The Directors of the water company met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; present, Messrs. McFadden (in the chair), Spencer, Nebelung, Crowther and Amerige. Under the reports of committees Director Amerige reported on the location of the new ditch at Fullerton, passing through his land, stating that it would probably cause large washes, and recommending that it be cemented. Engineer Rogers reported and recommended the change in the line, adding that it would be inexpensive to cement the ditch —some 1200 feet—but he recommended that if this be cemented, the cementing be continued for some 600 feet further. The cementing of the 1200 feet would cost probably $522, and the total cost of all the ditch about $750. The chair suggested that the report be made in writing and go over to await theof Santa Ana by his associates. The committee presented the following resolutions in open court on Monday: WHEREAS, The late Charles W. Humphreys, a member of this bar, and for many years the trusted friend and acquaintance of its members and of this court, has been called from his practice before earthly tribunals to practice in the Supreme Court of the Universe, and WHEREAS, We who knew him while one of us recognized in him a true type of manhood, a trusted advisor and counselor, a friend of the needy, ever ready to assist the poor, ever ready to reach forth his hand to raise the fallen, or to give to him good counsel and seek his reform. A just and upright man, a good citizen, beloved by his family, his business associates and friends; therefore, Resolved That we, the Orange county bar, feel that a good man has been taken from us, and that we mourn his loss, and as a testimony of our regard of our late brother, Charles W. Humphreys, be it further. Resolved That a copy of these resolutions be spread at large on the records of the Honorable Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Orange, and that an engrossed and certified copy, under the seal of this Court, be transmitted to his family, and also that these resolutions be furnished to the press of this county for publication. All of which is most respectfully submitted by your committee, VICTOR MONTGOMERY, RICHARD MELROSE, CHAS. S. MCKELVEY. MASKED MARAUDER. FIRES A SHOT AT A CHINESE VEGETABLE GROWER AND GETS A VOLLEY IN RETURN. At about 6 o'clock last Thursday evening a masked Mexican rode up to the cabin of the Chinaman Charley Gim, living across the road from Capt. Schumacher's place in North Anaheim, and calling the Celestial to the door, fired at him with a revolver, hitting him in the right hand at the base of the thumb joint and causing a slight flesh wound. At first it was thought that robbery was the motive, but on inquiry it is learned that the marauder fired as soon as the Chinaman opened the door. The Celestial seized his shot gun that was standing near loaded with bird shot and fired at the form of the rapidly retreating Mexican, who rode off in the darkness. The lowering clouds and portents of rain made outlines indistinguishable, but the Celestial is positive the masked man was a Mexican. Inquiry develops the fact that the Mexican fired as soon as the Chinaman appeared at the door, and the only possible explanation of the attempted murder is that the Chinaman is engaged in The receipts of the company during the year are found to have been as follows, and are tabulated under the heading of earnings of the year: Assessment $6,885 00 Consumers 155 91 Water 10,391 31 Construction 7 75 Interest 421 68 Total $17,861 68 The expenses or losses during the year have been as follows: Bank of Anaheim $36 25 Bond expenses $44 00 Cleaning ditches 4,539 72 Repairs 396 24 Interest 10,489 22 Jurupa litigation 27 90 Yorba 9 50 Gardiner 73 50 Ribby 12 25 J.S. Gardiner 1,031 50 General expenses 866 20 Salaries 1,126 00 Superintendent and Zanjeros $6,600 42 Total $22,593 75 ASSETS AND LIABILITIES The Board of Audit find that the average operating expenses per head of water per hour was this year $1.313. Last year it was .7483. The increased cost is attributable to the fact that the sales of water were for the past year less by some four thousand dollars than those of the year preceding, while the expenses—notably the interest account—have been higher. The full report will be read at the annual stockholders' meeting on Saturday, and will prove to be an interesting as well as valuable document. REPORT OF DIRECTORS RESUME OF WORK DONE BY THE WA-TER COMPANY DURING THE YEAR. To the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Co.—We, your Directors, beg leave to submit this report of the business transacted by us during the past year: We congratulate the company that the improvements which have been made have met the anticipation of your Directors by a large gain in water. During the last year we have made a great many costly but much needed improvements, many of which are of a permanent character. At the head of the Cajon ditch, where a very great waste occurred, 2000 feet of ditch has been concrete—a ditch 12 feet wide and 3 feet deep. A number of sluice and waste gates have been put in with concrete. Several large bends or crooks in the ditch have been straightened, shortening the distance and giving better current. The retiring board of three years ago then recommended in their annual report to the stockholders the reconstruction of flumes 4,7 and 8. This work, although badly need- the streets of the city. Some objection had arisen on the part of the Trustees to the verbiage of the application, which he did not care to change without the consent of the board. The change was authorized to be made, and the matter went over. A communication was received from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company to the effect that a meeting of the joint Litigation Committee of both companies would be held at Orange to-morrow afternoon at 2. The law committee was instructed to be present. Simoon Tucker wrote asking permission to grub out the weeds on the line of the ditch running through his place, saying that the same had become unsightly, that they disseminated seeds for larger crops of weeds each succeeding year, and proved a harbor of refuge for squirrels. Granted. Engineer's estimates on cement work were read by the Secretary as follows: Gray Bros. & Ward, $1267 20 on Placentia ditch; C. E. Groat, $768 15 on Orangethorpe ditch, which had been completed. The amounts being over and above the sums necessary to be kept back by the terms of contract, as well as all percentages to be deducted according to law, the same were ordered paid, as follows: Bonds in the amount of $1,250 in the first instance, and $750 in the latter. Director Spencer offered the following preamble and resolution: Whereas, It being apparent that it is urgently necessary to convert the available water supply of this company into money, and believing that the extensive improvements which have been made by the building of flumes and the extensive cementing and cleaning of ditches will with a favorable rainfall insurance shareholders in this company an abundance of water and to spare; and, Whereas, Knowing that certain parties own land outside the boundaries of the district, but laying contiguous thereto, are anxious to procure water from this company for the purpose of maintaining and keeping in growth orchards which have grown to bearing by the process of barrel irrigation, and for other purposes which will add to the growth and prosperity of the country as well as to the enrichment of this company. Now, therefore, it is him in the right hand at the base of the thumb joint and causing a slight flesh wound. At first it was thought that robbery was the motive, but on inquiry it is learned that the marander fired as soon as the Chinaman opened the door. The Celestial seized his shot gun that was standing near loaded with bird shot and fired at the form of the rapidly retreating Mexican, who rode off in the darkness. The lowering clouds and portents of rain made outlines indistinguishable, but the Celestial is positive the masked man was a Mexican. Inquiry develops the fact that the Mexican fired as soon as the Chinaman appeared at the door, and only possible explanation of the attempted murder is that the Chinaman is engaged in raising quite an area of green peppers, an industry bitherto occupied almost exclusively by Mexicans. This attempted murder following so closely the robbery of the vegetable ranch at the Bras place up the ditch east of town, has filled the Celestials with some concern, and Charley Gim was prepared to give his masked callers a warm reception next evening if they came, but they failed to show up. MASQUERADE BALL. Preparations for the Chosen Friends' masquerade to be given at the Opera-house to-morrow evening are progressing actively, and the indications are that the ball will be a largely attended and very enjoyable social affair. Shephard's Les Angeles orchestra will furnish the music, and the ball will be under the management of the following committees of well known ladies and gentlemen: Committee of Arrangements—A.D. Porter, A. L. Lewis, F. C. Smythe, L. C. Bailey, Mrs. McWilliams, Mrs. L. F. Lewis, Miss Clara Mossman. Invitation Committee—Mrs. A. L. Lewis, A. Rimpan, F. C. Smythe, Mrs. Gade.

But we apprehend not many will be absent, the indications being that the largest crowd of the year will be in attendance. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. For The Week Ending Jan. 29, 1895.

At the head of the Cajon ditch, where a very great waste occurred, 2000 feet of ditch has been concreted—a ditch 12 feet wide and 3 feet deep. A number of aluice and waste gates have been put in with concrete. Several large bends or crooks in the ditch have been straightened, shortening the distance and giving better current. The retiring board of three years ago then recommended in their annual report to the stockholders the reconstruction of flumes 4, 7 and 8. This work, although badly needed, had been neglected till the past year, when the three flumes have been rebuilt on concrete foundations and built in a very substantial manner. Concrete ditches have been constructed from Taffree's southwest corner south to Crowther's southeast corner, connecting with the concrete South Branch ditch; also connecting with the concrete South Branch ditch at E. Browning's and running north to Orangethorpe avenue nearly one mile; thence west on Orangethorpe avenue one-half mile. Also from McFadden's northeast corner running west and south to S. Ross' northeast corner, about two miles, doing away with the decayed wooden drops and confining the water to a smaller stream, preventing the washing of the lands of the county roads and private owners, and thereby saving in time and seepage much water. The board also has now under contract over four miles more of concrete work, connecting with the south end of the concrete ditch on East street in Anaheim and running west and southwest, a distance of over four miles, over a sandy stretch of country, where much water has been lost and a very unsatisfactory delivery had been secured to the irrigators. With the completion of the improvements now in progress, both a great economy of time and water will be made, an increased area of land irrigated, and consequently enhanced improvement and general prosperity of our people in that direction. During the panic our creditors demanded increased interest on our matured obligations or the principal. We were compelled for the time being to pay 10 per cent, but we have gradually reduced the interest on our indebtedness to 8 and 7 per cent. The improvements that have been made during the last two years have insured to the stockholders a certain and abundant supply of water, instead of the uncertain and scant supply. The operating expenses should from now on be decreased and the revenue should be increased. The decreased expenses in cleaning, repairing and maintaining the eighteen miles of concrete ditches, which the company now owns, besides the great saving of time and water to irrigators, will more than pay the interest of the increased indebtedness. Below is a statement of the sources of income and a summary of expenditures which WHEREAS, It being apparent that it is urgently necessary to convert the available water supply of this company into money, and believing that the extensive improvements which have been made by the building of flumes and the extensive cementing and cleaning of ditches will with a favorable rainfall insure shareholders in this company an abundance of water and to spare; and, WHEREAS, Knowing that certain parties owning land outside the boundaries of the district, but laying contiguous thereto, are anxious to procure water from this company for the purpose of maintaining and keeping in growth orchards which have grown to bearing by the process of barrel irrigation, and for other purposes which will add to the growth and prosperity of the country as well as to the enrichment of this company. Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the attorney of this company be and he is hereby instructed to formulate a contract between the A. U. W. Co. and any such parties as may apply for water, to the following effect: The object of such contract to be to protect the A. U. W. Co. from furnishing to such parties water at such times as would result in the deprivation of water to regular shareholders in times of scarcity. The resolution was seconded by Director Nebelung, and carried unanimously. The zanjeros were instructed to keep an accurate record of all water running to waste, the date of the same, and price of water at the time. Adjourned. MARRIAGE.

Mrs. Hazen tells a different story concerning the murder from that telegraphed, and maintains that Cooke was the aggressor, coming to her son's house and pulling his wife out of bed, and when she woman refused to drink the whisky which he offered her, pouring it over her head. Hazen had his arm in a sling at the time, having sustained some injury to the hand, and as a result of his souffle with Cooke, has had to have a part of his thumb amputated since going to jail. Counsel has been secured to defend Hazen, and his mother will mortgage her home to secure money to pay the lawyers.
