AN ABDUCTED BABE AFTER BEING AWAY FROM ITS MOTHER FOR A YEAR IT IS RECOVERED AND RETURNED TO HER. There arrived at the Commercial Hotel last Thursday morning three men, a woman and a very pretty girl baby a year and two days old. The party had just come up from San Diego on the morning train, and told a story which for sensational detail is stranger far than fiction. The men were Steve Stroud of Norwalk, his son-in-law, A. M. Strong, the latter's aged father, both of the same place, and Mrs. Alipaz of San Diego. The babe was Strong's, and had just been recovered at San Diego, by the aid of Keno Wilson, the well-known officer, and had been absent from its mother for a year. The man's eyes were swollen and red, showing that they had been weeping, and the story they told is the strangest and most sensational that we have heard of in many a long day. A year ago last Tuesday evening there was born to Mr. and Mrs. Strong at their residence in Norwalk a girl baby. The nurse at the time of the birth was a Mrs. Smith, who was a trusted servant in the family. When the baby was but a few hours old it was stolen, and Mrs. Smith was of course immediately suspected of the crime. But she stronously denied it, and in the absence of any proof of her guilt, she was not prosecuted. An immediate search was begun for the missing infant by the distracted parents, but it was a long time before any trace of the missing babe could be found. Mrs. Smith left Norwalk and went to Los Angeles, and there Mr. Strond followed her, and some weeks ago, having all the time since the disappearance of the babe been engaged in an earnest endeavor to gain the confidence and friendship of the woman, he succeeded in obtaining a clue which resulted in the finding of the child at San Diego. Mrs. Smith one day showed him a picture of a baby to which she seemed to be greatly attached, but whose identity she was singularly enough loath to disclose. Further The Recorder's report was received and filed, showing the collection of $6. All the reports were referred to the Finance Committee for examination. The Committee on Public Improvements reported, advising the filling up of several chuckholes on Center street with gravel. So ordered. Ordinance No. 81, prohibiting bicycle riding on sidewalks and ball playing on the principal streets, was read and adopted. It will be found in another column. Clerk Nebelang asked for a leave of absence for about a month, to recuperate at some of the famous watering places in this neighborhood. His wife and family have gone to Oregon on a visit, and he will keep up with the procession by going to the springs. The request was granted. He leaves next Monday for the waters at Capistrano. The following bills were audited and ordered paid: W. F. Robinson, nightwatch... $200 T. J. F. Boege, sprinkling... $803 G. Albrecht, carpentering, etc... $912 Jos. Radick, labor... $253 N. A. Bittner, salary... $637 Crane & Co., midsize... $500 P. James, salary... $250 M. Nebelung, same... $250 C. O'Kraffke, same... $204 J. B. Pierce, same... $600 A. Schneider, same... $600 N. P. Steadman, same... $254 J. Ruf, labor... $225 Total... $1073 Outstanding demands against the city amounting to $764 30 were laid over to a subsequent meeting, the city finances being low, but the City Fathers will see that the demands are paid shortly. Charley Wommer appeared before the board to ascertain how much they would take for a second-hand bed belonging to the city. The Chairman was authorized to sell the desk to Mr. Wommer at the highest market price. It was agreed to suspend Sunday sprinkling for the present, partly to save expenses and partly to give the sprinkler a much-needed vacation. According to law all water pipes located on private property must be kept in repair by the owners, and when not repaired when needed, the Marshal is instructed to shut off the water. The pipe in Mitchell's livery stable yard on Center street is in a leaky condition, and he refuses to fix it. The matter was accordingly referred to the Marshal to have it repaired at Mitchell's cost and have the leakage stopped. In this connection, it is to be remarked that should the water be shut off at this point Herr Bennerscheidt's mysterious water supply would also be chopped off, it being the common rumor that his pipes are connected with Mitchell's pipe at this point. But as Bennerscheidt pays the city no water rates, if the water should be shut off the city might save a great deal of water, for which it has never received any pay. Adjourned. THE SUPERVISORS NINE PROPOSALS FOR A COURT-HOUSE SITE, AND ALL REJECTED—OLIVE AND PERALTA SCHOOL BONDS. The Board of Supervisors met in regular session on Monday and devoted the greater part of the day to considering the proposals for a county court-house site. Nine proposals were received, but not one of them was satisfactory, and the board decided to keep the matter of receiving bids open for another month. The following is a list of bids: W. H. Spurgeon offered Spurgeon's Park, one of any proof of her guilt, she was not prosecuted. An immediate search was begun for the missing infant by the distracted parents, but it was a long time before any trace of the missing babe could be found. Mrs. Smith left Norwalk and went to Los Angeles, and there Mr. Strond followed her, and some weeks ago, having all the time since the disappearance of the babe been engaged in an earnest endeavor to gain the confidence and friendship of the woman, he succeeded in obtaining a clue which resulted in the finding of the child at San Diego. Mrs. Smith one day showed him a picture of a baby to which she seemed to be greatly attached, but whose identity she was singularly enough loath to disclose. Further questioning on the part of Mr. Strond brought forth a confession from the woman, who admitted that she had stolen the baby and bad sold it to Mrs. Alipaz a few hours after its birth. Both women had entered into a conspiracy to rob the Strongs of their child, for some inexplicable reason, and the story shows how completely they had carried out their plot. Mr. Strond immediately returned to Norwalk and imparted the startling but nevertheless most agreeable information to his son-in-law and daughter, and the three gentlemen—Mr. Strond and the two Stronges—repaired to San Diego in search of the lost child. The services of the Sheriff of San Diego county were at first secured, and Keno Wilson was detailed to hunt up the child. He went to the Alipaz house, and the first person he saw was a little child who resembled very much the one whose photograph Strond had obtained from Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Alipaz appeared a moment later, and stoutly declared the child was her own. Wilson disbelieved her, and at once showed her the photograph, and when confronted by Stroud who indignantly charged her with having stolen the child, the woman broke down and hysterically admitted that she had conspired with the Smith woman to steal the baby, and gathered it up in her arms and began kissing and hugging it in a violent manner. After regaining her composure she related the story of the abduction. She and the Smith woman had entered into a plot to rob the Strongs of their offspring. For a year they had escaped detection. The little one had been known during its year of captivity as No. 99, which is believed to be evidence of the fact that the women were engaged in the business of abduction. Wilson said he would take the child to its father, who awaited him at the Courthouse, but the woman begged to be permitted to go along and deliver the child to its father with her own hands. Her request was granted, and on appearing at the Courthouse, the father almost prostrated with nervous excitement over a realization of the fact that his long search was at last at an end, took his child in his arms, and broke down with emotion. The Alipaz woman sobbed hysterically and begged to accompany the child to its mother, and this the father at length consented she should do. The whole party went to a hotel to pass the night. While there the Alipaz woman's husband appeared and asked to see his wife. The others of the party retired while the two engaged in conversation, being closely watched by Wilson. He saw the man give the woman a bottle, and immediately sprang forward and took it away from her. It contained morphine. Alipaz was ordered out of the hotel and told to remain away and a strict watch was kept over the woman, less she might take it into her head to murder the child. She slept with the little one overnight, but Strong sat up the whole night through in an adjoining room, the door open so that he could have a full view of the wo NINE PROPOSALS FOR A COURT-HOUSE SITE, AND ALL REJECTED—OLIVE AND PERAULTA SCHOOL BONDS. The Board of Supervisors met in regular session on Monday and devoted the greater part of the day to considering the proposals for a county court-house site. Nine proposals were received, but not one of them was satisfactory, and the board decided to keep the matter of receiving bids open for another month. The following is a list of the bids: W. H. Spurgeon offered Spurgeon's Park, one whole block, for $6,000; also all of block B. Spurgeon's addition to Santa Ana, and the north 114 feet of the park, for $4,000; also block B and block 21 of the park tract, for $9,500; also a block on West street, near the gas house, for $4,000; T.

Ford offered three lots and 150 feet in the Layman property for $8,450; H. H. Roper offered the same property, together with adjoining property in the Birch addition, for $10,000; John Avas offered the same property, for $14,500. The supervisors paid a visit to the various tracts, and decided to reject all bids, and to keep notice for site open for another month, the proposals to be for a full block of land, with streets on each side, and to be deeded to the city in fee simple. Bids for the Poralta school district bonds were received as follows: Bank of Tustin, $2,000 par and $81 premium; Samuel Waters, par on bonds Nos. 4 and 5 and $25 premium; DeVan & Rutledge, par and $98 premium; A.

Supervisor Hawkins reported in the matter of delinquent land owners in cleaning the Bolsa drainage ditch, among them the Stearns Ranchos Company, and others. It was ordered that Mr. Hawkins, the road commissioner through whose district the said drainage ditch is constructed, be directed she should do. The whole party went to a hotel to pass the night. While there the Alipaz woman's husband appeared and asked to see his wife. The others of the party retired while the two engaged in conversation, being closely watched by Wilson. He saw the man give the woman a bottle, and immediately sprang forward and took it away from her. It contained morphine. Alipaz was ordered out of the hotel and told to remain away and a strict watch was kept over the woman, lost one might take it into her head to murder the child. She slept with the little one over night, but Strong sat up the whole night through in an adjoining room, the door open so that he could have a full view of the woman in bed. Stroud remained with him during his all night's vigil. The next morning they took the early train for this city, where they sighted and went to the Commercial Hotel, where they took dinner. The register bears the name,"Mr. Stroud and three friends, Norwalk." After dinner they ordered a carriage and were driven to their home at Norwalk, where the lost babes was returned to its mother's arms. Runaway Accident. While Mrs. Bonnett and Mrs. H. Morris with their little children were driving down Center street last Thursday afternoon their horse took fright at a passing bicycle and started to run away. The animal bolted down the street, and ran up on the sidewalk in front of Mr. Schindler's house. The vehicle came near toppling over, and Mrs. Morris and two of the children were thrown violently to the ground. Mrs. Bonnett, with rare presence of mind, threw her child in arms gently down in the ploughed ground at the corner, but before she could herself alight the horse went crashing into the hitching post in front of Mr. Witte's residence, demolishing the vehicle and throwing her with much force to the ground. She was very badly bruised and narrowly escaped being killed. She was picked up unconscious and carried into Mr. Witte's residence which was generously placed at the disposal of the unfortunate, and a physician sent for. One of Mrs. Bonnett's children was extricated from under the upturned rig, and all were taken into the house, where the members of the household set about ministering to their wants. It was found that no bones were broken, and outside of a severe shaking up and a very bad fright all hands had a most providential escape, Mrs. Bonnett's baby being unhurt. After recovering from the shock they were later taken to their homes, where they have since entirely recovered. Earska Lemons Valencia Lakes and Navels and Mediterranean orange trees for sale.

Mrs. Nugent hail a narrow escape from a very shocking death last Saturday shortly before noon. She had laid down for a short nap, and her nerves being in somewhat of a shattered condition, she applied a bottle of ether to her nostrils for the purpose of inhaling the drug to induce sleep. The inhalation was of too prostrating a character, and the fortunate discovery of her, in a comotose condition, by her husband, who immediately gave the alarm and ran for a doctor, was the only means of saving her life. It was well along in the afternoon before she had recovered sufficiently to be pronounced completely out of danger. The patriotic citizens of Santa Ana are preparing for a grand celebration of the Glorious Fourth.

While camping in the Santiago last week Ed Morgan had a spirited encounter with a red racer, a notably vicious snake frequenting the mountains and said to be next to the rattler the most poisonous variety of reptile frequenting these latitudes. Ed was out with his gun looking for rabbits, and while going along a narrow trail his attention was attracted to a large red snake lying across the path. As soon as the reptile behold the hero of the story he raised his head and made for Ed savagely, darting out his tongue and hissing. Ed simply leveled his gun and shot, taking off the reptile's head and sending him into kingdom come. It was found to be of unusually large size, being between four and five feet long. Mrs. Minnie Mooney of Santa Ana, formerly Minnie Layman, was married on Tuesday of last week to Theodore Fulton, an employee in the office of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company in San Francisco. Mrs. Mooney first met him while attending school in the city, some four years ago, and when she returned to Santa Ana after graduating was said to be engaged to be married to him She went East, fell in with Mooney, became infatuated of him and married him while Fulton looked lonely for her return Her married life was not a happy one, Mooney went to State Prison for forgery and his wife applied for and was given a divorce. A child was born, and with it Ms Mooney has been living quietly in Los Angeles for a year or so past. Two weeks ago she picked up and went to San Francisco, where she was married to Fulton, her relatives at Santa Ana knowing nothing about it until they heard of it in the papers. Tommy Morris beat Kid Pulley in the hundred-yard foot race at Riverside last Wednesday afternoon, time 9:2-5 seconds. While the two were scoring, and when nearly forty minutes had been consumed in trying to get a start, aystander applied an approbrioious epithet to Morris, when the latter left the track and went over to him and dealt him a blow in the face, knocking him down and severely cutting him. Morris went back on the track, and a moment thereafter they started, with Morris slightly in the lead. He increased the distance to several feet at the outcome, making the wonderful time of 9:2-5 seconds, beating the world's record. Morris bet everything he had on the race, including his racehorse Jingley, which he put up against $800 with a Riverside sport. He won upwards of a thousand dollars besites, and will leave next week for the Chicago Fair, where he will enter the free-for-all footrace and meet the crack sprinters of the country. Don Marcos Foster made a comfortable winning of something like five or six thousand dollars on the race. P.Y. Havner of Pomona was in town one day last week. He will shortly begin the publication of a six-page weekly at Monaa, to be called The Beacon, and can take over with him the Journal's hard press, which we understand, he had borne from Palmer & Roy, to whom it has been transferred by Nugent. As M.Korn's mortgage of $125 had not been paid, the press could not be moved, and M.Havner returned to his home without it. Prof. Grogan has been appointed a member of the County Board of Education, who is a fitting recognition of his services as teacher.
