LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK Burglars Try to Blow Open a Safe. Bentz & Steadman's Butcher Shop the Scene - The Robbers Frightened off and Tracked to Pomona - Chinese Gun Practice - Tale of Two Misguided Citizens - The Patch Party - New City Hall - What Does S. S. S. Mean? - The City Solons. Burglarists attempted to blow open the safe in Bentz and Steadman's butcher shop at about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning. They drilled a hole through the side of the safe and had applied a charge of giant powder. The explosion was heard by the nightwatchman, who was passing in front of the Commercial Hotel. He ran down toward the butcher shop. His footsteps on the sidewalk undoubtedly frightened the burglars off, for it was found Tuesday morning when the men went to work that a second charge of giant powder had been placed in the hole and fuse and cap attached ready to be touched off. The place was littered with giant powder, burnt fuse and the debris of the first explosion. The burglars beat a hasty retreat through the rear of the shop, and drove off rapidly, in a cart or sulky, through the gate in the back yard and into Chartres street, whence escape was comparatively easy at that time of the morning. The gate at the side of the shop on Center street, through which many people pass during the day and night, had been fastened with wire, presumably that no one might run around into the back of the shop where the burglars had effected an entrance by breaking open the door. The nightwatchman could see nothing wrong, and in the darkness the robbers got away. When Frank Steadman went to the shop at a quarter to 5 o'clock he saw the hole drilled through the safe, and immediately set about tracking the robbers. The search was also taken up by V. Bentz and Nightwatchman Crandall. They found sulky tracks leading out of the back yard. They followed the tracks, which took them to Pomona. The safe contained $100 in coin. Monday afternoon Ernest Bentz had gone to the bank and deposited a large amount. This is what the burglar were probably after. They have a capacity to "size up" money matters that is strange, to say the least. The safe was opened Tuesday, the object of much through the finger were arrested for disturbing the peace and 'Squire Pierce fined them $6 each on Monday. The Patch Party The patch party given by the young ladies' Triple S social club at the Del Campo on Monday evening was the most delightful society event of the season. The young men were in clover. They had been invited by the young ladies—those of them who had been fortunate enough to be invited at all; the preparations had all been made by the fair ones, and, best of all, they paid all the expenses. Those young men who were in clover were showered with attention from the ladies, while those poor dudes who "weren't in it"—they were expiring with envy on the outside. "To think that my best girl would go and invite that hateful other fellow," said one poor broken-hearted cousa, as he wistfully sized up the merry couples from the outside. "Why only week before last I bought her some peanut candy and sent her a valentine too. That's what a fellow gets for being attentive to the ladies. Put me down for a woman later after this." But he never took his girl to a party in his life, and so when it came her turn to do the inviting she smiled by some one else. Leap year parties are very good things, apart from their delightful social features. It gives the girls a chance to get rid of bores. It also gives them a chance to pay all expenses. They invite the other fellow, and the bore stays at home. But those who stayed away from the patch party missed a most delightful evening. Of course there were the usual number of wall flowers, fellows who had run away with the idea that they "owned the town" and had more girls than you could shake at. But they turned out to be wall flowers. Poor fellows, what a difference it made to them in the morning! Every one appeared with patches—the fair creatures had ordained that they expected everybody to appear with three patches in sight, and the admonition had been given respectful consideration. The ladies appeared with patches upon their gowns, and the gay young fellows came with patches on their best clothes. Miss Selma Roller was floor manager, and a better selection could not have been made. The wall flowers and the dudes who couldn't dance were the objects of her especial attention. They all voted the lady to be the best floor manager they ever saw. Dancing continued until a late hour, and everything went merry as a marriage bell. The hours were chased with flying feet, and soft eyes looked love to eyes—but hold on! We came very near writing poetry. The time for leavetaking came all too soon, and all regretted to take their departure. The boys voted the girls facile princes as the boss entertainers. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Rust, Mr. PERSONAL MARKET Sheriff Lacy was in town business visit. Hugo Wetzel has locally at Reno, Nev. Mr. and Mrs. E. K. C.C., San Diego for several days. Fred Hartung of Los Angeles on Monday on a short visit. Coroner and Mrs. Eyre Riverside last Thursday. Mr. Meinike, a large man from Milwaukee, was in week on a visit.

Specimens of seen on display at The The nightwatchman could see nothing wrong, and in the darkness the robbers got away. When Frank Steadman went to the shop at a quarter to 5 o'clock he saw the hole drilled through the safe, and immediately set about tracking the robbers. The search was also taken up by V. Bentz and Nightwatchman Crandall. They found sulky tracks leading out of the back yard. They followed the tracks, which took them to Pomona. The safe contained $60 in coin. Monday afternoon Eroest Bontz had gone to the bank and deposited a large amount. This is what the burglar were probably after. They have a capacity to "size up" money matters that is strange, to say the least. The safe was during Tuesday the object of much curious interest. The hole had been drilled clear through the side and into the day book inside the safe. The explosion had torn away the outer covering of the safe, and the cement was shattered and blown in all directions. Another charge of powder would have opened the safe. An inspection of the safe shows that the burglar attempted to drill in several places in the door, near the combination, but evidently their drill would not "take hold." The painting is marked in several places, as by a sliding drill, and directly beneath the combination can be seen where the burglar began to drill but gave up the attempt. The combination knob also shows signs of ill usage. Evidently the burglar thought it easier to go through the side of the safe. Here they met with aminout success. The safe is not burglar proof. Once the drill started through the outer covering, drilling through the cement was easy. Had the robbers remained unmolested fifteen minutes longer the safe would have been blown to amithereens and the money taken. The robbery was undoubtedly committed by the parties who attempted to rob the Southern Pacific depot last Tuesday night. They traveled in a sulky or cart and used the same kind of tools. Our young friend Doe Reid, returning home from the ball, was on Orange street, near Sycamore, when he heard the explosion. He hurried along the railroad track to see what the matter was, and when near the depot heard a cart or sulky driven rapidly over the track. He thought nothing of it at the time, thinking it some party going home from the ball. The man in the vehicle were undoubtedly the robbers. Only a short time after they skipped across the railroad track they were being tracked out Center street by Bentz and the night watchman. They were pursued to the Brea Canyon, and Tuesday night word came that Bertz and the night watchman had tracked them to Pomona. During the night a ton of hay was stolen from the slaughter house east of town. Small lots of hay had been stolen from time to time, but no notice had been taken of it. When the theft was discovered Tuesday morning Frank Steadman, who is considerable of a detective himself, having been in the business in Oregon, tracked the thief to the Santiago canyon. He learned that the follow drove a four-hour wagon and stole the hay about 9 o'clock Monday night. He tracked the thief through the cactus road that goes to the Olive bridge, and then followed him to the canyon. He located the thief, and yesterday morning woke after him. Bentz and Crandall returned from Pomona yesterday afternoon. The robbers gave them the slip, but it was the closest "call" they ever had in their lives. At Spadra, which they ranched about an hour behind the robbers, they board that two men in a car had driven rapidly by, going toward Pomona. Further along one of the men alightened from the vehicle and the other came with patches on their best clothes. Miss Selma Roller was floor manager, and a better selection could not have been made. The wall flowers and the dudes who couldn't dance were the objects of her especial attention. They all voted the lady to be the best floor manager they ever saw.

The New City Hall. The new City Hall, bids for the construction of which will be opened by the Trustees at their meeting on the 9th instant, will be a substantial two-story brick structure of ornate architecture and will be a decided addition to the ornamentation of the city. The building will be erected on Center street, near the corner of Claudina, and will be 43x48 feet in size. It will be 36 feet in height and will be surmounted with a clock tower 54 feet from the street level. On the ground floor the Fire Department will be housed and the fire apparatus stored. There will be every convenience for the speedy getting out of the apparatus in case of fire. A wide stairway opening on Center street leads to the offices on the second floor. Here the Trustees will have their meeting place and the city officials their offices. In The Clerk's office there will be a vault for the safe keeping of city records and accounts. In front of the Council chamber, looking out on Center street, and setting back six feet into structure, a neat balcony twenty-two feet in length gives the front elevation a peculiarly handsome finish. The balcony will doubtless be as useful as it is ornamental, and will be just like thing for a councilman's siege of a warm summer's afternoon. The tower above will contain the city clock and balls. Probably Mr.Luesdé's clock will be secured for this purpose, as was suggested some time ago. When completed the building will be a substantial addition to that part of the city, and will furnish convenient offices for the city officials and a safe place for public papers and documents. The plans were drawn by Mr.Schindler and the specifications are by Mr.Gainait. The work does credit to them. When finished we shall have as fine a City Hall as our city our size in the State. Bids for the construction of the building will be opened by the Trustees at the next regular meeting, and it is expected work very close to writing poetry. The time for leavetaking came all too soon, and all regretted to take their departure. The boys voted the girls facile princes as the boss entertainers.

He learned that the follow drove a four-horse wagon and stole the hay about 9 o'clock Monday night. He tracked the thief through the cactus road that goes to the Olive bridge, and then followed him to the canyon. He located the thief, and yesterday morning went after him. Bentz and Crandale returned from Pomona yesterday afternoon. The robbers gave them the slip, but it was the closest "call" they ever had in their lives. At Spadra, which they reached about an hour behind the robbers, they board that two men in a cart had driven rapidly by, going toward Pomena. Further along one of the men alighted from the vehicle and the other drove on to Pomona, where he put the rig up in a stable. The fellow escaped out of town, leaving the rig behind him. He was given a very close call indeed. The Pomona officers are on the lookout for the couple, and they may yet be apprehended. At 7 o'clock last night, when we went to press, Steadman had not returned. Chinese Gun Practice. Saturday night about 10 o'clock our highbinder friend Sing Lee, who monopolizes the washee business in this town, and has a trigger finger that is characterized with lightness and freedom, heard that a Celestial friend who owed him two dollars was at Dak Lee's store around the corner playing a little game of poker. He forthwith meandered around to Dak's place to see if he couldn't collect the bill. Sing Lee did not forget to take along his trusty little pernader. He strode into the store of his hated rival, and sized up the arrangements. Evidently he saw his debtor, for a vigorous pistol practice was immediately set in motion. Several shots were fired, and Mr. Sing was shot through the right hand, the ball entering at the base of the thumb and coming out at the back. Another Celestial who lives at Dak's place was shot in the middle finger of the right hand, the ball passing entirely around the member and mashing the bone. He claims he grabbed Sing Los's pistol as Sing pulled his gun on the man who owed him the two dollars, and Sing Lee claims that the man who did all the shooting was the two dollar boy. Sing also claims that he himself had no pistol about him. This is probably an error. Sing had his pistol with him, and used it, too, in all probability. He also says he is determined to get those two dollars, or there will be trouble in camp. The only point about which the heatons are agreed is that the man who is responsible for all of the trouble made his escape. Who he is, or where he went to, are things past finding out. Sing Lee and the man who was shot Here's a Chance For You. Are you good at guessing? Who's in it? There seems to have been quite an interest taken in the S.

At about 3 o'clock yesterday morning the rain fell in torrents for a short time. vigorous extract about the pernicious practice a certain individual has of "running down" the sugar-factory: "In effect to a base report made by a Fullerton correspondent of a Los Angeles paper [the Evening Express] to the effect that the Analeim co-operative beet sugar factory was dead, that stockholders were beginning to feel faked, etc., we are able to say from an official source that, although it will be impossible to have the factory built and in running order this season, and even if the capital that was promised to build and equip the factory tails to show up, the directors know where and how to get the necessary funds. The factory is a go and will be in full running order in time to work up a full crop of beets next season. Further than this, if there are a few dissatisfied stock-holders who are anxious to drop out, there are scores who are equally anxious to step in and take their places." While Cap. V. Schaumacher was attending Mr. Putnam's lecture at Krosger's Hall on Monday evening his horse, in some unaccountable manner, became unhitched from the post to which it had been tied, near the hall, and made a bee line for home, creating quite a lively runaway and scattering things right and left on the way. The Supervisors on Monday passed an ordinance providing that bereather the expense for inspecting nursery trees for exportation shall be borne by the nurserymen instead of by the county. The new ordinance was suggested by Commissioner Perry of Analeim, who found that the inspection of nursery trees was causing considerable expense to the county. G. W. Fabun, who has a place down at Centralia, had a four-year-old pacer that he thought could make pretty fair time on a track. So he took him over to Santa Ana and sped him at the race course. The horses had never been on a track before, but he worked off a mile in 2:38. Mr. Fabun sold him to Blee for $200 on the spot. He thinks the horse has a great future, which no one will presume to deny. We have been shown some of the seedling oranges from Mr. Reiser's orchard which were shipped to San Francisco some weeks ago and for which he received a couple of cents per box. The oranges are certainly very fine specimens of seedlings, and the way they were disposed of was nothing short of dowuright robbery. Mr. Reiser is justly indignant at his treatment, and it seems he has good grounds to be so. Commissioner Perry is busy making a fumigating apparatus, and will begin an active crusade against the scale just as soon as he can get it done. We must annihilate the scale we have—and we haven't any room for any now kind. Mr. Perry is circulating a petition to raise the money to pay for the apparatus. It takes 41,200 to do the job. An in-depth look at the history of the city of San Francisco, known for its rich cultural heritage and bustling urban life. George H. Drees, who has recently arrived here from the East, has at the request of many citizens consented to make photographs at Schlange's gallery for two weeks, beginning Monday next. Mr. Schlange will give up the gallery, and will turn his attention in future to viewing. Mr. Dresses is a very fine photographer, and guarantees satisfaction. Specimens of his work can be seen on display at the Postoffice. The Irrigation District. The Board of Directors of the irrigation district met in regular session on Tuesday, the full board being present. Messrs. Buther and Berlin of Yorba appeared before the board and asked that the Yorba water rights be condemned. The Yorba irrigators had held a meeting last week, and had concluded that the district should, as soon as practicable, proceed to condemn their water rights, paying thereof in bonds of the district. Messrs. Buther and Berlin had been delegated to present their case to the directors, and after a thorough discussion of the subject the gentlemen were assured that the people of Yorba would be treated as fairly as any in the district; in fact, as a matter of course, had been treated so all the time. Mr. Buther said that it had seemed to the people of Yorba that the district did not desire to condemn their water rights. The Yorbas are willing to have their water rights condemned, and will take bonds of the district in payment for them. They could make an agreement with the board as to the value of their water rights, and they could be condemned without recourse to law. They wanted the court to condemn, and there the matter would end. Mr. Berlin spoke to the same effect, saying his people were not opposed to the district, but they had acquired the idea that they had been subjected to unnecessary delay in the matter of condemning their water rights. He argued that they should be condemned as soon as practicable. The directors assured them that nothing would be left undone to protect the Yorbas. With this the delegates withdrew, and probably at the next meeting of the board a proposition from the Yorbas will be made, whereon the matter may be definitely settled. Certain it is, that as soon as the bonds are issued or sold the Yorba water rights will be condemned. The delegates withdraw with the conviction that nothing but good feeling existed toward the Yorbas, and that their interests would be protected impartially along with other residents of the district. The Assessor's salary was fixed at $250 for making year's assessment. Bills to the amount of $691.70 were audited and ordered paid. The board then adjourned. Bad Tale of Two Misguided Citizens. Two citizens living in the northern part of town, their way homeward late last Saturday evening wending, hearing the fusilade of pistol shots from a neighboring Chinese wash-house emanating, both thought them of their own weapons their hind pistol pockets decorating. Forthwith they pulled their guns simultaneously into the air incontinently firing. Joyously they blazed away. Mr. Littlefield has procured some vine cuttings from Escondido, San Diego county, where they had no vine disease, and will set them out on his home place. All the way from Missoula, Montana, comes a letter inquiring about the death of E. A. Pullen. The writer is a nephew of the deceased. The information has been sent.

Two citizens living in the northern part of town, their way homeward late last Saturday evening wending, hearing the fusilade of pistol shots from a neighboring Chinese wash-house emanating, bethought them of their own weapons their hind pistol pockets decorating. Forthwith they pulled their guns simultaneously into the air incontinently firing. Joyously they blazed away, all unconscious of the Nightwatchman and Marshal vigilantly down upon them sweeping. Popped their pistols merrily, the popping never ceasing. Variously the air sounded with their guns, unceasing popping. Sudden drew the watchmen near, the gravelled walk aligning—grabbbed their clubs and lustily "Heart! Heart!" ejaculating—interrupted them, arrested them for their conduct all unruly. Satisfied, however, no gore to find upon the roadway wasting. Wherefore, upon their own recognition the citizens both departing, vowed, their offense explaining, to appear again on Monday before Recorder Pierce, august, stern and awful. It so being that the latter, his innermost conscience qualming—his kindly heart dictating—dismissed the case, his wrath at them a lecture demonstrating. The citizens to go preparing, with demeanor uncomplaining, when, lot another charge from out the Marshal's inside pocket reappearing, deals with weapons carried all concealing. Thereupon their jaws descending, eyes distending, discomfiture extending. Quoth the Justice, both them fining, stand up, citizens and hear your fate. Five dollars and forty-five cents each. They will never do it again. City Solons. The honorable the Board of City Trustees met in adjourned session last Monday afternoon. They ordered that the street car track, which had been graded only to West street, be graded to the Southern Pacific depot. The opening of bids for the construction of a caisson at the city water works was postponed until March 9th. The advertisement calling for bids will be found in another column. Petition of F. Backs and others, praying for the establishment of the grade on the corner of Chartres and Los Angeles streets according to the buildings and sidewalks now standing. Ordered that insamuch as all grades are now established petition be denied. Bills to the amount of $990 were audited and ordered paid. Adjourned. Our old friend Fred Fischer of Los Angeles, accompanied by his wife and little daughter, were in town on Sunday, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hartung. This was his first trip to Anaheim in six years, and he had to put in most of the time shaking hands with his friends. He is engineer at the Citizens' Water Works in Los Angeles, and is doing well. George Betta played with the Riverside cricket club against Los Angeles at the Riverside tournament last week. The Los Angeles club weren't in it. They scored 21 runs in their first inning, and then Riverside went to bat and piled up 256 runs. In their second inning Los Angeles made 10, Riverside winning by an inning and 226 runs. It is expected the crack St. George or Merion cricket club of San Francisco will be down to give the Riversiders a go in the near future. G. H. Duan informs us that he has contracts to set out 16,000 trees around Anaheim this spring, and expects to obtain a lot more. This will cover an area of 600 acres, and Mr. Dunn thinks before the season is out he will have put in half as many more. Over 2,000 acres will be planted to trees in this vicinity this season, and the area is curated on account of the lateness of the season. At seventy-five trees to the acre, this will take no less than 150,000 trees, and the number may exceed that. Mr. Dunn has been busy right along during the planting season, and expects to be at it for a couple of months yet. Albert Glass, who lives on the Atkinson place east of town, was arrested by Marshal Gade on Monday on complaint of John Koebler and others, charged with cruelly beating and maltreating a horse. The horse belongs to Glass and is a very fine animal, four or five years old. The neighbors say that Glass beats the animal mercilessly, and that a few days ago he knocked it down five times with a heavy club. Glass says he is a horse trainer and claims the animal is fractions and unmanageable, and must be whipped. The case comes up for trial next Thursday before Judge Pierce. This is the first case of the kind to come up in this city, and the plaintiffs are determined to push the matter to the end. We want no cruelty to animals in Anaheim, and if Glass is guilty he should be made to suffer for it. From the Anaheim correspondence of Los Angeles Times we take the following Miss Jettie Arthur of Pasadena, yielding to the solicitations of her many friends, will open a dancing school at the Dal Campo Hotel next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Miss Arthur is an accomplished teacher, and will give instruction in all the latest dances. Mrs. Sohubert has been engaged to play, and the class already promises to be large. Those desiring to enter the class should report at the hotel next Saturday afternoon. There are many of our young gentleman friends who do not dance and who have expressed a desire to learn. This is their opportunity. Miss Arthur will teach them how to dance, or will not charge them a cent. Samuel P. Putnam, President of the California State Liberal Union, lectured on "Evolution and Science" to an appreciative audience at Kroeger's Hall on Monday evening. Mr. Putnam is a very fine speaker, elequent and logical, and was listened to with wrap attention. The audience was not as large as it should have been, and when Mr. Putnam comes here again we hope to see the hall crowded. No man or woman of intelligence can afford to miss hearing this elegant orator. From here he goes on an extended lecturing trip through the South and East, visiting all the large cities. He will probably be with us again next fall. Capt. Wood Assaulted. Capt. S. O. Wood was quite severely beaten about the head with a loaded cane by the pugilist Billy Mannin in Mrs. Lewis Spring-street lodging-house in Los Angeles early last Friday morning. Mannin had called in search of a woman whom he had been acquencing for over the city since early in the evening, and when informed by the landlady that she was not in the house, he became somewhat boisterous, and Mrs. Lewin-Wood's sister law—called to Wood to object him. Wood was about to lead the man down the stairway when Manning struck him several times on the head with his cane. Wood fell to the floor unconscious and Manning ran away. He was subsequently arrested and put in jail. Wood remained unconscious during the night and for the greater part of Saturday but regained consciousness Saturday afternoon. Manning was held in $20,000 bonds. It has since been learned that Wood's injuries are more serious than was at first supposed. Yesterday afternoon it was reported that his skull was crushed, and that his recovery was problematical. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ISAAC LYONS, ... DEALER IN... Groceries, -:- Provisions!
