His honor, being in his barefeet and nightshirt, and being confident he had treed his man, returned to his abode and dressed himself. When he returned to Sparks', the palsano had gone. Sparks identified the man as Meami Navaez, a Mexican woodchopper, who boasted of having broken the window in the Ord residence. Monday morning a warrant was sworn out against him, and he was placed under arrest by the Gos Alamitos constable. Navaez was sentenced in May last by Judge Ord to thirty days in the county jail for maldemeanion. He vowed vengeance upon the Judge. Navaez was taken to Santa Ana on Tuesday and sentenced by Judge Mat look to ninety days in the county jail. Judge Ord is a terror to evil-doers at Los Alamitos, and one or two Mexicans sentenced to jail have threatened his life. He takes little stock in these threats, however. He had a revolver lying by the side of his bed when Navaez broke his window, but in his haste to get down stairs, forget all about the weapon. "It's just as well I did forget it," he said, in talking about the circumstance, "for if I had taken it, that man would have been a corpse, and I had no right to shoot him outside my house. For I most certainly would have shot him had I had my weapon is hand." CREAMERY Burned Willson Brothers' creamery at Delbi, two miles south of Santa Ana, was totally destroyed by fire at 11 o'clock on Thursday night, entailing a loss of about $2500 with no insurance. The flames were under fierce headway when first discovered and all efforts to put them out were futile, the crowd which gathered having hard work to protect the dwelling of the family nearby from catching fire. The origin of the fire is unknown, but is supposed to have started by spontaneous combustion in the packing about the refrigerator. The creamery was one of the most complete in the county and turned out quantities of butter and pasteurized milk, obtaining milk and cream from the ranches south of Santa Ana. The plant will be rebuilt as soon as possible and in the meantime the skimming and buttermaking will be done at other creameries in the vicinity. In addition to the loss of the machinery and building, valuable papers and accounts were also burned. In lightning the flames one of the Willison brothers was painfully injured, so that he was confined to his bed.

Hutchinson's drug store, Sep24 AOIDENT TO THE MAYOR. Mayor Julius Schneider drove up to Helmsen's store on Sunday afternoon to make a purchase. He alighted from his buggy, leaving his wife and little child seated therein. He had entered Mr. Helmsen's store, closing the door behind him, when his attention was attracted by his horse rearing up and starting to run away. He ran to the assistance of his wife and child and reaching the door mistook it for a swing-door and plunged his hand and head through the heavy plate glass, sustaining severe cuts about the face and head. He extricated himself speedily and ran after the horse, which was some distance away. The animal was caught when near Los Angeles street. It had taken fright at one of the many passing rigs. Mr. Schneider bled profusely from the several cuts. He was taken to Dr Johnston's office, where his injuries were attended to, several sitches being necessary in cuts on his arm and face.

BASEball. A large crowd at Athletic park on Sunday afternoon saw Olinda defeat San Bernardino at baseball by the lopsided score of 11 to 0.
