THURSDAY...AUGUST 25, 1892.
The Board of Directors of the water company have voted to annul the contract entered into with the irrigation district last year providing for the transfer of the old company's property to the new. The terms of the transfer are that the district shall acquire the works of the old company, paying therefor the price of $150,000 in cash or its equivalent in bonds, and all work done by the company during the interim to be added to the purchase price. The district binds itself to begin the work of improvement of the water facilities within one year after the signing of the contract, which was signed May 23d, 1891, and to expend within two years from that date the sum of $100,000 in the work of necessary district development.
The flying of the track on the part of the water Directors at this late day is inconceivable when reference is had to the best interests of the community. However, as it takes two to make a contract, and two to break one, and as the district has been working under the terms of the contract for upwards of a year, they will ignore the action of the water board and go on quietly about their business. The action of the board amounts to but very little in the premises, but we are surprised that they should attempt to set aside a contract, entered into in good faith, without according the other side a hearing. The action of the board amounts to less than nothing.
The lynching of Torres is the logical outgrowth of our present lax judicial system. One has but to refer to the Sydney Bells, the McNultya, the Bruggys and the scores of the rest of them whose trials have dragged themselves disgrafully along to the final defeat of justice and the practical abandonment of the case, to find the reason for the recent lynchings in this State. Upwards of a hundred murders in this State last year, and only two legal executions, is the disgraceful record. True, McNultya is to hang tomorrow, but he is without money, and even with this disadvantage against him it has the Harbor Commissioners for wharfage, dockage, tolls, cranage and rents. The people should procure and study this act carefully, so that they may be enabled to vote intelligently upon it.

ECHOES FROM OLD OCEAN'S ROAR—GOSSIP NOTES AND PERSONALS FROM THOSE WHO ARE IN THE SWIM.
ANAHEIM LANDING, August 24, 1892.
Everybody who could get away went down to the Landing Sunday and as usual the day by the sea was a pleasant one. The camping season is still at the height of its popularity, and the camp grows daily more attractive.
There is a young lady in camp who is just as mad as she can be. She, together with her bean, drove over to Long Beach to see the soldier boys one day last week, and it so happened that she was left alone temporarily in the very line of march of the boys, who were on parade. As they passed, each of them tipped his "dicer," which naturally caused the young lady to blush. But the worst of it all was when a little red-headed guardman in the roar popped out of the ranks and took a snap-shot kodak likeness of her just as she was looking her maddest. Of course she is indignant and will never go to Long Beach again.
Mrs. Rimpan entertained her friends at a "light supper" in the warehouse Monday evening. When the guests arrived they found on each plate a candle brightly burning. This was the light supper, and some of the hungry guests were sorely disappointed. Later coffee was served, and all went merry as a married belle.
Miss Bessie James is here, the guest of the Misses Tuffree.
Many regrets were felt Sunday evening when the time came for the leave-taking of Miss Lillian Robinson, who left for her home to remain. She has been a great favorite here this summer and her absence will be keenly felt by all.
It is said without contradiction that Miss Louise Borlin is one of the most charming and attractive young ladies at the beach.
Wrestler Bass of Norwalk was down Sunday and jumped into the bay—and out again.
E. R. Amorige, who has announced himself as a candidate for Supervisor from this district, continues to have a good time here and is letting politics take care of itself for the present.
George Amorige's mustache is a taking feature with the ladies.
Miss Minnie Spencer and Miss Agnes Sprague, two of Anaheim's charming society belles, enjoyed a day by the seaside Sunday.
Judge French came down Sunday to hear

The lynching of Torres is the logical outgrowth of our present lax judicial system. One has but to refer to the Sydney Belle, the McNulty, the Bruggys and the scores of the rest of them, whose trials have dragged themselves disgracefully along to the final defeat of justice and the practical abandonment of the case, to find the reason for the recent lynchings in this State. Upwards of a hundred murders in this State last year, and only two legal executions, is the disgraceful record. True, McNulty is to hang tomorrow, but he is without money, and even with this disadvantage against him it has taken five long years to get him to the foot of the gallows. Sydney Bell, convicted of atrocious a murder as ever was committed by a midnight assassin, is granted a new trial, years after the commission of his diabolical crime, upon the filmiest of technicalities, and now there is no possible probability of his final conviction. In a short time he will probably go forth the embodiment of another of the flagrant miscarriages of justice that have disgraced the annals of the State. It has come of late to be almost an impossibility to hang a murderer here, and we have on the average a couple of murders a week.
It is doubtful whether Torres would have furnished an exception to this rule; indeed, the evident intention of his friends to screen him as far as possible served to fire the impulses of his victim's friends. A good man had been ruthlessly murdered, and his friends constituted themselves judge, jury and executioner. All law-abiding people must deprecate mob violence, but there will be no abatement of it until the laws are so changed as to rest upon the basic principle, an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
W. E. COLLINS, the efficient Quarantine Guardian of San Bernardino county, has been notified by the State Board of Horticulture that his appointment has been revoked. This is how the State Board retaliates upon a gentleman who was possessed of the temerity to criticise the actions of Mr. Lelong, the Secretary of the board. It will be remembered that at the meeting of the horticulturists at Santa Ana some weeks ago Mr. Collins introduced a set of resolutions sharply deprecating Mr. Lelong's evident hostility to Prof. Coquillette, and warmly endorsing the latter gentleman's treatment of the new red scale parasites. At that meeting Mr. Lelong was handled "without gloves" by several gentlemen present. Mr. Collins' resolutions were endorsed unanimously by every one present and adopted without a dissenting vote. Shortly after the meeting Mr. Lelong wrote the San Bernardino Supervisor to the effect that Mr. Collins' appointment had been revoked by order of the State Board. This action is a gratuitous insult to the horticulturists in session at that meeting, and is looked upon with great dissatisfaction throughout Southern California. Mr. Collins, who is personally a very intelligent and observant gentleman,

The Republican Senatorial Convention of this district has been called to meet at South Riverside at 10 o'clock on September 19th. The candidates for the nomination thus far mentioned are Supervisor Armor and F. G. Ryan of this county, and Skip Craig, the red-headed rustler of Redlands. It is impossible to say which of this trio of distinguished gentlemen will knock the persimmon.
Among the political announcements this week is that of E. R. Amerige of Fullerton, who will be a candidate for Supervisor from this district, subject to the action of the Republican County Convention. Ed is a rustler, and has good get-there qualities, and if elected to the office will undoubtedly make an excellent official.
An act known as the San Francisco Depot Act was passed by the last Legislature, and will be submitted to the people at the approaching election for rejection or approval. It provides for the issuance of not to exceed $600,000 State 4 per cent bonds to build a general terry and passenger depot in the city of San Francisco at or near the foot of Market street. It provides that the people at the regular election in November shall vote for or against the act, and if a majority of votes are in favor of it, the act takes effect and the bonds will be prepared and sold at auction. Except the cost of advertising the act prior to election, the payment of the bonds and all expenses connected with the act is to be made from money collected by a flutter among the feminine hearts.

HANGING OF TORRES.
THE MURDERER TAKEN FROM JAIL BY A MOB AND HANGED TO A TELEPHONE POLE.
Shortly after 1 o'clock last Saturday morning a masked mob, estimated to number as low as twelve persons and as high as thirty-five, broke into the County Jail at Santa Ana and took Francisco Torres, the murderer of Capt. Wm. McKelvey, and hanged him to the telephone pole at the corner of Fourth and Sycamore streets, across the way from the Brunswick Hotel. The work was done with such dispatch and so quietly that people in the hotel, not fifty feet away, were undisturbed in their slumbers. A Mexican who runs an all-night restaurant in a hole in the wall on Fourth street not half a block away was about his place and on the sidewalk at the time, but he knew nothing of the lynching until told an hour or two after that the dead body of a man dangled from a rope tied to the telephone pole at the corner. He went over and saw that the dead man was Torres.
Sheriff Lacy had been at the jail with Deputy Buckley as late as 9:30 o'clock the evening before. At that hour both went home, leaving the jail in charge of Robert Cogburn, who had recently been appointed to keep guard during the night. Sheriff Lacy went home and retired for the night. He was awakened shortly before 2 o'clock by Cogburn, who ran down and told him that Torres had been taken from the jail by a mob and lynched.
After the Sheriff had left the jail in charge of Cogburn matters passed quietly, and no thought was taken of the possibility that a mob would appear and lynch the prisoner. Shortly before midnight Nightwatchman Morgan and Nigg went to the jail to chat with Cogburn. They remained a short time, and then proceeded on their boat toward the eastern part of the city. They had been gone but a few minutes when Cogburn heard a crowd assembling outside, directly after which came the demand, "Open the door!"
The rest is beat told in Cogburn's testimony as given at the Coroner's inquest Saturday morning. He testified: "My name is Robert Cogburn. I reside at Santa Ana and was employed as a nightwatchman at the County Jail. I was fulfilling my duty in that capacity last night. I sat on the steps until 9:30 o'clock Friday evening. Everything was quiet at that time. The Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff were with me and said they would go home. Then I walked up to Fourth street with them and then went back to jail and into the building, locking the door securely behind me. At 12 o'clock I ate my lunch and was sitting in the front room, when I heard a knock at the

The rest is best told in Cogburn's testimony as given at the Coroner's inquest Saturday morning. He testified: "My name is Robert Cogburn. I reside at Santa Ana and was employed as a nightwatchman at the County Jail. I was fulfilling my duty in that capacity last night. I sat on the steps until 9:30 o'clock Friday evening. Everything was quiet at that time. The Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff were with me and said they would go home. Then I walked up to Fourth street with them and then went back to jail and into the building, locking the door securely behind me. At 12 o'clock I ate my lunch and was sitting in the front room, when I heard a knock at the door. I knew the voices and know that they were those of Morgan and Nigg, the nightwatchmen. They talked a few minutes, and went away. I locked the door and sat down on the side of the bed for about 15 minutes. At 12:50 o'clock I heard a crowd coming to the door and some one called out for me to open it. I said, "No air." He said, "Will you open the door?" adding that if I did not they would break it in. I said, "You had better not," and then some one struck the door with a hammer, and the panel was broken in at the first blow. The first blow was followed by several more, and the door was finally broken in. The men came in as fast as they could. They all were masks. The door was broken. Two of the men caught me and shoved me back on the bed in my room and demanded the key. I gave it to them and they shut the door upon me, but they did not lock it. I heard some frightful yells in the inside room after they went in, but the men only remained in the jail two or three minutes. I have no idea how many men were in the room. They passed out and through the hall, all of them going out. I stood in the room for a minute or two, and then put my hand against the door, and shoving it back went into the jail. There were three prisoners in the jail besides Torres, and the inner door was open. When I came out there was a spring lying on the floor. I went to the door and called to the nightwatchmen. I heard some talking and noise on the corner of Sycamore and Fourth streets, and I started to go out in the street. I had not gone more than three or four steps when I met some six or eight men, who cried "Halt." They all had pistols, which they pointed at me. I stopped and went back into the jail, where I stayed for a few minutes and then came out again. There were some men on the platform in front of the mill across the street. I could not see how many there were because I could not see distinctly, but I could hear their voices. I decided not to go up to the corner of Fourth and Sycamore streets until I heard some of them. Shortly after I was just starting to go to Joe Nichols' (the Marahal) house when Morgan, the nightwatchman, came down and said there was a man hanging to the telephone pole up at the corner, and he went to notify the Marahal. I went to the jail at 1:30 A.M., and after picking up a sledgehammer that the mob had left I went to inform the Sheriff of what had happened."
Edmund Palderatz, who was in jail at the time, having been sent across the river from here for ten days for stealing wine from Mrs. Wilkins' wine shed, testified that he was an inmate of the jail at time the mob entered. His testimony was as follows: "The first I heard was when some one called for the jailer to open the door. Just then I heard the front door broken in. Seven or eight men came to the door and asked if I was the Mexican. They had shot-guns, and were masked. I told them I was a white man, and the next moment they had Torres out of his cell. They tied his legs

Edmund Palderatz, who was in jail, at the time, having been sent across the river from here for ten days for stealing wine from Mrs. Wilkins' wine shed, testified that he was an inmate of the jail at the time the mob entered. His testimony was as follows: "The first I heard when some one called for the jailer to open the door. Just then I heard the front door broken in. Seven or eight men came to the door and asked if I was the Mexican. They had shot-guns, and were masked. I told them I was a white man, and the next moment they had Torres out of his cell. They tied his legs and arms, and strangled him as they dragged him out. He yelled, but did not say a word that I understood. They did not speak to him. In a few minutes three men returned to the jail, with pistols in their hauds, and got a hat. They asked for the hat, and one of the inmates passed it through the grate of the door."
Nightwatchman Morgan testified that he was on duty as usual the night of the lynching; that he and Nigg had gone to the jail to see if everything was all right. Later he and Nigg went on their beat toward the eastern part of the city. He did not hear the noise made by the mob in breaking in the jail. At fifteen minutes to 1 o'clock he was returning on Fourth street, when he met Dr. Mills near the corner of Sycamore street. The Doctor had been out attending a patient. Morgan looked toward the telephone pole and saw a man suspended by a rope, his feet about two feet from the ground. He said, "There hangs a man in effigy." On closer inspection they found it was Torres, who was dead. Morgan then went and informed the Marshal. From the time he left the jail until they reached the corpse only twenty minutes had elapsed.
Sheriff Lacy, who was soon upon the scene, at once dispatched a buggy for Coroner Ey. The rig arrived in Anaheim about 3 o'clock, and at 4 o'clock the Coroner was at Santa Ana and cut down the corpse. An inquest was held Saturday morning, at which a verdict was rendered that Torres had been hanged by parties unknown.
On Torres' shirt front the mob had pinned the placard, "Change of Venue." The body was buried in the potters' field on Saturday afternoon, the remains being followed to the grave by a few of his countrymen.
