LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK Important Matters in the Irrigation District. Mr. Harris' Check Deposited in the Bank of Anaheim to Hind His Purchase of Honds Declared Worthless The City Fathers Fix the Tax Levy - Beet Shipments Continue, and the Sugar Tests Remain High Notes from the Landing - Social Notes and Personal Mention. The Directors of the irrigation district met on Tuesday in adjourned session, when the committee appointed to confer with the water company about the use of ditches to fill the contemplated reservoir reported that they had been requested to present their case in writing, after which it would be considered by the company. Judge Brousseau gave it as his opinion that, inasmuch as some of the district Directors were stockholders in the water company, a written agreement, which would be in the nature of a contract, would be illegal and therefore not binding, and the matter was passed over temporarily. The $6,000 check deposited by Dr. D.J. Harris, to indemnify the district in the sale of $170,000 of bonds to Harris & Co. should the sale be not effected, was examined by Judge Brousseau and found to be hardly worth the paper it was written upon. The check was drawn up under the supervision of Judge Wilson, the former attorney of the board, yet Judge Brosseau finds it to be worthless. To say that Judge Wilson's action meets with the condemnation of the board is to express it mildly. Judge Brousseau was instructed to correspond with Mr. Harris and request him to place a cash check in bank to bind the sale of bonds, failing to do which all transactions with him are to be declared off and new bids for the purchase of the bonds will be called for. The Judge will report at the meeting of the board to be held a week from Tuesday. ity of keeping the runs on both sides even, and Mr. Kellogg moved that water on each and every run close on the same day. Mr. Bottsford moved to refer to a committee to report at the next meeting. Carried. The President appointed Messrs. Tuffree and Rust as such committee. Directors Stadtegger and Carroll of the irrigation district appeared before the board, and the former outlined the purpose of the district to construct a reservoir at Yorba, and asked permission of the board to use the ditches of the company for filling the reservoir. Director Tuffree thought it was labor lost talking about that, and moved to adjourn. Mr. Stadtegger continued his outline of the policy of the district to build the reservoir and fill it with water either through the company's ditches or by a pipe line from the river. He was asked to bring the matter before the board in writing, and Col. Tuffree for the third or fourth time during the afternoon moved to adjourn, and the meeting was at an end. A large crowd of town irrigators had gathered to read the riot act to the Directors for the scarcity of water in town, while the northside irrigators had been reveling in plenty, but before they could put in their oar, so to speak, the meeting adjourned. BY THE SOUNDING SEA MILITARY BOYS BREAK CAMP AND COME HOME, LEAVING THE GIRLS BEHIND THEM—PERSONAL NOTES ANAHEIM LANDING, Aug. 23, 1893. On Monday morning the military company pulled up stakes, folded their tents and returned to town. Col. Schrieber wired the boys that they could remain for a longer period if they desired, but they agreed to break camp, owing to the business engagements of a number of the members. Their ten days' sojourn was a most pleasant one, and the company's departure was looked upon with feelings of regret by the remaining campers. Eight of the brave soldier boys voted to walk in, and after a lively tramp lasting about four hours, arrived in town safe and sound. A number of the others in camp resolved to await a more opportunity time and ride. The boys again came out in mock drill on Sunday afternoon, dressed in masquerade costumes, and under the generalship of Privates Littlefield and Hill, who, by the way, are the two funny lads of the company, marched around the principal thoroughfares and created quite a lot of amusement. There were only three occupants of the the former attorney of the board, yet Judge Brouseau finds it to be worthless. To say that Judge Wilson's action meets with the condemnation of the board is to express it mildly. Judge Brouseau was instructed to correspond with Mr. Harris and request him to place a cash check in bank to bind the sale of bonds, failing to do which all transactions with him are to be declared off and new bids for the purchase of the bonds will be called for. The Judge will report at the meeting of the board to be held a week from Tuesday, by which time he may also have prepared a resolution asking for bids for the purchase of more bonds, and steps may be taken to commence work upon the district's reservoir and other works, payment to be made in bonds. WATER COMPANY. ZANJERO STONE FINED THIRTY DOLLARS FOR NEGLECT OF DUTY, AND REINSTATED DURING GOOD BEHAVIOR—KEEPING THE RUNS EVEN. The Directors of the water company met in regular session on Saturday, present Director McFadden, Kellogg, Rust, Tuffree, Zeyn and Botsford. The matter of the measurement of the Yorba water was left to the Superintendent, who was instructed to continue the measurement as has all along prevailed, measuring 200 inches from the center of the orifice under a four-inch pressure. Superintendent Groat read his report upon the condition of ditches and other affairs of the company. He reported an increase of over 1,000 inches of water in the river, due to shutting off water by irrigators up the stream. Charley Stone appeared before the board in deep disgrace. Last week it had been reported that Charley was neglecting his duties and that water was running to waste in torrents, and Zanjero Littlefield was sent over to remedy the state of affairs. It is said that on account of the prevailing scarcity of water, coupled with the monometallic message of the President, Charley had become watchworn and weary, and forgetting that at length it bitch like a serpent and stingeth like an adder, had cast his eyes upon the ambrosial nectar that flows from Conrad's brewery and had forgotten all about his work. At a wayside inn Charley's friends had prevailed upon him to give them "Roger O'Malley," which Charley can do out of sight, and meanwhile, during Wednesday and Thursday, the water ran to waste in the country beyond Brookshurst. Speaking in his own behalf, Charley said that he had notified Brownning's man that he would have the water after the Brookshurst irrigation, but had not gone down to see whether everything was all right. The President figured up that $28 87 worth of water had been permitted to go to waste through Mr. Stone's neglect. Charley said that he would make that all right if given another chance to take the job, and would try to do better in future. Mr. Botsford moved that he be fused $30 and be reinstated in his place subject to good behavior. Director Kellogg said that he didn't think Charley ought to be taken back, and spoke and the company's departure was looked upon with feelings of regret by the remaining campers. Eight of the brave soldier boys voted to walk in, and after a lively tramp lasting about four hours, arrived in town safe and sound. A number of the others in camp resolved to await a more opportune time and ride. The boys again came out in moek drill on Sunday afternoon, dressed in masquerade costumes, and under the genetship of Privates Littlefield and Hill, who, by the way, are the two funny ladds of the company, marched around the principal thoroughfares and created quite a lot of amusement. There were only three occupants of the guard house during the company's stay, which speaks well for their department. The usual Sunday throng was on hand and everybody seemed to be in the swim. The Fullerton band came down and during the day sweet strains of music were heard. The Sunflower entertainment last Friday evening and Prof. Holgate's dance Saturday evening were two of the society events of the season. As a fitting testimonial to their noisemaking qualifications when off duty, some of the G men, together with additional recruits from the outside, gathered Sunday night and proceeded to serenade the camp with the latest songs of the day, just to let the people know they were alive. One song entitled something like "Nineteen Blue Bottles Hanging on the Wall," claimed their especial attention. The song sounds especially beautiful when sung by about nineteen then. They run the number of blue bottles hanging on the wall up to fifty and then made them gradually diminish to one, and repeat, the tune meanwhile remaining the same. Some of the people serenaded threatened to shoot, while others only said they would swear out warrants for the guilty ones in the morning. Isaac Lyons and family and Jake Stern and family came down for the first time this season. Mrs. Levicke of San Francisco is visiting here. Herman Dickel was a Sunday caller. Mrs. Beatty and Miss Rutta Smith are late arrivals at the warehouse. Mrs. Landell and Miss Daisy sojourned here for a few days. Mrs. Henry Kruger came down Sunday for a short vacation. Miss Louise Berlin and Miss Hazel Wood of Yorba were among the Sunday callers and spent a most delightful day at the seaside. Miss Wood, who later arrived from Los Angeles, has taken charge of the Yorba school, where she teaches the young idea how to shoot. Veit Bentz and Mrs. Frank Steadman and family spent the day here. Billy Carlisle came all the way from Puente to see the girls. Col. Robison and Bill Kelsey came in with flying colors. George Wisser and Miss Addie Spoerl spent a pleasant day here. Jake Berlin came down to look on and see the sights. Clyde Mack and Will Christman of Santa Ana were attentive to several of the camp's charmers. John Roller was a visitor. Ed Schulz and Cy McCormick came in Sunday night to help out with the singing. Privates Henry and Harper are of the opinion that there are none so sweet as the Landing girls. Harry Savage drove a fiery untamed steed, and just hit the high places on his way home until within about half way, when the horse went in use. Henry and Haman hunters of the Warner turned last week from in that country, loaded snake stories.

Deputy Marshal Best yesterday morning sunset The arrest was made one over by Marshal Nicholeah Nichola came over after a careful questioning at Speaking in his own behalf, Charley said that he had notified Browning's man that he would have the water after the Brookshurst irrigation, but had not gone down to see whether everything was all right. The President figured up that $28 87 worth of water had been permitted to go to waste through Mr. Stone's neglect. Charley said that he would make that all right if given another chance to take the job, and would try to do better in future. Mr. Botsford moved that he be fused $30 and be reinstated in his place subject to good behavior. Director Kellogg said that he didn't think Charley ought to be taken back, and spoke against giving him another trial. Director Tuffee did not see the use of crucifying a man, and Mr. Botsford's motion prevailed, all voting in favor of it except Kellogg. Charley will go to work again. He is the best zanjero the company has had in a long time and gives satisfaction to every one, and hereafter, when he hoars the siren song of the temper saying come away, come away, he will heed it not, but will keep on the even tenor of his way rejoicing, remembering that the board says he mustn't. Sing yo no and heavieho and avast! A letter was received from A. H. Koebig of San Bernardo relative to acting as consulting engineer with Mr. Kellogg in the measurements of water and other matters connected with the Jurupa lawsuit. The board took no action, but Mr. Kellogg was instructed by the attorney of the company and by Mr. Koech of the Santa Ana water company to ascertain Mr. Koebig's prices in the premises and report. Mr. Korn wrote saying that he would bring suit against the company for damages sustained by him on account of not getting water in his turn when the same had been purchased. He addressed the board and said that he had purchased water 65 days ago and had not yet received any, while he said irrigators in North Anahiem had been having plenty. He charged the board with discrimination in favor of the north side irrigators. Mr. McFadden said there was no intention on the part of the board to discriminate. The water would be turned into the Anahiem ditch on Tuesday, when there would be plenty for all. Mr. Korn said he would wait until Tuesday, and if he would not get water then in this turn he would bring suit against the company for damages. Isaac Lyons appeared before the board and said that the last time he had been delivered water the ditch broke and the greater portion of the water escaped. He asked to be permitted to purchase more. The sum of $1 03 was found on the books to Mr. Lyona' credit, and the zanjero was instructed to deliver him water to that amount. Some discussion arose as to the advisabil- ORANGE GROWERS' MEETING The orange growers of Anahheim, Fullerton, Placentia and other localities convenient are requested to attend a meeting to be held at Kroegora' Hall at 7 o'clock to-morrow (Friday) evening, the 25th. The meeting will be added by T. H. B. Chamblin of Riverside. All orange growers and others interested in the business are earnestly requested to be present. A. H. CARGILL, W. M. McFADEN, Committee. The Santa Ana correspondent of the Los Angeles Times writes: "A few years ago the Little Lord Fauntelroy Dramatic Company purchased a beautiful ranch in the Placentia district. They installed as manager there Capt. J. S. Fronch a man whose genial disposition made him known far and near over Orange county. He was one of the best entertainers in the country. The ranch brought in plenty of means to support a convivial life and the old gentleman seems to have lost control of himself and his bibulous desires until he became unfit to manage the ranch. It was sold, and the old gentleman was lost sight of until Thursday, when he arrived in Santa Ana, having been forwarded to Santa Ana by the Los Angeles County Supervisors. He is paralyzed and seems thoroughly demoted. He rested last night in the County Jail. His people, who are said to be wealthy, will be notified."

Louis Mesmer of the United States Hotel was married to a charming young widow in Los Angeles a month or so ago, and his sons and daughters have just found it out. A Los Angeles man has brought suit against the couple to recover $500 loaned the fair bride some months ago, which she has since been unable to pay. Louis is in San Francisco with his new-made bride, but to a reporter said that he was afraid there would be a row among the children over the marriage when he got back. The children are said to be waiting for him with a club. Saturday evening about 10 o’clock the one-story cottage belonging to Mrs. V. Blanchard, situated in the orange grove immediately north of Mrs. Menzel’s residence near the Southern Pacific depot, was found to be on fire and before assistance could arrive it was burned to the ground. No alarm was turned in, but cries of fire in the western part of town brought quite a number of people out, who found that the flames had progressed so far that it was useless to attempt to save the building, and it was destroyed. The building was untenanted. Mrs. Blanchard have recently moved into town. The property was insured for $1,000 in the Home Mutual. The fire is supposed to have been caused by tramps, many of whom have been attracted to the neighborhood of late on account of the lively scenes about the depot. Col. A. L. Clarke, the founder of Fairview, near Newport, met with a shocking death one day last week as a result of an accident while out riding on horseback near his home at the first-named place. His horse stepped into a post-hole, throwing him violently to the ground, and inflicting injuries which proved fatal. The unfortunate man was taken home and physicians sent for. It was found that he had sustained internal injuries, and he ligered in great pain for a day or two, when he expired. His wife and daughter wore in Chicago, and were telegraphed about the accident, and started immediately on their homeward trip. They arrived in time to attend the funeral, which occurred on Tuesday.

His death is a serious loss to his section and is mourned by a wide circle of friends, who deeply deplore his untimely end. The Anaheim correspondent of the Times very truthfully says: “A certain peace officer in this city was heard to remark that “if there was money in it” he would lay his hands on the parties guilty of recent burglaries in pretty short order. Such a sentiment is unworthy of utterance by any public official, and if any one of them so far forget or overlook his sworn duty as to make such an assertion, sooner she is relegated to private life—the better for our city and its government.” Precisely so This was the city that prevailed last year—that “if there was money in it” he burglar would be speedily apprehended. It is also said that City Marshal Nichols of Santa Ana, one of the best all-round officers and detectives on coast, gave an Anaheim officer sufficient information last year to lead to the arrest of the burglaries yet Nichols’ advice went unheeded. This burglar business has gone so far that names of parties in town have been mentioned, and unless the officers do something soon to apprehend them, the people will get together, and very speedily remedy the matter, officers, burglaries and all. Just below the city limits, on the southeast, Mr. George A. Hunter has one of the finest thirty-five-acre places that can be found in the entire valley. Three years agothe place had nothing on it but a few gum and pepper trees.To-day Mr.Hunter has a fine three-year-old orange orchard which cannot be beaten anywhere,and a young walnut orchard which has shown a most remarkable growth.From he seed this spring,tree and four feet high,and as thrift as any we ever saw.One feature ofthe place is a fine splendid tomato vines which yield tomatoesof large size and excellent quality,and another feature isthe watermelon patchwhich without any doubt isthe finest inthe valley.Mr.Hunter’s melons areofvery superiorquality,andhe findsa ready salefor themnot onlyin townbutintheLosAngeleshotelsaswell,andnextyearhewillsupplytheleadinghotelsofLosAngeleswith melonsThree yearsagomuchofthecountrysoutheastoftownwasregardedasvalueless,butMr.Hunterhas demonstratedthatthesectionis quite as rich asanyinthevalley.HoethavedallovertheRiversideandColtoncountry,andwasdisatisfiedwithwhathe sawuntilhe camehere,andsettleduponwhatmany thoughtacomparativelyworthlesspieceofland.Buthisgoodjudgmenthasbeen illustratedinthewonderfulchangesthathave takenplaceinnisranch,andhe tellsusheisjustbeginning.Weworkformanythirtyplacessuchashisinthatneighborhoodinthenearfuture.

The arrest was made on a description sent over by Marshal Nichols of Santa Ana, Marshall Nichols came over in the afternoon, and after a careful questioning concluded it was not the man Arthur Brown who was wanted. Brown took his two carpet bags and quickly hunted the Southern Pacific depot, a happy man, but satisfied that Anaheim was, after all, a dangerous place for "auspects." We are in receipt of an anonymous letter from Westminster containing a diagram showing that the Bolsa drainage ditch is responsible for the scarcity of water in the Santa Ana river. But there are a thousand inches of water more in the river now than a week ago. The drainage ditch has very little to do with the water in the river, but we wouldn't mind having about a thousand inches from it regularly during the dry season, if we could get it. Sabina Sorensen has bought suit against Francis Armburster as administrator of the estate of Daniel J. Sorensen, deceased, Daniel Sorensen, Sophia Sorensen, Francis Armburster, Paulino Armburster, William Sorensen, Adelbert Sorensen and Edwin Sorensen, minors; Richard Heimann, Pauline Heimann, William Rooch, Gustave Heimann, Bertha Heimann and Lawrence Boldt to quiet title to the property at the corner of Olive and Adele streets. A quiet wedding took place last Wednesday afternoon at the residence of Mr. Wm. Schulte in Orangathorpe, the contracting parties being Mr. M. R. Poudleton, the principal of the Fullerton schools, and Miss Clara Schulte, one of the most amiable and accomplished young ladies of this section. The ceremony was performed by Rev. G. J. Schultz, and none but the family and immediate friends were present. The happy couple left for Coronado the same evening for a short honeymoon, after which they returned and have gone to housekeeping at Fullerton. Aspirants for Postmaster at Santa Ana have been on the tiptoe of expectancy for some days past over the rumor that a change in the office there would soon be announced. About a half dozen candidates are in the field for the office, and it is even rumored that Col. Peabody, late of the Blade, is in well, and next year he will supply the leading hotels of Los Angeles with melons. Three years ago much of the country southeast of town was regarded as valueless, but Mr. Hunter has demonstrated that the section is quite as rich as any in the valley. He has traveled all over the Riverside and Colton country, and was dissatisfied with what he saw until he came here, and settled upon what many thought a comparatively worthless piece of land. But his good judgment has been illustrated in the wonderful changes that have taken place in his ranch, and he tells us he is just beginning. We look for many thrirty places such as his in that neighborhood in the near future. Shipments of beets to Chino during the week have been as follows: Date Pounds Praviously reported: 1,862,332 Thursday, August 17: 247,054 Friday, August 18: 191,022 Saturday, August 19: 219,505 Monday, August 21: 200,290 Tuesday, August 22: 200,400 Wednesday, August 23: 210,100 Total 3,130,723 It is calculated to ship one hundred tons per day, the shipments from Buena Park aggregating twenty tons daily. The refinery can handle only 120 tons of beets from this point. The beets that have come in during the week are larger than those first brought in, and the tests are consequently a shade lower. The average, however, remains at a very satisfactory figure. THIS WEEK'S TENTS. Sugar. Purity. G. W. Snyder 18¾ 84.1 E. C. Pholpa (Westminster) 20.7 89.0 A. Paschal 19.8 82.2 J.C.

The circular states that the reason for this is the scarcity of cash, and the difficulty of securing accommodation from the banks. The circular states that no further postponement will be asked One of the officials stated that the same order had been issued on the entire Santa Fe system, and that while it was possible that the company had friends enough to pay off on time here, it was considered wiser to adopt a uniform time all over the road. The amount of cash required on the Southern California road amounts to from $110,000 to $125,000 per month. The employees all take the announcement in good part.

The Los Angeles papers have lately contained lengthy accounts coupling the name of Miss E. L. Hoffman, who for some time past has been a resident of this city, with the notorious Bentley poisoning case, and containing very damaging testimony against her. Bentley was convicted of poisoning his wife, but obtained a new trial, at which time the Judge observed that if no stronger evidence were introduced against the accused, he would instruct the jury to discharge the prisoner. The District Attorney thereupon moved to dismiss the case, and Bentley walked forth a free man. It was currently reported at that time that a certain woman friend of Bentley knew a great deal about the case, and that if she could be found and placed upon the witness stand, there would be no trouble in convicting him. This missing witnesses is none other than Miss Hoffman, who is placed in a very unenviable light in connection with the affair. Previous to meeting Bentley, Miss Hoffman kept a lodging-house in San Francisco. She became acquainted with him through a matrimonial advertisement which Bentley inserted in a San Francisco paper while living in Los Angeles, and after he had married his late wife. Through this advertisement she was induced to come to Los Angeles, supposing that Bentley was an unmarried man, but shortly after her arrival she learned of the deception which had been practiced on her and raised a great row. Bentley, through his attorney, in some peculiar way, induced her to sign a paper releasing him from all liability to a breach of promise suit for a consideration of $70 cash and a note for $6,000, which afterward proved valueless. In addition to this, it is asserted that Bentley made her promise of marriage as soon as his wife should die, which he assured her would be in not more than six months, and kept up this assertion until after his wife's death. The detectives claim to have evidence that Miss Hoffmau admitted before witnesses that Bentley had induced her to buy a bottle of strychnine, but that she had no knowledge of any use he intended to make of it.
