SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. S-(Regular
Correspondence.) There Is trouble brew
ing in Lytle Creek canyon that promises to
end in bloodshed. The main trouble has
been between two settlers, II. Bradshaw
and c. b. Hughes. They live on adjoining
claims and are constantly at war. rev
weeks ago Bradshaw had Hughes arrested
for stealing section Of wire fence. but
on examination the district attorney would
not prosecute the case, but Bradshaw
threatens to bring the matter up before the
next grand jury About that time Brad
shaw and Hughes had another difficulty,
in which the former told the latter that II
he stepped over the division line he would
kill him. Hughes then threw one leg upon
the fence and Bradshaw threw his hand
to his pocket, and Hughes. thinking per-
haps Bradshaw would shoot, left the
scene. Yesterday Bradshaw was in the
oty to see United States Commissioner
Cole in regard to some of Hughes doings.
This time the United States land office, on
advice from Bradshaw, is after Hughes,
and yesterday Bradshaw went before the
commissioner and submitted the evidence
that he had collected. Hughes lives on the
lsoutheast quarter of section 22 township
I2 north, range 6 west, s. E. M, and the
charges of Bradshaw are that the claim
was made through fraud. Special Agent
recent arrest of Hughes for setting a
forest fire in Lytle creek grows out of
trouble of a like nature with another set
tier.
The city trustees of Santa Ana, Messrs.
C. Z. Gronard, John Avas, w. S. Whitney,

and Ed. Tedford, arrived in this city last
night for the purpose of inspecting the
sewer system of this city. They were taken
about the city this morning by the local
board and shown everything about the
sewerage system. The system is one of the

On Wednesday night the money drawer
in Rudolph's candy store was tapped for
SOS. Entrance was gained by breaking in
the back door, The party who burglarized
the store was evidently well acquainted
with the inside of the big store, as the lights
were turned down and the thief went
direct to the drawer without disturbing
anything else and easily worked the COM
bination. The police have their suspicion
of a certain person and are shadowing the
suspect.
The trustees are besieged with applicants
for the appointment of a policeman to fill
the vacancy caused by Officer Prindeville's
resignation. The hardest fight is being
made for NJ P. Corners, who was on the
force under Marshal Van Dorm. Pete has
got the backing of the Santa Fe shops,
and last night the trustees were besieged
with railroad boys who want Corners on
the force. John Current will go into the
fight with two votes. as he is supported by
Trustees Thomas and Stewart. the Popu-
list members. The other applicants are
John Henderson and Deputy Constable
Marks. All the applicants are Democrats,
and the board is two Populists, one Demo-
crat and two Republicans.
