No need to say a bosom friend played a joke. The robe and cushion were found on the young man's gate post on his return home. Mr. Chas, Wommer and Miss Lillian Robison enjoyed a ride through here last Sunday evening. Horse-back riding is the rage now—next to "cycling."

A communication from the State Board of Commissioners, notifying the Association that there was due, in accordance with an Act passed by the last Legislature, the sum of $3.95 for a license for the ensuing year. It was ordered that a warrant be drawn and the money sent them. The Legislature passed an Act relating to loan and building associations at its last session, from which the following is an extract: "To meet the expenses provided by this Act, every building and loan association, or corporation or association doing business on the building and loan plan, shall pay, in advance, to the Commissioners, its pro rata amount of expenses, to be determined by an assessment levied upon the shares of each of such associations in force on the 31st day of December, 1892, pro rata, according to the per value of such shares, and annually thereafter, and the said Commissioners shall levy in a like manner, and collect in advance, a" A Pair of Silk Garters. A young gentleman in Los Angeles named Jim Denforth, who has lodgings at the residence of H. P. Herron in that city, came near decorating a cold marble slab in the Morgue one evening last week, and all on account of a pair of woman's silk garters. Herron was out for the evening, and his wife had occasion to go into Denforth's room, when the man showed her a pair of silken garters, which he said he proposed presenting her with. The woman accepted them, when Denforth said the latest fad was to "wish them on." Mrs. Herron consented, and while the gay young man was engaged in placing them in their proper position, a shot came whistling through the window, in dangerous proximity to Denforth's head. Herron had become suspicious of his wife, and returned to find the guilty pair together. He rushed into the house and fired three more shots at the rapidly disappearing Lohrario, but his aim was bad, and the leaden messengers of death went wild. Denforth skipped the town, and Herron will ask for a divorce on statutory grounds. Herron lived in Anaheim several years ago and was employed as a druggist by Dr. Hunt during the milk-shake season.

He sits at his desk till he wears out his eyes, and pants, then he tries writing copy to keep off the flies, and in winter 'tis chills, and his creditors cheer hauling hay, when the load became shifted and he alld off upon the horses' backs. They started to run away and the wheels of the wagon passed over Johnson's arm, breaking it as stated. The runaway team was stopped before doing further damage. Dr. Bullard was called, and set the broken member, and at last accounts the injured man was getting along as well as could be expected. Next week digging will begin. A couple of newly-made beet diggers are expected to arrive from China in time to begin the digging. These are capable of digging five to six acres of beetra per day, and will make it lively for the haulers. The polarization of the beets raised here will be watched with interest by the citizens, as upon the extent of their saccharine qualities depends the success of the beet industry in this section. It is confidently expected that the beets will average well in sugar. One of the Russian colony of three-cent potato diggers dropped a tiny paper bag of pearl barley on the sidewalk on Center street one afternoon last week, and immediately set about to illustrate his previous condition of servitude by getting down on his knees and scraping it up with his hands and putting it in the bag again. He gathered up everything in sight, sand and all, to the very last grain, pinching up the last grains with his fingers. He was in the act of raking over the sand at the edge of the sidewalk to see if he could not find some of the barley in the dirt, when a kindly-hearted merchant came along and told him to throw the stuff away, saying that he would give him some more free of charge. This offer the Russian accepted, and arose and went on his way rejoicing. At the election for officers of Company G, held at the Armory last Thursday evening, First Lieutenant Halpin was elected Captain, Second Lieutenant Landell was elected First Lieutenant and Private B. R. Grogan, Second Lieutenant. These three energetic young gentlemen ought to be able to put the company in the front rank of the companies forming the Seventh Regiment, and they will doubtless proceed at once to do so. There is so reason why the company should not be again what it was in former times, the boat drilled company in the regiment. The organization has been suffered to fall into a condition of innocuous descent, but is rapidly regaining its second wind and is now on the upward grade. Three new members were mustered in Thursday evening, and more good material is in sight and will be pressed into service. Every young man in town should be a member of the company. While W. J. Smith was driving home in a cart last Saturday evening his horse took fright at a pile of lumber near the sandwash bridge, and upset the cart and threw him violently to the ground. He sustained a fracture of one of the little fingers and was otherwise considerably shaken up. He will soon be well on the way to recovery, however. Mr. Plez James is rapidly recovering from the injuries sustained by him at Santa Monica on the Fourth, but it will still be some days before he will be able to be around again. Mr. James was very badly injured, and has suffered considerably during the week. He is well on the way to recovery again, and will soon be out. Billy Rea was in town from Long Beach on Tuesday, getting up a crowd to go down next Sunday to see the wrestling match between Harvey Bass, the well-known Norwalk blacksmith and ballplayer, and a wrestler from San Pedro. The match will be for a hundred a side, and will take place on the beach in front of the pavilion. Solly Smith of Los Angeles achieved a great victory over Griffin in the pugilistic encounter in Chicago the other day. Solly has a cousin residing in Anaheim, who enjoys the sobriquet of Prof. Smith, and who trained Kennedy for his go some time ago against the Riverside colored man. Recently the Professor has had charge of a band of sheep shearers, but is at present, we believe without an engagement. Col. Robison returned from his camping trip on Monday. He caught a severe cold when in Trabuca canyon, and had to be taken eight miles to Capistrano where he took train north. Morgan and Walker went back to the canyon, and will put in a couple of weeks at the springs. Feed is good, the canyon being a dense field of wild oats, and game is plentiful. The boys are having a great time, and when they return we shall expect to hear the latest in the snake story line. While at work upon the new Methodist Church at Fullerton last Friday afternoon, Gib Landell had the bad luck to fall from a scaffolding some fifteen feet to the floor, sustaining injuries which for a time rendered him unconscious. He was taken to the residence of A.D.Porter and medical aid sent for. He recovered consciousness after the lapso of some little time, and after the physician arrived it was found that no bones were broken and that nothing more serious had resulted than a severe shaking up and a very bad bruising. Gib had a very narrow escape, but is now out and at work again. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ISAAC LYONS, ...DEALER IN... Groceries, -- Provisions!
