The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... JANUARY 25, 1894 TEN PAGES, WITH SUPPLEMENT In the case of Ryan and others against the Anaheim Irrigation District and its Collector the Superior Court on last Thursday decided the motions and demurrer which had been argued and submitted to it. One of the motions was made by the plaintiffs for a temporary injunction to issue upon the complaint, and the other motion was made by the defendants to strike from the complaint certain redundant matter. The dammer was made by the defendants to the sufficiency of the complaint, upon the ground principally that if the plaintiffs had any remedy it was not by an injunction, but by a suit at law. The court granted the motion to strike from the complaint the redundant matter and overruled the demurrer to the complaint, ordering a temporary injunction to issue pending the final determination of the case on its merits, the injunction not to restrain the publication of the delinquent list, but to delay the sales of delinquent property of the plaintiffs. The injunction was granted upon the ground that if there were no bonds outstanding, as stated in the complaint, then the Collector should be restrained from collecting taxes of the plaintiffs. The question as to the legality of the tax was not decided. The only question decided was, assuming that the complaint was correct in stating that there was no valid sale of the bonds of the district, then the taxes should not have been levied to pay the interest on those bonds. The question as to whether there was a valid sale of the bonds to N. W. Harris & Co. has yet to be tried and determined. After the announcement of the opinion by the court plaintiffs' counsel asked leave to amend the complaint. It would seem from such request that plaintiffs counsel considered his complaint insufficient notwithstanding the decision of the court. Under the rules the court gave the defendants ten days within which to answer the complaint on its merits, after which the case on its merits will be tried; and if the court shall finally determine that there was a valid sale of the bonds to N. W. Harris & Co. With the consummation of the important railroad changes now in contemplation hereabout, this city is destined to play no little part in the railroad map. Years ago, when the Southern Pacific extended its road to Anaheim, it desired to coin in on Palm street, but failed to secure the right of way. Now it appears that it will come into town by way of Santa Ana street and establish a commodious freight and passenger depot at the corner of Santa Ana and Los Angeles streets. Either the main line from this point to Miraflores will be abandoned and the tracks taken up, or the Tustin branch from the semiphore to Miraflores will be torn up. In either case the road will enter the city by Santa Ana street on the east. Probably the former will be the change, it having been suggested by the Chief Engineer of the road who went over the ground on Monday. In this event, all trains to Santa Ana will pass within a few blocks of the center of this city, as will also the Tustin trains. From the west end of Santa Ana street the road will swing away direct to the sugar refinery, with branches to Garden Grove and Westminster, and will connect with the sea, probably at Long Beach. This will give the Southern Pacific a "kite-shaped" track from Los Angeles to Anaheim, and then to the sugar house and through to Long Beach back to Los Angeles. It is also known that the Southern Pacific people are desirous of tapping the rich Placentia neighborhood, running out by Leonard Parker's place, and connecting with its lines at Chino. The enormous amount of freight handled on this route should prove sufficient incentive to the speedy construction of the line. What with the immense crop of oranges and walnuts at Placentia, and the barley crop of La Habra, to say nothing of the beet shipments from here to Chino, the road holds out inducements that are second to those of no locality in Southern California. When the railroad surveyors reach here, now in a day or two, this road should be brought to their notice, and the proposition put under way. We have no hesitancy in saying that if rights of way were furnished the railroad by time the track-layers get to work on the new lines, the road to Placentia will prove to be a positive actuality, and that the rails will be put down within a few weeks thereafter. Placentia needs railroad communication with this city. Now is time for its entertaining people to get together and show the railroad company itsulent possibilities. WESTMINSTER LETTER. There were many sentiments in last week's Gazette that found ready endorsement in Westminster, notably those anent the Grand Jury and the indictment of Judge Freeman. The former is a public imposition; the latter is worthy from head to foot of the eulogy bestowed on him. Public opinion seems to be split up regarding the acquittal of Plez James for embezzlement. Personally I lean to the opinion that the embroilment of the bank's affairs was the result of lack of judgment, and not of premeditated swindling. To an educated, sensitive man like Mr. James his own feelings through all his recent situation must have been almost sufficient punishment, even supposing him to be guilty of the charge preferred against him. Then again he can plead the plea of a celebrated character in Dickens' "Oliver Twist,"—"I am an old man, my lord; an old man." Fagin swung for it, all the same, but no one would suggest, "Erills are wrought from want of thought, as well as from want of heart." as an appropriate epitaph on Fagin's grave. The friends of Mr. James in Westminster, mindful of many a favor done them at his hands in other days, congratulate him on his acquittal. It is difficult, if not impossible, to get the wholesale endorsement of a community as to every sentiment expressed in an eight-column newspaper. I know a lady who is hardly in touch with the wish, or prayer, of THE GAZKTEZ that she teamster who knocked over a bicyoliat in Anaheim because she drove his team over a favorite dog would be caught and brought to justice. The lady in question recently had a very narrow escape from what might have been a serious, if not a fatal accident. She was driving a spirited horse between Westminster and Santa Ana when an ubiquitous wheelman hove in sight. She shouted, she held up her hands, she screamed but she heartless wheel came on. Her horse reared and plunged and kicked, and stillthe wheel rolled on, until it reached the very side of the terrified horse and its half-unconscious car. Almost too late he lent a hand in quieting the frightened animal and soothing his more frightened owner. I can hardly find words to condemn such heartless conduct. It was inhumanity pure and simple, and worthy only of the vilest and most deprived of hoodlums. My lady friend is strongly of the opinion that that dog (if his tax paid) had as good a right on the streets of Anaheim as a bicyoliat, and that a slight divergence of the driving-wheel would have averted the collision. It seems to me and to the great majority of colt-drivers that when a bicyolist sees a horse becoming unmanageable at sight of a man or a monkey on a wheel he should at once dismount and laying down his bicycle, render every assistance in his power. Only a few weeks ago Mr. Sitton of Orange was killed on the spot owing to a bicyole rushing past his team. I know a man in Westminster, or near it, who carries a re- interest on those bonds. The question as to whether there was a valid sale of the bonds to N. W. Harris & Co. has yet to be tried and determined. After the announcement of the opinion by the court plaintiffs' counsel asked leave to amend the complaint. It would seem from such request that plaintiffs' counsel considered his complaint insufficient notwithstanding the decision of the court. Under the rules the court gave the defendants ten days within which to answer the complaint on its merits, after which the case on its merits will be tried; and if the court shall finally determine that there was a valid sale of the bonds to N. W. Harris & Co. then the preliminary injunction must be dissolved and the taxes levied by the Board of Directors last October must be collected. It, however, the Superior Court shall finally determine that the injunction shall be made perpetual, upon the ground that the bonds were not legally sold, then the question may be presented to the Supreme Court for decision. If the question be there decided that the bonds were not legally sold the Board of Directors must then make a re-sale of the bonds, and make a new levy for the purpose of meeting the interest on the bonds after their sale. If, however, the Supreme Court reverses the decision of the Superior Court the Tax Collector must, under the law, enforce collection of the taxes already levied. All these proceedings necessarily delay the work of the district in acquiring water rights and property for the purpose of distributing water over the lands of the district; and are necessarily a prejudice to the people of the district. It is another illustration of the fact that the will of the people may sometimes be defeated by a few, who, for the purpose of private gain, take advantage of the necessities of the people. The law under which the district was formed and the Board of Directors is acting was designed to prevent the ownership and control of waters for domestic and irrigation purposes by a few persons to the prejudice of the people. It would clearly appear, from the history of the proceedings instituted by the plaintiffs in the case, and the two other cases already disposed of, that it was their design as syndicate to deprive the people of the district of the ownership and use of the water, and to control the same for their own profit. This design the officers of the district are seeking to defeat by the performance of their duty, and endeavoring to protect the rights of the people of the district. It is to be hoped that the officers of the district will have sufficient authority under the law to protect the district from the speculative designs of the plaintiffs' syndicate. It is to be said to the credit of the orange growers of Anaheim and those who will ship from Brookshurst that they have secured the most skillful packers to prepare their fruit for the market. The matter of packing is, next to the cardinal point of doing away with possible cluts in the Eastern markets, probably the most important that confronts the orchardists at this time. To growers out of the association it makes but little difference—their oranges will not be When the railroad surveyors reach here, now in a day or two, this road should be brought to their notice, and the proposition put under way. We have no hesitancy in saying that if rights of way were furnished the railroad by the time the track-layers get to work on the new lines, the road to Placontia will prove to be a positive actuality, and that the rails will be put down within a few weeks thereafter. Placontia needs railroad communication with this city. Now is the time for its enterprising people to get together and show the railroad company its opulent possibilities of a railway through its section. Meanwhile the Santa Fe are spying out land for their branch to the refinery. We are informed that some days ago a corps of their surveyors ran a line on North street from their track on Orange street west toward the sugar house. Our people are equally favorably disposed to the Santa Fe, and will lend them all the aid and encouragement in extending their road to the refinery. It looks as though we shall see an important move in railroad building all along line hereabouts shortly. The spectacle of the Governor of Georgia chasing through the woods and the Governor of Florida calling out the militia, at great expense to the taxpayers, for the purpose of stopping the Corbett-Mitchell argument, is proposterously funny. Let them fall on each other's necks, and say one unto other as did the Governor of North Carolina to the Governor of South Carolina—and let she fight go on. We should like to see Corbett get as at blooming Britishiser and take him through a course of sprouts. THE WATER QUESTION. Mr. Editor: I rock the cradle, and my thoughts wander. Bright prospects and better times appear before my vision, for the cradle holds the fame of Anaheim—the future President of the United States. My wife is out for a masquerade costume. Her big brother decided that she should enjoy herself while her faculties are able to comprehend amusement. He will foot the bill. Happy fellow! He's got the cash. It jingles in his pocket when he moves. But he's no stockholder in the A. U. W. Co. I am. I can vote for a change in the by-laws, which will rob me of the last control a stockholder has left in the company. I can vote for directors, who will draw every dollar from me by their assessments—that's what they are directors for. But for who will I vote? On the North Side McFadden, Crowther, Bolsford, Amerige and W. Smith, on the South Side Kellogg, Spencer, Zeyn and Nebelung are candidates. It is said Growther, Botsford, Amerige and Smith hold enough proxies to elect themselves, and what they can spare will go for the friend of the Fullerton candidate—Spencer of Anaheim. Why do they work for the election of Spencer? This will make me shy of Spencer. I will vote for none who got up that fine scheme to rob the poor stockholder of the control of 5,000 shares of stock. Neither can I vote for that Anaheim candidate who forgotthe premises he gave before election was atthe When it was in humanity pure and simple, and worthy only of the vileest and most depraved of hoodlums. My lady friend is strongly of the opinion that dog (if his tax was paid) had as good a right onthe streets of Anaheim as the bicycle, and that a slight divergence ofthe driving-wheel would have avertedthe collision.

It is to be said to the credit of the orange growers of Anaheim and those who will ship from Brookshurst that they have secured the most skillful packers to prepare their fruit for the market. The matter of packing is, next to the cardinal point of doing away with possible gluts in the Eastern markets, probably the most important that confronts the orchardists at this time. To growers out of the association it makes but little difference—their oranges will not be shipped as Anaheim oranges any way. As in the past, the commission men will ship their bright, fruit—the fancy to choice brands—as Riverside oranges, and the seconds will go out as the local product. This is what has kept our orange groves under a cloud, so to speak, in the Eastern and California markets. The association proposes to change this, and all our fruit will be known as coming from the locality growing it. Thus will we receive the credit for our fancy grades of fruit, which will compare, we have no hesitancy in saying, with any grown anywhere. This matter of packing is consequently among the most vital points affecting us. If we ship fancy to choice brands cleverly packed, that will settle us so far as next year's shipments are concerned. We want to send out our fruit neatly and properly packed—we must do this if we expect to continue in the business and come into competition with Riverside and the other first-class orange growing sections of the citrus belt. So we say the local orchardists are to be congratulated on securing the services of admitted the best force of packers in Southern California. There is no reason why our oranges should not bring the top-notch market price. With bright fruit neatly packed, and guaranteed free from frost, we ought to get pretty well up to the head of the orange growers' procession. When the first carload of our celebrated frostless Orange county fruit goes forth from Brookshurst next week, let our growers hail the dawn of their deliverance from the rapacious commission men, who have trafficked upon their credulity in the past, but whose name hereabouts is to be practically mud henceforth and forever. Now that the Democrats of the House have done what they could to cripple the sugar industry by repealing the bounty on domestic sugar it remains to be seen what their political brethren in the Senate will do. The entire people of Southern California hope and expect to see Senator White on the right side of the question, which possesses—that's what they are directors for. But for who will I vote? On the North Side McFadden, Crowther, Botsford, Amerige and W. Smith, on the South Side Kellogg, Spencer, Zeyn and Nebelung are candidates. It is said Growther, Botsford, Amerige and Smith hold enough proxies to elect themselves, and what they can spare will go for the friend of the Fullerton candidate—Spencer of Anaheim. Why do they work for the election of Spencer? This will make me shy of Spencer. I will vote for none who got up that fine scheme to rob the poor stockholder of the control of the 5,000 shares of stock. Neither can I vote for that Anaheim candidate) who forgot the promises he gave before election just at the right time. Max, if you are a pater familiar and have babies at home, and do the square thing, you will get the lion's share of my vote, and if you need all for election you're welcome to them. By the way, could not this great body of men, instead of scheming for their personal benefit, produce something much needed and talked about for years—a change of time for holding annual elections? Would not October be the best month, and correspond better to the business of the company? That is about the close of the irrigation season. The new directors have then whole winter before them, and could adjust expense and income, which they always forget to do the way we have it now. The directors might ascertain the views of stockholders on this election, and if approved, could call a special meeting. Now that Benchley ditch affair, I suspect will cause trouble. Mr. Benchley has paid his money to Bob to look over us, but not to rule over us. Bob could not sell that to him. That open ditch is an eyesore to Mr. Benchley, but so are all the ditches to every stockholder. The company or its directors surely should not object to Mr. Benchley piping the ditch; but for the company to do it only for Mr. Benchley's benefit, will never do. It might cause trouble, and probably require another superintendent to watch that pipe. If it should choke up with weeds, etc., and thereby flood Mr. Benchley's land, would be not in double quick time come in for damages; and if Mr. Benchley plains in that ditch, there is a lawsuit with a glorious prospect of an assessment. That two-bit New Year's greeting of the Directors scared my poor wife so that her laetale fluid gave out, and since then I have to get baby food from Higgins. This is the reason the S.P.R. want to move their depot more to the center of the city; it will save dragyage. Now if Benchley caused another assessment I know it will be the death of my hope, the apple of my eye, the future president of the United States. And some of my dearly beloved California Venuses different ages and colors—how can I nourish and clothe them when the A.U.W.Co swallows up everything I can get, except that mortgage on my land. My credit is running low. Higgins says cash for baby food; G.Davis and Lyons same for groceries, and Federman and Rimpau for dry goods; so, Mr.Benchley, please don't act rashly. Consider in what predicament you might put innocent but unfortunate stockholders, and not for your own gratification of fancies ruin their hopes and prospects for the future. BREACH OF PROMISE. FRESNO, January 22. —A sensational suit for breach of promise was filed in the Superior Court here-to-day, which names as defendant Frank H.Ball, one of the most widely known and wealthiest vineyardists of Fresno County. Mrs.Eva S.Myrick,a young widow of this city,who formerly lived in Sacramento,has asked that the court give her the sum of $20,000 as damages for a wasted love,the wealthy and handsome vineyardist,sas she says,failed to cherish as he promised. The suit was much of a surprise to the defendant,and the first that he knew of it or that it was coming.was when the papers were served upon him this afternoon.The complaint on file gives extracts from letters which the defendant wrote to Mrs.Myrick,and many others of a most sensual sort are promised.Mr.Ball has been a widower for nearly three years. The engagement between them is alleged to have taken place in May,1892,and all went smoothly for several monthswhen something ruffledthe seaof promise,and Mrs.Myrick demanded thatthe marriage take place according to promise. This disturbance is said to have been caused bythe discoverybythe fair plaintiff that her affronted was paying courtto another lady,and that his love toward her was growing cold.

A special from the City of Mexico brings this interesting information: A movement is on foot in Mexico to annex a portion of what is commonly considered to be Southern California to this republic. It is claimed that the relinquishment of the California archipelago of the coast of Southern California has never been made either by Spain or Mexico to the United States and that the islands composing it are very properly Mexican soil. The three islands to which claim is made in particular are those of Santa Catalina, Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz. A committee has been appointed at the instigation of the Geographical and Statistical Association of Mexico to push the claims of the republic to the possession of these islands. The members of the committee are Senores Angel M. Dominguez, Trinidad Sanchez Santos and Isadoro Espain. The claim is made that on the transfer of California to the United States these islands were not included. No clause in the transfer, it is held, can be found having reference to them, and the same will hold if search of the records be made by which the State of California in turn defined its limits and general regulations. The most diligent investigation fails to show that California has the slightest claim to these islands except that they are adjacent to the coast and naturally tributary to that State. The islands lay off the coast from fifteen to thirty or forty miles, and are considerable in their extent, as well as being quite productive. The settlers hold their possessions by rule of squattors' rights, and have come from the adjacent coast. They pay no tribute to either the United States or Mexico, so far as is known here, and have other advantages and disadvantages of residence in "no man's land." Mexico will now step in and ask if there be any reason why the flag of the south should not float over the islands, and their inhabitants be under their rule and pay tribute to this republic. The committee is already at work making its preparation for laying claim to the archipelago for the purpose of annexing the islands to Mexico. It is not known what course will be pursued, but the plans as outlined will begin with reference to the treaties of 1819 and 1848, as well as the general delimitation agreement in effect. The Mexican government has not as yet given official expression as to its course in the matter, but if the claim proves correct on fuler investigation the government will probably lay the matter before the government of the United States and ask that Mexico be given peaceable possession of the islands.

We take the following extract from Representative Bowers’ speech on the abolition of the sugar bounty: “五 years ago this last autumn I drove across the Chino plains. Midway across there were a dozen cheap wooden houses in a cluster, all but two or three of them vacant. They were a fragment, a reminiscence, of the real estate boom that had suddenly dropped down on the plain one day and as suddenly departed the next. A few cattle were grazing, some buzzards were lazily floating in the air, and these were all the signs of life visible, and over all roasted the primeval scene of the plains. “One year ago last October I was on my way to Chino again. On the cars conversation had turned to the sugar-beet industry, and I noticed that a strong young fellow was much interested. At last, turning to me, he said: ‘I want to tell you what I have done this last season. I had last winter a span of bronzes that coat me about $75, and an old wagon and harness worth $25. That is all I had to begin with. I went to Chino and hired some land and went to work. I just finished the other day and all my beets were sold to the Chino factory, and I have cleared on my work for less than a year a little over $1000; and have got the money.’ As I have said, I was on my way to Chino again. The other time I had found the little cluster of vacant houses. Now I saw that a great change had taken place. A factory had been built on the plain, and from an elevated platform on one side of this factory I surveyed the scene. On every side stretched cultivated fields and hundreds of busy men and women were at work in them. From every direction loaded teams were coming, and these deposited in great bins 400 tons of beets each day. Going to the other side of the mill I found a long train of freight cars being loaded with white sugar, of which that factory turned out this year 15,000,000 pounds. The hum of industry, the sounds of the busy mill and the laughter of workers in the field were borne on every breeze. In the evening I met in a fine, specious hall 500 intelligent, bright, cheerful people, American farmers and workmen.” A last effort is being made to save the neck of murderer McNulty, sentenced to be hanged tomorrow. Tuesday morning W.H.L. Barnes and Mayor Ellert left San Francisco for Sacramento for the purpose of making a report to Governor Markham for the reprieve of McNulty’s sentence. It is claimed that now witnesses have been found that will change the case materially in McNulty’s favor. Governor Markham was seen Monday night, and asked if there was anything now to be said regarding the McNulty case. He was very guarded in his reply, but said he had not granted the prayer of the politicians for a commutation of sentence. He said he had listened very attentively to all the arguments advanced by those who had called upon him in the interest of the condemned man, but said that they had said nothing that would warrant the belief that the great majority of colt when a bicyolist sees a horse manageable at the sight of a key on a wheel he should be at attention and laying down his bit every assistance in his power. keeps ago Mr. Sitton of Orange this team.

The other time I had found the little cluster of vacant houses. Now I saw that a great change had taken place. A factory had been built on the plain, and from an elevated platform on one side of this factory I surveyed the scene. On every side stretched cultivated fields and bundreds of busy men and women were at work in them. From every direction loaded teams were coming, and these deposited in great bins 400 tons of beets each day. Going to the other side of the mill I found a long train of freight cars being loaded with white sugar, of which that factory turned out this year 15,000,000 pounds. The hum of industry, the sounds of the busy mill and the laughter of workers in the field were borne on every breeze. In the evening I met in a fine, specious hall 500 intelligent, bright, cheerful people, American farmers and workmen.” A last effort is being made to save the neck of murderer McNulty, sentenced to be hanged tomorrow. Tuesday morning W.H.L. Barnes and Mayor Ellert left San Francisco for Sacramento for the purpose of making a report to Governor Markham for the reprieve of McNulty’s sentence. It is claimed that now witnesses have been found that will change the case materially in McNulty’s favor. Governor Markham was seen Monday night, and asked if there was anything now to be said regarding the McNulty case. He was very guarded in his reply, but said he had not granted the prayer of the politicians for a commutation of sentence. He said he had listened very attentively to all the arguments advanced by those who had called upon him in the interest of the condemned man, but said that they had said nothing that would warrant the belief that the stockholders of the Anaheim Co-op bear Sugar bueller company; please visit their annual meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Cooperative Beet Sugar Company will be held at Sterling Hall, Anaheim, Orange county, California (both improved and unimproved).
