The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY, Henry Kuchel. Charles Kuchel. EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY...AUGUST 8, 1895 JAKE YAEGER'S jury evidently thought that the $125 which he recovered from the Bankers' Alliance insurance company for an injury to his hand was quite sufficient remuneration for the injuries he sustained through Engineer Kaota's mistake in running his train into an open switch at Orange and applying the emergency brakes with such force as to throw him out of his seat and break the tenth rib near the spinal column on his right side; for after being out eight hours, they surprised everybody who looked for a judgment against the railroad as a matter of course, but not those who had watched the case closely or heard the evidence, by returning a verdict for the railroad company. One report about the jury is to the effect that seven thought Jake ought to have something, and that five were set against him getting anything, and after arguing it out for a sufficient length of time to constitute a good day's work, they all concluded it would be better to award Jake nothing and adjourn and go home. In court during the taking of the testimony for the defense, it looked as though they were making Jake earn all he would probably get. Four expert physicians from Los Angeles, including the angelic Dr., Kurtz, had him stripped to the skin, while subjecting him to an examination to learn the extent of his injuries. They prodded his side with a galvanic battery, while Jake flinched under the sting of its magnetic current, and they afterward pronounced his injuries nil. Jake's taking out an insurance policy, four months after the accident, when he represented himself as being hale and hearty, free from amment, able to earn $100 per month, and acceptable in every way to the requirements of the company, was, however, the telling feature of the case against him, and it seemed impossible after that to understand how it was possible for him to recover much if anything against the road. This testimony was not introduced at the first trial of the case a year ago, and singularly enough was not unearthed until a day after the beginning of the present case. The expenses of the case, including the jury fees and stenographer's salary, which must be borne by the plaintiff, will aggregate probably $750, while the railroad itself has been put to no little expense as well. Mr. Chynoweth, of counsel for plaintiff, informs us that he will probably ask the court to grant him a new Board returned it with the statement that the amount was not right. The railroad company sent it back, acknowledging their mistake, and saying that $900 was the amount due. But so closely had the Executive Board kept watch over all the cars hauled over this as well as the other roads, that they promptly returned the voucher again, with the request that the railroad company "dig up," and at the meeting of the board on Tuesday, an acknowledgment was received that $1,200 was really the amount due, and saying the preceding figures had been arrived at by error. This is near the proper amount due, and we understand the matter is now in course of final and satisfactory settlement. This illustrates the power of the concerted orange growers, and these rebates should cement them as nothing else can. Four thousand dollars of accumulated rebates were last week divided among the different associations comprising the exchange, making a total of $10,000, a dividend of six thousand having been previously declared. The total amount of these rebates will not be known for some weeks yet—possibly not until winter—but when they come, as come they must, they will doubtless prove to be very acceptable indeed to the orchardists. The hearing of the petition of the Directors of the irrigation district for a decree finally dissolving the district has been deferred in the Superior Court until the 5th of September. The decree was looked for on Thursday last, but a demurrer on the part of Collector Witte, who claims an amount of back salary aggregating $400 and upwards, was interposed, and Judge Towner will hear the case involving dissolution immediately after terminating the case of the San Joaquin irrigators against James Irvine. September 5th has accordingly been fixed as the time for hearing the case, and until such time as the decree may be finally ordered by the court, matters will be in statu quo. It is announced that the Yorbas have no objection to the dissolution of the district. Attorney Keech's reported objections to that course having been taken on his own responsibility. Mr. Keech considers himself due $500 for legal services furnished by Yorbas in a condemnation suit sought to have been brought long ago against their water rights by the district, but as the same was never brought in court, nothing ever came of it. Some months ago, when it was announced the district would be disorganized, he sent in a bill for $500 for services rendered in this case. The bill was promptly dissallowed, and as it is still regarded as in the nature of a grab at the treasury, will not be paid. This salary grab may or may not be the ground of the gentleman's objection to the disorganization, but as the funds in the district treasury are now settling below ot counties will be cited to appear cause why they should not be re- So far as can be learned the order show a reduction from last year's put up the claim that the reduced value is in keeping with tion of the cash values.

LEFT HER FAMILY A NEBRASKA WOMAN'S GET OUT OF SIG The most presumptions bit of plagiarism of the year appears to be the story of "Water Vail's Blacksnake," by H. W. Patton, printed in the Los Angeles Capital of Saturday last. The story is displayed prominently on the first page and is signed by the alleged author in an evident attempt to attest its originality. The fabric is stolen from an item printed in the New York Sunday Sun of July 14th, under the caption of "Women in Journalism," and credited to the woman's edition of the Chenango (N.Y.) Telegraph, as follows: Our townsman, William B. Andrews, one day recently was walking along the banks of the Ganasawea Creek casting a saundwich, and on account of the mutual disparity between bread and meat he threw the redundant piece into the water. Immediately a school of large fish, mostly perch, bubbled around it fighting for the mouth. Mr. Andrews searched his pockets for fish line and hook, but all in vain, and was beginning to dispair when his eyes lighted on a blacksnake. At that moment he remembered how his father used to tell him that blacksnakes were more catching fish. He therefore grabbed the aquiline by the tail, carried it to the creek, and held it over the struggling fish. The snake proved itself a born angler, and in the course of an hour Mr. Andrews had captured forty-nine fish. A few days later as he was walking in the same place he felt something rub against his leg, and looking down he saw his friend the blacksnake, eager for more sport. Here is the version of the Capital's plagiarist: Genial Walter Vail, the Cattle King, has returned from a sojourn in Arizona and has sought the cooling breezes of Catalina. On his way over on the steamer he was noticed to take care of a long, flat box, partially covered with wire netting. Being asked what the box contained, he raised the lid and disclosed a very long blacksnake of Arizona. Mr. Vail said: "This is the most wonderful snake on the continent. It not only saved my life, but will enable me to win a case of wine, which I bet with Jim Mellus, that I would tell the best fish story told on the island this summer. This story also possesses the merit of absolute truth here as the snake to prove." "Finally I heard a rustling noise, and looking around saw this snake. It suddenly occurred to me that I once heard Charles McDary tell of a blacksnake winding its tail around a limb and dropping its head beneath the water, soon emerge with a fish in its mouth. This gave me an idea and up behind the snake it caught it by the tail and dropped its head and greater portion of its body into the stream and waited for a bite. I soon got one but in my excitement jerked so hard that the fish was forced from the snake's mouth and dropped back into the water. The most prowessful look I ever got came from the snake expressing eyes. I tried time caught a fine smoker, and to condense the story, the snake and I caught twenty-seven nice fish in less than an hour. I built a fire and broiled the fish over the coals, and I can safely say I never enjoyed a meal so much. The snake lingered around and I gave him all he could eat. The next morning I fell something nudle again after laying and there was Mr. Snake ready for another fishing expedition." And a half page more of corroborative evidence of the case against him, and it seemed impossible after that to understand how it was possible for him to recover much if anything against the road.

Mr. Chynoweth, of counsel for plaintiff, informs us that he will probably ask the court to grant him a new trial, and failing to obtain that an appeal to the higher court is more than likely.

"The next morning I felt something rubbing against my leg, and there was Mr. Snake ready for another fishing expedition." And a half page more of corroborative detail! Now this is all very stupid indeed, and an act likewise of literary piracy of uncommon depravity. The writer who would unblushingly attempt to palm it off as his own composition, over his own signature, prominently displayed in his own newspaper, must be a literary larcenist with very little scruple—with the assurance that comes of long addiction to the practice; and the paper that would print it as such must be pretty hard up indeed for stuff to fill up on. "Such kind of borrowing as this, if it be not bettered by the borrower, among good authors is accounted plagiary." The whole thing is tough on Vail. Although the refrigerator car rebates on oranges shipped by the various fruit exchanges are a very welcome thing to the orchardista, yet a very intricate system of bookkeeping is necessary to keep track of every car entitled to rebates, as well as the number of miles hauled over each of the separate railroads (separate accounts having to be kept for each road hauled over); and next year probably a man will have to be employed to attend to nothing but these matters. The rebates are paid at the rate of 1½ cents per mile over each of the railroads traveled over. Thus a car may leave Southern California over the Southern Pacific or Santa Fe, be transferred to the Rio Grande, Union Pacific, Rook Island, Illinois Central, New York Central, or Erie, and separate accounts must be kept of the mileage of each car over each of the roads traveled over. Some days ago the Executive Board received returns from one of the Eastern railroads announcing that $600 of rebates had been allowed the Exchange from cars hauled over that road. The Executive WHAT TAXES WILL BE FIGURES FIXED BY THE STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION—SOME COUNTS WILL BE CITED FOR A RAISE. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 5.—The State Board of Equalization completed its work of railroad assessment to day. The values in nearly every case are the same as last year. Where they have been increased it is owing to the fact that additional miles of road have been added during the year. The roads that are valued the same as in 1894 are as follows: California Pacific, $2,000,000; Central Pacific, $13,000,000; Northern California, $275,000; Northern Railway, $3,100,000; San Francisco and North Pacific, $1,935,000; Southern California, $2,950,000; Carson and Colorado, $230,000; Nevada, California and Oregon, $110,000; Pacific Coast, $350,000; Gualala River, $50,000; California and Nevada, $92,000; Pajaro Valley, $150,000; San Francisco and San Mateo, $150,000; Pullman Pacific Car Company, quarter interest with Central Pacific and Southern Pacific, $110,500; Pullman Palace Car Company, entire mileage over Southern California and Atlantic Pacific, $31,140. The following roads show a slight increase: Southern Pacific, from $16,000,000 to $16,-250,000; North Pacific Coast, from $600,000 to $650,000; Southern California Motor Road, from $72,000 to $60,000. A decrease. Commencing to morrow and up to and including September 2, the board will be occupied with comparing and equalizing the various county assessments. Quite a number ot counties will be cited to appear and show cause why they should not be raised. So far as can be learned the counties that show a reduction from last year's assessments put up the claim that the reduction in assessed value is in keeping with the depreciation of the cash values. In many cases farms have decreased 50 per cent in the last two years. Farms that are mortgaged, owing to the low price of products, will not pay the taxes and interest. The banks, instead of foreclosing, are given the mortgagers an extension of time. They do not want the property for the debt, it would be a losing proposition. BUENA PARK ITEMS. A notable event took place Sunday morning at the Whitaker homestead, and on Monday when it was known that it was a boy, the new papa, J. Harry Whitaker, had to set up the cigars, and when Conrad appeared, nothing would do but a "keg of sarsaparilla and iron" to strengthen the health of the little stranger. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stroud of Cucamonga, Miss Kate Stroud of Oshkosh, Wis., and Mr. and Mrs. Bent of Westminster gave a surprise to Mr. and Mrs. John Wright last Friday. They were treated right royally and after supper they all took a moonlight ride toward the sea to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bent. Most of the families have returned from the seaside. A visit to "Governor" Whitaker's three-year-old twenty acre ranch is convincing proof of what can be done successfully in this vicinity, as he is already gathering the fruits of his labor—the finest of white nectarines, luscious peaches, juicy apples, fine large prunes and his orange trees look splendidly. The Governor is preparing to build, and is laying out his grounds. The avenue also begins to show his attention by being cleared of weeds. Mr. John Tennant has purchased a lot of J. A. Whitaker and is building a very pretty cottage. The buildings at Coyote Heights are assuming enlarged proportions. A new barn 250x150 feet is completed. Work has begun on the enlargement of the house, which will be a typical California home. Another enterprising citizen is Mr. Yerxa, and a street sprinkler will soon be in operation through his suggestion and the co-operation of the farmers. The condensed milk and coffee factory is ranning very successfully. They are now fully equipped with first-class machinery and men who understand their business. The milk is a perfect success, and the butter is delicious. Mr. A. W. Whitaker has just sold a lot of fat hogs to Brunawicker of Fullerton. Good feed makes good pork. A party went from here to Bolsa Chica for a clam chowder last Wednesday, and report a fine time. The L. M. A. S. met at Mrs. Henry C. Archibald's last week, and adjourned for two months. The next meeting will take place the second Friday in October. LEFT HER FAMILY. A NEBRASKA WOMAN'S EFFORTS TO GET OUT OF SIGHT. REAL ESTATE SALES. For the Week Ending Aug. 6, 1895. J. A.

Henry Jesson and wife to the Commercial two years she has been his wife by written contract, but the fact of this marriage they kept a secret. Now the contract marriage has been supplemented by an open ceremony,duly licensed,a Presbyterian clergyman tying the knot. The news has given the fashionable circles of San Francisco,Santa Cruz Lake and Napa counties more to talk about than they have had for many a day for not only are circumstances of the case exceedingly sensational,b but the bride is widely known in this city where she has resided for years and occasionally resides even now,and she maintains establishments in Napa,Lake and Santa Cruz counties.Her husband，William Dalzell，is a farm-laborer who has been in her employ for years,and the lady's sons are said to be furious over the union. Mrs.Dalzell is a granddaughter of George C.Yount,a noted pioneer of Californiawho entered what is Napa county as early as 1831. WAS A HIGH ROLLER. GAVE WINE SUPPERS TO YOUNG WOMEN WHOM HE ESCORTED TO BALL GAMES,and IS NOW IN JAIL. PROVIDENCE (R.I.) Aug.6.-For a whole year,或 during his entire freshman term.all boys at Brown University have wondered where Benjamin Jones got his money.Hew was reputed to be the fastest gambler in the college.The played poker recklessly,made bets of$50 without turning a hair,and gave champagne suppers to young womenwhom he used to escort to college ball games.Sill they were-not suspiciousof him because they knew he was connected with some ofthe best families in the city and high in banking circles.Bit it is all explained now that Jones is in Attleboro Jailchargedwith an array of crimes that would appall a criminal with half a century's career in wickedness. The slick crook was captured yesterday at Attleborostationwhere she was tryingto raise money on stolen rebate checks.Here resistedand tried to use a revolver.“Benjy’s”house was the site.Out in the barn were two bicycles.The floor of one of the roomswas apparently an inch thick with postage stampsand railroad tickets were onthe chairsand desksThere were some souvenir spoons and close at hand numerous boxesof cigars,some excellent brands,too,for the tasteof the criminal in this matter showed evidencesof cultivation.Considerable jewelryw was spread about.Aside from these crimes Jones is wanted in Providenceand other places in Rhode Island for enteringrailroad stations.postofficesand stores. The postoffice at Fall Village was brokeninto,the safe opened,and stamps worth several hundreds of dollars taken fourmonths ago.Twice within a month High street and Plainville stations have beenbroken into.The four visits netted the intruder nearly$4,000. “It is the best patent medicine in the LEFT HER FAMILY. A NEBRASKA WOMAN’S EFFORTS TO GET OUT OF SIGHT. Boston, Aug. 6.—Mrs. Annie M. Gardner, the delegate to the Christian Endeavor convention who so mysteriously disappeared, is not dead. The knowledge of this fact will be a source of relief to the husband in Arcadia, Neb., to whom she wrote just previous to her disappearance to the effect that she was dying and to whom some person, signing the name of “G. A. Brown,” afterwards wrote, describing the death and burial of Mrs. Gardner. It has been discovered that Mrs. Gardner, instead of stopping in South Boston during the convention, stopped at Cambridge under an assumed name. She traveled under the name of Dorothy Mansfield and was known by no other name during her stay in Boston. Everything now points to a deliberate plan on the part of the woman, from the time she reached Boston, to abandon her husband and three children and to begin life anew under a new name. This is the more peculiar because her domestic life was supposed to be especially happy. Mr. Gardner next move appears to have been to apply at a well-known teachers agency for a position. She selected one of the places which was open and made arrangements to leave at once for that place, which was in Connecticut. She then appears to have written the pathetic letter to her husband, telling him that she was ill and commending him and the children to the care of God. The next day she appears to have gone to a clerk in a stationery store and had him write the letter signed “G. A. Brown,” telling of the death and burial of Mrs. Gardner. With her family thus disposed of Mrs. Gardner sold her return ticket to Nebraska to a scalper, bought a ticket and bad her trunk checked at the New York and New England depot and dropped out of sight. So far as can be ascertained there was no man in the case. CHASED BY A RATTLER. EXCITING EXPERIENCE OF A HUNTER — THE BIGGEST SNake EVER KILLED IN MENDOCINO. Ukiah, August 5.—S. D. Paxton of this city has not yet recovered from the effects of a race with a rattler which occurred recently while he was out hunting. Mr. Paxton is an enthusiastic ornithologist, and possesses a unique and valuable collection of the birds of this county, as well as an interesting display of nests. Being an excellent shot, he rarely visits the woods without securing additional specimens. The other day Paxton was on a visit to his mountain ranch, about six miles west of this city. On his ride over the range he discovered what appeared to be a large and curiously constructed nest. It was built on top and in the center of a large patch of chaparral. Mr. Paxton dismounted and tied his horse to the branch of a pine tree, and entered the chaparral for the purpose of securing the nest. The undergrowth was very thick, and Paxton experienced considerable difficulty in making his way through the tangled brush. He was forced to crawl on his hands and knees for a portion of the way. When he reached the vicinity of the nest he arose J. M. More and wife to Magdalene V. Rubey—E of NW1 of SE1 of Sec. 12, T 15, R 11, 20 acres; $375.

One of the first steps toward the organization of all the bands of Southern California is to be made at Redondo Beach next Sunday, August 11th, when about twenty bands will meet to promote a feeling of good fellowship, and in competition for a list of prizes and prize pennants. To make the meet interesting and fair, each band will select two persons to act as judges and each band will play a military march and another selection of their own choice before the judges stand. The well-known cornet solosit, H.G.Bowen, has been engaged and will add greatly to the occasion. Mr.A.J.Stamm,the well-known leader, will conduct the consolidated bands in two selections，“The Star Spangled Banner,” and the March Militaire，“Our Italy,” a march composed and dedicated to our own Italy,Southern California. Never before has there been so large a number of bandmen together in Southern California,and with all bands consolidated playing“The Star Spangled Banner”at one time, ought to be enabling in the first degree. The bands will all meet at La Grande Station,Los Angeles,and from there take a special train which will be put aside for the bands only,and all go together to Redondo.Arriving therewill form in line and march to Hotel Redondo ,where the Director’sstand will be located.Each band will have its number and play in rotation before the judges,after which there will be an intermission until 2:30 p.m.,whenthe bands will all form en masse under the Directoroftheday.

The other day Paxton was on a visit to his mountain ranch, about six miles west of this city. On his ride over the range he discovered what appeared to be a large and curiously constructed nest. It was built on top and in the center of a large patch of chaparral. Mr. Paxton dismounted and tied his horse to the branch of a pine tree, and entered the chaparral for the purpose of securing the nest. "The undergrowth was very thick, and Paxton experienced considerable difficulty in making his way through the tangled brush. He was forced to crawl on his hands and knees for a portion of the way. When he reached the vicinity of the nest he arose and found himself within a short distance of an enormous rattlesnake, which, when coiled, very much resembled a nest. The instant Paxton's head appeared above the chaparral the reptile struck, but fell abort. Paxton then began an unceremonious retreat from his uncomfortable position. The snake followed. Paxton emerged from the chaparral a few feet ahead of the rattler and rushed for his horse. The reptile continued the pursuit and made such excellent time that the hunter found it impossible to untie the animal. He succeeded however in grabbing his rifle, which was leaning against the tree, and as the rattler coiled to strike, a well-directed bullet ended the scene. The snake measured five feet four inches in length, and was as large as a man's arm. It possessed eighteen rattles and a button, and was the largest reptile ever killed in the county. TO AGNES. WRITTEN BY MAUD WILMOTH. I. Under the roses and lilies, Under the violets blue, Under the silvery moonbeams, Under the fresh morning dew; Thou art laid there to rest, our sister, Thou art free from care and pain; Under the sod sweetly sleeping, Never to waken again. II. But thou'r happy in heaven. With those that have gone before, And we'll meet thee there, dearest sister, When the troubles of life are o'er. Like a flower that blooms in springtime, And in summer fades and dies, Waiting again for the springtime, Waiting, again to rise. III. So is thy life, dear Agnes, And thou'r with us no more; Like a flower thy soul has departed, Ere the springtime of life is o'er. The Reaper hath entered our household, And the sweetest flower he felled, But we know thou art happy with Him, dear, Who doeth all things well. 500 cords of wood. C Otto Rust.

Holders of California bonds of all classes in San Francisco are alarmed at the recent decision of Judge Ross of Los Angeles declaring the Wright irrigation law unconstitutional. Bankers believe that the decision, if it stands, will not only invalidate outstanding irrigation bonds, but that it will have like dissatisfaction upon all sorts of securities of the same character. The most serious phase of the case is that it may nullify the millions of dollars' worth of municipal bonds which have been issued by the various cities of the State to cover the cost of municipal improvements. The capitalists of the city will probably combine to appeal from Judge Ross's decision. Of $3,000,000 in irrigation bonds located by local capitalists, $2,000,000 are actually owned in San Francisco. The remaining $1,000,000 is held by German and Swiss capitalists. Tommy—Do you say you prayers every night? Jimmy—Yes. "And does your maw say hers?" "Yes." "And does your paw!" "Naw.

Was taken with La Gripe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live. Having Dr. King's New Discovery in my store I sent for a bottle and began its use and from the first dose began to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold. We won't keep store or house without it." Get a free trial at W. M. Higgins' drugstore. MARRIED HER MAN.
