THE WEEK'S RANDOM JOTS Opening of Bids For the Irrigation Bonds. The Board of Directors Discuss Them, and Deter Action Until Next Meeting—City Solons Meet—Betts Defends Lymburner—The Gardiner Case—Rain—Farewell Party—Social Notes The Board of Directors of the irrigation district met in regular session on Tuesday morning, all members present. The first business transaction was the ratification of the agreement for the transfer to the district of the Yorba water rights and ditches. The transfer is to be made by friendly condemnation suit, and payment will be made in bonds. In the matter of the sale of the bonds of the district. Two bids were opened for their purchase: One from Hugo Zuber of Los Angeles, offering to take $5,000 of the bonds at 90.05 cents, and the other from J. W. Northrup of Los Angeles, offering to take the entire issue of $600,000 at 90 cents, 25 per cent of the bonds to be taken and paid for sixty days, the balance in three equal installments in five, eight and eleven months respectively. Both propositions were discussed at length, and were finally laid ever for consideration at the next meeting of the board. Director Stadtegger of the Auditing Committee reported that he had gone over the books of the district, and had found them so far correct. Asked for further time, as the examination had not yet been completed, Granted. Director Crowther of the committee to inspect future work done on the upper ditch reported verbally, criticizing the work in parts and commending it in others. Requested to make a written report, to be submitted at the next meeting. The Secretary read the communications before the board, one being from Gan. H. I. Willey from New York, to the effect that there was at present no demand for American securities abroad, and that the domestic market was slow; also from F. N. Meyer, recently here, to the effect that he could not put in a bid for bonds at present. Report of Collector showing collection of $8 79 during the month. Filed. Report of Treasurer, as follows: Cash on hand April 4 ... $3,201 27 Warrants paid during month ... 449 49 was not represented in the action just tried, as no service of summons could be had upon him. His whereabouts is unknown to the Sheriff, who reported that he had been unable to find him. A stay of execution of ten days was granted to the defendants Kraemer and Parker, their counsel stating that they would probably make a motion for a new trial. City Solons. The City Solons met in adjourned session yesterday to hear the report of the special committee appointed at Monday's meeting to draw up specifications for the sprinkling of Center street from the S. P. to the Santa Fe depot. The committee reported, recommending the work and submitting specifications for the same. The board resolved to advertise for bids for doing the work. Two extra sprinkling carts will be required, and water will be piped from the tank at the S. P. depot to a point on Center street, somewhere in the vicinity of West. From this pipe water will be taken for the sprinkling of the lower part of the street. The proposals will be found advertised in another column. P. James and F. Ey appeared before the board in reference to constructing a sidewalk on Hermione street running north from Center. Action deferred until next meeting. Application of Dr. Hunt to have two factions connected with the city water mains, placed at his residence for sprinkling his garden. Ordered that same be granted on condition that the Doctor use the water also for domestic purposes. In the matter of paying a salary to the nightwatchman, who has thrown up his job on account of there not being enough in it these dark and rainy nights. Discussed, but no action taken. The City Attorney was instructed to draw up a contract between the city and J. P. des Granges for putting down a ten-inch well one hundred feet deep at the city water works. Offer of Jos. Bauer to sell to city twenty feet of his lot adjoining the city jail. Accepted, the price to be $51.20 for the real estate. The matter of securing a sand pump was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements for investigation, with power to act. At Monday's meeting Mr. Kioffer, whose seductive eloquence had wrenched a rebate of $3 license tax imposed upon the Y.P.S.C. E. musicale and C.O. supper given some time ago, appeared and stated to the board that insinuas much as the rebate had set some people to objecting, he requested the board to make the matter of the rebate a precedent covering future cases, failing to do which he should be compelled to refuse the rebate. The board wouldn't do it, and the $3 languishes in the City Treasury. Mr. Albrecht appeared before the board in reported verbally, criticising the work in parts and commending it in others. Requested to make a written report, to be submitted at the next meeting. The Secretary read the communications before the board, one being from Gan. H. I. Willey from New York, to the effect that there was at present no demand for American securities abroad, and that the domestic market was slow; also from F. N. Mayer, recently here, to the effect that he could not put in a bid for bonds at present. Report of Collector showing collection of $8.79 during the month. Filed. Report of Treasurer, as follows: Cash on hand April 4. $3,201 27 Warrants paid during month. 449 49 Balance on hand May 2. $7,751 78 The matter of the payment of the railroad taxes was referred to Judge Wilson. Petition of Wm. Schulte, W. J. Smith and others for exclusion of land from district. Messra. Schulte and Smith appeared before the board, giving their reasons why the land should be excluded. Action deferred until next meeting. Adjourned. The Rainfall. The rainfall up to yesterday at noon, including Sunday's shower, amounted to 1.80 inches, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge. Total for the season, 7.73 inches. The storm is the heaviest we have ever had in May, and discounts any storm we have had this season. Last season to date the precipitation amounted to 14.87 inches. On May 21st of last year a half inch of rain fell, which was the last of the season. The small amount of rainfall this year, as compared with the copious showers of last year, is offset by the fact that most of it fall at most opportune moments, and none of it was wanted. An inch of rain in March is worth three or four in November. We have had no overplus of rainfall this year, to be sure, but more opportune times for it could not have been selected. The rain for the few days will do a lot of good, especially to late sown grain and corn. The acreage planted to corn is not so large as would have been the case had the rainfall been larger, but a very large tract has been planted to the cereal nevertheless. Late sown grain is looking very fine after its wetting, and there will be fine crops. The only damage possible to result from the rain is to the new mown hay, and very little hay has been cut in this section. But the damage to hay is more than offset by the increased crops of barley, wheat and corn and the good the downpour has done the orchards. Local Option. The local option ordinance passed by the Supervisors last year provides that whenever a majority of the electors in any precinct protest against the issuance of a saloon license to any person in that precinct, the Supervisors may refuse to issue such license. At the meeting of -the board last Monday, the time having arrived for the yearly issue of saloon licenses, the time was largely taken up with hearing protests from various precincts in the county against the issue of licenses. Fifteen protests were presented, nine of which were allowed, as follows: Garden Grove, Westminster, El Medena, St. James, West Orange, Delhi, Newport, Laguna and the Fourth ward of Santa Ana. This ward takes in the race track, and consequently there will be no liquid refreshments at the races—never no more. Protests were filed against the granting of licenses to saloons in Anaheim, Fullerton, The matter of securing a sand pump was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements for investigation, with power to act. At Monday's meeting Mr. Kieffer, whose seductive eloquence had wrenched a rebate of $3 license tax imposed upon the Y.P.S.C.E. musicale and C.O.supper given some time ago, appeared and stated to the board that insinuach as the rebate had set some people to objecting, he requested the board to make the matter of the rebate a precedent covering future cases, failing to do which he should be compelled to refuse the rebate. The board wouldn't do it, and the $3 language in the City Treasury. Mr. Albrecht appeared before the board in reference to the bond of $1,000 imposed on him in addition to his contract guarantee for the new tank at the water works. Matter discussed, but no action taken. The Clerk was instructed to transfer the amount of $1,760 from the Street Improvement Fund to the General Fund. Mr. Schudler reported that Mr. Goodale was entitled to have his ditch replaced on Broadway. So ordered. Mr. Chynoweth was instructed to expert the books of the city for the past year. Adjourned. The Athletic Exhibition. The athletic exhibition at the Opera-house last Saturday evening was largely attended and was very successful from both scientific and financial standpoints. It was the best exhibition of its kind ever given in the county, and the management deserve great credit for carrying it out successfully. The ten-round contest between George Betts of this city and E.W.Lymburner of Fullerton was decided in favor of Betts who clearly outclassed his opponent as a scientified boxer. Lymburner weighed twenty odd pounds more than Betts, but except for a slight rally in the eighth round, he was not in it at any stage of the game. When men came together the difference in their sizes was marked. Betts looked all of twenty pounds lighter than his opponent. John Brink of Los Angeles was referee. Betts had no difficulty in lauding his blows being directed mainly at Lymburner's smoker. A description of the contest would be tedious. Betts landed twenty times in the first four rounds, drawing "the claret" in the second. Lymburner failed to land. Betts kept up his jabbing until the sixth, when Lymburner's seconds advised him to throw up the sponge. This he pluckily refused to do, taking considerable medicine until the eighth, when he seemed to recover from his groginess and tried for a knock-out blow. He swung repeatedly, but Betts was always out of the way. Lymburner landed once, but was groggy. He tried for a knockout, swinging wildly, but failed to land. This he repeated in the tenth, at the conclusion of which Refresco Brink decided in favor of Betts. Lymburner was pretty badly used up, but took his punishment manfully. After it was over he asked the reporter if he thought the audience was satisfied with the contest. Lymburner is a good man for his inches, and continued the contest when many another would have quit in the sixth. George Betts is undoubtedly the cleverest amateur boxer in Southern California. He has some time in Los Angeles, has been sent to lum in the northern state said that he recently tate in Canada. We have been shown from Mrs. Heimannu's ard that measures six ference. The orange is a superb specimen was before we ate it. "Hamun" Husain to shave the celebrant Blanche, who was doing last Saturday evening exhibition. Haman tha for a raise in his salary.

A large crowd pio The Gardiner Case. The suit of the Anaheim Union Water Company against J. S. Gardiner, D. J. Kraemer and Leonard Parker, came up for trial in the Superior Court at Santa Ana on Monday the 25th ult., and occupied the attention of the court on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. The case was bitterly contested by the defense, and a great deal of time was consumed in argument over the admissibility of testimony. The evidence was all in on Friday at noon, and the afternoon was given over to argument of counsel, the plaintiff's plea being made by R. Melrose and E. A. Meserve, and the defendants' cause being presented by Victor Montgomery and W. T. Kendrick. The case was given to the jury at 8 o'clock, and at 11 p.m. they had agreed upon a verdict, however, was not opened until 8 o'clock on Saturday morning. The verdict was for the plaintiff, for $1,000. The costs, which amount to almost $250, will also be taxed against the defendants. The suit was upon the bond of J. S. Gardiner as Secretary of the water company, Kraemer and Parker being his sureties. Gardiner was alleged to have issued the note of the company to F. Bockman (which he was authorized to do) for $1,000, and this money he is alleged to have applied to the payment of his indebtedness to the company at that time, and failed to charge himself therewith or to make any record in the books of the company of the issuance of the note. Its existence was not known until Gardiner had vacated his office, and until Mr. Bockman presented it to the present Secretary and demanded interest thereon. Gardiner has shipped ever a ton of sugar-beet seed from China to the Alvarado sugar company. It is the first shipment of best seed from Southern California. George Betts is undoubtedly the cleverest amateur boxer in Southern California. He was overmatched in weight, but came out of the contest without a scratch. He is particularly clever with his left, which he used with good effect during the contest. The lad was tickled to death over his victory. Had he been defeated it would have been nothing against him, on account of Lymburner's overweight, and his victory is all the more pleasing to his friends. He had the contest won in the second round—one could almost say in the first—and after the sixth round did not care to inflict further punishments. The preliminary events were three-round contests between Prof. Shannon, instructor of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, and La Blanche, the middleweight; and between Bernard of Los Angeles and young Peter Jackson of Fullerton. The first was a very lively "go," Shannon showing himself to be a scientious boxer and shifty on his feet. Both got together and mixed matters up in lively fashion. Young Peter Jackson shattered the hopes his friends had formed of him, by deliberately lying down when thrust once in the wrist. The evening's entertainment was highly satisfactory to every one, and the large audience dispersed feeling that they had witnessed a clever an entertainment of its kind as was ever seen in this part of the country. Afternoon Ten. Mrs. Adolph Rimpau entertained her friends yesterday afternoon at tea. The spacious parlors were brilliantly lighted, and the time was passed very pleasantly. Among those present were Mrs. Thacker, Mrs. A. Rimpau, Mrs. E. Browning, Mrs. Landell, Mrs. Melrose, Mrs. F.C. Rimpau, Mrs. Heimann, Mrs. Theo. Rimpau, Mrs. Dr. Bailoy, Mrs. John Everharty, Mrs. Kuchel, Mrs. A.L. Lewis, Mrs.Mossomann, Mrs.Ryan, Mrs.Scott, Mrs.Kirby, Mrs.Hartung, Mrs.V.Browning and Miss Luh James. Riehard Gird has shipped ever a ton of sugar-beet seed from China to the Alvarado sugar company. It is the first shipment of best seed from Southern California. Abraham Geier, who at Fullerton some ejected from the latter found guilty of an act weapon and been sent prisonment at Foltown, witness stand that he Wisser. He will have which to think over his about well again. A large crowd pleaded last Sunday, but their by the doings of a druid over from Santa Ana, T beer on tap in their wake making Rome howl. So looking for blood and there were several kinds of the offense will cause Louis Bolz is using a Landing conducted in and the youngsters fro better take warning. The Farmer's Alliage Grove last Saturday well as instructive affair of farmers from tryside was present, and by President Cannon, Pierce and others. At one of the finest lunchees in the afternoon the pit their homes, well satisfy outting. Master Frank Scott who lives east of town, killed by a horse attacking him on the leg. Before he he horse kicked him right temple, cutting inches. The little fell time and it was several ance arrived. The boy is getting along expected under the circ John Hartung has year-old grafted walnut place which he import France, at an outlay of are already bearing fruit is putting forth a curie shape of a tiny sight uncommonly rare of this prolific section grapevine several years Kleinigkeiten. N. Hart has fenced his lot near the Postoffice. He will put up a fine building there in the near future. Dr. Hunt has moved into his new drugstore. He has fitted it up as one of the finest drugstores in the county. It is all very well to enter a ten-round glove contest, but oh! what a difference in the morning! Hey, Lymburner! A jolly party of pionickers from Centralia and Orangethorpe Dayed in Santiago Canyon Saturday and report having had a very pleasant time. The case of Delos Morton vs. W. R. Harker, an action to quiet title, was heard by Judge Towner last week, and judgment was rendered as prayed for. The rumor has prevailed on the streets for several days that Dr. Gardiner was seen in San Diego last week. It is impossible to say whether the rumor is correct. Peter Arimond celebrated his seventy-sixth birthday on May Day. He is still hale and hearty, and his friends hope he will yet be spared for many years of usefulness. It would seem that the Los Angeles ball players are not in it with the stall fed San Jones. To lose four out of five games is positively indeed awful—as Sir Edwin Arnold says. Carl O'Kraffke, superintendent of our electric light system, has declared his intention to become an American citizen, and has taken out his first papers. O'Kraffke may be a policeman yet—who knows? A young lady out shopping last Saturday had the bad luck to lose a twenty-dollar gold piece, but after looking for it for a block or two had the good luck to find it lying on the sidewalk in front of Boyd's grocery. Marshall Haight, who formerly resided here, but some time ago removed to Los Angeles, has been sent to a private insaneayum in the northern part of the State. It is said that he recently fell heir to a large estate in Canada. We have been shown a seedling orange from Mrs. Heimann's West Anaheim orchard that measures sixteen inches in circumference. The orange is bright and clean and is a super specimen of the citrus family—or was before we ate it. Marshal Steadman made his first arrest on Sunday—that of a Mexican who had foolishly allowed himself to become unnecessarily close to set out a vineyard again, believing the mysterious vine disease to have run its course. John is owing out a miserable existence these days as a term trial juror. Prof. W. S. Morrow of the Santiago mines was married to Miss Mary Martin at Santa Ana last week. The many friends of the good-looking Professor wish him and his bride all manner of happiness, and hope that their pathway through life may be strewn with roses. The Democratic primaries passed off quietly last Saturday. Col. Everharty, F. A. Korn, Frank Steadman and Julius Schnoeder were elected delegates to the county convention, which meets at Santa Ana next Saturday. Lyman Ayres has been convinced of obtaining money under false pretenses in connection with the sale of a piece of land on the Cadman trust north of town. Defendants has been remanded to the custody of the Sheriff of Los Angeles county to await sentence. The Santa Ana people are agitating for a construction of a sewer system. They have had a lot of sickness traceable to faulty drainage, and are now resolved to rid themselves of the cause of it all. Santa Ana is sufficiently able to put in a sewer system, and if the truth were known ought to have had one long ago. Dr. Pfeninger has filed an appeal from Judge Landall's decision fining him $20 on a charge of tampering with the water company's ditches. The appeal comes up in the Superior Court before Judge Towner. The Doctor says he will carry the case on up to the Supreme Court, if necessary, because he doesn't think his fine was exactly "square." Mr. Conrad is agitating the formation of a company of citizens who do not own best land, for the purpose of renting 1,500 or 2,000 acres of land near here to plant beets. There is a plenty of available land near Anaheim which can be rented cheaply and the undertaking would undoubtedly be a profitable one. Mr. Conrad is taking a great deal of interest in the enterprise and it is to be hoped he will be successful in carrying it out. Joseph J. Stein, recently from Yuma, has accepted a position as bookkeeper in Isaac Lyons' store. Mr. Stein is an old hand at the business, and is busy to make many friends in his new position. He was for many years a resident of the territory, but resolved to leave it as soon as he set eyes upon our famed frostless orange belt. His family has arrived from Yuma and taken up their residence here. We extend them a cordial welcome into our midst. PERSONAL MELANGE. Miss Nettie Leonard has accepted a position as cashier in Lyons' store. Frank Porter, Jr., is learning bookkeeping in the water company's office. Gen. J. W. Shanklin of Oakland was in town during the week on a business visit. Miss Irene Fleming went to Redlands on Monday, where she will start a music class. Dr. James Maggard of Denver is in town on a visit to his father, Dr. Jacob Maggard. E. J. Bacon of the Gazetteer of Southern California was down from Los Angeles yesterday. James Bourn, representing the Sunset Wine Company of Los Angeles, was in town on Sunday. Mrs. P. E. Cornell, wife of Mr. Cornell, who has a position in Lyons' store, arrived here from Ohio on Saturday to remain. Kenyon Cox of Long Beach has our thanks for copies of New York papers; also Captain Schumacher for copies of Chicago papers. Mrs. Gustavo Heimann and the Miss Emily Heimann and Pansy Connor of Los Angeles visited with friends and relatives in town during the week. Charlie Fleming and Wm. Smith, Jr., who are working at the printer's trade in Los Angeles, came down on Sunday on a visit to friends and relatives in Orangethorpe. Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox of Philadelphia, who have been the guests of Judge and Mrs. Landell at Centralia, left on Tuesday for a trip to the northern part of the State. They will return in a week or so. Adolph Thomas has severed his connection with Isaac Lyons' store. He will take things quietly for a time, not having had a vacation in a very long time, and will get back into harness one of these days again. John Hart was down from Los Angeles one evening last week, only a few laps behind a "certain sure" piano customer. John says things are picking up in Los Angeles, and that he is selling more pianos than ever. W. J. Smith contemplates going on an extended Eastern trip shortly. He will visit all important points and will travel principally for pleasure. We join his many friends in wishing him a pleasant trip and safe return. Ike Williams was in from his ranch last Saturday, and reported everything looking well, except that the country needed rain. We arranged with the weather clerk to have but some time ago removed to Los Angeles, has been sent to a private insaneayah in the northern part of the State. It is said that he recently fell heir to a large estate in Canada. He have been shown a seedling orange from Mrs. Heimann's West Anaheim orchard that measures sixteen inches in circumference. The orange is bright and clean and is a super specimen of the citrus family—or was before we ate it. Marshal Steadman made his first arrest on Sunday—that of a Mexican who had foolishly allowed himself to become unnecessarily loaded, and was having his jag out in disturbing the peace. Recorder Pierce said six dollars to him Menday morning. "Hamau" Hussman had the distinction to shave the celebrated middleweight La Blanche, who was down from Los Angeles last Saturday evening to attend the athletic exhibition. Haman thinks of striking Frantz for a raise in his salary. Fred Crist has just received the finest stock of summer auitings ever brought to the county. He is making them up into stylish suits at very reasonable rates, and warrants a fit or no sale. Call on him and inspect stork and prices. Engineer Kellogg wont up to the Santiago Canyon on Monday to see about putting in a submerged dam for the Santiago Water Company near the mouth of the canyon. The improvements are contemplated by the El Modena and Villa Park people, who are preparing to irrigate on a large scale. Miss Jettie Arthur's assembly occurs at the Hotel del Campo next Saturday evening, the 7th instant. Miss Arthur will be assisted by the ladies of St. Michael's Guild, who will serve refreshments during the evening. Au enjoyable time is anticipated. A general invitation is extended public to attend. Company G went down to the Landing Sunday to have a practice drill on the beach and enjoy a May Day outing. Some of the boys got wet going down, but their ardor was not dampened in the least. There were a large number of people at the beach and everybody reports having had a good time. The Native Daughters, assisted by the other young people of this city, will produce "Visions of Fair Women" at the Opera-house in about three weeks. It promises to be an entertainment of rare excellence and will undoubtedly be greeted by a large audience. The programme will appear next week. Captain Spencer came in with a delegation of Park boys to see the athletic sports Saturday evening. The Park boys are all gentlemen of sporting proclivities, and splendid fellows in the bargain. We are always glad to have them with us, even if they tug on the anchor chain with big Kemp against us. Cap, and the boys are always welcome here. Abraham Geier, who shot Roman Wisser at Fullerton some weeks ago while being ejected from the latter's saloon, has been found guilty of an assault with a deadly weapon and been sentenced to a year's imprisonment at Folsom. Geier stated on the witness stand that he only shot to "scare" Wisser. He will have twelve months in which to think over his mistake. Wisser is about well again. A large crowd pionicked at the Landing undertaking would undoubtedly be a profitable one. Mr. Conrad is taking agreat deal of interest in the enterprise and it is to be hoped he will be successful in carrying it out. Joseph J. Stein, recently from Yuma, has accepted a position as bookkeeper in Isaac Lyons' store. Mr. Stein is an old hand at the business, and is sure to make many friends in his new position. He was for many years a resident of the territory, but resolved to leave it as soon as he but eyes upon our frostless orange belt. His family has arrived from Yuma and taken up their residence here. We extend them a cordial welcome into our midst. Secretary Garwood reports a brisk demand for water the past week, the sales running up some days to $100 and upward. During April the amount of water sold aggregated $1,633 26; of this amount $643 55 was sold to Anaheim irrigators, and $989 72 to those in North Anaheim. This is largest month's water sales in the history of the company, with the single exception of June last year, when the amount reached $1,000. The total sales of water thus far this year reach $2,769 17. At this rate the company will soon be able to wipe out its debt. Commissioner Perry is carrying on an active warfare against the scale. He has had a circular letter printed which he will mail to all orchardists in the district, informing them of the law and of the necessity for complying with it. The cost of fumigating will come to about fifty cents per tree for the larger trees and less in proportion as the tree is small. Mr. Perry is doing work in a very thorough manner, and after he gets through with an orchard his scalebase is dead beyond redemption. We saw some of his work day or two ago and know where we speak. He should be given every assistance by our orchardists, and every one should be ready for him when he comes along with his little paraphernalia of scale killers. We have received several packages of best seed from the Department of Agriculture at Washington, with directions for planting, which we will distribute among a limited number of our farmer friends who desire to try their hand at best raising. We have also a lot of the pamphlets on best culture remaining. These ought to be in the hands of every farmer in this section. We may add that the best sugar company have a large amount of seed at their office on Center street which is being distributed among the farmers at cost price. Get one of the pamphlets and put in a patch of best seed this season. Measures, Krueger and Turoke will analyze the beets when they mature next October and November, so that we may see just what our soil will do in the sugar producing line. The Board of Directors of the water company held a special meeting last Thursday afternoon for the purpose of investigating charges preferred by Director Strain against Zanjero Bird for irregularities in the distribution of water, and against parties at Placentia for taking water for which they had not paid. The fact was developed that Mr. Wagner had seen water running to waste in the sandwash and had asked Zanjero Bird's permission to turn it into his barley field. This permission was granted, and Mr.Wagner turned the stream upon his barley. After a lengthy discussion of this and other matters the question was referred to a committee consisting of Directors Rust, John Hart was down from Los Angeles one evening last week, only a few laps behind a "certain sure" piano customer. John says things are picking up in Los Angeles, and that he is selling more pianos than ever. W.J. Smith contemplates going on an extended Eastern trip shortly. He will visit all important points and will travel principally for pleasure. We join his many friends in wishing him a pleasant trip and safe return. Ike Williams was in from his ranch last Saturday, and reported everything looking well, except that the country needed rain. We arranged with the weather clerk to have it rain that night, and the rain came to hand as stipulated. C.C. Haley, representing H.S.Crecker & Co.of San Francisco, was in town on Monday and Tuesday on a business trip. Haley always does a lot of business down this way, and his visits are regarded as nothing short of swagger society events. Our old friend "Mum" Jerome of Tustin was in this neck of the woods last week, and dropped in to see us. It was his first trip to Anaheim in some time, and he was consequently agreeably surprised to note many improvements going on over this way. Judge Wilson was down from Los Angeles on Tuesday in attendance upon the meeting of the Director(s) of the irrigation district. Attorney Keech was also over from Santa Ana, representing the Yorbas in the matter of the transfer of their water rights and ditches to the district. Tom Merrill, who recently arrived here from Texas, was a caller at this office one day last week. Mr Merrill is one of the leading cattlemen of the Lone Star State, and has just made a shipment of cattle to this section as an experiment. He thinks he will find our market a profitable one. Conductor T吉尔 Calp of the Tustin train and Agent T.L.Wilson of Tustin were in town yesterday afternoon, shaking hands with friends. Mr.Wilsen opened the station at Tustin, and Jim ran the first trail over the hills to that flourishing burg. Jim's friends will be glad to know that he has recovered his voice, and now sings better than ever. George E.Daggott of Stamford, Conn., Master of Roadway of the New York division of the N.Y.N.H.H.R.R., was in town during the week, the guest of Mr.Ryan. Mr.Daggott is favorably impressed with our foreslass orange belt, and it would not surprise us much to number him among our permanent residents one of these days. J.E.Bleekman of the Santa Fe, well known hereabout, has gone on a trip East, and they say that when he returns he will bring a better-half with him. Bleekman is the best looking railroad man in Southern California, with the single possible exception of Conductor Heart!, and his contemplated marriage will cause jealousy in more than one instance in this glorious climate of California—so they say. Billy Carhale drove John Brink home Saturday night after the athletic exhibition. They reached Los Angeles at 4 o'clock Sunday morning, and when Billy reached home he found his mother dangerously ill. His folks bed tried to telegraph him during the night, but failed, and his appearance at home was in the nature of a great We are always glad to have them with us, even if they tug on the anchor chain with big Kemp against us. Cap, and the boys are always welcome here. Abraham Geier, who shot Roman Wisser at Fullerton some weeks ago while being ejected from the latter's saloon, has been found guilty of an assault with a deadly weapon and been sentenced to a year's imprisonment at Folsom. Geier stated on the witness stand that he only shot to "scare" Wisser. He will have twelve months in which to think over his mistake. Wisser is about well again. A large crowd pionicked at the Landing last Sunday, but their pleasure was marred by the doings of a drunken mob which came over from Santa Ana. They had several kegs of beer on tap in their wagon and proceeded to make Rome howl. Some of the gang were looking for blood and it is reported that there were several knockouts. A repetition of the offense will cause the youths' arrest. Louis Bolz is using every effort to have the Landing conducted in an orderly manner, and the youngsters from across the river had better take warning. The Farmera' Alliance picnic at Garden Grove last Saturday was a very enjoyable as well as instructive affair. A large attendance of farmers from the surrounding countryside was present, and speeses were made by President Cannon, Col. Messmore, Gen. Pierce and others. At noon all sat down to one of the finest lancehoes ever seen or heard tell of, and good cheer reigned supreme. Late in the afternoon the picnickers dispersed to their homes, well satisfied with their day's outing. Master Frank Scott, son of W.W. Scott, who lives cast of town, narrowly escaped being killed by a horse last Saturday. He was attempting to get on the animal to take a ride when he was thrown down and kicked on the leg. Before he could regain his feet the horse kicked him again just above the right temple, cutting the scalp for several inches. The little fellow was alone at the time and it was several hours before assistance arrived. The wound was dressed and the boy is getting along as well as could be expected under the circumstances. John Hartung has a half-dozen two-year-old grafted walnut trees on his home place which he imported from Bordeaux, France, at an outlay of $3 apiece, and which are already bearing fruit. One of the trees is putting forth a curious bit of growth in the shape of a tiny elater of five nuts, a sight uncommonly rare even in the orchards of this prolific section. John also has a grapevine several years old in his garden. The Board of Directors of the water company hold a special meeting last Thursday afternoon for the purpose of investigating charges preferred by Director Strain against Zanjero Bird for irregularities in the distribution of water, and against parties at Placentia for taking water for which they had not paid. The fact was developed that Mr. Wagner had soon water running to waste in the sandwash and had asked Zanjero Bird's permission to turn it into his barley field. This permission was granted, and Mr. Wagner turned the stream upon his barley. After a lengthy discussion of this and other matters the question was referred to a committee consisting of Directors Rust, Spencer and Zeyn for investigation. The board will meet again next Saturday, when the committee will report, and when it is reported there will be more "fun" in the way of charges for lifting gates, tampering with ditches, etc. This continual wrangling in the board is calculated to distress the people with that tired feeling that sometimes comes in the morning. Less bickering and more earnest work is what the stockholders want. Farewell Party. A farewell party was given at the Hotel del Campo last Thursday evening in honor of Marlina and Ida Pamperl, who left with their family on Menday for a visit to their old home in Austria. Many of their young friends were present to wish them a pleasant trip and safe return. The evening was given up to dancing, and at midnight refreshments were served. The occasion was one long to be remembered by the young folks, and when the time for parting came the party broke up with many good-byes and the hope that the young voyagers together with their family might have fair winds and favorable weather on their long journey. Among those present were Marlina Pamperl, Ida Pamperl, Hilda Pamperl, Henrietta Gosch, Helena Gosch, Fritzie Heimann, Bessie Bates, Alice Bates, Bosae James, Blauche Mitchell, Jessie Melrose, Winnie Melrose, Stella Lewis, Eva Littlefield, Poldie Heimann, Cora Lewis, Cora Gosch, Mrs. Pamperl, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Heimann, Mrs. Scott; G.
