LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK Sad Case of Accidental Shooting at Placentia. Henry Hetebrink's Eleven-Year-Old Son Albert Accidentally Shot and Killed by Joe Wagner - The Coroner's Inquest - Other Happenings Meeting of the Water Company The City Fathers - Escape of Santa Fe Hill - Social and Personal Notes While out shooting on Monday afternoon above the Klokke place at Placentia Albert Hetebrink, the eleven-year-old son of Henry Hetebrink, was shot and mortally wounded by Joe Wagner, aged ten years, son of the late Charles Wagner, who lives with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Wagner of Placentia. The boys had been out shooting hawks after school, when a flock of larks flew overhead and settled in a meadow near by. One of them lit upon the fence and the boys crept up to shoot it. While moving along in stooping posture the rule, a 32-calibre, single shot, was discharged, the ball entering the unfortunate lad's body at the lower base of the right back, passing to the right of the sacrum, crossing to the opposite side of the pelvis, and penetrating the lower intestines, deflecting thenceinto the abdominal cavity. He was taken home and Drs. Clark and Ballard summoned. They found him in a state of collapse, and though everything was done to alleviate his sufferings, he died on Tuesday evening at about 5 o'clock. An inquest was held on the body yesterday. The jury was composed of Coroner By, E.R. Amorige, W.S. Hale, Mr. Grogan, Andrew Roerdon, Max Nobelung, James Baxter, Oliver Schumacher and Henry Kuchel. Joe Wagner was the first witness. He is an unusually bright little fellow, and gave his testimony in a straight-forward and positive manner. He had gone to school on Monday with Albert, and came home shortly after 4 o'clock. Albert asked his mother if he could take the rifle with him to shoot hawks in the pasture where the cows were. His mother gave him permission, and the boys set out to bring in the cows. They shot at a dove in a tree, and along the fence saw a lot of little hawks fighting a big one. Twelve water books and a copy of the rules for each irrigator. Superintendent Sheppard read his regular monthly report. Mr. Amerige reported that he had interviewed Col. Northam about right of way for ditches across his property. Messrs. Amerige and Bottsford were appointed as committee to further interview the Colonel. Mr. Tuffree reported that Mr. Bailey of the Olinda ranch demanded a written request as to the nature of the changes in the ditches on his property. The engineer was instructed to prepare a sketel of the changes contemplated, the Secretary to submit the same for Mr. Bailey's consideration. The bill of H.A.McWilliams for $14.50 was ordered paid. The President and Secretary were authorized to draw warrants for all persons calling for their money. R.F. Porter addressed the board in reference to changes in the ditch below sections 19 and 20. The board decided, should the change be made, to construct the necessary gates and drops in the same. Mr. Bottsford moved the following resolution, seconded by Mr. Amerige: WHEREAS, The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company did herefore enter into a written agreement with the Anaheim Irrigation District, whereby they agreed to convey all the water rights and property of the company to the district for the amount $184,000. WHEREAS, one of the conditions of said agreement was that said district should expend $800,000 in developing water and cementing ditches before acquiring the property of this company; the intention of said condition being to give to the stockholders of this company a reasonable assurance that their eyes and trees would not suffer from the lack of water received for their farm from the distribution of present water supply over a larger area than is at present irrigated; and WHEREAS, The said district has failed to comply with the terms and conditions of said agreement in all respects within the time stated in said agreement, and said agreement being therefore null and void. WHEREAS, The said district still desires to acquire the property and water rights of this company; and WHEREAS It would be glaringly unjust to the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company to sell their property at less than its fair value, or to sell it at any price unless some assurance is given that they will receive such amounts of water as they have received that to their trees and crops, on which they depend for their childhood, do not suffer from lack of water; therefore, Resolved, by the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company, that no proposition for the purchase of the water rights and property of the company will be entertained by them, unless it is accompanied by a guarantee that at least $800,000 shall be expended in compiling the company's ditches, building reservoirs, or in some other purpose; caly development water before this company conveys its water rights or property; and that said water rights and property shall not be sold for less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Mr. Kellogg moved to lay the resolution on the table, seconded by Mr. Zeyn. Carried. Ayes—Kellogg, McFadden, Zeyn and Rust. Noes—Tuffree, Bottsford and Amerige. The action of the President and Secretary in borrowing money was approved. They were authorized to borrow as much more as quest was held on the body yesterday. The jury was composed of Coroner Ey, E. R. Amorige, W. S. Hale, Mr. Grogan, Andrew Roerode, Max Nobelung, James Baxter, Oliver Schumacher and Henry Kuchel. Joe Wagner was the first witness. He is an unusually bright little fellow, and gave his testimony in a straight-forward and positive manner. He had gone to school on Monday with Albert, and came home shortly after 4 o'clock. Albert asked his mother if he could take the rifle with him to shoot hawks in the pasture where the cows were. His mother gave him permission, and the boys set out to bring in the cows. They shot at a dove in a tree, and along the fence saw a lot of little hawks fighting a big one. Albert shot at the big one three times and killed it. Albert carried the gun and Joe the ramrod and a basket. Further along near the gun trees a big hawk flew out and the boys laid down to let it light near them. He came down and lit near who the other hawk was; the boys got up and followed after him, and Albert shot at him once. He flow away; they watched him, and he flow off; the boys followed no further. Then they saw a squirrel, and sneaked up on him, but he went down his hole. The boys then went on the other side of the hill to hunt for squirrels. At this point Albert gave Joe the rife, and the boys went down to untie the cows. They had them untidied and were walking home, when a flock of larks flew overhead; some flow in the barley, and one hit on the fence. Albert walked ahead, a few feet in front of Joe, and the latter told him to keep back, but he paid no attention to him. They were stooping down. Suddenly Joe stepped in a furrow, made by plowing, and the rille trigger caught against his suspender at his right side. He was carrying the rille horizontally in his right hand. He felt his suspender pull at his shoulder, and the rille was discharged. Albert was three or four feet ahead of him. He cried out: "You shot me!" Abert walked off pretty fast toward the road, near where Mr. Woodward and his son Luke were picking cabbage. Joe walked up alongside of him. The man told him to lay down. Joe set the rille against the fence, and seeing the cows going in the barley, he went and drove them out and soon went home. Mr. Woodward unhitched the horses from his big cabbage wagon and put them in a light express, and took Albert home. Joe went home and told his mother he had shot Albert. He hitched up the horse, and Mrs. Wagner drove over to Mr. Hetebrink's. In answer to questions by the jurymen, witness said he could shoot pretty well; he had been out with Albert before, when they had a 22-calibre along. This was the first time they ever were out with a 32. Albert's mother gave him two bits for every hawk he killed. He stayed a little while with Albert after he was shot, but Albert did not say anything. Albert loaded the rille after he had fired at the haawk, but witness could not say whether it was cocked or not at the time of the accident. The small dent in the cartridge leads to the belief that the gun was uncoked. Dra. Bullard and Clark also gave testimony before the jury. They had been called to see the wounded lad early Monday evening and found him suffering from shock and mortally wounded. They examined him under chloroform, and found that the bullet had torn through the muscles to the right of the sacrum, penetrating the lower intestines, and crossing to the opposite side of the pelvis. The autopsy developed that the bullet had deflected in an unknown direction into the abdominal cavity, which when opened was found full of blood. A portion Resolved, By the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company, that no proposition for the purchase of the water rights and property of the company will be entertained by them, unless it is accompanied by a guarantee that at least $100,000 shall be expended in凑够公司的 ditches, building reservoirs, or in some other practical way developing water before this company can provide water property, and that said water rights and property shall not be sold for less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Mr. Kellogg moved to lay the resolution on the table, seconded by Mr. Zoyn. Carried. Ayes—Kellogg, McFadden, Zeyn and Rust. Noes—Tuffree, Bottsford and Amerige. The action of the President and Secretary in borrowing money was approved. They were authorized to borrow as much move as was necessary to meet the demands on the company. Adjourned. SANTA FE HILL HE CONTRACTS A JAG, SHOOTS OUT A STREET LAMP, IS ARRESTED, GIVES LEG BAIL AND JUMPS THE TOWN. Young Santa Fe Hill, who lately came out of the wilds of Garvanza, where the luckless Hogaboom flourished and practiced his mesmeric arts, is no more. He has vamoosed the ranch, and the haunts that knew him once will resound with the bilarity of his presence no more forever. He "jumped the town" late Thursday night or early the next morning. He had been out on Wednesday night, celebrating the advent of the Chinese New Year. He had with him his plans and specifications for a jag, which he found no difficulty in contracting. He became hilarious. While meandering in the neighborhood of Santa Fe depot, and acting under a sudden rush of beer to the region of the stomach—meanwhile enlivening the scene with choice collections of operatic verse, unlunged jagwise—he was taken with an impulse, sadden, irresistible, uncontrollable. His astral body forsook him, and he stood transformed into a sharp shooter at aangerfest. Santa Fe Hill drew forth his trust revolver and shot out the unoffending street lamp, that was wont to flicker its faint rays as a guiding beacon to belated travelers. Count O'Kralke took an especial pride in this lamp, and regarded it as the best in his electric armament. Santa Fe returned to town.' In the neighborhood of Man Wo's pistol popped responsive to the exploding cracker. The Celestial New Year was just making its appearance, and Santa Fe was happy. He was having a bit of a time, when suddenly Night-watch Adams, who was subbing for Colonel Robinson, hove in sight and placed him under arrest. Santa Fe promised to appear before 'Squire Pierce in the morning and answer to several charges of disturbing the peace, malicious mischief, carrying a concealed weapon, disobeying the curf ordinance, etc. He failed to appear, and now the officers are looking for him. He was heard of in Los Angeles on Saturday, but is at present probably hiding in the fastnesses of the Garvanza hills. Santa Fe has a wholesome dread of Recorder Pierce, having made the acquaintance of that august gentleman a few days ago. Santa Fe had unsheathed his trusty snickarone one evening and threatened to disembowel the portly form of Bob Hussain. To this Bob quite naturally objected, and swearing out a warrant caused his arrest. The Judge gave him the benefit of a fine of $6 45, of the circulating medium of the realm, and Santa Fe feared. Resolved, By the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company, that no proposition for the purchase of the water rights and property of the company will be entertained by them, unless it is accompanied by a guarantee that at least $100,000 shall be expended in凑够 its ditches, building reservoirs, or in some other practical way developing water before this company can provide water property, and that said water rights and property shall not be sold for less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

They examined him under chloroform, and found that the bullet had torn through the muscles to the right of the sacrum, penetrating the lower intestines, and crossing to the opposite side of the pelvis. The autopsy developed that the bullet had deflected in an unknown direction into the abdominal cavity, which when opened was found full of blood. A portion of the small intestines contained two long jagged wounds, about three inches apart, where the bullet passed in and out. The wounds would have caused death without hemorrhage. The jury found that death was caused accidentally, and exonerated Joe from all culpability. The death of Albert Hetebrink removes one of the most promising lads in all his neighborhood. He was universally esteemed by all for his many rare qualities of mind and heart, and his death is a severe blow to all who knew him. Especially to his family does his death come as an irreperable loss. They have the sincere condolence of all in their great bereavement. The sad accident has cast a gloom over the neighborhood. Especially the families of both boys feel keenly the pangs that the occurrence has brought them, and are sympathetic with by the entire community. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, the remains being followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. WATER COMPANY. MR. BOTTSFORD'S RESOLUTION ABOUT THE TRANSFER OF PROPERTY TO THE DISTRICT LAID ON THE TABLE. The Board of Directors of the water company met on Saturday, Mr. McFadden in the chair and the full board present. The first business transaction was the sale of delinquent stock. Only one share was sold, that of E. J. Swan, it being purchased by E. R. Amerige for $10, the balance remaining over the amount of delinquency to be placed to Mr. Swan's credit. Reports were received from the committee on duties of Superintendent and zanjeros, on change in rules in the delivery of surplus water, and on schedule of water rates. The reports were adopted. The Secretary was instructed to prepare Young Folks' Social Club. A very enjoyable party was given by the Young Folks' Social Club at the Del Campo last Saturday evening. It is the intention to give a party every two weeks, and invitations will be given only to members of the club and their friends. Those present were Miss Fannie Weisel, Miss Cora Scott, Misses Jessie and Winifred Melrose, Stella Scott, Emma Heimann, Fritzie Frieze, Edythe Fay, Addie Spoerl, Flora Davis, Stella Lewis, Laura Roller; Adair Scott, Peter Weisel, Fred Lewis, Adolph Luedke, Guess Stradhoff, Will Frieze, Horr James, Ed Boege, Mr. Capitain, Chas. Fay, Harry Davis. We acknowledge the receipt of complimentary passes to Bill Nye's lecture at Santa Ana next Tuesday evening. Bill is the leading American humorist. As a humorous writer his wide reputation has been maintained for many years, not only by the apparently inexhaustible supply of sketches that have kept his name before the public, but by the originality of his work, his quaint conceits and unexpected turns of expression. And there is probably no one who could surpass Nye himself in preserving in their recital the humor of these sketches. His appearance and demeanor are most helpful in conveying the effect produced by a man of melancholy mien, who in the gravest manner makes side-splitting remarks, and the few tortures he permits himself are innitable. Bill will undoubtedly have a crowded house. Visiting and welding cards engraved. Fine stationery. Kan-Koo, 110 S. Spring, L.A. Flying Dutchman Jr. Sulky Plows at Isaac Lyons store.

Mr. Gilman informs us that he has not sold his orange crop for $9,000, as reported last week. He is confident that the crop will bring more than that figure. The saloon in the Nicholas block at Fullerton was broken into one night last week and robbed of $150 worth of liquors and cigars. As yet no arrests have been made. W. S.

The weather is delightful, and no people under the sun have more cause for rejoicing than the people whose happy lot is cast in this supremely favored section. Billy Berdrow is entitled to the belt for bringing in the largest four-horse load of oranges this season. One day last week he hauled in 114 boxes of the fruit from the Tombes orchard to the Southern Pacific depot. The weight was sixty-eight hundred, and Billy says he will overtop that before the season is over. A very pleasant surprise party was tendered Miss Rose Robinson at her home Monday evening, the occasion being the anniversary of her birthday. The evening was passed most enjoyably in social converse and games, and later a bountiful supply of refreshments were discussed with ample justice to them. At a late hour the party dispersed, wishing their amiable hostess many happy returns of the day. The eminent comedian, Mr. John Dillon, and an excellent company of artists, are billed to appear at the Opera-house Tuesday evening. Feb. 28th, in a new comedy, entitled "A Model Husband." A list has been circulated and sufficient names have been secured to guarantee their coming here. Subscribers will have the first choice of seats. The seats will be placed on sale at Pellegrin's music store this morning. This will undoubtedly be one of the best attractions that has ever played in this city, and should be well patronized. The Georgia Minstrels played to a large audience at the Opera-house on Friday evening. The programme was above the average, the dancing notably so, but the singing, especially that of the quartet, was not such as to call forth terms of unqualified praise. Their attempt at Dixon's celebrated song, "Sleep, Baby, Sleep," was a revelation of wretchedness, but as the singers were suffering with colds their shortcomings were overlooked by the audience. But the show on the whole was above the average. Dr. D. J. Harris of Chicago, who negotiated the sale of the irrigation bonds, has been in town during the week gathering data and otherwise informing himself of the needs of the district. The Doctor is one of the leading bankers of Chicago, and during the past two years his average monthly purchases of Western and Pacific Coast securities have aggregated more than two hundred thousand dollars. In other words he has placed upwards of five million dollars of Eastern capital in the Western and Pacific Coast States during that time. He is as agreeable as he is business like, and durability in consultation with the Directors of W. S. Hoskins, representing the John Dillon company of comedians, which appear at the Opera-house next Tuesday evening, was in town yesterday and made a pleasant call at this office.

Vincent will move his saloon on the first from its present location to the Pamperl building on Los Angeles street. Mr. Schlange, the photographer, now occupying the building, will shortly take his departure for the East. Messrs. Porter and McWilliams left on Tuesday morning for Yuna, where they go to put up a cottage for Mr. Rimpau. They will be gone a month. I.V. Albertson will leave for the scene of their labors in a few days to begin painting the house. The citizens of Olive have held a meeting and decided to erect a schoolhouse. They will vote upon the question of issuing bonds for the same next Saturday, and there is every reason to believe that the bonds will carry. The Olive Milling Company will donate the district a fine school lot and also furnish water free for two years. The fight between the lumber and milling companies of Washington and Oregon is felt in the low prices of lumber prevailing throughout Southern California. In some classes of building materials the reduction amounts to as much as twenty-five per cent from the prices ruling six months ago. An exchange with a reminiscent turn mentions the organization of the original Georgia Minstrels fifty years ago. We remember the occurrence very well. Billy Kersanls was with them then, and he’s cracking the same jokes to this day. Mons. Imbert is preparing to build a large dwelling on his hanc in Fullerton. He has one of the best ranches in that section and the new residence will be a decided improvement to it. There is a deep and dark rumor to the effect that the Monsieur contemplates committing matrimony in the near future. Mrs. Helen Bullock of Elmyra, New York, will visit Anaheim next Sunday and deliver her lecture on “The Open Gate,” at the Presbyterian Church at 7:45 p.m. The Christian Endeavor Society will meet promptly at 6:45 p.m. Mrs. Bullock is a lecturer of national reputation and all who attend her lecture will be well paid for their attendance. An unfounded rumor prevailed at River-side on Monday to the effect that a run was in progress at the Riverside bank. The rumor was altogether without foundation. A few small depositors drew out, but the deposits during the day were largely in excess of the withdrawals. There was some little excitement, which specially subsided, and the business community resumed its accustomed tranquility. While Marshal Steadman was whistling “Annie Rooney” and gathering up some kindling wood to build a fire for the council meeting on Tuesday evening, he picked up a gopher maze that was lying dormant in the overlocked by the audience. But the show on the whole was above the average. Dr. D. J. Harris of Chicago, who negotiated the sale of the irrigation bonds, has been in town during the week gathering data and otherwise informing himself of the needs of the district.

In other words he has placed upwards of five million dollars of Eastern capital in the Western and Pacific Coast States during that time. He is as agreeable as he is business like, and during his visits here has made many warm friends on all sides. On the fourth page will be found the deeds of realty made by stockholders to the sugar refinery. The deeds number 126, and the amount of land conveyed to the corporation is in the aggregate about 2,100 acres. This shows how far the work of the organization of this great enterprise has got along. Within a few days the deeds to the remaining 900 acres necessary to start building operations will arrive from the headquarters of the Stearns Ranchos in San Francisco, and work on the refinery immediately begin. The books of the corporation are now closed, and no more stock will be issued. The annual meeting for the election of the new Board of Directors will be held at Kroeger’s Hall on Monday next at 10 o’clock A.M. A copy of the Vicksburg Citizen, dated July 2, 1863, printed on wall paper, and the last copy issued before the capitulation of that city, has been received at this office from relatives in Memphis, Tenn. At the bottom of the last column a note interpolated two days later by the Union forces, tells of the entry of General Grant and his troops into the city, and that the General ate his Fourth of July dinner there—as he had said he would do some time before. The paper is a great curiosity, and represents not only the deployable condition of affairs during the days of the siege, but is an accurate reflex of the warlike sentiments dominating people at that time. G.W. Burley, an indigent, living with his invalid wife near the Fifth-street bridge at Santa Ana, was in town on Monday inviting those interested in his case to visit him at his home and set at rest the current reports to the effect that the money given him by the county was ill-spent. He has been receiving $12 per month from the Supervisors, but recently the amount was lopped off, it being reported that he was able to work. Burley claims his allowance was cut off directly after he traded his last allowance out for groceries and things in Anaheim. He says his wife is incurably ill, and that he is unable to work. He presented his case to the Supervisors on Monday afternoon, when it was referred to Supervisor Hawkins with power to act. Manager Al Lindley, of the Los Angeles Base Ball Club, on Tuesday received a telegram from Capt. Glenalvin, at St. Louis, stating that he had signed Roach and George Nicol as pitchers for the coming season. Roach was last year considered one of the best pitchers in the league; and is a general favorite hereabouts. Nicol, who is also a “south-paw,” played last season with Rockford, being on the reserve list of the Chicagos, with whom he played previous season. He has a good record, and is one of the best players in the minor leagues. Rasty Wright has been signed by Manager Lindley, it is understood that he is one of our past clients. Col. F. H. Keith was over from Santa Ana last Friday and reports everything flourishing and business picking up at the courthouse. E.S.Wallace, rustling Santa Ana corepondent of the Los Angeles Times, was in this city yesterday, attending to business for that paper, and dropped in to see us. Mrs.[Sandilands], Miss Sandilands and Miss McNab, who recently arrived from London, are guests of Forbes Sandilands in his home in Placentia.

George Betts was in from his ranch yresterday afternoon. He is kept very busy nowadays taking care of his lemon juice which is one of the finest in Southern California. Senator White will shortly leave for Washington. He has received in the neighborhood $800 applications for office, and he last reports the applicants will continue forward at the rate of 200 a week. John Wood, aged 26 years, serving term in the county jail for vagrancy, entered at that institution on Monday night of heart disease. This is the first death that he has yet taken place at the jail. Mr.I.Metz, one of the Directors of this Perris Irrigation District, in San Diego county, accompanied by his son, were in town on Tuesday looking for nursery items if probable they will locate here. Mr.Mrs.Cchas Dutton of Pasadena visited here on Sunday, and were the guests of Mr. and Mrs.Collins. Mr.Dutton repensates Earl Fruit Company at Pasadena and reports the orange crop very good. R.C.Aarchibald was in from Buena Parra on Monday. He is preparing to put in patch of sugar beets, and is confident of his ability to raise them successfully and high sachearin qualities. W.G.Potter was in from Centralia on Monday. He informs us that work on this new creamery building will begin this week and that the machinery will be in place inside of a month, when butter making will begin. Messrs.W.A.Witte,P.C.Saalwaechter and Henry Oelkers,P.C.Saalwaechter and Henry Oelkers,P.C.Saalwaechter Association on Saturday and Sunday. They report having had a very pleasant time. The next yearly meeting of the association will be held in Analeim. John Brandenburg of Keokuk, Iowa, an old-time friend of Col.Robinson, is in town and will probably locate Mr.Brandenburg was one of the leading merchants of Keokuk and may go into business here. He has traveled extensively over Southern California and declares he has seen no place to compare with this valley. G.W.Rolfe of Long Beach was in town on Saturday and made a pleasant call at this office. Mr.Rolfe has 600 acres sown to barley on the Alamitos, and all it is looking very well since the rain. The tract is all new land, and has never been used for anything but pasture. An unfounded rumor prevailed at River-side on Monday to the effect that a run was in progress at the Riverside bank. The rumor was altogether without foundation. A few small depositors drew out, but the deposits during the day were largely in excess of the withdrawals. There was some little excitement, which specially subsided, and the business community resumed its accustomed tranquility. While Marshal Steadman was whistling "Annie Rooney" and gathering up some kindling wood to build a fire for the council meeting on Tuesday evening, he picked up a gopher snake that was lying dormant in the city's woodpile. Of course he dropped the varmint in a burry, and as soon as he recovered from his astonishment dispatched the forrocious reptile in short order. Note the changes in the advertisement of the Daylight Store. The landlord keeps on hand a full stock of the latest kinds of notions, cutlery, stationery, groceries, confectionery, cigars, and other goods usually found in establishments of like character.

At noon on Tuesday a Chinaman who drives a vegetable wagon from Santa Ana was brought to Reid's drugstore, with a very bad cut under the right eye, and bleeding profusely from numerous scalp wounds. He said he had been thrown from his wagon while making a short turn at Man We's corner and had sustained the injuries by falling against the sidewalk. It was rumored yesterday that there had been a fight in Chinatown over the lapse of the New Year, and that the Santa Ana heathen had been slashed by some of his Anabeim countrymen. Nothing definite could be learned of the fractures and everything seemed to be serene in Chinatown. The heathen's injuries were attended to and he went on his way rejoicing. This country never looked more beautiful than it does now. The hills in this immediate vicinity and the mountains in the distance form a picture as delightful to the eye as any landscape that was ever impressed upon the imagination of the painter. Everywhere nature is adorned in her richest garb. The season is one of unexamined possibilities to the farmer. The seeded grain fields are coming forth in all their glory of luxuriant growth, and the orchards are teeming with the bulging germs of promise or the golden spheres of mature fruition. There never was so wide an acreage of plowed and seeded ground in this Manager Al Lindley, of the Los Angeles Base Ball Club, on Tuesday received a telegram from Capt. Glenalvin, at St. Louis, stating that he had signed Roach and George Nicol as pitchers for the coming season. Roach was last year considered one of the best pitchers in the league; and is a general favorite hereabouts. Nicol, who also a "south-paw," played last season with Rockett, being on the reserve list of the Chicagoans, with whom he played the previous season. He has a good record, and is one of the best players in the minor leagues. Rasty Wright has been signed by Manager Lindley, and it is understood that he is correspondence with both Jimmy Stafford and Pop McAuley, both of whom may be again secured for the Los Angeles team. Lindley is getting together a winning team, and has the best wishes of all ball cranks in Anabeim for landing the penant in the Angelic city. Next Saturday evening at candle lighting the doors of the Opera-house will be thrown open to the patrons of the Young Men's Athletic Club of this city, the attraction being a go to a finish between Billy Kennedy of San Francisco and Prof. Griffin, the colored Hercules of Redlands. The contest will be under the auspices of the club, whose members will see to it that it is strictly on the level. It will be preceded by a four-round bout between George Betts, whose friends have persuaded him to abandon the ring, for this occasion only, and Billy Frazier, a clever boxer from Los Angeles. The bout will be for scientific points, and promises to be interesting from the start. It will be followed by six ratling rounds between Billy Schaunacher of Fullerton and Prof. Howard of San Francisco. The management are also arranging for a go between two light weights in town, and if satisfactory arrangements can be made, as now appears probable, the contest will be one worth going a long way to see. The event of the evening will be the contest between Kennedy and Griffin. Both men are in the best condition. Kennedy is training here, and Griffin at Redlands. The former takes long walks and runs daily, walking as far as Fullerton and running back. He also skips the rope, punches the bag and is getting himself in the best condition. Griffin is also training faithfully, and the go will undoubtedly be the most interesting ever seen in the county. Griffin is the man who defeated Billy Manning at Santa Ana some time ago, and has never been defeated. Kennedy has likewise never been defeated. The management assures its patrons that the best of order will be preserved, and that the entertainment will be high class throughout. John Brandenburg of Keokuk, Iowa, an old-time friend of Col. Robinson is in town and will probably locate Mr. Brandenburg was one of the leading merchants of Keokuk and may go into business here. He has traveled extensively over Southern California and declares he has seen no place to compare with this valley. G. W. Rolfe of Long Beach was in town on Saturday and made a pleasant call at this office. Mr. Rolfe has 600 acres sown to barley on the Alamitos, and all of it is looking very well since the rain. The tract is all new land, and has never been used for anything but pasture. There is a great transformation scene going on over this entire section, and Mr. Rolfe is doing his part in making the change. N. Hart entertained a party of friends at a bus ride one day last week to points of interest in the valley. The party consisted of Mr. Mrs. Hart, Mr. and Mrs. Shwartz of Elkhourot, Wis., Mrs. Metz, Chas. Synold of Sheboygan, Wis., Mrs. Karpea and Mrs. Meyer of Los Angeles, and H.T. Witte of St. Louis. The party enjoyed the rivee much and are outspoken in praise of the beauties of the valley. Mr. and Mrs. Cayce and family, whom our readers will pleasurably remember, they having formerly resided here, returned Sunday from Mississippi where they have lived since leaving Anabeim four years ago. Mr.Cayce has accepted a position at Cahen's grocery store, and informs us he is glad to get back to Anabeim, as is Mrs. Cayce also. Mr.Vinson, Mrs.Cayce's father, accompanied by his family, came with as far as Los Angeles, and will probably be in Anabeim shortly. The party came by way of New Orleans and the Southern route and were five days on the trip. They have taken the Crowther cottage on Los Angeles street. We are glad to extend them a welcome back to Anabeim. Frank Schaumburger, who has occupied a position at Cahen's grocery for a long time past, has severed his connection with that establishment and took his departure yesterday for Riverside, where he will in future reside. Frank finds that work indoors is not conducive to his health, and his physician advises outdoor labor. He will probably get a position in one of the Riverside lumber yards, having an especial aptitude in that line of business. Frank is one of our best young men, as honorable as he is well liked by all. He has lived here for nearly twenty years and numbers his friends on all sides. We are sorry to chronicle his departure, and be peeked for him a cordial reception by the good people of Riverside. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ISAAC LYONS, ... DEALER IN... Groceries, -:- Provisions!
