the plight of Bret Harte'a daughter with
deep sorrow.
And still true to the old open-handed
traditions of the days of gold they have
announced that they will open their
purses in her behalf.
TheAngel's Camp Chamber of Com

Barden, sent the following to those in
San Francisco Interested In the move
ment to do something for Mrs. Stol

1500 resklenta of Angel's Camp will aid
