HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK The Refinery Will Not Be Built This Year. Change in the Programme Since Last Week—Time Too Short In Which to Get the Works Up This Year—It Goes Next Year, Sure—a Large Acrange to Be Planted for China—Other Items—Judge Tewner’s Letter on the Fee Question—Water Board-City Fathers Talk About High License—Social Notes and Personal Mention. From present indications it is doubtful if the co-operative sugar refinery can be built this year in time to handle the coming season’s best crop. Up to last Wednesday evening everything seemed to be all right, and no doubt was expressed that work on the foundation would be actually under way inside of the week. At the meeting of stockholders Monday week this was the prevalent notion, and the statement was made that even with sugar on the free list the factory would be erected this year. On Thursday came telegrams saying that the Dyers had taken contracts to enlarge the Chino factory and also that at Lehigh, Utah, and would be unable to begin work here until after getting through with the other jobs. The time for their beginning of work here, as fixed by the contract, had passed, and they of course considered themselves free to take whatever other contracts came their way. The presumption existed that work on the refinery here would begin on the 1st of February, one of the conditions being that a railroad was to be constructed to the refinery site. This it was found impossible to do, and as doubt still existed as to the likelihood of the Directors getting things in shape and under way in time to permit of the beginning of work so as to have the refinery in readiness to handle this season’s crop, the Dyers were free to contract for other work. It is understood the machinery designed for the refinery here will be shipped to China and used in the enlargement of the factory at that place. New machinery for the co-operative refinery will be made at once at the works at Cleveland, and the outlook is now that work on the building will begin some time in the summer, in plenty of season to have it up for an early season next year. Meanwhile active efforts will be kept unjourned session on Saturday afternoon; when the Superintendent reported having constructed nine cement drops on the ditch in the Placentia district. He had used two barrels of the new San Diego cement and found it useless for the purposes intended—the work would not be safe without finishing up with Portland cement. He had experimented with a little side gate, using the new cement exclusively, and had found the work to be still soft at the time of making the report; the Portland cement would harden right up. He will make a written report, and the Secretary will forward the same to the San Diego company, with the addition that the water company will decline to pay for the cement, it having failed to come up to recommendations and being undited for their use. The Committee on Transfer of Stock were granted further time to report upon a system of charges for reissuing certificates. The bond of W. H. Blonnerhassett, the newly elected Secretary, was submitted, showing W. P. Botaford and Geo. Rohrer as sureties in the sum of $2,000. Approved and accepted, and placed in the custody of the President of the board. H. Cohen’s bond as Treasurer, with K. Cohen and M. A. Newmark of Los Angeles as sureties in $5,000. Same courses. The question of fixing a salary for the office was discussed, and laid on the table. The Committee on Rules was not ready to report. Crowther, Botaford and Ryan were appointed a committee to examine the Engineer’s report, to be submitted next Saturday, and the board adjourned to that day at 10 o’clock. THE ROSCOE ROBBERS. REPORTED TO BE IN ANAHEIM MONDAY—THEY VISIT SEVERAL PLACES AND CHANGE A TWENTY IN EACH PLACE. A wild-eyed rumor stalked about the streets on Monday to the effect that two of the red-headed Roscoe train robbers—the tall and short ones—were in town, having driven up in a buckboard to a residence in West End, or rather below the Southern Pacific depot, where they abandoned the outfit and came up town, presumably to take the San Diego train and escape into Lower California. A Gazette reporter was given the tip and at once set out to hunt the robbers up. At Helmsen’s cigar store he encountered them—at least two men that looked like robbers, one short and the other rather tall—walked into the store di solly ahead of him. One was about 5 feet 6, and the other about 5 feet 11—answering to the heights of Roscoe people. Both looked around on entering the stores and stared at the reporter, taking him presumably to be a rail road detective. They bought a couple of cigars, and the report soon gained currency. THE "DUG-DOUT." JUDGE TOWNER TURNS HIMSELF LOOSE ON JUDGE PIERCE’s “FIND” IN THE FEE QUESTION. The following letter from Superior Judge Towner on the fee question will be found of interest by our readers. It will be seen that he overrules Judge Pierce of this bail-wick: SANTA ANA, Cal., Feb. 19, 1894. EDITOR GAZETTE—Allow me to say that you have been led into an error as to the basis of the opinion of the court on the question whether Justices’ fees in criminal cases triple before them are county charges. Judge Pierce’s alleged “find” was before the court. The matter you quote from that act of March 1, 1878, in the act of March 5th, 1870 word for word. That proviso, with its prohibition, as to county charges, was the law from 1870 in Los Angeles county (including Orange county territory) till 1883. The County Government Act was then passed, and the prohibition was then removed as to Justice’s charges in criminal examinations, but not as to fees in trials; and the provisions of that act in that regard are the same to-day. There is no other provision as to county charges in Orange county in respect to such fees, than this one in the County Government Act. In this opinion, all the statutes on the subject were collated and considered, from the "Criminal Practice Act" of April 15, 1851, to the Codes of 1873 and the statutes since passed down to and including County Government Act of March, 1893. This will fully appear on the publication of the opinion, which I understand is to be done, but the above correction I wish made. Your respectfully, J. W. TOWNER. From the Santa Ana Blade of Tuesday. Editor Blade—Please allow me a few lines to say that I cannot see "a nice point," or any point at all, arising on the statute "dug out" by Justice Pierce. The section you quote part of the statute of March 5, 1870 (not 1870), and was carried, word for word, into the amendatory statute of March 1, 1878, (not 2878), the one said to have been dug out by Justice Pierce. In both statutes the provision that the "fees of justices in a criminal action shall in no case be a county charge," was law till the passage of County Government Act, March 14, 1883, in which, in stating what should be county charges, this was inserted, "all charges and accounts for services rendered by any justice of the peace for services in the examination of persons charged with crime, not otherwise provided for by law." This makes the fees in examinations only, county charges. No other change has been made. All the statutes on the subject, including the "dug out," were reviewed by me, from 1851 to 1893. Santa Ana, Cal., Feb. 18, 1894. CITY FATHERS. The Board of City Trustees met in adjourned session on Saturday evening, present Trustees Witte, Rust, Schindler and Graves. likelihood of the Directors getting things in shape and under way in time to permit of the beginning of work so as to have the refinery in readiness to handle this season's crop, the Dyers were free to contract for other work. It is understood the machinery designed for the refinery here will be shipped to China and used in the enlargement of the factory at that place. New machinery for the co-operative refinery will be made at once at the works at Cleveland, and the outlook is now that work on the building will begin some time in the summer, in plenty of season to have it up for an early season next year. Meanwhile active efforts will be kept under way for the securing of rights of way for the railroad from this point to the refinery, and everything will be placed in readiness for the resumption of work probably next July. Contracts are being made for the planting of 3,000 acres of beets for Chino, and an effort will be made to increase this acreage. The Chino refinery will be very materially enlarged, its now capacity to be upwards of a thousand tons of beets per day. With 3,000 acres planted to beats here the beet season will be without doubt a most important and busy one. Last year we planted 700 acres, and we shipped 682 carloads of beets during the months of August, September and October. This amounted to 7,252 tons. The sum received for the crop came to $35,611.24. Of this $5,385.41 was paid for freight. With 3,000 acres in this year, those results will be more than quadruple. In truth, taking cognizance of the fact that our farmers are more experienced this season than last, and will be able to take advantage of the numerous points of detail lost to them by inexperience last year, it is not too much to say that the results this year will be five times as great as those of last year. Counting, however, on four times as much money for the crop, we shall have, in round numbers, 30,000 tons of beats here the coming season, or 3,000 carloads. Instead of sending out a trainload of ten cars each day during the months of August, September and part of October, we shall be required to send out four trainloads a day during that time, and if we shall plant 6,000 acres of beats, as it is reported is not at all improbable, eight trainloads a day will have to be sent to Chino in order to move the crop. But four trainloads a day will keep the best-rivers and the railroad busy. This acreage ought to bring into this valley no less than $150,000 for the crop. While it is to be deeply regretted that circumstances have so shaped themselves as to preclude the possibility of building the refinery this year, nevertheless are the farmers in better shape than they were last season. There will be a quadruple beat acreage, and next year the refinery will be a "dead sure thing." Of course the Board of Directors are to be held blameless in the premises. They have done their best, and in truth have done notably well. They have succeeded in floating $400,000 of the refinery bonds, and if they had a month's more time would be able to put up the refinery this year. There is little to be added, but that Time in his flight has left us behind by the slight margin of a few weeks, but with renewed courage and an indemnitable will, we shall await his coming around the course again, and be prepared next year to have the refinery here without any peradventure of a doubt. WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY. To-day being the anniversary of the birth of George Washington; the father of his country, first in peace, first in war, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, the day will be patriotically observed with appropriate exercises at the public schools, to Lower California. A GAZETTE reporter was given the tip and at once set out to hunt the robbers up. At Helmson's cigar store he encountered them—at least two men that looked like robbers, one short and the other rather tall—walked into the store diety ahead of him. One was about 5 feet 6, and the other about 5 feet 11—answering to the heights of the Roscoe people. Both looked around on entering the store and stared at the reporter, taking him presumably to be a rail road detective. They bought a couple of cigars, and the report soon gained currency that they changed a twenty-dollar gold piece to pay for them. Then they went to Robison's Cafe, where reports had it that they changed another twenty; then to Fritz's, where another "shiner" was broken; there around through Chinatown and down to Mona. Pauchon's rottiserie, where another double-sagle was changed. Marshal Steadman was on the tracks of the robbers in no time, and the populace were getting a good road on to hear of aanguinary encounter between him and the desperadoes. They came out from Pauchon's and disappeared. Inquiry at the different places developed the fact that the two suspicious characters had visited each place, but subsequent events tended to disprove the sensational reports about the twenty-dollar gold pieces. The Landlord said the last twenty he saw was when he changed one for us when we bought ten cents worth of bananas the other day: Col. Robison said he had seen a twenty in a month; Fritz assured the reporter that since the high license and prohibition talk there were no more twenties; and Mona. Pauchon said that so far from paying him for their refreshments, the two strangers had stood him off. And so the Roscoe robber story was exploded. Some time last year Mr. Johnson of Redlands conceived the notion that his wife was unfaithful to him, and proceeded to sue her for a divorce. He employed a Los Angeles private detective to shadow the lady, whom he suspected of being imarmed one Muligan. Last Monday evening the detective thought was a proper time to bring about the denouement of the domestic drama, in which he was acting with great activity as stage manager, and he, with Mr. Johnson and a number of witnesses, stationed themselves in an adjoining room in the Jackson Hotel to that occupied by Mrs. Johnson and Mulligan. At right moment the detective opened the intervening door and the party marched into the room where the couple were calmly reposing in the negligence attire usually assumed for slumber. The two sought to hide by covering up their faces, but the husband marched up to them, pulled the covering from their countenances and introduced the persons present to the woman by announcing her as "my legal wife." Johnsen, from precautionary motives, had a revolver in his hand, but made no attempt to use it; his idea not being to revenge his wrongs by slaying the destroyer of his domestic honor, but to procure evidence for the divorce suit. This being done to his satisfaction, he went to the newspaper offices and gave publicity to his discovery. The sale of a large amount of delinquent property was to take place Tuesday in Alessandro Irrigation District to satisfy the taxes levied by paythe interest on the district's bonds, amounting to $75,000. These bonds were turned over to the Bear Valley Irrigation Company some time ago, the irrigation district receiving in return $11,000 water certificates, which provide for placing waters on the lands of the district. CITY FATHERS. The Board of City Trustees met in adjourned session on Saturday evening, present Trustees Witte, Rust, Schindler and Conrad. The Finance Committee reported having examined all the reports of various officers and found the same correct. Received and filed. The Ordinance Committee submitted an amended draft for an ordinance granting a franchise for a right of way through Santa Ana and Olive streets to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. The draft was accepted by the board and will be submitted to the Committee on Right of Way, after which it will be submitted to the railroad company for approval. The matter of calling the city election was discussed, the subject of voting on the high license proposition being the main issue. A petition will have to be presented to the board asking that a vote be taken on the license question before the board will embody that item in the election proclamation. Adjourned. HIGH SCHOOL. EDITOR GAZETTE.-Would it not be well to commence agitation of the matter so vital to the interests of Anabeim and its surrounding neighbors, viz., the establishment of a high school? No charges can be brought then of springing the question without reflection. From now on all sides can be heard, and it can be considered from all sides, for and against. I would suggest, let there be a meeting called in Anabeim, by those interested, and a committee be appointed to formulate and circulate petitions to be signed by the taxpayers and residents. The Fullerton high school has not secured the quota of pupils (ten) for attendance as required by law. It must be discontinued after this term, and thereforethe territory comprising that high school district will likely be most favorably disposed to enter Anabeim high school district. Let the committee circulate petitions to that effect. With Anabeim as a nucleus, Placentais, Fullerton, Orangethope, Buena Park and Centralia, the burden of a high school would be very light. A good attendance would be insured and all the pupils would be benefited by a larger attendance than can be secured when only a few pupils attend a school. In short Anabeim can and does offer better inducements to pupils attending high school grades than any other locality in the northern part of the county. PROGRESS.

We acknowledge with thanks an invitation to be present at the opening of the Southern California Midwinter Fair Association, Tuesday, the 20th instant, which was observed as Southern California Day. From the dispatches at hand yesterday we learn that the opening was one of magnificence and splendor. The dispatches say: "The Southern Citrus Fair is open and the great building in which it is held at the exposition is dedicated. Both events were attractions important enough to bring a crowd to the exposition and a throng to the Southern California Building. Thousands of people were there to honor with their presence the five southern counties which have made such a splendid display of the products of their section. There was little need to remind one that it was Southern California day. Everybody on the grounds, from the Mining Camp to the Vienna Prater, from Castle Heidelberg to the Indian village, had at least one orange. Everybody was talking of the generous hospitality of those who lived and worked in a region so marvelously prolific. Strains of music could be heard coming from the big building on the hill, and a never-ending throng of men and women went back and forth on the road which begins at the Grand Court and ends at the entrance of the structure which Southern California has erected." Owing to the parsimonious policy adopted by our Board of Supervisors, Orange county is absent from the Fair—the only county in all Southern California not represented. This may be all right in the Supervisor eye, but it will never place us where we belong in the estimation of the thousands who visit the Fair. MEETING NOTICES. Presbyterian church—Rev.

It will be seen Judge Pierce of this baililence charge. Alleged "find" was before the matter you quote from that in 1, 1878, was in the act of 1870, word for word. That provision is prohibited, as to county law from 1870 in Los Andulico including Orange county territory. The County Government passed, and the prohibition was as to Justice's charges in inventions, but not as to fees in provisions of that act in that same to-day. There is no as to county charges in Organic respect to such fees, than County Government Act.

The social hop to be given at the Del Campo to-morrow evening by the Entre Nona promises to be one of the most pleasant society events yet given by the club. One of the most enjoyable events of the season was a social gathering at the Rollo ranch on Saturday evening in honor of three Los Angeles gentlemen, namely J. H. Roller, C. A. Sheldrick and M. P.

Fred Crist, the merchant tailor, has just received a choice invoice of spring goods, which he is ready to make up into stylish suits. See his advertisement on the second page. A note tacked on the bulletin board at the irrigation district announces that the sale of delinquent property, restrained until further order from the Court. Tim Boese has rented the rear portion of his building at the S. P. depot for a boarding house, which will be open shortly. There is no place in all this section which shows so much activity as the West End of town. Mr. Ricker has placed his orange grader in position in the Thacker warehouse at the S.

Albert Bittner broke the large bone in his left arm above the wrist one day last week, and is putting in time now wondering how he did it. He was sawing wood, when a pain in his left arm that had been increasing for some little time past became finally so unbearable that he went into the house to bathe it with liniment. When he tried to resume his wood sawing operations he found his arm would not permit it, but not thinking that anything serious was the matter, expected that by giving it a rest that day it would be all right for work next. There was no swelling and not enough pain to indicate anything serious, much less a broken bone. Nothing more was thought of it until the next day, when he concluded he would consult a physician, and going to Dr. Hardin was informed that he had sustained a bad fracture of the forearm. Now he is carrying the arm in a sling and wondering how he did it. A Mexican named Louis Yorba, small of stature and well along in years, was shot and killed in the hills near Rincon by George Emerson, aged 20, whose parents live at Santa Ana, during a quarrel about some Government land last Saturday morning. Emerson and his brother arose at 6 o'clock, had breakfast and went in their team to the site of their new cabin, the lumber to be used in the building of which having been placed on the ground day before. Yorba who is relative to the well-known Yorba family, had "squatted" upon the land, and as the boys came up, advanced in a threatening manner to meet them. He was accompanied by his wife. In the subsequent encounter he was shot several times by Emerson, dying almost instantly. The Emerson unloaded their wagon quickly and went to Santa Ana, where they gave themselves up. The Coroner's jury charged George Emerson with the killing and he is now in jail awaiting his examination. There are two sides to the case, and it is difficult to say at this writing which party is to blame. George Emerson has been charged with manlaughter and held in $5,000 bail. His brother has been held in $500 bail as a material witness in the case. Both have been released on bail. We are informed that Sheriff Cline has brought in a bill for $1,000 against the Los Angeles Supervisors for arresting Abran Aguilar, and we hear that the Supervisors will refuse to pay it.

Sougel, Herr Carl Schroeder, George Travers, William A. Trimble. —We have received the first number of Arthur McEveen's Letter, the new San Francisco weekly. McEwen is one of the most entertaining as well as incisive writers on the coast, and cannot fail to make his newspaper a power in the land. We shall look for each issue with renewed interest. —A valuable cow belonging to Mr. Weaver was drowned in the ditch running along the water alley in the Dreyfus tract between Los Angeles and Olive streets, below Santa Ana street, Friday afternoon. She had been staked out near the ditch, and in some manner had become entangled in her rope while crossing the ditch, and fell, and was drowned before assistance could reach her. —W.J. Smith informs us that he shipped last week from his ranch at Orangehorse to the Cudahy packing house in Los Angeles the finest lot of pigs ever went out of this section. They were 62 of the porkers, and their average weight was 344 pounds, and neither varied from the other more than twenty pounds. Mr. Smith is making a great success of pork culture. —Weather prophets are predicting flood —so much snow on the mountains, only waiting for the sun to come out after this cold weather and melt it down. Then a warm rain of several days' duration would open the flood gates and send the water down in torrents: On the whole, we think it is quite as harmless to talk this way as to harp continuously on a dry season. —Thos. R. Rowe, aged 21, and Miss Claudita Portio, 19, were married at Santa Ana Tuesday morning by Judge Freeman. The correspondent of the Herald writes: "There came near being a sensational conflict in connection with this marriage, as the brother-in-law was after the couple with a George Emerson has been charged with manslaughter and held in $5,000 bail. His brother has been held in $500 bail as a material witness in the case. Both have been released on bail. —We are informed that Sheriff Cline has brought in a bill for $1,000 against the Los Angeles Supervisors for arresting Abran Aguilar, and we hear that the Supervisors will refuse to pay it. As there was never one jot or title of evidence against Aguilar —as we do not think his dying wife said he poured the burning oil upon her—it follows that he should never have been arrested, and the Sheriff's claim should be by all means disallowed. What he should have instead of our outlandish fee, is a damage suit against him. Aguilar's arrest was a diabolical crime—a conspiracy on the part of the pelies—and it would seem that there ought to be some means for him to make those guilty of fetching him to the verge of a mob's gallows, suffer for their gross inhumanity. But no damage suit will result, and Aguilar will probably keep as far away from these inhuman officers as the laws will permit him. —As the regular north-bound afternoon express over the Southern Pacific was pulling into the station at this point last Thursday afternoon both left cylinder heads were blown out by the engine, and serious consequences were narrowly averted. The engine stops to take water at the tank a short distance below the depot, and after filling the tender, the trains pull into the station. When the engine had reached a point in front of the depot, the cylinder heads were blown out, scattering pieces of iron in all directions. Fortunately no one was hurt, although quite a number of people were present. One of the pieces of flying iron struck Henry Strodthoff on the leg, doing but little injury, and another piece demolished side of a trunk standing next to him. That none of the crowd gathered at the station was injured was indeed providential. Engineer Thomas immediately stopped the train, and after a delay of twenty minutes succeeded in engaging the disabled piston rod and went into Los Angeles using only the other side of the engine. —The indignation mentioned in these columns last week as existing at Fullerton over the importation of a gang of Chinchona orange pickers, imported by Porter Bros., purchases of the Benchly crop, culminated in the populace gathering together and notifying the heatouts to leave. This they did, going to Los Angeles on the evening train. Early this week Porter Bros. sent down another gang of Chinchona pick to pick oranges on the ranch. This time they were guarded by an officer from Los Angeles, the county paying his expenses. A petition has been circulated protesting against the employment of those Chinese, to which at last accounts 165 names had been appended; only three men in the entire community refused to sign it. The protest has been presented to Porter Bros., and the other commission at Los Angeles in the hope that the gang may be made to follow in the footsteps of the last gang that made its appearance in Fullerton. That Chinese are engaged to pack oranges when the county is full of men and girls anxious for job is sufficient cause to induce the indignant Fullerton people to adopt their purpose of Chinchona banishment, and they have the cordial goodwill of every one in Ana- Our patriarchal friend, Judge Free who recently escaped with his wife from a Grand Jury indictment against for malfeasance, was in town on Tuesday and called in to pay his respects. Judge is a pirate of captivating suave address, nothing ever troubles him even an indictment, and he assures will be alive and on top many of Grand Jury men are skipped to Canada indicted themselves. Capt.Wrede was in town yesterday, informs us that there came near by lynching in Santa Ana Canyon S day morning, after the killing of La can Yorba by George Emerson. Only rapidity with which the Emerson boys away from the canyon saved them from gathering vigilantes. The Captain says killing was done across the Riverhead line, and the trial will necessarily have been held in that county.

Thos. R. Howe, aged 21, and Miss Claudita Portio, 19, were married at Santa Ana Tuesday morning by Judge Freeman. The correspondent of the Herald writes: "There came near being a sensational conflict in connection with this marriage, as the brother-in-law was after the couple with a sharp stick, but got here after the ceremony was performed." We see an item travelling the rounds of the newspapers to the effect that petitions are now being circulated throughout the county to be presented to the Supervisors shortly, asking them to pass an ordinance to prohibit the sale of intoxicating beverages in the county. We have not seen the petition yet, and are informed that the Prohibitionists of Anaheim know nothing about them. Beale & Clark, recently from Santa Ana, are preparing to open a foundry and machine shop at West Anaheim. A new building has been put up for them by Mr. Darling adopting Ferman & Corstett's blacksmith shop on the west and when the reporter dropped in to see them a few days ago the new firm were busy putting in their planing lathe and getting the new building ready for occupancy. They have an automatic water register which will doubtless come into general use by irrigating companies. The body of a dead man, quite well tired, about 35 or 40 years of age, and evidently of German or Danish extraction, was found on Newport beach Sunday afternoon. The pockets were turned inside out, and for a time it was thought the man had been murdered. The body could not have been in the water long, as it was free from the repulsive features usually present in cases of lengthy immersion. Another report is that the dead man had hired a boat at Newport in company with a friend and had rowed out in the bay, capsizing. Neither one of the parties nor the boat has since been seen, and it is thought the body washed ashore is that of one of the men in the boat. John Everharty lost a valuable black silly in the pasture at Westminster one day last week. The animal cut itself in such a manner on a barbed-wire fence that for a time it was considered necessary to kill it to place it out of its misery. Some boys came up and the animal was given them to kill, but they asked for an opportunity to take it home and endeavor to cure it, which was granted them. The tendons in one of the front legs were badly lacerated. The silly, which was valued at a couple of hundred dollars, was otherwise so badly injured as to lead to the conviction that it will be impossible for it to recover. The weather during the greater part of the week has been cloudy, but little rain has fallen.
