LONELY SPO T IN THE ATLANTIC To S W ïH on H orseback T is not alw ays when an act is first committed and is fresh In our minds that w e receive our most vivid impressions of it. It Is wheu recall our recollections of the event a long time afterward that the im ages and circum stances surrounding every thing done by the participants come back to us like a dream alm ost, yet withal clean-cut and clear as a eatueo. Passing through Livermore valley on the train a few weeks ago I recognized standing at the depot a pcrsou whose face brought instantly to my uiicd a flood of reminiscence. An event which occurred in 1866— just thirty-one years ago this sum m er—in which the p< rson I then saw was the principal actor flashed rapidly before my vision. He w as a boy then. He is a man now, and tim e is telling upon him. His sm all tig- ure is now slightly bent end the hair and m ustache are tinged with the frost of passing years. The little gen tleman 1 have reference to is Simon Foecalina. now a resident of Liver more. and the circum stances in winch he figured are as follow s: There Lad been a fandango at the house of J o * Livermore, otherw ise known as "Posi- tas.” at the Kancho Agua Ihierco. In the Livermore valley. The party was given In honor of the birthday of one o f the children of Joe Livermore, who at that tim e was a well-known charac ter In Alameda county. The friends and relatives of the fam ily alw ays gather on occasions of this kind, and generally manage to keep up the festivities for three or four days. Everything is free to those who honor the occasion with their pres ence. H ilarity is the order of the day and n ig h t W ine and other liquors are dealt out with a free hand, and where such is the custom trouble can not alw ays be avoided, however desir ous the host may be to preserve the peace. W henever it is given out that such a party is to be held all disreputa ble characters for miles around gather and make day and night hideous with wild debauchery, drunkenness and quarreling.

The quarrelsome fel we low ran his horse after Simon about 300 yards, and. finding that the youth had the moot agile steed and could not be caught, turned his mustang to ward the house. Simon slowly follow ed, and as he approached Filiciano su d denly w heeled almut aud made anoth er dash toward him. Agaiu the young man eluded the des perate knife-thrust. The wily Mexican again essayed to draw Simon within his clutches by pretending to have given up bis treacherous design. He rode toward the building, and Simon followed as before. Once more the would-be murderer turned ami ¡»tired forth a volley of scurrilous a bus**. Simon’s patience was evidently be coming exhausted. “1 do not deserve such talk from you, Mocb©,“ said he. “and if you run after me again 1 will protect m y s e lf f Upon heariug this Filiciano becam e very much enraged, and. exclaim ing. “Fated no tengas val or!” (You have no courage», started after Simon at full speed. This time the young man could not avoid a col lision. As Filiciano raug«*d his horse alongside of Simon’s he made a savage lunge at Simon with his knife, cutting through his coat. Had the youth t»een less alert the knife would have been driven to its very hilt in his body. The lad was now som ewhat alarmed at the persistence of Filiciano. and t*egkn to believe that the fellow was in down right earnest and meant to have his life.
