LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. The Shortest Jury Trial on Record. It Takes a Jury Two Minutes to Find the Marshal of This Town Innocent of the Charge of Cruelty to Animals, in Killing a Dog Belonging to Mrs. Everharty, and Which Had Bitten Fred Crist in the Leg—Testimony Introduced to Show that the Dog was Victims—The Marshal Killed It With a Hologua Stick, and Testified He Exercised no Cruelty in Taking Its Life—Other Items—Meeting of the Water Board—Grand Celebration on the Fourth of July. It took a jury in Judge Pierce's courtroom yesterday morning just two minutes to find Frank Steadman innocent of the charge of cruelty to animals, which had been preferred against him by Mrs. J. J. Everharty, for killing a dog belonging to her. The dog was shown to be a vicious animal, and had bitten Fritz Crist in the calf of the leg on Tuesday morning. As Fritz was walking down Center street, the dog, which was following the hotel 'bus down to the Santa Fe depot, described a parabolic curve, and coming up with the object of its aim on the sidewalk, nabbed Fritz's leg, taking a piece out of his pants, and inflicting a wound which Dr. Bullard had later to cauterize. Fritz complained to the Marshal. The dog had bitten Spoert in the leg the day before, and this being the second complaint, the Marshal, in the exercise of his duty, proceeded to the hotel and asked where the dog was. He was told it was around the house somewhere, and shortly after found it at the stable. He asked assistance of the stable boy in catching the animal, but on being given a curt reply, went after the dog himself, and shortly caught it on the sidewalk near Dickel's store. It had been his intention to put it to death—gently, but firmly; peaceably if he might, forcibly if he must. The dog began yelping and snapping at him, and instantly its mate ran out and coming up to the officer, attempted to bite him at his heels. Steadman struck the dog he had with a bologna stick which he carried with him. The canine toppled over. The stick was broken. Taking up the splintered end of one of the pieces, he tapped the canine gently on the head with it, and sent up town by Billy Freise for the Morgue wagon. When arrested for thus plainly performing his duty, disagreeable though it must have thought one of the dogs was trying to bite Steadman. Arthur Lewis testified: I saw a crowd of people near the Commercial Hotel; looked out of my stable and saw Steadman hit the dog with a stick; the dog fell over dead; saw another dog after Steadman; looked as though the dog wanted to bite Steadman. Tim Boege testified: Yesterday morning about 9 o'clock I saw 'bus go to depot; the dog ran behind wagon; saw dog bite F. Crist. N. F. Steadman testified: Am Marshal of the City of Anaheim. Have seen the dog snap at people at different times. Yesterday morning I saw the dog bite Crist; Crist came to me and showed me the imprints of the dog's bite in his leg, and called on me to kill the dog; I went after the dog; asked Wetzel to help me catch him; Wetzel said I could catch the dog as easily as he could; had a stick with a rope attached on the end, running through a ring, to keep vicious dogs away from me if they wanted to bite, and was able to hold dogs away by means of the stick; saw Wetzel and asked him to whom the dog belonged; Wetzel said the dog belonged to the women folke at the hotel; I wanted to capture the dog and kill him, and said if Wetzel would not catch him I would go and get a gun and kill the dog; after a while I succeeded in catching the dog, and while he was trying to get away placed a rope over his head, after which the rope became detached from the stick and the dog tried to get away and another dog attempted to bite me; the second dog was at my heels; I then struck the dog with a stick and killed him; killed him instantly; I hit the dog after that a couple of times to make sure he was dead; I struck the dog hard the first time and killed him instantly; I did not use any undue cruelty to kill the dog; the dog was vicious and I think should be killed; I would not have killed the dog where I did if I could have gotten him away, but the second dog came running up behind me, snapping at my heels, and I had to kill the dog I had hold of. P. A. Derge testified: Saw a Shepherd dog follow 'bus when I was crossing Center street, near City Hall, Monday noon; the dog ran up and snapped at me, and torne my pants to the extent of a couple of inches; I had done anything to excite the dog or cause him to bite me; that was the same day the dog was killed. Juror Spencer asked Mrs. Everharty if she had ever heard of the dog having bitten anyone. She replied that she had heard of the dog biting Crist and had said she would see that the dog was killed as soon as Mr. Everharty came home, when he would attend to the dog; did not think it was proper for the Marshall to kill the dog in the manner he did. Oscar Luedeke testified: The狗 caught hold of my leg yesterday morning; did not do anything to provoke the dog's anger; did not provoke him; as I was crossing the street going to my place of business, the狗 ran across from the hotel and grabbed me by the pants; the狗 did not have a strong hold, and the teeth slipped off; thought the狗 intended to bite me; the狗 was the same as the one killed. Dr. J. H. Bullard testified: Treated THE WATER BOARD FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS PAYMENT MEN—OPTION AND THE LOT OWNED BY THE OLD CLAUDINA STREET. The water board met in regular Saturday; present, Amerige, Ryan, McFadden, Nebelung and Surveyor Keiffer submitted a sketch profile of the ditch running along the length of the Langenberger and Strodthoff which causes trouble by overflowing mer place by back-water when irrigation. To remedy this defect, they length of 800 feet ought to be cut which could be done at a cost of $30 question arising as to the company's for damages caused by overflow from vate ditch, the matter overwent action, the ditch committee to initiate in the matter further and report at meeting. A sketch of the ditch on Broadway in Southern Pacific depot, against the beet growers have lodged a complaint overrunning its banks and flooding of their dumping platform, was all mittened, showing the ditch to be a foot than the road and crossing Broadway in 450 feet. The overflow causes them to bog in the vicinity of the platform will interfere with the dumping on To cement the ditch will cost $520, capacity will be 300 inches. The dittoes are instructed to procure rights to avoid one ofthe Broadway crossing to invite bids for speedy construction work. Superintendent Sheppard was indicted to put in the crossing in the ditch in packing-house in Fullerton. Zanjero Littlefield reported that a necessary at Rea's northwest corner Superintendent was instructed to put bridge of old lumber. Mr. Amerige reported on work done Gray Bros. & Ward on the flumes as menting upper ditch. Everything been found to be correct except some excavating, for which a bill for $281, been put in. A report from Engineer who is in charge ofthe work for that pany, sayingthe extra work had been at his direction,was submitted,and putted bill was promptly allowed. Thousand dollars in bonds was paid to tractors,$1,300 for work atthe head ditch,and$2,700 for lumber and comm flumes 7 and 8.

The Superintendent reported that a man from San Pedro spinning oakthe calkingofthe flumes,andhewasinstructionsastothemannerinwhichworkshouldbe done.Mr.Eyman appearedbeforetheboo reference totheditchrunningthrough He asked assistance of the stable boy in catching the animal, but on being given a curt reply, went after the dog himself, and shortly caught it on the sidewalk near Dickel's store. It had been his intention to put it to death—gently, but firmly; peaceably if he might, forcibly if he must. The dog began yelping and snapping at him, and instantly its mate ran out and coming up to the officer, attempted to bite him at his heels. Steadman struck the dog he had with a bologna stick which he carried with him. The canine toppled over. The stick was broken. Taking up the splintered end of one of the pieces, he tapped the canine gently on the head with it, and sent up town by Billy Freise for the Morgue wagon. When arrested for thus plainly performing his duty, disagreeable though it must have been, he was greatly surprised, to say the least, but resolved to have an open jury trial, and see whether he would be supported by the people in killing the dog or not. As he was walking down the street a half hour or so after the dog had been dispatched, Judge Pierce came to the door of his emporium of justice, and in obedience to his duties as an officer of the peace, said: "Say, Steadman, if you see Groat, tell him to come down and serve this warrant on you." "All right," he replied, and went off and hunted up the officer to surrender himself to. The trial was held in Judge Pierce's court yesterday morning. City Attorney Chynoweth appeared for Steadman and Mrs. Everharty conducted her own case. The following jurymen were chosen: C. Spencer, J. L. Bush, W. Champlin, Lloyd Bailey, E. R. Amerige, J. W. Ogner, J. P. Zeyn, A. M. Williams, O. S. Devoe, Robert Parker, B. J. Perry, W. Michle. THE TESTIMONY. Mrs. Everharty, the complaining witness, sworn and testified: I saw Steadman beat the dog to death with a stick; no complaint had been made to me about the dog. Sport Wetzel testified: Steadman came to the barn about 9 o'clock and wanted to catch the dog; he asked me to catch the dog, but I said I could not; Steadman tried to catch the dog but could not; afterward he caught the dog on the sidewalk in front of Dickel's store; I saw him strike the dog twice after he was down, he hit the dog with a stick. Chas. Pressel testified: I was standing in my door at my blacksmith shop; saw Steadman put a rope on the dog; afterwards saw the dog dead; I saw Steadman raise a club over the dog, but did not see him hit the dog; did not see the dog killed. Dr. F. G. Flourney testified: I was in the barn; while there the Marshal came in and inquired for the dog which had bitten people; he asked the stable boy to catch the dog; the boy said he could not catch him; the Marshal said he would get a gun and kill the dog; after going up street the Marshal caught the dog and put a rope around his neck; the dog made an outtry, and another dog came after Steadman and tried to bite him from behind; the rope slipped from the dog's head; the dog tried to bite Steadman, whereupon he hit the dog and, as supposed, killed him; he hit him a couple of times after knocking him down. Attorney Chynoweth stated that the defendant did not deny killing the dog, but set forth that he was justified in so doing. He quoted from the statutes to substantiate his contention. Any poisonous reptile or animal which is dangerous to life or property and liable to injury, main or disable life, limb or property, he said, according to the law, shall be killed immediately. Dr. Flourney stated that he would as soon be bitten by a rattlesnake as by a vicious dog, or in fact any dog. Hydrophobia, the Doctor said, is a poisonous virus from a dog suffering from rabies, but a bite from any dog is dangerous and may cause fatal results; it is dangerous to be bitten by a dog at any time. Will Freise testified: I happened to be at the barn yesterday morning; Wetzel was there; Steadman came in with a stick, with attached to the end of a fence. Oscar Luedek testified: The dog caught hold of my leg yesterday morning; did not do anything to provoke the dog's anger; did not provoke him; as I was crossing the street going to my place of business, the dog ran across from the hotel and grabbed me by the pants; the dog did not have a strong hold, and the teeth slipped off; thought the dog intended to bite me; the dog was the same as the one killed. Dr. J. H. Bullard testified: Treated Crist in a professional way; found a punctured wound on his leg, evidently the bite of a dog; treated the wound as usual in such cases. The doctor recited a case, that of Mr. Roberts, wherein the victim nearly lost his life by being bitten by a dog; considered a dog bite—that is of a mad dog—dangerous; in California we do not have hydrophobia, which is caused by a mental strain, superinduced by a lack of water, heating of the blood, improper food or other causes; has known dogs to go mad in the middle of winter; dog bite is dangerous should secondary ailments set in, but is not so dangerous should the case be attended to at once; cauterized Crist's wound to prevent any serious danger. This closed the testimony, and the evidence being all in, the Judge looked up the law carefully, and said quietly and with deliberation: "If the jury find that this dog was a vicious animal, dangerous to life or limb; or that he was killed by defendant acting as an officer under the law; or that no cruelty was exercised in killing him, it is your duty to acquit." The crowd filed out of the overheated courtroom, and it being about noon, the Judge started off to dinner. He had gone no further than Helmsen's news store, and was standing talking to friends, when a knocking came at the door of the juryroom. Constable Groat asked if a verdict had been arrived at. Foreman Amerige answered yes; and Groat called to the Judge to return. On opening court the verdict was found to be "Not guilty," and the crowd which quickly gathered again filed out on the sidewalk. Steadman had walked over to his meat market, and was called to return. He thanked the jury, saying he had not exercised any cruelty toward the deceased canine, and was sorry to be mixed up in such a case. An enthusiastic by-stander proposed three cheers for him, but friends quieted him, not caring for any noise, and after all hands had been treated to refreshments at Wisser's restaurant, at the Marshal's expense they all went home to dinner, agreeing that the verdict was just, and that all dogs that run after people and bite them ought to be put to death.

Surveyor Keiffer submitted a sketch and file of the ditch running along the east line of the Langenberger and Strodthoff places, which causes trouble by overflowing the far place by back-water when irrigating the ditch. To remedy this defect, the ditch to be length of 800 feet ought to be cemented, which could be done at a cost of $300. The question arising as to the company's liability damages caused by overflow from a private ditch, the matter went over without notice, the ditch committee to investigate matter further and report at the next meeting. A sketch of the ditch on Broadway, near Southern Pacific depot, against which beet growers have lodged a complaint as running its banks and flooding the site their damping platform, was also submitted, showing the ditch to be a foot higher on the road and crossing Broadway twice 550 feet. The overflow causes the land in the vicinity of the platform, which interfere with the dumping of beets. cement the ditch will cost $520, and its capacity will be 300 inches.

Four thousand dollars in bonds was paid the contractors, $1,300 for work at the head of the canal, and $2,700 for lumber and cement on roads 7 and 8. Ryan called attention to the filling up of flume on the west side of his lemon drench, owing to imperfections in the level of the canal. To the Superintendent, the Superintendent reported that he had taken from San Pedro spinning oakum for walking of the flumes, and he was given instructions as to the manner in which the ditch should be done.

Jake Yaeger has filed notice of location of a townsite up in the Trabuca hills. To-morrow is the longest day of the year, and yesterday was one of the warmest. Joe Becher is down at the Landing putting up a summer cottage at the beach for Mrs. Strothoff. Would the cue offered by Prof. Frantz for the champion billiardist be called a barber-cue? The Ladies' Aid Society will sell ice cream and serve lunch July 4th in Reid's old drug store. The first load of apricots of the season was brought in to the dryer by Mr. Meyer Tuesday morning. The Sunday school children of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches picnic in Santiago canyon to-day. Sam Kraemer advertises good pasturage at his ranch northeast of town.

Nick Bitner has been appointed receiver in the foreclosure suit of H. R. Cooper of Orange vs. Sheldon Littlefield, involving property situation in this city. Frank Dyer reports the Landing as yet untenanted by summer visitors, but indications point to an early opening of the season. Frank is making arrangements to open a feed yard at the beach. George E. Boyd has taken the foremanship of the fruit dryer at the Sante Fe depot, and has now a force engaged pitilessly thinking he might be ill; but Nagle became angry for having been awakened and spoke harbably about it. He was irritating some days later, and that night dreamed of being on a stormy sea, so he told his friends. He soon became raving mad, and his insanity is believed to be the result of a spell of fever, from which he never fully recovered, superinduced probably from a cold caught while irrigating. He has a young orchard of orange trees, which look well, and was in quite comfortable circumstances. His father is at the place and will take care of it. A dance will be given at the Del Campo to morrow night by Mrs. J. K. Tuffree assisted by other ladies, the proceeds of which will be used to purchase a life boat to be kept at the Landing.

After getting through with this he will go up to the Kraemer ranch and on to the La Habra. William was in town yesterday and did a good turn by stopping Mr. Huginin's horse that started to run away while standing in front of the postoffice. Rev. Caballeria's horse became unmanageable, as she reverend gentleman was about to get into his rig in front of the postoffice on Monday afternoon, and succeeded in overturning the vehicle. Nothing serious occurred, and after righting the vehicle, with the assistance of by-standers, he proceeded on his way as though nothing had happened. A number of essays written by the graduating class will be found in this issue. One contains rather an ambitious attempt at allegory, several take rank as exceptionally well written attempts at discourse writing, and all are well worthy a perusal. The class poem contains many beauties of metrical composition, and with close study to the simple but inexorable rules governing versification, the youthful author will doubtless give us in future even a better sample of her ability in that line. Attention is directed to the change in Dr. Pordomo's advertisement, which will be found on the second page this morning. The Doctor is prepared to treat patients for enbiety, at his infirmary for the cure of the same, and his success as a physician warrants the conclusion that his efforts in line of curing enbiety will be similarly productive of good. Those in need of his services should call upon him and be convinced before applying elsewhere. Engineer Lum has been engaged on the upper ditch for some weeks past, superintending the construction of flumes 7 and 8 and the work of cementing the ditch up on A report from Engineer Lum, in charge of the work for the company, says the extra work had been done in the direction, was submitted, and the bill was promptly allowed.

Mr. Ryan called attention to the filling up of flume on the west side of his lemon creek, owing to imperfections in the level canal. To the Superintendent, he Superintendent reported that he had taken from San Pedro spinning oakmilk for walking of the flumes, and he was given instructions as to the manner in which the should be done. Eyman appeared before the board in front of the ditch running through his which he suggested should be cemented if it breaks continually and is in many sources of trouble and aggravation. He referred to the Superintendent. Nebelung brought up the complaint of an Wisser, owning twenty acres in the street, about 50x135, which he devised the board to give him an option upon. Growther suggested that the option for six months. Motion was lost, the vote being a tie, the Chairman voting no. Nebelung then moved that the lot reserved for $200. No second. Pierce wrote asking for an option lot. No action.

They are some elegant lines of ladies' and mess shoes at an exceedingly moderate quality and styles are superb. Whatever this popular store adver- bure relied upon to be exactly as they are. James and bacons kept on hand at Porter's new cash grocery. Mr. Cargill has asked for bids for the construction of a grain warehouse at Brookshurst, 40x96 feet, and contractor Porter is now jiguring on it. Mr. Cargill informs us that he expects soon to have a railroad and express agent at Brookshurst, which shows that the country is growing. John Wagner came in from his ranch yesterday to have some blacksmithing done, and was promptly subpoenaed by Constable Groat as a juryman. This is one of the disadvantages of civilization, but Mr. Wagner is too patriotic to make objection to it. He unhitched his team and prepared to stay a while. Mr. R. P. Marquez was in from Yorba the other day and made this office a pleasant call. He informs us that the residents of his section enjoyed the visit of a company of maromas, or circus del pais, the other day, and that the country generally is progressing well on the march of internal improvement. The report in our esteemed contemporary last Saturday that the Directors of the Water Company had "ordered their pictures printed in the GAZETTE," contains about as much truth as that other brilliant paragraph in the same article: "Engineer Kieffer's report regarding ditch near the beet dump was ordered cemented or piped." Frank Ey drove over from Santa Ana yesterday afternoon. He informs us that much interest is felt at the county seat regarding the many railroad rumors flying about, and he thinks dirt will be flying on the new road soon. Since leaving the Coroner's office and becoming a respectable citizen, Frank is giving his attention to real estate and is rapidly amassing a great fortune. While "shooing" out flies from his office with a towel the other day, Judge Landell struck the spot on the window occupied by one of them with such force as to knock the pane of glass to the sidewalk. Monday morning the Judge had to put in a new pane, and has resolved henceforth to exercise more care in getting rid of the little tormentors. The bicycle craze has struck town, and the wheels of the Semi-Tropic Cycle Company, which has opened an agency here, may be seen out any evening pedaling by joyous youngsters who are rapidly becoming experts in the art of wheeling the evening away. Mr. E. W. McColum has charge of the business, and is a very curious and accommodating gentleman, who will take pleasure in showing customers the virtues of the wheel. The agency is in the premises occupied jointly with Rebeir's jewelry store, where Mr. McColum will be found by those having business with him, or who want to see the beauties of the stock of wheels he has with him. His advertisement will be found in another column. William Nagle who owned a seven-acre tract of foot hill land up at Yorba, and some three hundred stands of bees, was overcome from the effects of sickness some days ago and developed traces of insanity. He was sent to the Highlands saylum. He was observed sleeping in the sun a week or so ago by a neighbor, who awoke him, Mr. W. H. McGarry has perfected a beet puller by which he is confident the laborious work of pulling beets will be reduced to one of the easiest things of the harvest. The new machine has been on exhibition at Schauman's blacksmith shop, where it has attracted unusual interest during the week. It is constructed after the fashion of the plow, with two prongs or shoes running along the ground on each side of the beet row, and lifts them gently from the earth, leaving them in a row convenient for picking up and loading in the wagon. Two horses will be able to pull the machine, and Mr. McGarry is of the opinion that it will pull three acres of beets per day. It has met with favor at Chino, and will no doubt be given a trial by the beet raisers in this vicinity. Tuesday afternoon Miss Lottie Brown entertained the class of '95. There were present Misses Edna Williams, Pauline Nemetz, Maud Wilmoth, Louisa Rinker, and Messrs Alfonso Fossek, Rudolph Fossek, Leslie Heald, Bert Elliott, Clarence White and Prof. Keran and the hostess, Miss Brown. The afternoon was pleasantly spent, with music, singing, reminiscences, plans for the future, etc., followed by a delicate lunch of ice-cream and cake. The following future plans were discussed and partially decided upon: Misses Lottie Brown and Pauline Nemetz will probably attend the Los Angeles high school; Alfonso Fossek and Bert Elliott the Santa Ana high school; Edith Bates the Fullerton high school; Leslie Heald the Throop Polytechnic Institute; Edna Williams will probably attend either the Santa Ana or the Los Angeles high school. The others of the class have not decided as to the immediate future. The members of the class reluctantly took leave of their entertaining hostess, realizing that such reunions will undoubtedly be few and far between in the hereafter. Arrangements have been made to have a class picture taken on Saturday. During the progress of the trial in Judge Pierce's courtroom yesterday, it developed that his Honor had not a list of witnesses in the case, and having called for Druggist Dergue, whose name had just been read off the list of witnesses by Constable Groat, and found him absent, he called to Groat just as that officer stepped out of the courtroom on the sidewalk. The name of another witness had been suggested, and the Judge wanted the Constable to call him. The court said: "Where is Groat." Viet Bentz was standing in the crowd that filled the sidewalk about the courtroom door, and in an endeavor to help the court along with the work as expeditiously as possible, called to Groat: "Groat, the Judge wants you to call Dergue." "I don't want Dergue now," said the Judge; "I want Groat; where is he?" "He's gone now," replied Bentz, and the crowd tittered. Pretty soon the good-looking druggist came in and testified that the dog had bitten a piece of his pants out, and while the dog had not reached the leg, still his intentions were undoubtedly good.

PERSONAL MENTION. Ex-Supervisor Joseph Yoch of Santa Ana was in town Tuesday afternoon renewing old acquaintances. Dr. Flournoy who recently located here with his family has opened an office opposite Derge's drug store. Mrs. Mowry, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. N. Hardin, arrived from San Francisco yesterday on a visit to her parents. Jake Stern went up to Los Nietos on Thursday and purchased and shipped five cars of corn. Jake is a rustler.

Mrs. Dominick Lieb leaves to-day for Conception, Mo., on a three months' visit to her mother. She takes the little child along, and Dominick will "batch" it. Ed Amerige leaves next week for the East, but he assures us it is not for the same purpose that took his brother George back to Boston a year or so ago. Quien sabe! Mr. A. T. Pendleton was in from Placentia on Tuesday and reports the walnuts coming on nicely, although the crop will be below the average. Miss Daisy Johnson, teacher of one of the intermediate grades in the public school, left on Tuesday for her home in the East, going in company of Mr. and Mrs. Seeger, who go to Iowa.

Prof. Garwood was in town one day last week, and is understood to have applied for the position of Principal of the public schools. The professor's stand on the high school, a couple of years ago, when he was instrumental in defeating it at the polls, while those who favored it took no energetic action looking to carrying the election, thinking no concerted action necessary, unfits him for the responsible position of Principal of the public schools, and it is whispered the School Trustees so regard it.

Mr. Lovering has one the extensive apricot orchards of this section, and the present crop is one of the finest ever raised on the trees. Prof. Garwood was in town one day last week, and is understood to have applied for the position of Principal of the public schools. The professor's stand on the high school, a couple of years ago, when he was instrumental in defeating it at the polls, while those who favored it took no energetic action looking to carrying the election, thinking no concerted action necessary, unifies him for the responsible position of Principal of the public schools, and it is whispered the School Trustees so regard it. Miss Fannie Higgins returned a day or two go from Grass Valley, where she attended the session of the grand parlor, N. D. G. W. The reports a royal good time during the two weeks of her absence, and says the people of northern California simply outdid themselves entertaining their guests—as why should they not, when the Native Daughters are the sweetest lot of femininity in a dozen States? When the grand parlor meets in Anaheim, our young men will see to it that the daughers never go home—they will marry them!; every last one of 'em! Gus Langenberger leaves on Monday for Guadalahara, Mex., where he will pursue his occupation of photography. Guadalahara is a city of 130,000 inhabitants, a hundred and twenty-five miles north of the City of Mexico. Gus has been engaged with Schuacher's Los Angeles studio for some months and has come to be an expert photographer. Samples of his work sent on ahead have secured for him a very tempting offer to go south, and he may go into business with the leading photographer of Guadalahara, or he may go in for himself. He will visit the City of Mexico first, and give some one to traveling over the country before settling down. Judge J. B. Pierce reports an enjoyable trip to San Diego, his first voyage south of the Orange county line since his residence of upwards of a score of years. San Diego's palatial residences and the large business blocks, in course of construction already completed, took the Judge's eye, and the fact that all the stores closed at sunown impressed him that business could not be very lively evenings. San Diego is a city identity—always looking ahead for a transitional railroad or isthmus canal, or going for a Cabrillo celebration; but when the Caragua canal is put through, the Judge knows the town will become one of great commercial activity. He drove out into the Pula Vista country, took a look at the Coado hotel from a distance, and regards the Brewster hotel as one of the finest he ever in. Mr. H. Deutsch was down from Los Angeles on Monday. He informs us that while we recent trip to Long Beach he learned that Don D. Spreckels had been on a visit to Bixby there, and in company of a gentleman from Chino, had driven over the beetles to the west of town. It is known that us Spreckels, who is now in Europe, has been over this section looking at the beetles, and that he was reported to be very curiously impressed with the character of soil. We have hitherto made the precondition that either Spreckels or the Oxnards put up a beet sugar refinery here, and the set of these sugar men would tend to corrodate that fact. Certainly they never such great beet fields as are now grow-out west. Mr. Deutsch informs us that electric road has applied for a franchise in Los Angeles to Whittier, and that it reading this way. We are to be a great way and sugar producing center. W. Kirby was in from Yorba on Tuesday... AT GREATLY - REDUCED PRICES! FOR CASH RIMPAU BROS. GO TO BOYD'S FOR YOUR Groceries and Provisions!
