LOCAL EVENTS. An Engineer Badly Beaten in a Saloon. A Sudden Death of a Visitor to the City. An Inquest Held Upon His Remains, and Its Result. The Strange Story of a Woman in Search of Her Husband—Other Items of Interest. At 7:15 o'clock last night Constable Clement and his deputy, Harry John ston, took A. (1. Rush ton, a civil en gineer, to the police station for medical treatment, as he was wandering about Spring street in a dazed manner and was bleeding profusely from his mouth and nose. Dr. Wing was summoned and dressed Rushton's injuries, which consisted of a badly cut under lip and a bruised face. When questioned, Rush ton stated that he had been drinking in a saloon on North Main street and be came involved in an altercation with two men, both of whom struck him. Pie was unable to tell what they struck him with, but from the nature of his wounds it was evident that a weapon of some sort was used. De tective Bosqui was detailed to look into the matter, and warrants were obtained for the "bruisers." At 8 o'clock Bosqui visited the saloon and proceeded to place J. S. Mitchell, the bar-tender, under arrest, upon a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. While he was doing so a man named M. A. Tainor, who was standing by, in a spirit of bravado induced evidently by intoxication, grabbed the warrant from Bosqui's hands and made a break for the door. The result of his little joke was that he was "yanked" to the city jail and locked up for the night, Mitchell accompanying Bosqui to the station and depositing T SOO in cash as security for his appearance in court. Up to a late hour last night the second man had not yet been apprehended. AFTER HER HUSBAND. Mrs. M. J. Meagher Tells a Singular Story. Mrs. M. J. Meagher is looking for her husband, who, she states, was seen in Los Angeles. She tells the following story : "My husband deserted me years ago. He has never secured a divorce from me, although he has sinee>been married. In 1869 I was married to James Meagher in St. Louis, and two years later we came to the Pacific Coast. I have had five children by him. Seventeen years ago he lived with me in this city, but he left me here and went to Santa Barbara to work at his trade. He never has lived with me since. Up until 18811 supposed that he was dead, but my brother found that he was in Los Angeles selling canary birds on the street. We found that he was married to a Mrs. Beeler. The next day my husband went to New Orleans to avoid me. He did not stay away long, but came back to Los Angeles. I came down from San Francisco to look him up. I found that he had married his second wife as a J. Merchant in the Methodist church. As soon as he found I was here he went to San Diego and I lost trace of him for two years. In 1887 I went to San Diego and'found him. I swore out a warrant for his arrest on a charge of vagrancy. On a technicality he got away. I returned to San Fran cisco. In March of 1881) I learned that be was dead; that he had been accident ally killed in San Diego. I went down there again and they showed me a grave marked 'James Malier.' They told me this was my husband. I then went to Riverside to live and there I learned that mv husband was still alive. I have learned this morning that he was seen on the street here two months ago. I am here to try and find out if he is living or dead. I intend to stay here until I find him." AN INQUEST. Henry Bootz Dies Suddenly in His Room. Coroner Meredith held an inquest yesterday afternoon on the body of Henry Bootz, a young man 32 years of age, who died suddenly in his room shortly before 4 o'clock yesterday morn ing. From the testimony taken it was learned that some three weeks ago young Bootz, who was consumptive, came to this city for the benefit of his health, and took up his residence with an old friend named Mrs. K. Short, who lives on Clay street. He was apparently much exhausted on Thursday niglit when he retired to his room, but other wise as well as usual. At 3 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Short heard him coughing violently, and ongoing to his room found that he had a hemorrhage, and was apparently chok ing to death. The lady raised him up and used every possible means to afford him relief, while one of her roomers went for a physician ; but before medical assistance could be procured the unfor tunate youth expired. His father, a wealthy resident of San Francisco, was notified of his son's death, and after the inquest, which resulted in a verdict of <leath from natural causes, the body was taken charge of by Mr. Louis Mesmer, who will ship it to San Francisco for in terment.

The Land Office Says What Lands the Railways Cannot Take. ceived at the Land Offlce in this city. It relates to indemnity lands selected by the Southern Pacific Company in this section, and will be read with much in terest here: Department of the Interior, Gen-I krai. Land Office, Washington, - D.C. j Register ami Receiver, /.'».< Angeles, Cal.: Gentlemen—With Register's letter of February 10, 1887, you transmitted the appeal of R. R. Hale from your action in rejecting his application to file D. S. for lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and (i, See. 3:;, Twp. 4 N, R 20 W, S. B. M. Said land is shown by the records of this office to have been selected as in demnity by the Southern Pacific Rail road Company, May 25, 1883, per list live, under the grant to said company of March 3, 1871, but said selection has not been approved by this department. The land in question is also within the twenty-mile primary limits of the grant of July 27, 188(3, for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company, which grant was declared forfeited by act of July (i, 1880. Under the rule that one company can not go into the granted limits of an other to seek indemnity, and also under the proviso in Section 2(i of the act of March 3, 1871, making the grant to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, "that this section shall in no way effect or impair the rights, present ami pros pective, of the Atlantic and Pacific Bail road Company, or any other railroad company," the land in question was not subject to selection by the Southern Pa cific Railroad Company on the 25th of May, 188:!, for the grant to the Atlantic and Pacific Company had not been for feited. March 17, 1888, the Southern Pacific Railroad Company applied again to select said land, and upon rejection of such application appeal was taken to this office, where the case is now pend ing. The indemnity withdrawal for the benefit of said company was revoked by departmental order August 15, 1887, and the land affected thereby thrown open to settlement October 7, 1887, such lands in your district becoming subject to en try and filing the same as other public lands. Accompanying Mr. Hale's appeal is his affidavit, alleging that he settled on the land in January, 1887, and that the land has been continuously occupied and possessed by bona fide settlers since the year 1870. The selection of the land in question by the Southern Pacific Railway Com pany, May 25, 1883, was invalid, and the same is accordingly held for cancella tion. If Mr. Hale continued to reside upon and occupy the land up to the time of the company's application to select it anew (March 17, 1888), he is entitled to file for it, and the company's applica tion was properly rejected. Respect fully, Lewis A. Groff, Commissioner. AMUSEMENTS. "Mignon" Sung by the Bostonians at the Grand. The Bostonians gave at the Grand last night an exquisitely finished pro duction of Thomas's charming romantic opera Mignon. Miss Carden took the title role, and sang the touchingly pathetic music in a manner so sweet that she was the typical "Mignon." Her notes were as clear as a silver bell, and as full of pathos as if she were the original of the story. Tom Karl sang "Wilhelm Meister," and was all that Goethe could have de sire from the manly hero of his roman tic story. The gentleman still has a bad cold, and the hoarseness was painfully apparent in his notes. Mr. Cowles took the part of "Lotha rio," which he sang with that perfect satisfaction to the audience that has marked all he has done this week. Miss Stone appeared as "Felina," which role she both sang and acted charm ingly. This lady does three characters, so exacting, vet so widely different and all so well, that they stamp her as an artist of remarkably realistic power. These are "Galatea," "Suzette," and "Felina." It is difficult to tell in which she excels. The chorus was well up to all its work at, all points and rendered the tine en semble* in a manner to leave nothing to he desired. The orchestra, too, did its work with finished effect, greatly en- I hancing the pleasure of the performance. The audience was a most remarkably brilliant one, and filled every corner of the house. The season closes today with Fatinitza at the matinee, Fra Diavolo tonight. They are both among the very best of' modern operas. A Baptist Celebration. May 10th the Northern Baptist anni versary is to be celebrated in Chicago. Rev. C. H. Hobart, of the First Baptist church, Oakland, California, is in the city organizing a select excursion via the Denver and Rio Grande and Rock Island route to attend on that occasion. The excursion will be under the special supervision of Mr. Hobart, whose head quarters are with Colonel F. AY. Thomp son, of the Rock Island road, on South Spring street. It leaves here May 12th. Who Blew I>own the Hotel. When the Lordsburg hotel was par ially built, a big wind blew it down. Boggs, the contractor, never was paid for the work, and a suit is pending before Judge Van Dyke to determine who blew the edifice down. " Bock." Tiie public in general of the city of Los Angeles, are cordially invited to inspect the "Bock" procession, at 10 o'clock today, on tiie principal streets.

Editors Herald—lt seems to me that after due examination by the horticul tural commissioners, a United States entomologist, our county supervisors and leading experts, all of whom have openly declared that the twice-stabbed lady bug, even if a parasite, is not com petent to battle with the red scale suf ficiently to clean our orange trees, the most doubtful must feel convinced. In so many places where parties have claimed that their trees were clean of the red scale, and even offered $100 re ward if the trees were not found clean (which was simply bulldozing), plenty of red scale was found. The cold weather has destroyed many red scale, even it is claimed as high as GO or 70 per cent., but when the warm weather comes there will he a glorious outpour ing of scale, and they w ill find that the lady bug will have very little strength to combat this great evil.' Is it not time that men of good com mon sense, and who are thoroughly acquainted with the red scale and the study of entomology, and reporters from all newspapers, should go into this vicin ity, where it is claimed that the twice stabbed lady bug has done its work, that they should visit the orange groves and report on the same? In every instance where the writer has been to see the work of the twice-stabbed lady bug, he has found more red scale than in the orchards of those who clean up their trees. I do not wish to say that patent washes will do it, or patent sprays, but feel quite certain that until a parasite like the vedolia is found, the gas treatment, or some other artificial means should be tried. There is no patent on the gas treatment. Any man of common sense can make the apparatus and use it, and at very little expense, therefore the cry of "wash rings," "spray rings," is all bosh, and originated in the mind of some reporter who, after eating too many oranges and taking home a power ful sight more, thought he would report a wonderful story of the twice-stabbed lady bug and its grand ravages. The party who supports the twice stabbed lady bug is like the drowning old woman, when after sinking three times she came up again, but could only motion "scissors." it is a wonder tome that the papers are not on the individual who is waiting until some unfortunate fellow has bought his land, which is for sale, and which he has been trying to sell for some time. If the twice-stabbed lady bug was a parasite like the vedolia we would lift up our hands and say, "This is nature's own work ; nature has done well." Scales. Cited to Appear. M. Reyes, the defendant in a divorce suit tried some time ago before Judge Wade, has been cited to appear on May 12th and show cause why he should not be punished for contempt in not obey ing the order of the court in paying alimony and attorney's fees. She Won't Come to California. William Shamak was day from Delia Shamak. Three years ago William came to California, but Delia preferred to remain in Texas among the longhorns. To this day she refuses to join her loving lord, and he is tired of waiting. REAL ESTATE RECORD. Friday, May 2, 1890. TRANSFERS.

The Druggists In Lowell, Mass., agree in saying that they sell more of Hood's Sarsaparilla than of all othel blood purifiers. For instance: F. C. Goodale: I sell more of Hood's Sarsapa rilla than all other blood purifiers. A. W. Dows & Co. : Hood's takes the lead of all other sarsaparfllas. C. F. Blanchard: We sell more of Hood's Sar saparilla than of any similar. Marston & Shaw: With us the sale of Hood's Is 9 to 1 of any other kind. F. Si E. Bailey & Co.: Hood's Sarsaparilla is one of the best medicines. Carlton Si Hovey: Hood's Sarsaparilla is one of tho best medicines we have. Its sale increases every year. F. P. Moody: We sell twice as much of Hood's Sarsaparilla as of anything simitar. C. A. Swan : Hood's is the most popular sarsa pari I la of the day. Thirty Other druggists speak sfmilarly. This popularity at home, where Hood's Sarsa parilla and fts proprietors have be"en known for many years, could not coutinue if the medicine did not possess merit. And these facts should certainly convince people In other sectfous of the country that Hood's Sarsaparilla is a good, reliable medicine. Hood's Sarsaparilla Sold by druggists. $1; six for to.
