A Greco-German Battle.

There was quite sensation d own
town Sunday night. Greek George
was INDUCING in his usual pastime of
abusing certain people, when Joe
Klein demonstrated with him. One
word brought on another, but the
Greek had the loudest tongue and
Klein jumped out of his chair with
the intention of leaving the scene.
But the Greek, thinking Klein intend
ed to attack him, started to run at a
2-minute gait. Joe, realizing the sit
uation, gave chase After running
10 yards the Greek stumbled and fell,
and Klein, being close behind, fell on
top of him, grabbed him by the back
OF the neck and sat on him. The
Greek remarked 10 high key:
Take-a him off-a-the big hog-a.
He knock-a my bret-a Obi"
Klein shouted, "Will you quit?"
Greek-Nol you big-a Dutch; cut-a
de heart. Get off-a; am Coda mighty
paralyze!
Klein-I don't want to hurt you, but
(rubbing his nose in the sandy you
must quit.
Greek-No lsputtering) you big a
brute; get off-a; you break my hat
and squeeze my gut-a. All
And by a superhrman effort he
rolled his ponderous opponent over
and perched himself on his capacious
frontispiece. Before he could strike,
however, he was hauled off, and sent
to bed by Antoine Papa, his under
study. AS soon as Klein got his
wind he got up and invited the boys
in to shake the dice A flag of truce
now floats from the Greeks stable,
but Klein carries a huge mallet in
his watch pocket.
All levity aside, it is high time
that this foul-mouthed Greek be
made to realize that there are respect
able ladies and children in Hawthorne
and that they have rights that he
must respect.

Death OF vesta Tibbets.

After an illness of less than two
weeks, Miss Vesta Tibbits passed
away last Wednesday morning.. The
immediate cause of death was blood
poisoning, which resulted from the
use of medicine applied to an aching
tooth. The unfortunate Young lady
accidentally swallowed some of the
medicine, and her throat became sore
and swollen to such an extent that
she could not swallow food for sew
eral days, and blood poisoning re-
suited. Her many friends were I'M
firing in their attentions, and every
thing possible was done to relieve
her suffering, but all to no avail.
Miss Tibbits was a universal favorite
in our little town. and her nntimely
death has cast gloom over the CON-
munity, Words of commisseration
are heard on all sides. Deceased was
to have been married next month to
George Woodruff, and the young man,
who was indefatigable during her ILL.,
ness, has the sincere sympathy of
many friends.
Miss Tibbits rem aims were taken
to Bishop on Wednesdays train for
interment, accompanied by her sister
May, Mrs. ]. H. Miller and George
Woodruff. The funeral took place at
Bishop on Thursday, and was attend
ed by sorrowirg friends from all parts
of Inyo county. Deceased was ma
tive of Big Pine, aged 10 years, four
months and six days.
On the Sunday previous to Miss
Tibbits' death, her father, W. R. Tib-
bits, a pioneer of Inyo county, died
at Big Pine of heart failure. He re-
tired as usual Saturday night, and
was found dead Sunday morning.
The bed clothing was not disarrang-
ed, showing that death came during
sleep, and without pain.

locomotives Have to ne Trained.


It may not be generally known that
locomotives intended for express trains
require as much training, in their way,
for fast running as do race horses.
When m engine intended for express
purposes is taken out of the shops to
be placed on the line, instead of putting
it to the work it is intended for at once,
II is run for two or three weeks on some
one Of the local branches, in order to
train it, so to speak, for fast running
by this means all the various bearings
and delicate machinery connected with
the running gear become settled to their
work; for. should anything about the
new machine not work tremendously,
there is ample time to adjust the de-
feet. Usually the, new engine proves
troublesome on account of its propen-
sity to make fast time, and at almost
every station the train is found to be a
little ahead of schedule time and must
wait for from ten seconds to minute.

AS early as 1929 agitation for a removal

wears various cities in the state tried to
get the capital, but it remained fixed in
Albany. and in 1869 excavations were be-
gun for the present capitol, which has al
ready cost about s25oo0,00o, and is one of
the fine specimens of architecture on the
continent. May l. 1862 bill auth orizilg

had it's origin in 1867 when the Albanians
secured the passage of a resolution of ST.
O0G, 900 through the state legislature. The
cornerstone was laid in 1871, and since
then the building has been i'm course Of
construction" In 1879 it was formally &C.

Canton Is Only Short Step. and the

Cleveland. Ohio, Dec 29.-There were
number Of prominent visitors at the once

Hon. Henry c. Payne of Wisconsin CT
tee. Hon. w j. Osborne of Massachusetts,
Sena tor Clark and Hon. Frank W. Mon
dell of Wyoming, Judge Robertson, a
prominent politician Of South Dakota, and
a half dozen we'll known Ohio republicans.
Most of those named met together at
Hannas office and held long conference
with the ma ational chairman. 1t was stated
that Payne and Osborne came here to
confer with Hanna on business connected
with the national executive committee
General A. McCook, who was the guest OF
Hanna at Windemere during his BRET
visit in Cleveland, left for Canton today
to call on the president-elect.
AS a result of the visits today all softs

rates to take in the celebration. Society
from all parts of New York will revel in
a grand ball in the state armory at night
Within stones throw of the armofy, IN
the big park, will be pyrotechnic display
that will excel anything seen in this city
for years.
New York was nominally the capital OF
the state during the revolution, but the
occupancy of the city by the royal troops
compelled the legislature to meet at
Poughkeepsie, Kingston and Albany.
When peace came, then was begun a
tug of war between Albany and New York
for the possession of the capital. New
York had become distinctively an En-
glish city, while Albany was purely Dutch.
A compromise element favored alternate
sittings in the two cities, but neither of the
active contestants would agree to this.
Finally. in 1897, the friends of Albany CON
trolled the assembly, but the New Iorkers
had the senate. 1t happened, however,
that when the bill reached the upper body
some of the New York members were abb
sent, and the vote was tie. Lieutenant
Governor Stephen Van Rensselaer,, whose
sympathies were, of course, with the AL
bany Dutch, cast the deciding vote, and
the chagrined New Workers saw the prize
slip from their grasp never again to be
recovered.
The legislature has met continuously
in Albany since 1898, the sessions being
held at first in the Stadt Hyys, corner Of
Broadway and Hudson avenue.
The erection of the capitol in the city
of Albany was largely due to the generos-
ity of the citizens. 1t was in 1903 that the
! common council of the city ido.,let {
resolution requesting the legislature to
pass an act authorizing the erection of a
state house and court house. The original
appropriation for the capitol was only S25.-
600, but the building cost $110,6SS.24. This
included the furnishing of the council
chamber The city Of Albany bore S3f, 200
of the expense, the county $4,000 and the
state $73, 1912 The cornerstone Of the old
building was laid April %, 1866. Philip
Van Rensselaer, was then mayor OF Al
bany The first legislative session Was
convened November !, 1908. The capitol
was considered a magnificent structure,
and was visited and admired by people
| from all parts of the state and nation.

it's road at Los Angeles and San Pedro
The selection of Santa Monica Woun

statement many times made that the lana
along the water line at Santa Monica was

Mr. Gibson argued that the holding on
this frontage was a virtual monopoly

SHOT AND KILLED NEIL WRIGHT.
Wan Named Going Survivor of n
Fight Near Yakima.

North Yakima Wash, Dec. pa tele-
gram from Zillah this morning called the
sheriff to that place by the statement that
Neil Wright had been shot and killed by
a man named Going last night. The farm
where the tragedy occurred is eight miles
below Zillah and 27 miles from this city.
The roads are bad, hence the sheriff and
the coroner who accompanied him, nave
not returned. Enough is known, however,
that the fight occurred on the ranch Of
Louis 3. Howard, now a resident of Spo-
kane. His farm is in the hands of a
receiver. Going was the tenant last year
and Wright and Tambrix were tenants
for 1897 The receiver had instructed that
the new tenants were not to allow the
product to be taken off the ranch until
the courts had decided the ownership. and
it is supposed that Going went to &c
some Of his crop, only to be stopped by
Wright. this bringing the fight.
The sheriff is not expected back until
morning. Wright formerly lived in Kitti-
tas county, and both men bore a good
reputation.
