EVENTS OF THE WEEK. Soldier Boys Back from the Encampment. They Bring With The Principal Trophy—A Gettys Letter from our Correspondent as the Landing—Irrigation Matters. Maritime. Company G returned from the encampment on Tuesday afternoon. The boys bring back a trophy—the silver service offered for the company marksmanship, the principal prize of the encampment. They furnished the only band for the ten-days outing, and had it not been for the fact that the Anaconda military hand attended, the encampment would have been without music. There were more members of Company G in line than were furnished by any company in the regiment, there being fifty-five guardmen present out of a company roll of sixty-one. Brigadier-General Johnson and Colonel Russell were outspoken in their praise of the soldierly deportment, and gentlemanly conduct of our boys, and pronounced them the best soldiers upon the field. With these troops before them the members of the company were highly elated when they returned to their armory on Tuesday. The company disembarked from their special train at the California Central depot at 4 o'clock and the band immediately tendered their acknowledgments to the other companies aboard by playing the encampment march. As the regimental train pulled out many salutes were exchanged between the soldiers, and then Company G fell in and marched to the armory. The silver service which the boys bring back with them is the trophy offered by Treo H. Bonebrake of Los Angeles for the best marksmanship. It is of solid silver, made by Reed & Barton, the celebrated Connecticut jeweler, and is valued at about $100. The set comprises a tilting water pitcher, China lined, and two gold-lined silver gobblets which set on the right and left of the pitcher. The entire service is beautifully engraved, and is marked "George H. Bonebrake—Trophy." The service was presented to the company by Colonel Russell on Monday evening. The company had an ing. A large number of the young lady's friends were present, and the evening was most plausibly spent. In museums and galleries were arrested. Among those present was Mr. and Mrs. Avery, Miss Jillian Schuler, Louise Schulden, Mary Mordmann, Ms. Everhardy, Claire Metzmann, Dana Zeyr, Missie Zeyr, Mineshah Kushal, Lute Baldy, Kaia Champlin, Mantis J. Malmendag, F. Schaumburger, Henry Nimshaffell, Lloyd Bailey, Peak Littlefield, Shadden Littlefield, John Landall and others. SAD SEA WAVES. Budget of News and County from this Landing. EDITOR GAVERN—I know you will be glad to get a law house from Amheim Landing, so I will take pleasure in keeping you posted as to what is going on here. We notice all old Anaconda who have camped here for years. I mopping all the little stingrays would miss one should any of them stay away. Sandays are very lively. The beach is fall of spoonies with their girls from Tennessee Springs. My it would just make you sick. This morning we noticed many bathing in the surf. The tide has washed great holes around the old lighter and wharf. On Sunday while bathing, John Abbey got out too far and was caught in the current and carried out to sea. His crime for help were heard and Commodors Davis and John Eason gallantly went to the rescue. He was brought ashore where his mother and sister were overjoyed in receiving him. He is a good swimmer, but it is always the best swimmers who are the most vastaresome. Mrs. John Hunter is occupying her cottage. She is a regular camper at the Landing, and enjoys the water as much as any one here. We hear a whisper on the beach of a terrible commotion in one of the Artemia tents, all about a young gent and two young girls. One love-lorn maiden threatened to drown herself, but was finally pursued that life was too dear and he was not worth drowning for. Next morning all was serene and calm and the lady in question was seen burying clean fish for breakfast. Such is life in the wild and woolly west. A nice party consisting of Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Hart and children, Mrs. Littlefield and sona, Mrs. Arthur, Miss Jettie Arthur, Miss Late Bailey and Lloyd Bailey visited the Landing Saturday. Misses Minnie and Dora Zeyr happened to an accident while getting ready to go starting before the board thins his hair as a good citizen should be current on with Mr. Jason has agreed he did not experience temporarily until another officer informs him. Registration A meeting of stock holders Union Water Company wasger's Hall last Saturday Bahre in the Chair. Then Secretary. It being announced was not a quorum of about the meeting was resolved in motion, the object being its viability of nothing a priority of the old water company new irrigation district. Dismissed by Mme Maura McFaulkner, Judge Pierce offered remuneration. Broadening. That it is the meaning that it would be more important than that the fate of the Anaconda Irregular forthwith to continue necessary for the use of this resolution was mentioned and meanily. This course was taken in an amiable adjustment by company. At a meeting ago it was agreed that $100 upon as the price to be asked to be sold the new distribution; the price raised to $200,000 favored a larger amount. A conclusion was reached that altogether too high. The new irrigation district were cooledly averse to paying it. It was consequently decided in condemnation to be entered into old company and thus arrive adjustment. The old company takes bonds of the new company of all claims. A similar count ing the property of the Yorba be arrived at. The entire new district is placed by those known at not to exceed $400,000. Court Notem Constable Pullen arrested Sunday and charged him with cozy. It is alleged Rois stole Manual Enciinas of Ventura. The silver service which the boys bring back with them is the trophy offered by John H. Bonebrake of Los Angeles for the best marksmanship. It is of solid silver, made by Reed & Burton, the celebrated Connecticut jewelers, and is valued at about 400. The set comprises a tilting water pitcher, China lined, and two gold-lined silver gobbles which set on the right and left of the pitcher. The entire service is beautifully engraved, and is marked "George H. Bonebrake Trophy." The service was presented to the company by Colonel Russell on Monday evening. The company had an average of 38 per cent in marksmanship. This is equivalent to 19 points out of a possible 50, and leads the regiment by about 6 per cent. While the company has no difficulty in capturing the trophy, as a matter of fact all the best shots fell off in their scores. Sergeant Pellegrin, who won the company medal at target practice last year, scored ten points less at the encampment range than at home. Other crack shots fell below their usual average. The best score was made by Private William Berdrow, who made 37. Sergeant White coming in second with 35. Other good shooting was performed by Corporal Blair and Sergeant Kroeger. The complete score will be given next week. The trophy is to be competed for in three successive encampments. Now that our soldiers have it safely housed at home, they are resolved never to let it go. The service is an exhibition in the window of Pellegrin's jewelry store. ENGAGEMENT RULE SHOTS Corporal Landell was the best-looking man at the encampment. That is what all the ladies say. The department of members of Company C was very highly spoken of by all. Denna is home again and ready to paint. Sergeant White used his own ammunition and had no "miss fires." Orderly Sergeant Thomas looked the stern practician that he is as he walked up from the armory, bronzed as a soldier, with his rifle on his arm. Lieutenant Gade insists that if the Tyrolean ever give Company D a rattle, the Pomona company will be nowhere. Sergeant Pellegrin reports that Company W was the most orderly on the ground. Lieutenant Lewis says the boys had a great time, and that Company can get away with any of them. Oscar Luedke looked as though he had been out in the sun. Capt. Wood was the proudest man in town he brought down the silver service to put on display. The Anaheim military band was the first band in the regimental parade at San Diego on Saturday, and elicited much comment on splendid music. Corporal N. A. Bittner, the leader of Anaheim's military band, received compliments from General Johnson and Colonel Russell for the prompt and efficient action of our band. Private W. H. Watts, who is President of the band, is deserving of special mention for his untiring efforts for the success of his musicians. O.R. Luedeke, Secretary of Company G, was always on hand and as prompt with the details of the drum as he is with his accounts and business of the company. Sergeants Kroeger and Blair received the recommendations of all as being fine and well-trained military men. Sergeant Pellegrin, always at his post, is one of Captain Wood's best advisers in the company affairs. Private Crist is a good soldier; but it hurt him to do guard duty in about the same place that the darky's shoes pinched his one here. We hear a whisper on the beach of a terrible commotion in one of the Artemis tents, all about a young gent and two young girls. One love-lorn maiden threatened to drown herself, but was finally pursued thus life was too dear and he was not worth drowning for. Next morning all was serene and calm and the lady in question was seen busy cleaning fish for breakfast. Such is life in the wild and woolly west. A nice party consisting of Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Hart and children, Mrs. Littlefield and some, Mrs. Arthur, Miss Jettie Arthur, Miss Late Bailey and Lloyd Bailey visited the Landing Saturday. Misses Minnie and Dora Zeyn happened to an accident while getting ready to go home at dusk. Their horse managed to get away from them and after a chase for him he was given up for lost and the ladies started home with the rest of the party. At Westminster Mr. Stowe caught him, so they all turned back, harnessed the horse to their carriage and drove home by moonlight, after a very enjoyable day, promising not to visit the Landing very soon again. Some of the visitors Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. Hartung, Mr. and Mrs. Stone, Mr. Charles Federman, Mr. and Mrs. Boltz and children, Mr. Landell, Mrs. Gunning and children, Mrs. Browning and Mies Elaine Rust, Mrs. Selinger and family, Mrs. Fosok, Mrs. Christ and others. Miss Melaheimer, Mrs. Mitchell and children, Miss Power and Regina Classon took a dip during the week. Some people pay little attention to cleanliness, horses and cows being tied any and everywhere and flies and dirt abound. A good raking up would make a decided improvement. THE IRRIGATION DISTRICT. Meeting of Directors Yesterday Resignation of Officers. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District met yesterday afternoon, and after a general discussion of the affairs of the district a motion was carried that Messrs. Kellogg and Sorenson be requested to furnish the board with their ideas of a water system for the district, and an estimate of the cost. The Secretary was instructed to advertise in the Gazette and Fullerton Star that a meeting of taxpayers would be held on the 24th instant. (See advertisement in another column.) Messrs. Hunter, Wrede and Zeyn were appointed a committee to report upon a location for the office of the company. Mr. Melrose insisted upon the acceptance of his resignation as attorney of the board. It was accepted, Capt. Wrede voting no. The resignation of Mr. James was temporarily withdrawn, until the board could secure another office. The following card is interesting and self-explanatory: A petition signed by forty-five residents of Anaheim Irrigation District was presented to us at our meeting on Tuesday, asking that the appointments of Mr. James and Mr. Melrose, as Secretary and Attorney, respectively, be canceled and protest against maintaining the office of the district in the Bank of Anaheim. The petitioners are entitled to a respectful hearing, and as we deem it better for the best interests of the district that the changes asked for be not made as 'the present time,' we take this method of stating the reasons for our action. In the first place, the appointment of Mr. James and the location of the office of the district in the Bank was decided upon for purely economical reasons. The district must have a Secretary and an office, and the office must be kept open during one here. We hear a whisper on the beach of a terrible commotion in one of the Artemis tents, all about a young gent and two young girls. One love-lorn maiden threatened to drown herself, but was finally pursued thus life was too dear and he was not worth drowning for. Next morning all was serene and calm and the lady in question was seen busy cleaning fish for breakfast. Such is life in the wild and woolly west.

H. Watts, who is President of the band, is deserving of special mention for his untiring efforts for the success of his musicians. O. R. Luedeke, Secretary of Company G, was always on hand and as prompt with the beat of the drum as he is with his accounts and business of the company. Sergeant Kroeger and Blair received the recommendations of all as being fine and well-drilled military men. Sergeant Pellegrin, always at his post, is one of Captain Wood's best advisers in the company affairs. Private Crist is a good soldier, but it hurt him to do guard duty in about the same place that the darky's shoes pinched his foot, "high up." Corporal Keefhaber proved himself to be a good officer and soldier. Some of the Westminster squad, so it is said, are no credit to themselves, Westminster or Corporal Keefhaber, and ought to be summarily dealt with by Capt. Wood, as they no doubt will be. Corporal Browning, always a fine soldier and officer, was there only a short time. By the time this is read he will be marching along through life "in double rank." Success to him! Private Frank Hilmer had the Postoffice later and was telegraphed for to come home. A bad disease. Private Frantz received a telegram to come home at once as Professor Butler was sick or dying. Only a sore thumb, Bad Professor. John Smythe showed himself to be a firm young man and took great interest in Company G's duties. George Heffner made great progress in the skills and duties of a soldier. He will, if he attends to all things as well as he did at the encampment, make a fine business man. Lieutenant Lewis makes a fine display as a soldier and tactician. Private J. P. Greeley takes much interest in Company G and is a fine soldier. Capt. Wood remarked to us on the street that he is proud of all of the boys, as he well might be. They are telling stories about Anaheim soldier who thinks more of a certain San Diego "girrul" since his return from the en-campment than would patch San Diego a smile. Love comes like a summer apy. Jack Seegar had been at target practice for scores who would have been considerably larger. So a young lady informs us. Private Christian was one of the happiest boys at the encampment. Private Everhardly was much pleased with the silver service. Corporal Bancroft deported himself in his soldierly manner. Birthday party was given by Miss Emma consider at her home last Thursday evening. stating before the board that he believed it his duty as a good citizen to consult even this counsel initially on a matter which should be current with an earlier hearing. Mr. Jasen has agreed to withdraw his resignation temporarily until the board can arrange for another officer and office on more numerical basis. Registration Institution. A meeting of stockholders in the Anaheim Union Water Company was held at Kroger's Hall last Saturday afternoon, Leon Edwards in the Chair. Then, Staley acted as Secretary. It being announced that there was not a quorum of stockholders present the meeting was resolved into a meeting of citizens, the absent being to discuss the availability of selling a price open the property of the old water company to be sold to the new irrigation district. The subject was discussed by Manna McFadden, Crowther, Kellege, Weglin, Wilshire, Eddin and others. Judge Pierce offered the following resolution: Resolution: That it is the sense of this meeting that it would be more satisfactory to all parties interested than the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District proceed forthwith to consider all property necessary for the use of the district. The resolution was seconded and carried unanimously. This course was taken in order to arrive at an amenable adjustment between the two companies. At a meeting hall two weeks ago it was agreed that $100,000 be fixed upon as the price to be asked for all property to be sold the new district. Some desired the price raised to $200,000, while others favored a larger amount. Among others the conclusion was reached that the amount was altogether too high. The directors of the new irrigation district were known to be decidedly aware to paying the sum fixed upon. It was consequently decided to allow a suit in condemnation to be entered against the old company and thus arrive at an amicable adjustment. The old company will of course take bonds of the new company in payment of all claims. A similar course in condemning the property of the Yorbas will probably be arrived at. The entire expense of the new district is placed by those competent to know at not to exceed $400,000. Court Notes. Constable Pullen arrested Juan Ruiz on Sunday and charged him with grand larceny.

Fun With a Hat Some boys have lately been enjoying a lot fun with an imitation rat, placed upon the new walk and attached to a string held by aurchins across the street. As a pedesan approaches, the rat is made to move, nothing after the pattern of its rodent interpart, whereinpon the beholder strikes it with his cane, following it out into the middle of the street and to the opposite side, until he discovers the joke. Then all bystanders roar and yell "rata," or some sort of the sort. The pedestrian indistinct-mumbles something about a one-horse inn, etc., much to the merriment of the faithful gang.

A wagon-load of scale-infected lamons from County Treasurer Wall's orchard at Tustin was driven through town on Tuesday afternoon. The fruit had lately been sprayed and the scale were nearly all dead. The fruit was about the most horrible sight one could wish to look at, some appearing as though they were affected with a severe case of smallpox. Quite a heavy shower of rain fell yesterday morning at about 1 o'clock, accompanied by flashes of lightning and heavy thunder. During Tuesday evening.flashes of lightning could be seen to the east, showing that a storm prevailed upon the desert. At times during the early-evening the rolling of distant thunder could be heard. A storm of this nature is extremely rare in this section. We are informed that the Eastern people who visited this section some time ago with Williamson Dunn have decided to purchase property on the Coyotes rancho. The new comers are from Texas, and are members of the Dunker sect. They will be welcome to our section and will prove valuable citizens.

Mr. P. Davis informed a reporter of this journal that the "ventriloquist" was not his son Aleck, but it is known the young man formerly practiced a good deal to perfect himself in the art. — Pile driving will probably be completed on the Olive bridge in a week, when work upon the superstructure will begin. It is probable that the river bank on this side will be strengthened, so that the channel of the stream may be confined to its course. There is a tendency on the part of the stream to overrun its weesterly bank, and this will be obviated by driving piles and making an enbankment for some distance north of the bridge. — The first copy of the Orange Post is at hand. The paper is the successor of the Tribune, which will henceforth be known no more. L. B. Woodruff is editor and proprietor. He deserves success. On Monday afternoon, when the Tribune press was placed under lock and key by its former proprietor, Woodruff brought his "forms" to Anaheim and the first issue was printed on the GAZETTE press. He will soon be settled down and have the paper running smoothly. — George Slice has made a complete investigation of this section for the discovery of the plum curculio reported from San Francisco to exist in Los Angeles. From every inspector in the county reports have come in, and not a specimen of the curculio has been discovered. Mr. Slice says the report arises in this way: Some one, a stranger here, visited the flower gardens and nurseries of Mr. Compere. He found a bug devastating the garden, and thought it was the curculio. This tenderfoot journeyed to San Francisco and spread the report. The bug in Compere's nursery turns out to be nothing but the common rose beetle. — A fellow signing himself E. W. McAlpin, from Washington Territory, claiming to represent the Branwick & Balke millard manufactory, was in town last week and succeeded in making quite an unenviable reputation for himself. The fellow is crippled, having lost the use of both legs below the knee, and uses a couple of wooden stumps in getting about. He claims to be a billiard expert, but was badly beaten by a local yet been ascertained, but there will be quite a colony of them.
