LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK A Demurrer to the Injunction Proceedings. The irrigation district seems to be getting along quite well despite the fact that there is no money in the treasury and so much opposition to it. The Directors met in regular session on Tuesday, when all members were present, seemingly expectant of the petition asking them to call an election to take the sense of the people on the disorganization of the district. The petition failed to appear, and when Judge Brouseau reported that he had put in a demurrer against the injunction to be argued before the Superior Court to-morrow, and it had been common talk that Judge Pope's complaint was defective, the board seemed to be in particularly good humor, and all agreed to be on hand to see how the thing would be decided when it made its appearance in court. Collector Witte reported the collection of $130.44 from taxes and other sources, and Treasurer Reisser reported cash on hand Nov. 6th, $2,211.70; paid out during month, $87.94; balance, $2,123.76. The latter in the suspended bank and hard to get at. There were outstanding warrants aggregating $964.20, leaving a net balance of $1,159.59. Judge Brouseau reported that he had seen M. Boisserao as to his moving off the Yorba reservoir site, and the latter had agreed to leave the matter to arbitration. M. Boisserao felt kindly toward the district. All his sheep corrals, residence and camp are situated on the reservoir site, but he was satisfied to leave the matter of the expense of moving to a committee of two, one to be selected by the district and the other by himself, and if the two are unable to agree then to choose a third to settle it. He is willing to get off the place before the winter rains set in. Hugh Bancroft appeared before the board in reference to securing the release of his home property at Orangesthorpe which had been doubly assessed and sold for delinquent taxes, leaving a cloud resting on the berries from his ranch, and the plants bid fair to bear throughout the winter. Dick Murray has left the Park for Fairview. "We shall meet but we shall miss him." The "Country Club" were entertained by Mrs. A. W. Whitaker last Friday evening in honor of Tom Dearing. Miss Edythe Young went to San Bernardino Saturday to attend the Y. P. S. C. E. convention. The Y. P. S. C. E. met at Mrs. D. Young's last week. Business was transacted, election of officers, etc., followed by a programme of music. The principal feature of the Society this winter will be sociability. There are many strangers among us and they will find a warm welcome from this Society. The Reading Room is about to open its doors again and feasible plans will be arranged by which all of the leading magazines will be found in this room, and families can also take them to their homes to read. Additions are to be added to the books of the library very soon. Everybody interested in this good work can talk with George Caldwell, the station agent, or Harry Whitaker, at Whitaker & Co.'s store. We understand there is no inconsiderable indignation over the attempt of a few of the citizens of Buena Park to obtain a few feet more land from their avenue from the county without any consideration. We trust our Supervisors will protect the interests of our county as well as those of the particularly interested citizens of Buena Park. TO THE COUNTY JAIL HERR GROSSMAN THRESHES HIS WIFE AND RUNS AFOUL OF A SNAG. Herr Carl Grossman will spend Christmas and New Years in the County Jail. He was taken there last Friday by a course of curious circumstances. He had acquired the bad habit of going home full, and would amuse himself at such times with threshing his wife—who is rather a prepossessing matron—and her cries would attract the attention of the neighbors for many doors away. Last Thursday afternoon he took it into his head to practice up a bit in the art of threshing her, and after acquiring a jag down town, went home and proceeded to beat her to his heart's content. He desisted at last, and running out of the house, she came down town and notified Marshal Steadman of the state of affairs. He went home with her and although early in the evening, found Grossman in the act of undressing preparatory to retiring for the night. As soon as Grossman saw his wife, he seized one of his shoes, and before Steadman could interfere to protect her, he dealt her a stinging blow in the face, meanwhile applying the vilest epithesis to her. Steadman seized him and marched him off to jail, where he languished over night. As soon as the brute was looked up he sent word to his wife that she should come to see him. This she refused to do, and his two little boys went over to the jail to see what he wanted. He sent back with them a message to his wife threatening her uncle. THE WATER COMPANY THE ANTI-DISTRICT RESOLUTION BLED IN FEBRUARY, LIES MANT NINE MONTHS THEN TO LIFE AGAIN—MR. EXECUTES A FLOP. The Directors of the water company regular session on Saturday. It was disagreeable day of the year—the howled a gale outside, yet every was in his seat—something that had opened in nine months. Why the floor was present was illustrated further on the anti-district resolution, tabled lauray was, Mr. Zeyn having in time deserted his side and gone out the camp of the enemy, called up and to the disgust of the district support. Directors Amerigo and Rust of the mittee to interview Mr. Benchley change in the ditch running three place, reported that they had met the tleman and had viewed the landscape and recommended that the ditch be covered, Mr. Benchley to start greater portion of the expense. Completed, to ascertain what Mr. Be would stand. Mr. Amerigo reported that he had advised the engineer's draft of the La Habra voir and had forwarded the same headquarters of the Stearns Ranchos Francisco. He thought the site secured at a low figure—probably $400—a but he had not received word from the company as to the price. Continue. Secretary Garwood reported total during the month of November amount to $1,711 28; paid Treasurer, $1,515 balance 173 28. The following new had been issued in lieu of old ones cance J.P. Zeyn, $5,000; Mrs. Metz, $1,500; J.Rinker, $300; Jos Holm, $1,500; G.Hattold, $500; Mrs.A.S.Browning 700; Richard Krebs, $1,000; Mrs.Werner, $2,530; Mrs.E.Bitner, $2,890; Henry Holate, $500; John T.Holmes, $500; Mrs.P.Ruff, $700; C.Hensler, $500; S.Koll, $4,048; Mrs.R.Bishop, $1,200. The following now notes were issued Holate, $200; Mrs.Werner, $900; Mrs.Bishop, $100. Treasurer Cahen reported on handcember 1st,$884 15. Superintendent Groat reported that had interviewed David Yorba about Cota and Rivas tracats, and had been owed $250 for the same for the coming year; he carried on the work of cleaning the Treservoir and though it had been hard on count of the water coming to the sun thought it would be all right by Most the expense account for the month $603 05, of which about $190 had been pended on cleaning the reservoir. The board decided to accept Mr.Yorba proposition; and instructed The Superintendent Groat report that had interviewed David Yorba about Cota and Rivas tracats, and had been owed $250 for the same for the coming year; he carried on the work of cleaning the Treservoir and though it had been hard on count of the water coming to the sun thought it would be all right by Most Toorah reservoir site, and the latter had agreed to leave the matter to arbitration. M. Bolsserano felt kindly toward the district. All his sheep corrals, residence and camp are situated on the reservoir site, but he was satisfied to leave the matter of the expense of moving to a committee of two, one to be selected by the district and the other by himself, and if the two are unable to agree then to choose a third to settle it. He is willing to get off the place before the winter rains set in. Hugh Bancroft appeared before the board in reference to securing the release of his home property at Orangesthorpe which had been doubly assessed and sold for delinquent taxes, leaving a cloud resting on the title. The board voted to issue a duplicate receipt which will be recorded and the cloud removed. Judge Brousean reported further that the writ of review brought by the opponents of the district had been quashed and the proceedings thrown out of court. He had been served with the injunction papers and had filed a demurrer to them. The Judge remarked, in answer to several questions as to the nature of his demurrer, that the injunction is issued against the Board of Directors and their agents, servants and employees, and that his contention will be that they have nothing to do with the collection of taxes, that matter being entirely in the hands of the Collector, who is not an agent, employee or servant of the board. The Supreme Court has decided that the Collector is a separate State officer and is alone responsible for the collection of taxes. The injunction papers were in his opinion, consequently, defective, and while the Judge could not say what Judge Towner's decision would be, he was very confident his demurrer would get in its deadly work again. As to the future of the legal fight against the district it would be time enough to talk about that when the time comes. He hoped to see as many of the board present in court to morrow as possible to see that their attorney did his duty. He explained at length the nature of the fight against the district, saying that the first case was Crowther and others vs. the district, the writ of review was Botford and others vs. the district, and the injunction was Ryan and others vs. the district. The plaintiffs, however, were all the same. He had been approached by several parties in Los Angeles who favored the district and would do what they could help it along. He had nothing new to report from the Harrises, but was preparing as rapidly as possible for the confirmation proceedings. Mr. Staley inquired whether those asking an injunction had put up a bond. The Judge said he was not informed whether they had or not, but if they had not of course the injunction was void. The court, he said, would fix the amount of the bond. Mr. Stadtegger said he wished the antis could be made to put up a bond to cover all possible losses so that if the taxes were not collected, and the amount was required to pay interest on the bonds, the antis would be made to pay the same and the taxpayers thus make the escape from taxation. A representative of the California Abstract and Guaranty Company, of Los Angeles, was present and asked payment of his bill of $240 for abstracting. The bill had been presented two months and a half ago, and two months ago Mr. Reiser had promised to get him the money. It seemed, however, that the Treasurer of the district was just as far from paying the bill now as he was then. The abstract company did not feel like beginning suit against the district, but would be compelled to do so if the money could be secured no other way. After consultation and discussion the board decided to send a letter to each one of Mr. Reiser's bondmen, which should be in the nature of an ultimatum, notify them to come forward and supply the definite in the treasury or suit would be begun against them.

Agreed to, and the Secretary read the same, as follows: WHEREAS, The Board of Directors of Anaheim Union Water Company did her fore enter into a written agreement to pay all the water rights and property of company to the district for the sum of $100; and WHEREAS, One of the conditions of this agreement was that said district should pay $100,000 in developing water and menting ditches before acquiring part of this company, the intention of this company, the condition being to give to the stockholder of this company a reasonable assurance that their crops and trees would not suffer loss if lack of water which would necessarily low from the distribution of this company water supply over a larger area than present irrigable; and WHEREAS, The district has failed to comply with terms and conditions of an agreement in all respects within the stated in said agreement, and said agreement being null and void; and WHEREAS, The said district still desired to acquire property and water rights this company; and WHEREAS It would be glaringly unjustified by a guarantee that at least $100,000 shall be expended in cementing the company's ditches, building reservoirs or some other practical way developing water before this company conveys its water rights or property, and that said water rights or property shall not be sold for less than $200,000. The resolution had been introduced at February meeting by Mr. Botford, and Mr Keilogg moved to lay it on the table. This was carried by the votes of McFadden, Keilogg, Rust and Zoyn, all in favor of the directrix against Botsford, Tuffree and America all against the district.

THE ANTI-DISTRICT RESOLUTION, TABLED IN FEBRUARY, LIES DORMANT NINE MONTHS THEN COMES TO LIFE AGAIN—MR. ZEYN EXECUTES A FLOP. The Directors of the water company met in solar session on Saturday. It was the most agreeable day of the year—the wind bleared a gale outside, yet every member in his seat—something that had not hapened in nine months. Why the full board present was illustrated further on, when anti-district resolution, tabled last February was, Mr. Zeyn having in the meantime deserted his side and gone over into camp of the enemy, called up and carried, the disgust of the district supporters.

The creditors of late James E.Nugent，who has departed this life for Arizona，“where there is no snow，”are cided to appear before Judge Towner in the Superior Court at 9:30 o'clock this morning to prove their debts and choose an assignee of the estate of the dead.

Capt.Wrede writes，on board the North German Lloyd steamer "Salsal,"Nrv.27th，that he expected to get into New York next day,and by this time he is probably on his way overlaud to California.Evotes that he brings with him an imposted case—rheumatism. Company G at its parade last Thursday appeared to better advantage than ever before.The boys marched with more precision and were better soldiers than at any time since the formation of the company.All of which should be a very great feather in Capt.Halpin's hat. Mr.J.B.Neff，whose place below town will one day be one of the finest in the land，is preparing to put out a walnut orchard of forty acres,and will put in a pumping plant to supply water for irrigation.Mr.Neff is in the hardware business in San Francisco,and was a visitor here a couple of weeks ago.

Mr.Garwood,the Secretary of The Anaheim Reading Room was charging around other day in manner such as we would not expect a deacon to charge;when we asked him about his trouble,his said one had been playing tricks on reading room.it Was first that we had heard of it and inquired further."Some one has sent us Sorbner's Magazine,the label marked paid to Nov.1894,and now comes the Review of Reviews，paid to Oct.1894,and we can't find out who did it." We talked with him and quieted his nerves;but he desires to express thanks to the Board Of Directors of this valuable donation. Frank Scott,the young son of W.W.Soott，who lives east of town，had his misfortune to sustain quite a serious wound while out hunting with a couple of companions on Thanksgiving Day.他 was about to shoot at a hawk，when the barrel of his gun burst，shattering the left thumb and forelinger.His brought to town and treated by Dr.Perdomo.At first it was thought tha umb would have to be amputated，但 this was found to be unnecessary,and she wound stitched up after which youth was taken home，where he has since been getting along as well could be expected. When she farmers below town put in their sugar beets last season there were patches here and there where she seed failed come up either because there was not sufficient moisture to cause she seed to sprout or because of improper planting.它 was thought by some that she beets would too poor or because farmer did not seed right，但 since recent rains seeds have begun to sprout,and she young beets are as thick as they can possibly stand.Its heretothefore been demonstrated that sugar beets can be grown and matured here year round where she sufficient moisture to sproutthe seed at time of planting.这 is big advantage over most sugar best growing countries,and then fact we raise richest beets in soaccharine makes this ideal sugar producing section.

It is reported that Judge Montgomery, who is associated with Judge Pope as counsel against the district, has given his opinion that the complaint in the injunction proceedings to be heard by Judge Towmer to-morrow is defective and cannot stand. If Judge Towner should sustain the demurrer, the case will be the third consecutive victory of Judge Broussau over Judge Pope. The demurrer to the complaint in the case of the county of Orange va. the county of Los Angeles, an action to recover money alleged to be due as plaintiff's proportion of the amount refunded by the State for indigent claims, has been sustained by the Superior Judge of Ventura county, in whose court the case is pending. This is first blood for Los Angeles. The various Grand Jury committees have completed the work assigned them and on Monday the Jury went into session with the investigation of the causes for the collapse of the Bank of Anaheim. Several witnesses were examined, including Meers, James, Bartlett, Horr and Alex Wright, who experted the books. It will probably be a week or two before the Jury make their report. "The Santa Ana" which started up some days ago and has continued with slight intermission up to the present writing, Wednesday afternoon, is the most disagreeable one of the season. A number of brush fires have been burning in the foothills and elsewhere, making the weather particularly disagreeable. This is enough of the wind, Mr. Weather Clerk, thanks; give us some rain. J. A. Hankey of Santa Ana has invented a nickel-in-the-slot peanut machine which gives promise of becoming a money-maker for its patentee. Its mechanism is similar to the numerous other nickel-in-the-slot machines, and a nickel dropped into the slot results in the handing out of an large-sized bag of hot-roasted, double-jointed California peanuts right out of the hopper. The new invention is now on exhibition at Santa Ana, and the price of peanuts is on the rise steadily. We are informed that no more stock will be taken in the sugar factory after January 2d next. After that date the books will be finally closed and no more stock will be offered. Eight hundred and twenty acres out of the additional thousand recently opened Mrs. Bannero came to Anahiem many years ago, being among the first of the settlers to locate at Orangethorpe, and her kindly manner and sweet retiring disposition and domestic habit made her many warm friends among our population, to whom she news of her untimely and sorrowful death comes as the tidings of a great and irreparable loss. Her daughter, whom much was so confidently expected, passed away but a few weeks ago, and the loss had its effect in this second death in the stricken family. May we hope that they have met again in a better world and that their rest will be an eternal summer of celestial peace. The body of Chris Lassen, who had resided here for some years past, was found in an advanced stage of decomposition by some hunters in the quaternies a mile and a half west of Fullerton last Monday morning. By the side of the body lay a bottle of strychnine half empty, which told the story of the death. Lassen had not been seen for two weeks, and it was feared by his friends that he had destroyed himself, as when last seen he had been drinking and avowed his purpose of committing suicide. He boarded with Mrs. Dierksen, and on the morning of his disappearance was called for breakfast and replied that he would be down in a few minutes. He disappeared and had not been seen or heard of since that time. He was a German single, aged about 29 years, and has a brother living in Plaezonia. The Coroner held an inquest in the afternoon and the jury rendered a verdict that death was caused by strychnine administered with suicidal intent. The remains were brought to Backa' undertaking rooms, where they were found to be almost past recognition. The interment took place Tuesday morning. Three tramps were exiled to Santa Ana by 'Squire Landell on Tuesday: The trio stood up a citizen on Palm street and demanded a dollar. This was given them, after which they began quarreling and proceeded to fight. Marshal Steadman was called and went down to investigate. One of the tramps squared off, when Steadman sent him to grass and finally had to bring him to town for repairs. The three were brought up town in a wagon and when at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets two of them jumped from the vehicle and made a dash for liberty. One ran down Los Angeles street, and the other ran into Caden's back yard, jumped from fence and came in the rear door of this office, running through the press-room, composing room, editorial and reportorial rooms and business office. He emerged on Center street and was nabbed by Constable Landell. The other fellow was nabbed by McWilliams and Porter after a lively chase. Tramps have been unusually troublesome of late, and so these three were exiled across the river for ten days.
