
George Staff, 35 years old, married, was
adiudged insane yesterday and committed
to Highlands by Judge Clark. Staff, who
for five years has been in the employ of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe as
section foreman, became suddenly insane
about three weeks ago, and from very
bright man lapsed into a condition of i'm
becility. He was directed by his supe
rior, at the time of the washouts which
caused considerable damage on his Sec
tion, near Encinitas, San Diego county,
to prepare an estimate of the repairs that
would be needed. 1t seems that he found
it impossible to accomplish the task, and
from the excitement which followed he
went to pieces all at once, became violent
and had to be put under restraint. He
escaped from the railroad hospital in this
city, wandering about the streets until
arrested. He believes that he was his
with a sandbag on Friday while he wat
in the padded cell in the county jail. His
memory has grown so bad that it took
him long time before he could recollect
that his wife's name is Molly.

Emmett c. Bryant Exonerated for the
Killing of W. A. Majors

An inquest was held yesterday morning
by Coroner Campbell over the body of w.
A. Majors, the colored expressman who
was shot by Emmett c. Bryant in the
Arcade depot last Thursday evening The
inquest was conducted by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Willis, who, at its conclu-
sion, wrote out an order on Chief Glass to
hberate Bryant on the grounds that the
shooting was done in self defense. He
also stated that the District Attorneys
office would take no further action in the
matter. The verdict of the jury agreed
with Assistant District Attorney Willis
decision, that the defendant was acting
in self defense.
Bryant was seen at the Arcade depot
yesterday afternoon, and it is doubtful il

WANTS THE BILL EXHUMED
Health Officer Steddom Seeks Legislative Aid
and Support

DR.. Steddom, the city's health officer, is
energetic. He has undertaken to better
the sanitary condition of Los Angeles,
and he means to do it if he has to get the
State Legislature to help him.
On February II, 1893, Senator Mathews
introduced bill which empowered the
council of city to order the removal of
stagnant water or putrid or offensive
matter of any kind from private prop
erty, and in case the owner of the
property refused to do SO, the council
might let the work to the lowest bidder
and charge the cost as a lien against the
property.
The bill passed the Senate and went
through two readings in the Assembly.
and then was lost sight of in some way or
other
Yesterday Health Officer StedGom wrote
to Assemblyman Bulla asking him to ex-
hume the bill and revive it in the House,
and to see that it passes and becomes a
law. The doctor thinks he can use it in
his business to good advantage.
