Brains.
A horrible affair took place in the little
town of Montgomery Sunday. The chill
dren of Marshall Myott, who lives in the
southwest corner of the town near Moffat's
mill, were playing "bear." The boy, aged
TO- was the hunter, and the little girl of
five years was the bear. The boy pointed
the gun at his sister without knowing it
was loaded" and it was discharged, blowing
her brains out and killing her instantly.
The father says they had been allowed to
play with the gun, and he takes all the
blame upon himself, as he had loaded the
gun with heavy charge, unknown to the
boy, for a bear which he thought was lurk-
ing in the sugar place near the house.

law. A petition bearing the signatures of
nearly all the active business men of the

The three-years-old daughter of John
Coll, living on the Chesterfield road, mar
rowly escaped serious accident last Mon
day. Mr.. Coll was at work with moving
machine in field of oats, when the little
one appeared climbing over a stone wall
into the field. He told her to stay upon
the wall and continued around the field
thinking no more about her. In the
meantime she had gone into the tall oats
which concealed her, and before Mr.. Col
was aware the cutter bar of the machine
struck her, inhcting two wounds on the
right foot, completely disjointing the bis
toe. A doctor was quickly summoned t.
dress the wounds and it is expected the
toe can be saved. Mr.. Coll, upon hearing
her cries, quickly stopped his team, other
wise the injuries would doubtless havt
been more serious.

Los ANGELES FIESTA.
Great Preparations for the Carnival In
the southern California City.

Great Preparations for the Carnival In
the Southern California City.
Los ANGELES, April 1.-THE opening
event of the second annual celebration OF
La Fiesta de Los Angeles takes place in
this city tomorrow. 1t is expected that
the event will attract so, 900 visitors, ana
already the hotels, public houses and
many private houses are filled to over
flowing with people who are gathered
from all parts of the country.
The entire city is to be given up to this
revel. No business will be done except
pertaining to the festival and that abso-
lutely necessary, and the whole popula-
tion of the city will devote the week of
the carnival TO the enjoyment of the
splendid pleasures prepared and the en-
tertainment of the city's thousands of
guests.
A novel feature of the fiesta already
very noticeable is the lavish street dec
Oration. 1t is seldom that city is SO
completely transformed from its every
day appearance into such veritabIe
bower of beauty in so short a time.
Merchants and property-owners along
the line of march which the parade will
follow and all the principal streets have
buried their buildings beneath masses of
bunting. Flags are flying from every
post and are draped on every pillar. The
city is sea of color, in which the colors
of La Fiesta-the yellow for the orange,
the green for the olive aud the red for the
wine-predOminate.
Beside the decoration of the buildings
by private individuals, the Merchants
Association, under whose auspices the
festival is given, has appointed a Com
mit:ee on Street Decoration, and its work
is very much in evidence. Along the
principal streets the telegraph and electric
poles and street signs have been orna-
mented with fan palms and ornaments
III such way as to give the streets in
any direction the appearance of long,
palm-bordered avenues, and the effect is
magical and truly artistic. Across the
street streamers float from suspended
wires in lavish profusion.
Inhabitants and the thousands of visit
Itors wear Fiesta badges bearing the car
nival colors, and the craze does not stop
at this, but neckties, hat-bands, shoe
strings, parasols and shirt fronts even,
are yellow and green.
The installation of the carnival govern
ment, when the great golden key of the
city is turned over by the Mayor to the
officials of La Fiesta, takes place IN an
immense building.

Fiesta, Mrs. Modini- Wood, a native

SIOUX City Iowa, April 14.-Great
excitement has been caused here by the
belief among the property-holders that
the titles to all the property in the busi-
ness part of the city are detective Ac-
cording to the records. the original plat is
situated in section Is, while in reality
the town is in section Is. All the de-
scriptions in the deeds of the property are
consequently worthless. The trouble is
further complicated by the failure OF
Henry Aldren. the founder of the town,
to sign the plat, and the omission of tn e
Surveyor who laid out the place to sur
vey it to correspond with the Govern
ment survey. There is talk of an effort
by the original owners to force all the
present occupants OF the property to va
cate. An interesting litigation is in pros
