WEATHER AND CROPS.
Southern California Conditions Promise
Prosperous Year.

Following is the United States de-
crop bulletin of the weather bureau for
ing Nov. 2, 1896:
Special reports from correspondents
of the climate and crop bulletins of
Southern California in reference to the
rain which fell the first of the week
shows that it was unusually heavy for
the month Of October in all sections, and
while the precipitation was excessive
for the month, yet in a number of places
the soil was packed SO hard from the
long dry season that the rain was not
sufficient to wet the ground deep
enough for plowing. Generally the rain
was heavy enough to penetrate the soil
to depth sufficient to wet the ground
to a depth sufficient to start plows going
and make possible the commencement
of farm work besides starting grass to
grow, which at the close of the week
was beginning TO show green blades
above the ground The rains stopped all
irrigation and generally put the soil
in good condition for blowing and Gull
tivating. A noticeable feature connect
ed with the rain was the unusual sight
at this season of the year of the dry
water courses and arroyos carrying
large volumes of water. which was laden
with ashes from the burned mountain
districts.
VENTURA COUNTY.
Bardsdale-Rain fell on the 26th to
the deth of one and one-fourth inches,
much of it falling suddenly. Orchards
were benefited, but not enough fell to
start forage or wet the ground deep
enough for blowing. The weather is
now cool, clear and windy.
West Saticoy-The rainfall was 81 of
an inch, and was heavier than usual for
the time Of the year, but was hardly
sufficient to begin general farm weork,
because of the lack of seasonable rains.
which caused the ground to be harder
than usual.
LOS ANGELES COUNTY.
Los Angeles city-The rain which be-
gan on the evening of the 26th contin-
ued until the early morning of the 9th.
during which time over an inch of water

heaviest rainfall for the month of Octo-
Der ever recorded at the observers Of
fee. The greatest amount heretofore
having fallen was LAP inches in 1888
and 6.96 inches in 1889. The highest tenn
perature during the week was II de-
grees, and the lowest AZ degrees.
Lancaster-The storm of the fore part
of the week was of much benefit to An
telope valley, and will start genera

THIEF AND FIREBUG.
Young Judson Green Arraigned on
Burglary Charge.

On charge of burglarizing the sta
tionery store of T. c. Foster in the Bry-
son block Jerome Judson Green, the
precocious youngster who has told the
police detectives so many fairy tales
about being abducted but has been
found to be skillful thief instead of an
abused child, was arraigned in the po-
lice court yesterday afternoon.
Since Saturday night last Detective
Goodman has been looking up young
Green's past actions and has found out
enough to fully convince him that the
lad is about as near totally depraved
and vicious as he well can be. He was
employed as office boy by Attorney
and during the time he worked there

We're robbed of money books, jewelry
and valuables of all descriptions Young
Green is a progressing lad and was
not suspected in connection with the
thefts, but since his arrest numerous
thefts have been directly traced to
him.
At first Judson denied everything, but
has made several confessions acEnowl
adging his thefts and burglaries, and not
only this, but that he is a tirebug as well.
Several weeks ago three fires were start
ed in one day in the Bryson block and

CRUSHED BY A BUCKET.
A Rancher Killed While Engaged in
Digging Well.

Coroner Campbell was called to the
little village of Moneta, near Gardena,
yesterday morning to hold an inquest
upon the body of Clarence Bassett. a
rancher who died at 6 o'clock Tuesday
evening from injuries received couple
Of hours earlier by having a bucket fall
on his head from a height of twenty
feet, fracturing his skull.
Bassett had but recently rented a
small ranch and was digging a we'll on
it. A man named Fritz was assisting
him In the labor Fritz was on top, work
ing the windlass, Basett being down in
the hole, 35 feet deep. He fastened a
bucket of slush and gravel to the rope
and gave the signal for hosting. He
had neglected to securely hook the buck
ct, and when about half way up it
broke lose and fell, hitting him on top
of the head.
When taken out he was unconscious,
and it was found that his skull was
crushed. Two hours later he died.
Preparations were made to inter the
body before it became known that an
inquest would be necessary. which ac-
counts for the news of the accident
being delayed. Rassett was a native of
New York state, 35 years old, and leaves
a widow. A verdict of accidental death
was rendered, in accordance with the
established facts.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-Della
Fox who makes her first appearance in
this city as a comic opera star brought
auctions and strongest companies of
the season. Her management, very
wisely, did not make too great allowance
for her personal popularity, but sur
rounded her with the best people OBJ
tainable and clothed the opera with
elaborate scenery and costumes. and
the opera is supplied with bright and
interesting plot by the French original,
from which it was adopted. 1t abounds
in good lines and clever situations,
much of the credit of which is due to
Clay M. Greene, who has greatly i'm
proved upon the original opera, the mu-
sic of which has been revised and re-
written by William Furst.
The story of 1.-The Little Trooper"
deals with the jealousy of Clairette, the
newly welded bride of a captain of hus-
sars, whose embarrassment at the I'M
expected meeting with an old sweet
heart on the eve of his departure for the
front arouses her suspicious. The cap
tain who is very near sighted, loses his
head so completely that he is unable
to muster courage to tell Mathilda, the
former sweetheart, of his marriage, and
succeeds in arouSing her suspicious as
well. Both follow him to camp. and
the wife, arriving last, finds another wo-
man has been introduced as the cap
tains wife by laundering brother Of
f1cer. Determined to get at the bottom
of the mystery, she DISCUSSES herself
