FIRE In THE MOUNTAINS.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Oct. 6, 1896
A furious fire is sweeping the Santa Ynez
Mountain range in the vicinity of Ell
Captain and beyond Dos Pueblos. AS
many ranches dwell in that vicinity,
some anxiety is felt for the little farms
perched far up in canons and gulches.
PASADENA, Cal, Oct. 6, 1ss6.-Two de-
structive fires are devastating the west
ern range of the Sierra Madre mountains
on each side of Tejunga. A strip of
valuable timber }and % miles long and
from one to three miles wide, has been
laid waste, and the fires are still sweep
ing northwest and threatening the de-
struction of a vast area of forest. The
district is thinly populated, and the set
tiers have had ample warning. TIL dam
age to ranch property has been trifiing
thus far, and It is hoped that the fires
will be subdued before they reach the
more tthickly settled portion of Los An
geles county, to the northward.

KATE'S ARGUMENTS.
Mistah Jackson Wants to Be
Free From His Very
Lively Wife.

Charles Jackson, who runs a saloon at
No. As Montgomery street, p~atronized by
colored gentlemen of a sporty turn, is in
a peck of trouble and this morning filed
a petition in the Court of Chancery be-
seeching Chancellor MeGin to make him
a single man once more. There is, of
course, a woman at the bottom of his
troubles and that lady is his ain wife
Kate"
Mr.. Jackson is a handsome man and
very much admired by the dusky bellies
who frequent Montgomery street. To one
of these on the tw~enty-sixth day of Mo-
vember, 1893. he was married. The we'd

the rooms over the store, she came in,
threw a goblet at him, hid his clothes and
hat, broke the glassware and mirrors into
smithereens, and ended, he says. by kick

doors.
Mr.. Jackson Is a peaceable man and
this breezy style of domestic argument
threw him into such a state that the at
fractions of his saloon no longer interested
him and he at once hied to Counsellor
Jarvis N. Atkinson and requested him to
