1 min readWith great sorrow we read in the San Rafael Journal that our most dear friend Governor Pacheco has suffered another severe hemorrhage attack. Mr. Pacheco has been examined several times by physicians, who thus far cannot account for the source of the bleeding.
We are very sorry to learn that our respectable friend the Hon. Don Pablo de la Guerra, District Judge of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo, finds himself somewhat gravely ill: the latest news, however, brings us the pleasant assurance that his condition has already begun to improve. We hope he will soon recover his usual good health.
