in company with another painter, wai

bouse, when oneol the hooki by whioh
the platform was suspended gave way,
throwing both men to the ground. The
fall did not injure tbem severely, but
the large iron hook struok the young
men in tbs faoe with the sharp point,
nearly tearing one ol his eyes out and
tarrying away a portion of tbs noss.
Tbs injured man was knocked entirely
senseless by tbe blow, and wai pioked up
by hie companion apparently dead. Tbe

The injared man was at once taken
home, physicians called in and the
wound at once dresssd. It is feared,
however, that the eye will be destroyed.
Tbe careless manner in whioh men trust
their lives to a hook stuok in a shingle

DOG AND LION KILLED.
A FIGHT, A FALL OVER A CLIFF
AND SLOW DEATH.
Thomae Gib.on Ha* a Hair Rais
ing Adventure at th* H*ad
or Cab la Can
yon.
San Bernardino Sun: Friday even
ing juat before dusk, Thomas Gibson,
wbo lives in Cajon paaa, caw aod par
ticipated in a hunting episode which
was tbe most exciting in his years of
experience aa a nimrod in tbe San Ber
nardino mountain!. He and bia dog
overtook a lioness, tbere was a chase,
a ahot of flue lead, a fight between tbe
domestic animal and the queen ot the
forest, a fall over tbe side of a cation, a
crushing ot bonea and mangling ot
flesh, and then the end.
Gibson arrived here yesterday morning
and told the story to a Sun reporter. He
atarted out from Sugar Pine flat with a
double-barreled shotgun, looking for
small gams, and accompanied by bia
dog, a crosa between a bound and a
coach dog. He had crossed the divide,
and about ten minutes before eundown
was entering the bead of Cable canon,
wben at the same moment he and bia
dog aaw the lioness ahead of them on
the trail. Instantly the dog atarted after
her majesty and chased ber a abort dis
tance down the canon, ahe taking to a
short oak tree whicb stood less than 30
feet from tbe edge of a precipitous bluff.
Gibaon gave ber the charge from one
barrel, which waa loaded with bird shot,
and before he could fire again the lion
waa on the ground.
Tbe dog made an attack and the next
initant the animals disappeared over
the precipice, fighting aa they went
do wn. Tbe bluff ia 250 or 300 feet high,
and ie naturally terraced at intervale of
50 or 6J feet. Before Gibson could reach
the bluff, the dog aud the lion were at
tbe bottom of tbe cation, apparently
dead. The hunter made a detour and
vat aa twilight waa cloaing in, reached
the animala. He tbinka tbey must have
struok the natural terracea in their fall,
bounding from one above to the next
below. Every bone in their bodiea
seemed to have been broken, bnt they
were both breathing wben ne reached
tbem. He ended tbeir Bufferings witb
bia shotgun. Tha only mark ol tb o
fight whicb his dog ahowed was a slit
acroaa the ear wbicb had cut it in two.
By thia time twilight had faded into
darkness, so Gibaon built a fire, re
mained in tbe cation all night, and
early in tbe morning atarted for San
Bernardino.
THE CROPS.
Th* Weather Uur.au', Report of Their
Condition.
The local weather bureau furnishes
tbe following weather-crop bulletin ot
Sonthern California, for the week end
ing Monday, December 3d:
The weather during the past week
was fair and cool, with some morning
foga in the coast districts and a light
rain in tbe San Lnie Obispo section. No
rain fell elsewhere, and owing to the
continued drought irrigation was neces
sary. The nights were cool, witb fre
quent light frosts in low places, whicb
resulted in no particular barm. Tbe
weather was favorable for completing
the harvesting of fall crops. •
A review of tbe weather during tbe
month of November, 1894, abowa tbat
tbe conditions were favorable for clos
ing np the work of fruit drying, but un
favorable for general farm operations,
because of tbe protracted drought. A
light rain fell in San Luis Obispo and
Santa Barbara counties, but it waa not
sufficient to be of lasting benefit to vege
tation. In tbe remaining counties no
rain tell, and the departure from the
average precipitation was marked. The
deficiency at Loa Angelea waa 1.48 inches,
.82 of an inch at San Diego,|about .83 ol
an incb at Riverside, and the deficiency
In the remaining eections was in about
tbe aame proportion. Night and morn
ing foga were frequent in tbe coaat dis
tricts and precipitated an appreciable
amount of moisture that was beneficial
to grass cropa and vegetables. Dry plow
ing and seeding were carried on to a
coneiderable extent, and grain sown
early in tbe coast districts did well in
spite of tbe dry weather.
The month was cooler than the aver
age in the coast districts, while in the
interior it was warmer. The tempera
ture waa 1 degree less tban tbe mean at
Los Angeles, 4 below at San Diego, 1
below at Santa Barbara, and at River
side it waa 4 degreea in excess of tbe
mean for 12 yeara. Ligbt frosts were of
quite frequent ocourrence towards the
close of the month on low expoaed
ground, bnt no particular injury was
done, a few tender vegetables only being
nipped.
