SOFT WORDS BUTTER NO PARSNIPS. Bank Depositors Speak Out Against Plez James. While an Investigation of the Assets Shows that Depositors May in Time Probably Be Paid Dollar for Dollar, Still an Examination of the Books Shows them to be Incomplete and Unsatisfactory—There Was no Stock Ledger, and no Capital Stock and Dividend Account—Hiram Mabury Sold His Stock, but He Is Still Held Responsible for $40,000—Mr. James’ Private Account—Full Reports of the Investigating Committees—The Attention of the Grand Jury Will Probably Be Called to the Matter. We have refrained from criticising the affairs of the Bank until such time as reports measurably reliable could be obtained from the mass of unconfirmed rumors floating about in reference to the suspension. The committee appointed by the depositors have investigated the affairs of the suspended institution and have made their reports, and we herewith present them. That depositors will be paid sin time in full there is little doubt, but that the management of the bank has been such as to call for an investigation by the Grand Jury is also patent to the unbiased observer. The following full and complete account of the meeting of depositors will be perused with interest by all our readers. Kroeger’s Hall was well filled with depositors Tuesday who assembled to hear the reports of the two committees appointed by them two weeks ago to investigate the books and securities of the suspended institution. Judge J. B. Pierce presided, and B. V. Garwood acted as Secretary. The minutes of the former meeting were read and approved, after which the reports of the committees were called for. Max Nebelung, Secretary of the committee to examine the bank’s securities, read the following report: ANAHEIM, September 28, 1893. To the depositors of the Bank of Anaheim—Gentleman: We, your committee, appointed at a general meeting of the depositors on Son Alta Vista tract, Boyle Heights, Los Angeles; sold to Stern & Goodman, $150.

The report was laid on the table until the reading of the other committee’s report, dealing with the books of the bank. Mr. Chynoweth came forward and read the following very interesting report: REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE APPPOINTED TO EXamine THE BOOKS OF THE BANK OF ANAHEIM. We, the undersigned, your committee appointed to examine the books of the Bank of Anaheim, beg leave to report: That Mr. C. H. Gosch was unable to act on account of sickness; that we were thereupon authorized by your committee of five to proceed to the examination of the books of the bank without further assistance. We have examined the books of the Bank of Anaheim as thoroughly as possible considering the short time allowed for that purpose; your committee of five having directed that we confine ourselves to the main points involved of interest to the depositors. Our examination has not been complete, especially as to the accounts of their corresponding banks, owing to the incomplete nature of the records of the transactions. CAPITAL STOCK. We find that when the present manager certain individuals whose names we do not feel at liberty to publish. DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS. There has been deposited in the Bank of Anaheim, as shown by its books, since it resumed business on the 18th day of July, 1893, and up to September 8, 1893, the sum of $138,665 13; and withdrawn the sum of $152,410 61. Excess withdrawn over deposits,$13,445 48. We are unable to state how much of this amount was deposited in coin, as the record does not show what these deposits were composed. FUNDS OF THE BANK WITHDRAWN BY MR. JAMES SINCE JUNE 18, 1893. We infer that it will be of interest to the depositors to know the amounts withdrawn from the bank by Mr. James since the 18th of June, 1893, and up to the 8th day of September, 1893, both days inclusive. We therefore make the following statement: MR. JAMES’ PERSONAL ACCOUNT: June 19, 1893 $57 75 Aug. 21... 76 95 "20... 271 55 "22... 20 00 "21... 35 00 "24 07 July 18... 20 70 "28... 276 00 "19... 18 40 "30... 20 "27... 40 75 "31... 15 45 Aug. 1... 11 28 Sept. 1... 15 15 "2... 3 00 "2... 11 45 "3... 11 40 "4... *161 45 "4... 22 62 "4... *43 40 "7... 25 0 "5... *145 00 "8... 30 00 "6... *15 05 "11... 36 29 "8... *203 77 "17... 40 00 Since June 19, 1893,$1,597 58. *For repairing home premises,and charged to profit and loss.

At the conclusion of the reading,the were many wrathy depositors in the hall,and the management of the bank came in for no little condemnation on all sides. Time Lynch said that in the bank’s adversementthe amount of capital stock had all along been placed at $100,000.In Mr.Bartlett’s statement it is placed at $20,000.The bank advertised its paid up capital stock at $20,000with a reserve fund of $10,000.Ho would like to have this important matter cleared up and explained.Ho wanted to see Hiram Maybury and the other stockholders charged up with the amount of their subscriptions. Mr. Stadtegger said that the bank’s books had not been kept in proper shape;they were incomplete. There was no stock ledger,and the second index of shareswhich ports of the two committees appointed by them two weeks ago to investigate the books and securities of the suspended institution. Judge J. B. Pierce presided, and B. V. Garwood acted as Secretary. The minutes of the former meeting were read and approved, after which the reports of the committees were called for. Max Nebolung, Secretary of the committee to examine the bank's securities, read the following report: ANAHEIM, September 28, 1893.

Mabury is liable to the depositors of this bank for $40,-000 on the unpaid stock and pro rata on the remaining indebtedness, if any. We have made a careful canvass of all securities, real and personal, and have placed such valuations on the same as in our judgment they are worth at the present time. We have carefully examined the bond of Mr. W. S. Bartlett, the President of the bank, and found said bond executed in due form, as far as we are able to judge, and properly acknowledged. The names of the bondmen and the amounts in which they have qualified, are as follows: C. W. Breygogley; San Jose; $40,000; H. Mabury; San Jose; $50,000; D. Halliday; Santa Ana; $5,000; Noah Palmer; Santa Ana; $5,000; Total, $100,000. Bond is now deposited in the safe of A. Langeberger. LIABILITY: We find that when the present management took charge of the bank, that the stockholders paid on the capital stock, $20,-000, as follows: Plez James, 485 shares, $8,500; H. Murbury, 485 shares,$8,500; E. Spence, 10 shares,$1,000; W. K. James, 10 shares,$1,000; S. H. Mott, 10 shares, $1,000. This ownership of stock was continued until August 9, 1893, when the stock was owned as follows: Paul R. Mabury, 500 shares; Plez James, 480 shares; George Horr, 10 shares; A. Rumpau, 5 shares; F.acks, 5 shares. On September 7, 1893, Plez James transferred one share to W. S. Bartlett. The face value of each share is $100. Capital stock,$100,000; capital paid up,$20,000. The reserve fund is made up from the surplus profits of the bank during the present management,and amounts to $10,000. DIVIDENDS: During this time no dividends were declared,但 at intervals the profits of the bank were divided between Mr. James and Mr. Mabury equally,在the meantime Mr. James drawing a salary of$2,400 per year,在addition to his share of the profits. DEPOSITORS' ACCOUNT: We find the deposits,aas given by Mr. Bartlett on the 19th day of September，1893，to be correct,towit: Deposits，$93，128 67；certificates of deposits，$17，506 39；total due deposits，$110，635 66；since which time there has been paid by transfer of real estate，stocks and notes,the sum of $27，237 25，leaving due deposits on Saturday at the close of businessthe sum of $83，397 81. OTHER ACCOUNTS: We have examined the following accounts:Bills receivable，real estate，miscellaneous stocks，expense account，profit and loss，overdrafts,cash due from banks，certificates of deposits and discount and exchange,and after such examination we find the balances given by Mr. Bartlett in the main correct. REAL ESTATE: In this connection we have given considerable time and labor in the examination of the real estate account，但are unable to givethe exact costofthe real estate ownedbythebank，对于the recordofthe various transactionsofthebankhavebeen kept.Mr.James himself statingthathe could not rememberallthe circumstancesunderwhichalltherealestatewasacquired,manyentriesthatshouldhavebeenchargedtoreal estatehavingbeenchargedtoexpenseaccount,andthoseentrieswhicharechargedtoreal estatedo notspecifytowhichparticularpieceofpropertytheyrefer,noparagraphaccounthavenewkeptforeachpieceofproperty:a great partoftherealestatelongbeingtransferredtothebankhasbeentransferredtothecreditorsofthebankataloss,theamountofwhichlossweareunabletostateforreasonsgivenabove.

Mr.Brown replied that the committee did not know. Their statement shows theredeemed but some checks and some money deposed. The chair (interrupting)—It seems to me there should be no difference between checks and money if the checks were accepted. Mr. Stadtegger explained that the amount deposited between first and second closing could not be ascertained on account of the faulty condition of the books.The books had been kept with as little labor as possible.Running accounts had been called in,and payments overdrafts,iin some cases amounting to large amounts,had been credited as due deposits.The sum of deposits was thus augmented by the settlement of overdrafts。它 was a very milky way of putting it to say that the books were kept in very bad shape. Some discussion arose as to the proprietorship of reading out the names of those charges with overdrafts,but the motion to read them was finally defeated.The list is in therows of the committee,and may be seen by the depositors on application to them. Mr.Korn moved that the report of theremember on the books be received and theremember discharged. This point was debated pro and con,some of the depositors holding that theremember discharged.

Business house on Sixth street, Los Angeles (rented), sold to A. V. Smith for $4500, less mortgage $2,500, net $2,000. House and lot on Seventeenth and Oak streets, Los Angeles, sold to John Hickman, being lot 6, block 8, Los Angeles Homestead tract, $3,300. House and lot on Banning street, Los Angeles, being No. 503 Banning street, sold to John Eyman, $1,000. House and lot on Banning street, Los Angeles, being all of lot No. 21, and all of lot 19, except 24 feet fronting on Banning street, being No. 609 Banning street; sold to Fred Conrad and C. C. Miller, $3,000. Three lots, being Nos. 15, 17 and 18 in many entries that should have been charged to real estate having been charged to expense account, and those entries which are charged to real estate do not specify to which particular piece of property they refer; no separate account having been kept for each piece of property; a great part of the real estate belonging to the bank has been transferred to the creditors of the bank at a loss, the amount of which loss we are unable to state for reasons given above. LOANS. The loans made by the bank, the value of the real estate and other resources owned by the bank were examined and appraised by your committee of five appointed for purpose. PLEZ JAMES' ACCOUNT. We have made an especial examination of the accounts of Mr. Plez James, and find therefrom that he has used the funds of the bank, for a series of years, for the purpose of private investment in lands in the State of Nevada, and in mines in the Republic of Mexico. The amounts used for those purposes are as follows: Nevada Ranch, $16,727 78; Quitoa Mining Company, Mexico, $88-334 14. We also find that the sum of $443 46 has been charged to profit and loss instead of to the Nevada Ranch, making his investments in those properties amount to the sum of $25,505 38. We find that Mr. James' account was overdrawn to the amount of $794 24. We also find charged to profit and loss account the sum of $526, which is explained by Mr. James to be an overdraft remaining unpaid on his residence in this city; also the further sum of $161 45, which was paid on the 4th day of September, 1893, for repairs on his house and barn; also charged to profit and loss, making in all the sum of $26,987 07 which he has withdrawn from the funds of the bank for private purposes. We find that on the 19th day of August, 1893, Mr. James gave to the Bank of Anaheim two notes, due on the 19th day of August, 1896 one for the sum of $10,000 and one for the sum of $15,000, and on the 7th day of September, 1893 he gave to the bank one note for $794 24 due in one year from date, making in all the sum of $25,794 24 which leaves the sum of $1,192 83 unprovided for. AMOUNT DUE TO DEPOSITORS. We wish to call your attention at this point to a discrepancy in the amount due to depositors as appears by the sworn statement given to you as to the condition of the bank June 21, 1893, and the statement given by Mr. Bartlett on the 8th day of September, 1893. The statement made as to its condition on June 21, 1893 shows the amount due depositors to be $1,028 86. This is not a correct statement of the amount due depositors on June 21st for the reason that we have not had time to make a personal inspection of the account of each depositor. We have made an approximate estimate of the amount due depositors on June 21, 1893,and find it to be $125,000. This is within $200 of being the right amount,the difference something over the sum of $44,000being made up by the funds of the bank used by Mr. James,and the overdrafts of Some discussion arose as to the propriety of reading out the names of those charges with overdrafts,but the motion to read them was finally defeated.The list is in the hands of the committee,and may be seen by the depositors on application to them. Mr. Korn moved that the report of the committee on the books be received and that committee discharged. This point was debated pro and con,some of the depositors holding that the committee should pursue their investigations furtherbut on the statement of Mr. Chynoweth that their investigations had been carried as far probably as could be done in the present condition of the books,and that continue the committee would only result needless expense to the depositors,Mr Korn's motion prevailed,and the committee were discharged. Mr. Chynoweth said further that the Bank Commissioners knew of the condition of the bank,and were culpable for their negligencein not making facts known long ago.At Mr. Hiram Maybury's liability,hadbeen informed that that gentleman was not accumulating money in the First National Bankof Los Angeles to meet his liabilityonthe San Diego bank failurewhichamountto$51,000.Ho thoughtthe gentlemenwould not refuseto dothe sameforliability here.

A social dance will be given at the Del Campo to-morrow evening by the local 400. W. Koenig has brought auit to recover $2,000 due on a note, held against Chas. Schindler and Henry Kroeger. A disagreeable Santa Ana wind provailed Sunday and Monday, but the weather has since been ideally perfect. The sidetrack at the Southern Pacific depot has been put in repair. The old ties have been taken out and new ones put in. Tim Boege has put in a couple of large windows and has otherwise improved the appearance of his place of business in the West End. Mr. H. Cahen’s bond as City Treasurer has been approved by the Trustees, and on Tuesday Mr. James turned over the city funds to him. We acknowledge the receipt of a complimentary invitation to attend the opening of the Tustin Hotel, Sanford Johnson’s new hostelry, next Saturday evening. Our old stand-by, Capt. IV. Schumacher, has our thanks for a bundle of late copies of Chicago papers; also for a basket of superb Late Crawford peaches. One hundred men have been employed in grubbing out and cleaning the ground for the now channel for the river below the Fifth-street bridge at Santa Ana. The walnuts are beginning to drop from the trees, and on all sides the growers are engaged in gathering them. Walnuts are of unusually fine quality this year. William L. Brassfield and Miss Maggie E. Merrill were married by Judge Freemau at Santa Ana last week. Brassfield is a resident of Los Angeles and Miss Merrill is of Glenn county. A report prevailed on the streets Tuesday evening that Mr. Scals would sue out an attachment against the bank, but up to the hour of going to press there was no authentic news of it. Deputy Sheriff Tedford was in town on Friday last to serve attachment papers upon Charles Schindler in an action brought against him by Wm. Koenig in the sum of $2,000. Men are engaged in surveying the Bixby ranch on the Alamitos. The sheep men are preparing to leave, and no doubt exists as to the reliability of the report that Sprekleks has purchased a large tract of land there with the purpose of planting it to beets and putting up a sugar factory. Every two or three days the report comes up from the Santa Ana track that A.M. train, on which they departed for Los Angeles. They appeared before Judge Ross yesterday, and he doubtless ordered them deported. While standing on the corner at Dickel’s store Tuesday morning at 2 o’clock Night-watchman Adams had his attention attracted by the sound of some smashing glass, which seemed to come from the neighborhood of Luedke’s jewelry store. An investigation showed there was nothing wrong, and Tuesday no one could find any broken glass in the neighborhood. The question arises, Who broke that glass? S. S. Federman advertises this week that in consequence of his contemplated departure for Los Angeles, where he purposes going into business about the first of the year, he will close out his stock of goods at remarkably low prices, and from this time on will offer bargains without end in all lines of goods offered for sale in his store. Read the advertisement and call on Federman for bargains if you want them, for this is an opportunity seldom offered. The whole stock is going at prices regardless of cost. John Hartung had a brush with the burglars early Tuesday morning. He was awakened by the loud barking of his dog, and on going outside could discern the outlines of his horse trotting out of the yard. Seeing the barn door open, and supposing at once that his horse had been taken by the thieves who have been plying their vocation hereabouts for some time past, he ran out into the street and fired several shots after the intruders. The strangest thing about it all is that the horse came back shortly afterward, and now John doesn’t know whether he dropped one or more of the thieves or not. They will probably give him a wide berth in future anyway. Wommer & Halpin have made a contract with Man Wo to haul 130 carloads of celery from the Chinese gardens two and a half miles south of Westminster to the depot at Santa Ana. This is the celery raised by the Mongolians whose house was burned down on their advent into the Peat Land, and who were otherwise maltreated by a band of white men who would not raise the celery themselves. Four or five teams will be put on hauling the crop on Monday, and as the distance, which is something like eight miles, will permit of only a trip a day, the job will last probably three months. The celery is spoken of as being of very fine quality, and it is expected to bring a good price in the market. The store of Whitaker & Co. at Buena Park was entered by burglars early Wednesday morning last week. They blow the safe open and took all the money it contained, which, fortunately, was not a very large amount, being in the neighborhood of $25. It was considered a very clever piece of work, and was probably perceptibly exposed at the business. A lot of beet cheeks were scattered about by the explosion, but these were not taken. The report of the explosion was heard distinctly by several parties, but as no one suspected that safe crackers were about no notice was taken of it at this PERSONAL MELANGEN. Miss Jessie Melrose is visiting in Los geles, the guest of Miss Emmie Heiman George and Harry Whitaker came in Buena Park on Sunday a visit to the old foxes on Sunday on a visit to the old foxes on Buena Park one day last week on a business trip. Capt. S.O. Wood and wife were in during the week, and are at present in Anglesea. E.E.Keech Esq., the well-known Ana attorney, was in town yesterday short professional visit. Mr.J.B.Roa came up from San Diego Tuesday to remain a couple of weeks at Katella ranch below town. Judge Brouseau was down to attend meeting of Directors of the irrigation diu on Tuesday. Mrs.Josephine E. Butler of St. Park, Los Angeles, is visiting with Mrs Browning. Stanley Betts of Coronado, brother of Betts this place is here on a visit and remain for a few days. We are sorry to announce that Mr.H.Gosco is confined to his home while attack of protracted illness.

The social hop was much enjoyed and later a sumptuous repartaken of, after which the party did. A letter reads: "Mr. Frank Cobler, an old-time rea this section, was in town yesterday made a pleasant call at this office, started the first newspaper ever pr Santa Ana, the Times, which flourished its day years and years ago, but has long since crossed over the good other side. For some years past been engaged in bunching type for Angeles papers." The article discusses a report on bank operations involving the sale of capital stock and the impact on customer satisfaction. It details a case where a bank's books kept in proper shape, and there was no stock ledger second index of shares, which had been used when the stock called for. The bank found it difficult to value most important book in the form of business of a bank—the was absolutely wanting. He opined that the attorney of the Hiram Maybury's liability, and guarded that, even though he had referred his stock to his son, he less responsible to the depositing full amount of his subscription share of the remaining debts of him. The bank had kept no cap account and no dividend account. He said there were evidently sins as well as commission. He was a great deal yet for the do. Mr James had borrowed short while ago, and had given his property as security. This property as security. This committee had valued at $5,000 amount of the bank seemed to be a Come into my parlor, said the fly." [Laughter.] He said that according to the remarks was the best customer the Ho drew every day. He wanted to know how much been put in the bank since it replied that the committee did their statement shows there some checks and some money deinterrupting).It seems to me and no difference between checks if the checks were accepted. Tegger explained that the amount between the first and second closet be ascertained, on account of condition of the books. The been kept with as little labor as Running accounts had been and payments of overdrafts, in amounting to large amounts, had due depositors. The sum was thus augmented by the set-overdrafts. It was a very mild thing to say that the books were easy to shape. Discussion arose as to the propriety about the names of those charged crafts, but the motion to read them defeated. The list is in the committee, and may be seen byrons on application to them. An moved that the report of the loan the books be received and the discharged. He was debated pro and con, some visitors holding that the committee authentic news of it. —Deputy Sheriff Tedford was in town on Friday last to serve attachment papers upon Charles Schindler in an action brought against him by Wm.

Whether there be any truth in these reports or not, the horse is a wonderful fug, and is in the world-beating class, although two quarter-cracks in one of his hoofs gives his admirers some concern. —Two men drove up to Victor Browning a residence one evening last week, and one of them alighted and attempted to effect an entrance into the house. He was frightened away before getting in, however, and hastily making tracks for the cart which was left standing in the road outside, he and his pal drove rapidly away. They are supposed to be of the burglarious gang who have been operating hereabouts for some time past. —In the divorce case of Sarah A. Ross va Josiah Ross, Judge Towner last week granted the decree to the plaintiff last account of the cruelty of the defendant, and gave her the custody of the children. A survey of the defendant's property was ordered, so that it could be properly divided. All of the personal property, with the exception of one horse, was awarded to the plaintiff. —The races at the Santa Ana track begin next Tuesday, and Wednesday is the date of the tree for all pace, for a purse of $100, in which Silkwook, Diablo, Out Dick, N Wood, and Lady H are entered. This will be one of the greatest events of the year. The S. P. will run a special train at reduced rates on Wednesday and Friday (the date of free for all trot), leaving Los Angeles at 9:52 and 11:30 A.M. and returning after five races. —Alex. Henry has quit boring on his well, and will probably put in a gas engine to hoist the water. The seven-inch pipe was put down 501 feet, when it was found impossible to send it down further, and a six-inch pipe was put in and sent down 39 feet, making the well 540 feet deep. At 400 feet a stratum of large rocks was encountered, and these is feared, became packed about the pipe, making it impossible to send it down further. The well will be pierced and will no doubt yield large quantities of good water. —W.J.Hill's thresher is still at work in La Habra grain fields, where threshing will continue for a couple of weeks yet.

A thousand sacks of grain are threshed on an average everyday. —An Associated Press dispatch says that Charles Clapp, a Santa Ana cattle driver, was robbed while traveling in San Diego county buying cattle. He camped on Sunday night near Foster City. His money, amounting to $390, was in his coat, which store of Whitaker & Co.at Buena Park was entered by burglars early Wednesday morning last week. They blow the safe open and took all the money it contained, which, fortunately, was not a very large amount, being in the neighborhood of $25. It was considered a very clever piece of work, and was probably percepted by experts at the business. A lot of beet checks were scattered about by the explosion, but these were not taken. The report of the explosion was heard distinctly by several parties, but no one suspected that safe crackers were about, no notice was taken at it at the time, and burglarls had no difficulty in getting away. Two suspicious parties were seen about the store Tuesday afternoon and evening, and they were probably the chaps who committed the robbery. —Frank Littlefield entered into a bet with young Freiso the other day on Solly Smith-Dixon fight, the stipulation being that if Dixon won Frank was to be wheeled in a barrow up and down Center street during an afternoon when the sidewalk was crowded with people. As Solly wasn't in it, Frank was given his ride, amid the merriment of a large crowd of spectators. He also made a bet with young Goldthwaite on the fight, the agreement being that the loser should have two ridges clipped in his hair at right angles across the head and leave same for inspection by everybody for a period of two days. Frank hedged around and bet on Smith this time and lost, and submitted his ambrosial locks to desecration in Fran's barber shop immediately after his wheelbarrow ride. It is reported that when Frank's girl saw her hair cut she went back on him, and now he says he will never hedge again. —Mr.W.H.McGary of Garden Grove, one of the successful beet growers of that section, has perfected a beet topper which works splendidly, and for which he has applied for a patent. A sample of the implement has been made at Schaumann's blacksmith shop, and will be sent on to Washington with the patent application. It consists of a blade working on a curved base, so that it may be adjusted to the tips of beetts in row, and is shoved along with a long handle after the fashion of a lawn mower. Mr.McGary informs us that he can top as many beets as three or four men under the old method, and will take it over to Chuno to exhibit it there. He raised quite a patch of beetts this season, and from ten acres harvested 275 tons, portions of the patch going thirty tons per acre, and the saccharine was 16 per cent, or $5 10 per ton. Next year he will put in a larger acreage, and will save on expenses by using his new beet topper. —District Attorney Scarborough has prepared a tramp ordinance which will be brought before the Board of Supervisors for adoption. It provides for the working of vagrants upon public roads, streets or buildings during which time they will be given three square meals per day. Those who are sentenced and do not choose to work will be incarcerated in the County Jail and fed upon two meals of bread and water per day until such time as he may decide to obey the laws. The ordinance provides for those who are really in need and are willing to work, but it bears down upon the professional vag who traps from town to town, always hunting, but never wanting or doing any work. The ordinance is to take effect in fifteen days. —From a letter from L. Thorne of Los Anos Secretary of the District Agricultural Office.

An Associated Press dispatch says that Charles Clapp, a Santa Ana cattle driver, was robbed while traveling in San Diego county buying cattle. He camped on Sunday night near Foster City. His money, amounting to $390, was in his coat, which he used for a pillow. When he awoke in the morning his coat was gone. A search resulted in finding the garment thrown aside some thirty yards away, but so money was left. The coat had been slipped from under his head while he slept. Clapp was paid $250 by Bentz & Steadman in this city for cattle a week or so ago. Col. W. G. Schreiber of the Seventh Regiment, N. G. C., is about to issue orders to the commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the regiment to report once a week to be drilled and instructed by him so that a uniform mode of instruction may be introduced. It is understood that the purpose of the drill is to discover the weak points, if any, so that should any changes be necessary they may be made soon. Should it be decided to have the regiment go to the Midwinter Fair the best showing possible should be made by the Southern California boys. J. A. Montgomery, Secretary of the Rivera Walnut Growers' Association, has just returned from an extensive trip through the Eastern and Central States on official business. The association's crop is about half disposed of at 7½ cents for hard and 5¢ cents for soft shells, and it is yet about three weeks before the first delivery. Certain parties in Los Angeles who are working against the interests of the association have been circulating among the Rivera people, trying to buy walnuts at 5½ to 6 cents per pound, and making misleading statements in order to induce growers to sell. But the members of the association are standing firmly together and are more than ever impressed with the benefit of their organization. Two Chinamen, Sing Lee, a Tustin laundryman, and Ah Sam, a Santa Ana gardener, were arrested at Santa Ana early Tuesday morning by a Deputy United States Marshal and taken to Los Angeles to go before Judge Ross on a charge of violating the Geary Act by not registering within the time prescribed by law. Sing Lee has a bad reputation and his absence will not be mourned by his near neighbors. The United States Marshal came down Monday evening and surprised the Mongolians early Tuesday morning by stepping in on them before the sun had risen. The prisoners offered no resistance, but went peaceably along with the officer to the 7:45 buildings, during which time they will be given three square meals per day. Those who are sentenced and do not choose to work will be incarcerated in the County Jail and fed upon two meals of bread and water per day. If any refuse to work, and become obstreperous, the Sheriff is instructed to feed him but one meal of bread and water per day until such time as he may decide to obey the laws. The ordinance provides for those who are really in need and are willing to work, but it bears down upon the professional vag who traps from town to town, always hunting, but never wanting or doing any work. The ordinance is to take effect in fifteen days. From a letter from L. Thorne of Los Angeles, Secretary of the District Agricultural Association No. 6, we take the following extract: "You cannot praise our fair too highly, as we intend giving the best fair ever held in Southern California, or, we might say, in the State, judging from the entries we have received. I would call your attention to the fact that we have built a large pavilion at the park, so now our fair will be held at the park, in place of one-half there and the other half down in the city. The admission will be only 50 cents for the whole show. We are offering $20,000 in purses and premiums. Our races have from five to ten entries in each, and promise to be the best contested races of the year. An effort will be made to beat the world's record in both pacing and trotting. Sixty new stalls have been built to accommodate the increased entries in stock and cattle exhibits." Engineer No. 645, Engineer Dan Lightner, pulling the regular north-bound Rivera side express, Conductor Deyoe, was an object of some curiosity as it lay disabled on the sidetrack at the Santa Fe depot on Tuesday about noon. It had been in an accident over at Orange, and a special engine had to be sent from Los Angeles to bring it to town. A quarter of a mile other side of the bridge, while running along at a rapid rate, the right driving rod broke, demolishing the air pump, breaking a hole in the boiler, and emashing in the side of the cab. Engineer Lightner was thrown forward from his seat against the boiler, sustaining serious injuries about the head and hip. He applied the air brakes instantly, but it was not before the bridge was reached that the train was stopped. How the broken driving rod avoided coming up into the cab and killing the engineer, which is usually the result in accidents of this sort, is a mystery, and Lightner, though badly hurt, had a providential escape from a shocking death. A train hand went back to Orange and telegraphed an account of the accident to Los Angeles. Engineer Dibble came down with a special engine, and Engineer Lightner pulled the train into Los Angeles. The disabled engine was sidetracked here, and Engineer Dibble remained with it until the wrecking engine came over from San Bernardino and took it to the work shop at that point. It will take about a week to repair it.
