HORSE CARS WILL SOON GO
Rumored Contamination OF a Big Street
Railway Deal
The naln Street Line Said to Have Bee N
Purchased by the Traction COM
pany-Transfers Issued

It is believed that deal is about to be
consummated, if. indeed. the main fea
lures have not already been agreed upon,
by which the Los Angeles Traction Elec-
trio company has purchased the Main
Street ana Agricultural Park horse line,
and that the work of electricizing the
latter road will be commenced as soon as
the final details are arranged and the
transfer made. Color is given this belief
from the fact that the Traction company
and the horse line ommenced issuing
transfers over their respective roads
Wednesday morning, showing that some
sort of an understanding has been
reached. Should rhis purchase be made,
or a combination effected, the new cleo
trio road wonld secure an entrance into
the business center, as vol as get to the
Arcade depot By way of the Fifth street
two-horse line. The capital stock of the
Main street line is only 5000. 900, divided
into 1000 shares, of which a majority is
controlled by William j. Brodriok. 1t is
not believed that there is any bonded in
debtedness. The Messrs. Hook have am
pie capital at their command to purchase
the road outright at anything like rea-
sonable figure, and as they are in the rail-
road business in Los Angeles to stay. it is
fair to assume that they will take adj
vantage of this opportunity to add to
their system, and put it on money
making basis at once.
A Herald reporter called at Mr.. Brod-
rick's office yesterday afternoon. but that
gentleman being absent in San Bernar-
dino. could not be seen. The secretary
of the Main Street company was seen,
however. That gentleman said that, as
far as he knew. no sale had been made,
nor could he positively state that nego-
tIations have been entered into with
that end in view. If anything of that
sort was going on, he kr ew nothing about
it. AS 10 the issuance of transfers. that
was purely business matter. The new
electric road wanted to get to the Arcade
depot, from which they were cut out.
while his company wanted to get to the
Santa Fe depot, and bv transfers each
company got what it wanted.
This was all he knew: it was for the
mutual interest of the two companies to
transfer, and they did SO; this was all
he knew about 1t.
Notwithstanding the secretarys de-
NAL, gentleman who is in position
to know states positively that negot ia
tons are in progress, and may be con-
cluded at any time. Neither the Messrs.
Hook nor MIR. Brodrick do business
with brass band accompaniment, and

mend thai the same be adopted and

directed to advertise for proposals for
the erection of the same; bids to be re-
ceived up to II O'Clock a m. of Wednes-
day, October I'd, 1895.
Recommend the city clerk be instructed
to notify all parties whose proposals have

and sufficient title to the property SO &C
cepted, that good ana sufficient title
must he furnished to the city on or be-
fore the twenty-third day of September
1895, at 2 clock, p. m.
Councilman Savage favored the amend
ing Ct the first section of the report, to
let the plumbing IN the buildings sep
arate from tho other work. The amend
ment was, after some considerable dis
cussion, lost.
Savage's claim was that if the plumb.
Ing was done separately, money could be
saved by the city. Chairman Mnuson
of the building committee said that he
had been approached to favor letting the
plumbing separately, and the printing
separately, and the brick work supply
upon the proposed buildings, and he was
not in favor OF separating the various
contracts because he wanted to simplify
matters.
The second section OF the report was
then also adopted.
The city attorney presented an ordi-
nance widening Second streetand the
same was adopted under a suspension
of the rules, as were also the ordinances
regulating the laying of sidewalks, APP
pointing commissioners of Bloom and
Los Angeles streets.
The city engineer presented a map

On motion of Councilman Pessell, the
deed of Order e. Dow for the property
in the Briswalter tract, recently accepted
by the city az school site in the Sixth
ward, was ordered recorded, only upon
an agreement that the $250O purchase
price will be kept in escrow until the
suit pending in the matter of the owner
shio of the property has been settled.
The council then adjourned.

JAMES CRONTN HELD UP
He Now Thinks That Friend
Stood In
The Story of a Chance Acquaintance, a Dark
Path and Revolver With
Tan Behind 1t

J. H. Mckenzie is locked in tho police
station with a charge of grand larceny
against him. He was arrested by Detec-
tive Biadish and the complaint was
sworn to by James Cronin.
Cronin says that last Monday night he
was in Dan Moriarty's saloon. where he
met McKen zie. The latter claimed to be
a friend and made himself very agreeable
while the money of Cronin lasted.
Finally Mckenzie suggested that they go
for ride, and as amiability is Cronin s
most noticeable characteristic. he i'm
medlately assented. They took the car
and rode to Pico Heights and went into
saloon, where Cronin had gold piece
changed.
Trey then sauntered out to en- Joy the
cooling breezes of that section. Either
to 60 away by him self and think. but at
all events the new found friend Of Cronia
began to lag behind and by the time
very dark place was reached he had dis
appeared altogether. Cronin sauntered
on, however and had gone only short
distance when man sprang from the
shadow of some trees and. pointing a
revolver at his head. commanded him
to throw up his hards. AS. Mr.. Cronin
is peaceable, law-abiding citizen, he
complied. The highwayman went
through Cronin's clothes and left him
nothing but the empty pockets and the
experience of having been well held up
and cleaned out completely.
Cronin quickened his footsteps and
located the arv-footed Mckenzie about
thirty yards in the rear of where he had
met the highwayman. 10 his new found
friend did Cronin relate with suitable
establishment the story of his hair
breadth escape from the robber. McKen-
zie pulled pistol from his pocket and
foufished it around in most feroclous
manner, saying he would like to see the
man who could hold him up. Cronin
was not looking for any more trouble at
that moment, so he did not offer to &C.
commodate his valiant friend, and after
a short talk they returned 10 the city,
Cronin without SIS, his watch and some
other things, and Mckenzie in fighting
humor and DESTROYS of locating man
who wanted to die instantly.
The two soon separated, but when
Cronin thought the matter over it i'm
all of the humor of the occurrence. he
swore to the complaint. and now Nc.
Kenzie can laugh, too, in his cell.
Mr.. Cronin thinks that Mckenzie
'stood i'm on the deal and that the
highwayman was his pal.
Yesterday Cronin went into the cell
where Mckenzie is con fined and identi-
fed him positively. In the evening Nc
Kenzie was examined by the detectives
and confessed that he had held up and
robbed Cronin. At the time of The affair
Cronin had been drinking and did not
know exactly what had happened. Nc
kenzie, it appears, ran around ahead OF
Cronin when he left him, and enacted
the role of the highwayman himself.

From the well the oil is conducted to

Fighting the Thistle,

Western farmers find that individual
attempts at fighting the Russian thistle
avail nothing, because the plague grows
again faster than the individual farmer
can find time to hoe it down, so they
all unite as often as convenient, to
have 'hoeing bees" in designated To-
c~alities. The details of operations are
settled by the town councils, every N
in the neighborhood takes a day off to
fight thistles. and in this way it is pos.

against the ~perSevering plague and to
keep some sections fairly free for other
