WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...DECEMBER 26, 1885 Kleinigkeiten. New Year Cards. Some very handsome styles of New Year cards have been received at this office, and can be printed to order at short notice. Mr. Frank Rimpau is in from Tucson to spend the holidays with his parents. We hope everybody had a very Merry Christmas, and that a happy and prosperous New Year awaits everybody who deserves it. Mr. John Wagner wishes to buy a horse, and will pay a liberal price therefor. See advertisement. The meeting of irrigators at the Fairview school house on Saturday was so slimly attended that no business was transacted. County and town taxes will be delinquent on next Monday. After that date 5 per cent. will be added for costs. Mr. David Evey of Pasadena has been in town for several days, renewing old acquaintances. A marriage license was issued in San Bernardino last week to Mr. Blatchley H. Wright and Marianne Wandell. Blatchley lived in Anaheim for a long time. A large consignment of agricultural implements have been received by A. E. White who proposes to make a specialty of the business this season. At a meeting of the Board of Town Trustees on Wednesday evening, F. C. Smythe was appointed Town Marshal, vice Bohn, removed to heaven knows where. Warring Reformers. The trial of Sheridan Waite and Ira Carpenter on the charge of disturbing the peace of Geo. R. Hinde, as detailed in the Gazette last week, was had before Justice Pierce on Wednesday; and inasmuch as each party conducted his own case it required all the skill of the presiding Justice to keep the case from getting to be more of a free argument on religious, spiritual and moral questions than on the prosic one charged in the complaint. Mr. Hinde testified as to the facts stated last week, and in addition stated that Carpenter used the following epigrams: "If ever you are saved, it will be through me;" "You have drawn the sword and you shall perish by the sword;" "You will now have to stand a siege," etc. Alfred Hinde corroborated the testimony of his father, and Walter Lockwood Thales, a member of the household, next affirmed that he heard part of the conversation, though he was not in the room. That he heard Hinde protest against the intrusion of Waite and Carpenter. The latter said to Hinde: "You are already a son of God, and I can make one of Thales in three months." Being asked by Waite to define his idea of "boisterousness," Thales replied that as he lived a retired life, far from the madding crowd, it was possible that he considered boisterous language in a different light than if he resided in a hotel. He would state, however, that in his opinion their conduct was ungentlemanly. Replying to a question by Carpenter, witness said that his true name was Walter Lockwood; that three years ago he had joined a Sacred Order, and that, according to the custom of said Order, they had conferred upon him an additional name, which happened to be Thales. For the defense Ira Carpenter asked permission to give the history of the Society as an extinguating circumstance, and though the Court refused he managed to interject much of the history into his testimony. He said that as the originator and member of the Society he had a right to go there as he did; that by the laws of the Society the house was open to all who want to lead a better life. He had furnished money to the Society, and when Hinde was arrested for starving his child he had sent him money from the East with the injunction to buy President W. S. F.

Smythe was appointed Town Marshal, vice Bohn, removed to heaven knows where. Nine Chinamen were arrested on Wednesday evening by Constables Smythe and Pullen on a charge of gambling. A tan game outfit was also captured. A handsome quilt, the handiwork of the Misses Rimpau, is to be raffled and the proceeds given to the fund for the Catholic parsonage. The quilt can be seen at the store of Rimpau Bros. A San Francisco paper says: "The California Southern Railroad has asked for estimates for furnishing 100,000 ties with which to lay its track from Riverside to Los Angeles." Willie, the 13-year-old son of W. M. McFadden, while playing with a colt last week, was kicked by it and had his leg broken. The little anderer is getting along nicely, but will be in bed for several weeks. So crowded is Los Angeles with strangers that the hotels have to refuse accommodations to guests. The dilemma is bridged over by the use of sleeping cars which the railroad company allow the use of. The children attending the Sunday school of the German M. E. Church will have a Christmas Festival and Tree at the church to morrow (Sunday) evening at 7 o'clock. A cordial invitation is extended to all persons to be present. It is rumored that a sale of a thousand acres of the Shanklin tract is about to be consummated. We hope this is true, especially as it is said that the sale will be followed by the settlement on the tract of twenty or thirty families. In the Los Angeles Herald of Thursday morning is printed the following: "Guy Toribee, a boy of fourteen summers, small of stature, thin, dark complexion and hair, has left his home at Anaheim, where he is wasted." Anaheim Lodge, No. 207, F. & A. M., elected the following officers on last Monday evening: T. S. Grimshaw, W. M.; R. Krebs, S. W.; Henry Wrede, J. W.; F. A. Norn, Treasurer; J. S. Gardiner, Secretary. For the defense Ira Carpenter asked permission to give the history of the Society as an extinguating circumstance, and though the Court refused he managed to interject much of the history into his testimony. He said that as the originator and member of the Society he had a right to go there as he did; that by the laws of the Society he house was open to all who want to lead a better life. He had furnished money to the Society, and when Hinde was arrested for starving his child he had sent him money from the East with the injunction to buy food with it. [Here Hinde protested that such was not the case.] "My object in going to the house," said Carpenter, "was as Truatee of the Society and for the purpose of getting Hinde away from under the influence of Thales. Hinde's wife is being slowly starved to death. I reasoned with him and asked him to go away with me for a week, and told him that if in that time I could not prove that he was in the wrong, I would give up all my right to the property. Hinde listened to me patiently and seemed ready to yield, but he left the room, went to the oracle, Thales, got a revelation from him and came back full of hell. When he left the room that night his last words were: "There is a bad lounge; you can sleep there if you want to." The only breach of the peace we committed was on the next morning when we cleaned the room in which we had slept. It was the fifth place I ever saw. I never told Hinde that he must be saved through me. What I did say was that man much as he had done an injury to me, he must make confession of that injury before he could be saved. Waite contented himself with corroborating Carpenter's testimony. He accompanied the latter to endeavor to wrest Hinde from his delusion, and in the interest of Mrs. Hinde's welfare. Hinde did not order us out, but on the contrary gave us permission to occupy the room and lounge. At the conclusion of the testimony Justice Pierce said that a technical breach of the peace had been committed, and fined the defendants $10 each, which they paid under protest. Mr. J. Y. Anderson, of Westminster, who makes a specialty of sorghum syrup, has closed the season's work, and it has proved very satisfactory. The yield was three hundred gallons to the acre, and but for an untoward circumstance the yield would have been greater. Just as the sorghum began to tip out, a heavy wind toppled it over to some extent, and while it did not affect the growth of the cane, it lossened the amount of saccharine matter to some extent, so that the quantity of cane that made 9 gallons of syrup last year only made between 6 and 7 gallons this year. A special bulletin has just been issued from the Department of Agriculture giving a brief account of the researches of a special agent on the making of sugar from sorghum. At the meeting U. W.

Gardiner, Secretary. "It is a matter of much comment," says the Anaheim Union, "that Christmas and New Year come on different days of the week this time." Den't know how it is in Pasadena, but the only remarkable thing about the matter in Anaheim is that they come on the same day but in different weeks. We call attention to the advertisement of Mr. John Hauna, who is now established in the real estate and commission business at 120 North Main street, Los Angeles. He would be pleased if parties having places for sale would send him a description of their property and their lowest price. There is no doubt that Mr. Hanna will be successful in business, and his Anaheim friends ought to assist him as much as they can. Mr. Erwin Barr is enjoying a visit from his brother, Mr. John Barr, of Longmont, Colorado. When he left his home on Wednesday of last week, it was in the midst of a snow-storm such as Colorado is famous for, and the contrast with our incomparable climate has set Mr. Barr to wondering why he didn't come to California years ago. Mr. J. L. Dinwiddie, of the firm of Dinwiddie, Brainerd & Co., real estate and insurance brokers of Petaluma, has been authorized by the stockholders of the Southern California Semi-Tropical Fruit Co. of Healdsburg to sell their orchard in such parcels as he may deem advisable. The Company has 110 acres of excellent land in North Anaheim, nearly all in bearing trees and vines, A special bulletin has just been issued from the Department of Agriculture giving a brief account of the researches of a special agent on the making of sugar from sorghum. He asserts that by the methods used in Kansas and elsewhere, from 45 to 50 per cent. of sugar has been wasted, and that by a process which he is now perfecting 95 per cent. of sugar will be realized—a fact which, if true, will revolutionize the sugar industry. His method does away with the milling process, the cane being treated by slicing and carbonization. The trouble with growers of sorghum here, however, is to get rid of the sugar in the syrup. The product of the cane has too much sugar for syrup, and not enough sugar to make it profitable as sugar. It the experts of the Department will tell syrup makers here how to get rid of this surplus sugar a great benefit will be conferred. Half an inch of rain fell on last Monday, swelling the total to 3.59 inches for the season. The country is in fine condition for the plow; early-sown grain is growing as if by magic, and there is an abundance of pasture on the plains. The rains which may be reasonably expected after the holidays will doubtless be sufficient to insure large crops. Heavy rains in the northern counties are retarding field work, and in the language of the dispatches "farmers are getting disgusted and somewhat afraid that there will be too much rain." The ball on last evening, "for sweet charity's sake," was very largely attended and the utmost sociability prevailed. The promoters have the satisfaction of knowing that their efforts were well rewarded. Good quality of stove wood for sale cheap!quire of Frank Ey. The Way it Works President W. B. Strong, of the A., T. & S. F. R. R., and party arrived in Colton Tuesday morning on a special train, and a meeting was held between a citizen's committee of Colton, appointed for the purpose and President Strong, Vice-President C. W. Smith and General Manager D. B. Robinson, of the A., T. & S. F., regarding a proposition recently made to the citizens of that place by the railroad people for depot grounds, etc. The A., T. & S. F. people stated it as their intention to put up passenger depots, freight warehouses; business offices and machine shops there if the proper grounds could be secured for the purpose. The citizens' committee, who were fully empowered to act in the premises, guaranteed everything the railroad people asked; and upon the conclusion of the interview, President Strong assured the committee that work on the railroad buildings should be commenced as soon as the material could be put upon the ground. The citizens are enthusiastically and jubilant, and already all the railroad company has asked for has been secured and only waiting for the proper transfers to be made. It is generally understood the main offices of the California Southern Railroad will be established at Colton instead of San Diego. Now, if the Colton people had been at all selfish about the matter—if they had refused the required subsidy under the plan that the company would have to "build there anyhow," they would have been left in the lurch! The fact of the matter is that railroad corporations help those communities which show some disposition to help themselves. Meeting of Directors At the meeting of the Directors of the A. U. W. Co. held on last Saturday, the following business was transacted: A proposition was received from John Hanna asking that the charter of the company be amended so as to embrace in the water district certain land owned by him, he agreeing, in consideration thereof, to purchase shares of stock from the company to the amount of $500, and make all necessary ditches to the land.

Railroad News (Riverside Press, Dec. 26) It is now safe to announce that the San Gabriel Valley Railroad will be immediately extended to the San Gabriel river, and that the bridge over that river will be put in as soon as the rainy season is over, making it safe to do the work. The road is then extended up through the Mad Springs valley to a point north-west of Pomona, and thence to Pomona, down through the Chinatown to the Riseon and across the Santa Ana river to a junction with the Riverside Santa Ana and Los Angeles Railway; or leaving Pomona to the right, it may go to Ontario and cross the Southern Pacific thence take a straight shoot to Arlington where it will join the Riverside Santa Ana and Los Angeles road. It is an open secret now that the San Gabriel Valley road is or is to be, a part of the Atchison system. It is generally believed that the Riverside road will be extended down the Santa Ana valley to the coast without delay. Here We Are!

Meeting of Directors At the meeting of the Directors of the A.U.W. Co. held on last Saturday, the following business was transacted: A proposition was received from John Hanna asking that the charter of the company be amended so as to embrace in the water district certain land owned by him, he agreeing, in consideration therefor, to purchase shares of stock from the company to the amount of $500, and make all necessary ditches to the land. The proposition was laid on the table, as the question was one which could only be dealt with by the stockholders. Petition of Robert Hansen for a ditch, referred to a committee. H. S. Knapp appointed a member of the Auditing Committee, vice Sumner, removed to Los Angeles. The Secretary was instructed to advertise the annual meeting of stockholders. He was also instructed to write to Alfred Robinson, trustee, explaining to him the situation regarding the ditch which conveys water to the Kraemer tract, and ask permission to construct a ditch along the south line of Section 19, as indicated on a diagram accompanying the letter. It was resolved to retain Mr. Crowther as Superintendent during the term of this Board. The performance given at Kroeger's Hall on last Sunday evening by the German Society was attended by an audience which filled the hall literally to overflowing. Among the audience were a number of visitors from Los Angeles, who were handsomely entertained and who left Anaheim the next day rowing that they never had had a baffle "time." After an appropriate opening address by President Erz, the following programme was rendered: "Schaefer's Morgenlied" ... Mannerchor of the Los Angeles Verein Zither Duet ... Messrs. Steeb and Gunther "Ich bitt Euch, liebe Vogelstein," tenor solo... Mr. Lotz Piano Solo, "Sonnen-Aufgang" ... Franz Nebelung (his own composition) "Michel, der Rathats-Candidat" ...

Franz Nebelung (his own composition) "Die Thraene" ... The Mannerchor Zither Duet ... Messrs. Steeb and Gunther Duet, "The Miller and the Tailor" ... C. Schindler and C. Bennerscheldt "Juden Standechen" ... The Mannerchor And a ball concluded the entertainment, which was thoroughly enjoyed, and was kept up nearly all night. A very serious gunning accident happened on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. C. E. Groat and Frank Fox were returning from a hunt, and while driving along the buggy wheel strack a bunch of captus, throwing Mr. Groat nearly out of the buggy.

Those neither tardy nor absent are Estella and Musetta Craw. No corporal punishments. C. J. Reed, Teacher. Roasted to Death. Deputy Sheriff Wright, of Orange, who together with Messrs. West, Ingraham, Karns, Shoesmaker and Dillin, has been for some time in San Diego county for retiring out the mystery surrounding the death of Thomas W. Cover, has, he thinks, solved the problem. Cover was a wealthy resident of Riverside who last year started with a companion to find the lost Peg Leg Mine in San Diego county. He separated from his companion, and nothing more was heard of him although four different parties searched for him under the incentive of a large reward. Wright says that at a point on Carisa Creek he found a lot of human bones which had evidently been cremated. "Six or eight inches below the surface was a heap of ashes mingled with pieces of human bones, burned in the fire. A great space around had been stripped of greasewood, for the materials for that blaze." I gathered about two quarts of bones and several teeth, and with them convincing evidence that these were the remains of poor Tom Cover." Wright's theory is that the murder was committed by a well known desperado named Turner Helms, who lived near the place by Lucy Wagner, Mattea Hansen, Minnie Hetebrink and Nettie Tombes.

German professor of drawing to new students—"Just bleesa point owd vich yo' o A very serious gunning accident happened on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. C. E. Groat and Frank Fox were returning from a hunt, and while driving along the buggy wheel strack a bunch of cactus, throwing Mr. Groat nearly out of the buggy. The gun was resting on his knee and, as it was about to fall out, Frank made a hasty clutch for it and just as he caught hold it went off, and the whole charge of shot penetrated his left breast. He was brought home and given the best of attention by all the physicians in town. His wound is very serious, the shot having penetrated the lungs, and his recovery is a matter of grave doubt. Frank is aged 18 years, and is the son of Justice Fox. He is a boy who is very well liked, and everybody feels a deep interest in his recovery and are sorry for the painful accident that has befallen him. The entertainment given by the young people of Orangethorpe on Christmas Eve was a most enjoyable affair. The house was crowded, standing room being at a premium. Exercises consisted of dialogues, recitations, reading, tableaux and music. The musical selections, by Misses Bancroft, Schults and Smith were excellently rendered. Dialogues, well spoken, and the songs and other exercises by the wee ones showed that the training at home was good, as marked by their perfect composure before a large audience—some of them being not more than five years old. Mr. J. C. Gormley, of the Los Angeles Times, has been in town for several days taking notes. A prolific and forcible writer, we have no doubt that our town and vicinity will be thoroughly and well written up in the forthcoming annual issue of the paper he represents. Mr. R. J. Northam returned from San Francisco on Thursday, bringing with him no decisive news regarding land matters. Wright says that at a point on Carisa Creek he found a lot of human bones which had evidently been cremated. "Six or eight inches below the surface was a heap of ashes mingled with pieces of human bones, burned in the fire. A great space around had been stripped of greasewood, for the materials for that blaze. I gathered about two quarts of bones and several teeth, and with them convincing evidence that these were the remains of poor Tom Cover." Wright's theory is that the murder was committed by a well-known desperado named Turner Helms, who lived near the place where the remains were found. A brother of Helms was hanged by the Vigilantes in 1862, when Cover was Chief of the Vigilantes, and revenge is assumed to be the motive for the cremation of Cover. It is supposed that Helms is in the San Diego jail by this time. The above is condensed from the Los Angeles Times. By reading the article on "Measurement of Water," republished from the Scientific American, it will be seen that authorities differ, slightly, as to what a miner's inch is. It was recently stated in one of our contemporaries that a discharge of 1,600 gallons per minute was equal to 100 miner's inches. But the authorities quoted to-day make 100 inches equal 987 gallons per minute and 934 gallons per minute, respectively, or an average of 958 gallons per minute. Starting Experience. Next to scarlet fever, there is no disease among children more dreaded by parents than whooping cough. It is liable to come at all seasons of the year: it exhausts the strength of the little one, and physicians are often unable to check it. Mr. F. W. Harbaugh, of the Telegram, Baltimore, Maryland, had six of his children, aged from six to thirteen years, prostrated with this malady at one and the same time. A complete cure was, however, effected by Red Star Cough Care; and Mr. Harbaugh writes that the cough, which generally lasts nine weeks, left in four weeks, and he is confident it would have disappeared sooner if he had been aware of the existence of such an invaluable remedy.
