ATTRACTIVE SLOPING ACREAGE
FOR HOMES
Land Located South of Washington

100000 for Early Inn
pfoVements

The increasing demand for highclass
homesites in the beautiful southwest
section has brought upon the Los An
geles market two choice tracts To-
Gated in a district that will at once
command the admiration and interest
OF hundreds of people who desire to
erect dwellings on the beautiful slope.
Saturday Robert Marsh & Co., and
NJ. j. Nolan sold to G.. l.. Crenshaw and
associates for Joseph Burkhard, ninety
acres on West Washington street, eX-
tending through to Adams street south
and across the street from the H.
acre tract known as the old Nadeau
homestead, now owned by the Cren-
shaw Trust & Realty company. The
consideration was $225,00O, or at the
rate of $25O0 per acre.

TRACTIVE SUBDIVISION
Only Forty-TWo Lots in the Addition
All 15o Feet Deep-No Lot
Less Than 95 Feet in
Width

On the northwest corner of Wiltshire
boulevard and Normandie avenue
stands the most imposing hill in Los
Angeles. 1t includes about twenty
acres of table land, so rema rlx a bly, con
formed that it commands an interrupt
ed view from every point of the COM
pass Being directly in the path of
progress of the choicest residential
section of the city this particular
tract has been looked upon for many
months with eyes of envy by those who
knew what it would ultimately mean,
namely. without a single exception the
most desirable residence property in
Los Angeles.
The owners have been repeatedly ap-
preached by land spectators who de-
sired to purchase and subdivide, but
the price has been such that to sell
the lots even at the excessive figures
would not show the necessary profits
which such transactions should show
to be considered safe investment.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-04

However, a small portion of this prop
erty is now offered for sale, due to an
extraordinary condition.
A half dozen representative business

ultimately have home on this beau

THE HEART OF THE CITY

Between the Flatiron and the Times

For in that noisy, glittering mart
| feel the ctys beating heart.
'Tis but a stage, and al men mines,
Between the Flatiron and the Times.
Between the Flatiron and the Times
There are committed gravest crimes;
Patrician or plebian knaVes
Delude their victims and their slaves.
Some sin for fortunes, some for dimes,
Between the Flatiron and the Times.
Between the Flatiron and the Times
Light laughter rings and music chimes
The gayest, happiest hours are spent,
Glad hearts Oerfiow with merriment;
All types are there-all years-all climes-

Hast singed thy pretty wings, poor moth?
Fret not; some moths there be
That wander all the weary night
Longing in vain to see

Hast touched the scorching flame, poor

That know not, grow not to be strong,
And weep not, having missed
The song.

Angeles. High and level as
a floor, its stately boulevards
and streets circle out from a
central plaza, presenting a
beauty and symmetry of out

plated in a Southern Cali

the eager demand for

Last Nights Riots.

Springfield, o.. March With
eight companies of state troops on
guard in this city as the result of
Tuesday nights mob violence in
which six houses were burned in the
negro residence district, more incen-
diary fires were started again early
tonight in various parts of the city.
In about every instance the houses
were occupied by negroes.
The Flicker's Nest, inhabited by
negroes and which figured in the Dix
on mob and the subsequent race war
of two years ago, was assailed last
night and several attempts made to
fire it, but as it is guarded by militia
men the effort has so far failed.
Up to 1880 last night the mob
had burned two houses and stoned
and partially demolished dozen
others, all being inhabited by negroes
The militia chased the rioters at the
point of the bayonet. The house of
Rev. John Scurry, a negro preacher,
was stoned and the family fed ter
ror-stricken from it. The mob then
set fire to it, but the prompt arrival
of the military prevented its destruc-
ton. The homes of two other negroes
were riddled with stones. A boy
whose name is not known, was shot
in the leg.
Martin NJ. Davis, the railroad brake
man shot by Dean and Ladd, is pro-
nounced dying.
Several hundred negroes have left
the city.
John Pierpont, was shot by a ne
gro at late hour. The negro fired
from the upper story while his house
was being stoned.
