WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...OCT. 6, 1883 Kleinigkeiten. The Supreme Court will convene in Los Angeles on Monday. Mr. John Bach of San Francisco is stopping in town as the guest of Mr. Korn. The October schedule of the P. C. S. S. Co. is published on the fourth page. The ordinance licensing gambling was defeated by the Los Angeles Council, every member voting against its enactment. The average temperature during the past month was five degrees warmer than any September in the past ten years. Mr. D. M. Baker of the Santa Ana Standard called at our office on Saturday while we were unfortunately absent. Mr. Chas. Hansen of North Anaheim is having a California Windmill put up by the agent, S. B. Smith. A school in which the German language is thoroughly taught has been established by Mrs. Frobling. See advertisement. The commission of Richard Moirose as Notary Public having expired on Sept. 16th, Governor Stoneman has reappointed him for the ensuing term of two years. Mr. Kenyon Cox and wife left yesterday for New York, where business interests will require Mr. Cox's attention probably until next April, when he will return here. C. A. Reynolds who shot and killed Pollard at Downey some weeks ago, rendered himself to the authorities and has —The result of the investigation into the murder of Henry Amadon in Los Angeles is that John Forster, the alleged paramour of Mrs. Amadon, is held on a charge of murder, without bail; Mrs. Amadon is held in $2000 bail as accessory after the fact; Mrs. Greenleaf, her sister, is held on the same charge with bail fixed at $1500; Tom Billings is discharged for want of evidence. The defense will probably be that Amadon had threatened to kill Forster on sight and that in attempting to carry out his threat Forster shot him in self-defense. The testimony of W. W. Smith, the paramour of Mrs. Greenleaf, was in substance as follows. We quote from the Herald. He said that he came in on a train from Mojave a short time before the murder, and met John Forster near the depot. They went into a saloon and got a drink, when he and Forster started down the track towards Amadon's house. When near the house they met Mrs. Amadon and her sister, Mrs. Greenleaf, who were dressed in men's clothes and standing near some trees. As they were standing in the street, talking, Forster beside Mrs. Amadon and Smith beside Mrs. Greenleaf, they saw the deceased, Amadon, approaching. One of them said Henry was coming, when Mrs. Amadon said that could not be possible, for he was not to return till in the afternoon. Amadon passed nearly beyond them, when he recognized Smith, and said, "Hallo! Is that you, Billy?" Smith said "Yes," and Amadon then turned back towards him to shake hands. As he passed Forster the latter shot him, and he fell forward on his hands and knees, and drew a pistol, from which he fired two shots without effect, and also cried out "Murder." After Forster had fired twice Amadon fell flat on the ground, when Forster went to him, and putting his pistol to his neck, sent a bullet through the jugular vein. The four persons then ran away, Mrs. Amadon to her house, and the others down the street. Mrs. Greenleaf soon turned back to the house, and Smith and Forster came down Alameda street. When at the corner of Ducommun street, Forster asked Smith to take his pistol and hide it, but he declined, and told Forster to go and bury it. They then separated, and stayed around town till their arrest in the forenoon. Before the murder Forster told Smith that, if Amadon should discover him, Forster, in company with Mrs. Amadon he should kill him at sight, and it appears that he carried out his declaration. After the killing Forster asked Smith if he should "give him away," and he answered that "if he was called on he would have to tell the truth."

Mr. Kenyon Cox and wife left yesterday for New York, where business interests will require Mr. Cox's attention probably until next April, when he will return here. C. A. Reynolds who shot and killed Pollard at Downey some weeks ago, rendered himself to the authorities and has been held to await trial on a charge of murder. He is out on $15,000 bail. On next Wednesday morning Mrs. Fesenfeld and family leave for New Tacoma, W. T., to join Mr. Fesenfeld, who has established a very lucrative business in that growing city. The death of Mrs. J. W. Clark on Tuesday evening was the culmination of a long and painful illness. The funeral services took place at the family residence on Wednesday, but the interment was had at Pasadena. Now is the time of year to gather in the hay from the field, last it get wet. We have private and authentic information that the wet season will soon begin, hence everything of a spoilable nature should be at once put under cover. The rate of taxation in this county is the same as last year—$1.40 on the $100. In Anaheim and Los Angeles, however, the 15 cents levied for road purposes is deducted, taking the rate in those incorporated towns but $1.25 on the $100. Daniel W. Wells has filed for record in the County Recorder's office, notice of claim to water in the Santa Ana river in Section 12, Township 6 south, Range 11 west. Mrs. Mary Packwood also filed notice of claim to water in said river on the south line of the same section, township and range. The docket in Justice Bailey's Court shows the following record for the week: Manuel Flores, disturbing the peace, sentenced to imprisonment for 60 days; Richard Glassie, same offense, imprisonment for 30 days; Solferino Justo, discharging pistol and disturbing the peace, imprisonment for 60 days. At the meeting of the Farmers' Ditch Company of Orangethorpe, held on Saturday, the following Board of Directors was elected: A. J. Mead, W. J. Smith, W. M. Bailey, S. B. Smith and C. H. Zeyn. The Board organized by electing W. J. Smith, President; A. J. Mead, Vice President, C. H. Zeyn, Secretary; S. B. Smith, Treasurer. No action was taken in regard to building a new ditch. The Board of Town Trustees met on Wednesday. C.H. Arthur was appointed Fire Commissioner, Vice Northam resigned. The Commissioners and the Committee on Public Improvements were authorized to remove the fire bell to a more convenient locality. The engineer was ordered to give instructions to some member of the fire company in the management of the steam pump, so that in case of fire there will be no delay in pumping an ample supply of water. The Fire Commissioners were instructed to appoint a janitor, whose duty it shall be to keep the Town Hall in order and care for the fire apparatus; for which he shall receive reasonable compensation. A communication was read from Dr. Ellis in which he requested the Board to inform him who informed them that he intended to bring diphtheric patients to town. There are plenty of buyers of walnuts anxious to contract for the new crop at 8½ cents per pound, a price which gives the grower an enormous profit. Mr. Kroeger has in his yard twenty walnut trees from which he sold last year $200 worth of nuts, at the rate of 6½ cents per pound. The only drawback to planting a walnut grove is in the length of time which intervenes between the planting and the bearing of the trees. The trees seldom bear much of a crop under ten years; and as in looking into the future a decade seems an age, the prospect has operated against the general planting of groves. The friends of Mr. Adolph Rimpan, to the number of over thirty," surprised" him on Wednesday evening by taking possession of his domicile and proceeding to enjoy themselves in the most hilarious manner imaginable—proceedings which were ably seconded by the host and hostess. The prosecution for the onslaught was found in the fact that it was the thirty-second anniversary of Mr. Rimpau's birth, and his friends took this pleasant way of wishing him many happy returns. The following Board of Directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigating Company was elected last Tuesday: W.H. Spurgeon, of Santa Ana; — Judson, of Tustin; J.B. Parker, R.B.

No action was taken in regard to building a new ditch. Although the new postal notes can be purchased at the Anaheim postoffice the public are cautioned against using them, as they are not receivable by bankers and business men generally. They have been practically tabooed owing to the ease with which they can be altered and counterfeited. It is evident that the Government will be forced to "crawfish" in this matter of postal notes, the same as it was compelled to do with the recent coinage of nickels, which were so similar to five-dollar gold pieces as to be readily mistaken for the latter. The experiment of shipping grapes to the Chicago market from the Santa Ana Valley has unfortunately proved a failure this year, and some of the shippers are out of pocket. It seems that large consignments were forwarded from Sacramento about the time our grapes were sent on, and the market being overstocked, prices fell, and later shipments could hardly be disposed of. Some of the leading growers are of the opinion that Sacramento dealers are endeavoring to prevent the shipment of Southern California fruit to the East.—Times. Dr. J. M. Hinkle, Surgeon in Charge of the National Surgical Institute, supplied with apparatus will be at the Pico House, Los Angeles, October 12th and 13th, 1883, for the purpose of examining and taking patients for this institution, known as Indianapolis Institute, which is known throughout the country for its success in the treatment of diseases of the Spine, Limb, Club-Foot, Paralysis, Piles, Fistula and all Chronic Disease. Address, 319 Bush St., San Francisco, Cal. The following Board of Directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigating Company was elected last Tuesday: W. H. Spurgeon, of Santa Ana; — Judson, of Tustin; J. B. Parker, R. B. Guthrie and S. Kust, of Orange. Mr. Spurgeon was re-elected President. The barn of Dr. White at Pasadena was destroyed by fire, and two horses stabled therein were burned to death. No insurance. A boy fired a gun in the vicinity, and it is supposed that a burning wad set fire to the combustible material. A lively rain fell in the northern counties last Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and came as far south as Fresno. Some damage was done to crops. The St. Helena Star says that the damage to the grape crop of Napa county was very slight. The Los Angeles Cracker Factory has temporarily suspended operations owing to scarcity of water. It is reported that several dairies will shortly shut down from the same cause. One of Dreyfus & Co.'s teams, driven by Charles Klose, was frightened on last Saturday evening and ran away, throwing the driver to the ground. He was quite severely bruised. Messrs. Hudson & Co., real estate agent, report the sale of fifty acres in the Yorba settlement from Mrs. Morrison to R. M. Mackie for $3500. Mr. Theo Reiser will leave to-day for San Francisco to attend the session of the Grand Lodge of F. and A. M., which convenes on the 9th instant. THE COURT'S DECISION. We do not deem an apology necessary for surrendering so much of our space to the publication of the Supreme Court decision in the water case. To get the decision, over twenty-five thousand dollars have been expended, and such a costly article should not be at once relegated to obscurity. The people who have paid so much for it, should cut it out of this paper and have it framed. One of the many criticisms that have been passed upon it is that it is not lengthy and explicit enough, considering the magnitude of the interests involved. On the contrary we believe "its a God's mercy" that Justice Ross stopped when he did; had he kept on writing much more he would undoubtedly have found that Anaheim had no right to the water at all. It will be noticed that towards the close of the decision Justice Ross says that plaintiffs are entitled to such portion of the water of the river appertaining to the ranch upon which Anaheim is situated as is sufficient for the irrigation of Anaheim. This is the one solitary fly-speck of comfort in the entire decision, but even that is wiped out by Justice Thornton, who in his concurring opinion says that "the rights of the parties are at least equal; neither has made out a claim superior to the other." Having been promised publication a legal criticism of the lecision, we abstain from any analytical review of it. But there are one or two points to which we desire to advert. The recommendation with which Justice Ross closes his opinion is at once sensible and outrageous. Sensible—because events have proven that it would have been far better to have applied the money which has been expended in litigation to the perfection of the water system; outrageous—because advice of that kind is grossly improper in a judicial decision. It is highly prejudicial to the case of the plaintiffs, and its expression debars the Judge giving it from ever again reviewing the case if, unfortunately, it shall again be brought before the Court. But having advised a compromise "upon an equitable basis" why did he not go further and state plainly what, in his opinion, is an equitable basis? If the parties to the controversy cannot agree to the use of the water, an appeal to the Courts must again Board of Supervisors. MUNDAY, Oct. 1st, 1883.

In the matter of the San Pedro road through the land of E. N. McDonald et al. in Wilmington road district, a committee of two, in conjunction with Supervisor Giroux, appointed to visit the premises. Supervisors Osborn and Waldron appointed said committee. In the matter of the petition of A. E. Putney, for right to dig well in the Rose road, referred to the District Attorney for an opinion as to whether the Board has power to grant said petition. In the matter of the Lanterman road, Supervisors Giroux, Waldron and Osborn appointed a committee to examine and report on this matter. In the matter of the New bill road, Norfolk county surpassed and $50 allowed. PACIFIC COAST NEWS. Ira Emmons of Eureka, Nevada, accidentally shot and killed himself while hunting. The family of S. H. Drachman of Tucson were seriously but not fatally poisoned by eating canned brook trout. It is reported that Governor Stanford offered General Bidwell a million and a half for his Chico ranch, which was refused. Adjutant-General Cosby was arrested at Rocklin, by Constable Stephen Crow on Placer county, for alleged violation of the game law. The Grand Lodge of Good Templars was in session in San Francisco during the week. There are 10,219 active male members in this State and 8,654 female members. Lient. Leef, a British naval officer at Victoria, B.C., drove his horse into a ditch in the night and was fatally kicked by the frightened animal. Charles Lambert had both arms broken while riding a race at the Mendocino and Lake District Fair. He was thrown from his horse. David Morgan, while coupling cars at Montpelier, I.T., had three of his fingers mashed. A physician was called to amputate them, and during the operation Morgan died. The California Powder Company's work located in Contra Costa county, were blow up by an explosion on Saturday afternoon. One white man and thirty-three Chiname were killed. The pay car of the Southern Pacific Railroad passed through Fresno on Thursday with about $700,000 on board, which will be paid out between that place and New Orleans. The parents of a young Chinese girl at San Juan have been fined $50 for torturing their girl's feet in order to render her more eligible for the wife of a Calestial capitalist who has agreed to pay $600 for her. The Chico Enterprise is authority for this statement that a divorce suit was brought recently in the Shasta Court, the complaint made out, service acknowledged and decree of divorce entered up, all within a space two hours. Chicago will hide its diminished head when it hears how the divorce record has been lowered on this coast. The tax levy of Nevada county has been fixed at $2.10 on $100 worth of property Last year it was $1.75. The increase is principally to the depreciation of proper values brought about by the anti-minimal litigation. The tax levy of Santa Rosa county is $1.45; of Shasta county $3.25; of Sacramento county, $1.30; of Napa county, $1.52; of Alameda county, $1.26. By a unanimous vote the following was adopted by the Supervisors of San Joaquin County: "Whereas the Central Pacific Railroad Company has offered to compete." been expended in litigation to the perfection of the water system; outrageous—because advice of that kind is grossly improper in a judicial decision. It is highly prejudicial to the case of the plaintiffs, and its expression debars the Judge giving it from ever again reviewing the case if, unfortunately, it shall again be brought before the Court. But having advised a compromise "upon an equitable basis" why did he not go further and state plainly what, in his opinion, is an equitable basis? If the parties to the controversy cannot agree as to the use of the water, an appeal to the Courts must again be made, for the purpose stated in the concurring opinion of Justice McKee, who says that it is the duty of a Court of Equity to determine the respective rights of the parties, assuming that they have a common interest in the water. It might, perhaps, have been quite improper for Justice Ross to have nipped another lawsuit in the bud by giving his opinion in advance as to the respective rights of the parties; but inasmuch as his solicitude for their welfare led him to give one unwarrantable and unsolicited bit of advice, he might have supplemented it by an additional expression of opinion calculated to assist in the avoidance of further legal controversy. The question which the stockholders of the Anaheim Water Company must now consider is whether they will proceed further with this case in the Courts or endeavor to adjust it without further expense. To discuss this matter it is probable that a meeting will soon be called. We would suggest that previous to such meeting a conference had with the representatives of the S.A.V.I.Co. and see whether it is not possible to act upon Justice Ross sensible (but outrageous) advice. His Opinion of Lawyers. ORANGE, Oct. 3, 1883. Ed. GAZETTE: I have just returned from a hunting trip to San Bernardino county—hunting lawyers—and find before me the decision of the Supreme Court in the Anaheim water suit, as well as the GAZETTE of the 29th alt., containing an answer from Robt. W. Scott to my former communication, which he has the simplicity to assume was in some round about way an answer to something he had previously said or didn't say. Now, no one with a grain of "reason, logic or common sense" could for a moment suppose any such thing. I was simply giving my view in contradistinction to that of the lawyers on the subject under discussion, and advising the people of Anaheim to drop the lawyers and their wiles. You see now what following the advice of mercenary lawyers has brought them to. They have thrown away their money without acquiring any rights through their litigation, R.W. Scott to the contrary notwithstanding. Friend Scott seems amazed at my audacity in boarding the very lion in his den, so to speak, but the people of Anaheim ought to know that I was once bitten by a lawyer, and have had 'em bad ever since. These lawyers are a bad set any way you look at them. Why, even the Scripture says "Woe to you, lawyers." By their acts shall you know them. Who are responsible for ninety-nine-hundredths of the laws on our Statute books? The lawyers. Who have made justice unattainable to the poor man and caused crime to go unwhitful of justice! In the matter of the San Pedro road through the land of E.N. McDonald et al. in Wilmington road district, a committee of two, in conjunction with Supervisor Giroux, appointed to visit the premises. Supervisors Osborn and Waldron appointed said committee. In the matter of the petition of A.E. Putney, for right to dig well in the Rose road, referred to the District Attorney for an opinion as to whether the Board has power to grant said petition. In the matter of the Lanterman road, Supervisors Giroux, Waldron and Osborn appointed a committee to examine and report on this matter. In the matter of the Newbill road, Norwalk, ordered surveyed and $50 allowed John Dolland for land taken and removing fence, and Mr.D.D.Johnson allowed $25 for land taken (1 acre), the warrants to be drawn on Norwalk road district. WEDNESDAY, Oct. 3d. Report of District Attorney in the matter of License Tax. On motion of Supervisor Giroux the subject of adopting an ordinance to fix the rates of County Licenses was taken up, and, after discussion, further consideration is hereby postponed until Oct. 10th, 1883. In the matter of the Downey School District Bonds. Bonds issued. In the matter of the Sierra Madre Range Road. Deeds for right of way filed and road declared a public highway. In the matter of the Santa Ana Depot Road. Petition referred to Supervisor Moesser. In the matter of the petition of W.T. Martin et al., for a road near Pomona. Referred to Supervisor Reichard. In the matter of the petition of G.Wolfe et al., in relation to licenses. Action deferred. Protest against the Backman road read and laid on the table, this matter having been disposed of at the September meeting. Petition for Azusa road. Referred to Supervisor Reichard. Petition to change boundaries of Rollins and San Jose school districts. Petition granted. Resignation of T.J.Oliver, Road Overseeer of Silverado road district, accepted. The Tax Collector is hereby allowed two assistants to make out the receipts, at a salary of $75 a month each. Adjourned till Wednesday, October 10, 1883. A meeting was held last Thursday evening for the purpose of organizing a local branch of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle. The organization was effected, and it was found that ten ladies and gentlemen have undertaken the course of reading. Others can undertake it at any time before January 1st. All former members of the parent society are invited to meet with the Anaheim local circle. The next meeting will be held at the house of Mr.W.Miggins, Thursday evening, October 18th. Those contemplating the course of reading should at once secure books and papers prescribed. Information can be had of Mr.Moores or Mr.Robinson, or any member of the C.L.S.C. Robinson's big circus will perform in Anaheim on Monday on the lot west of the school house. From the notices he has received in the northern papers, we judge it be a very complete and elaborate show. Indeed, Old Robinson can scarcely afford to give the weight of his name to any but a first-class entertainment. There will be a parade in the morning, which will be made out service acknowledgment and decide two hours. Chicago will hide its diminished head when it hears how the divorce court has been lowered on this coast. The tax levy of Nevada county has been fixed at $2.10 on $100 worth of property. Last year it was $1.75. The increase is principally to the depreciation of property values, brought about by the anti-minimal litigation. The tax levy of Santa Rosa county is $1.45; of Shasta county $3.25; of Sacramento county $1.30; of Napa county $1.50; of Alameda county $1.26. By a unanimous vote the following were adopted by the Supervisors of San Joaquim county: "Whereas the Central Pacific Railroad Company has offered to comprise and settle the claim of San Joaquim county, which is the basis of the suit entitled The County of San Joaquim vs. Central Pacific Railroad Company et al., now pending in the Supreme Court of California, by rendering to said county its bonds for $100,000, with accrued interest thereon and payment to said county sum of $300,000 gold coin. Be it resolved, that said credit be and the same is hereby accepted." A case of interest to persons carrying insurance, has just been decided in The Superior Court of San Francisco. It was that of J.W.Winterhaller, executor ofthe state of Fritz Hoffmaster, deceased vs.T.Workman's Guarantee Fund Association.The deceased was insured by defendant for $1000, payable to his widow upon his death which amountedthe Association was anxiousto pay her.The creditorsofthe deceased claimedthe moneyandthequestionwherertheclaimantwasentitledtoreceivethesamewastheissueinvolved.TheConrenderedjudgmentinfavoroftheplaintiffandthereforetheamountbecomesassetstheestatetobedisbursedbytheexecutiveThis decisionupsetspreviousrulingswhichheldthatinsuranceonamanslifeinfactionofhiswifecouldnotat,hisdeath,betcachedorclaimedbyhiscreditors.

Theselawyers are a bad set any way you look atthem. Why, even the Scripture says "Woeto you, lawyers." By their acts shall youknow them. Who are responsible for ninety-nine-hundredths of the laws on ourStatute books? The lawyers. Who have madejustice unattainable to the poor man andhave caused crime to go unwhipt of justice?Most emphatically, the lawyers. Who costmore to the community, without giving anatom of value in return, than educationand religion both? The lawyers, most assuredly.Who, consequently, are more dangerous tothe peace] and prosperity of the people thanhorse thieves, stage robbers and the Asiaticcholera? The lawyers and the lawyers only.But enough of this. I might string out myindictment a mile long without enumeratingall the devilries of the lawyers whose patron saint is Satan. Were the lawyers alldead and the law books all burned, justicewould be more easily and certainly attainable.All the laws necessary toinsure justice the world over would not fill a copyof the Gazette. Were our laws reduced tothis simple state as justice requires, then thelawyer's occupation would be gone and weshould have the Millennium. But as the authors of the laws are a power in the land itwill take a revolution to do away with them.Speed the day when such a revolution maycome, and we shall be rid once for all of thelawyers, who are the greatest hindrances tothe promotion of justice and the success of civilization in the nineteenth century. "Common law is common sense," saysBlackstone, but it goes without saying thatwhat may be common sense in such climate as that of England may be the veriestdrivel in Southern California. Were thelawyers out of the way, reason and commonsense would once more have a chance, andthe people would amicably settle their differences. In conclusion, allow me to say, that shouldthe people of Anaheim decide to followthe course marked out for them by R. W.She people on this side are prepared to say,Lay on, McDuff, and damned be he whofirst cries hold! enough! If they have another twenty thousand dollars to throwawaylet them wade in; but should they decide onthe contrary course, the stockholders ofthe S.A.V.I.Co. will, I feel confident, meetthem half way and do any and everythingthat is right and just. Robinson's big circus will perform inAnaheim on Monday on the lot west of theschool house.From the notices he has received in the northern papers, we judge itto be a very complete and elaborate show.Ineeded, Old Robinson can scarcely afford togive the weight of his name to any buta first-class entertainment.
