THE IRRIGATION DISTRICT. Tilt Between Directors Ryan and Spencer. For a Time It Looked As Though There Might Be Blood Upon Pale Lunar—Don Prudencio Yorba Resigns as Director—The Secretary's Salary Subjected to the Cold Storage Process—Simmered Down from $50 to $15 per Month. Tuesday was the regular meeting day of the Directors of the irrigation district, and anticipated there was the usual amount of fun for the spectators. The morning hours were monotonous and dry, but before the board adjourned in the afternoon their deliberations were enlivened by a tilt between the two heavyweights of the board, Dr. Spencer and Mr. Ryan. The affair came about in the discussion of the reduction of Secretary Gardiner's salary, which was slaved from $50 to $15 per month. Prudencio Yorba resigned his commission as Director from Precinct 1, as he is not in the district for his health, and cannot afford to come ten miles to meeting without pay. The board met at 10 o'clock. Present, President Korn, and Directors Ryan, Spencer and Crowther. Absent, Director Yorba, who sent the following letter of resignation: YORBA, January 30, 1891. To the Honorable Board of Directors: GENTLE-MEN: You will please accept my resignation, as I cannot attend to any meeting at an expense to my part individually. I am content to stay at home and do exceedingly better than so far. I hope you will carefully examine the case and kindly grant my prayer so as to exonerate my bondsmen at once. Respectfully yours. PRUDENCIO YORBA. Engineer Kellogg read the minutes of the last meeting, Secretary Gardiner being in disposed. The minutes were approved as read. Collector Cadman reported the collection of $385.37 for the month of January. For the month of December his collections amounted to $4,441.93. Treasurer Keith reported as follows: Balance on hand, Jan. 5, 1891 = $9,901.77 Warrants cashed during month = 1,173.98 Balance on hand, Feb. 1, 1891 = $8,817.29 The reports of the Collector and Treasurer were received and placed on file. Engineer Kellogg reported that the place such a large amount of the bonds on the market. He would be as willing to allow his 300 shares to remain idle, while bring thus hypothecated, as to allow them to remain as at present. If the district is not able to go on and complete the works, a contract should be entered into between the two companies agreeing when certain acts are done to make the transfer. The project is feasible and can be accomplished without trouble. Mr. Ryan informed the General that that was about the tenor of the resolution adopted at the annual meeting of the water company hold last week. General Shanklin—The people dislike to have the small amount of water now at our disposal spread over the entire territory of the district. As to the purchase of the bonds, the State lends out school moneys at a low rate of interest. During his incumbency as State Surveyor General there were constantly from one to two hundred thousand dollars lying idle in the Treasury. This fund he thought would be available to a large extent for the purchase of our bonds. Mr. Ryan stated that in order to solicit bonds with security the district should have a contract binding on both sides as to the terms of the property transfer. The question is one of interpretation of Mr. Klokke's resolution. He moved that a committee of three be appointed to confer with a similar committee to be appointed by the water company, which committee was instructed to formulate a contract for the purchase of the property of the Anaheim Union Water Company, the committee to report at the next regular meeting. The motion prevailed, and the chair appointed Messrs. Ryan, Spencer and Crowther as such committee. At noon the board adjourned for lunch, and on reassembling at 1:30 the matter of the resignation of Don Prudencio Yorba was taken up. On motion of Mr. Ryan, and seconded by Mr. Spencer, the resignation was accepted, and the Secretary instructed to notify the Board of Supervisors of the vacancy, and Senior Yorba of the acceptance of his resignation. M. Ryan moved that a committee of two be appointed to audit the books of the Treasurer, Collector and Secretary of the district, Carried. The chair appointed Directors Ryan and Spencer as such committee. In the matter of the refusal of the railroads to pay personal property taxes. These taxes are levied on the telegraph lines belonging to the railroads, and are protested because the property is not assessable in irrigation districts. Director Spencer was about to introduce a resolution providing for the rebate of this personal property tax, the amount of which is insignificant, when Judge Lamce said the same question had arisen in other irrigation districts in the State, and would probably be settled before the next meeting of the board. No action was taken in the premises, and as a sale of place such a large amount of the bonds on the market.

The annual masquerade of The Anaheim Baseball Club at Reiser's Hall on last Friday evening was one of the most delightful events that have occurred in Anaheim for a long time past. The hall was filled with spectators an hour before the grand march began, and shortly after 8 o'clock the advance guard of the maskers began to arrive. Each masker, after passing through-the inspection room, where Fred Rimpau acted as master of ceremonies, was conducted into the hall, where the introduction to the spectators was made by Arthur Lewis, who acted as floor manager in his usual painstaking and acceptable manner. Many of these costumes provoked roars of laughter from the spectators. The "Grandmother" character, ennested by Miss Wetzel), was very taking. The good old lady shook hands with everybody going entirely around room,and creating consternation in the breast of an urchin, who had incurred her August displeasure, by taking him across her knee and soundly spanking him for his impertience. The "Dutchman" of Charley Neipp was another striking take-off, very much enjoyed by the spectators. Suyder had his swinging Broadway glide that took the ladies eyes completely,and consequently had a plenty of partners during the evening.Many of these ladies were attired in very handsome costumes,and when she grand March began at 9 o'clock she glittering display of tinsel and gorgeous paraphernalia was a sight to behold.Following is a list of the maskers.LADY MASKERS.

Engineer Kellogg read the minutes of the last meeting, Secretary Gardner being indiposed. The minutes were approved as read. Collector Cadman reported the collection of $385.37 for the month of January. For the month of December his collections amounted to $4,441.93. Treasurer Keith reported as follows: Balance on hand, Jan. 5, 1891...$0,901.77 Warrants cashed during month...1,173.93 Balance on hand, Feb. 1, 1891...$5,817.29 The reports of the Collector and Treasurer were received and placed on file. Engineer Kellogg reported that the preliminary work of the district had been completed, and it was now ready to be taken up at any time by his successor, should be appointed. This completes all work at present to be undertaken in the engineer's department. Matters will remain in status quo until bonds of the district are sold in sufficient quantities to carry on the work. Director Ryan, chairman of the committee appointed to confer with Brunson, Wilson & Lamme in reference to securing a reduction in their salary, submitted the following letter from the firm in relation thereto: LOS ANGELES, Cal., January 13, 1891. To the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District, Anaheim, Cal.-Dear SIRS: In view of the financial condition of the district, we are willing to accept a modification of our contract with your board, as follows: We will advance your board until August 12, 1891, and will also take the complaints for condemnation against the Anaheim Water Company and the Yorba ditches and rights such time as you may direct. The board to pay us on February 1, 1891, one month's salary, after which there shall be no further charge except with reference to the said two matters. What this charge is acquired byerty mentioned in such complaints either by condemnation or otherwise, then the board shall pay us $1,250 in each case, and if either or both of such cases should be tried then such sum of $2,000 shall be full compensation for all services in the bureau with reference to the same one-half of money to be payable at the conclusion of each matter. If these suggestions should be accepted then the contract heretofore entered into between us is to be modified to that effect. Very respectfully yours. BRUNSON, WILSON & LAMME. The proposition was accepted, on motion of Director Crowther, seconded by Director Spencer. The committee had also asked the attorneys for a written opinion in the matter of the validity of the bonds of the district. An opinion was submitted, setting forth that, in the opinion of the attorneys, the bonds were legal and valid in every respect. An opinion was also submitted in relation to the power of a private corporation to dispose of its property without the unanimous vote of the stockholders, the same being in accord with the opinion of the attorney of the water company published last week. The report of the committee and the opinions were received and placed on file, and the committee discharged. Mr. Kellogg then read the following communication from Tim Carroll. To the Honorable Board of Directors—GENTLEMEN: To correctly estimate the size of the canal required to irrigate the district, and the amount of water required for such irrigation, I would recommend that the district engineer should in West Anaheim proper attention to Anaheim, including all the territory around the sandwich-trap-entrance localities, and find out by actual measurement how much water is required to thoroughly irrigate every one of those selected ten-acre lots. To do this properly he ought to make three equal divisions on each of those 10-acre lots and commencing at the hole time to cover the ground; then go on the second and third, noting the times of those divisions until the water has arrived on the floor. He will of course measure the amount of water entering the land and by doing this in the various localities and using different equipment lowest point. Mr. Spencer, continuing, said he was very much surprised at Mr. Ryan's remark, but The chair appointed Directors Ryan and Spencer as such committee. In the matter of the refusal of the railroads to pay personal property taxes. These taxes are levied on the telegraph lines belonging to the railroads, and are protested because the property is not assessable in irrigation districts. Director Spencer was about to introduce a resolution providing for the rebate of this personal property tax, the amount of which is insignificant, when Judge Lamme said the question had arisen in other irrigation districts in the State, and would probably be settled before the next meeting of the board. No action was taken in the premises, and as sale of delinquent stock begins to day the interesting question arises, will the railroad companies be compelled to pay the expenses of the sale, or, on the other hand, will there be a legal tilt as to the legality of the sale? The sale, however, may be postponed from day to day to cover the interim before the decision is reached. The next business taken up was Director Ryan's raid upon the Secretary's salary. The thermometer at once dropped several degrees. The Secretary was to have brought on an itemized account of the clerical duties of his office, but as he had been ill for the greater part of his time since the last meeting he found himself unable to do so. However he made a verbal report of what he had to do. He had to keep the books of the office in proper shape, answer all letters and keep up correspondence. Director Ryan thought the Secretary's salary was entirely disproportionate to the duties of the office, particularly under a regime of strict economy. The Directors were serving at meetings for nothing, and he thought the Secretary should content himself with $10 or $12 per month instead of $50. Thereafter the Directors carried on their consideration of the subject in writing on small bits of paper, passing them from one to another. While they were so doing, the Secretary busted himself in writing out his resignation. The secret was out at last when Mr. Ryan moved that the Secretary's salary be fixed for the coming month at $25; he to bring in a written statement of the duties of the office at the next regular meeting, when the board may determine whether another reduction is necessary or not. The motion was carried, and the Secretary said he would accept of the salary for one month, but no longer. He had written out his resignation, he said, but would reconsider it and serve for another month. At the next meeting he promised to bring in his report of the duties of the office, and to have something to say, and make things interesting. Director Spencer arose to address the board in regard to the necessity for the reduction in the Secretary's salary, saying that nothing personal had been intended toward the gentleman occupying the office when Director Ryan, who had been reading a newspaper since the vote by which the Secretary's salary was reduced, dropped the paper and said that he objected to Mr. Spencer's sort of talk, taking it to mean that, in the absence of any personal feeling on part ofthe other members ofthe board,he was responsible for any personal feeling that might exist inthe matter. Mr. Spencer, evidently much surprised and somewhat taken aback by Mr. Ryan's interruption, proceeded to insist upon his right to discussthe question as he saw fit. Mr. Ryan was about to talk again, whenthe President ruled him out of order,saying Mr. Spencer hadthe floor. Mr. Spencer, continuing said he was very much surprised at Mr. Ryan's remark, but The chair appointed Directors Ryan and Spencer as such committee.

the sandwich, select a ten-acre plot of land in different parts of the before-named location by actual measurement how much water is required to irrigate every one of those selected ten-acre lots. To do this properly he ought to make three equal divisions on each of those 10-acre lots and commencing at the highest point run the water to the first division and note the time it takes to cover the ground; then go on the second and third, noting the time on each of these acres until the water has arrived on the opposing lowest point. He will of course measure the amount of water entering the land and by doing this in the various localities and using different classes of soil for this experiment, I claim that by averaging all the lands in the district according to their different kinds of soil, he will finally arrive at a very near estimate of the water required to irrigate the district. Every irrigator will admit that it consumes considerable more than he covers the last of those proposed direct ns than the second and still more than the first, and by these means he will also find the correct amount of acreage which could be irrigated by the proposed reservoir in the La Habra valley. Respectfully submitted. TIM CARROLL. Director Spencer thought that the report of the Engineer was sufficiently elaborate on the subject of our water supply and its distribution. He did not think that the board would be justified in going to additional expense to carry out Mr. Carroll's suggestions. Mr. Carroll thought that any engineer who proposed to build a system of reservoirs before constructing the necessary canals desired to do nothing but to squander the money of the district. After a lengthy discussion it was made clear to the petitioner that all the Directors were in favor of building the canals first and the reservoirs afterward. This proposition was exploited over a year ago in these columns. Several letters were read in relation to the marketing of the bonds of the district. Mr. Ryan moved the appointment of a committee of three whose duty it shall be to solicit proposals from any and all sources for the purchase of the bonds of the district. Mr. McFadden read a letter in relation to the marketing of the bonds, from a San Bernardino broker. Letter received and filed. Mr. Ryan's motion provailed, and the President appointed Messrs. Ryan, Spencer and Korn as the committee. General Shanklin was introduced and addressed the board on the proposition of marketing the bonds. He said the district was no nearer a settlement of the transfer of the water company's property than they were a year ago. He thought the stockholders in the water company should accept bonds for their stock. These they could hypothecate and raise money enough to pay off the debt of the company. By so doing they would show their confidence in the bonds and it would not be necessary then to newspaper since the vote by which the Secretary's salary was reduced, dropped the paper and said that he objected to Mr. Spencer's sort of talk, taking it to mean that, in absence of any personal feeling on the part of other members of the board, he was responsible for any personal feeling that might exist in the matter. Mr. Spencer, evidently much surprised and somewhat taken aback by Mr. Ryan's interruption, proceeded to insist upon his right to discuss the question as he saw fit. Mr. Ryan was about to talk again, when the President ruled him out of order, saying Mr. Spencer had the floor. Mr. Spencer, continuing, said he was very much surprised at Mr. Ryan's remark, but he desired to disavow the implication of any personal motive toward him. However, he neither courted that gentleman's smiles, nor feared his frowns. He flung his insinuation back into the gentleman's teeth, sir. The Secretary, excitedly—Let him express himself. It looked as though there would be war, but Mr. Ryan's imperturbability was a sight to behold. He kept on reading the newspaper, seemingly oblivious of everything around him. The board subsequently proceeded to the consideration of bills. The following were audited, approved and ordered paid; Branson, Wilson & Lamme, law $416 67 H. C. Kellogr, surveys $118 00 Thos. Spencer, committee work, salary etc. $37 09 G. Ryan, same $21 60 W. Cowther, same $36 20 F. A. Korn, same $34 40 J. Backs, rent $12 00 A. B. Cadman, salary $50 00 J. S. Gardiner, salary $50 00 A.

MEBALL CLUB’S ANNUAL MASSEDE—LARGE CROWD IN ATTENANCE—THE MASKERS—WHO THERE. Annual masquerade of the Anaheim club at Reiser’s Hall on last Friday was one of the most delightful events that have occurred in Anaheim for a past. The hall was filled with an hour before the grand march shortly after 8 o’clock and all of the maskers began to arrive. After passing through the inn, where Fred Rimpau acted as ceremonies, was conducted into the introduction to the spectacle by Arthur Lewis, who acted as manager in his usual painstaking manner. Many of the costumed roars of laughter from the “Grandmother” character, Miss Wetzel, was very taking.

The “Dutchman” of Charley another comical character, asked as though he had just Castle Garden, and his physique of a particularly “gawky” “Old Darky” costume of Mike the most laughable of the lot, like a real darky politician, and the walk-around and antics kept in roars of laughter.

Many of the attired in very handsome cosmetics when the grand march began at the glittering display of tinsel paraphernalia was a sight to allowing is a list of the maskers. LADY MASKERS.

Shortly before midnight the dancers unmasked, and the usual surprises and laughable situations were enacted. Everybody was in the beat of humor, and joyful hilarity reigned supreme. The march to supper was announced shortly, and taken up to the Del Campo hotel. Here the ladies left their wraps in the parlor, and then the concourse marched down the hall to the supper room, where Mine Host Millier had a feast in store for his guests. The supper-room was a beautiful sight, seating as it did upwards of a hundred merry people, all in the best of humor, for that is the rule when one enters the Del Campo dining-room. The tables literally groomed under their weight of good things, and the hungry multitude fell to in earnest and proceeded to demolish the dainty menu in regulation fashion. There were gastronomic novelties without end, and many were words of praise bestowed upon the chef and manager of the hotel. After supper the dancers repaired to the hall again and tripped the light fantastic until the wee saa’ hours. It was after 4 when the last couple left the hall. The ball was pronounced one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season, and the baseball boys should feel proud of their success. Death of Mrs. Holdt. Mrs. Eva Boldt, whose death had been momentarily expected for many days past, expired at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Gustav Heimann, in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon last. She was aged 66 years, 4 months and 16 days.

She was aged 66 years, 4 months and 16 days. The remains were brought to this city on Saturday morning by Lawrence Boldt, son of deceased, the other members of the family coming on Sunday, when the funeral occurred. The remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. During Saturday and Sunday the remains were viewed by throngs of the friends of deceased. The floral offerings were profuse and elaborate. At 2 o'clock on Sunday the funeral cortex proceeded to the Catholic Church, where services were conducted. Father Stoetters officiating. The pall bearers were H. Werder, T. J. F. Boege, F.A. Korn, C.stappenbeck, C.Lorenz and C.Rimpau. Descared was a native of Germany, and was one of the pioneers of Anaheim, having arrived here in 1862. She had made this city her home since that time, and was loath to leave when her malady becoming alarming. Her relatives persevered her to remove Los Angeles and take up her abode with them. This she did about a month ago. Her condition became worse steadily, and death came to release her from her pains on Friday afternoon last. Mrs. Boldt was possessed of a warm heart and a kind spirit that brought her friends from far and near. As a neighbor she was lovable, kind and generous, and her absence will leave a vacancy impossible to fill. She had reared a large family, all of whom are grown and taken up the battle of life for themselves in other places. Her husband expired in 1878. Her death is mourned by all who had the privilege of knowing her. To her sorrowing family we extend our sincere condolence. He Got the Faucet. "For God's sake, give me a beer faucet, quick!" said a man greatly excited and panting for breath, as he rushed into the Commercial Hotel saloon at half-past 8 on Tuesday morning, after the fire at Herr Benner-saidt's house had been put out. Evidently he had been running—running very fast or very far. He was out of breath, and his assertive language betokened that he would have that faucet or tear down the house. "We've got a keg of beer at the fire, and can't get it at! For Ged's sake, hurry up! burry up! Oh! give me that faucet! For God's sake give me that faucet!" the man went on. It is needless to say he got it. He vanished as quickly as he came, and holding up the faucet in triumph above him, shouted "I got it!" to the crowd at the fire. The faucet was immediately pressed in to service, and the excited young man was happy. Make it a point to be at the railroad meeting at Kroeger's Hall to-morrow evening; and put your name down for stock if you haven't already done so. Attend the meeting and hear what the primors have to say. In the Supervisors on Tuesday the claim of Los Angeles county for $11,375 42, balance alleged to be due in the matter of county division, was denied, an opinion counseling that action having been filed by District Attorney Sanborn, who holds the claim is illegal. The two sons of William Schumacher one day last week bagged 129 ducks in a day's hunt at the Bolasa beach. The elder shot 101, and the younger, a mere lad, 28. This is excellent shooting, and breaks the record. If old man Schumacher had been along the duck slaughter would have been simply in describable. As luck would have it, he was confined to his residence with sickness. An alarm of fire was turned in at 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning for a blaze at the residence of Joseph Benner-saidt in Lemon street. The Fire Department were promptly on hand, and at once proceeded to fight the fire. It was found that the blaze had started in one of the bedrooms down stairs, probably from a defective water. Was applied, and the blaze extinguished. Lora nominal). F.H.Keith has traded his thirteen-acre orange grove, on the corner of North and Palm streets, to J.Rutledge of Santa Ana, taking in exchange the latter's paint, oil and wall paper store situated at the latter place.

Albert Hosmer and W.H.Gregory leading men in the dramatic company that played at the Opera-house on Monday and Tuesday evenings, will 'return to Anaheim shortly and in conjunction with the Linden Dramatic Club will produce "The Octoon" and "Ticket of Leave Man," playing two nights. The same pieces will be played at Santa Ana two nights, and the company will tour for a week or ten days in the different cities of the county. Both gentlemen are excellent actors, and with the clever people of the Linden Club should give a meritorious interpretation of these emotional dramas. Our theater-goers may look for a treat. The frilled person who amuses himself by masering over the roofs of this and threading buildings was up to his capers on Saturday night again, to the consternation of the good people of the neighborhood. A diligent search of the housetops by a party in quest of the person of the roof walker failed to disclose his whereabouts or their success during the week, but at last accounts was improving. I.V.Albertson, who has been confined to his bed with sickness for some time past, is out again and convakiesing. Charles Hilmer returned to Anaheim last week, after a lengthy visit to the northern part of the State. J.W.Shanklin of Oakland arrived in town on Saturday. He is looking after his property interests hereabouts. Miss Jodie Ligon and Miss Louise Berlin of Los Angeles are visiting in town, the guests of Mr., and Mrs.Frank Ey.

Alex Henry, who returned from San Francisco a couple of weeks ago, has been confined to his residence with sickness. He is able to be out again and attend to his business. Martin Wetzel, one of the best known railroad engineers in this part of the county, who pulled first train into Anaheim over the Southern Pacific Railroad many years ago, was in town yesterday renewing old acquaintances. Captain Starin, the gallant commander of Company C of Los Angeles, was in town on Saturday business. The Captain and his brave men are afraid of nothing but fog under the influence of which they dislike very much to it. Starin is every inch a soldier, even though he cannot play the cornet. George Anstee of Denver, who has been a regular subscriber to THE GAZETTE for a long time past, was a visitor in town last week. He has returned to his home but hopes to be with us before many months, to make Anaheim his permanent residence.Mr.Anstee is a progressive and wealthy citizen,and will form a desirable acquisition to our population.

The Santa Ana boys took our local ball players under their wing in a spiritless Mother Hubbard game of baseball on Friday afternoon, to the tune of 13 to nothing. For heaven's sake, The Santa Anas played Otto Young in the box and Old Man Dungan behind the bat. Young, it may not be generally known, is the finest pitcher on earth or elsewhere, and the Old Man is the champion catcher of the earth, sky, stars and moon. Our boys were of course not in it—on the contrary, quite reverse. Young's curves were puzzlers, with whiskers, and our reporter counted forty men whom he fanned out. For heaven's sake. We shall never forget the day when our high-toned friend Mike Finn walked on to the Haight-street diamond in San Francisco, and handed Otto his release from the Frisco team, because he wasn't fast enough. Young looked like a torpedo had just exploded under him, but he is a great pitcher—a great pitcher nevertheless. Goodness! Finn ought to see Otto now. Old Man Dungan once hit a ball in a game at Sacramento, and an hour and twenty minutes afterward it crashed through the roof of a building in Norwalk. Besides Young and Dungan the Santa Anas had up less than seven (7) other players scattered around on the bases and in the field, all doing their best to beat us. No wonder our boys weren't in it. The spore was 13 to nothing. For heaven's sake. But come and see us again, little Santa Ana boys. We go you an ander von. - Thirteen to nothing! Wasn't it tough on the dog? Englewood photographs. Lawrence & Son, the leading photographers of Los Angeles, will be in Anaheim on Monday, Feb. 8, where they will make negatives and share them first at their gallery in Los Angeles. This is the first time that the peo. le of Anaheim have had the opportunity of getting first-class photographs without going away from home to get them.

The same pieces will be played at Santa Ana two nights, and the company will tour for a week or ten days in the different cities of the county. Both gentlemen are excellent actors, and with the clever people of the Linden Club should give a meritorious interpretation of these emotional dramas. Our theater-goers may look for a treat. The frolicsome person who amuses himself by meandering over the rooftops of this and adjoining buildings was up to his capers on Saturday night again, to the consternation of the good people of the neighborhood. A diligent search of the housetops by a party in quest of the person of the roof walker failed to disclose his whereabouts on the occasion of his first visit, at 8 o'clock in the evening. At midnight, however, he returned, and put in considerable time in playing his tricks. We must again inform this person that, should he be run across by an indignant and outraged populace, his name will be Dennis or mud, or both, it matters not much which. The fruit growers of Orange county met at Santa Ana on Wednesday afternoon of last week for the purpose of discussing the availability of making an exhibit at the Citrus Fair to be held in Los Angeles next month. Alfinance Committee was appointed, consisting of three members from Santa Ana and one from each of the outside fruit districts, whose duty it shall be to collect $2,000, or more if possible, to defray the expenses of the exhibit. The following are the committee: F. H. Keith, Anaheim; R. H. Gilman, Placentia; J. H. Crow, Tustin; Joel B. Parke, Orange; W. H. Whitaker, Fullerton and Buena Park; Mr. Ware, Garden Grove; Richard Harris, Westminster; G. L. Dean, Newport; Mr. Fuller, Capitrano; W. S. Taylor, Geo. W. Ford and E. A. White, Santa Ana. H. K. Small of the Olive Mill had a very narrow escape from instant death on Monday of fast week. He was about to start from the mill, when getting into his buggy, one of the horses, being very restless, lunged forward, breaking a whipple-tree. The wagon tongue dropped to the ground. The horse started to run, and the tongue, being driven into the ground, the buggy was raised in the air and overturned. Mr. Small was thrown to the ground with great violence, lightning on his head and shoulders, receiving severe contusions and rendered insensible. He remained unconscious for several days, and grave fears were entertained for his recovery. On Friday morning at 6 o'clock however, when the bell at the mill rumbled the beginning of the day's watch, his wandering senses seemed to be recalled, and saying he must go to the mill, he attempted to rise from the chair in which he was seated.
