EXIT MIGUEL BIJA. Death of a Notorious Desperado. It will be recollected that in January last we gave an account of how Miguel Bija attempted to kidnap a child, of which he claimed to be the father, and on his being resisted by one Manuel Bustamente, fired, wounding Manuel in the hand and foot. At that time a warrant for his arrest was placed in the hands of the proper officer, but no trace of his whereabouts was discovered until a few days ago. On last Tuesday morning Constable J. D. Byrd accompanied by Dye Davies started for the Canon de las Trancas, about 15 miles from Anaheim, where they had been informed Miguel was hiding. They re-ed him on his back, and we both asked him to surrender while in that position, but he sprung up and fired again. Davies and myself then fired and he fell, his pistol dropping from his hands. When I told him to surrender I spoke in Spanish. He lived about twenty minutes after being shot. All he said was that he didn't blame us, but his wife, who he said, was of canine extraction. Found another pistol in his belt besides the one he used, also a dagger. (The pistol was here examined, and two chambers found empty and one cap snapped.) This closed the evidence, and the jury after a short deliberation returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased was named Miguel Bija aged about 22 years, a native of Hermosillo, and came to his death by gunshot and pistol wounds, fired by Constable J. D. Byrd and D. Davies, while in the discharge of their duty, and that the said Byrd and Davies were fully justified in killing the deceased. THE CHARACTER of the deceased was bad. A few months ago, he stole a saddle, bridle vest, and five dollars in coin from the house of Walter Parker, near Anaheim. He attempted at the same time to take a horse, but did not succeed. Even the pistols which were found on him were stolen, and the owners have already applied for them. On Saturday night last, he attempted to enter the County Division No rain yet. Fred. Athearn is our friend J. E., turned from San Francisco. Exyz wants to buy and dollars. See Read the notice this issue. Davis sells milk per gallon. Frank Lecouvreau Angeles yesterday.

The public road from the head of to the Coyote house Board of Supervisors There is an as- and foot. At that time a warrant for his arrest was placed in the hands of the proper officer, but no trace of his whereabouts was discovered until a few days ago. On last Tuesday morning Constable J. D. Byrd accompanied by Dye Davies started for the Cañon de las Trancas, about 15 miles from Anaheim, where they had been informed Miguel was hiding. They returned the same evening with the dead body of Miguel, and reported to Judge Kohler, who summoned a jury and proceeded to hold an inquiry. The jury first examined the body and found seven bullet wounds, two of which are from a dragoon revolver, and five of them from a shotgun loaded with five shooter bullets. Three balls penetrated the breast, three in the abdomen and one in the side. Dr. A. Heyermann was sworn as interpreter, and the testimony was as follows: Angel Encina, sworn—Knew the deceased about one week Was in the Canada de las Trancas this afternoon and saw Byrd and Divi there. Heard deceased say he would not surrender. Know that Davies told him to hold up his hands. Saw deceased draw his revolver and fire a shot at Davies In my opinion there was no other way to take him, except to kill him Jesus Martinez, sworn — Knew Miguel Bija about one week. Saw Davies and Byrd in the canion today. Heard the Constable ask deceased to surrender. Said he would not, and drew a revolver and shot at Davies. He fired one or two shots. Do not think they could have captured him without killing him. Deceased had two pistols and a dagger. (Pistols and dagger shown witness.) These are the same weapons he had. Manuel Bustamente, sworn—Knew Miguel Bija about one year. Saw him dead in the City Hall today. Deceased was 21 or 22 years of age, and was born in Hermosilla. Constable J. D. Byrd, sworn — I received a warrant for the arrest of Miguel Bija (warrant produced) Mr. Winfried Sears told me where to find him and told me that de of the deceased was bad. A few months ago, he stole a saddle, bridle vest, and five dollars in coin from the house of Walter Parker, near Anabeim. Ho attempted at the same time to take a horse, but did not succeed. Even the pistols which were found on him were stolen, and the owners have already applied for them. On Saturday night last, he attempted to enter the house of his former wife, and on being refused admittance, fired several shots through the door. His depredations on unprotected cornfields, and his general cussedness made him an outlaw, detested by everyone, and while the people would rather have seen him hung, they are not disposed to grumble, but award due credit to Davies and Byrd for the manner in which they served the warrant, and the consequent saving to the people, of an expensive trial. A WAIL—While we can, with perfect truthfulness boast of the superiority of our climate, our immunity from excessive heat as well as excessive cold, and all that sort of thing, we must acknowledge that the Santa Ana winds that prevail for a few weeks at this season of the year are extremely parching to the soil and physically disagreeable. In an article published in the Overland Monthly some time ago, Dr. Widney in enumerating the blessings that would flow, from diverting the Colorado river from its present bed into the desert, claimed that it would stop these withering blasts, which have their existence in that huge furnace; so that at some future time, when Dr. Widney's scheme is carried out, we will be rid of about the only disagreeable feature of our climate. We can scarcely find words to express our feelings in regard to the dust which generally accompanies these winds, so we find relief in the following POICKRY. O the dust, the horrible dust. Cov'ring the type like a coating of rust, In through the crevices, In through the floor, In through the windows. Anabeim resembleage. The street with bull-teams. Mr. S.

Thirteen hunts sum awarded to the District Council due him from the Capt. Glassel port of the procured land Farmers' Coed too late for issue, but will Mr. D. W., thirty-five pounds his few months heim. Proof, Manuel Bustamente, sworn—Knew Miguel Bija about one year. Saw him dead in the City Hall today. Deceased was 21 or 22 years of age, and was born in Hermosilla. Constable J. D. Byrd, sworn—I received a warrant for the arrest of Miguel Bija (warrant produced) Mr. Winfried Sears told me where to find him, and told me that deceased was heavily armed, and that I could not bring him in. I left this morning to search for him and asked Mr. Davies to go with me. We met another Mr. Sears this morning and he told me that deceased had promised to work for him, but that he seldom worked, but he roamed around, defying any one to come after him. He thought that we might find him but I could not capture him. We went up the canyon to Guadalupe Ruis' place, where we left our horses and went on foot about a mile or a mile and a half up the canyon until we came in sight of a tent in which were deceased, the two witnesses first examined and another Mexican. We got within fifty yards of the tent, and then had to come into open view. We walked rapidly towards the tent, and I called on him to surrender. I did not hear him make any reply but he sprang to his feet, drew his revolver and fired a shot. I instantly returned the fire with my pistol, followed by Davies with his shotgun. Six shots in all were fired. The first shot I fired knocked the only disagreeable feature of our climate. We can scarcely find words to express our feelings in regard to the dust which generally accompanies these winds, so we find relief in the following POICKRY. O the dust, the horrible dust. Cov'ring the type like a coating of rust, In through the crevices, In through the floor, In through the windows, In through the door, Cov'ring the press, just lately been "iled." By our over-worked devil—that innocent child. Who, gazing around with a maniac glare At the ruin, indulged in a good hearty swear. PLANTERS' STABLE.—During the prevalence of the epizootic in this place, Gaddy, Wiley & Co., proprietors of the Planters' Stable, occupied themselves in making additional improvements in their establishment. They are now prepared to furnish as stylish a "turn-out" as any outside of San Francisco and have the most ample facilities for boarding and taking care of horses. These gentlemen, since their advent here, have proved themselves deserving of public patronage, not only on account of their low tariff of charges, but also by strict attention to business and by uniform courtesy to all with whom they have been brought in contact.

Proof, strong as Holy Writ, that Anaheim is a natural sanitarium. It is generally supposed that mince-meat contains a goodly quantity of filth and dirt, and should be well seasoned with brandy. As your earcass consists principally of those ingredients, you would make a more palatable dish than we would, Bro. De Witt Adios. The spectacle of a man hunting for his wife at 10 o'clock at night has a soothing effect upon a young man, prone to over estimate the happiness of domestic life, and who is disposed to grumble at his fate. The West is a good paper, contains much valuable information and is widely circulated in the Eastern States. We would like, however, when it copies an editorial from our columns, to give us credit for it. A PLEASURE.—Mr. Gunn, of the San Diego Union, made us a five-minute visit yesterday.
