Upon the dismissal of the case, Cooper's bondmen, who had pledged themselves for the $2000 necessary to secure his freedom from imprisonment, were released from their obliigation.

COLTON MARBLE The Colton marble works, which is now the property of the California Portland Cement company, and which has been running day and night for two of the finest office buildings in San Francisco, which cost their owners more than $1,500,000, and which are now completed, is now running and is Fred Click Robbed As Fred Click was on his way home on Wednesday evening at half-past No'clock, and when at a point near the corner of Adele and Hermosa streets he was met by a footpad who struck him a heavy blow on the forehead knocking him to the ground unconscious. Click states he lay where he had fallen until half after 4 the following morning. In his rear trouser's pocket he had $5 bill, which his assailant took. Click has no means of identifying that man, who was not masked, but this night was dark and he was struck before he had time to realize that an attempt was being made to rob him. Mr. Forbes of La Habra suffered that loss of his residence by fire on Tuesday morning of last week. He was on the point of taking train hitherward having some 800 acres in grain on the San Joaquin ranch, when he noticed smoke issuing from the roof near the chimney.Hastily climbing upon the roof he kicked in several shingles and saw that structure was doomed to destructionthe fire having made considerable headway.Efforts were then made to carry out the furniture,and much of it was saved.A plano was among the articles saved.Mr. Forbes counts his loss at $2000; insurance,$1000.With wife and four children he is occupying rooms in a barn until a new residence can be erected. Engineer Leak, who pulls the Low Alamitos limited, comes up town between trains and has come to be known as considerable of a wit and not such a bad fellow.Mr. Leak is a chicken fancier from away back,and has at Low Alamitos several pens of the finest breeds of thoroughbred fowl.Coyote played havoc with the birds and Leak determined to build a high board fence about his yards。When he inquired the price he found lumber had gone up so high that he at once felt sorry for his chickens。There is no fence around the barnyard yet,and coyotes are living high in the sugar-beet town.

Brewer, a well known mechanic of Pullertown, has just received from Secretary Shaw of the Treasury Department at Washington, D. C., the finest gold medal ever sent into this county as a token of respect from Congress for his bravery in saving a number of persons from frowning while he resided at Redondo Beach. The actual value of the medal alone is close to $200. Mr. Brewer is justly proud of the medal and will keep it the remainder of his life. He has plunged into the water and saved six lives, and today has in his possession a fine diamond-studded solid gold watch from the citizens of Redondo; a valuable gold medal from the parents of one of the young men he saved; a costly Masonic charm from the Redondo lodge and a silver medal from the I. O. O. F. lodge of the same city; a solid gold watch chain from a former president of the Redondo Railway company, and other tokens of esteem. The names of the persons whose lives Brewer saved, as recited in Secretary Shaw's letter, are: Miss Rachel Cramer, bathing at Santa Monica in summer of 1880; Lawrence S. Ainsworth, at Redondo Beach, July, 1891; Edward E. Richardson, at Redondo Beach, July 1900.

BASEBALL The Apex nine of Los Angeles defeated Olinda at Athletic park on Sunday afternoon, the score being 11 to 8. NOT A POOR STATE. It would be interesting to know the total selling price of all the fruits, berries and vegetables, fresh canned and dried, shipped and to be shipped from California points this season. With fresh deciduous fruit shipments up to 10,000 carloads, oranges 30,000 carloads, tens of thousands of carloads of raisins, other dried fruits, canned fruits and vegetables, fresh, canned and even dried, the aggregate is enor- NOT A POOR STATE. It would be interesting to know the total selling price of all the fruits, berries and vegetables, fresh canned and dried, shipped and to be shipped from California points this season. With fresh deciduous fruit shipments up to 10,000 carloads, oranges 30,000 carloads, tens of thousands of carloads of raisins, other dried fruits, canned fruits and vegetables, fresh, canned and even dried, the aggregate is enormous. There are little things, too, that count up in a way that can scarcely be realized. For example, it is stated that 5000 carloads of celery will be shipped East this season, in addition to many carloads furnished Pacific Coast points. Out of the Pajaro valley, up to October 26th, 556 carloads of small berries were shipped, and Pajaro is not the only berry-growing district of the State by any means. The total value of the small berry crop of the State must be enormous. These are hard conditions for the pessimist to get over. A State that has such a volume of high priced produce to sell is not a poor State.—Sacramento Union. NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—The Philippine Commission has approved the nomination by Taft of forty-three commissioners, including several natives, for the St. Louis exposition.

BOSTON, Dec. 29.—Richard Olney is a candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination.

Olney declines to be interviewed. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29.—In banking circles the fact is admitted that the consolidation of three savings banks of Los Angeles is almost completed and that with the ushering in of the new year 1904 the new institution will be prepared for business. That the consolidation will be perfected is not denied by those who have knowledge of the plan that has been under consideration for several weeks. At the head of the consolidation is the Security Savings Bank, admitted to be one of the largest institutions of its kind in Southern California. Several bankers who were approached upon the matter; while tentively admitting that the Main Street Savings Bank and the Los Angeles Savings Bank might be the two other institutions to be absorbed, stated they were not in a position to permit a free discussion of the situation. The full details of the consolidation are in the hands of a special committee representing the three banks to be absorbed. This body also has practically determined the personnel of the new concern and who of the old forces of each bank will be retained. In any event Los Angeles is promised by January 1, 1904, a savings bank that will have few equals on the Pacific Coast.
