LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Recognition for Our Irrigation District A San Francisco Journalist Visits Us and Is Shown Our Capabilities Our Boundary Gilt-Edged Irrigation Honds of the State—Other Items—Election for City Honds—Town Trustees—and All the Local Happenings of the Past Seven Days. George F. Weeks of the San Francisco Chronicle, who is traveling through Southern California on a tour of inspection of the various irrigation districts, arrived in town on Monday morning and in company with the Board of Directors of the irrigation district and a Gazette representative, was driven over the valley and shown the many improvements, resources and advantages to be seen here. Mr. Weeks dropped in on us shortly after 9 o'clock in the morning. His arrival was in the nature of a surprise, as, although he had been expected for some time, no immediate announcement of his coming was made. Mr. Korn was first notified of Mr. Week's arrival. Securing a three-seater, the former gentleman handling the reins, the visiting newspaper man and the local scribe set out with him to gather up the other Directors. Proceeding to Mr. Ryan's place, a drive through his splendid orange grove was in order. This took Mr. Weeks eye. He declared he had not seen anything quite as lovely in a very long time. Mr. Ryan got aboard, and then the horses' heads were turned toward Dr. Spencer's place. The Doctor was found, like Cincinnatus, at his plow, which he was prevailed upon to temporarily abandon, and the party proceeded towards Mr. Crowther's residence. Securing the latter gentleman, the party was complete, and a drive was taken through the splendid orchards at Placentia—the Gilman and Botoria places, and those of Merras, Crowther, Tombes, French, McFadden, Wagner and others. The limited time at Mr. Weeks' disposal precluded the possibility of visiting each orchard, as he desired, but the manifold beauties of every place were greatly admired. Mr. Weeks declared our section compared favorably with any in the State. He had never seen the equal of the Gilman walnut trees, which stand sixty feet apart in the driveway and their boughs intertwine thickly overhead. Of course the party could not resist stopping at the Golden Gate. dewinks, blowing bubbles and other games. Those present were Jessie and Winifred Melrose, Stella Scott, Marilina Pampelr, Fritzie Heimann, Daisy Laudell, Blanchie Mitchell, Zeima Bailey, Flora Davis; Harry Davis, Carl Pamperl, Adair Scott, Neill Bailey, Willie Mitchell, Allan Melrose. Prizes were awarded Flora Davis, Marilina Pampelr, Fritzie Heimann and Stella Scott, the booby prize going to Adair Scott. Afternoon Ten. There have been many enjoyable afternoon teas given in Anaheim, but that given last Thursday by Mrs. H. Cahen at her home on Claudina street, in honor of the Native Daughters, certainly elipsed all others in artistic arrangements. The various corners of the rooms were beautifully by flowers in stands, the mantle pieces were banked with choice roses, the reception and drawing rooms were adorned with calla lilies, and the dining-room was a perfect dream of loveliess, decorated with ferns and chins, and flowers grouped around in a most tasty manner. Altogether it was most charming and long to be remembered. At the conclusion of the tea an invitation was extended to the N. S. G. W. to assist in progressive auctions. It was a decided success and reflects great credit on the clever hostess. Among these present were Mrs. H. Cahen, Mrs. A. Kahn, Mrs. Hartung, Mrs. Bates, Mrs. A. Rimpau, Miss Fannie and Margaret Higgins, Miss Dora and Minnie Zayn, Misses Theresa and Rebecca Harris, Miss Lute Bailey, Miss Eda Boese, Miss Wehmeyer and Miss Elizabeth Kuchal. A very pleasant evening was spent at eushire, and during the evening a bountiful supply of refreshments was served. Prizes were given the players, and at a late hour the party dispersed. Social Hop at the Commercial Hotel on Tuesday evening was greatly enjoyed by a large crowd, who triumphed the light fantastic until a late hour. Dancing continued until midnight, when supper was spread, to which the guests did ample justice. When the party dispersed, it was declared unanimously that the host and hostess were the happiest of entertainers, and that another hop should be given in the near future. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. John Everharty, Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Rust, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Eyr, Mr. and Mrs. A. Rimpau, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Rimpau, Prof., and Mrs. James, Mr. and Mrs. Crist; Miss Marie Horstmann, Miss Frances Schmidt; Miss Annie Everhardy, Miss Ida Everhardy; Miss Bentz, Miss Beatrice Smythe; Miss Resie Savin of San Diego, Miss Elizabeth Knobel, Miss Fanny Rowe, Mrs. A. Sahuark, Miss Theresa Harris, Miss Rebecca Harris, Miss Eda Boese, Miss Lissa Morris PLACENTIA FAVORABLE OUTSIDE CROPS—CABBIE PLACENTIA WAITING OFFICE EDITOR GAZETTE harvest I have ever worked in the hay field fort. The hay crop but there will not need for home use. The orange trees blossom; the walnut indications are good other kinds of fruits. J.W.Fryer has lost new potatoes at Fullers on the Olinda ranch; more to ship. Quite a good many ready to be shipped; it will hardly pay to cut cars of cabbage have centis; and with the orchids shipment will run season; at $200 a car; free comes out of the farm annually. What is this group's interest in building a road of their river and ship their prowess? Cabbage sells for East. The grower gets here. One hundred dollars well to Missouri river potato to pay $200. We are at the railroad. In the matter of the removal of the irrigation say that not a word has been removed from a single district. The people where it will accommodate its constituent nation bring their watchmen together to oppose the price Economy is its watchmen spigot and leaving them a little rent and kempt of the county back on the Anaheim Irrigation District to pay its way without spirited citizens; it had nothing so disgusting that dog-in-the-manger position country where land tracts it is sometimes water to each separates part running through an area cannot be avoided; and to know that the people Union Water Company has fast that as others permit pass through their lands the party proceeded towards Mr. Crowther's residence. Securing the latter gentleman, the party was complete, and a drive was taken through the splendid arch at Placeia—the Gilman and Botsford places, and those of Messar, Crowther, Tombas, French, MoFadden, Wagner and others. The limited time at Mr. Weeks' disposal precluded the possibility of visiting each archdale, as he desired, but the manifold beauties of every place were greatly admired. Mr. Weeks declared our section compared favorably with any in the State. He had never seen the equal of the Gilman walnut trees, which stand sixty feet apart in the driveway and their boughs intertwine thickly overhead. Of courses the party could not resist stopping at the Golden Balt winery, where excellent wines were passed around. Passing through Fallerton, the party drove in to see Mona. P. Nihelas, where other refreshments were in order. It was necessary for Mr. Weeks to take the 4 o'clock train for San Diego, and after leaving the Nicholas place, Dr. Spencer and Mr. Ryan were taken to their hemes. At Mr. Koro's place Mr. Weeks was treated to some sparkling eleven-year-old vintage—almost enough to persuade the visiting journalist to remain in Anakeim forever. Like the traveler who, having eaten of the Lotus, would fain live forever by its side, so does the average newspaper man, quaffing this splendid beverage that has laid away in the darkness of the cellar for eleven years, and which sparkles like rubies, sapphires and pearls in the sunlight, wish he might live along forever in somewhat close proximity to the cellar. Mr. Weeks' stay was all too short. He was desirous of seeing the country south and west of town, which he had heard so much about. Many places down on the list to be visited had to be omitted in order to catch the 4 o'clock train, but it is safe to say Mr. Weeks left with a very high appreciation not only of our resources, but of the hospitality of our people as well. The Chronicle will issue a special irrigation edition of forty pages and 100,000 copies some time in the beginning of June. Mr. Weeks is collecting data for this issue, and is certain he will give Anakeim a good send-off. Copies of the edition will be sent to every daily newspaper in the United States, and to board buyers both here and abroad. The edition will be of great benefit to the district, and it is expected that when the attention of money centers is called to the safety as well as the desirability of the investment, irrigation bonds will be more valuable than they have been in the past. Mr. Weeks has seen no improvements in any irrigation district in the state to compare with ours. We have old orange and walnut orchards to compare with the finest in the world. Many irrigation districts have no improvements worth mentioning. Yet the magic touch of irrigation will make their acres valuable, and they are justified in making large bonded indebtedness. By the issuance of bonds their districts are developed—without bonds their countless acres will be valueless and unproductive. We have orchards here making large returns in gold. Our bonded indebtedness is only $18 per acre, while others go as high as $80 per acre. We have 32,000 acres in the district. We see in the not far distant future a district of 100,000 acres, taking in all the country to the south and west of town. Anahog will be the central point of this vast and productive territory. We shall be the distributing point for this fairest and best section of California, and we shall count our population by tens of thousands. We have a great future before us, and the irrigation district is working it out for us. Our bonds are salable—they are the gilt-edged irrigation Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. John Everharty, Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Rust, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ey, Mr. and Mrs. A.Rimpau, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Rimpau, Prof. and Mrs. James, Mr. and Mrs. Crist; Miss Marie Horstmann, Miss Frances Schmidt, Miss Annie Everhardy, Miss Ida Everhardy, Miss Bentz, Miss Beatrice Smythe, Miss Resie Savin of San Diego, Miss Elizabeth Kuhel, Miss Fanny Rowe, Mrs. A.Suhubermiss Theresa Harris, Miss Rebecca Harris, Miss Eda Boese, Miss Lissa Morris of Seattle, Mrs. Classen, Miss May Rimpau, Mrs.F.D.Andrews; Mesars,Herman Dickel,A.Tomassa,Frank Rimpau,Frank Collins,F.C.SmytheJohn SmytheJohn Schauman,L.BaileyWilliam DunlapProf.B.R.GroganHenry StrodthoffEd Morganand others. Ah Lay and His Cent. It will be remembered that in the latter part of December last Federman's store was entered by thieves one evening while the clerks were busy waiting customers and about a dozen fine coats and vests that were on display in the front part of the store were carried away. One day last week Mr.Federman espied a Chinaman in town wearing one of the coats.The Mongolian was arrested,and was tried before Judge Pierce on Tuesday.Hew was acquitted,a there was no evidence that he stole the coat.The Chinaman claims to have purchased it in Los Angeles. The Mongolian's name is Ah Lay.so he has taken the paints to inform us,and he claims to be a "good boy."Ah Lay called at our office on Tuesday evening and desired to pay for any favorable notice we should write about him.Ho stipulated that he waunted all the people to know that he is a hard working man and would never think of stealing a coat or anything else.We charge him nothing for making the announcement,and hope that herafter he will keep out of trouble by buying his coats in Anakeim instead of going to Los Angeles for them. The Coming Special Election for City Bonds EDITOR GAZETTE.-The proposition made to the taxpayers and voters of this city by the Board of Trustees, whether or not the city shall incur an indebtedness of $15,000 for various purposesis an important one for the future welfare of this community,and it behooves every taxpayer to see that he votes intelligently on this question on June 2d.As near as I can learn there is very little if any opposition to the extension and completion of the water works,the general improvement of all the public streets and the purchase of property for the fire department.The stumbling block seems to be the erection of a city hall building and it is feared that the proposition may split on that rockTherefore I will confine myself only to this proposition.I hold that the erection of a City Hall is quite as necessary as any of the above mentioned improvements,for the reason that it not only adds to the general improvement and common wealth of this city but also that it will be a paying investment.The city now pays rent and has done so for years for the so-called town hall building on Los Angeles street at the rate of $2 per month.The building is totally unfit for the purposes for which it is used.By reason of its displaced condition.it offers little or no security for spigot and leaving them a little rent and keeping them at water to each separate pass out running through an area cannot be avoided,and it cannot know that the people Union Water Company has fast that as others permit pass through their lands permission to pass also,single example where a rail be bought,and until yet permission to go through every new piece of land in high state of cultivation enhance the value of adjudice should be no object water pass through where result.

Our bonded indebtedness is only $18 per acre, while others go as high as $80 per acre. We have 32,000 acres in the district.

We shall be the distributing point for this fairest and best section of California, and we shall count our population by tens of thousands. We have a great future before us, and the irrigation district is working it out for us. Our bonds are salable—they are the gilt-edged irrigation bonds of the State. And they ought to bring par. City Trustees. At their adjourned meeting on Thursday last the City Trustees heard the following report of the Marshal in reference to his excavations made in search of pipes presumed to have contraband connections with the city water mains: I have searched on all the malts from near Mr. Bernerschild's store on Center street to Mr. Bates' connection, and along the main across Center and along Clementine I found one connection, running east, which I off and followed. It stopped in Mr. Lan gengerger property, known as the Abello place. I take Mr. Bernerschild at various times to show me where he had once turned his water into the works of the city, and also where he had afew years later taken water to fill his tanks, but he has not yet given me any information. He avoids the question. He tells me to find it. I am satisfied, and hereby report that there is no connection in existence at present, at least just on the direct main. I found a number of pipe laying in Clementine street which do connect with the main and which undoubtedly belong to Mr. Bernerschild. I also found several other ones across Center street, leading into J. L. Schumacher's lot and into Mr. Yasperer's lot, but not connected with the main. Respectfully, H.C.GADE, Marshal. The report was received and filed and the excavation ordered discontinued. An ordinance providing for the prevention of the slaughter of insectivorous birds was introduced, to be passed at the next meeting. Judge Pieros filid his bond as City Recorder. Received and sited. In the matter of water and license delinquents, the Finance Committee was ordered to proceed against all parties owing money to the city. The committee were given power to employ legal talent to prosecute the cases. The board determined to advertise for bids for street sprinkling. The advertisement appears elsewhere. Bills to the amount of $496 39 were paid. Surprise Party. A pleasant surprise party was tendered Jesse Melrose last Friday evening. The evening was spent in playing Lotto, Tiddle- Special Notice: The Anaheim Building and Loan Association will have $2,000 to loan at its meeting on Saturday, June 5th.

G.D.Ingram,Garden PLACENTIA POINTERS FAVORABLE OUTLOOK FOR FULL CROPS—CABBAGE SHIPMENTS—PLACENTIA WANTS THE IRRIGATION OFFICE TO BE KEPT HERE. EDITOR GAZETTE.—This is the coolest harvest I have ever experienced. A man can work in the hay field with a coat on in comfort. The hay crop is very fine this year, but there will not be much more than is needed for home use. The orange trees were never so full of blossom; the walnuts are well set, and the indications are good for a full crop of all other kinds of fruits. J. W. Fryer has loaded several cars of new potatoes at Fullerton. They were raised on the Olinda ranch. He has several cars more to ship. Quite a good many cars of cabbage are ready to be shipped, but the price is so low it will hardly pay to cut it. About twenty cars of cabbage have been shipped from Placentis, and with the oranges, potatoes, nuts, shipments will round up 100 cars in the season; at $200 a car, freight is $20,000. That comes out of the farmers of this one locality annually. What is the matter with the farmers and other parties joining together and building a road of their own to the Missouri river and ship their produce at nominal rates? Cabbage sells for from $38 to $45 a ton East. The grower gets from $6 to $10 a ton here. One hundred dollars a car would pay well to Missouri river points; instead we have to pay $200. We are all simply working for the railroad. In the matter of the controversy about the removal of the irrigation district office, I will say that not a word has reached us in favor of removal from a single resident of the second district. The people here desire the office where it will accommodate the greatest number of irrigators. Our Director has misrepresented his constituents ever since his election, by opposing the progress of the district. Economy is his watchword—stepping at the spigot and leaving the bunghole open; saving a little rent and keeping the development of the county back for two years. If the Anaheim Irrigation District cannot afford to pay its way without taxing a few liberal-spirited citizens, it had better cause to exist. Nothing is so disgusting to good citizens as the dog-in-the-manger policy. In every irrigation country where land is divided up into tracts it is sometimes impossible to get water to each separates parcel of land without running through an adjoining tract. This cannot be avoided, and it is very gratifying to know that the people of the Anaheim Union Water Company have recognized the fast that as others permitted the water to pass through their lands, so they will give Kleinigkeiten. —The notice to creditors in the estate of B. F. E. Kellogg, deceased, appears in our advertising columns this morning. —Another skating carnival occurs at the rink on Saturday evening. Read the advertisement and go and have a good time. —a party of a dozen of our citizens will visit Chino to morrow, leaving here at 8 o'clock A.M. and returning in the evening. —the weather has continued cool and cloudy during the week. On Tuesday morning the fog was so heavy it resembled a mist. —the Trustees have determined to increase the street sprinkling area, and advertise for bids elsewhere in this morning's paper. —Who is "Laurie Annie?" Will she send her name to this office? Anonymous letters are rarely given attention in newspaper offices. —Dak Lee & Co. have opened a Chinese and Japanese art goods emporium on Charles street, and advertise the same in this issue. —Alex Wright was beaming in smiles on Tuesday over the arrival of a son and heir at his home. They say "he's just the picture of his pa." —Since Grace Kline has got her name in the papers in Los Angeles, all her old heaux in town are walking around with incipient spinal meningitis. "It was reported on Sunday evening that a woman had been drowned in one of the water company's ditches cast off town. There was no truth in the report however. —Louis Bolz advertises a pigeon shoot at the Landing on Sunday, together with boating, fishing, dancing and a general good time. The Norwalk band will be there. While in Los Angeles last week we were informed that our old friend Hudson at times casta longing eyes at Anaheim and at other times would even return. Shoo, Hudson! Shoo! -Joe Dye, who was shot and killed in Los Angeles a few days ago, left an estate valued at $200,000. He was quite well known throughout the country, and in early days was often seen in Anaheim. >The Board of Supervisors on Monday instructed the District Attorney to draft an ordinance prohibiting the staking of any kind of stock on county roads, under a penalty of $5 for each offense. -Photographer Mamaker of Santa Ana was ever so near on Friday. Ana. Deceased had lived at Santa Ana for many years. He had lately been on a protracted spree and died from excessive use of stimulants. —The announcement is made of the wedding of Guy W. Highby to Miss Maude E. Wright, formerly of this place, which interesting event took place at Seeley Mills, Nebraska, a few days ago. The bride had many friends here, all of whom join in congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Sorenson celebrated their silver wedding anniversary on Sunday, when some thirty members of the family sat down at the festal board. The worthy couple are to be congratulated on the happy event, and it is to be hoped they will be spared to enjoy many more of the happy reunions. —The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company met in regular session last Saturday, and transient routine business. Next Saturday occurs the stockholders' meeting, called for the purpose of ratifying the action of the Directors in the matter of the transfer of the company's property to the irrigation district. A full attendance is desired. —An enthusiastic citizen's meeting was held at Santa Ana Saturday evening in the interest of the Santa Ana and Westminster railroad. The action of the city council in discharging the commission to open Second street, whereby the railroad was to enter the city, was condemned, and resolutions were adopted asking the council to reconider the matter. Committees were appointed to secure the right of way west of the city, and there is a unanimous sentiment in favor of the speedy construction of the road. The projectors of the road had themselves placed under a bond to promptly build the road as soon as the right of way was secured. PERSONAL MELANGE. District Attorney Sanborn was over to see us on Tuesday afternoon. A. E. Hendricks was over from his ranch near Santa Ana on Monday. Mrs. P. Riebards of San Gabriel visited with her sister, Mrs. A. Rimpau, last week. Geo. Buck and family have removed to Whittier, where they will reside in future. Capt. Wood has been engaged on the electric road in Los Angeles for the past two weeks. Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Miller left last week for Portland, Or., where they will in future residence. apigot and leaving the bunghole open; saving a little rent and keeping the development of the county back for two years. If the Anaheim Irrigation District can afford to pay its way without taxing a few liberal-spirited citizens, it had better cause to exist. Nothing is disgusting to good citizens as the dog-in-the-manger policy. In every irrigation country where land is divided up into tracts it is sometimes impossible to get water to each separate parcel of land without running through an adjoining tract. This cannot be avoided, and it is very gratifying to know that the people of the Anaheim Union Water Company have recognized the fast that as others permitted the water to pass through their lands, so they will give permission to pass also. I cannot recall a single example where a right of way had to be bought, and until very recently where permission to go through was denied. As every new piece of land is brought under a high state of cultivation, killing squirrels and gophers and making improvements that enhance the value of adjoining property, so should there be no objection to letting the water pass through where no damage can result. Mr. Basten lost a horse from eating alfileria. Mr. Crowther lost a fine animal by a runaway in a disc harrow, the tongue breaking and the revolving disc cutting a leg off. The horse was shot to put him out of agony. Miss Marshall of Pittsburg, Pa., has been visiting Mr. McFadden's family. Mrs. Waters of Westminster and Mrs. Maxwell of San Pedro visited friends in Placentia last week. BORKA Unknown Dead. The body of an unknown dead man, aged between fifty-five and sixty years, was found in an advanced stage of decomposition at Bela Grande beach last Thursday afternoon. Corner Ey was notified and went down and brought the body into town. It was found on examination that a bullet had penetrated the brain, entering in the right temple and coming out on the left side above the ear. The body had evidently been in the water a week or two. There were no papers or other marks of identification upon the body, but in the trousers watch pocket $65 in United States currency was found, tightly rolled together. The pocket was stitched with a fine copper wire. The inquest was held on Friday. The jury decided that deceased came to his death by a gunshot wound inflicted by himself or some other parties unknown. The body was buried on Saturday, having been held until then awaiting identification. During Friday afternoon photographs were taken of the corpse, from which it is possible the man might be identified. It is supposed the man was murdered. It is not thought likely he would have committed suicide with $65 in his possession, and left no evidence to his identity. The man was killed, in all probability, and his pockets riffled, the roll of bills sewed up in his watch pocket being overlooked by his murderers. The man's nationality is unknown, but he is thought to be a Russian. He was not a laboring man. His hands were small and shapely and he wore a 64 shoes. His weight was probably 170 pounds. He wore false teeth, which however had been lost. Anyone desiring to see his photograph may do so by applying to Corner Ey or Sheriff Lacy. Hennan Park. Miss Fannie Ward of Los Angeles has been visiting her grandmother Mrs H G. Joe Dye, who was shot and killed in Los Angeles a few days ago, left an estate valued at $200,000. He was quite well known throughout the country, and in early days was often seen in Anaheim. The Board of Supervisors on Monday instructed the District Attorney to draft an ordinance prohibiting the staking of any kind of stock on county roads, under a penalty of $5 for each offense. Photographer Mamaker of Santa Ana was ever to see us on Friday, and took several views of different palm trees in town, of which there are many large and beautiful specimens here. Our readers will be surprised to learn of the Golden Eagle Clothing Company's retirement. But such is a fact. They are offering big bargains. Don't fail to see them. See their advertisement in this issue. L. L Bedoy was arrested on Saturday night by Constable Landell for disturbing the peace of the city. On Monday morning Judge Landell sentenced him to pay a fine of ten dollars or ten days in jail. The honest farmer, who last week lost at poker, has as it is said, given up poker playing, but claims to be able to hold his own at sancho, pitch, sledge or tiddler-winks. It is hard to keep a good man down. It is reliably reported that W. F. Botsford last week refused an offer of $33,000 for his orange oard near Placentia. As he paid $30,000 for the same, it will be seen that property investments hereabouts are first-class. The Women's Relief Corps entertained their friends with a musical and literary programme at Kroger's Hall last evening. The performance concluded with a hop. The ladies served cake and ice cream. A very enjoyable time was had by all. Joe des Granges' place of business has been removed to the premises on the corner of Broadway and Lemon streets. He keeps constantly on hand a full stock of pumps, pipes and fittings. Read his advertisement and go to see him if you want anything in his line. The case of the People vs. Hofer, for assault on Louis Bolz, tried before Judge Landell and a jury on Monday, consumed nearly the entire day and resulted in a disagreement of the jury—five for conviction and four for acquittal. The case will be tried again next Monday. Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Postoffice: John Adams, Mrs. D. Belge, Juan Capistrano, W. Clark, A. D. Covington, Gabriel Enocis, Felix Hess, O. Granger, H. R. Richmond, Mrs Louise Josselyn, Mrs G. Parson, Samuel Potter, A. D. Flatt, Mrs Mary Schulte, Mrs Dora Smith, Marion J. Vorhies. The Santa Ana youths who come to Anaheim on Sundays and get drunk and disturb the peace should be arrested and allowed to remain in jail over night. The actions of a gang of these thoroughbred young hoodlums last Sunday were disgraceful in the extreme. The Marshal will keep a lookout for them in future. Bees are becoming somewhat trouble- us on Tuesday afternoon. A. E. Hendrieks was over from his ranch near Santa Ana on Monday. Mrs. P. Rubards of San Gabriel visited with her sister, Mrs A. Rimpau, last week. Geo Buck and family have removed to Whittier, where they will reside in future. Capt. Wood has been engaged on the electric road in Los Angeles for the past two weeks. Mr and Mrs F. H Miller left last week for Portland, Or., where they will in future reside. Sheriff Lacy was in town on Friday in attendance at the inquiry on the body of the unknown man found at Bela beach. A L Pellegrin was in from the Santiago mines on Saturday. He reports everything in good condition, and the miners constantly handling big pay rock. G W Burton of Los Angeles was in town on Saturday in the interest of his new paper, California. He has a good field, and should make his weekly pay. D V Bell, S Philips, M L Wicks, G W Van Alatine, E S Tylery, W E Hopkins, Los Angeles; Geo L Alexander, H Meyerfield and wife; San Francisco; Jas M. Gerhardt and A F Ziegentus of Philadelphia were guests at the Del Campo Hotel during the week. John Hazes, Monrovia; M Metcalf, El Monte; J W Orr, S M Smalley, San Francisco; Geo E Purrell, Orange; E R Cenger, F D Bell, F Fisher, C E Day, J M Friedlander and family, Los Angeles; J R Bermett, New York; Chas S Cramer, Chicago; G Beaumont, Santiago mines; G W Lang, Texas; and John Holley of Westminster were guests at the Commercial during the week. Graco Falls From Graco. A shocking story comes from Los Angeles, to the effect that Grace Kline has stayed from the path of rectitude, and that 'a warrant has been issued for her arrest on a charge of vagrancy. It seems that she had been arrested on a similar charge before she came to Anaheim, and was at that time not quite what she ought to have been. After leaving this place she is said to have taken lodgings in a house of unsavory reputation in Los Angeles and on Tuesday Mrs Watson, Superintendent of the Magdalen Asylum, under whose care Grace had been before coming here, preferred a charge of vagrancy against the girl and the police were detailed to arrest her. It is said that when Grace heard the police were after her, she skipped for Chicago. Thus the story stands. It proves to be another verification of the Garvanza adage, the longer we lives, the more py Shiminey, we finds out. We don't care to have any more of Mrs Watson's proteges down this way. Send them elsewhere. Max Nebelung and the Reoster. Max Nebelung was sorely vexed at the depredations of a certain disreputable rooster belonging to one of his neighbors. The frisky bird played havoc in Max's garden. Max caught it and travelled all over the and left no evidence as to his identity.

The actions of a gang of these thoroughbred young hoodlums last Sunday were disgraceful in the extreme. The Marshal will keep a lookout for them in future. —Bees are becoming somewhat troublesome of late.

MAX Nebelung and the Rooster. Max Nebelung was surely vexed at the depredations of a certain disreputable rooster belonging to one of its neighbors.The frisky bird played havoc in Max's garden.Max caught it and traveled all over the neighborhood in search of its owner,但 was unable to find anyone who would claim it.He "shood"the bird away, only to have it return imbued with redoubted efforts to destroy his peace of mind.So the other day he caught the bird again, placed it in a sack and as he drove out to his raunch in North Anaheim, released the bird in the sandwash,north of town.With a vigorous flapping of wings and lusty cook-a-doodle-do,the bird started to return to town,但 became befuddled as to the correct route and is now probably wandering about slimly over the country.Max is a great and good man,with a generous heart inside of him,但 he evidently doesn't know that predatory and predacious roosters make excellent stew.
