GRASS WILEY SHOOTING.
Citizen Wounded While Trying to Prevent
Killing During a Street
Eioht

GRASS VALLEY, CAL. April 1S.-John
Low was wounded by bullet in the arm
last midnight while trying to save the life
OF one of the principals in a street ARRAY.
The shot was fired by Thomas Tren berth,
and the intended victim was James
Rodda, but instead of striking Rodda the
bullet hit Low, who sought to prevent
Tren berth from using the pistol.
A priZe-ight was to take place at the
Athletic Club last night between John
Trenberth, son of Thomas Tren berth,
and Charles Davey. The former had bested
the latter in previous con est, and, it
appears, was anxious Tor another battle,
but for some reason the fight was declared
off yesterday. Rodda had been training
Davey for TWO weeks past and was eager
to have the contest take place. Rodda
met Trenberth Sr. last night and they
quarreled. Rodda remarked:
"Davey can VIII p your boy, and l can
whip YOU"
Trenberth claims that Rodda attempted
to strike him, whereupon he shot at
Rodda, but wounded John Low. Tren-
berth was arrested, and is now out on
bail.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 1s.-La
Fiesta decorations have sprung into form
on the principal streets. the public build
ings and the leading hotels during the
past twenty-four hours as if by magic.
The beautiful tri-colors line Broadway and
Spring street from First south for many
blocks. These are suspended upon wires
which were stretched for the purpose last
night. In addition to these double lines
OF wires upon which are attached fiesta
colored bunting and which alternate aud
are placed at regular intervals of four feet
apart, many arches of wire. gaily deco
rated with the colors, meet at the center
Of the streets.
The courthouse and other public build
ings are beautifully decked. Among
the most gorgeously decorated hotels the
new Van Nuys leads with a profusion of
fiesta.colored bunting which has never
been equaled heretofore in Los Angeles.

The work of the National Government
in extending the jetty at the mouth of the
harb0r is being prosecuted vigorously by
the Government contractors and this ietty
which is already the best part of mile in
length, has had a very marked effect in
deepening the ships channel over a depth
of several feet. An experienced engineer
tells your correspondent that he thor
oughly believes that much of the action of
the water on the par, caused already by
the presence OF the jetty, will result in
several years time in the deepening of the
channel between one and two feet and
possibly more. BY using seaplows on the
surface of the bar this channel-deep ening
process will be greatly facilitated and it
Will be an easy matter TO make San
Diego's harbor, which already will accom-
modate vessels of the largest draft, the
deepest harbor entrance on Uncle Sans
coast lines, East or West
During most of the first quarter of this
year fleet Of between five and ten war
ships has been constantly stationed here,
including the flagship PHILADELPHIA with
Admiral Beardsee, q. S. N, commander
of the North Pacific squadron, aboard.
The growing popularity OF San Diego
Harbor as naval resort among the Of
tcers of the entire navy is matter of
great interest and the feeling is stronger
than ever that some day the United
States Government, approaching the ad-
vantages of this land. locked harbor and
the advantages of San Diego's climate
during the winter, will do something
toward establishing a permanent station
here for the increasing number of ships in
the squadron.

Barnes the message was something like this:

of land of about fifteen or twenty acres in

This tobacco was grown from Havana
seed, and in color and texture closely re-
sem bles the genuine Havana leaf. 1t has
been manufactured into cigars of surpris-
ingly good quality, considering the new
ness of the land and the experimental
methods in growing and curing the leaf
These cigars sell readily in the local mar
ket. Pipe tobacco made from this leaf is
also heartily relished by many smokers
Your correspondent. in discussing the to-
bacco outlook OF this county with an ex-
pert cigar manufacturer who has had an
unusually long cigar experience, was told
that for his purposes the tobacco at
present raised by San Diego growers is
worth 80 cents per pound, and can be used
successfully In the manufacture OF scent
cigars. This expert is thoroughly con-
vlnced that the growers, with year or
two additional experience in growing and
curing the leaf, can produce an article that

respondent that he es imates the olive OUT

at between 1000 and 5000 barrels. Last

usually means that the year following an

They note the fact that for several years
past the California olive supply has been

for olives in this county is regarded as

by a monster devil fish measuring over
twelve feet between the ends of opposite

into the boat. catching Miss Herbruck by
the foot. She screamed and pulled, finally
escaping by dexterously slipping off her
shoe.
Then began battle royal. The octopus
whipped the sound until foam covered its
surface, endeavoring all the while to

vigorously pounding the fish with the
oars and a fishhook.
Finally the octopus twisted an arm
about the cross piece in the boats bow
and headed for the sea. The girls sue
ceeded in cutting off the tentacls after be-
ing towed for some distance. Another
stroke killed the monster, which was then
dragged into the boat. 1t weighed ITO
pounds and had eight arms.

the most exciting conventions In years,

urday, nominated A-ssemblyman Joshua
E. Borton for State Senator, to sue
was crowded, and a he-D q a-e-s was
made. Samuel w. Beldon, OF Borden

of Moorestown; NJ. Z. Matlack, of MI.
Holly, and George Wildes, OF New Han

declined to allow his name TO be pre-
scented. Before the first ballot was call

narrowed the contest down between Bor-
ton and Matfack. The excitement was
intense, and when the secretaries an
nounced the nomination of Borton. there
wss loud applause. TheAFote stood 81 to
81.
Another surprise was In store for the
convention when the roll was called for
nominations for the Assembly. Neither
Samuel A. Atkinson, of Mt Holly, nor
George Wildes would allow their names to
be presented, although it was confidently
expected that both would be candidates,
as q number of delegates had been elect

were Joel Horner. of Palmyra; Charles

received the nomination. Shedaker' $
