WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY AUG. 2, 1884 Kleinigkeiten. The August schedule of the P. C. S. S. Co. is printed on the fourth page. John Protopsalli, a native of Greece, suicided in Los Angeles on last Saturday by shooting himself. Anaheim Lodge, A. O. U. W., has changed its meeting nights from Mondays to the first and fourth Friday of each month. A contract for painting the school-house has been awarded to J. H. Gooch for $300.

Stephenson Esq. has withdrawn from the contest for the Democratic nomination for District Attorney. The railroad bridge over the Colorado at the Needles, which was washed away during the flood, has been replaced and freight is now being moved with celerity. It is said that over one hundred persons are encamped at the San Juan Hot Springs. The embargo placed upon campers last season has been removed. Fred. C. Smythe has been appointed Constable of Anaheim township, vice Tyler, resigned. Fred. will now "gather them in" A Contrast. It does not require one to be much of a philosopher to appreciate the superiority of our summer weather. But if any one stops to contrast the suffocating heat now prevalent throughout the East with our cool ocean breezes, the destructive tornadoes, whirlwinds and thunder storms with our sunny, calm and quiet weather, it must result in a complacent satisfaction and thankfulness that our lines are laid in pleasant places. July 23d was a day not noticeably different from all July days with us, while in Dakota houses and crops were destroyed and several persons were killed by a terrific tornado. Upon the appearance of heavy black clouds, heavy thunder and vivid lightning, people took refuge in cellars. The unfortunate victims who could not reach safe shelter were caught up by the wind and carried to destruction. A ten-year-old boy who was out playing was carried over a mile and dashed to pieces. A horse was whirled through the air the same distance. Scores of houses were destroyed. On the same day in New York State Barnum's circus tent was blown into shreds while the performance was in progress. Ropes, chains, poles and stakes were swinging in the air over the heads of five thousand spectators. The people and animals were thrown into a frightful panic, resulting in injury to more than seventy-five persons and a loss to Barnum of over ten thousand dollars. The rain and hail accompanied with thunder and lightning added to the confusion. The storm traversed several counties, leaving great destruction in its track. The day in Anaheim was, like all the rest, one of exceeding loveliness. Who would not live in Southern California? The Times says that Mr. Sewell, of San Gabriel, takes a very gloomy view of the prospect for the orange-growers in this section, as the market is badly broken in the East and dealers do not care to purchase California oranges owing to the condition they have arrived in for the past two seasons. There will be fully 500,000 boxes in the county this year, and Mr. Sewell thinks that growers will be fortunate if they realize fifty cents per box on the trees.* The oranges should not be left on the treasury until June, as they are more liable to decay.

C. Gade, 10 acres - South East corner of the Greeley Tract; $1,000. A social entertainment will be given next Tuesday evening at Cooperative Hall in Westminster, under the auspices of the Ladies of the Congregational society. The Los Angeles Council have determined to repeal the ordinance requiring saloons to close at midnight. Their spasm of morality was short-lived. The enterprise and public spirit of M. Dobner is visible by night as well as in daylight. He has erected a brilliant street lamp in front of his new store on Los Angeles Street. The total assessed value of land and improvements and personal property in this county, as returned by the County Assessor, is $28,274,039, an increase over last year's valuation of $5,000,000. F. & J. Backs have received a large stock of furniture purchased at Eastern factories and shipped direct to them in carload lots. They invite an inspection of their assortment and guarantee satisfactory prices. The sale of the NE½ of SW¼ of Sec. 2. T 5 N, R 11 W (Westminster) is reported, the purchaser being Elijah Phillips, and the price $2500. The same place was sold for $1500 a year ago. The Times says that the Southern California Orange Company, which was organized last year for the purpose of speculating in oranges, has lost nearly $90,000 in the venture. An election will be held in Orangethorpe school district on August 25th, to vote upon the question of raising a tax of $500 with which to repair the school house and improve the lot.

There will be fully 500,000 boxes in the county this year, and Mr. Sewell thinks that growers will be fortunate if they realize fifty cents per box on the trees. The oranges should not be left on the treasury until June, as they are more liable to decay. The tariff on oranges at present is $3 per thousand, and even at this comparatively high figure our growers find it hard work to compete with the cheap labor of Europe and the islands. Should the Democrats be able to carry out their free-trade theories, Mr. Sewell thinks oranges would be practically worthless, as there would be no market outside of the coast. The Directors of the A. U. W. Co., at their meeting on Friday, rescinded the resolution offering a half share of stock for each share of stock of the Farmers' Ditch Company. It is understood that action will be taken to-day on a proposition to give the latter company a quarter share of stock for each of its shares provided the assessments ($2 50 per share) be paid on the stock so given. It is probable that the vexed question will be settled upon this basis. The assessment now pending will be delinquent on Tuesday, and the delinquents will be advertised according to law next Saturday. The Superintendent and Zanjero report the condition of the ditches and water every day at the Secretary's office, and their reports are bulletined as soon as received. Times are lively and business brisk in Chinatown just now. Games, big and little, are the order of the day and the disorder of the night. The payment of several thousand dollars in hard cash by the Anaheim Union Water Company to Chinamen employed on the ditches, renders money easy among Sin Si Wau's celestials. The report of the demise of two Chinese fiddlers was premature. The orchestra is in excellent health and its musical inconsonancy is surpassed only by its persistence. That any part of it had joined the "angel band" is simply a hope deferred. C. H. Watts of Pasadena, who has been prominent as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Sheriff, announces his withdrawal from the contest. There are plenty of aspirants for the office, however. R. M. Barham, N. A. Covarrubias and W. R. Rowland are actively engaged in laying wires for the nomination, and it is said that T. E. Rowan is a candidate, though the report lacks confirmation. The Shrievalty is about the only plum worth picking since about the only person who did anything was tracing on Sunday, but it is known that he was not long time of his death yet gave a verdict that he parties unknown.

Dr. Pfeninger made body on Sunday. The wounds—one in the forehead above the back His face showing that the wield very close to the bullets was found loosely no special search was owing to the decomposition Sheriff Currier visited tragedy on Sunday, any clue to the perpetrators Bras' brother, wife Brea Canyon, is inerty. He has another States and a father natives in Germany. It would seem as if calls for action by those offering a reward for murderers. Not that cullarily atrocious abuse if the lawless probable the murderer that they can gratify pennalties without any made about it, and void of detection and punishment marked increase of justice are hundreds of menern counties living is at the mercy of unscrupulous most efficient way to pursue unreleasing every criminal who murders of Bras were there is no doubt terror among that crime only because no who grow bold in ther proportion as the only administered.

An election will be held in Orangethorpe school district on August 25th, to vote upon the question of raising a tax of $500 with which to repair the school house and improve the lot. Over one thousand acres of alfalfa have been planted in Westminster township during the year, and it is all growing luxuriantly. Hay is selling for $4 per ton in the stack. The hero of that affecting little story regarding the convivial Los Angeles delegates is said by the Times to have been the distinguished member from the Fifth Ward. We are inclined to think it was one of the Boyce. Several carloads of Eastern freight which have been on the road more than three months arrived in Anaheim on Wednesday. The freight was transferred across the Colorado river at Yuma by steamer and reloaded on Southern Pacific cars. We acknowledge the receipt of a complimentary invitation to be present at the Fifth Annual Exposition of the Sixth District Agricultural Association, which will be held at Los Angeles from October 13th to 18th, inclusive. The new post-office building is about completed, and it is probable that the post-office will be removed to the new location the latter part of next week—probably Friday or Saturday. The new office will be a daisy. The license tax collector, (may his tribe decrease) is daily expected in Anaheim to collect the nine months back license which the courts have decided must be paid. He is here—in the person of Mr. Venable. With such a suave collector the payment of even this enormous tax is deprived of its sting. C. H.

The Shrievalty is about the only plum worth picking since the readjustment of salaries, hence the struggle for the prize. Dan Rich, a clerk in Cahen's store, was suddenly summoned to San Bernardino on Monday by the sad death of his sister, Miss Leah. It appears that the lady was sojourning at Arrowhead Hot Springs, in San Bernardino, and while bathing with a party of ladies she competed with them in remaining under the water as long as possible. Shortly after leaving the water she was seized with convulsions and died on Monday morning. It is supposed that a blood-vessel was ruptured. Two acres of land at Downey, near the railroad track, have been purchased by F. Weis of Anaheim, who will put up a winery in time to work up this year's grapes. There is a large tract of country around Downey in vineyard, and heretofore the bulk of the crop has been hauled to the San Gabriel wineries. It is understood that the grapegrowers gave special inducements to Mr. Weis to locate his winery at the point named. It is estimated that there are forty threshing machines at work in this county six days in the week, turning out 75,000 bushels of grain daily. A movement is on foot in Los Angeles to call a public meeting of business men to urge the Board of Supervisors to repeal the County license law. MURDER OF P. W. BRAS. A Case in Which the Governor Should Offer a Reward. Four miles east of Anaheim, along the main water canal, is the vineyard and farm of P. W. Bras. Here he has resided for over 13 years, most of the time companionless and alone. He found a market for his wine by retailing it among the native population who made his place a rendezvous, and it is said that brawls were not infrequent among his customers, and that among the frequenters of his house were many Californians who might be classed under the general term of "hard cases." That harm would come to him at the hands of some of these men has been frequently predicted, and the forecast was verified on Friday evening of last week. On that day Dr. Pfeninger of Anaheim, who owns a farm a few miles above that of Bras, and who desired the latter's advice in regard to the purchase of a horse, took Bras in his buggy, went to see the horse and returned to Bras' house at 6 o'clock in the evening, where he left him and came to town. Between 10 and 11 o'clock on Saturday morning Ben. Kraemer was in the neighborhood of Bras' house looking after some sheep, and noticed that two fine horses, in which Bras took especial pride, had not been fed or cared for. This led him to look for Bras, and after a search he found him in the wine shed, stretched upon the floor, unmistakably dead, and with his head resting in a pool of blood. Mr. Kraemer came to town immediately and notified Justice Bailey, who summoned a jury and repaired to the scene of the tragedy. About the only testimony adduced was that of Dr. Pfeninger's son, who had remained at Bras' house during the absence of his father and Bras. He said that while they were gone two Mexicans rode up to the house, "looked around," and then went away, and that subsequently a boy brought a wagon which Bras had loaned. This was the only clue to the possible murderer. Though the boy described the men minutely, no one has been able to "place" them. From the condition of the body, and other circumstances, it was evident that the deed had been committed before dark on Friday night. A Chat With Two Supervisors. Supervisor Levy and Moesser did us the honor of a call on Wednesday, and we passed a pleasant and interesting hour in discussing roads, bridges and things with them. Our stock of information in regard to these matters is largely increased as a result, and especially did we learn how it could not be done. There is a pressing necessity for at least two bridges near Anaheim—one across the wash north of town and the other across the Santa Ana river at Burruel Point. In endeavoring to learn from the gentlemen named how it was possible to have these bridges, or either of them, built, we discovered six or eight different ways in which it could not possibly be done. They suggest, however, that as Anaheim is to be benefited by these bridges, and as this is an incorporated town and pays no money into the county treasury for road purposes, the town authorities or the citizens individually subscribe as liberally as they can towards the building of a bridge, send in a petition to the Supervisors stating what is required, the amount that has been contributed and the amount necessary to complete the required improvement, and the Board will endeavor in some way to make the appropriation asked for. Supervisor Levy's special business here was to view the road petitioned for by the residents of North Anaheim and town. After viewing the road he instructed Road Oversee Porter to construct it as soon as possible. Mr. Levy also informed us that he had investigated the wire fence obstruction on the Anaheim Landing road, and informed Mr. Bixby that it must come down. That gentleman promised immediate compliance with the mandate, but will present a petition to the Board at its next meeting asking for a change in the roads running through his rancho. The fence, we are told, is now removed, and the old road between Anaheim and the sea can now be traveled. Referring to an item in last week's Gazette, based upon an extract from the Herald, and intimating that Mr. Levy was dereklien in his duty in road matters, it should be said that the Herald was wrong in locating the bridge in Mr. Levy's district, and he was, therefore, not responsible for its condition.

Helmsen's. The right to do pretty much as they please. About the only testimony admitted that of Dr. Pfeninger's son, who had remained at Bras' house during the absence of his father and Bras. He said that while they were gone two Mexicans rode up to the house, "looked around," and then went away, and that subsequently a boy brought a wagon which Bras had loaned. This was the only clue to the possible murderer. Though the boy described the men minutely, no one has been able to "place" them. From the conflation of the body, and other circumstances, it was evident that the deed had been committed before dark on Friday night—necessarily but a short time after Dr. Pfeninger had left him. His horses and chickens had not been cared for and the lamp had not been lit, which facts fix the time of his death very minutely. The jury gave a verdict that he was killed by some parties unknown. The object of the killing may have been robbery, but there is no positive evidence that anything was taken, while the theory is quite generally held that his death was the sequel of a quarrel with some of his visitors. It is known that he has had several encounters of late, in which nothing more deadly than glasses and fists were used. Dr. Pfeninger made an autopsy on the body on Sunday. There were three bullet wounds—one in the back of the head, one in the forehead above the left eye, and one in the back. His face was powder burned, showing that the weapon must have been held very close to the victim. One of the bullets was found lodged in the brain, but no special search was made for the others, owing to the decomposition of the body. Sheriff Currier visited the scene of the tragedy on Sunday, but was unable to find any clue to the perpetrators. Bras' brother, who has been living in Brea Canyon, is in possession of the property. He has another brother somewhere in the States and a father and several near relatives in Germany. It would seem as if this was a case which calls for action by the Executive in the way of offering a reward for the detection of the murderers. Not that there is anything peculiarly atrocious about the crime, but because if the lawless class, to which it is probable the murderera belong, get the idea that they can gratify their bloodthirsty propensities without any particular stir being made about it, and without any special fear of detection and punishment, there will be a marked increase of just such crimes. There are hundreds of men throughout the southern counties living isolated as Bras did, and at the mercy of unscrupulous men, and the most efficient way to give them protection is to pursue unrelentingly and with energy every criminal who molests them. If the murderers of Bras were detected and hanged, there is no doubt that it would strike terror among that class who refrain from crime only because of fear of the law, and who grow bold in the commission of crime in proportion as the law is inefficient or laxly administered. At the September meeting of the Board the matter of dividing the county into five Supervisorial districts will be acted upon. The law requires that this be done. It is denial promised immediate compliance with the mandate, but will present a petition to the Board at its next meeting asking for a change in the roads running through his rancho. The fence, we are told, is now removed, and the old road between Anaheim and the sea can now be traveled. Referring to an item in last week's Gazette, based upon an extract from the Herald, and intimating that Mr. Levy was derelict in his duty in road matters, it should be said that the Herald was wrong in locating the bridge in Mr. Levy's district, and he was, therefore, not responsible for its condition. That Anaheim and Gospel Swamp should come into collision on the subject of water seems kind of ridiculous, but it is a fact, nevertheless. One does not have to tax his memory very severely to call to mind the time when a large body of water flowed in the wash north of town, making communication between the two sections impossible for days. That water came from the Santa Ana river. It overflowed its banks and cut a channel into which it will continue to discharge a surplusage of water during the rainy months unless the gap is closed. But if this is done it will send more water down into the country south of Santa Ana, to the destruction of valuable property. Even with the relief afforded by the break in the river, that country was very badly damaged during the winter. It is known to most of our readers that the river again divided at the Swamp; that when those whose property was endangered by the waters flowing in the new channel sought to turn the river back to its natural bed, they were opposed by those whose property was threatened by the river if it was confined to its original bed; that litigation followed; that Judge Howard decided that the water ought to be confined to the old bed; that in pursuance of this decision a dam was built to carry out the decision; that the dam was cut in the night time on several occasions, and that a deputy sheriff and posse had to be detailed to guard it. This decision of Judge Howard makes it lawful to construct an embankment on the river northeast of town, where the break occurred last winter, to confine the water to its natural course; but the question arises, "who's to pay?" It would seem as if the work came within the scope of the Supervisors, but Mr. Moesser will oppose it, on the ground that they have already more water in the Swamp than they know what to do with. However, as the law is clearly with us, and as it is out of the question for our people to stand quietly and see their property destroyed, when the remedy is so easy, it is probable that the embankment will be built before next winter. Mr. Moesser can scarcely be blamed for his opposition. It hits him where he lives, and self-preservation, we have read somewhere, is the first law of nature. At the September meeting of the Board the matter of dividing the county into five Supervisorial districts will be acted upon. The law requires that this be done. It is denial promised immediate compliance with the mandate, but will present a petition to the Board at its next meeting asking for a change in the roads running through his rancho.
