ANAHEIM GAZETTE. SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1871. OUR REPLY. A Mr. Lynch, Agent of the Land Company, has posted a small printed slip on the Pioneer Livery Stable, in Anaheim, stating that the editor of this paper has attempted to black-mail him and his Company. He also attempts to ridicule the undersigned as a lawyer and editor. Our reply is, that this Lynch is a liar, a coward, and a dirty dog. G. W. BARTER. The City Election. The forthcoming City election promises to be one of considerable interest if not excitement. Three tickets are in the field, and the friends of each seem bent upon winning. In several cases the same candidates have been selected on all three of the tickets, and it does seem as if they at least had success insured them. The candidates for Mayor, are both excellent gentlemen, and the city will be safe under the administration of whichever one is elected. Three candidates are up for City Marshal, namely: Horn, Hill and Byrd. The latter is almost an entire stranger to the citizens of Anaheim. The two former are well known, and our people will no doubt be able to discriminate between the two as to their fitness for the office. It affords us pleasure, also, to say a word favorable to Mr. Horn, and to call pub Caucusing for the City Officers on Monday week. The forty-five people present whom were citizens unaccountable as it may ballots cast in some case round sixty, thus indicating a system of "stuffing" ballots. After manipulations best known to the party lowing ticket resulted For Mayor—II Krow For Common Council Bittner; Tim: Booge; J. Champlin. For City Assessor—R For City Attorney—J (no opposition). For City Marshal—T For City Treasurer— In adopting the abs Ballots cast for Mayor Assessor, Attorney were unquestionably void of Shonaniga contest took place friends of J Keller, and for the Council resulting on ballot however Champlin. Mr. Th. R put, up and considering nearly all his personal large vote, losing five votes. Mr. Luedke regained quite a number be safe under the administration of whichever one is elected. Three candidates are up for City Marshal, namely: Horn, Hill and Byrd. The latter is almost an entire stranger to the citizens of Anaheim. The two former are well known, and our people will no doubt be able to discriminate between the two as to their fitness for the office. It affords us pleasure, also, to say a word favorable to Mr. Horn, and to call public attention to the fact that he is a hard working, sober and reliable citizen, physically able and thoroughly willing to fulfill the duties of the office. Slanders. The News of yesterday, copies a batch of slanders from the Napa Reporter, relating to Hon. B. D. Wilson—and his Congressional prospects. The Reporter positively snarls because Wilson likes good dinners, and demands pay for his services in traveling over the State on Legislative Committee matters. The item is a lame attempt at ridicule and one, which in the attempt, is the most ridiculous. A Citizens Ticket. Editor "Gazette".—The undersigned citizens, respectfully offer to the property owners of Anaheim, the ticket annexed hereto. Not wishing to appear in a caucus, of ballot-stuffing rowdies, devoid of honor or responsibility, we have refrained from any participation in the two disgraceful farces lately held under that name.

KUELP. Signed by Twenty-two Citizens. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday morning, April 16th, 1871, Justice Davis was informed that a man had died in a hay yard in the rear of the French Restaurant. He went at once to ascertain who it was, and the cause of his death. It proved to be an old Mexican, called Francisco, who had for some time divided his time between drinking and sheep herding, and it was evident that death had ensued from an over dose of "forty-yard" whiskey. There were no marks of violence, and nothing to indicate foul play. It was asserted by some that two twenty dollar pieces had been seen in his possession the day before, but the strictest search failed to reveal a trace of any worldly effects whatever. As the deceased had no friends, the body was taken charge of and buried by Justice Davis, at the County's expense. FOUND.—We are pleased to announce that Mr. Gilbert Huntington has recovered his pocket-book, lately lost, and which contained drafts amounting to $1,400, and other valuable papers. It was found on the road to Los Angeles, by a Mexican. The Pickwick Club meet this evening as usual. Focusing for the City Election. On Saturday last, agreeable to call, elections was held for the purpose of electing city officers, to be elected Monday week. There were about five people present, the most of whom were citizens and voters; but, accountable as it may appear, the votes cast in some cases numbered a hundred sixty, thus indicating that a rude form of "stuffing" had been indulged. These manipulations of various kinds, known to the participants, the following ticket resulted: Mayor—II Kroeger. Common Council—P. Davis; A. Garner; Tim Booge; J. P. Zeyn; E. W. Champlin. City Assessor—R Melrose. City Attorney—J F.A Heyermar (opposition). City Marshal—T. T. Hill. City Treasurer—R Heiman. Adopting the above ticket, the votes cast for Mayor, Councilmen, Secretary, Attorney and Treasurer are unquestionably fair and deserved of Shonanigan." A spirited contest took place between the heads of J Keller, and E.W. Champlin; the Council resulting in a tie. A second ballot however won the field for Champlin. Mr. Th. Reiser's name was up and considering the absence of all his personal friends, recieved a vote, losing the nomination by votes. Mr. Luedke and Mr. Fischer ordered a number of votes. Mr. Westminster April 20, 1871. Editor Gazette:--Yesterday at 3 o'clock, the first sermon was preached at this place by Rev. L. P. Webber, (1st Kings, chap. xxviii, verse 21.) "If the Lord be God, follow Him." The text, as well as the sermon and prayers, were well chosen, and appropriate for that or any other similar occasion. The congregation was not large, but far exceeds the congregations of Anaheim, in proportion to the inhabitants. There were present 23 souls, male and female, including children. Some people appear to be very ignorant of the locality of Westminster. For their information, I will state as near as I can the center of the colony, viz.: About one and one half or two miles from the road south leading from Anaheim to Anaheim Landing; five miles from the Landing; and eight miles from Anaheim City. These distances will about intersect the center of Westminster. The improvements of the place are six dwelling-houses up and inhabited, and one in course of erection. A water ditch and dam has been made for irrigation, and the water is now running in the ditch. Considerable land has been plowed, grain sowed, fruit trees transplanted: such as walnut, lemon, orange, almond and some strawberries. Several kinds of vegetables are in the ground. The land is rich and easy worked, and there is nothing wanting to make this a desirable home but labor, rain and wood. Game abounds here, in and around the lagunas, and there are thousands of duck, curlew, snine; and all over Santa Ana, Editor Gazette: McFadden, at their south of Santa Ana taking a good quality water by boring only to water rising to the feet above the earth; the first effort to obey south of the Santa Ana success has encouraged others to try the artesian wells; they will be duty reported. There has been a real estate recent Mr. G Huntington both sold tracts of land per acre, unimproved and sold three more dollars per acre. Also sold a lot of two to a gentlemanly loan name of Johnson, or Johnson intends to entire lot. The M.E Church early meeting in Saturday day and Sunday, at ures were taken to said town, for their The last rain was the season in these wheat are beginning last few days, and encouraged in cons of Shonanigan." A spirited contest took place between the heads of J Keller and E W Champlin; the Council resulting in a tie. A second ballot however won the field for Champlin. Mr Th Reiser's name was up and considering the absence of only all his personal friends, recieved a vote, losing the nomination by votes. Mr Luedke and Mr Fischer received quite a number of votes. Mr It and Mr Korn were suggested for Council, but those gentlemen being absent, peremptorily declined. In the convass for Mayor, the names Kroeger, John Fischer and S. J is were put up, resulting in favor Champlin; when, on motion of Mr It, the nomination of Mr Kroeger made unanimous by acclamation.vious to the first ballot, the name of Odore Rimpan was brought up for favor, but that gentleman declined. THE SECOND CAUCUS. On Wednesday evening another caucus was held, which appeared to be opposed of the same people who had stipulated the previous one. Whether or not were dissatisfied with a portion of their former selection or not, does not appear. However, the conduct was orderly, and the "stuffing" insisted in only in a moderate degree. Mr John Fischer was appointed Sirman, and R Melrose Secretary. Fischer stated the object of the sitting, and called for nominations for office of Mayor. S. J Davis and F. Heyerman having been nominated were balloted for, and S J Davis giving a majority of the votes was declared the nominee. The nominations for Councilmen then took place, resulting in the nomination of Ms. Fischer, Champlin, Macy, Zeyn Bittner. For Assessor, Messrs. Melrose and S. II. Dyer were put up balloted for and Melrose receive a majority of the votes cast, was awarded the nominee.

Porter & McFadden, at their place two miles south of Santa Ana, succeeded in getting a good quality of Artesian water by boring only forty feet deep, the water rising to the height of eleven feet above the earth's surface. This is the first effort to obtain artesian water south of the Santa Ana river, and its success has encouraged a number of others to try the experiment of boring artesian wells, the success of which will be duly reported. There has been several transactions in real estate recently, in this vicinity; Mr. G. Huntington and Mr. C. Tustio both sold tracts of land for twenty dollars per acre, unimproved. The same land sold, three months ago, for twelve dollars per acre. Moses W. Bratford also sold a lot of twenty acres of land, to a gentleman looking man by the name of Johnson, of Los Nietos. Mr. Johnson intends to plant trees on the entire lot. The M. E. Church South held a quarterly meeting in Santa Ana, last Saturday and Sunday, at which time measures were taken to build a church in said town, for their accommodation. The last rain was one of the best of the season in these parts. Barley and wheat are beginning to look fine, the last few days, and farmers feel much encouraged in consequence thereof. X.- X.
