LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK A Big Suit Against the Irrigation District. The Bond Sale Asked to Be Declared Illegal, and a Perpetual Restraining Order Asked to Issue—Meeting of the City Fathers—Is There Any Water in the New City Well?—New River Explorers Return-Sale of the Del Campo Furniture—Other News—Social News and Personals. For some time past it has been known that a suit would be brought against the irrigation district to test the recent sale of $170,000 bonds to Chicago capitalists. The papers in the promised case were filed with the County Clerk on Tuesday. The suit is entitled W. F. Botsford et al against the Anaheim Irrigation District. The plantiffs allege that the bonds were irregularly sold, and if the same be issued they will constitute a lien and encumbrance, and will be made the basis of taxation upon the property of plaintiffs situated within the district. They therefore ask the Court to declare all the acts and proceedings of the defendants respecting the issuance and sale of the bonds, as set forth in the complaint, to be unauthorized, illegal, null and void, and that the agreement between the Board of Directors and defendants, N. W. Harris & Co., be annulled. They also ask that, pending this action, an order be issued restraining the district from issuing and delivering any bonds to the said N. W. Harris & Co. under the alleged contract set forth in the complaint, and that on the final hearing said order be made perpetual. The following well-known gentlemen are the plaintiffs in the suit: W. F. Botsford, Francis G. Ryan, J. K. Tuffree, George Roher, W. H. Blennerbassett, A. McDermont T., Anderson and William Crowther. The complaint alleges that the board did not proceed according to law in the matter of advertising for and opening of bids for the sale of the bonds, and that the bid of Mr. Myers, who offered to purchase the bonds for Harris, was not valid under the law, in that it was not an unconditional offer, and was coupled with numerous and unauthorized conditions, giving to the said Myers the right to dictate and control the expenditure of the proceeds of the bonds, and to dictate the action of the board after the total amount realized from the sale was $1,200. The furniture cost originally about $5,000. Suit was brought to satisfy a mortgage held by Christopher Gomber against the hotel amounting to $4,827. The first lot sold was a down-stairs bedroom set, chairs, bedstead, washstand, etc., which went to Ernest Stein for $27, and the next bedroom set went to P. Pauchon for $21. Thirty yards of carpet were knocked down to N. H. Mitchell for $5. Two tables in the reading room, fifteen chairs, office desk and lamp went to Mrs. Mitchell for $23. She also bought 91 yards of carpet for $31 50, another lot of 40 yards of carpet for $18 50, and sixteen blinds for $4; also six upholstered parlor chairs for $24; three pieces of parlor furniture, $21; 125 yards of parlor carpet, $52; one mattress, 2 shades, 1 bedstead, 1 table, 1 stand, 16 50; 92 yards carpet, $51; 3 pieces linoleum, $1 50; 7 yards carpet, $2 60; 1 bedroom set, $28; carpet and window shades, $3 50; 1 bedroom set, $40; carpet and 2 window shades, $10 50; 1 bedroom set, $20; carpet and shade, $4 50; fire extinguisher, complete, $7 25; 2 window shades and carpet for bed room, $10 50; 1 piece oil cloth, 25c; 4 cane-bottomed chairs, $5 25; fire extinguisher, complete, $6 50; chandelier, $6 50; same, $5; same, $5 75; 2 chairs, $3 25; 1 piece oil cloth, $4; same $2 25; piece linoleum, $4; 3 hanging lamps, $2 50; bootblack stand, $2 50; 2 rugs, $1 50; 2 rustic seats, $3 25; 6 office chairs, $7; 6 office chairs, $8 25; 2 rocking and 2 straight chairs, $4; 1 billiard table, $45; 2 card tables, $2 50; piano and stool, $50; 1 dozen dining room chairs, $12; same, $12; 3 tables and tablecloths, $10 75; besides other articles used in the hotel. John Everhart bought the bar stand and counter for $27, and a lot of cuspidors for $2 50, and Ben Dresser bought himself 1 bedadef for $4 50 and a piece of carpet for $3 50. Other sales were as follows: Six comforters, $5 75; 6 comforters, $4; 4 blankets,$4; 2 pairs double blankets,$3 25, all by W. H. Brooks; 2 rocking chairs, Jake Vetter,$1 75; 1 bedroom set, E. C.

Also that the bid does not bind Myers to accept the bonds of the district, and leaves the acceptance thereof entirely at his option, and that his bid was not a bid at all as contemplated by the law. The bid is claimed to be indefinite, unintelligible and not capable of enforcement, because it does not state what kind of interlocutory decree of court shall be obtained, nor what property shall be affected thereby, nor what kind of mortgage shall be executed to secure the bonds, nor what kind of evidence should be furnished of the legality of the issue of the bonds; and it is not stated in the bid or in the resolution accepting the same whether the said $170,000 are to be the entire first issue of the bonds of said district or whether the same are to be a portion of $200,000 of bonds to be issued and sold by the district. Plaintiffs therefore ask that all the acts of the board be declared unauthorized, illegal, null and void, and that the agreement between the board and Myers be annulled. Pending the action they ask that an order be issued restraining the board from issuing and delivering the bonds, and that on the final hearing the said order be made perpetual. Plaintiffs are represented by John D. Porto of Los Angeles. Sheriff Lacy was in town yesterday serving summons in the case on the Director of the district. At the irrigation office yesterday nothing could be learnt of the suit, and probably no action will be taken until a consultation with the attorneys of the district. A special meeting may then be called to act in the matter. The suit will mix things up, and have probably the effect of disrupting the prospective bond sale. CITY FATHERS IS THERE ANY WATER IN THE NEW CITY WELL?—TRUSTEE CONRAD HEARS THERE ISN'T. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session in the City Hall on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Witte, Pellegrin and Conrad. The Marshal reported collections for water and license amounting to $383 25. The Treasurer reported a balance in the treasury on May 8 of $1,197 21. The reports of the Clerk and Recorder for the previous month were received and filed. The reports were referred to the Finance Committee for examination and report at the next regular meeting. The Finance Committee examined last month's reports and found them correct; also that the old fire-bell tower had been sold to P. James for $2 50. Trustee Conrad stated that he heard there IN FROM THE DESERT THE PARTY OF NEW RIVER VOYAGERS RETURN HOME—A WEEK ON THE TRIP BACK. Messrs. S. Littlefield, Walker and Frank Littlefield returned from the desert last Saturday evening at half-past 9 o'clock, having been seven days on their way in. They were absent three months and five days. They left the well a week ago last Sunday morning, and made good time on their homeward journey. The well is down 351 feet, in sand, with indications good for water, which raises six feet above the level of the surface water. After piercing the clay stratum that underlies the sand it is expected that an artesian flow will be struck. There is pipe enough on the ground to go down 500 feet. This, together with the well tools, and some sacks of barley for the horse, were left on the ground until the resumption of work some time next Fall. The party broke camp on account of the scarcity of provisions, some of the subscribers to the expedition having failed to pungle up their remittance, and another expedition will be organized after the season of warm weather this summer. The party have stood the trip remarkably well. The camp was in sight of the hills where the Breedlove perished on the desert last summer. Notwithstanding that the road is rough, with precipitous hills to climb here and there, and danger attendant more or less everywhere, not to speak of the crop of rattlenakes on every side, which is large this year, the party return without broken bones or bites and in robust health. Mr. Littlefield has gained in weight, and had accumulated a wealth of board and flowing locks, which however have now been long since barbeded. After being beautified at the tonsorial artist's old gentleman was easily recognized as being himself again, but when the party reached town last Saturday evening it was different. The well is thought to be in the vicinity of the celebrated lost Pegleg mine, but the party have been unable to discover any trace of the lost mine. Tradition says that, many years ago, probably some time along in the 50's, Pegleg Smith, an old miner, trapper and scout was trampling along his way from Company G area reading room at an auxiliary room to The idea is a meet with the judge Town Lacy assignee of C.

The Marshal reported collections for water and license amounting to $383 25. The Treasurer reported a balance in the treasury on May 8 of $1,197 21. The reports of the Clerk and Recorder for the previous month were received and filed. The reports were referred to the Finance Committee for examination and report at the next regular meeting. The Finance Committee examined last month's reports and found them correct; also that the old fire-bell tower had been sold to P. James for $250. Trustee Conrad stated that he heard there was no water in the new well. It appears that old man Platt did not pierce the pipe properly. The pipe is No. 12 steel and it will now be a difficult matter to cut it in a clay strata. The Committee on Public Improvements was instructed to investigate the matter at once. The Ordinance Committee reported that the revised ordinances will shortly be ready for presentation to the board for approval. No remonstrance having been received against the granting of a saloon license to Mong. Pauchen, the same was accordingly granted. A communication was received from B. Dreyfus & Co. of San Francisco, stating that no right of way will be granted the city for road purposes through their property at the southern end of Palm street. Bills to the amount of $324 49 were audited and ordered paid. Poll Tax Collector Steadman hauled in a $2 garnaishee to insure the payment of Herr Neudecker's poll tax. Several bills, not having been audited, were laid over until the next regular meeting for passage. The matter of sprinkling the west end of Center street was discussed. The matter was left in the hands of the Committee on Public Improvements, who were instructed to report on the same at the next meeting. The request of Wm. Konig to have the city lots in Block N on Broadway thrown back into a acres property was not acted upon. Action will be taken on the same just as soon as Mr. Konig produces deeds to all the above lots. Adjourned. DEL CAMPO FURNITURE SHERIFF LACY SELLS OUT THE BIG HOTEL—LOW PRICES PREVAIL. The furniture in the Del Campo Hotel was sold at Sheriff's sale on Tuesday. The sale was conducted by Sheriff Lacy and Deputy Tedford and Auctioneer Walker. Prices were low, and many things went begging. Millinery Goods. Mrs. Vinson desires to announce that her new stock of Spring Millinery-Goods has arrived from the East, and will be on sale at her millinery store in the Metz building on Center street. Opening days, to-morrow (Friday) and Saturday. A cordial invitation is extended the ladies of Anaheim and vicinity to call and examine the stock. s20ml Gasoline stoves at $3 50 to $30 at M. J. Bundy's hardware store, Santa Ana. A large stock of the new process. While in Los Angeles, Mrs. Littlefield has gained in weight, and had accumulated a wealth of board and flowing locks, which however have now been long since barbeded. After being beautified at the tonsorial artist's old gentleman was easily recognized as being himself again, but when the party reached town last Saturday evening it was different. The well is thought to be in the vicinity of the celebrated lost Pegleg mine, but the party have been unable to discover any trace of the lost mine. Tradition says that, many years ago, probably some time along in the 50's, Pegleg Smith, an old miner, trapper and scout, was trampling alongside his way from Yuma to Los Angeles ever the old road across the desert. At one of his stopping places he came upon a gold mine of unexamined richness, free gold being abundant everywhere. He brought specimens into Los Angeles, but was taken sick and was sent to the hospital, where he unfolded the story of the wonderful mine to his physician, Pegleg died, and the doctor shortly after organized an expedition to discover the mine. Before a start could be made, however, he became ill and died, leaving the whereabouts of the mine a sealed mystery. Since then many expeditions have started out to search for the mine, but all of them have been unavailing. Perhaps when the boys go back in the Fall they will give more time to searching for the mine. Tradition also says that, many years ago, a party of French sailors deserted from a French man-of-war cruising in the Gulf of California. They made their way into the Coopah country in Lower California, where rich mines are said to exist. They found evidences of free gold and mines of rich mineral, but before they had made much headway in developing the mine were slain by the Indians. Old settlers declare that Lower California is rich in minerals, and as the Coopah Indiana are now civilized, the boys may go over the line and enter their country in the Fall. Mr. Littlefield has promised to give us another of his entertaining letters on the desert country, touching on the traditions that hedge around that interesting section.

The ninth annual meeting of the Orange County Sunday School Association will meet at Orange on Saturday, June 3d. Clay Kellogg contemplates leaving for the World's Fair about the 20th. He will be absent probably some six weeks or so. The case of Pierce vs. Culton, to recover money advanced on a real estate transaction, has been set for trial in the Superior Court on May 22d at 9:30 A.M. John Schuman finds business rushing. He is engaged in putting up a number of large header wagons for B. Mouliot, who will shortly begin heading his barley crop. The Board of Supervisors on Monday approved the liquor license bonds of the Commercial Hotel and Joseph Pouchon of the city, and of D. J. Yorba of Ortha. The Wehmeyer vineyard on Walnut street is one of the prettiest sights in this section. The vine are rich in luxuriant foliage, and remind one very much of the old days of vine growing. P. Pellegrin and Son yesterday received a collection of very pretty patented boutonnaires in rose and daisy designs, which are the neatest things in the line seen here for a long time. Sam Edwardson has found a sulphur spring on his ranch in Soquíl Canyon. At first the water oozed out of the side of the hill in a small stream, while it has grown now to be quite large. The water is highly charged with sulphur and promises to be of no little value to its owner. We are informed that the members of Company G are talking of establishing a free reading room and library at the Armory as an auxiliary to their military organization. The idea is a good one and will no doubt meet with the approval of the public. Judge Towner has appointed Sheriff Lacy assignee of the estate and effects of H.C. Gade, who has just passed through insolvency, with bonds fixed in the sum of $500. The creditors appearing in court at the time of the hearing of Gade's petition to be declared an insolvent, and the amounts claimed, were: Geo.C.Rording,$1,487 02, and T.J.F.Boege,$105 50. It is suggested that now would be a good percent premium. This being the association's fiscal year, a new series of stock (the fifth) was opened, and about two hundred shares were subscribed. Secretary Horse, who has been ill during the week, was granted further time to prepare his annual report of the business and earnings of the association. This report will probably be submitted at the next meeting of the board. The earnings the past year will probably reach 12 to 15 per cent. The school census of the county, with Centraña, Olive and Santiago districts to hear from, gives us a census population of 4,077. The three missing districts had last year 189 children, which makes the total this year 4,255. On the customary computation of five inhabitants for each census child, this gives Orange county a population of 21,275. Ten districts in the county show a decrease of 114 children from last year, and seventeen show an increase of 359, the net increase being 295. An honest farmer from the classic shades behind Olive Heights dropped into town a day or two age to see the sights, and during his rambles ran across a poker game in one of the down-town resorts. His engagement was a limited but spirited one, and it was not long before the local sports induced him to sink a roll of bills the size of a link of winer wurst. There was about a hundred dollars in the waid, and after having his pelt removed he made his escape out of town. The complaint in the case of Anaheim Union Water Company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company vs. the Jurupa Ditch Company, to restrain the alleged illegal diversion of water up the river, and which promises to be one of the biggest lawsuits ever brought into this county, is almost ready to be filed. There are 130 parties to the action, all of whom live along the river and have been diverting water to the north of us, and they have all been made parties to the suit. The court will adjudicate upon the rights of each and every one of them to use the water at present diverted from the river. Messrs. Chapman and Hendricks and A.H.Hutton of Los Angeles, Richard Melrose of this city, and E.K.Eckehof of Santa Ana are the attorneys for plaintiff. Manager Lindley of the Los Angeles Baseball Club has had his picture taken and the same appears in the columns of the San Francisco papers. An fortunate blemish in the zincograph, however, makes him appear like as if he were decorated on the farboard side of the face with a bunch lot of bushy whiskers. This is of course mistake, Mr.Lindley strongly resembling the Earl of Crawh'n his face being free from hirsute adornment. He is besides one of the brains ball magnates in the country, Mrs. Clark Minor is visiting with friends at Highland Park near San Gabriel. Chas.F.Munson and Henry Stuhr Angeles were in the city yesterday. Mrs. Heimann entertained a number her friends at an afternoon tea last Saturday. Herbert Morton, who has been absent the northern part of the State for some years past, has returned. Colonel Kieth was over from Santa on Tuesday taking in the sights and riding old acquaintances. The families of Messrs.James and Thie enjoyed a delightful picnic in the canny Sunday last. Mr.Blennerhasett was in from his at Placentia one day last week and most pleasant call at this office. H.A.McWilliams is in San Francisco attendance upon the meeting of the Co-Lodge I.O.O.F. Miss Emmie Heimann was dawn from Angeles on Sunday on a visit to friends relatives here. Mrs.Littlefield took her departure week for San Francisco to spend some visiting with relatives and friends. Prof.Grogan attended the quarterly meeting of the Orange County Teachers' Association at Santa Ana on Saturday. Mrs. Leavitt,the round-the-world misery, delivered an interesting and instructive lecture at the Presbyterian Church Sunday evening. Misses Bertha and Hattie Baker of S.Ana were members of the editorial paper that left San Francisco for the World's in a special car last Monday afternoon. They will be absent about two months. Fred Eichler was down from Los Angeles on Monday. Freel is now in but butchered business in the Angelic City, but cannot out of making a trip down to Anaheim once in a while. Dian Gardner of Orange was the successful contestant in the Examiner's competitive examinations for a free trip to the Worl Fair. His papers have been forwarded San Francisco. Conductor Woods has been filling Conductor Willett's place on the Southern Park for a week or so past. Mr.Woods is an commuting railroad official, and has reacted many warm friends among Company G are talking of establishing a free reading room and library at the Armory as an auxiliary to their military organization. The idea is a good one and will no doubt meet with the approval of the public. Judge Towner has appointed Sheriff Lacy assignes of the estate and effects of H. C. Gade, who has just passed through insolvency, with bonds fixed in the sum of $500. The creditors appearing in court at the time of the hearing of Gade's petition to be declared an insolvent, and the amounts claimed, were: Geo. C. Rording, $1,487 02, and T. J. F. Boege, $105 50. It is suggested now would be a good time for the Santa Fe company to begin set out a flower garden at their depot in this city, similar to those at Orange and Fullerton. The company has a lot of ground at the depot that may be put to good use in thus beautifying the surroundings, and they would probably be given assistance in the matter from some of the many flower gardens in this city. The case of the People vs. J. S. Parcells, an action to recover money obtained on a worthless check, is set for hearing before Judge Landell next Saturday. Parcells issued a check on a Los Angeles bank to J. W. Sprague of Fullerton for $11, and when Sprague called for the money he found none there. The action is punishable by imprisonment in State Prison for a year. Judgment in favor of the defendant was given in the Superior Court on Monday in the suit of the Anaheim Union Water Co. vs. Lynch. The plaintiff sought to establish adverse possession of a ditch through Mr. Lynch's land, but the court held that their possession had not been sufficiently hostile to defend to warrant a judgment in their favor. A. D. Porter fumigated Francis G. Ryan's orange grove some months ago, and the question of how much he should be paid therefor was submitted to a jury in Justice Pierce's court on Saturday, and their verdict gave Mr. Porter $200. He asked for $266 23 in his complaint, and the defendant offered to pay $166. We understand the case will be appealed by the defendant. Assessor Ross having discovered some $30,000 in notes against the Anaheim Water Company that had not been given in for assessment, City Assessor Nebulung will give them his attention. He will assess all portions of the same for the city and irrigation district. Assessor Russ's discovery will not the people four or five thousand dollars in taxes. More hay and barley will be harvested in this section this year than ever before. Down on the San Joaquin there are 25,000 acres in barley, which it is estimated will yield upwards of 450,000 sacks, over 400 carloads. Around Anaheim the yield will probably be in the neighborhood of 200,000 sacks. The yield of hay will also be enormous, miles upon miles of it now being harvested. While in Los Angeles the other day we had the pleasure of meeting Major A. J. Mason, the well known boniface, formerly of the Planters' Hotel of this city. The Major's many friends will be pleased to hear that he is doing a very good business at the Mt. Pleasant Hotel on Boyle Heights, where he is always very much pleased to see his face. Manager Lindley of the Los Angeles Baseball Club has had his picture taken and the same appears in the columnus of the San Francisco papers. An unfortunate blemish in the zincograph, however, makes him appear like as if he were decorated on the lardboard side of the face with a bunchy lot of bushy whiskers. This is of course a mistake, Mr. Lindley strongly resembling the Earl of Crawhen, his face being free from hurse admenment. He is besides one of the brainiest ball magnates in the country, and a baseball enthusiast as well, as witness the fact that he came down to play ball in Anaheim one time and walked back to Los Angeles that night in the rain. He also has a team of pennant winners, the boys having recovered their batting eyes and being as we write near the top note. May they take five falls from Finn this week, and may Lindley never have to walk in the rain again. A painful rumor has prevailed in Los Angeles during the week that a duel would be possible outcome of a dispute between those two well-known gentlemen, Col. J. D Lynch of the Herald and Col. R. J. Northam of the Steeras Ranchos Company. Both gentlemen had quarreled, and a resort to the code was given out as being only the method by which things could be righted. A meeting was arranged for at early dawn some days ago, and the seconds, bottle holders, physicians, and a select coterie of gentlemen on the inside assembled, but, strangest of all, the awarthy antagonists failed to appear. An adjournment was taken to another day, and several cases of champagne summarily made away with. Both principals are known to be gentlemen of the old school of fighters, Col. Lynch having taken several shots at a burly antagonist in the Anglicity City some years ago, and Col. Northham having dispersed a whole acre lot full of fighting squatters down in "the peat." The friends of both gentlemen are, however, working to bring about a reconciliation. Gus Schade and some of the boys are talking of making a trip to the World's Fair in a box car, after the fashion of the recent trip of a number of San Francisco waiters. The plan is to hire a box car and fit it up for traveling purposes, and to advertise the resources of Anaheim and its products on the way east and at the fair. The boys want to take along pamphlets, descriptive of the country, and exhibits of fruit and the product of the vine, etc., and will have painted on the outside of the car large and attractive sign bearing the words "The Mother Colony on Wheels." At each stopping place it is intended to get off and distribute the literature and show the exhibit to the crowds that will come to see the boys go by. The Easterners will be shown what we raise, not only in the line of fruits and wine, but in the matter of enterprising youths as well, and Gus thinks he can set a pace for them back in the States that will be altogether out of sight. He is now in communication with Mr. Wade of the Santa Fe line, and if a cheap enough rate can be agreed upon for the long haul, the boys will begin gathering funds and articles for the exhibit. They will pay their own expenses. The immensity of the structure the Southern Pacific Company is steadily pushing seaward from above the mouth of Old Santa Monica Canyon, now officially known as Port Los Angeles, is hardly appreciated by the general public. Manager Lindley of the Los Angeles Baseball Club has had his picture taken and the same appears in the columnus of the San Francisco papers.

Rather an amusing incident occurred at the Orangethorpe school one day last week while the teacher was conducting the examination of a class of small children in the names bestowed upon people hailing from different countries of the earth.

Trainload after trainload of heavy granite blocks have been dumped on the seaward side of the "fill" approaching the wharf, making an imperishable barrier against the action of unusually high tides.

The wharf will contain an extensive depot and warehouses, as well as a large coal banker, 800 feet in length, with a capacity of 8,000 tons. The entire length of the structure from the shore to the end will be very nearly 4,600 feet, and there is built at the present time over 4,500 feet. That portion of the track leading to the wharf north of the tunnel at Santa Monica, has not yet been turned over to the Operating Department of the Southern Pacific Company, so that a daily train service is not yet in effect, but on Sundays while no work is being done on the wharf or on the track, hourly trains run between the big wharf and Santa Monica, and it is surprising to see the great number of people who take advantage of the Sunday train service to go out and enjoy the beautiful marine view and exhilarating air of the sea, together with the fine fishing from this immense structure.

The High School election held at Anaheim last Saturday resulted in the defeat of the proposition, the vote standing 129 against 119 for. It was a warm contest, and while the result is to be regretted, good may come out of it. The people, the Blade, are assured, are not opposed to the establishment of a high school there, but are prejudiced against those who would probably have had the management of it for the next two years. [What has Dr. Hunt to say to this?] The truth is that the county should have one high school for the present, and it should be located at Santa Ana. Such a school here could be easily reached by scholars from almost every portion of the county, and it would be under the control of the County Board of Education. For Sale.
