g.aqu!y "SaGE GCf5 th"a
great many men," Then he told OF
Baty's accomplishments and winning
ways.
Baby was a dapple gray, sixteen
hands high, and was picked up at a
sale at the Bulls Head Market. He
turned out to be what Superintendent
Myers calls lucky find. he displayed
his affectionate nature Immediately.
He was numbered 624, and was re-
ceived by Captain Binns on November
25, 1889, and is now eighteen years
old. His dooility was so great that it
was found in few days that it wasn't
necessary to fasten him in the stall
like the other horses, and he and
Tobin, who goes to all the downtown
fires, struck up a fast friendship.
Everybody called him Baby from the
start, and as he would answer to a
whistle he soon got the freedom of the
stables. He wandered around, rub
bing up against the fremen, and often
going out into the streets. He was
very fond of candy, and one day he
walked out of the house and up to the
candy stand kept by On old man along
side the railing of st. Psul's church
yard. He ate up half dollars worth
of sweets in the temporary absence OF
the standkeeper. The fremen made
good this loss, and used to buy him
candy regularly. Baby was fond OF
apples, too, and he was clever at catch
ing them in his mouth when tossed to
him. Firemen would stand ten feet
away and toss them with considerable
speed at Baby's head. Baby would
catch the apples, no matter how fast
they came or how hard they were
thrown.
He would lift his front foot and put
it in fireman's hand at the request to
shake hands and would lie down at
word of command, and become mo-
tiouless when ordered to "die." He
would also kneel at word of command.
He had the greatest affection for Cap
tain Binns, who broke him in for fire
service, and for Burns, his regular
driver, and used to trot up to them
and try to bite the buttons off their
uniform coats. he did this slyly and
thought it was great fun.
Citizens used to visit the FIRE house
regularly to feed him candy, and espe'
cially to get Baby to play ball with
apples. A cigar dealer came every
evening excepting Sunday with three
carrots for Baby's supper. The women
folks fed him Jumps OF sugar.
Baby knew oil these friends by
sight, and used to walk out of his stall
to meet them. If any of them came
without bringing him anything, Baby
would wait q while, auxiously, and
when the expected gift was not forth
coming, he would go up behind the
visitor and strike him with his head
as reminder that he didn't want to
be forgotten. Baby used to go out for
exercise in Fulton street every even.
ing. He had his own idea Of how fast
he ought to go. A fireman used to
walk out with him. If he thought
the fireman set too slow a pace, be
would push him in the back. Some
times for joke the men would pur
posely walk very fast. Baby would
trot after them, grab them firmly by
the shoulder and bring them to 6
standstill. He would stop them IL
this way over and over again until they
settled down 10 what he considered
the proper pace for exercise.

streets, was off duty on
Wednesday night, says the New York
Sun, the truck answered a fire call aS
Albany and Greenwich streets with the
fire horses Frank, Sailor and Baby
hitched to the machine Just as the
truck turned the corner sharply Baby
lost his footing on the slippery pave
ment and fell heavily on his left hip.
The tiremen got him upon his feet
again with difficulty, and after slow
and painful journey, with Frank aud
Sailor doing oil the work, the truck
got back to the fire house. Baby was
unhitched, and in obedience to Captain
BiLns's command laid down on the
straw in the stall. Tho men bathed
the injured hip with hot water, while
the horse licked their hands AMI
rubbed his nose affectionately on their
shoulders. Tobin, the big SroWn collie
that shared the same stul with Baby
as sleeping quarters, and also shared
his daily meal OF soft feed, laid down
near the stall and yelped mournfully.
Baby was laid off after that as IN
invalid, and his place in active service
was taken by Snifles, veteran fire
horse. The fremen took turns in
nursing him. The news of his injury
spread in the neighborhood, and hun
dreds came to see him, for Baby is
known to thousands OF the residents of
the extreme lower end OF the city, and
in the department he has the reputa.
tion OF being the cleveresS of all the
splendid animals in the service.
Everybody in the station house was
disconsolate yesterday morning when
Superintendent Myers Of the training
department of the Fire Department
came down from the training stables
at Amsterdam avenue and Ninety
ninth street and told Captain Binns
that Baby would never again be able
to do active service. He said that the
horses injury was semi dislocation
OF the hip, and that while he hoped to
be able to cure him 80 he could walk,
the animal would never be able to
draw truck again. An ambulance OF

For three weeks past the county hor

tary c. G. kellogg sent several speci.

board of horticulture at San Francisco;

States pathologist at Santa Ana. and
L. o. Howard, chief of the division OF
entomology at Washington, D. c., with
the request that they make a careful
examination and ascertain, if possible.
the nature of the disease and recon-
mend remedy. Yesterday the following
letter bearing on the subject was re-
ceived from Mr.. Howard:
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE, Division of Entomol-
ogy, Washington, d. c., December q,

c. q. Kellogg. Los Angeles Cal-Dear
Sir: l am in receipt of your letter of De-
cember 13. The insect which you send is
one of the true thrips, known as Euthrips
Occidentals. The lemon picked December
II shows clearly the work of this species
On the two older lemons its work could
no longer be traced on account of the gen.
eral discoloration. While 1 hardly think
that this insect is likely to prove per-
manent and serious enemy in your lemon
orchards. it will be worth while to treat
it in such an emergency as the present,
and have no hesitation in advising you
that spraying with either the standard
resin wash or the standard Kerosene emul-
sion will destroy it. Yours truly.

animation, decided that it was the

The lemons when affected become great
ly discolored and unmarketable Just to
what extent the disease has spread is
not known, but affected fruit has been
received here for examination from sew
eral portions of the county. The lemon
orchard of Peter Hack near Prospect
Park is said to be badly infested with the
thrips, or euthrips occidentalis. and in
a few days systematic experiment will
be made upon it. at which time hydro
cyanic acid gas will be used. instead of
the remedy advised by Mr.. Howard, as
it is claimed by Secretary Kellogg that
the wash will not do as effective work
as the gas, owing to the fact that the
thrips mostly get in under the stem on
the lemon and cannot be reached by the
wash.
Many lemon growers have become in
terested in the newly discovered disease
and are looking forward to the expert
ment with much interest.

THREW SAND IN HIS EYES
An Officers Novel Way of Capturing
Prisoner

De Garmo Morales attended Spanish
dance Christmas evening given by Man
uel Marando at the corner of Mateo and
Ninth streets. Morales is a Mexican
who has reputation as bully to sus-
tain. Early in the day he began to warm
up on too much Christmas cheer, and
about 10 o'clock became decidedly troub-
lesome. He didn't bring a girl to the
dance himself but insisted on having as
his partner whichever senorita he fan
cied, regardless Of the wishes Of the
other fellow.
1t wasn't long before he found Just
what he was looking for-trouble. A
fight started and Morales drew a long
knife from his belt and started for his
antagonist loudly declaring his intention
of carving him limb from limb. The
Mexican had chased the man, who was
unarmed, out into the yard and around
a wagon and under it two or three times
when Deputy Constable J. D. Hughes of
Ballona township, who happened to be
near at hand, came to the rescue.
The officer drew his revolver and or
dered the Mexican to stop but the drunk
en- bully instead of needing the warning
now turned his attention toward Hughes
and started at him with the knife. Not
wishing to kill the man, Hughes quickly
stopped down and picked up. handful
of sand, which he threw into the irate
Mexican's eyes. This blinded him and
he stopped and began to try to scratch
the sand out. While he was doing this
Hughes ran up and knocked him down
with a pair of handouts. He then put
the handouts upon him and brought him
to the county jail in a wagon.
1t was at first intended to place a
charge of assault with deadly weapon
against the Mexican, but yesterday the
was drawn for disturbing the
peace. Morales was arraigned before
Justice Morrison and will be tried to-
day.
