LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK A Case of Water Diversion Near Home. The Superintendent of the Santa Ana Irrigation Company Detected In Diverting a Stream from the River a Half Mile North of the Head of the Anaheim Ditch—Called Upon to Desist—Municipal Bonds Carry By a Handsome Majority—Idle Reports About the Number of Men Employed at the Alamites Sugar Factory—Beets Go High in Sugar—Capt. Dickens' Search for a Missing Man—Local Brevities. The water board met in regular session on Saturday last, Mr. Browning in the chair. The committee to whom was referred the matter of Mr. Korn's application for damages in the amount of six dollars for the breaking of his buggy by driving over a bad bridge, reported in favor of paying the same. Adopted, and the Secretary instructed to draw a warrant in favor of the same. Secretary Blennnerhassett read the following report: On hand July 1... $323 90 Water sales—North Anaheim... 881 85 Annaheim... 647 85 Assessment... 245 50 Received from Stanton for gravel... 9 75 Credits... $2088 85 Balance... 1995 00 Treasurer Goldwater reported a balance of $3595 04 on hand in bank in favor of the company. Supt. Sheppard reported the expense account for July to have been $663 80, of which $380 was for regular employees; construction account, $47 32; total, $711 12. Mr. Nebelung of the Finance Committee reported that bills to the amount of $221 57 had been audited and approved, making a total expenditure during the month, including the items in the Superintendent's report, of $932 69. Treasurer's balance, $3595 04; in hands of Secretary, $143 85; total $3,738 89; less bills approved, $2866 20. The Secretary read the call from the California Bank of Los Angeles for their $25,000 loan, $10,000 of which was due on Aug. 1st. By the agreement between the bank and the company, the latter have three months in which to pay the same, and the failed to vote thinking it unnecessary to go to the polls and exercise the franchise. Extensive improvements will be inaugurated immediately. New water mains will be put down in the streets, new wells bored at the water works, and new pumps and tanks put in. The electric light plant will be increased by the addition of power sufficient to carry an increase of a thousand lights. More are lights will be placed upon the streets, giving us better light than we have hitherto enjoyed, and tending to cheapening the rates to consumers of commercial lights. RAILROAD MATERIAL. A CARLOAD OF SWITCH STANDARDS AND TARGETS, SWITCH FROGS AND FISH PLATES ARRIVED AT THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC DEPOT YESTERDAY. A carload of railroad material, including switch standards, switch targets, fish plates, angle plates, switch frogs and other iron, arrived at the Southern Pacific railroad depot yesterday. "That stuff back there looks suspicious," said the scribe, addressing Agent Darling. "Yes; that's scrap iron for a new rolling mill we're going to put up down here." "Do you expect any ties or rails?" "Yes, we may have to have some—may need some kindling wood to start the fires with." "It looks as if the company intended putting in some track from here to the factory," remarked a by stander. "That stuff is easily carried," replied Darling, laconically, "and the company have their own wagons; and it will be easy to carry away if necessary." Long service in the employ of the railroad company has made of the efficient agent here an adept in contentiousity. The railroad surveyors went as far as New river, when a telegram came summoning part of them to Colton. Mr. Chase, foreman of the surveyors, was yesterday engaged in writing up his notes. Mr. Huntington and Mr. Hood are looked for to arrive to-day to go over the road. The arrival of the carload of railroad material indicates the building of the railroad spur to the factory from this point. As soon as the factory spur shall be completed, the forces of railroad graders and track layers will lay the track up town on Santa Ana street, and southerly on Olive. THE SUGAR FACTORY. MISCHIEVEVOUS REPORTS AS TO THE NUMBER OF MEN AT WORK START IDLE MEN TO THE SITE OF THE FACTORY. The work of preparing for the erection of Kleinigkeiten. Anaheim is going to have a boom—don't you forget it. Br. Harker has our thanks for a large table blotter, whereon these items are being written. Brewer Conrad has received a consignment of new ammonia pipes for the increase of his ice machine. Fred Mickel and Mr. Morton are storing large quantities of baled hay at their places in West Anaheim. Attorney Chynoweth has dusted up his front window and placed a photograph of Wm. McKinley therein. Dominic Jordan has been made a citizen of the United States. Dominic does the circular editorial work on our cylinder press, and ought to make a good citizen. The City Trustees will sit as a Board of Equalization at the City Hall on Monday, and remain in session until the returns of the Assessor are gone over. The San Diego excursions over the Santa Fe occur to-morrow and next day, Friday and Saturday, the 6th and 7th. The fare is $3 for the round trip. Eddie Bennerscheidt is off to Eisenada, Lower California, on his bicycle. He will cover the entire distance on his wheel, and expects to remain permanently and grow up with the country. As we go to press the report reaches us that the railroad spur to the sugar factory will be built from Anaheim sure pop, and that work will be in progress on the line inside of fifteen days. Monday is the last day in which one may register to vote at the ensuing general election. Are you registered? If not, you had better attend to it, as failing to register by Monday evening, you will lose your vote. Ten electric lights have been installed in the Sanitarium, Engineer des Granges and Fred Lewis having wired the house one day last week. As soon as the capacity of the works shall be enlarged, a hundred additional incandescent lights will be put in. Complaint is made that a number of the big trees in the schoolhouse yard show signs of decay on account of a lack of water. Formerly the trees used to be irrigated at least once a year, as well as being shown some attention as to cultivation. This seems to have been latterly neglected, and a word to the School Trustees ought to be sufficient. Dick Callahan of the Club advertises Wieland's beer, and courteous treatment Mr. Nebolung of the Finance Committee reported that bills to the amount of $221 57 had been audited and approved, making a total expenditure during the month, including the items in the Superintendent's report, of $932 69. Treasurer's balance, $3595 04; in hands of Secretary, $143 85; total $3,738 89; less bills approved, $2886 20. The Secretary read the call from the California Bank of Los Angeles for their $25,000 loan, $10,000 of which was due on August. By the agreement between the bank and the company, the latter have three months in which to pay the same, and the Secretary was authorized to write the bank acknowledging the receipt of its communication, and that it would have consideration by the board. A communication was read from the Santa Ana water company to the effect that Supt. Gardiner of that company had been leased the privilege of taking up the seepage water in the river bed below their dam. Inasmuch as this diversion, which takes water from the river a half mile above the head of the Anaheim ditch, affects the supply of the water running into that ditch, and to which we are entitled by the laws of appropriation, the Secretary was instructed to inform the Santa Ana company to that effect, and request of them to remove the dam. Failing to do this, the company will refer the matter to their attorney to bring action restraining this unwarranted diversion. A further reference to this interesting matter will be found in the editorial columns this morning. Supt. Sheppard reported that one P. A. Stanton had taken gravel from the company's gravel pit and had not left it in good condition. He had taken the uncovered gravel in the pit, and had left none uncovered. The damage to the pit he estimated at $50. The man had paid the company $9 75 for 65 yards of gravel, and the Superintendent reported that 125 yards of gravel had been taken from the pit. The Secretary was authorized to send Stanton a bill for $59 00, covering the amount of gravel really taken, as well as the damage to the pit. Mr. Barron, living in the sandwash northwest of town, wrote saying that on account of lack of water his trees had suffered and his alfalfa died, so much that he felt constrained to ask of the company damages in reasonable amount for his loss, amount not stated. Mr. Barron has two shares of stock, is reported never to have had a stand of alfalfa on his ranch, and his trees are said to have been in a condition bordering upon innocuous desnetude when set out. Mr. Barron is a frequent contributor to the archives of the company's manuscripts, and his letters invariably go upon the table; as this one did also. Mrs. Louise Abbey wrote saying she had been damaged to the extent of $80 by failure to get water paid for. The lady was to have been given water through the pipe put in by Sehade, which he has not completed, and which has dragged its length along in a very unsatisfactory manner. Mrs. Abbey's claim for damages is said to be a good one, and the company will no doubt have to recompense her for her loss. The matter was referred to a committee composed of Nebelung and Key, who will also look into Mr. Barron's complaint. The company's zanjers were instructed to inspect the bridges in their jurisdiction, and report needed repairs to the Superintendent. On motion the franchise granted by the city for the maintenance of ditches upon the streets of the town was accepted. The offer of the Stearus land company to rent the Tuffree reservoir at $5 per month was accepted. The following bids for furnishing pipe were opened: Size Kuebler & Stone Schade. Sixteen inch per foot...450 Eighteen inch...450 Twenty inch...750 Thirty-inch per inch...750 The arrival of the carload of railroad material indicates the building of the railroad spur to the factory from this point. As soon as the factory spur shall be completed, the force of railroad graders and track layers will lay the track up town on Santa Ana street, and southerly on Olive. THE SUGAR FACTORY. MISCHIEVOUS REPORTS AS TO THE NUMBER OF MEN AT WORK START IDLE MEN TO THE SITE OF THE FACTORY. The work of preparing for the erection of the Alamitos sugar factory goes actively on, but the publication of untruthful yarns in the Los Angeles and Santa Ana papers, to to effect that a force of sixty men are at work upon the foundation of the building, has had the effect of starting the unemployed thither, only to find to their sorrow that the reports are altogether without foundation, and that it will be probably more than a month before work upon the foundation can begin. The only laborers at work at the factory site at present are the force of wood-choppers, some twenty-five in number, who are cutting down the willows along New river for fuel with which to burn the bricks for the refinery buildings. Their contract calls for between 400 and 500 cords of wood, and yesterday they had chopped in the neighborhood of 250 cords. They out at the rate of thirty cords per day, and the job will be completed probably in two weeks. The surveyors are also in the field laying off the Alamitos ranch in acreage lots, so that contracts may be made for best raising next season. Mr. F.J. Capitain, who is in charge of operations at the factory site, was nettled considerably by the publication of the unfounded rumors as to the number of men employed, as the reports have conspired to start any number of the unemployed to the ranch in search of work. Mr. Capitain has his headquarters in the shooting-box of Alamitos gun club, which was recently called upon to vacate the premises on account of the erection of the factory. The sheepmen have also long since been notified to move off the ranch, and everything is being placed in readiness for an early beginning of active operations upon the buildings. Mr. Capitain is very comfortably situated in the palatial headquarters of the old shooting-club, and his daughter is with him to keep house. In a tent adjoining the club-house is Judge Marks and his wife and family. The Judge will be the Secretary of new beet company, and is at present out with the surveyors laying off the land. Mr. Capitain informs us that he has applications for 3100 acres of land to be planted to beets next season, and he thinks he could make contracts for 20,000 acres if the factory could handle that many beets. The application for beet acreage is constant, but as yet no contracts have been made, and none will be made until the ranch is laid off into acreage lots. The railroad route to the factory is all completed, and the country is dotted with grade stakes and signal posts. A splendid artesian well at the headquarters affords an abundance of water, and an air of activity is noticeable everywhere. The deeds to the right of way for the railroad are expected from San Francisco today, when the final work of scouring the same will begin and it is hoped will be pushed to a successful conclusion. Already the new factory has had the effect of stimulating beet planting. It was authoritatively stated on Tuesday that agents of Chino factory were in the field soliciting contracts for next year's beets, and that the price would probably be advanced. Last year it was not known until well along toward seeding time that Ten electric lights have been installed in the Sanitarium, Engineer des Granges and Fred Lewis having wiredthe house one day last week. As soon asthe capacity of works shall be enlarged,a hundred additional incandescent lights will be put in. -Dick Callahan of The Club advertises Wieland's beer,and courteous treatment always on draught.

A LIGHT VOTE POLLED, BUT A SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITY FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP — MANY IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE. The municipal election on Saturday to vote upon the question of issuing bonds in the amount of $18,000 for the purpose of extending and improving the city water works and electric light plant, resulted in favor of the bonds by a large majority, 139 votes being polled for the bonds, and 30 against them. One hundred and eighty-one votes were cast—a light vote. Eleven votes were thrown out, as being improperly stamped, and one vote—that of Peter Weisel—was unstamped, the stamp having been affixed to the perforated slip. Of the eleven votes discarded because of improper stamping, five were evidently in favor of the bonds, and six against. The stamp instead of being affixed to the ballot in the square provided for that purpose, was placed to the left of it next to the reading, and the eleven ballots were cast aside. One of them had the stamp had evidently been pressed against the ballot several times. The ballot was not stamped properly and was thrown out. The vote was a light one, and half a hundred more votes could have been brought to the polls in favor of the bonds. The closing of the polls at 5 o'clock shut out a number who came into the polling place in the City Hall while the votes were being counted, under the impression that the old method of keeping the polls open until sundown still prevailed. A number of our oldest and most highly respected citizens were against the bonds, and for some days past had carried on a quiet fight against them. Probably every voter in town who opposed the bonds voted against them, those in favor of them who The railroad route to the factory is all completed, and the country is dotted with grade stakes and signal posts. A splendid artesian well at the headquarters affords an abundance of water, and an air of activity is noticeable everywhere. The deeds to the right of way for the railroad are expected from San Francisco today, when the final work of securing the same will begin and it is hoped will be pushed to a successful conclusion. Already the new factory has had the effect of stimulating best planting. It was authoritatively stated on Tuesday that agents of the Chino factory were in the field soliciting contracts for next year's beets, and that the price would probably be advanced. Last year it was not known until well along toward seeding time that any contracts would be made, and even then it was given out that there would be a reduction in the price. This year it is different. The shipping season has scarcely begun, when we hear that contracts are about ready to be signed up for next year, at an increased price. The Alamitos factory will be located on Section 19, nine miles west of town. It will be midway between Anaheim and Long Beach. To reach there, go to Weisel's corner, and then go straight west seven miles until you come to the factory. Some of the ground at the site has been cleared off, but no active work upon the buildings will begin before the railroad is built to the site. It is hoped that work upon the railroad spur will begin inside of fifteen days, and it will be a month after that before the road can be completed. For Sale.

All Republicans are requested to be present: The body of Jasper Goe who was drowned while bathing at Long Beach on Sunday a week ago came ashore shortly before noon on Monday, after being in the water eight days, and was discovered a mile west of the place of drowning. The Coroner was notified and held an inquest, the jury finding that the deceased came to his death by accidental drowning. The fact that at the time of the drowning the tide was high and the undertow particularly strong is sufficient to explain the cause of the drowning, and there is no ground for a suspicion of suicide. Gee carried an insurance of $7500 which could not have been collected had his body not been found, and this will probably now be paid. The remains will be buried in Los Angeles Friday. A party consisting of Freeman G. Teed, M. P. Snyder, G. D. Pessell, George Stockwell, E. L. Blanchard and Jim Ashman, members of the City Council of Los Angeles, and Mr. Dennis, President of the Phoenix council, under the guidance of Mr. McGinnis of the Santa Fe, arrived in town on the 3 o'clock train from Los Angeles Tuesday afternoon and were driven over to the Olive bridge, where they met the Board of Supervisors of Orange county, and examined the area covering recently put on the bridge. The preparation was highly commended, and it was resolved by the visitors to use the brea on bridges in Los Angeles. The party returned to this city and took their departure on the evening train for the Angelic City. This brea will probably be used on the sandwash bridge. The convention of walnut-growers met Tuesday morning at the Chamber of Commerce, in Los Angeles, W. M. McFadden of Placentia acting as chairman. There was a prolonged discussion of the best methods of grading and marketing the season's crop of walnuts. It was decided that there shall be two recognized grades, besides paper-shell variety, which usually commands fancy prices. The grading will depend upon the size of the nuts, which will be ascertained by passing them through a wire screen with large meshes. After considerable debate it was decided to postpone the fixing of prices until 10 a.m., August 15 when the delegates will meet again in the same place. The constitutional amendment which if adopted will confer the franchise upon women, is not the only interesting change in the organic law to be submitted at the coming election. There are five others, a majority of which purpose to introduce constitutional innovations. The principal of these is the amendment to Section 1 of Article XIII which changes the rule of assessing property in California. This is known as "mortgage tax amendment." It was suggested by political economists of Los An Meinigkeiten. Sim is going to have a boom—forget it. Marker has our thanks for a large order, whereon these items are being received. Conrad has received a consigny of ammonia pipes for the increase of methane. Nickel and Mr. Morton are storing quantities of baled hay at their nearest Anaheim. Chynoweth has dusted up his sow and placed a photograph of the hay therein. Jordan has been made a citizen of States. Dominio does theorial work on our cylinder press, to make a good citizen. Trustees will sit as a Board at the City Hall on Monday, in session until the returns of are gone over. Diego excursions over the Santa Monroe and next day, Friday, the 6th and 7th.

To press the report reaches us broad spur to the sugar factory from Anaheim sure pop, and will be in progress on the line even days. Is the last day in which one vote at the ensuing general election you registered? If not, you tend to it, as failing to register evening, you will lose your vote. Electric lights have been installed inarium, Engineer des Granges having wired the house one. As soon as the capacity of will be enlarged, a hundred adjoined lights will be put in. It is made that a number of the schoolhouse yard show signs account of a lack of water. The trees used to be irrigated at year, as well as being shown as to cultivation. This seems latterly neglected, and a word Trustees ought to be sufficient. Lahan of the Club advertises er, and courteous treatment gelos, who do not think it possible to assess a mortgage as an interest in realty. The amendment merely exempts from taxation mortgages and deeds of trust. Another important amendment is to Section 5 of Article II. This permits votes to be cast by other means than by ballot. It, in fact, contemplates voting in this State by machinery, and allows any method to be introduced which does not violate secrecy in voting. Still another change to be proposed is that to Section 3 of Article XII. At the present time stockholders of corporations are liable to the creditors of their concerns for such a proportion of its debts as the amount of their stock bears to the total indebtedness. The proposed amendment limits their liability to the face value of their shares, and when the stock shall have been fully paid up terminates the liability altogether. In the event that the stock has not been paid up then the stockholder is liable only upon the unpaid balance. This rule seems to be a just one, but exactly why the old law is being changed, as it has never to our knowledge worked hardship does not appear. Amos Jennings informs us that if the voters in the entire county have registered as well as they have in this prefecture, there will be few disfranchised people at the November election. Mr. Jennings says that so far about 225 voters have registered, and the total registration for the city will probably be 240 or 250. The committee on securing right of way for the Southern Pacific spur from this city to the new sugar factory have been waiting upon the deeds to property along the route, and which have been submitted to Mr. Huntington at railroad headquarters at San Francisco. They are expected to arrive today, when active operations in the field will begin. Meanwhile the arrival of a carload of railroad material at the depot here would serve as an excellent indication that active operations on the road would shortly begin. Jockey Hahn may be seen occasionally upon the streets driving his horse Olinda Richmond, having a record of 16½. Hahn may enter him in the coming Fall races at Santa Ana, if a class will be put up for him, and thinks he can make it interesting for the best of them. He has a number of horses at his barn in course of being taught the rudiments of driving harness, and a spin behind one of the broncos is exhilarating in the extreme. Hulteen & Bergstrom, the contractors engaged in building the County Jail, on July 28th received from the Supervisors the first installment of $4,000 on their contract. The money was due according to the terms of the contract, which provided for the payment of $4,000 when the structure should be complete up to the first floor. Another installment of $4,000 will be when the walls of Misses Ella and Alice Warner and Pauline and Julia Nemetz went down Anaheim Landing on Wednesday last main a month. Prof. Frantz contemplates leaving Phoenix, Ariz., in a day or two to look at business proposition made him intrigueing town. Charley Puckett will run establishment during his absence.

Mrs. Collings, wife of the pastor of Methodist churub, will teach school at ange during the ensuing school term. was elected first to teach at Fullerton, was subsequently also chosen to teach higher grade at Orange. Being granted excuse by the Fullerton Trustees, she opted the school at Orange. Mr. Littlefield put in an appearance the City Hall on Saturday morning last act as one of the inspectors of electric walking with a cane, and having acquired very perceptible limp since last town. Inquiry developed the fact that he sprained his ankle some days previous falling from an elevation while trimming trees in the hedge. He was laid up with badly sprained ankle for some days past, in now able to be about again. Gov. Whitaker was in town from Beverly Park on Tuesday, and in relation to numerous railroad rumors floating about said that in his opinion the road to the sugar factory would be built from L Beach first, so that lumber might be shipped across from San Pedro direct instead bauling it around by way of this point. The Governor added that the railroad would most certainly build to Anaheim, and work would begin in the immediate future. A party of mighty hunters composed Tom Dunn, Rud Bentz, John Bush, Sp Wetzel, Herb, Morton and Frank Fox spied a couple of days in the Santiago canyon neighboring mountains in search for deer. They left town on Saturday evening, drive all night into the mountain fastnesses, and camped at 4 o'clock in the morning. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U.S. Gov't Report Richmond, having a record of 163, Hahn may enter him in the coming Fall races at Santa Ana, if a class will be put up for him, and thinks he can make it interesting for the best of them.

The money was due according to the terms of the contract, which provided for the payment of $4,000 when the structure should be complete up to the first floor. Another installment of $4,000 will be when the walls of the jail have been erected and the building is enclosed and roofted over. Mr. Harker is fearful that among the killed in the railroad accident which happened on the Philadelphia Central railroad at Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Friday morning last, and in which nearly a hundred people were killed and injured, the name of J. D. Johnson of Bridgeton, N.J., which was among the first sent out as being among the killed, is that of his cousin. He has a cousin living in Bridgeton by that name, and has written on for information regarding the identity of the passenger. Mr. Harker is also fearful that a second cousin was also killed in the wreck. Mr. L. W. Kirby of Peralta has a brother living in Bridgeton, but fortunately the names of none of the family appear among those in the wreck. —The item in our last issue, in reference to the suit of Miss Kate Champlin vs. Dr. and Mrs. Paschall, to recover money alleged to be due on a dress-making contract, in which it was stated that plaintiff objected to the transfer of the case from Judge Landell's into Judge Pierce's court, was an unintentional error, for which we are but partly to blame. The item was handed in just prior to going to press, and no time was available to verify the statements contained therein. We learn that no objection was made by the plaintiff to the trial of the case in Judge Pierce's court, and we make haaste to say that the only reason why the learned Judge's name was permitted to appear at all was to show the reason for the transfer to the Santa Ana court. We hasten to correct the error, and are sorry we were unintentionally led into making the unfounded reference to our learned judicial friend. —The new telephone poles at La Mirada, which are lower by several feet than they ought to be, run in front of Capt. McNally's residence property along its entire length, and make rather an unsightly obstruction to the view of the premises, but when they reach Col. Northam's place, the poles turn along the Colonel's east line, between his property and that of McNally, leaving the view to the front of his property unobstructed. Passengers on the railroad cannot remark the difference in the appearance of the two places, one open to an uninterrupted view, the other interfered with by a line of unsightly telephone poles, with their low cross-beams. How came these poles to run in front of McNally, and then, when about to be projected along the line in front of his neighbor, to continue along his west line, giving the Captain two lines of poles and the Colonel none? Has the redoubtable Colonel "played even" upon McNally for giving him the double cross on the location of the depot? —Wm. Schwenckert is in receipt of a letter from the Lutheran pastor at Langen chursdorf, Kingdom of Saxony, the home of the parents of Oscar Martin, the unfortunate young German who was accidentally shot and killed here some weeks ago, from Richmond, having a record of 163. H Scott came down from Redlands on Sunday to spend day with friends here. A little bird whispers that Lee will come down to Anabeim one of these fine days and will not return home alone. Father Cote was taken seriously ill at 1 o'clock yesterday morning with trouble of the heart, and Dr. Lee had to be sent for. The reverend gentleman was yesterday afternoon reported to besomewhat improved. Herman Stern received a cable telegram on Friday from his brother Jake, announcing his safe arrival at Cuxhaven, the port of Hamburg, Germany, two hours' travel from that city. Jake and his family are now probably having a good time at the old homestead. Frank Stout of Laramie, Wyoming, was in town yesterday, the guest of W. R. Harker, looking for a business investment in our town. He took the afternoon train for Los Angeles, and will return in a day or two, being very favorably impressed with our little city, and may locate permanently. Master Willie and Miss Minnie Winters of Oranghorne avenue were tendered a surprise party on Friday evening by a number of the young ladies and gentlemen of the neighborhood. A pleasant time was had until the departure of the guests, which took place long past midnight hour. Mr. Geo. Frentz was in town yesterday for the second time since he sustained such bad injuries by falling from a scaffolding while painting Hart's residence, some ten weeks ago, when he suffered the breaking of the boots of his arm in four places and had three ribs broken. The accident was a bad one, but Mr. Frentz is rapidly recovering and will soon no doubt be quite restored to his aforetime health and usefulness. Col Polhemus was in from Miraflores a day or two ago and informs us that the Southern Pacific track has not yet been taken up from that point to Santa Ana, and furthermore the Colonel hardly thinks it will be. He says there is a splendid curve from that locality down toward the section line for a railroad to Alamitos sugar factory, and he would not be surprised to see the connection made from that point. Mr. Thiele takes rank with the best of entertainers in taking care of guests at his palatial home on the corner of Olive and Santa Ana streets. For luxurious surroundings the residence is hard to beat, and when to Mr. Thiele's usual charming affability is added a glass of wine of age of thirty-two years, the hours speed on so rapidly that one recognizes it not in this rare old homestead. We have Mr. Thiele on list for another call in the immediate future. Mrs. Lee Steffan of Orange was quite seriously injured by being run into by a runaway in the plaza while riding on her bicycle in that town. She had alighted from her wheel, and turned to get out of harm's way, when she team ran over her, precipitating her violently to the ground and dragging her under the wheels for a distance of 150 feet. She was quite severely injured. She was picked up and carried to her home, where she lay for several days in great mental and physical prostration, but at latest reports was recovering. A party of mighty hunters composed Tom Dunn, Rud Bentz, John Bush, Spetz Wetzel, Herb Morton and Frank Fox spared a couple of days in the Santiago canyon near neighboring mountains in search for deer They left town on Saturday evening, drive all night into the mountain fastnesses, and camped at 4 o'clock in the morning breakfast. The boys saw three deer they were so wild it was impossible to get shot at them. The party returned on Monday day evening and report having had a very enjoyable trip. Captain Dickens of the Coast Survey looking for a man named J. D. Nichole who owns a piece of land at Norwalk at north end of the base line. A number trees on the land have reared their tops loftily that interfere with the vision of many must be removed in order to permit a hellographic signals. Captain Dickens put in several days looking for him once which was consumed in Los Angeles which or man recently moved. Mr Nichole must have a perfect mania for moving he was sought in many widely separated places in the outskirts of town when he learned he had just moved to another place only to bring the Captain up at his trail in the hospital. There it was learned that he had just left the institution and on the eve of a "hot trail," searched him had to be abandoned in the maze of a wandering in a big city. The Captain's choice was not altogether unrewarded for a friend of the gentleman appeared and volunteered to hunt him up. Mr Dilley lives on his place, but has no authority to give permission to top trees. Meantime Mr Nicole non-assertion to the scheme involving discovery compares to an interruption work on their base line.
