were ambushcd by an attacking party Of

then a battle OF thirty minutes took place
Fitzwatcr received a flesh wound in the

The officers stood their ground and gave
the last shot.
1t is reported here tonight that three

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
A desperate nght with firearms occurred
at an early hour this morning on kunnett

six miles east OF here, between moon
sinners in ambush and party Of reVe-
nue. officers. consisting Of Deputy Collec-
tor #. l.. Fcltz and Deputy Marshals

Deputy Fltzwater received "a painful gun
shot wound i'm the right arm and his horse
was shot in nine distinct places.
Deputy Wilson's horse received SIX
wounds and Deputy Bingham one. 80
far as known these are the only casual
ties. though the officers are confident
that some of the attacking party were
injured
The belief seems to be borne out by the
fact that messenger from the locality
in question arrived here early this morn
ing IN quest of doctor.
IL is said the night lasted half an hour,
and that about five hundred shots were
exchanged.
Deputy Collector Fcltz thinks the at

REPORTS FROM THE EAST.
How Matters and Things Are Running
in Ohio and Indiana.

The following is taken from the New
Albany, Ind, Daily Ledger, and it shows
how things are in Ohio and Indiana:
The Ledger is in receipt of the follow
ing letter from Mr.. L. l.. Newerf of Los
Angeles, Cal, manager of the Southern
California Land and Nursery company:
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. ., 1896.
Editor New Albany, Ind, Ledger: In
this mornings Los Angeles Herald the
Ledger Is reported as saying that thirty
eight of the forty-two members OF the
Union Veterans league of Canton, o.,
Mr. McKinley's home, are for Bryan.
inclose the clipping. I am personally
silver Republican and strong for Mr..
Bryan and free silver We recently or
ganized here a Republican Silver club,
with 1900 names to start with. and sent
Mr.. Bryan greeting while at Columbus,
Ohio. Now, l desire to get at the truth
of the above report and If 1t is SO there
is cause for great rejoicing and encour-
agement that the people of the United
States are to resume business at the old
stand under the provisions of the Con-
stitution.
1t is high time for the common people
to wake out of sleep and look to the de-
fense of the institutions founded by our
illustrious patriots. There is cause 1or
the revival of the spirit of rs, and nope
the storm of silver ballots in November
will overwhelm plutocracy in all its
ramifications; as when once the wedge
of silver reform has entered the log of
oppression and monopoly there will be
room for other and necessary reforms to
quickly follow desire this information
to show the hidebound Mckinley men.
We expect to enroll at least 5000 names
on our silver Republican club list be-
fore the end of the campaign.
L. L. NEWERF.
The Ledger assures Mr. Newerf that
the statement published about the
Union Veteran league of Canton, Ohio,
is true to the letter. The legion went to
the Bryan demonstration at Cleveland
and was given the post of honor as es-
cort of Mr. Bryan in the immense pro
cession of the marching clubs on that
occasion.

THE SECOND WARD AND FREE
COINAGE

There was a fine meeting last night
of the people of the Second ward at the
corner of Bellevue avenue and Montreal
street to hear Colonel Messmore, Frank
Scheidler. j. G. Maccabe and others
discuss the issues of the present cam
paign. These gentlemen, with interest
ing facts and statistics, entertained the
audience, which, by the way, was COM
posed of solid citizens, together with a
fair proportion of fair ladies', of all par
ties, and made a telling impression IN
behalf of the restoration of the stand
ard silver dollar to it's constitutional
place in the currency of the United
States, the election of Bryan and of the
allied county ticket. The applause was
frequent and most hearty and indicated
the earnestness with which the people
of the Second ward are considering the
causes of the chronic hard times and
their desire to find way in which the
grinding process" and tyranny of the
single gold standard may forever cease
and the music of the double standard
of the silver dollar as well as the gold
dollar-once more gladden. the hearts of
all who work for living.

READ OUT.
Silver Republicans Are Officially and
Summarily Fired Out of the Party.

The Silver Republicans are red hot.
They have been officially read out of the
Republican party by Bradner w. Lee
and the Los Angeles Times and the re-
suit is going to be disastrous to the Re-
publican county ticket and will only
have the effect of causing Silver Re-
publicans to exert themselves all the
harder
From the standpoint of a disinterested
on-looker it would appear that this step
of Mr.. Lee and his associates can be
properly characterized as assinine Here
were 2300 Republicans who had simply
announced that for the silver principle
they would not support Mckinley, Nc
Lachlan or their party nominees for the
legislature. They did not intend to go
any further and now comes the Repub
lican county committee and says they
are outside of the party altogether and
their support is not desired by any Re
publican candidate sst
The Silver Republicans Will undoubt-
edly do as Mr.. Lee has told them to in
this matter. They will not support any
Republican nominees and the result will
be the certain election Of the entire
fusion ticket.
This evening the Silver Republicans

gates for the precincts in their ward.
A committee of five was appointed by
the chairman, on motion to confer with
a like committee from the Democratic
city committee, to agree upon plan of
fusion. The Populist committee is as
follows Messrs. Moore. Blakely, Sew
erance, Hamilton and Wolf.

FOR BETTER CITY GOVERNMENT
A Club Organized in the First Ward.

About 200 citizens of East Los Angeles
assembled in the wigwam at the corner

ment expounded by Messrs HI. w.
O'Melveny, NJ. l.. Graft and George

of the First Ward Better City Govern
ment club, presided and introduced the
speakers, who were attentively listened
to. There was not much display of en-
thusiasm, but at the close of the meet
ing many of those present embraced
the opportunity to join the league or
the ward club. Secretary ]. V. WacHtel
of the First ward club reports every
thing in good working order and the
membership rapidly increasing. The
club will hereafter meet every Tuesday
evening at knights of Pythias hall.

FOUND TROUBLE IN CHINATOWN.

A we'll dressed man was booked at the
police station at 9:15 last evening under
the alias of Fred Jones and charge of
disturbing the peace placed against his
name. Officer Phillips arrested him in
Chinatown, where he had a difficulty
with heather named All Fat, who runs
an opium joint. The Chinanan claimed
that Jones came in and wanted to smoke
which was refused him. At this he be-
came angry and knocked the celestial
down. Before the row had progressed
very far the policeman arrived and
stopped the fun. Jones was later bailed
out by friend.

NOT YET IDENTIFIED.

No one has as yet appeared who can
throw any light on the identity of the
mysterious stranger who lies in. the re-
ceiving hospital with a bullet in his
brain. The victim was picked up on
Sunday afternoon in Elysian park lying
unconscious with the revolver with
which the deed was committed lying
under his body, where it had fallen from
his nerveless hand. The would-be sui
eide is still unconscious and cannot
speak word. If he does not die before
today it is probable that DR.. Bryant will
perform an operation in an attempt to
relieve him.

hall, 31S West Second street. The speak
ers will be w. r. Burbank and General
Johnstone Jones. A letter will be read
from Mr.. Bryan which the club has re-
ceived. Also reports and letters which
the club and its members have received
from the east.
Wednesday evening there will be an
overflow meeting at the Silver Republic

pie can be accommodated. There will be
