He shot himself in the head. He gave as a reason for the attempt at suicide, that his friends had all deserted him. A dispatch to the Gazette last evening says that Tanict is still alive. He is at the French Hospital. Burglaries About. Mr. R. W. Scott's place seems to be a favorite spot for the rising generation of cut throats, highwaymen and burglars. Yesterday a thief made his entrance into the house through the window. Mrs. Scott secreted herself in a closet before the fellow entered the house, thinking that if the intruder thought the house was empty he would not make an attempt to enter. The villain passed directly through the room where Mrs. Scott was, and went into the hall. Hearing a noise behind him, he smatched a hat from the hat-rack and ran out the door. Mrs. Scott sent one of the Chinamen, at work on the farm, to town for Mr. Scott, who rode out as hastily as possible but too late to find any trace of the burglar. LATER—Officer Wartenberg returned yesterday afternoon with the follow that burglarized the house of R.W. Scott. We rather wish he had not brought him. We had a pretty fair burglar story fixed up. We were prepared to gaze upon the horrible countenance of a blood-thirsty murderer, desperado and house-breaker—a kind of a human gorilla, armed to the teeth; and when Officer Wartenberg came into court with one of the dirtiest, raggedest, half-starved boys we ever read or heard tell of, we were inclined to be disgusted with the whole business, and think that if our friend Scott couldn't raise a more respectable burglar than that, he deserved to lose his hat. The boy seemed to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and gave his name as Henry Pottkar. From every appearance a Justice's Court was no new place for him, and he replied quite promptly to the Judge's question, "not guilty." The case will come up for trial this morning. [FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.] 29 Anyone having one or two loads of green feed to sell cheap can hear of a purchaser by applying at this office. and upon proceeding to it jumped over the fence and plain that there have been characters about town who looking after.

The very general complaint which has been made in regard to the location of the new railroad depot at Los Angeles, has impressed the railroad officials with the necessity of accommodating their patrons by having a flag station at the old depot. The proper representations have been made to the General Office, and Superintendent Hewitt is inclined to think that his request for a flag station will be acceded to. Work on the improvements at the Anaheim Alden Factory is progressing rapidly. The new boiler has been laid, and the additional evaporator will be finished in about two weeks. The factory will then commence operations for the season. The proprietors have already contracted for a large quantity of potatoes, and unless prevented by unforeseen difficulties the factory will continue to run on vegetables until the grape crop matures. Capt. Polhemus, of Wilmington, referring to an article in the Express relative to the deepening of the channel at Wilmington, furnishes the following items: "On the 7th of this month the schooner 'Robert and Minnie' arrived with 150,000 feet of lumber. The tug steamer's machinery being out of repair, she sailed with a full cargo, without assistance, from the anchorage of the wharf. On the 20th the barkentine 'Melanothon' arrived with 519 tons of coal, was towed to the wharf, and is now discharging direct into the cars. The barkentine is 150 feet long, and is the largest vessel and cargo that has ever come to this wharf." A large amount of stock will be shipped on Friday by Don Juan Forster. A band of horses for Government use in Arizona camped near town last night. Mr. Geo. Miller is making alterations and improvements in his restaurant. A large number of health seekers are now at the Anaheim Landing. Rev. A. F. White, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles, has tendered his resignation. A number of parties interested in the now water ditch scheme went to Los Angeles yesterday. If there is one thing we admire above another, it is to cross the beautiful street made by the dirt hulled from Baeks’ collar. The dust is only about six inches deep. A letter was received last night from Mr. Adolph Rimpau, stating that he had arrived with his flocks at St. Thomas, Nevada, [FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.] Anyone having one or two loads of green feed to sell cheap can hear of a purchaser by applying at this office. We are informed that Surveyor Hansen will come to Anaheim in about two weeks to finish the survey of the town. Judge Clark was busy yesterday taking the census report of Fairview School District, and consequently his office was closed during the day. Mr. J. Helmsen has just received a large consignment of those splendid sansages for which his establishment is so justly celebrated. One of the Marshal’s prisoners attempted to escape from him yesterday afternoon. He was captured in the vineyard of Mr. Langenberger. The extension to the Anaheim Water Ditch will be finished to-day, and our vineyards will again rejoice in abundance of water. In the case of Robinson, trustee, vs. O’Neil, in the District Court, judgment by consent was ordered to be entered for restitution of premises, but without costs. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 1 case boots, 1 box butter, 11 kegs beer, 26 skis spuds, 46 pkgs hh goods, 1 box butter, 1 box personal effects. Mr. G. I. Turner is running the City Bakery in splendid shape. He now keeps constantly on hand fresh crackers from the California Co.’s works, and all descriptions of fancy cakes. The Sheriff’s officers made a raid upon a Chinese gambling house in Negro Alley on Wednesday night and captured thirty-nine of the gamblers, together with the checks and implements of the game. It will be seen by reference to our marriage notices that our young friend D. E. Miles has taken a new departure. We extend our congratulations to the young couple and wish them the best of prosperity. The Santa Ana Times says that a petition is in circulation and will be presented to the next Board of Supervisors, asking for the formation of a new township to be called Jackson Township, including Tustin City and the San Joaquin. The petition is being numerously signed.

Rev. A. F. White, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles, has tendered his resignation. A number of parties interested in the new water ditch scheme went to Los Angeles yesterday. If there is one thing we admire above another, it is to cross the beautiful street made by the dirt hanled from Barks' collar. The dust is only about six inches deep. A letter was received last night from Mr. Adolph Rimpau, stating that he had arrived with his flocks at St. Thomas, Nevada, without meeting with any serious losses. The first watermelons of the season were brought to town yesterday, and sold for 25 cents each. If a farmer can get two bits apiece for watermelons he should not complain of hard times. M. Putney, in boring an artesian well for Mr. Omri Bullis, near Compton, on Friday, at a depth of 335 feet struck a stream of water of such power that it throw rocks, one of which weighed four pounds. George Pridham, of Los Angeles, was thrown from a buggy in that city on Tuesday evening, and was very badly bruised. The Star says it will be some time before he will be able to walk about. The Democratic County Central Committee will meet at the Court House on Saturday, July 7th, at 1 P.M., for the purpose of making the preliminary arrangements for the campaign. At a meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 199, I. O. O. F., held on Tuesday evening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: A. J. Brown, N. G.; J. H. Gooch, V. G.; H. S. Austin, R. S.; H. McDermott, P. S.; P. C. McKinnie, Treasurer. Mr. Edwards, of Santa Ana, thinks that there will be quite an exodus from that place to Anaheim on the Fourth of July. None of the towns in the southern portion of the county except Anaheim will have a celebration on that day, and the probabilities are that the influx of our neighbors will be immense. Tamist, the Los Angeles Councilman who has been undergoing a preliminary examination on a charge of forgery, attempted The Santa Ana Times says that a petition is in circulation and will be presented to the next Board of Supervisors, asking for the formation of a new township to be called Jackson Township, including Tustin City and the San Joaquin. The petition is being numerously signed. The young specimen of total depravity who burglarized Mr. Scott's residence on Wednesday, and absconded with the tile that was wont to adorn the high and massive forehead of our legal friend, was brought before Justice Bailey and confronted with the hat which he had sworn he did not take, but which the Marshal had found buried in Mrs. Bremermann's vineyard. The young scamp said he supposed it would be the best thing for him to plead guilty, and guilty he did plead. Justice Bailey bound him over to appear before the Grand Jury. Burglars in Anaheim. About half-past eleven o'clock Saturday night a burglar attempted to enter the house of Mr. Chas Wille, on Second North street. An attempt was made to enter at the window. Not being able to raise the sash, the robber throw his whole weight against it, and the window fell inside, startling the occupants from their sleep by the noise of the breaking glass and the fall of the sash. Mr. Wille seized his shot-gun and started in pursuit. In attempting to get through the window the robber stepped on the broken glass, cutting his feet and ankles in the most shocking manner. The man ran out beyond the Catholic church and jumped over a fence and disappeared. As Mr. Wille was returning to the house he heard cries from the cottage on the corner of Centre and Second North street, calling "Police!" Bohn! Police!" It seemed that an attempt had also been made to enter there, but in this instance the robber was also foiled. As a gentlaman was passing the house of Mr. L. Dravson, on Lemon street, he saw a man standing on the porch. He inquired of him what he was doing there. The man replied "nothing," and immediately started off toward Centre street; this was almost midnight. Subsequently Mr. Dravson's family were alarmed by the sound of some one moving in the yard near the horses, The Olio Literary association of Newport gives the Baptist church on should have a full hour Robt.

Gazette:—In a conversation with the members of the Anaheim Brass Band last evening, it was disclosed that a bass drum and a musical drum have been ordered, to be here Thursday evening, and that parties were ready to play them on the occasion of the grand musical picnic on the Fourth of July for the benefit of our home Band. Having the positive assurances of these facts, I cannot refrain from giving the highest credit to our Band for the energy displayed for the promotion of the musical entertainment of that day. The band will be composed of eleven pieces and surely will prove to be the greatest musical treat Anaheim ever had up to this day. Shall the people of Anaheim patronize them as they deserve? It is to be hoped that all possible encouragement will be given, and that on that day the whole town will turn out to enjoy the melodious strains of our home Band, as also the terpsichorean patriotic evolutions of that day and evening. Turn out one and all and give our Band a fair expression of our appreciation and a great bump on their benefit. Real Estate Transfers. F. M.

Lady in great haste—"Mr. —— where will I find a doctor? My child is very sick." Mr. —— "Dr. —— is the only onem town just now." Lady—"Oh, he is an Atheist! I won't have him. Give me some chamomile and lobellia." Result—Child died Moral—It is better to have an orthodox doctor or no doctor at all, than to recover at the hands of an infidel. This part of the country has been infested with female tramps for the last few days. P. Watson started for San Francisco last Monday to receive a legacy which was left him from his father's estate in England. Mr. Oscar Baldy, of Los Angeles, performed the operation of tracheostomy on "Old Ash," and now he is in a fair way to recover. By the way, we see by the published notice of the Republican primaries, that "all voters who are in favor of the Republican party, as represented by the administration of President Hayes," are invited to meet and elect delegates to a county Convention, etc. Now what is to become of the Republican voter who refuses to endorse Hayes policy? Disguse and gloss it over as you may, the great mass of the Republican party view it with alarm and distrust; and besides, should it turn out well, it is in a transition state which should prevent any party, much less an irresponsible committee, endorsing any man's policy. Now, would it go down with the "voters" if they were compelled to endorse Sargent in order to be able to vote at a primary? Endorse no man or his policy, but let every man who believes in Republican principles attend the primaries and vote as a Republican, believing in them regardless of Hayes.' Sargent's Carr's or any other man's policy. The last defunct editor of The News thinks that it is a good thing for suffering humanity that poor Yorick has appeared upon the sphere of action. Mr. Joel Young of this place manufactured 7,000 gallons of wine last year. The festival held at Sycamore Hall for the benefit of the Baptist Church was quits a success.

One hears knots of men canvassing the prospects of this, that and the other aspirant for political honors, and every one is confident his man could carry the day while any other nomination would result in party defeat. This interest is somewhat increased by the call for a Republican primary election to be held Saturday, July 14th. Westminster elects two delegates, Garden Grove one, and Fountain Valley one. We do not know who will become delegates. Election of School Trustees Saturday. Westminster district elects one Trustee—polls open from 2 to 6 P.M. Bolsa Grande district elects two Trustees—one for one year and one for three. Polls open from 2 to 4 P.M. at the school house. On reading your Garden Grove letter last week we were impressed with the truth of the old adage that "you must go away from home to hear the news." No one here knows of any "discord," and if any exists it must be in the mind of "James." There is only one candidate in the field, Mr. H. Stevens. Afew days ago we visited Swamp and Santa Ana sections. In passing Mr. Wimmer's place, in the willows, we learned that he had gone to San Luis Obispo county for, and was now on his way back with his stock. He will carry on the dairy business here, and having had large experience in San Luis, we are confident it will be a success. He has abundance of pure water for stock (irrigating and household purposes), brought from a cienega near his claim. It is highly gratifying that men of intelligence and means are buying claims and locating on the disputed territory in the willows and on the mesa. Where corn has been planted it looks remarkably promising, and if we can judge of future prosperity by what is now seen, that entire section will become a thrifty settlement. In the Swamp the corn is not looking as well as usual. Much of it is large and still of a good green; but the leaves seem shriveled and wilted. The fields are "spotted" and the growth irregular.

It is none of our funeral. We think that Mr.H.C Wiley is the coming man. A petition is in circulation on this side of the river, addressed to the Board of Directors of the Semi-Tropic Water Co., requesting them to remove the present lessees of the Chapman ditch, and appoint Mr. Andrew Mills in his stead for the present season.

Your able Westminster correspondent called on us on last Friday. He had been making a trip through the Swamp. Henry O. Carey, the political economist, says that "President Hayes will have to take a great many steps backward before long." The young swells in this vicinity wear collars that jab them under the eyes every time they turn their heads around. The establishment of a free dispensary in Los Angeles calls to mind the fact that the first free dispensary established in America was in Philadelphia in 1786. Deacon — spent last Sunday at the sea-side, where he contracted a severe stomach ache from eating unreasonable claims. There are other remedies for this disease, but the Deacon took brandy, as he had many times before. And thereby hangs a tale. Who is "San Diego" of the Times is the query that agitates the minds of a couple of gentlemen in this place. Mr. T. J. Ellis is in this section of county at the present writing. He says he hasn't time to electioneer. M. F. Parker was in from Orange last Friday. He says that Judge McGibbon will have no opposition in that place for Justice of the Peace. The Judge will run well in this precinct. Candidates for constable are increasing every day. Messrs. Dawson, Wilkin, Ott, Morse, Tichenal, (Sr. and Jr.), Butler, Wolf, Smith, Farrar, Saunders and Fritz Reuter are all talked of, and some of them are canvassing their chances. No new candidates have appeared that we know of for Justice of the Peace in this precinct or Tustin. Mr. Sadio Orvis Foster commenced teaching a select school in this place last Monday. Mr. John R. Paul has been seriously ill. A surprise party of the most pleasant character took place last Monday evening, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. G. Spargeon, in their newly completed residence, Messrs. French, Stafford, Roper and Hamphreys with territory in the willows and on the mesa. Where corn has been planted it looks remarkably promising, and if we can judge of future prosperity by what is now seen, that entire section will become a thrifty settlement. In the Swamp the corn is not looking as well as usual. Much of it is large and still of a good green; but the leaves seem shriveled and wilted. The fields are "spotted" and the growth irregular. Land there ranges from $100 upwards, and transfers are frequent. The Mormons are steadily increasing in numbers; they have a church and over a hundred members. There is a fine body of land between the Swamp and Santa Ana and Tustin. And no tract of land can be better situated or average of better quality than the San Joaquin rancho. With water to irrigate, these lands would be second to none. On the lower lands artesian wells are easily obtained, but upon the bench, where the best soil is found, there is not enough water to irrigate. About Santa Ana and Tustin, where last year they had immense crops of barley and wheat, the fields are almost barren. Corn that a few weeks ago produced more corn cut and ruined by the heat and wind. A leading merchant informed us that dealers will have to carry their customers through until another harvest. We stopped about two miles south of Santa Ana to see Mr. Andrews' big well, and were greatly surprised to see so much water flowing from it. It was capped, and is flowing only about one-fifth of its volume. But a ditch three and a half feet wide at the bottom was running a rapid stream four inches deep. When the cap is removed the well throws a stream the full size of the pipe—6 inches—43 inches above the top of the pipe, and the pipe is 8 feet above the ground. The water rises with such force that when they first tried to cap it, boxes of sand, etc., weighing 150 pounds, were lifted by the stream. Mr. Andrews unscrewed the cap, turning on all that the ditch would carry, and had astrong running stream 3½ feet on the bottom, 4½ feet on the top, and 13 inches deep. The water has been carried three miles, and if there were ditches it would run more than double the distance. There is enough to run considerable machinery, and we wish it would be so utilized. This well is 200 feet deep, the last 100 feet being through blue clay, and we advise all who have not seen it to do so. It will pay you. In the Swamp three sets of well tools are at work and three more at Santa Ana. Called on Bion, and found him prospering. It was our purpose to comment on Prof. Hilgard's plaster theory for reclaiming alkali land, which you copied from the Rural Press, but we see in the last Burial that Mr. Olden has replied to the Prof. and touches the main point, or what most persons admit...

WE ARE INFORMED THAT A CERTAIN WIND MILL, called the "Aldrich Mill," is being offered for sale in this vicinity as an improvement upon the Ellipse. For the protection of those who might ignorantly purchase it, we desire to publicly caution all against buying and paying for any such Wind Mill as they will be called on two occasions pay for the same thing. The Aldrich Wind Mill infringes directly upon at least three of our Patents which are recognized all over the State, under which a dozen licenses are now granted. The Aldrich mill has no license for the use of our patent, and we shall hold all parties buying or selling it, to the full extent of the law. To parties holding the Aldrich mill or about to purchase it, we would advise their sending 20 cents to Washington and procure a copy of the Aldrich patent. Send for W. H. Aldrich's patent on Wind Mill dated July 6th, 1875 and you will find it calls for the middle slats inside his wheel, that are supposed to act in place of our side rane, and the entire working and regulating device come from other mills and are not patented claimed by Aldrich, but are infringements upon other patents. A little careful investigation will reveal the extent of the Aldrich patent, and may save some honest purchaser half the price of his mill, Mr. C. P. Hoag, o-San Francisco, is our only authorized agent on the Pacific Coast. We make this public statement in order that no one may further plead ignorance as their excuse for using our patent, and so box off the penalty. ECLIPSE WIND MILL CO.
