HAPPNINGS OF THE WEEK Trouble of Quieting Title In the Irrigation District. No Little Expenditure Ahead for Those Whose Property Has Been Sold for Taxes—Four Thousand Dollars Collected to Defray Expenses—Judge Pierce's Client Punches Up Back Taxes—Statistics of Freight Shipments — Runaway Marriage in Westminster—Masquerade Hall at Fullerton—Fred Backs' Store Burglarized—Local Brevities. It developed at the meeting of the Directors of the irrigation district yesterday that considerable trouble awaits those who have failed to pay their taxes, not only during the past year, but in former years, and especially those whose property has been sold to and deeds procured by outside tax sharks. The district has purchased a number of parcels of land at delinquent sale, and according to law these tracts will have to be auctioned off to settle the claims against them. Suits to quiet title to a number of them may be brought, but this will entail no little expenditure. Those whose property has been purchased by the tax title buyers, however, have rather a troublesome time ahead. The case of one San Francisco purchaser was noted who bought up quite a piece of property at Placentia some five years ago, and who it was said would not surrender his tax deed for much less than twenty-five hundred or three thousand dollars, whereas the tax was less than a hundred originally. If the owner does not care to dispose of his property, perhaps the tax deed will not amount to much, but if he should determine to sell or trade, the shark will no doubt cause him no end of trouble. Judge Pierce appeared before the board, and asked for a reduction in the amount due by Wm. Zinn, living in Los Angeles, who owns four lots in the Speorl tract, and which had been sold twice, two and three years ago respectively, for taxes in the one case amounting to thirty cents and the other to sixty cents. The total accretion by process of law, what with delinquent notices, certificates; recording, etc., brings the ninety cents to $32 90. The board refused to reduce the amount, being unable to do so under the law, and the Judge paid it. This shows the manner in which the legal charges accrue. What the tax purchaser would charge might run up into the hundreds. Directora Korn, Porter, Stadtegger and Staley were present, and Judge Broussaean neck, would tell me I was "talking through my hat," whereupon if I were his dear pa I would leave a certain portion of his physical organization indistinguishable, as far as complexion goes, from a ripe tomato. There are several interesting brevities on tap, among them a young Lochinvar who came out from the West. Mr. Andrew Pope saw his best girl in Santa Ana the other day. She was engaged shopping with her mother. "One touch on her arm, one word in her ear," and both Emma Peters and Mr. Pope were in the latter's buggy and speeding at a three minute gait to Westminster, the home of the young man. The next day they hunted up a parson, and the parson tied the knot, and Emma is now Mrs. Pope, and Mr. Pope is as happy as a clam. Mr. and Mrs. Peters, the parents of the young bride, are much annoyed at the turn events have taken. "But when once the young heart of a maiden is stolen The maidens herself will steal after it soon." The best way out of it is the quietest, and Mr. and Mrs. Peters should at once own Mr. Pope as a son, and "bring him up in the way he should go, so that when he is old he will not depart from it." Mr. George Mack will soon follow Mr. Pope's example and take to himself, but in a perfectly legal way, the lady who has charge of Uncle Sam's mail bags in Westminster. Should George ever wax obstreperous a good plan for bringing him to his senses would be to look him up for a few hours in a mail bag. Mrs. Geo. Lowery is dangerously ill, and under the care of Dr. Clay. Whether it is the damp weather or some other cause, Dr. Clay seems to be kept busy these days. William Yeo of Kansas, who lately purchased the Jones ranch, has just arrived in town with a large and varied assortment of dry goods. He will build an adjunct to Patterson's store and drive a rushing trade. This is the first dry goods store Westminster has yet owned. The difficulty between Ed Woodington and H.G. Howell has been settled by arbitration. The circular saw which gave rise to the dispute has been awarded to Mr. Woodington. One of J.F.Patterson's customers who was large on Pat's books has skipped, thus inflicting a serious loss on a merchant who deserved better things at the hands of the runaway. Supervisor Hawkins has employed Geo.Turser and a crew of 15 men to trim up the roads about town, and won't the town look pretty! RAILROAD STATISTICS SHOWING THE SHIPMENTS OF ORANGES AND OTHER FRUITS DURING THE YEAR 1894. The following figures show the shipments of oranges, lemons, and other fruits and vegetables over the Santa Fe, for the year ending December 1894 (December approximated): Pounas... Oranges... 73,941,600 Lemons... 1,827,000 Other fruits and vegetables... 13,409,600 Honey... 506,000 Total... 106,683,600 MASOUERADE THE FULLERTON BAND ENTERTAINMENT LARGE CROWD OF MERRY MAN AT CHADBOURNE'S HALL. The old year was danced out and then year in amid scenes of the greatest joy at Chadbourne's Hall New Year's eve, and the masquerade given by the Fullerton served to fill the hall with one of the crowds that have yet assembled in our boring town. The band discoursed cozy music while the hall filled up with man and spectators, and at 9 o'clock when grand march began the scene was on inspiring beauty. Charley Stone acted as master of monies. After seeing that the grand mans properly executed Charley slipped of the hall, and soon reappeared in the tume of a Chinaman, whose antics creamed of laughter. Then the Celestial was removed and Charley appeared as manager again. Billy Hale was inspector, and A Gardiner saw that no improper charmer entered the door. The band discourses its usual excellent strain. Prof.Crowder musicians striving to outdo themselves rarely has the band played better. At midnight came the unmasking, the usual surprises and bursts of laughter. Later the march was taken up to the George Hotel, where the dining room brilliantly lighted up, and where tape covered with snowy clothes, groaned in their weight of good things. Mine Amerige saw that no one went away unsaid, and judging by the merriment he laughter that filled the spacious dining room his efforts must have been successful. Ball was a grand success, and the splice supper was not the least pleasant part of festivities. Some of the characters were follows: LADIES. Miss Nora Stone—Gas light blue; Pretty. Miss Ida Warling—Smillax girl; Crepe and green smilax. Mrs. Charlie Stone—Spanish dam green satin; black velvet; gold trimming. Miss Pearl Gable—Alfalfa. Miss L. Beckington—Snow flake. Miss Mary Ramella—Alfalfa. Mrs. John Wagner—Snow flake; blue velvet and white flakes. Lelia Pfeninger—Night. Mamie Winters—School girl; too sweet for anything. Miss Blanche Soudan—Latest style; nice elty trimming. Carrie Edwardson—America; red, white blue. Mrs.J.T.Haus—Tambourine girl; blink silk and white cashmore waist; cardinal saffron; Miss V.Ramella—Red Riding Hood. Miss Mary Sparks—Queen of Night; bib and star striped. Looked very pretty. Miss Delia Wagner—May Queen. Ono many pretty girls in the hall. Miss Mary West—Red white blue. Miss Metta Roerden—Flower girl; whit Miss Minnie Hotebrink—Spanish dance. Miss Titus—Fancy dress. Judge Pierce appeared before the board, and asked for a reduction in the amount due by Wm. Zinn, living in Los Angeles, who owns four lots in the Spoorl tract, and which had been sold twice, two and three years ago respectively, for taxes in the one case amounting to thirty cents and the other to sixty cents. The total accretion by process of law, what with delinquent notices, certificates, recording, etc., brings the ninety cents to $32 90. The board refused to reduce the amount, being unable to do so under the law, and the Judge paid it. This shows the manner in which the legal charges accrue. What the tax purchaser would charge might run up into the hundreds. Directors Korn, Porter, Stadtogger and Staley were present, and Judge Brouseau came in after the meeting had been called to order. Secretary Nebelung read the minutes of the last meeting, which developed that the Treasurer's salary had been raised to $25 per month, and that Deacon Garwood had written from Long Beach protesting against the payment of warrants issued since the date of those in his possession, and which it would appear he had been quite unable to collect. Collector Witte reported having collected the sum of $3,347 84 taxes during December. In November he collected $460 05, and in October $244 33, total $4,052 22. Ed Amerige appeared in reference to property sold for taxes in what has been considered the illegal assessment of three years ago. Judge Brouseau gave him the law upon the subject, saying that a suit to quiet title to land sold in the levy, which had been made without calling an election to vote on the expenditure of the money, and which method was subsequently declared by the Supreme Court to be illegal, was the only means open to the board in the premises. At the time of the sale, the Supreme Court decision reversing the practice had not been made, and the sale was therefore in accordance with law. Mr. Amerige wanted to quiet title to sundry pieces of property, which had been disturbed in the sale. Judge Brouseau suggested that he bring suit against the district to quiet title. The board said he had no authority, nor did they care to assume the responsibility of quieting title by any other process. In reference to papers not yet turned over by the ex-Treasurer, Mr. Korn reported that Mr. Reiser's nephew was expected to arrive to look over his papers, and would probably turn over the district's documents when he arrived. The President was instructed to take charge of the maps and other property of the district, which after disorganization will be sold at auction to the highest bidder. The board passed to the consideration of warrants against the district, after which they adjourned to Monday next, when they meet to canvass the returns of Saturday's election on abandonment of operations. WESTMINSTER LETTER. I have always regarded it as a sign of an ill-conditioned fellow when he calls names at the town he lives in, and the next thing he is likely to undertake is the "cutting of his nose to spite his face." My candid impression is, that when a man discovers that his environments are out of harmony with his sentiments he should either reconstruct his sentiments or hitch up his mules and pull out from his environments, and if he can't see his way to do this his neighbors should do it for him, for "One sickly sheep infects the flock And poisons all the rest." This has nothing to do, however, with the sphere of legitimate criticism, and it is with a little legitimate criticism that I am now going to indulge myself. There is one reverberating complaint that I have heard from the lips of a score of fathers and mothers in and around Westminster, and its burthen is the precociousness of their sons. Now precociousness, being interpreted, means the premature development of mental powers, so it is not proper word in which to convey the meaning of fathers and mothers wish to convey a casual visit to one or two of roads about town, and won't the town look pretty! RAILROAD STATISTICS SHOWING THE SHIPMENTS OF ORANGES AND OTHER FRUITS DURING THE YEAR 1894. The following figures show the shipments of oranges, lemons, and other fruits and vegetables, over the Santa Fe, for the year ending December 1894 (December approximated): Pennas... 73,941,000 Oranges... 138,700,000 Lemons... 138,700,000 Other fruits and vegetables... 114,690,000 Honey... 500,000 Total... 106,883,600 The following is a statement showing shipments of green and dried fruits, raisins wines and liquors, honey, grain and wool by counties during the year ending December 31, 1894: Green and Dried Fruits... 148,980,000 Los Angeles... 132,900,000 Oregon... 132,900,000 Missouri... 132,900,000 Riverside... 148,980,000 San Diego... 132,900,000 Tennessee... 148,980,000 Texas... 132,900,000 New York... 132,900,000 Connecticut... 148,980,000 Massachusetts... 132,900,000 Virginia... 132,900,000 Delaware... 148,980,000 Florida... 132,900,000 Georgia... 132,900,000 North Carolina... 132,900,000 South Carolina... 132,900,000 Maryland... 132,900,000 Virginia ... 132，9 This has nothing to do, however, with the sphere of legitimate criticism, and it is with a little legitimate criticism that I am now going to indulge myself. There is one reverberating complaint that I have heard from the lips of a score of fathers and mothers in and around Westminster, and its burthen is the precociousness of their sons. Now precociousness, being interpreted, means the premature development of mental powers, so it is not the proper word in which to convey the meaning of the fathers and mothers wish to convey. A casual visit to one or two of their homes will give you an exact idea of what they want to get at, for you won't be seated more than two minutes before you get mixed up as to what particular party runs the establishment. The old man sits placially in his arm chair and manages to get in a word now and again in the conversation, while a young hopeful of seven years, at full length on the sofa—feet and all—talks at the rate of 18 to the dozen, contradicts his father, emphasizes his own opinion with an oath and tells the old man that he is "talking through his hat." Add another seven years to the young hopeful's life and he must have a horse and buggy for his own personal accommodation. He drives his best girl round the country, and on Sunday evening on the pretense of going to church he hies off to Anaheim or the Landing, puts himself outside of three or four schooners of beer, comes home and tells the "heads" of the sermon and its practical application to the delightful ears of his parents. This is not an exaggerated picture, but drawn true to life. I have been asked to suggest a remedy for it, but it is too late to look the stable door when the colt has been stolen. The thing is beyond remedy. It is worse than useless to thrash obedience in a boy of fourteen. If he is not amenable to moral suasion, he has outgrown every other restraint except—Whittier. The preventative lay in the hands of pater-familias years and years ago. The impression indelibly impressed on the child should have been that "little boys are to be seen, not heard," and the very instant he was told to do anything, that instant he should have been made to do it. And a thrashing once a week even if he didn't fall deserve it, would have kept the old man's hand in training, and fulfilled a plain scriptural injunction. Instead of this the little brat hoisted on an arm chair dined with the family, copied all their grown-up ways, and very soon grew precocious, and nobody ever said don't or you mustn't. Under the circumstances can you blame the child for being the father of his father at fourteen? How differently things obtain in the old country. How beautifully are the homes ordered in comparison with ours. But comparisons are invidious, and if I drew a picture of English home as far as its boys and girls are concerned, some young gentleman just out of his shell and with a napkin pinned round his agricultural implements. A two-seated surrey, in good condition, or exchange for a good milch cow. Postoffice Box 1567, Anaheim, Cal. John Smith and his bride of a week were found dead in bed in San Francisco Sunday morning, asphyxiated by gas. Smith was section foreman for the Southern Pacific Company at Shell Mound, and was married four days before Christmas. The couple had not turned the gas off properly before retiring. The New Year was ushered in with firing of cannon and amid merry shouts of gladness. The "Rink Club" had a midnight feast at Whitaker's store. With many a jest and wager as to the greatest eating capacity of the members, oysters and crackers disappeared with marvellous rapidity. The New Year came in with eating and drinking, a sure prophecy of great prosperity and plenty for this vicinity. The decree has gone forth and the "words will not return void, but will accomplish that whereunto they were sent." Thursday evening last the annual church meeting was held. Reports were favorable as to financial condition. The indebtedness is small, but with the efficient aid of the people in this community will soon be free. It is seldom a church is so fortunate as to have such a good pastor. The congregations are increasing. Rev. Bland from Chicago has been visiting his sister, Mrs. Kennedy. He left for his home Monday. Mrs. Isabella Lindsay is expected soon at Mrs. Baron's. Mr. Bingham of Santa Ana had a grand opening at his new creamery on Wednesday. He is going to live in George Caldwell's house. Friday evening the Y. P. S. C. E. will give a "cobweb party" at the residence of A. W. Whitaker. The socials of this society are always good. We know this will be no exception. A new gun box is being put up at Coyote Heights. This fine piece of work is entrusted to Conner Brothers. Mr. Emery and a number of his friends were down last week. Improvements are continually going on. This will be equal to any of the hillside ranches in the country when completed. One good jump-seat survey for sale cheap for cash. Apply to Joe Reid, Anaheim.

FULLERTON BAND ENTERTAINS A LARGE CROWD OF MERRY MAKERS AT CHADBOURNE'S HALL. The old year was danced out and the new in amid scenes of the greatest jollity Bradbourne's Hall New Year's eve, when masquerade given by the Fallerton band to fill the hall with one of the largest that have yet assembled in our neigh- town. The band discoursed concert while the hall filled up with maskers spectators, and at 9 o'clock when the march began the scene was one of singing beauty. Barley Stone acted as master of cereals. After seeing that the grand marche properly executed, Charley slipped out of the hall, and soon reappeared in the coat of a Chinaman, whose antics created laughter. Then the Celestial garb removed and Charley appeared as floor orer again. By Hale was inspector, and Alex. Her saw that no improper characters had the door. The band discoursed in general excellent strain, Prof. Crowther's stirs to outdo themselves, and has the band played better. Midnight came the unmasking, with unusual surprises and bursts of laughter. The march was taken up to the St. Hotel, where the dining room was neatly lighted up, and where tables, with snowy cloths, groaned under weight of good things. Mine Hostage saw that no one went away unsatisfied and judging by the merriment and that filled the spacious dining room, arts must have been successful. The isa grand success, and the splendid was not the least pleasant part of theies. Some of the characters were as: LADIES. Nora Stone—Gas light blue. Very Ida Warling—Smilax girl; pink and green smilac. Charlie Stone—Spanish damselflat; black velvet, gold trimmings. Pearl Gable—Alfalfa. L. Beckington—Snow flake. Mary Ramolla—Alfalfa. John Wagner—Snow flake; black and white flakes. Pfeninger—Night. The Winters—School girl; too sweet chinche Soudan—Latest style; nov- ning. Edwardson—America; red, white J. T.

One of my pretty girls in the hall. Mary West—Spanish; red white end Metta Roeden—Flower girl; white. Minnie Hetebrink—Spanish dancer. Its-Fancy dress. Kleinigkeiten. “The little candy kitchen” has folded its tent and silently stolen away. The new county officers elect will be inducted into office on Monday next. Mr. Dickel's rain gauge records a precipitation of 5.73 inches of rain for the season. Santa Ana has a “400” social club. Oh, come, come. Do you take in every one in town? Quite a bit of water has been running under the Sandwash bridge as a result of the heavy rains. Thirty couples attended the New Year’s dance given at the Del Campo and tripped the old year out and the new year in. Of all the good resolutions and new leaves turned over on New Year’s, how many have outlasted the temptations of two days? Mount San Bernardino, glistening in its snowy mantle, has been a conspicuous object of beauty in the cast, towering in the sunlight above the landscape. Schools took in yesterday, after the holiday vacation, and the young idea after his encounter with Santa Claus is again being taught how to shoot. Invitations will shortly be issued by the “400” club for a social dance at the Opera-house on the 18th inst. Schoneman’s orchestra will furnish the music, and an oyster supper will be served on the stage. Mrs. Gustav Davis announces that she will continue the business of her deceased husband at the old stand, and solicits a continuance in future of the patronage which he enjoyed in the past. Mr. Langenberger having resigned as a Director of the fruit association, a meeting of the board will be held at the City Hall to-morrow afternoon at 2 o’clock to elect a member to fill the vacancy. A report prevailed in town some days ago to the effect that the Brookshurst ranch had sold its orange crop to Earl. Of course this was not so. Mr. Cargill pronounces it a silly fabrication. Owing to the heavy rain Friday evening there was no quorum at the meeting of the A. F. A., and the council adjourned to its next regular meeting night, when the election of officers and installation will take place. A large crowd attended the rabbit chase down on the Alamitos ranch New Year’s day. The Orange band enlivened the occasion with music, and the hunt was an exciting one, about fifty of the long-eared jackets being caught by the hounds. One of the street car mules having entirely recovered from its recent indisposition, came tearing up Center street from the factor in the upbuilding of our bustling neighborhood town: Mr. Irwin will be in charge of the work. The telegraph dwells upon the importance of the sale of the Santa Anita orange crop by Lucky Baldwin to Earl, comprising 130 cars, for $30,000. This is doubtless a good sale, but it cannot come up to some of the sales here in the past. Three years ago Mr. Gilman received $13,500 for his crop of thirty carloads, and the price received by the Brookshurst ranch for their crop last year, while the exact figures are not at hand, must knock the Santa Anita figures sky high. Lynn Lyman has started a new paper at Moreno—the Valley Voice he calls it. Well, here’s luck, Lynn; may the Voice never be attuned to harsh cadence, but may prosperity tend to a rhythmical modulation that will make of it one continual newspaper song. And don’t forget to cover it up well when you go out, Lynn. You know what Patti said about her voice—that it was her genius or something, and unless she covered up well when she went out, she might lose it? And may the Voice be as sweet as hers, and go on singing trai- la, la laingo, to the eternal discomfiture of the other fellow down the street. Revival of the report of the Southern Pacific’s purpose, to build its road into town through Santa Ana street, and to establish a depot at the corner of that thoroughfare and Los Angeles street, and to push on to Placentia, has been made within a day or two past. We are informed railroad men have been here looking over the route, and that it is the company’s desire to construct the road as soon as necessary franchises and rights of way may be secured. Dr. McMurray has had quite a hospital of sick animals at Lewis’ barn, the two little street car mules having been among the number. They took cold—the little beasts—and their necks had to be operated upon. They have quite recovered under the Doctor’s treatment and are now restored to their aforetime usefulness. The horse belonging to Isaac Lyons which was so severely injured in a runaway a couple of weeks ago that its life was despaired of has also been cured. It was given the Doctor, and the other day he was made a very good offer for it, which however he refused. An investigation of the transcript of proceedings in the issuance of school bonds develops the fact that throughout the papers the city of Anaheim is referred to as “town,” according to the formula furnished by School Superintendent, although the fact of its being a city of sixth class under the law would seem to make it clear that revision of these old formulas was necessary. Of course the substitution will not affect the sale of the securities, but a change to the more pretentious designation would not only tend to euphony and the agreeable, but would conserve as well a point in law that might avoid trouble in other cases. We simply throw J. Orlando Metz and Miss Nieder this city were married at the Richlieue Santa Ana, on Tuesday. Miss Retta Smith was surprised by her berber of young folks at her home one day last week, when her visitors were hospitably entertained. George Horr left yesterday event Sterling, Kansas, having received telegrams advice of the serious illness of his He will be absent several weeks. Mrs. D. L.

Druggist Jesson has been appointed minister of the estate of Trumbles his recently deceased father-in-law breathed his last in Orange some weeks past, is reported to be in ing. His friends hope to see him out soon. Mr Webb has been hauling large co- branches through town for river eminent at the Olive bridge, where he has a gang of men strengthening the same protection of that structure. Arcadio Borque after an absence o years during which time he has reside Madera county and has traveled as is Mexico towards spendthe holidays relatives and friends here.

Dr. B. F. Kierulff and family of Lo-geles have been guests of Mr. and Mrs L. Rogera Mrs. Kierulff is a daughter Mr. and Mrs Rogers, will remain her children, until schools take in age town. The Doctor returned to Los An- yesterday. Mr. Bradford was in from Placention other day. He has just recovered from a tack of threatened pneumonia which hit him in bed a couple of weeks. Under this fluence of the pleasant weather now pro- ing he is convalescing rapidly. Grand Master J. H. Simpson of the M.O.F. is expected to arrive in town tomorrow on a visit to the local Fellows lodge. Mr. Simpson was at time foreman of the Bulletin compa- room in San Francisco, but having am- COOL BURGLARY. BACKS’ FURNITURE STORE BURRIZED—BETWEEN FIVE AND HUNDRED DOLLARS TAKEN. August Backs opened the doors of her Perdina and its furniture store shortly after clock Friday morning he wished to see the safe door open, the money cup of the safe and the floor littered with the firm’s valuable papers. He his brothers and informed them the been burglarized. A basty exhibition that between five and six dollars had been taken. Two were left in the money trays, and a few of papers, that had evidently gone over, littered the floor safe. The burglars escaped the door at the side of the safe, the doors having been unbolted from and closed from without. All the shutters were found to be as they left the evening before. The front entrance which the burglary might have with a skeleton key, had been apparent, although its outer ironshut not been closed upon it, and an ex-steward of the stairway leading to the floor awed that the burglary must have enclosed before closing time Thursday and secreted himself until the men who had gone home. On the top step, did not been dusted, could be seen burglared had been seated, the imminent that of rather a large-sized close inspection of the impression that disclosed that probably he wore trousers. On a corner on the step there further indications of his prespecified tobacco expectations of which he disclosed that probably he wore trousers. On a corner on the step there further indications of his prespecified tobacco expectations of which he disclosures that probably he wore trousers. The man went up the stairs clock in the evening, and as he closed some time before 9, he had to wait to begin operations, alobably the robbery had not been occur before midnight. Findingation that the combination of the not been turned on, and nothing turn the knob and the combination was not so. Mr. Cargill pronounces it a silly fabrication. Owing to the heavy rain Friday evening there was no quorum at the meeting of the A. F.

A large crowd attended the rabbit chase down on the Alamitos ranch New Year’s day. The Orange band enlivened the occasion with music, and the hunt was an exciting one, about fifty of the long-eared jackas being caught by the hounds. One of the street car mules having entirely recovered from its recent indisposition, came tearing up Center street from the Southern Pacific depot yesterday morning, having broken away from the car at the station. The animal was shortly recovered and traffic resumed. The game of “skat” which the dispatches toll us has just been introduced into Chicago by the German citizens, who had a “skat turnament” the other day, has long been played in Anaheim, where we have some very fine players. Is it ten? Spiel conquerem! Advices from Florida received by the local fruit exchange bring the information that not a single orange in that State escaped the effects of the trost. At a meeting of the Executive board in Los Angeles yesterday a substantial raise in the price of California oranges was adopted. A subscriber of a mathematical turn of mind drops us a line to say that an inch of rain falling on an acre of ground is equal to 22,622 gallons, which at 10 pounds to a gallon is 113 tons and 22 pounds, and on a square mile, 904,880 gallons, or the immense weight of 72,300 tons and 800 pounds. The new year was ushered in with usual elcat on the part of the small boy. Bells were rung, the street lamps lighted, and we hear of several citizens awaking to find wheels—not in their heads—but hanging on their front gates in the morning; and one resident found himself richer by a wagon bed without wheels which had been deposited in his front yard by the frisky youth. The pugilist Jack Fogarty failed to put out Billy Schumacher in six rounds at Fullerton Saturday evening. Only a small number of spectators were present, and at the conclusion of the mill. Fogarty accepted a challenge from Prof. Lymburner for a contest to take place in this city in the near future. While Fogarty did not do much, he is said by the knowing ones to be a “surprise party.” Next Saturday occurs the election on abandonment of operations by the irrigation district. No one should neglect the election, in the belief that abandonment will be carried without his vote, but should go to the polls and make the vote as decisive as possible. It takes a three-fifth vote to carry, and no election on abandonment can be held again inside of two years. Vote “Abandonment—Yes.” Mrs. Section Smith died at her home northwest of town early on Sunday morning and was buried in the Norwalk cemetery on the afternoon of that day. She had beenailing only a few days, and succeeded to internal inflammation. She was a lady of many rare qualities of mind and heart, charitably disposed, and her loss will be sadly felt by the community at large. William Howitt, alias Wild Bill of Texas, who was arrested in San Diego a couple of weeks ago and charged with an attempt to blow up Mrs. Menzal’s house with powder some months ago, was acquitted at his trial in the Superior Court on Monday. After his discharge at the time of the commission was given the Doctor, and the other day he was made a very good offer for it, which however he refused. An investigation of the transcript of proceedings in the issuance of school bonds develops the fact that throughout the papersthe city of Anaheim is referred to as “town,” according to the formula furnished The School Superintendent, although the fact of its being a city of the sixth class under law would seem to make it clear revision of these old formulas was necessary.

We simply throw outthe hint for what it is worth. “City,”pleasanten! Arthur Porter and Miss Jennie Stough were married at the residence of the bride's parents at 8 o'clock Monday evening, the Rev.

Mrs. Section Smith died at her home northwest of town early on Sunday morning and was buried in the Norwalk cemetery on the afternoon of that day. She had beenailing only a few days, and succumbed to internal inflammation. She was a lady of many rare qualities of mind and heart, charitably disposed, and her loss will be sadly felt by the community at large. William Howitt, alias Wild Bill of Texas, who was arrested in San Diego a couple of weeks ago and charged with an attempt to blow up Mrs. Menzel's house with powder some months ago, was acquitted at his trial in the Superior Court on Monday. After his discharge at the time of the commission of the crime it is doubtful if the evidence gathered since then warranted putting the county to the expense of going after him and giving him a second trial. The Editorial Association goes to River-side next month for its annual outing, the time for the beginning of the session being Monday, February 4th. A meeting will be held on the evening of that day, and will be followed by a couple of days' sight-seeing such as the Riversiders themselves might select. The trip contemplates a visit to Perris, San Jacinto and neighboring places, and will be an occasion of much interest to the visitors to see the great orange-producing region and the rapidly developing country of the Perris and San Jacinto valleys. Miss Zoila Smythe has received the following letter from her brother Fred, who is down in Mexico with the party of Cocopah prospectors who left here for that country a couple of months ago: PINACATE MOUNTAIN, Dec. 22, 1894. DEAR ZOILA: I wrote you a few days since from San Antonio, but as there is no mail going out regularly from that place we had to leave our letters to one of the store-keepers to mail for us, and there being no certainty of it being done I send you these few lines by an American custom officer, who heard of our being here and thinking that we were opium smugglers came to arrest us. Of course the officer did not arrest us as we were not the kind of people he was looking for. We have had bad luck so far in our enterprise. We still have one more place to prospect, which will take perhaps eight or ten days, and after that, successful or not, we will proceed to Yuma, which we expect to reach within fifteen days. You will hear from us by that time again. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you. The Union Oil company of Santa Paula yesterday received four carbads of lumber and machinery at Fullerton for putting down oil wells on the 1,000 acre tract recently rented by them beyond that place from Jose Sansenina, and will begin boring for oil. The industry promises to be an important himself severely and had been advised to try the San Diego climate for recovery. When he was ushered into the august presence of Deputy Sheriff Backley at the county jail to serve out his thirty day sentence, that official accosted him with: "Hello, Bill! you here again? And from Anaheim! Didn't I tell you to keep away from Anaheim? The fellow had been released but a day or two before, and instead of making his way to San Diego was getting away from there as fast as his legs could carry him. Probably the paper in his possession was a forgery. Deputy Sheriff Phillips of San Bernardino arrived in town on Sunday in search of a Mexican named Juan Saiz, who had made his headquarters here for some weeks past, and who was wanted for complicity in a murder committed at Colton in October. Philips was accompanied by a Mexicn through whose efforts Saiz was arrested. The two rode down from San Bernardino, having determined to look for their man as far south as the line, and at Yorba learned that he was in this city. They came into town shortly after noon, and learning Saiz was down in Spanishtown, the Mexican went down and invited him up town for a drink. Saiz consented, and as he stepped up to the bar in the saloon, Philips arrested him, and escorted him to Lewis' stables, where he ordered him to throw up his hands, and the bracelets were put upon him. The officer left with his man on the evening train for San Bernardino. Saiz is wanted as an important witness for the prosecution. The murderer was an American, who was set upon by some Mexicans and killed. The murderer was arrested but the witnesses escaped. Saiz has since been in hiding. After the capture, the Mexican through whose efforts he was arrested was somewhat apprehensive of violence at the hands of some Mexicans here. He left town on horseback, and fearing pursuit and injury at the hands of the captured man's friends, started out ostensibly for Santa Ana, but some miles out backtracked toward San Bernardino, and doubtless reached his home in safety. RIVERSIDE, Jan. 1.-There was general surprise and some indignation in this city this morning when it became known that the Riverside Water company, a corporation with whose interests the welfare of a very large portion of this valley is closely identified, had been quietly placed in the hands of a receiver on the previous evening, the order being made by the superior judge at his residence, at the request of the attorney for creditors for a small amount, the president of the company and his attorney being willing parties to the proceedings. It had been known for some time past that the company was pushed for ready money to meet its obligations, but as several of the principal stockholders are men reputed to possess very large fortunes, it was not believed that a resort would be had to a receivership.

Arcadio Borquez after an absence of five days during which time he has resided in Anaheim and has traveled as far asico returned to spend the holidays with loves and friends here.
