AS IN A FOREIGN TONGUE. The Klokke Resolution Cannot Be Interpreted. District Directors and Water Company Men Meet in Conference Over It, but Come to No Conclusion The Matter Will Probably Be Adjusted. Either One Way or the Other, at Saturday's Meeting of the Water Company. The conference between the Boards of Directors of the irrigation district and the Anaheim Union Water Company was held at the office of the district on Tuesday. The conference was for the purpose of arriving at a basis of settlement in the projected transfer of the stock of the old company to the irrigation district. The point at issue was the necessity for placing an interpretation upon the now somewhat celebrated Klokke resolution, which, it will be remembered, provailed at the recent annual meeting of the water company, when, after a turbulent session of the shareholders, the resolution seemed to satisfy everybody and was at once adopted. The necessity for an interpretation of the resolution does not arise in the fact that it is in any way ambiguous, but that it is not explicit enough as to the stipulated time of the transfer. It is not plain whether the transfer may be made as soon as the district, with the work of final formation actively in hand, is enabled to deliver water to every irrigator within the district, or whether, as claimed by some, the moment of transfer shall not arrive before all the reservoirs, canals and other necessary adjuncts of the district are completed and in working order. Mr. Klokke's resolution was hastily drawn. In the opinion of the Directors of the irrigation district it is susceptible of a liberal construction, admitting of the transfer as soon as there is sufficient water in the district to supply every irrigator in it. Some of the Directors of the water company do not entertain this view of the matter, but it is difficult to state precisely where they stand. Mr. Botsford seems to be the leader of the Directors of the old board, and as he is not conversant with the details of the matter in hand, he did not offer any suggestions to solve the difficulty, and none of the others seemed at all anxious to strike out and lead off for themselves. As might have been expected, no decision was arrived at, for after discussing the question for a couple of hours, the conference adjourned. The Directors of read the minutes of the meeting of February 3d. The same were approved as read. Under suspension of the rules, Dr. Gardiner's resignation as Secretary was road. On motion of Mr. Crowther the resignation was accepted. B. V. Garwood was selected to act as temporary Secretary, pending the election of a permanent Secretary. Col. George Taylor of Santa Ana appeared before the board in reference to the reduction of an erroneous assessment on property sought to be redeemed by him. After a most eloquent and forecible presentation of the facts of the case, that was calculated to deeply impress the stony-hearted Directors, Col. Taylor was given the solemn assurance of the board that the error would be corrected. The entire matter was then referred to Judge Wilson for a legal method out of it. It was rumored that the Colonel brought about the rectification of the error by holding out a bribe of two bottles of champagne to the Directors if his request should be acceded to. This of course we know nothing about. Treasurer Keith's report for the month of February was as follows: Cash on hand, Feb. 3: $5,817 29 Received from Collector: $666 70 Total: $0,384 05 Paid on warrants: $858 74 Balance our hand: $5,525 31 Collector Cadman's receipt for moneys turned over to the Treasurer was also submitted. Both documents were received and placed on file. Mr. Ryan of the committee appointed to audit the books of the company, asked for further time. Also to be empowered to engage a clerk for the committee. Granted. As chairman of the committee to solicit bids for the purchase of bonds of the district, Mr. Ryan read two letters, one from Mr. Nutt of San Diego and the other of Robert Eiffel of Santa Cruz, both of whom want to buy bonds. Mr. Eiffel is the gentleman who visited here some weeks ago, looking into our bond question. He signifies his willingness to purchase $100,000 worth of bonds, price not stated. The board proceeded to the consideration of bills, and allowed the following: F. H. Keith, January and February salary: $249 09 J. S. Gardiner, salary and expenses: $157 75 A. H. Cadman, salary for February: $40 00 H. G. Olivey, lumber: $10 10 H. C. Kellogg, engineer: $12 00 J. Backs, rent: $12 00 Total: $150 91 After the payment of bills, the board proceeded to an attempt to catechise Collector Cadman for selling the property of the two railroads for delinquent taxes. The taxes, amounting to something like $1,600, had been sold to the district, according to law, there being no other bidder. Two per cent per month is charged during the time that elapses from the sale until a deed absolute is made out to the buyer, a year after the sale. The railroads had written that the sale be postponed, pending a contest as to its legality of the assessment. The Collector SLASHED HISTORY EDMUND PADDERATZ CITY BIRTHDAY, DRINKS A RAZOR THROAT—NOT DANGER A blood-curdling story from town at noon on Monday to Edmund Padderatz had shaken with a razor in the old Korst street, below Broadway. The effect that the man was to death. 'Squire Landell', had been told, immediate quest of Dr. Bullard. On Doctor's residence the 'Squire' by a GAZETTE reporter, whispered him as to the last when Coroner Ey, approached plowed the 'Squire' to get them and not let the poor man to Padderatz, of whom they rounded that he had had with a razor and was rapidly man took his index finger spasmodically across his ear, in explanation of the Padderatz had done the job. Now it so happened that just returned from a round patients, when the 'Squire' and was engaged in his down to his dinner—needed it sharpened appetite that compelled ride over country at this year. The Doctor's horse had hitched, but, once the 'Squire' been told, harnessed up. The Doctor set out posing scene of the suicide. A journal jumped into the walle. Arriving at the little black street, where she supposedly petted to be found welter and in the last throes of dizzied, followed by her Deputy Constable Miller and drove up to take a hand in doors of the house were fouled. After peering through through the windows, and calling and receiving no answer concluded the house was alight one they were looking for.

The Directors of the irrigation district met again in an hour and a half, but the Directors of the water company, after a further short discussion of the subject, laid the matter over until their meeting of Saturday. Below will be found a resume of the proceedings. Both boards met in joint session at 10:30. There were present Messrs. Korn, Spencer, Ryan and Crowther of the irrigation district, and Messrs. Porter, McFadden, Botsford; Strain and Kroeger of the old company. Before being called to order Mr. Ryan stated to the Board of Directors of the irrigation district that their Secretary had resigned, and suggested that Dr. Spencer act as Secretary pro tem. The Doctor declined, on account of ill health, and suggested that Mr. Ryan act in the place. That gentleman was there upon elected temporary Secretary. A quorum of the Directors was present, and the rules being suspended an adjournment was immediately taken to enter into the conference with the Directors of the water company as to the terms of the transfer of the property of that company to the irrigation district. Mr. Ryan nominated Mr. Botsford as chairman of the conference, but that gentleman on account of not being sufficiently conversant with the matter in hand, declined to accept the office, and nominated Mr. Ryan. The latter gentleman was unanimously elected. Mr. McFadden was elected Secretary. The President said the conference was called together for the purpose of arriving at an interpretation of Mr. Klokke's resolution adopted at the annual meeting of the shareholders of the water company, some weeks ago providing for the terms upon which the transfer should be made. Both Boards of Directors had been named as committees of the whole to confer together and arrive at some satisfactory conclusion in the matter. Mr. Klokke's resolution, printed in these columns at the time of its adoption, is as follows: Resolved: That we will exchange our shares of stock to the Anahalea Irrigation District for bonds as soon as the sail court shall have negotiated sufficient bonds to pay for the completion of the reservoirs, and development of the water necessary for the district, and are in condition to deliver the same. The question asks, Does the resolution contemplate no transfer of stock until such time as the district shall have been entirely completed, all the reservoirs constructed and pipe lines laid; or is it susceptible of a more liberal interpretation, to the effect that the transfer is to be made when negotiations looking to the consummation of all the works of the district are satisfactory under way? Mr. Botsford thought the resolution meant that the transfer should be made when the irrigation district had sufficient water to irrigate the entire district. Mr. Strain said the resolution was couched in general terms, and that it certainly could not be intended as meaning that all work in the district should be completed before the transfer could be made. It would take five or ten years to do that, and before that continue it is susceptible of a liberal construction, admitting of the transfer as soon as there is sufficient water in the district to supply every irrigator in it.

negotiations looking to the consummation of all the works of the district are satisfactory under way. Mr. Botsford thought the resolution meant that the transfer should be made when the irrigation district had sufficient water to irrigate the entire district. Mr. Strain said the resolution was couched in general terms, and that it certainly could not be intended as meaning that all work in the district should be completed before the transfer could be made. It would take five or ten years to do that, and before that consummation could be effected it would be necessary to acquire the property of the water company. In fact he thought it most essential that the property be transferred on a bond basis as soon as the water company is satisfied that enough water is possessed by the irrigation district to irrigate all lands now under cultivation, together with the new lands now being set out and the probable increase in the necessary irrigable area within the next few years. This he thought the district was already prepared to do. For the benefit of Mr. Botsford, who did not see his way clear to act in the premises, Mr. Kellogg read Engineer Schuyler's supplementary report to the Directors of the irrigation district, already printed at length in these columns, and showing the expenditure necessary to complete the preliminary work of the district. By this report it is shown that losses in the Cajon ditch amount to 55 per cent, and in branch ditches to 80 per cent. This year 3,500 acres were irrigated by the water company, and with necessary repairs to the ditches now in use the irrigable area could be doubled. Enough water could be furnished the probable increase in the irrigable area to cover a period of three years, estimating on the increase of new orchards in the past year. The expenditure necessary for these improvements would be about $52,000. By the expenditure of this amount twice the present area could be irrigated. One reservoir would cost $42,000. The total expenditure, with necessary new canals, would be about $115,000. Mr. Ryan stated that he had an offer to buy bonds of the district to the extent of $100,000 if the transfer of the water company's right could be made within a reasonable length of time. A lengthy discussion was indulged in as to the propriety of making the transfer, when, the noon hour having arrived, the conference adjourned. ATTENSOON SESSION. The Directors of the irrigation district met in regular session at 1:40 p.m., when, in the absence of the Secretary, Mr. Ryan The Del Campo Hop.

The facilities of the present production of everything that is to material welfare and kind are almost unlimited and of Figs was first produced therewith with the only perfect hay as it is the only remedy which is used and refreshing to the taste and effectual to cleanse them in the Spring time or, in fact and better it is known that it becomes. Goodness Was He from Employer (to applicant for a "Your testimonial are good a lover!" "Yas ma'am," but vegetarian.) SLASHED HIS THROAT. EDMUND PADDERATZ CELEBRATES HIS BIRTHDAY, DRINKS PORT WINE AND DRAWS A RAZOR ACROSS HIS THROAT—NOT DANGEROUSLY HURT A blood-curdling story was brought into town at noon on Monday to the effect that Edmund Padderatz had slashed his throat with a razor in the old Koin house on West street, below Broadway. The story was to the effect that the man was bleeding rapidly to death. 'Squire Landell, to whom the story had been told, immediately set out in quest of Dr. Bullard. On his way to the Doctor's residence the 'Squire was accosted by a GAZETTE reporter, who proceeded to interrogate him as to the latest tramp story, when Coroner Ey, approaching rapidly, implored the 'Squire to get the Doctor hastily, and not let the poor man suffer—referring to Padderatz, of whom the story was going the rounds that he had slashed his neck with a razor and was rapidly expiring. A man took his index finger and drew it spasmodically across his throat, from ear to ear, in explanation of the manner in which Padderatz had done the job. Now it so happened that Dr. Bullard had just returned from a round of visits to his patients, when the 'Squire called upon him, and was engaged in the very act of sitting down to his dinner—need it be said with that sharpened appetite that comes in a morning's ride over the country at this season of the year. The Doctor's horse had just been unhitched, but, once the 'SQUIRE's story had been told, was harnessed up again. The Doctor set out post haste for the scene of the suicide. A reporter for this journal jumped into the vehicle and rode along. Arriving at the little black house on West street, where the supposed suicide was expected to be found wetting in his blood and in the last throes of death, the Doctor alighted, followed by the newspaper man, Deputy Constable Miller and Arthur Lewis drove up to take a hand in the affair. Both doors of the house were found to be locked. After peering through the keyholes and through the windows, and seeing no one, and calling and receiving no answer, the party concluded the house was after all not the one they were looking for. Getting into the buggies the party set out for another house a half-mile away, which tallied with the description of the Korn house and where, it was thought, the man with the slashed throat must certainly be. No one knew exactly where the Korn house was. After arriving at the second house, it was found, after a sys- Kleinigkeiten. Mr. Kroeger advertises a quantity of cabbage plants for sale. The Hoosiers are talking of having a grand picnic on May Day. The Dreyfus winery was partially unroofed during last week's wind. It is said the Farmers' Alliance will start a general merchandise store at Santa Ana. The frame of the fruit dryer is up, and work on the building is being rapidly pushed. The grading of Hedwig street has been completed. Mr. Porter has done a good job. A. Snyder of Santa Ana has opened a new dry goods store in the building formerly occupied by Joseph Helmsen. Our thanks are due our young friend Emil Goussard for his kindness in bringing us a stack of delayed mail from Los Angeles. Col. Keith of Santa Ana was in town on Monday and Tuesday. He reports business good. Read his advertisement in another column. A license to marry was issued in Los Angeles on Tuesday to John S. Bancroft, formerly of Anaheim, and Helen F. Bean of Los Angeles. Company G's third anniversary will be celebrated to-morrow evening by a reception at the armory. A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend. Tim Carroll is setting out his 240-acre tract west of town into walnuts and figs. This will be one of the largest orchards in this section of the country. The predicted storm and flood of Tuesday did not appear. As usual, when the "Signal Service" predicted rain, we all looked for fair weather—and it came. Down in the Centralia country and in the newly occupied territory southwest of town there will be two thousand acres planted to potatoes this season. Many of the people of Fullerton have been engaged during the week in putting in a levee at the sandwash above the county bridge, to confine the waters to their channel and prevent the repetition of last week's overflow into Orangethorpe avenue. James Kirkpatrick of Dillon, Montana, writes as follows, under date of February 19th: "Please send a sample copy of your paper to one wading in a foot of snow, and oblige," etc. Mr. Kirkpatrick's wish be gratified, and the sample copy forwarded to him by the very first mail. Letters for the following persons remain out the electric light at the hotel, failed to light his cigar on it, paid 25 cents for an almanac, put a nickle in the slot at the post-office and kicked because the mail did not appear, wanted to lick the cashier because the bank closed at 3 o'clock, and watched the clock sign over the jewelry store waiting for it to strike. During the week this mails have arrived very irregularly, but yesterday an arrangement was effected by which we shall have two mails daily, one from Santa Ana in the morning, and the other from Los Angeles in the afternoon. Mails will be transferred by an improvised stage line until the repairs of the railroads. The Southern Pacific is badly washed out between here and Los Angeles, and it may take a week or possibly two before all repairs are made. The Santa Fe is not so badly damaged, and trains will be running regularly possibly by the end of the week. PERSONAL MELANGE. W. F. Botsford has returned from his trip to Chicago. Messrs. Taylor and Life of Santa Ana were over to see us on Tuesday. Victor Montgomery, Esq., of Santa Ana was over on a business visit one day last week. T. C. L. Kay is down in the Westminster country, hunting ducks with a party of friends. The Misses Clara and Hattie Baker of Santa Ana visited with friends in town during the week. Editor Vail of Santa Ana was in town yesterday afternoon, curbing business with pleasure. Fred Rimpau has been confined to his bed for several days with a serious attack of la grippe, but is able to be out again. Otto Rust and Lionel Browning contemplate leaving this morning for an extended visit to San Francisco and the northern part of the State. Messrs. McFadden and Backett of Westminster were in town during the week. They report their people as very much in favor of the railroad to Chino and the Landing. Expert Mosbaugh of Santa Ana, who is going over the books of ex Secretary Gardiner, began his labors on Tuesday. He will probably complete his labors during the week. Misses Parker, Jones and Vore have all returned from beyond she washout, and school in their departments has been taken up again. So their scholars are happy. J. S. French received a telegram from New York a few days ago stating that his brother would arrive here on a short visit on Saturday. Mr. French will go to Los Ange- and in the last threes of death, the Doctor alighted, followed by the newspaper man, Deputy Constable Miller and Arthur Lewis drove up to take a hand in the affair. Both doors of the house were found to be locked. After peering through the keyholes and through the windows, and seeing no one, and calling and receiving no answer, the party concluded the house was after all not the one they were looking for. Getting into the buggies the party set out for another house a half-mile away, which tallied with the description of the Korn house and where it was thought, the man with the slashed throat must certainly be. No one knew exactly where the Korn house was. After arriving at the second house, it was found, after a systematic reconnoissance, that the party were still on the wrong track. No one was within. One of the party volunteered the information that he knew of a house near the Dreyfus winery that tallied to the description of the Korn house, and he was certain Paddatzer could be no place else but others. Away the party went if search of the house. Arriving at the winery, and finding no house that tallied to the description, one of the party suddenly recollected that he had seen a house very like the 'Korn house near the sandwash at the other end of town. Turning into West street again on the road to the sandwash the party soon passed the little black house again. It was conceded by all that it didn't look at all as though it contained a dying man, much less a man who had out his throat with a razor. Driving on a few blocks further several men were seen standing outside of a house not far from Center street. This must surely be the house the party were cooking for. The men seemed covered with funeral aspect. The man inside must certainly be dead. Driving up and asking for the whereabouts of the man who had alashed his neck, John Niedecker, who had brought the story to town, vouchoushed the information that Paddatzer was lying at death's door in the house the party had just passed. He pointed to the little black house. When told Paddatzer had refused to answer on the occasion of the first visit, Niedecker excitedly said the poor fellow must have bled to death. He got into one of the buggies and piloted the party to the house. Arriving again at the premises, all hands lighted. Niedecker hailed the man inside there was no response. The reporter got a ladder and climbed up and looked into the kitchen window. The floor was covered with clots of blood—that is, so it looked. The Doctor admonished the reporter to climb through the window and investigate, which the newpaper man positively refused to do, owing to extreme sensitivity at seeing a man with a bloody bilateral neck. Thereupon he descended the ladder and the Doctor ascended the apparatus. The blood spots were water or wine, he said. He raised the window and dimmed inside. What a splendid place to lay "To be continued in our next." But the stern dictates of newspaper propriety compel us to go on. The Doctor went on, as we said. Thinking the man inside, still alive and kicking, might take embrace at his presence, and alas at him with his razor, the Doctor was discreet enough to sieze a broom leaning against the wall. With this he would defend himself, and forthwith started, with the courage of Hamlet plunging through the fortress, on his tour of inspection through the little black house: The newspaper man climbed up the ladder again. At the threshold of the first door, into the room leading from which it was impossible to see from without, the Doctor halted with a start, and many of the people of Fullerton have been engaged during the week in putting in a levee at the sandwash above the county bridge, to confine the waters to their channel and prevent the repetition of last week's overflow into Orangesthorpe avenue. James Kirkpatrick of Dillon, Montana, writes as follows, under date of February 19th: "Please send a sample copy of your paper to one wading in a foot of snow, and oblige," etc. Mr. Kirkpatrick's wish shall be gratified, and the sample copy forwarded to him by the very first mail. Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Postoffice: [Ah Ko Co., Tom Bolon, Geo. Case, I. Goodman, F.C. Hazen, Mr. Joe Halcomb, J. L. Lane, S.H. Hampshire, S.O.

The opening of the Citrus Fair has been postponed until Mareh 10th, on account of the washouts. The proposed bankera convention to be held in Los Angeles has also been postponed a week, so as to be held during the time of the Fair. Monday, March 9th is Anaheim day, when reduced rates will be given on the railroads. Charles E. Stone and Mrs. Della Padatzer were married at the residence of John Wagner in Placentia on Saturday last, the Rev. Mr. Holcomb officiating. The wedding was attended only by the relatives and near friends of the contracting parties. The happy couple will take up their residence on Orangesthorpe avenue, near Fullerton. We tender them our congratulations. The washouts have been quite a good thing for the livestock. One at Santa Ana, who transported thirty-four passengers from that city to Los Angeles one day last week, made $170 for the trip, each passenger paying $5 for the ride. Several passengers were picked up for the home trip at $250 there are no flies on the average Santa Ana liveryman when washouts are in season. The man Beery, whom Constable Landell arrested on suspicion of being one of the Napacounty murderers, was liberated on Monday afternoon, a telegram from Napa, to which place his description and photograph had been sent, bringing the information that he was not right man. The photograph was shown to Greenwood, whose wife was killed by the murderers, and who was himself assaulted and left for dead, but he said the picture was not that of the man wanted. The Orange County Farmers' Alliance, representing 800 farmers, have petitioned the Board of Supervisors for the passage of an ordinance licensing and regulating the sale of liquors. The object sought is that communities outside of incorporated cities may have it in their power to prevent the opening of saloons in their midst; provision at the same time being made for successful protests.

But the stern dictates of newspaper propriety compel us to go on. The Doctor wont, as we said. Thinking the man inside, still alive and kicking, might take embrace at his presence, and slash at him with his razor, the Doctor was discreet enough to sieze a broom leaning against the wall. With this he would defend himself, and forthwith started, with the courage of Hamlet plunging through the fort, on his tour of inspection through the little black house. The newspaper man imbued up the ladder again. At the threshold of the first door, into the room leading from which it was impossible to see from without, the Doctor halted with a start, and sat down the broom. "Ah! here you are!" he said. The newspaper man jumped through the window with that graceful swing that comes only in long experience at the business. Edmund Padderatz lay upon the bed, rapidly drunk, with two or three small cats in his throat. His neck was stained with blood, and one of the ridges of the indigo pipe was exposed. After a slight examination it could be seen that there was not a particle of danger, unless Padderatz should sink into spinal menugitis on account of a superabundance of noxology. From Niodecker it was learned that Padderatz had celebrated his birthday on Sunday. He looked upon the port wine when was red. He got full. Gloriously full. He could not go to work on Monday morning, and so, at about 11 p'clock or shortly after, he seized a razor, so it is said, and tempted to take his life. He will recover. Dr. Bullard then went home and got his morder, and the newspaper reporter wondered by the man who illustrated Padderatz's act, deftly drawing his index finger across a throat, should allow himself to remain aside of the newspaper business. There is som for him at the top of the ladder. The World Enriched. The facilities of the present day for the production of everything that will conduce to the material welfare and comfort of mankind are almost unlimited and when Syrup Figs was first produced the world was enched with the only perfect laxative known, it is the only remedy which is truly pleasing and refreshing to the taste and prompt and effectual to cleanse the system gently the Spring time or, in fact, at any time and the better it is known the more popular becomes. Goodness! Was He from Placentia? Employer (to applicant for cook's position) "Your testimonials are good. Have you lover?" "Yes, ma'am, but he is only a vegetarian." At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors on Monday the petition of the Richfield Land and Water Company to vacate certain streets in the town of Richfield was granted on motion of Supervisor Schorn, to whom the matter had been referred for investigation. The petition of J. A. Whitaker and others of Buena Park for vacation of streets in that place was referred to Supervisor Schorn for investigation. Attention is directed to the advertisement of S. S. Federman, which will be found in another column this morning. Mr. Federman advertises a clearance sale to make room for new goods, and everything in the store has been marked down to very low prices. Our people should make it a point to ascertain what our home merchants are offering goods at before buying in outside towns or going to Los Angeles to do their trading. Step into Federman's and inspect his stock and prices. A man going by the name of Harry Lambert, who until recently worked for Lionsel Browning on his ranch at Fullerton, is wanted an suspicion of having committed murder near Prescott, Arizona. The murderer's name is Jack Grady, and his description is said to tally with Lambert precisely, even to the partial cutting off of three fingers on one of the hands. Lambert "skipped out" as soon as Beery, the suspected Napa county murderer, was arrested. His case looks very suspicious. A man named Dunning, who works on the Steel ranch (the old Bras place), a couple of miles east of town, was thrown from his buggy some distance south of town on Monday night while driving home with a companion from Santa Ana. Some one behind him in a buggy tried to pass him, when his horse started to run. The tugs became unhitched and Dunning in some way was thrown to the ground. The horse was quieted by Dunning's companion, and the injured man assisted into the buggy. He was taken to Dr. Hunt's dragorets, when the Doctor ministered to his wants. He is getting along as well as could be expected. Every newspaper man has at some time or other in his business experiences met the man who "now takes more papers than he can read." He was in town last week. He wiped his nose on the awning, tried to blow an ordinance licensing and regulating the sale of liquors. The object sought is that communities outside of incorporated cities may have it in their power to prevent the opening of saloons in their midst, provision at the same time being made for successful protests. At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors on Monday the petition of the Richfield Land and Water Company to vacate certain streets in the town of Richfield was granted on motion of Supervisor Schorn, to whom the matter had been referred for investigation.
