IL Is Reported That the Braves are
Making Ugly Demonstrations.
DURANGO, Col, Nov. 12.-Deputy
Sheriff Joseph Smith and Stanley bay,
son OF Indian Agent David Day, &C
companied by six Indians frem bke
Ute Agency, started to-day fcr the
Canon, near Dolores, where it is re-
ported two Indian braves, Roe-k-New
and Ac-Ca-Witscounsin and sqaaw
have been murdered. Ii is eonjectured
that the murders were committed by
Indians, as no reason for the killing
of the Indians by whites can be as
signed Should the killing be traced
to whites it is thought trouble May
ensue.
The report OF the killing of two
Southera Ute Indians and squaw
near the head of Lost Canon, Col, was
confirmed in dispatches received atthe
Interior Department to-day. Agent
Day telegraphed Indian Commissioner
Browning this afternoon that he ap-
pretended no danger, however, !de--
spite the story that the Utes were
making threatening demonstrations
The farmer at the agency and eight
Indian police have gone to the scene
of the murder, and viii make n thor
ough investigation. The affair took
place one hundred miles away from
the agency, and the investigation par
ty cannot reach there before to-mor-
row night.

TO RAISE MONEY FOR CUBANs.
a Fair TO be Held IN New YOIk by the
Daughters of Cuba.

New York, Nov. 12.-On December
2, there will be opened in Masonic Tenn
pie, a fair, held under the auspices Of
the Daughters of Cuba. The object OF
the fair will be to raise money with
which to aid those who are wounded
while fighting in the cause of Cuban
independence. All of the prominent
Cuban sympathizers in this city are
interested in the affair which will last
"A week and every effort is being made
to realize a good sum for the wounded
patients.
Arrangements are being made for a
mass meeting to be held in this city
the latter part of this month in favor
of the Cubans now fighting for indie
pendence from Spanish rule. The list
of speakers who are all Americans will
be made public within few days and
by next week all arrangements will
have been completed.
A private letter received in this city
to-day states that the Cuban Gen.
Gomez is now near Santa Espiritus
with a large force of men and is
planning a gradual advance on Ha-
yana.
His men are reported to be well arm
of food and ammunition.
Gen. Campos Will not be Recalled.
MADRID, Nov. 12.-The Minister OF
War, Gen. Ascarraga, declares that the
rumors circulated in connection with
the proposed retirement of Capt. Gen.
Martinez de Campos from conducting
operations against the insurgents Of
the Island of Cuba, are entirely with
out foundation. The government has
never for moment considered the
question Of recalling Campos and he
retains the entire confidence of the
Ministry and Queen Regent.
The Minister of Justice, Senior Ro-
nero Beledo, in an interview, express
ed his entire approval Of the military
and political course followed by de
Campos and added that he believed in
spite of the war the liberal reforms for
the Island of Cuba which were approx
ed months ago by the Chamber of
Deputies could and should be vigor-
ously carried out.

sessment on the stock of the Petroleum
Refining Company is accompanied by the
notice of the appointment of a commit
tee to initiate operations as speedily as
possible.
1t is also considered worthy of remark
in these times and The Herald publishes
that four cars of freight, consisting OF
bullion, wool and ore were dispatched to
Wilmington yesterday.
William R. Rowland, then Sheriff OF
the county, advertises that he has in his
possession at Stephens corral certain
horses, describing them, taken from the
Tiburcio Nasquez band of robbers, and
requesting owners to come and prove
property, pay charges and take the stock
away.
Bids are also asked by advertisement
for carrying the mails, by stage, from De-
lano to Los Angeles, from Salinas to Los
Angeles, from Los Angeles to San Diego,
with many route of lesser importance.
R. NJ Widney at this time was District
Judge, but spent his odd moments then
as now in booming the city of Los Ange-
les. On October 23d he writes an article
for The Herald entitled, The Right Place
to Settle. The article is interesting read
ing now, and has almost the odor OF
prophecy about it. By the way, one of
the things of which the writer is most
proud while publishing The Herald is
the production of a map, by the aid
and assistance of Judge Widney, which
was for many weeks published in The
Herald, and gave the railroad map of the
future Southern California. When the
line from Los Angeles to Salt Lake is
complete as it will be in the near future,
the map would be perfect for the purpose
for which it was made. If among the
old relics of The Herald office, this map
could be dug up, it. would be interesting
to see it re-published with the light OF
twenty-five years thrown upon it. The
result has more than realized the
prophecy which occasoned its publca-
ton.
The writer published The Herald for six
months, and then compelled by financial
necessity arising largely it is probable,
from his lack of experience in business
affairs, sold out to corporation in which
]. S. Thompson. F. P. F. Temple, Little
Potts. Orchardist Gary and others were
the leading spirits. Then ]. M. Bassett

wish of its founder, G. A. Storke.

then had just come fresh from the univer-
sity, and had had little experience in the
management of affairs. He was by trade
a printer, and after graduation his mind
naturally turned to journalism as field
for his labors.
Los Angeles at this time was a small
city of less than 5000 inhabitants, and
these made up of recent importations
from the Eastern States engrafted upon
the Spanish Mexican population that
founded the City of the Angels. The
main business portion of the city was
then centered around the intersection of
Main and Commercial streets; but bust
ness had just begun to take turn down
Spring street, so that there vera few
business houses opposite the Temple
Block on Spring street, The Pico House,
kept by Knowlton, man who had gone
through the Confederacy during the war,
and had an honorable career as q Confed-
crate soldier The Bella Union, kept by
Staples & Ustick, were the two leading
hotels, with the United States, then a
low two-story building as second-rate
hotel
The only railroad running into the city
was the Los Angeles and San Pedro Rail-
road, now the Wilmington branch of the
Southern Pacific; bit work had just COM
menced upon the extension north and
east of the Southern Pacific, but there
was still gap on the north from Delano
to Los Angeles, and the grading had not
yet reached beyond the city limits to the
east. Colonel Hewitt was courteous and
generous superintendent of so much of
the railroad as existed.
The first home OF The Herald was in
building that has since been remodeled,
and was located on Spring street, nearly
opposite the old Court House and the
Temple Block. The building belonged to
i. p. F. Temple, and was one-story
building OF very modest pretensons.
Temple at that time was a financial
power in the city, and divided money
supremacy with l. W. Hellman, who was
the cashier of the Farmers and Merchants
Bank. Between these two there was
great rivalry; but the unsophistcated and
generous Temple was no match in
financial contest with the shrewd care
full business-like Holman. The proprietor
of The Herald had bought for the paper a
cylinder press, Taylor make, and Baxter
three-horsepower engine, and The Her
aid was the first paper printed by steam
in Southern California. To be sure, the
press now would be considered very
common affair, and the motor was a
pigmy compared with what is now found
in the country; but then it was nine

| journalistic success was due entirely to
his ability to balance himself on top of the
political fence on all dangerous occasions,
and the Express, an evening paper owned
by Tiffany Il Painter, two printers, and
edited by j. ]. Ayers, who was then a
man of marked ability, but chatting I'M
der the bonds of his narrow field
The paper in politics, like its editor,
was liberal and independent Democratic.
Looking back upon its pages, one might
say that it was more liberal than Demo-
cratic. 1t cared little for the traditions of
politics or of party, but dealt with pres
ent issues rather than past memories. 1t
was anti-monopoly and anti-ring always,
and invariably stood by the man who pro-
duced by the sweat of his brow rather
than by him who enjoyed the produce of
the sweat of other mems brows.
Los Angeles at this time was strongly
Democratic in politics, so much so that it
was useless for the Republican party to
! max nominations for either city or
county nominations, which they rarely
did. The Spanish-speaking population
controlled elections, and when Ignacio
Sepulveda ran against Andrew Glassell
1873, Sepulveda received 1888 votes in the
, city to his opponents $50, although his
opponent was far and away the best law
yer.

Tho Editor Was Going to Quit and Carry OF
All the Copy With Him.
To the Editor of The Hearald:
You requested me to state the history
of The Herald during the time was con-
nected with it.
At the close of Mr.. Storke's administra-
ton The Herald came into the control OF
the company refered to below.
We incorporated under the laws of the
state of California as the Los Angeles City
and County Publishing Company with
a capital stock $4,000, divided into 1900
shares of $100 each. The articles of incor-
poration were duly filed with the County
Clerk on the 18th day of February, 1874.
Tho directors were F. P. f. Temple, J

| We decided to run local paper and to
write up and publish to the world the re-
sources and future possibilities OF Los
Angeles county and Southern California,
and so instructed our editor. This he re-
fused to do and insisted on filling the pa
per with clippings about the outside world.
As Los Angeles people read these articles
in the original papers they were not inter-

they should come here and invest and de-
velop the resources and industries Of this
region.

management he would quit some evening.

up. called meeting of the board and
laid the matter before them, and said it
would never pay us to put money in a
newspaper to have it write up all the out
side world and say nothing about our own
inducements.
The question being discussed as to what
we should do, the fear was expressed that
the editor would quit and tie us up.
l said that if he did so 1 would edit the
paper until we secured such person as
Me wished. The board at once ordered
that the paper be edited as we had re-
quested. The editor was notified OF the
policy that must be carried out. That
evening about o'clock the foreman came
into my office and said the editor had

In those days Madam Anna Bishop was

that ever gathered together in Los An

ball as reporter. The Herald owed its
birth to prophetic instinct of its proprie-
tor that Los Angeles was destined to be
city of no mean importance, and that
paper maintained in the interests of the
people would receive their earnest sup
port and assistance. He was younger in
those days than now, and has since
learned that the public has little if any
gratitude, and often snaps at the hand
that has borne fayors untold. The editor

the city came to see a paper printed in
the city of Los Angeles by steam. Crude
as the plant was, it was far and away
ahead OF anything that had before been
seen in the city.

the journalistic field at that time were

prosperity, yet the bright rays of success
must penetrate and light and activity re-
place the obscurity and dullness.
