EPITOME OF THE NEWS. The City Bonds Are Not Sold After All. Los Angeles Capitalists Claim to Be Frightened at Judge Wado's Decision—A Singular Delay, but for Which the Bonds Might Have Been Placed Peto Huff and Old Man Curtis at Loggerheads—"No Benns to Ship," Other Items. The honorable the Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon. Present, Chairman Reiser, and Trustees Littlefield, Witte and Schindler. The Clerk read the minutes of the last regular and special meetings, which were approved. The minutes of the special meeting held last week showed that Trustee Witte reported that on account of the decision of Judge Wado of Los Angeles relative to the power of the Assessor, the Main Street Savings Bank of Los Angeles, by J. B. Lankershim, had declined to take the $10,000 of city bonds they had agreed to buy. He reported that it would not be advisable to deliver the $2,000 bonds, sold to other parties, as the sale of the $2,000 would be detrimental to the sale of the balance. Following is Mr. Graves' letter in reference to the same: Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 29, 1891. W. A. Witte, Esq.—DEAR Sir: Your favor received. When I wired you that we had sold the first ten thousand of your bonds, Mr. Larkershim had agreed to take them for the Main Street Savings Bank of Los Angeles. Judge Wado has reasoned a decision in the case of the bank against the City Assessor here, which would seem to eclipse the powers of the Assessor as to the assessment of the property of savings banks, and the Main Street Bank has changed its mind, and informed me this morning that they do not care to take the bonds. I am sorry this is so, but I cannot help it. With regard to the two thousand that Mr. Duques wants, if he is going to get them at all he wants them now, and in the form that he heretofore demanded them. I do not for my part consider it policy on your part to sell $2,000 of the bonds unless there is some hope of selling the balance. I am sorry to say we have exhausted our resources in this matter. If the bank had taken the $10,000 worth, we could have disposed of the other three. If you want to let the $2,000 worth go, let me know from you at once. Yours truly, J. A. GRAYES. The following is a letter received from Mr. Lunt in reference to the same: Los ANNIES, Cal., Oct. 29, 1891. W. A. Witte, Esq.—DEAR Sir: Referring to your convalescence day in regard to the placing of $15,000 of city bonds through the entire month of September, which was quite warm, forcing out soft corn and shriveling immature growths. The results is a well-triped crop somewhat variable in quality, with a moderate proportion of chaffy, unfilled and immature ears. The eastern and western ends of the bolt, Ohio and Iowa and Nebraska, gave somewhat better yields than Indiana and Illinois or Missouri and Arkansas. The lower level of the great corn belt suffered more from the threatened draught than the higher elevations. Dr. Hunt's Drugstore Had Nothing to Do With It. The usual peace and quiet of our city was disturbed on Tuesday morning by an encounter between a prominent merchant and another citizen who is not so prominent. The former is one of the most peaceful citizens in town, but when it comes to the manly art of self defense he is in it every time. Both parties met in front of Dr. Hunt's drugstore on Tuesday morning, and biff went the merchant's fist into the jaw of the other fellow. Several similar biffs followed, and an excited crowd got ready to enjoy a first-class sorap, when Policemen Gade and Pullen have in sight and stopped the fun. Although the encounter was short, the merchant's terrible fist did deadly work, and so it happened the other fellow's face was bathed it blood. A large crowd gathered around, and all expressed a wish that the officers might have been in a different part of the city at the time. But the majesty of the law had to be respected, and the man with blood on his face retired and "washed up." The merchant went back to his store, and within fifteen minutes was waiting on a stream of customers, who called to pay their respects and avail themselves of the biggest bargains of the season. No one could tell but that he had forgotten all about the lively encounter. It is proper to say that Dr. Hunt's drugstore had nothing to do with the light. "No Benns to ship." We heard a good one on Clay Kellogg the other day. Some years ago, it seems, a large tract of valuable land over in San Bernardino county was in dispute and had passed through the courts on up to the United States Supreme Court for adjudication as to its meters and bounds. The land in question was claimed by a rich syndicate, but many people, among whom was Clay, regarded the property as Government land. Clay had all over the land, and probably know PERSON Lionel Brown northern trip. N. Deutsche an Monday at J. M. Parking the Singe yesterday. Mr Kay who was very low recovering. Silas K. H.

I am sorry this is so, but I cannot help it. With regard to the two thousand that Mr. Duque wants, if he is going to get them at all he wants them now, and from that for them he best defends them. I do not for my part consider it politic our part to sell $2,000 of the bonds unless there is some hope of selling the balance. I am sorry to say we have exhausted our resources in this matter.

The following is a letter received from Mr. Lunt in reference to the same: LOS ANGELES, CA, Oct 29, 1831. W. A. Witte, Esq.—DEAR SIR: Referring to your conversation yesterday in regard to the placing of $15,000 of city improvement bonds of Anaheim, I may ask you given the matter a good deal of thought and an opinion you can possibly place there at par in California. The bond market in San Francisco is overrun, but there is a party in the East I think would take these bonds and I could sell them so as to net you $14,000. I believe. This would leave me a very small commission—less than you talked of yesterday. Now if you can get the necessary authority from your board to authorize me to dispose of these bonds, of course at par, or ostensibly so, but as a matter of fact to net the city $14,600, let me and I will get a reply from the East by telegram. This, I am satisfied, is the very best I can do in the matter and kindly do not delay if you want me to take hold of it. I have some property in Anaheim and am anxious to see the town up and there is no reason why Anaheim should hold such forward move. The sale of these bonds and a judgment of the money would help the place very much. You're very truly, H. E. LUNT. Trustees Witte said he expected to hear further from the brokers in a day or two. Mr. Lunt was expecting information from his people in the East about the bonds, and on receipt of this information more will be known about them. At present the matter stands in status quo. While the banks were yet dosirous of buying the bonds, and the bonds were supposed to be ready for delivery, a technical flaw was found in them—and to be the fault of the Los Angeles lithograph company which printed the bonds—and the work had to be done over again. Thus this delay worked the undoing of the sale. The bill of the lithograph company for printing the bonds, amounting to $110, was yesterday deferred until an investigation can be made. ROUTINE BUSINESS. The Marshal made a verbal report showing the collection of $364 for license and water during the month. Also that he had deposited $3,069 for city taxes, and that only $138 remains delinquent. The Committee on Public Improvements reported progress on cleaning and repairing streets. The committee was instructed to put in a necessary culvert on the corner of Los Angeles street and Broadway. The application of Messrs. Bantz for extension of the city water mains was deferred until a future meeting. The Treasurer reported $3,995 S$ in bank in favor of the city. The City Recorder reported the collection of $20 from Joseph Bennerscheidt, for back licenses. The application of Clark Minor for erection of a building, 10x18 feet, on Los Angeles street, between Federman's building and Schaunan's blacksmith shop, to be used as an office for nurseries to be established on the vacant property at that point, was granted, the building to have its sides, rear and roof of galvanized iron and weather-board front. Application of Messrs. G. Davis, H. Cahen, Pluz James, Rimpau Bros., S. S. Federman and A. Langenberger, for reduction of license. Trustees Witte and Schindler thought no reduction should be made. Adolph Rimpau and H. Cahen addressed the board in favor of the reduction. After a lengthy discussion, and on learn- "No Beans to ship." We heard a good one on Clay Kellogg the other day. Some years ago it seems, a large tract of valuable land over in San Bernardino county was in dispute and had passed through the courts on up to the United States Supreme Court for adjudication as to its metes and bounds. The land in question was claimed by a rich syndicate, but many people, among whom was Clay, regarded the property as Government land. Clay had been all over the land, and probably knew as much of its survey as anybody. He was satisfied the tract was Government land—at least was of the opinion that the Supreme Court would decide it that way. When the case finally got to the Supreme Court, a few gentlemen "on the inside" formed a company to preempt the land as soon as the court should decide it to belong to the public domain. Clay was one of the leading spirits in the movement, and had picked out the finest piece in the tract to be his own as soon as the court made a favorable decision. This company hired a reporter at Washington to watch the case and telegraph them as soon as the decision was handed down. The reporter was paid $40 per month and while watching for the decision kept the company informed about the case—when it would probably come up and when a decision might be looked for. If a favorable decision were rendered the reporter was to telegraph the boys: "Beans in your car. Arrange for side-track." Then the boys would scoot over to the property, settle on it and claim it before the outsider knew what was up. If the court decided in favor of the syndicate, and the land was not of the public domain, the reporter was simply to telegraph "No beans to ship." The reporter was kept at Washington for four months. During this time Clay was called to Ventura county to do some surveying. He paid a man $15 a day to watch for that telegraph, and instructed him if a favorable reply were received to make for the tract and prescript it as soon as the Lord would let him. Clay returned from Ventura after he got through surveying, and still no answer came. The company had to levy another assessment to pay the reporter. Finally, when the company's patience was well-night exhausted, Clay behold the telegraph operator making for him poste haste, and his heart beat with high hopes as he fancied himself possessed of the best pieces of land in all that disputed territory. But when the telegraph man approached within bailing distance, he called out: "Say that man says he hasn't got no beans to ship!" Since that time Clay has settled down to surveying, and you can't get him to look at a piece of Government land now for love or money. Buenna Park. Last Sunday was an eventful day at this place. "It is good to be in at the first things' and everybody who was at the services at the new church was highly pleased and more than gratified at the results." The church was dedicated free of debt but leaves a great deal of work to be done to redeem pledges.

Statistical returns to the Department of Agriculture for October make the corn crop one of the largest in volume, with the rate of field slightly above the average of 26 bushels per acre. The condition has not been very high at any period of its growth, but it has been quite uniform with no record of more than 10 per cent of the disabilities from all causes. Planting was irregular and late. In many places the growth was tardy and uneven, and fears of drought or floods or frosts, were very generally felt in the latter part of the season. Storms in some sections threatened loss which was minimized. Drought in others checked growth, which was stimulated again by opportunity "seasons of moisture." Frosts made an early threat of disaster and then delayed its appearance. Last Sunday was an eventful day at this place. "It is good to be in at the first things" and everybody who was at the services at the new church was highly pleased and more than gratified at the results. The church was dedicated free of debt but leaves a great deal of work to be done to redeem pledges.

The Endeavor Society services have been held in the church every evening of this week; preaching by Rev. Collins. The L. M. A. S will give a fine concert next week in the new schoolhouse. It will be of a social nature. Everybody is invited to attend. There is a company now at work developing the water from Coyote creek for irrigating purposes. They expect there will be at least three hundred inches developed, and it is anticipated that the landholders will take stock in the enterprise, which will be a grand thing. An excursion of about one thousand persons, mostly members of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, went on Friday over the Terminal road to Long Beach and San Pedro to celebrate the opening of the line. The branch is twenty-seven miles long, and much work on terminal facilities remains to be done at San Pedro, chiefly on Rattlesnake island, in the bay, much of which island is a swamp which will have to be besieged (Besides this branch the Terminal now has a branch to Altadena, near Pasadena, sixteen miles, and a narrow gauge branch to Verdugo Park, ten miles). It contemplates extending the San Pedro road into this valley. Harker's Harness Shop. W. R. Harker keeps a full line of everything found in a first-class harness shop.

It’s at Loggerheads that Pete Huff and Old Man Curtis Are. Pete Huff and old man Curtis lived together in a little house near the fruit dryer. Their relations were of the pleasantest sort, until Curtis’s fiddle scraping drove Pete to hard drink. Pete was never a Propositionist, but he never got so drunk in all his born days as last Friday night, and he says it was all on account of old man Curtis’s fiddle scraping—which is enough to give anybody the itch. So when Pete came home late that night he raised such a rumpus that Curtis had him arrested the next morning for disturbing the peace of the night before. Pete was brought before “Squire Pierce early Saturday morning,” still suffering from the effects of his sociable jag of the night before. Curtis himself had a comfortable load on, to keep up with the procession. The “Squire find Pete eight simoleons for his racket, and now Pete and Paganiell Curtis never speak as they pass by. Pete retaliated on Tuesday afternoon.Now the differences between the two cannot possibly be healed this side of the cold and silent tomb.Pete had the old man arrested Constable Landell served the warrant.It charges the old man with using loud and abusive language toward Pete, reviling him and disturbing his peace of mind.The old man had applied opprobrious and contumeli-ous epithets to Pete,Had asperSED his character,had abused,traduced and villified him,and had called him a whole lot of things.As the shadows of eventide were falling fast the old man was ushered into the awful presence of “Squire Landell.The old man said he didn’t do anything of the kind that Pete started the racket,and that he wasn’t going to be abused. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” demanded the Judge,with a cough.The Judge caught a cold the other evening,and was not in a particularly amiable frame of mind. “I’m innocent,sir,on me word," with one hand on his heart,and the other one,bending over,funneling his ear. The Judge gave him half an hour to think it over,and remanded him into the custody of the constable. Subsequently the old man was allowed to has this about our former townman: L.A.

Pete retaliated on Tuesday afternoon.Now the differences between the two cannot possibly be healed this side of the cold and silent tomb.Pete had the old man arrested Constable Landell served the warrant.It charges the old man with using loud and abusive language toward Pete,reviling him and disturbing his peace of mind.The old man had applied opprobrious and contumeli-ous epithets to Pete,Had asperSED his character,had abused,traduced and villified him,and had called him a whole lot of things.As the shadows of eventide were falling fast the old man was ushered into the awful presence of “Squire Landell.The old man said he didn’t do anything of the kind that Pete started the racket,and that he wasn’t going to be abused. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” demanded the Judge,with a cough.The Judge caught a cold the other evening,and was not in a particularly amiable frame of mind. “I’m innocent,sir,on me word," with one hand on his heart,and the other one,bending over,funneling his ear. The Judge gave him half an hour to think it over,and remanded him into the custody of the constable. Subsequently the old man was allowed to has this about our former townman: L.A.Desmond’s stay and grain business has increased to such an extent that he finds it imperative to establish a warehouse in which conduct his business,and will shortly commence the erection of a large building for this purpose on his property on Pacific avenue。他 will also open a lumber and building material yard as soon as he can complete the necessary arrangements.

The old man said he didn't do anything of the kind, that Pete started the racket, and that he wasn't going to be abused. "Are you guilty or not guilty?" demanded the Judge, with a cough. The Judge caught a cold the other evening, and was not in a particularly amiable frame of mind. "I'm innocent, sir, on me word," with one hand on his heart, and the other one, bending over, funneling his ear. The Judge gave him half an hour to think it over, and remanded him into the custody of the constable. Subsequently the old man was allowed to go on his own recognition for the night. He was told to show up in the morning for his trial. When court opened yesterday morning Pete was on hand to tell what he knew about the affair, but a painful rumor floated in and out of the courtroom to the effect that Curtis had skipped out for pastures new, and would not be on hand for his trial. Pete sat in the cold and cheerless courtroom throughout the morning hours, looking for the absent one. Once or twice he rose from his chair and went to the door and looked up and down the street to see if he could catch a glimpse of his former partner. But he couldn't. At noon court adjourned for lunch, and a search was instituted for the missing man. One man said he had seen Curtis early in the morning putting for the S.P. depot, where it was supposed he got aboard the first train out, and thus effected a mysterious disappearance. All yesterday afternoon and late into the evening the eagle eye of the law looked for Curtis; but he neglected to appear. Station Agent Darling telephoned up that Curtis had not taken any train out. Station Agent Hill telephoned he didn't know the man. Late last evening a council of war was called, and as it was evidently a case of quien sabe, with the accent on the sabe, court was adjourned for the day. The portcullis fell and the legal mill adjourned over until this morning. Curtis when found will have to answer to the charge of contempt of court along with the charge of disturbing the peace. As we go to press Curtis is not in sight, and Pete says he will swear off and smile alone. Curtis was found at his home last evening.

Marshal Gade had seven tramps in the city bastile over Sabbath evening. He gathered them in at the fruit dryer, where they had congregated after blowing in from Los Angeles. 'Squire Landell gave three of them ten days in the county jail, and the rest were turned loose to make their way out of town. The advertisement of the law firm of Mendelson & Burke, who have lately opened an office at Santa Ana, will be found in another column this morning. Mr. Burke is an old practitioner, and Mr. Mendelson, who is well known here, is a young man of intellectual attainments who has recently been admitted to practice in the Supreme Court. Hobo Frank Suden came to town, one day last week, not so fortunate as to be riding on apony. He foolishly allowed himself to become "loaded," was arrested and hurled into the body of the jail, where he remained over night, calling it anything but macaroni. Conveyed into the presence of 'Squire Landell next day, that august potentate gave him the benefit of $10 or ten days. He chose the latter remedy, and is now serving on his sentence in the county jail. Samuel P.
