HAPPENING OF THE WEEK Up Goes the Price of Water for Irrigation. To Be a Dollar an Hour During the Next Ensuing Three Months—A Supplemental Stream for Those Whose Trees are Suffering, to He Supplied Out of Their Turn—Bloody Cutting Aray—Ceferino Justo Distinguishes Himself Again—Tuesday Evening's Concert—Chamber of Commerce—Local Brevities—Minor Mention—Personal News and Gossip. The water board met in regular session on Saturday, all present—Amerige, Crowther, Nebelung, Spencer, McFadden, Ryan and Botaford. Mr. Spencer of the committee appointed to investigate the relation of Supt. Sheppard to certain ditch cementing in town, reported, exonerating that gentleman, the reports that he had associated himself with the work in a manner contrary to the rules of the company, having been found to be without foundation. The matter of constructing a ditch to Mr. Abbey's place was taken up, and resulted in the board agreeing to run a temporary ditch thither through Mr. Eymann's land, it being too late to put in cement, the company to set the grade stakes and put in a cement corner, and Mr. Abbey and neighbors to put in the ditch. Mr. Amerige asked for the services of the engineer to define grades for the change in the ditch at the packing-house at Fullerton, where the ditch will run under the railroad track, the railroad company having signified its willingness to put in a culvert and box. Granted. Supt. Sheppard read his report of work done on the upper ditch. The ditch had gone out twice, one of the new aluice gates, costing $62 25, going out and making a bad break. Water was now down at Taffree reservoir, and the ditch was carrying from 800 to 1,000 inches. After being subjected to a number of questions relative to the nature of the breaks and criticisms of his work, the report was accepted and filed. Mr. Sheppard remarked that those who wanted his job could have it, that he had been at the upper ditch night and day, and had slept out without covering, to get the water down as soon as possible. Secretary Blennnerhassett road Engineer Lum's report on the cementing of 2,011 feet of ditch at the headgate. The work had been difficult, the water in the river rising in the ditch so as to delay the work serious- drill, was rendered, and enjoyed very much by all. The Sunday school held a picnic Saturday last at Santiago canyon. The day was spent very pleasantly, and the children had a way up time. J. B. Tombes is down from Los Angeles, attending to the setting out of trees on his ranch. The water came down on Saturday, and everybody is happy. It looks great to see the ditches wet once more. It has completely wrecked the hauling water business. C. W. Alms, who has been quite sick, is able to be out again, but looks rather used up. MURDEROUS ASSAULT. CEFERINO JUSTO STRIKES JOSE COLIMA ON THE HEAD WITH A CLUB—THE INJURED MAN MAY DIE. An Indian by the name of Jose Colima was severely cut about the head some time Monday night by a paisano named Ceferino Justo, who was himself nearly done to death some months ago in an altercation with Indians near the Southern Pacific depot. Colima and Ceferino were indulging in a nocturnal orgie, when the latter struck the former upon the head viciously with a club, cutting the scalp, and precipitating him to earth with such force that he remained prostrated and in a comatose condition for some time. He was found wandering about the neighborhood back of the old blacksmith shop on Lemon street, early on Tuesday morning, and was taken in and cared for. He was stretched upon a table under some trees in the rear yard and physicians sent for, who had to work for a couple of hours during the forenoon stitching the scalp together. He was weakened from excessive loss of blood, and waved a handkerchief listlessly across his face, after the doctors had left him. The upper part of his head was bandaged, and his blood-stained garments showed that he had had a sanguinary battle. He would not talk. In the evening he was removed to the hospital at Santa Ana. Dr. Lochman said yesterday that the man may die from the effects of concussion of the brain. Some months ago Ceferino was literally cut to pieces in a tight with some Indians near the Southern Pacific depot. He walked up town, leaving a trail of blood for a mile, and when near the Old Planters' hotel corner would have fallen exhausted, had not some passers-by caught him and taken him to a physician. Dr. Bullard sowed him up, and while his shirt front and clothing were one mass of glistening blood, which ran and clotted in his sleeves, and trailed down his sides, recovered in a few days and was soon quite as well a ever. It is thought that Colima might have been implicated with those who did the cutting, and that at the first favorable opportunity, Ceferino assaulted him in retaliation for his own injuries. The men were drunk and quarreling, and it is hard to say what prompted the murderous assault. Constable Bittner arrested Ceferino and he is now in the lock-up. ENJOYABLE CONCERNS A LARGE AUDIENCE AND AN INTELLIGENT PROGRAM—BENEFIT THE GERMAN M. E. CHURCH. Music Hall was quite filled on Tuesday evening on the occasion of the concert given for the benefit of the German M. E. Churck. The singing of Miss Werth and Mrs. Rohr was a pleasing feature of the program; lady having to respond to an encore after plause. The singing of the Liederkanz also noteworthy, and the various other members were well rendered. Mr. Reiser serves credit for the excellence of this program, and is to be congratulated upon large outpouring of people to attend concert. Although experiencing the disforts of being thrown from his buggy into forenoon, he showed no lessening in their rest taken in the rendition of the varied numbers, and to his efforts are attributed in great part to the excellence of the best cart of the season. Many beautiful flies offerings were sent across the footlight Miss Werth, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Bullock Miss Kendall and Mr. Reiser being these recipients. The program was as follows: PART I.

Herr Franz Nebelung, himself a musician and composer of note, hands us the following reciting the nature of his impressions: The article discusses the process of obtaining water for a church building in a rural district and the challenges faced by the local community. **WESTMINSTER LETTER.** The most superficial observer cannot fail to be struck with the spirit of unrest and dissatisfaction prevalent in rural districts. Wherever you find a knot of men or boys engaged in animated conversation the burthen of the theme is the millionaire oppressor and the wrongs of the working classes. Surely in these times it was mistaken policy of the oil monopolists headed by Rockfeller to make such an exhorbitant rise on oil. It is now $125 per five gallon case. A few weeks ago it was sold at 75 cents. Now the question is who suffers under the imposition. Not the millionaire, for his mansion is lit by electricity. The poor hard-working man, the rancher paying twelve per cent interest on a mortgage and selling butter at 25 cents per roll and eggs at 10 cents a dozen, is the victim. No wonder the indignation is red hot, no wonder hints of a revolution are heard everywhere; and within five years it will come, and great will be the fall of the multimillionaire. The chickens always come home to roost, and when the day of reckoning comes, may God defend the right. The people of Westminster as a rule are quiet and law abiding, but the domineering sentiment among them to-day is that killing off a few millionaires would be no murder. This was the self-same sentiment that prevailed among the working classes before the outrage on the Southern Pacific depot. He walked up town, leaving a trail of blood for a mile, and when near the old Planters' hotel corner would have fallen exhausted, had not some passers-by caught him and taken him to a physician. Dr Bullard sowed him up, and while his shirt front and clothing were one mass of glistening blood, which ran and clotted in his sleeves, and trailed down his sides, recovered in a few days and was soon quite as well a ever. It is thought that Colima might have been implicated with those who did the cutting, and that at the first favorable opportunity, Ceferino assaulted him in retaliation for his own injuries. The men were drunk and quarrelling, and it is hard to say what prompted the murderous assault. Conatable Bittner arrested Ceferino and he is now in the lock-up. **ALL ABOUT BORREGOS.** HOW IKE WILLIAMS AND BILLY SMITH DEVASTATED THE COUNTRY WITH THEIR BANDS OF SHEEP IN THE EARLY DAYS. Ike Williams and Billy Smith were in town on Monday afternoon, and as the shades of night were falling fast, what could be more natural than their beginning to swap stories about sheep in the early days, when both were among the largest owners of borregos in Southern California? Supervisor Potter was along, and several other heavyweights, when one of them suggested that all hands go and weigh for a high ball, the lowest to pay for the same. To this Mr. Smith objected, and Ike Williams, who weighs about 250 and is getting thinner every day, filled in the gap by telling how many years ago, he was engaged in driving a band of sheep up the Santiago. He had traveled the road for ten years unmolested, but while yet some miles out of the canyon, he espied a new-comer making for him, wildly gesticulating and telling him there was no thoroughfare there. "What's the reason there isn't?" said Ike, who has a provoking way of asking unnecessary questions. "Well, I bought all this land, and am going to fence it in; and you can't drive me sheep over this road." "I've been traveling over this road for a number of years," replied Ike, getting sort o' warmed up, "and never beard any of this kind of objection before." "Well, you can't drive them sheep over here—I won't allow it." Ike told the stranger he would have to turn the sheep back himself if he wanted them turned back, and the man hurried off for his shotgun. The end of the story is that the man, having evidently sized up Ike's avoidupos, never came back with the shotgun, and the sheep went on as though nothing had happened. But the grass was scarce along the road for several weeks thereafter. Mr. Smith about that time drove a band of sheep over through the McPherson country. Bob McPherson had just set out his vineyard and the young vines were sprouting out fine. Uncle Billy sought to guard against danger to the young sprouts by telling his vaqueros to string out the sheep so that there would be no danger of them getting into the vineyard, and had succeeded in stretching them out about four miles, driving them two by two, with the leaders setting a rapid pace ahead, when McPherson came rushing out, waving his hat, and telling him that he could not drive his sheep that way. Upshot of the whole business was that the sheep stamped and broke into the vineyard. McPherson brought suit against Smith, but the latter was acquitted, on showing that the sheep were going along the road all right, until stamped into the vineyard by McPherson. The suit cost Mac sixty dollars, and Uncle Billy made his escape by paying Montgomery a legal fee of $10. The vineyard had very few sprouts after the sheep were driven out of it. The crop was rather scarce that season, and a few miles away in the Southern Pacific depot. He walked up town, leaving a trail of blood for a mile, and when near the old Planters' hotel corner would have fallen exhausted, had not some passers-by caught him and taken him to a physician. Dr Bullard sowed him up, and while his shirt front and clothing were one mass of glistening blood, which ran and clotted in his sleeves, and trailed down his sides, recovered in a few days and was soon quite as well a ever. It is thought that Colima might have been implicated with those who did the cutting, and that at the first favorable opportunity, Ceferino assaulted him in retaliation for his own injuries. The men were drunk and quarrelling, and it is hard to say what prompted the murderous assault. Conatable Bittner arrested Ceferino and he is now in the lock-up. **CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.** AN INVITATION TO ALL GOOD CITIZEN TO JOIN THE ORGANIZATION AND HELP ADVANCE THE INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY. The Chamber of Commerce met in regular session last Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock present, Directors Rogers, McFadden, Gill, Fay, Brown and Fowler. The Special Committee appointed to address upon the difficulty between the city's W.U.Tel.Co.reported progress in justing matters. Mr.Brown read a report covering various details in regard to disagreement. The committee arrived at the conclusion that no arbitrary orders had been forwarded to the company requiring removal of their wires,and were of opinion that the disagreement was brought about by some source unknown to trustees and themselves.The committee was of the opinion that perhaps the telegraph lineman sent here to look after the company interests was in error in reporting the stair of affairs. The committee further find that some of the telegraph poles on Center street,fringing Commercial Hotel west,ain an safe condition from rotting underground and ask to have them replaced with substantial poles.Mr.Fay prepared a ter.,covering all matters looking to amicable adjustment of the disagreement which has been forwarded to the telegraph company in San Francisco. Mr.McFadden stated that the gentlemen having in charge The Fullerton cainey have somewhat changed their previous arrangements in regard to the establishment of cannery at that place.A gentleman from The East ,who is here seeking investment for his capital,has been interviewed by projectors,and it is probable that he will induced to invest in the enterprise.The matter is still in embryo and nothing has been definitely decided upon. A number of fruit growers have signified their willingness to donate one-fourth who suffers under the imposition. Not the millionaire, for his mansion is lit by electricity. The poor hard-working man, the rancher paying twelve per cent interest on a mortgage and selling butter at 25 cents per roll and eggs at 10 cents a dozen, is the victim. No wonder the indignation is red hot, no wonder hints of a revolution are heard everywhere; and within five years it will come, and great will be the fall of the multimillionaire. The chickens always come home to roost, and when the day of reckoning comes, may God defend the right. The people of Westminster as a rule are quiet and law abiding, but the dominering sentiment among them to-day is that killing off a few millionaires would be no murder. This was the self same sentiment that prevailed among the working classes before the outbreak of the French Revolution. The new creamery is a guaranteed institution, and combined with it will be a cheese factory. Let us hope that this is the thin edge of the wedge in the right direction. Why not have a lumber mill and a corn sheller? They would build up the town and put money in circulation. It is said that J. P. Patterson will be the new business manager of the creamery. If he accepts the position it will inspire public confidence in the undertaking. Samson Edwards, Wm. Skelly and Dave Rodgera were selected to choose a site for the new building, and struck the nail on the head by purchasing a lot on Mr. Hardin's place. No more central locality could have been selected. Work will begin at once, and the creamery will supply a long-felt want. Mr. J. R. Davis gave an ice cream party at his residence on Saturday week. It was quite a success. James N. Watters spent Sunday with the old folks at home. Alma Wilson, who had the misfortune to break her arm lately, is recovering. Miss Florence Archer and Miss Turner have been selected as delegates to the W. C. T. U. convention to be held at Riverside. Arthur Tennison has gone to Los Angeles to study law. J. H. Allison has rented the Howell place north of town. Mark Sells is overhauling his hay press, and looks forward to a busy summer. The boys are getting ready for the harvest; some will go to Beaumont and others to San Joaquin. James Peters was amongst us on Sunday looking at old faces. C. Simmons has accepted a position as engineer for J. M. Newland of San Joaquin. Mr. Harper is entertaining visitors from Sacramento. PLACENTIA POINTERS. Mr. James East is visiting his son at Pasadena. Perry Woodward has gone to work with Baxter Brox., baling hay. School closed on Friday last with appropriate exercises—a credit to the pupils as well as the teachers. The literary society met on Friday evening. A part of the school program, the Hoop vineyard, and had succeeded in stretching them out about four miles, driving them two by twos, with the leaders setting a rapid pace ahead, when McPherson came rushing out, waving his hat, and telling him that he could not drive his sheep that way. The uphot of the whole business was that the sheep stampeded and broke into the vineyard. McPherson brought suit against Smith, but the latter was acquitted, on showing that the sheep were going along the road all right, until stampeded into the vineyard by McPherson. The suit cost Mac sixty dollars, and Unole Billy made his escape by paying Montgomery a legal fee of $10. The vineyard had very few sprouts after the sheep were driven out of it. The crop was rather scarce that season, and a few years after the vines contracted the vine disease and died. BIRTHDAY PARTY. One of the most enjoyable social affairs of the season was the Cinderella and Salmagundi party given by Miss Cora Lewis at her parents' residence last Wednesday evening, the event being in honor of her birthday. After the guests arrived a measure was taken of each lady's foot to see which should wear Cinderella's slipper, the distinction falling to Miss Retta Smith, she having a foot that would cause Trilby to weep with green-eyed and expiring envy. The prize was an elegant pair of satin slippers. At half past nine the game of Salmagundi began. The tables were as follows: Table No. 1 was devoted to euchre, and table No. 2 to needles. This trick was to see who could thread the most needles. It was amusing to see the gentlemen threading them, but some of the bachelors seemed to be quite expert at it. Table No. 3 was dominos, No. 4 Hearts and No. 5 Angling. This latter caused a great deal of amusement, an electric button being attached to the fish pond and when one thought he had caught a big fish the current was turned on so strong that with a yell both fish and hook were dropped, but in spite of the shocks there were some who proved themselves excellent anglers. Table No. 6 was potatoes. This trick was to lift from the table a very large potato on the smallest of tea spoons, a trick that was accomplished by but a few. Table No. 6 was Life of Mishaps, No. 7 Patent Medicines, and No. 8 Old Maid. The ladies' and gentlemen's first prizes were won by Miss Sophia Rimpau and Mr. Will Smith, and the boobies were captured by Miss Fanny Higgins and Mr. Ed.Ware of San Gabriel, the prize being a book entitled, "What I know of Salmagundif" and on opening it he found that he knew nothing about it, the book being a blank. After the game a game of refreshments were served, and later Mr. F.Purdy in a few well chosen words presented Miss Lewis with a beautiful gold ring as a token of esteem from her many friends. After wishing fair hostess many happy returns of the day the guests departed for their homes. Mr. McFadden stated that the gentleman having in charge the Fullerton cannery had somewhat changed their previous arrangements in regard to the establishment of a gentleman at that place. A gentleman from his capital, has been interviewed by his projectors, and it is probable that he will induce to invest in the enterprise. The matter is still in embryo and nothing has been definitely decided upon. A number of fruit growers have signed their willingness to donate one-fourth their crop to the cannery for two years, provided they receive the market price for its remainder of the crop. Mr. Cargill reported that he had been proached by a committee having a subscription list asking for signers to the extent $6,000 in cash and fruit, and the subscription to be presented to some party would use the money to erect and maintain a cannery. This proposition was looked upon with favor. Should there be required amount of stock be taken, it would seem to be better plan for the subscribers to own the plant themselves. The by-laws relating to the requirement that six members constitute a quorum would change to read that four members are sufficient for that purpose. It was ordered that the regular meeting of the board be held on the second Thursday of each month. A report reached the Chamber to the effect that it was the intention of the residents Fullerton to organize a Chamber there. It wasthe opinion ofthe Chamber that it is a mistaken idea to inaugurate many of these organizations, and doubtful more good could be accomplished by united efforts ofthe people to encourage Chamber here and work forthe best interests of all concerned than it two organizations existed. It was ordered that a circular letter forwarded to leading citizens of this sect setting forththe objectsofthe Chamber containing also a copyofthe by-law Messrs.Fowler and Faywere appointed committee to preparethe circular. A committee consisting of one Director from each district was appointedto process additional members,and use every endeavorto advancethe interestsofthe Chamber. The Secretary was requestedto send notice to members announcingthat duess arethe initiationfee are now payable. The following permanent committees were appointed: Transportation — Cargill, Whitaker and Fowler. Manufactures—Fowler,Fay,McFadden, Irrigation — McFadden,Benchley and Whitaker.

The license rate is $20 per year for bar rooms in incorporated cities, and $300 for those outside. -Some of the largest as well as most luscious strawberries we have ever seen were found on the editorial table Saturday morning, Mr. W.W. Scott, whose fine place east of town shows what perseverance will do in this greatest of all countries, having entered the sanctum during our absence and decorated the table with a couple of boxes of berries, and abstracted himself before we had time to retaliate.

Huntington of this district caused the arrest of T. Anderson of Placentia on a charge of importing 2,000 orange trees that had not been subjected to the necessary investigation for scale. The trees came from San Bernardino and had black scale. Judge Landell fined Mr. Anderson $20. Mr. Huntington believes in truth of the old adage, that eternal vigilance is price of safety, and is making a painstaking and efficient public official. Mr.Anderson's transgression was of course due to the fact that he was not posted upon the requirements of the law, which is necessary to protect ourselves from the importation of injurious insect pests. -Some malicious person entered the premises of William Schwenckert on West street some nights ago, during that gentleman's absence, and unrooted a young hedge of cypress trees about a year old planted near the house. A year or so ago some of the large walnut trees on the place were chopped with a batchet so badly that it was thought they would die, and the same person is suspected. It is difficult to imagine one so lost to all sense of decency as to do these things, PERSONAL MENTION. Wm. Koenig is sojourning at Arden Hills on January 8th treatment for nervous prostration.

While wrestling with a keg of nails at Dickel's store a few days ago, our young friend Lochman had the bad luck to fall and strike his lower lip against the keg, sending the upper incisors through the lip and making a very painful wound. The Supervisors have decided to open a county road running north from the West End schoolhouse to connect with Orange thorpe avenue, and have allowed Ernest Browning $35 and Mr. Deethman $25 for right of way. On Monday they declared the road a public highway. A Chamber of Commerce was organized at Fullerton last Saturday evening, and the following gentlemen were elected as officers: A. McDowell, President; G. A. Ruddock, Vice President; Elder Johnson, Secretary; W. Starbuck, Treasurer. Directors—B. F. Porter, L. B. Benchley, Ed Amerege, Jake Stern, W. M. McFadden. Herman Stern informs us that he will put in a public watering trough on the Los Angeles street side of his store, provided the City Council will grant him the privilege of constructing the same on the thoroughfare. He will apply for a permit to do so at the next meeting of the board. The establishment of the trough is one of public necessity, and Mr. Stern is to be congratulated for his enterprise in offering to provide the same. The card of A. D. Porter will be found in our advertising columns this morning. Mr. Porter is one of the most expert carpenters in the country, and is now engaged in giving the finishing touches to Mr. Hausen's residence in Orangethorpe, architecturally one of the finest residences in the county. Those in need of his services will do well to consult with him for any kind of work in his line. A quartet of male and female "voices" from beyond the raging Santa Ana, drove through town last Sunday evening, and judging from the obscene remarks made by one of the dammsels the crowd had evidently ibted too freely of the flowing bowl. Their conduct was disgraceful, and they should have been home under the protecting wing of their fond mammas. Girls, girls, you make us tired. Clarence Parker carried off the prize at the turnment of the Los Angeles gun club Sunday, breaking 19 of the 20 blue rocks shot at by each contestant. Clarence is probably the best all-around shot in Southern California. His first feat, that brought him fame years ago, was to stand between two quail on the plains and let them rise and he would get them both. Clarence has an eagle eye. Mr. W. H. Bailey, owner of the Olinda ranch, writes to renew his subscription, and adds: "I get much information from THE GAZETTE, and prize it highly. I congratulate Orange county on its increasing prosperity, and am sharing in it through my ownership of the Olinda ranch. Is the sugar factory to be built in the near future? I hear rumors that effect. Once established and properly conducted, it will be a grand success unless all precedents fail." The palatial residence of Mr. Guus Hansen on Orangethorpe avenue is rapidly nearing completion, and already gives evidence of superb architectural beauty. The grounds have been artistically arranged for a garden and lawns, and when completed will be most Some malicious person entered the premises of William Schwenckert on West street some nights ago, during that gentleman's absence, and uprooted a young hedge of cypress trees about a year old planted near the house. A year or so old some of the large walnut trees on the place were chopped with a batchet so badly that it was thought they would die, and the same person is suspected. It difficult to imagine one so lost to all sense of decency as to do these things, and Mr. Schwenckert informs us that a gun loaded with backstok awaits another visit of the person whom he has good grounds to suspect. His family have arrived from Los Angeles and have taken up their residence on the old homestead. An egg famine seems imminent as a result of the low prices prevailing for that commodity, and thousands of eggs are being placed in cold storage in Los Angeles in an attempt to corner the market. No eggs could be found in town on Saturday, and prices went up a cent or two a dozen. A buyer down from Los Angeles in the evening desired to purchase fifty to seventy-five crates, with none offered. It costs half a cent a dozen per month to keep eggs in cold storage, and it is necessary to turn them every few days. It is the intention to keep them until November, when prices will be higher, and when they will probably be retained in the Angelic markets as fresh ranch eggs. They must be used inside of a week after being taken out, or they spoil. Meantime owners of poultry throughout the country will look at this attempt at cornering the market with no little satisfaction, as the tendency has already been to a sharp raise in prices. While in Los Angeles the other day we stepped into the Farmers and Merchants Bank, that hive of industry which does more than any dozen other business places to keep the business of the upper part of Main street from going into complete collapse. While the town is gradually growing toward the south and west, this financial institution, which has stood the test of panic as few others, and ranks among the great banking houses of the country, remains in its old premises, and its volume of business seems to be upon the increase all time. Dozens of clerks, accountants and officials are kept busy constantly, attending to the wants of the patrons of the institution. Mr. Hellman walks out from his private office, limping and using a cane. He submitted to an operation of the foot in Germany last year, going across the water to get the best of medical skill, and while he was greatly relieved and for a long time thought himself permanently cured, has recently had some trouble with his foot and has to use a cane while walking. We meet Mr. Fleishmann, the newly elected cashier, and our old friend Gus Heimann, assistant cashier. The Farmers and Merchants is a great institution, and a credit to Los Angeles, and we only wish we could get away with as much of the money in sight as we could conveniently carry with no one after us except Mr. Hellman and his sore foot and his cane. We have had a call from Lon Seeman of Garden Grove, who feels aggrieved at the connection of his name with his brother's arrest one evening last week, and who assures us he had nothing whatever to do with taking the buggy robes on the evening in question. He assures us he requested his brother to let the buggy robes alone, and is of the opinion that his brother continued in taking them more in spirit of a lark than anything else. He accompanied his brother to jail to be with him, he tells us not caring to have him go to jail alone, and in the Mr. Fay prepared a letter to charge all matters looking to an adjustment of the disagreement, has been forwarded to the telegraph in San Francisco. Mr. Fadden stated that the gentlemen charge the Fallerton cannery have not changed their previous arrangement to the establishment of a place at that place. A gentleman from whom he is here seeking investment capital, has been interviewed by the bank, and it is probable that he will be invested in the enterprise. The still in embryo and nothing has yet entirely decided upon. Mr. Gus Hansen on Orangethorpe avenue is rapidly near completion, and already gives evidence of superb architectural beauty. The grounds have been artistically arranged for a garden and lawns, and when completed will be most beautiful to behold. Mr. Hansen is an enthusiastic admirer of the manifold advantages of this section, and the transformation scenes enacted on his tract of land are evidences of his enterprise. A. D. Porter is the architect, and is doing the carpenter work in his usual excellent style. While attempting to get into his cart which had been hitched in front of this office on Tuesday forenoon, Mr. Reiser was so fortunate as to miss catching the lines, when his house turned suddenly, upsetting the vehicle and throwing him violently to the ground. The animal dragged the overturned cart some distance, kicking viciously meanwhile, but was caught by bystanders, and was thrown to the ground, when the cart was unhooked and disengaged from the harness. Mr. Reiser escaped with a severe shaking up. Both cart and harness were considerably demolished. The advertisement of Seale and Porter, the new cash grocery firm, who will open up the early part of next week with a new stock of groceries in the premises formerly occupied by Boyd & Sons, in the Back's block, will be found in another column this morning. Both gentlemen are too well known to require any extended introduction at our hands, having resided in the community for years past, and acquired reputations for honesty and fair dealing second to none. Their stock of groceries will be fresh and well selected, and the new firm will no doubt enjoy a liberal share of the patronage of the public. The recently adopted liquor ordinance now in force in this county forbids the sale of liquor within one hundred yards of any school, county, municipal or church building, and forbids the peddling or selling of liquors within the county, in any quantities whatever, except at a fixed place of business, duly licensed under the ordinance. In looms outside of incorporated cities liquor may be dispensed only in a single room, on the ground floor, fronting on the street, containing no card, billiard or pool tables, and no game or device will be permitted in the room or any room adjoining controlled by ranch, writes to renew his subscription, and adds: "I get much information from THE GAZETTE, and prize it highly.

On Monday morning of last week Will McFadden, Ed Johnson and Ed Mauldy of Fullerton had an exciting experience at Rivera with an irate brakeman on one of the Santa Fe freight trains. They had been to Los Angeles and intended to return home on Sunday evening, but missed the train. They remained in the city over night and got aboard the early south-bound freight Monday morning, being desirous of going to work at packing oranges at Fullerton that day. They were seated upon one of the cars, and when near Rivera while the train was running at considerable speed, the brakeman hove in sight and proceeded to eject the boys. He kicked one of them twice in the back, and threw him violently to the ground, seriously injuring him. The two other boys were also thrown from the car but were not injured. The young men reached Fullerton on a late train. The next day their friends came near mobbing the brakeman on his return up from San Diego. On reaching home they injured young man was compelled to take to his bed, and a doctor was summoned as a result of the injuries received. The Santa Fe officials called upon him following day to ascertain the extent of his injuries. The young men had no intention of evading payment of their fares and an action for damages may be brought against the company. That popular store called Red Front, Santa Ana is showing a big line of summer clothing for men folks. Their line of blue flannel suits Mohair coats and vests and other summer garments are just what is wanted now, and the prices are within the reach of all. Read their new advertisement.

He also informs us that he was not with the crowd of tough youngsters who came into town that evening. There has been no intention on our part to accuse Mr. Seeman unjustly,and we regard his statement of wrong doing as satisfactory and complete. We have known of him and his family for many years; were surprised to hear of the arrest,and hope that hereafter，when he comes to town,his name may not be associated with evil in any way.
