LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK Leaks in Lawn and Garden Sprinkling. The City Trustees Resolve to Use Meters More Generally Among the Larger Consumers of Water—Interesting Figures Submitted at Tuesday Evening's Meeting—Strange Case of a Deaf Mute Who Tried to Kick Down a Door to Get Something to Eat—Mrs. Bittner Seriously Ill-Tim Carroll's Horses Back His Wagon Off the Beet Dump, and he Sustains a Bad Accident—Hallroad Surveyors Here, and Indications Good for an Early Beginning of Work Upon the Factory Spur—Local Brevities. At the meeting of the City Trustees on Tuesday evening absolutely convincing proof was produced showing that a large-sized leak exists in the water works of the city. The leak exists in the charge for water for sprinkling purposes, according to what is known as the "flat rate," or stated price per month, and arises in lieu of the charge for this water by meter rates. Recently a number of meters have been put in, and Marshal Steadman reported some interesting comparative figures showing the price paid by several consumers, and the meter rates for the quantity of water used by them. The figures in nearly every case are eye-openers. One gentleman, whose regular monthly rate is $3 35, was shown to have used as high as a thousand gallons of water on his lawn per day. A statement of the amount of water used by him during the past five months, together with what the meter rates should have been for the use of the water, will be of interest. In March 20,997 gallons of water were used, which at the meter rates would have amounted to $5 70. The comparative statement for the first four months would be as follows: A DEAF MUTE RUNS AMUCK, AND IT TAKES FOUR MEN TO LAND HIM IN JAIL. Judge Pierce had rather a curious case in court on Monday morning as a result of the gathering in by the officers of the flotsam and jetsam of Sabbath day hilarity. The curiosity was nothing more or less than one Thomas Cunningham, a deaf and dumb person, who had been indiscreet enough to become very full on Sunday, and who bore a card saying that he was on his way from Pittsburgh to San Diego, and adding that he could read and write nothing but Irish. He was arrested for disturbing the peace, and for inciting to crowd. The printed testimonial as to his identity was as follows: "TO THE PUBLIC. 'St. Mary's Hospital, Pittsburg, Penn. 'This is to certify that Thomas Cunningham has just been discharged from this hospital. He has been a sufferer for four years and lost both his speech and hearing from the effects of the rush of water at the Johnstown flood, he being the only survivor of 2,300 people. He is trying to get to his brother and sister in San Diego county. We certify that this man is honest and deserving of whatever you may give him. 'DR. WILLIAMS. 'SISTER MARIE. 'Dr. CLAIRE, in charge.

He was quite successful. Kleinigkeiten. Discussions of 16 to 1 continue to draw crowds upon the sidewalk and street corners. Registration has closed, and already one hears of a case here and there where electors have lost their vote by failing to register. A carload of 400 boxes of railroad spikes arrived and were unloaded at the Southern Pacific depot on Monday morning. Carl Schindler yesterday began lathing the new building Mrs. Metz is putting up on Center street, and will do the plastering today. Business must be picking up at the Commercial Hotel. Mine Host Maxwell sports a brand-new hat, and wears a smile as big as all outdoors. Br. Armor of Orange, who was regarded as a formidable candidate for State Senator from this district, is said to have declined to permit the use of his name, and is out of the race. The Ladies' Aid society that was to have met with Mrs. Bourland this afternoon will meet at the residence of Mrs. Clabaugh instead. The illness of Mr. Bourland's son being the cause. Tommy Dietrich is painting the building next to Bentz Bros. meat market, formerly occupied by Mrs. Kordes' millinery establishment. The premises will be renovated by Joseph Backs, and will be occupied by Attorney Melrose. Ralph Hunter is decorating the front of Wisser's restaurant with a new coat of paint, and has ornamented the inside with a coat of varnish and made the place to look like new. Wisser's smile is broader than usual in consequence. The delivery of beets yesterday was the largest of the season, and upwards of three hundred tons were shipped from here and the Park. Chemists Varley and Snyder had about seventy samples to test. This keeps the boys out of mischief. B. Monliot advertises eighty acres of land for sale near the site of the Alamitos sugar factory, on easy terms of payment. Here is a snap bargain for those desiring to raise beets for the factory. Aug. Backs and Conrad Stuekle were yesterday engaged in reshingling the roof of the building formerly occupied by Spoerlly. The premises will be renovated and will be occupied as dress-making rooms by the Misses Stanton. W.A. Connoly, the blacksmith, has rigged up a contrivance to swing fractious horses that object to being fitted out with new footwear. Connolly is an expert shoer has plenty to do, and fires in his forge frequently illumine the shop after dark. The City Trustees have sat as a Board of Equalization during the week, and com- In March 20,997 gallons of water were used, which at the meter rates would have amounted to $5 70. The comparative statement for the first four months would be as follows: Gallons used: 20,997 Meter rate: $5 70 Rate paid: $3 35 Loss to city: $2 35 April: 17,092 Meter rate: $4 92 Rate paid: " 1 57 May: 29,040 Meter rate: $7 30 Rate paid: " 3 95 June: 29,955 Meter rate: $7 49 Rate paid: " 4 14 Total loss to city: $12 01 The loss to the city during these four months was $11 90. In July meter rates were paid, and 11,325 gallons of water were used, for which $3 76 was paid. Another gentleman—Mr. Fowler—used 50,572 gallons of water on his lawn during July, for which he paid $5. In the recent annual statement of receipts and expenditures of the city, the charge for water to the municipality was placed at 20 cents per 1000 gallons. Thus it will be seen that it cost the city over $10 to raise the 50,572 gallons of water for which Fowler paid $5. Marshal Steadman also kept a measurement of the water used by him, and frankly admitted to the board that he did not think he was paying enough. He pays $2 50 per month, and his account with the city during the past four months stands as follows: Gallons used: 7,755 Meter rate: $2 83 Meter rate paid: $2 50 Loss to city: $3 35 May: 14,887 Meter rate: $4 47 Meter rate paid: " 1 97 June: 15,217 Meter rate: $4 54 Meter rate paid: " 2 04 July: 17,175 Meter rate: $4 93 Meter rate paid: " 2 43 Total loss to city: $6 77 Another consumer pays $1 75 per month, and his statement of water used during the past two months is as follows: Gallons used: 8,972 Meter rate: $3 18 Meter rate paid: $1 75 Loss to city: $1 43 July: 14,550 Meter rate: $4 41 Meter rate paid: " 2 66 Total loss: $4 09 Another gentleman pays $1 60 and used in May $1 85 cents worth of water, in June $2 72 worth, and in July $2 15 worth. John Schauman pays $1 45 per month, and in March used only $1 12 worth of water, the city coming out ahead on the bargain. In April he used $1 10 worth, in May $1 80 worth, in June $1 53 worth. In July John was absent at the Springs, and the boys became careless with the water and used 10,582 gallons, or $3 62 worth. John's rate is about as fair as can be arrived at, but the loss to the city in the other cases is such that the board decided to confine all large users of water to the meter schedule, and the rate schedule was referred to the Ordinance Committee to revise the rates and make them more in conformity with that paid by the bulk of household users. The Marshal stated that he had been abroad at night and in the gray of the morning to see if water was being used out of the hours set for sprinkling, but had not been able to detect any use of water out of hours. He added that in his opinion other meters ought to be put in. Engineer des Granges—I think Mr. Melrose ought to have a meter. Trustee Lewis (in the chair)—One good thing in Mr. Melrose's case is that he pays his rate the year round, and does not ask for a reduction when it rains. His lawn is not flooded like some others, and he don't ask for a rebate whenever there is a cloud in the sky. Trustee Helmsen—Mr. Melrose is one of the best customers the city has. His rate the year round is reasonable, and I think we had better allow it to remain where it is. The board dissented from the Engineer's opinion, but the Marshal was authorized to place meters wherever in his opinion a saving to the city would result. In the absence of Mayor Rust, who is out- Fox thought it would be an excellent notion to lock the man up to keep him out of harm's way. Thomas brandished a knife and threatened to disembowel him. He was placed under arrest and the knife taken from him. A search revealed that Thomas had an ugly looking bottle of sweet wine, three quarters loaded, concealed on his person. It took four men to escort Thomas to jail. Officer Fox had the assistance of George Thompson, John Henry and Dominic Jordan, the latter being pressed into service as he was riding by on his bicycle. Thomas fought viciously every step of the way, and gave utterance to noises more like those of an animal than a human being. Constable Great went over to the jail later in the evening, in company with Officer Fox, to see how his guest was getting on. As he opened the door Thomas made a rush at Fox, striking at him violently, and had he landed, Billy would probably have furnished a case for the Coroner. He sustained quite a blow, and Great gently but firmly persuaded the man to get back in the calaboose. He was given some water and was left for the night. In court on Monday morning Thomas when called upon executed an unintelligible scrawl upon a piece of paper, and when a question was put to him in writing as to its meaning, he shook his head, arose from his seat and gesticated wildly, in an evident attempt to impart the information that he had been hungry and had money with which to pay for what he wanted. He touched his stomach, then his open mouth, and then patted his pocket. His fantastic motions before George Thompson boded that young gentleman no good, evidently, but there being no mind readers in court those present remained in darkness as to his meaning. Aug. Backs and Conrad Stuekle were yesterday engaged in reshaping the roof of the building formerly occupied by Spoerli. The premises will be renovated and will be occupied as dress-making rooms by the Misses Stanton. W. A. Connoly, the blacksmith, has rigged up a contrivance to swing fractions horses that object to being fitted out with new footwear. Connolly is an expert shooter has plenty to do, and fires in his forge frequently illumine the shop after dark. The City Trustees have sat as a Board of Equalization during the week, and completed their labors yesterday. The total assessment, including the probable railroad assessment, by the State Board of Equalization (basing the figures upon last year's return), amounts to $544,315. Metz. Metz is erecting a commodious building on Center street, in front of the Midget barber shop, which has been moved back to make room for it. Architect Larsen is the designer, and is pushing the structure rapidly toward completion. Already one of two parties are after it to secure a lease on the premises. Stephen E. Kieffer has moved his residence from Sacramento to Fair Oaks, in this same county, where he will locate. He writes: "THE GAZETTE is always received and read with a great deal of interest. An glad to hear through its columns that Anna beim is on the edge of a boom." That's right; Stephen; we're upon the very edge of a great big boom. The boys at the beat dump have constructed a series of steps upon the inclining up to the top of the structure, and all one needs now is to have a rolling tire imagine one's self in a first-class hotel going upstairs. Hitherto it was worth as much as a man's life to attempt the ascend. Now going up is easy, and coming down—is like falling off a log. The rumor that was current in town yesterday afternoon that Agent Darling had received the invoice for the rails to be used on the factory spur was unfounded. A telephone message from the depot just began going press brings information that it is hardly time for the rails—although they may be looked for any day now. The Southern Pacific Company will run another of those popular excursions to Santa Barbara August 19th to 26th, and they will have a special picnic gathering Saturday, August 22d, for The Knights of Pythias and their families. The fare for the round trip will be $1 55 one dollar and fifty-five cents. Tickets good to return any time within the period of the encampment. The annual convention of the Christian churches of Southern California will be held at Long Beach Cal., August 13th to 23rd in Olivee. A fine program has been prepared in which the most prominent speakers of this and other portions of our country will be heard. The usual two-thirds railroad rate on the certificate plan has been granted on all lines. This religious body has increased its number of church buildings fifty per cent and doubled the value of its church property in Southern California during the last year. At last convention there were over four hundred in attendance. It is reasonably certain that at least five hundred will attend this year. The announcement of Judge Ballard as Engineer des Granges—I think Mr. Melrose ought to have a meter. Trustee Lewis (in the chair)—One good thing in Mr. Melrose's case is that he pays his rate the year round, and does not ask for a reduction when it rains. His lawn is not flooded like some others, and he don't ask for a rebate whenever there is a cloud in the sky. Trustee Helmsen—Mr. Melrose is one of the best customers the city has. His rate the year round is reasonable, and I think we had better allow it to remain where it is. The board dissented from the Engineer's opinion, but the Marshal was authorized to place meters wherever in his opinion a saving to the city would result. In the absence of Mayor Rust, who is outing it at Catalina, Trustee Lewis occupied the chair. Trustees Helmsen, Conrad and Great were present. The Marshal submitted the following report of collections during the month: For license, $176 25; water $154 50; electric light, $159 95; total $490 70; less 5 per cent commission ($24 53). Delinquents for water, $11 45. Collected $1 50 for delinquent license, and $22 70 for delinquent lights. Also collected $20 for dog tax; less 65 per cent commission ($13), $7 deposited with Treasurer. A total massacre of nine dogs in ambuscade was reported. Treasurer Cahen reported a balance of $510 72 in General fund, and $1,263 42 in Interest and Sinking fund. Clerk Nebelung reported $510 73 in General fund, $1,073 34 in Bond and Improvement fund, and $190 08 in Electric Light fund; total $1,774 15. Recorder Pierce reported the collection of $10 from one Steve, who forfeited bail in that amount for violation of Section 1 of Ordinance 94, relating to looking upon the ambirosal nectar when it is red. Of this amount $3 had been retained for fees, and $7 turned into the treasury. Engineer Des Granges reported installing ten electric lights in the Sanitarium and two for the new bakery. The Finance Committee reported having approved the various demands, and the reports of city officers. The Ordinance Committee reported Ordinance No. 117 relating to the issuance of bonds in conformity to the requirements of the recent municipal election. The vote at the election was canvassed, and the ordinance subsequently passed its first reading. Under the head of unfinished business the board discussed the application of Prof. Frants for the reinstallation of electric lights in his establishment. The Chair reported that the Professor, previous to his departure for Arizona, had all but changed his mind. He desired his establishment paper instead, and his landlord refused to paper it unless electric lights were installed. The matter wont over without action. The Clerk reported the deposit by Mr. Zoyn of $50 to cover the cost of turning the lots in his home place back into acreage property. City Attorney Chynoweth was firmly persuaded the man to get back in the calaboose. He was given some water and was left for the night. In court on Monday morning Thomas when called upon executed an unintelligible sorrow upon a piece of paper, and when a question was put to him in writing as to its meaning, he shook his head, arose from his seat and gesticulated wildly, in an evident attempt to impart the information that he had been hungry and had money with which to pay for what he wanted. He touched his stomach, then his opened mouth, and then patted his pocket. His fantastic motions before George Thompson boded that young gentleman no good, evidently, but there being no mind readers in court those present remained in darkness as to his meaning. It was a curious case, but the Judge observed that Thomas was hardly justified in kicking down doors, even though he was hungry and wanted something to eat, and sent him over for ten days. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE. HALL OF ANAHEIM LODGE, No. 199, I. O. O. F. ANAHEIM, August 4, 1896. WHENAS, After a long and painful illness, which he bore with uncomplaining fortitude and patience, Brother J. E. Dunphy, a Past Grand of this lodge, departed this life at Riverside on the 25th day of July, 1896; therefore, be it Resolved That this lodge expresses its sorrow and regret for the death of Brother Dunphy, and takes this method of attesting the fact that he was a true Odd Fellow, a brother who invariably lived up to the noble teachings of the order, and who was ever zealous in performing the duties and responsibilities attached to him as an officer and member of this lodge. Resolved That the charter of this lodge be draped in mourning for thirty days, and that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes and be published in the newspapers of Anaheim. THE FRIENDS' CHURCH. Mr. Editor.—I saw in your paper of August 6th, in Alamitos notes, a statement that Mrs. Veeder had resigned her position in Alamitos Church as pastor, and that Mr. Silkwood conducted the services last Sunday, which is positively false. Mrs. Veeder has no notion of resigning, neither has the church any mind to spare her. Mr. Silkwood belongs to another church, and is a good man and no doubt satisfied with his home. T. J. CARSON, A. BECKETT. Garden Grove, Aug. 10, 1896. Before buying your new carriage or buggy or harness or anything in those lines, you will save money by calling at Jacobson Bros., Santa Ana. —The annual convention of the Christian churches of Southern California will be held at Long Beach, Cal., August 13th to 23rd inclusive. A fine program has been prepared in which the most prominent speakers of this and other portions of our country will be heard. The usual two-thirds railroad rate on the certificate plan has been granted on all lines. This religious body has increased its number of church buildings fifty per cent and doubled the value of its church property in Southern California during the last year. At the last convention there were over four hundred in attendance. It is reasonably certain that at least five hundred will attend this year. —The announcement of Judge Ballard as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Superior Judge will be found under its appropriate heading this morning. Personally we hold the Judge in the highest esteem. One testimonial of his fitness for the office to which he aspires that suggests itself is the energetic manner of his prosecution of the criminal cases in the Superior Court—notably those of Sacoocio, Baldwin, Bordugo and others who were convicted of felonies and sentenced to long terms in prison. The Judge has been unceasing in his pursuit of public offenders, and if selected to sit upon the bench, would no doubt continue in effect that vigorous policy that now ends, so far as he is concerned, with a conviction in the case. The Judge's knowledge of law, his experience and judgment also fit him for the bench, and if he shall secure the nomination at the approaching convention, we shall take pleasure in helping to elect him. —The following letter from an old friend, J. E. Grogan, who is secretary and manager of the Madelia, Minn., creamery, made the heart of the editor glad when it was received yesterday, and he feels good over it yet: MADELIA, Minn., Aug. 7, 1896. ANAHEIM WEEKLY GAZETTE, Anaheim, Cal.-GENTLEMEN: Inclosed please find $1 50 to pay for one year's subscription to THE GAZETTE. I am still here in Madelia in charge of the Madelia creamyery, and am enjoying excellent health since my return from California.

Yet Chemist Snyder at the laboratory informs us that some of the largest beets received this season have been the sweetest. Tons of the biggest beets have averaged 16 per cent and over, and the percentage of all the beets is "high," not "low," as at Chino. Tuesday a 22 per cent lot of beets was polarized, and there's no telling what we won't do before the season is over. Our beets are all right, Mr. Champion, and much of the success of the factory at Chino is attributable to the richness of the beets shipped from here. Does Br. Rhodes catch on? —Aug. Menzel informs us that if the business men of town would patronize the street-car line as often as we do there would become possibility of the institution getting along without the recourse to an assessment once in a while, with the possible contingency of a stand-off in wages. If the business men would squander a nickle in a ride on the cars occasionally and see what a really beautiful thoroughfare Center street is from end to end, and how badly it needs sprinkling from depot to depot, it would be better all around. Stop the leaks in the water works, and sprinkle a greater area of city streets. Sprinkle Center street from depot to depot. —a report prevailed in town on Monday that H.E.Huntington had arrived and had started to drive out over the proposed route of the railway from this city to the Alamitos sugar factory. The report had it that Chief Engineer Hood of the railway accompanied him. It transpired later that the report was erroneous, the H.E.Huntington referred to, who arrived in town with a party of railroad surveyors on Sunday evening and registered at the Commercial, being a son of the railroad magnate. George Hood, who is also with the party of surveyors, and who was thought to be the Chief Engineer, is a nephew of that gentleman. This second party of surveyors went immediately into the field, and the fact that a carboard of railroad spikes had arrived at the depot, in addition to the railroad material noted last week, would seem to indicate an early beginning of operations upon the road. —Miss Kate Champlin recovered judgment for $215 from Dr. and Mrs. Paschall in Justice Freeman's court at Santa Ana on Friday last, after a trial of the case that occupied two days of the learned judge's time. Attorney Melrose appeared for the plaintiff, and McKelvey and Boies of Santa Ana for the defendant. A long string of witnesses were summoned, one of whom, a lady, who had been called, unwarrantably as she affirmed, from the Landing by the defendant, positively refused to testify until paid the fee to which the law entitled her. The witness was upheld by the court, and there being no fees in sight, she refused to testify, and was permitted to retrace her PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE Miss Flora Davis is at Newport Beach, enjoying an outing with a party of friends.

Mrs. Cahen and family returned on Tuesday morning from a seven weeks' outing with relatives and friends in Santa Clara county. The return trip was made on the steamship Santa Rosa by way of Redondo. Mrs. McKinley and daughter returned on Tuesday from a week's visit to Santa Monica where she enjoyed meeting with an old-time lady friend and schoolmate from St. Louis. Mr.Wm.Konig,Mrs.Konig,Miss Eichler and Miss Hattie Dotter of Los Angeles who have been spending some time at Santa Monica returned on Wednesday last. Miss Dotter will be the guest of Mrs.Konig for a couple of weeks. Mrs.Fanny Shoemaker and son Fred of Los Angeles visited with Mr. and Mrs.E.Browning several days during the week. She formed one of a jolly party to the Landing on Monday, and on Tuesday returned to her home in Los Angeles. Mrs.Nebelung and family have returned from an absence of several weeks in Los Angeles, where her little daughter underwent treatment for trouble of the eyes. The little patient seems to have entirely recovered, and sees better now than ever. Dr.Tombes was in from Placentia on Tuesday.

Mr.Cargill accompanied by some members of his family, including his father and his daughter Mrs.Harrison, went to San Diego Thursday last, as a representative of the Southern California fruit change, along with the Chamber Of Commerce other leading citizens who accompany representatives of the Japanese Government now in this country, and who probably put on a line of steamers between San Diego and Yokohama.

Miss Kate Champlin recovered judgment for $215 from Dr. and Mrs. Paschall in Justice Freeman's court at Santa Ana on Friday last, after a trial of the case that occupied two days of the learned judge's time. Attorney Melrose appeared for the plaintiff, and McKelvey and Boies of Santa Ana for the defendant. A long string of witnesses were summoned, one of whom, a lady, who had been called, unwarrantably as she affirmed, from the Landing by the defendant, positively refused to testify until paid the fee to which the law entitled her. The witness was upheld by the court, and there being no fees in sight, she refused to testify, and was permitted to retrace her journey to the Landing. The case grew out of a sewing contract, and judgment was recovered for moneys alleged to be due. Hugo Eckstein has forty acres of beets on the Hellman tract about a mile west of the Alamiton schoolhouse. When he cast his eye over the patch on Monday morning he bethought him that he had as fine a patch of beets as could be found in the county, but when he looked again in the afternoon he was dumbfounded to witness about three thousand sheep turned into the patch and doing their best to get away with the tops. Investigation showed that the sheep belonged to the Sentous Bros. of Los Angeles, who claimed to have rented the land from Hellman's agent, to take possession on the lat. Hugo had himself leased the land, and as the shepherd refused to vacate, the chance for a first class lawsuit seemed excellent. Hugo posted off to Los Angeles to see the agent and returned the next day, when instructions were given the sheep borderer to vacate, and the sheep were driven off to pastures now. How much damage was done to the crop could not be ascertained, but the sheep had excellent fodder while they remained. Lee Bourland, son of Editor Bourland of the Independent, has had his lines cast in unlucky places of late, and has scarce recovered from a bad accident to his arm, by having it caught in the rotary movement of a horse power, when word is brought up from the Landing that on Sunday afternoon he fell in a faint upon the beach, after having been in the water at intervals during several hours, and had suffered four apoplectic attacks before being restored to consciousness. Such had been his eagerness to join the crowd going down to the Landing Sunday morning that he ate little if any breakfast, and had partaken of very little sustenance during the day, giving over almost the entire time to bathing. The attack was due to lead poisoning, aggravated by going into the water in his weakened condition. The lad was shortly resuscitated, and word brought up to his parents, who started out for the Landing at 10 o'clock Sunday night, arriving there some hours later. The youth was brought home, where he has been quite low. On Monday he sustained numerous strokes of apoplexy, but was on Tuesday somewhat improved. Yesterday he continued to improve, and will doubtless soon be all right again. Mrs. Bittner was found by her son Nick lying upon the floor of her bedroom at her residence on Friday afternoon last about half-past 4 o'clock, in a semi-conscious state, she having fallen upon the floor and been unable to rise.

Attorney Melrose appeared for the plaintiff, and McKelvey and Boies of Santa Ana for the defendant. A long string of witnesses were summoned, one of whom, a lady, who had been called, unwarrantably as she affirmed, from the Landing by the defendant, positively refused to testify until paid the fee to which the law entitled her. The witness was upheld by the court, and there being no fees in sight, she refused to testify, and was permitted to retrace her journey to the Landing. The case grew out of a sewing contract, and judgment was recovered for moneys alleged to be due. Hugo Eckstein has forty acres of beets on the Hellman tract about a mile west of the Alamiton schoolhouse. When he cast his eye over the patch on Monday morning he bethought him that he had as fine a patch of beets as could be found in the county, but when he looked again in the afternoon he was dumbfounded to witness about three thousand sheep turned into the patch and doing their best to get away with the tops. Investigation showed that the sheep belonged to the Sentous Bros. of Los Angeles, who claimed to have rented the land from Hellman's agent, to take possession on the lat. Hugo had himself leased the land, and as the shepherd refused to vacate, the chance for a first class lawsuit seemed excellent. Hugo posted off to Los Angeles to see the agent and returned the next day, when instructions were given the sheep borderer to vacate, and the sheep were driven off to pastures now.

She had jain there for two hours. Mrs. Bittner is aged 79, and had probably gone to her room to lie down. She had evidently lost her balance in endeavoring to throw back the covering, and had fallen to the floor, striking her arm upon the bed post. Her son assisted her upon the bed and summoned a physician. Mrs. Bittner was alone in the house at the time, all members of the family being away at the springs except Nick, who was down town attending to his duties as Con stable. Nick passed the house several times in pursuit of his duties, and on returning from the Southern Pacific depot at half-past 4 stopped off and entered the house, when he found his mother lying upon the floor as stated. Albert Bittner and wife and Mrs. Nick Bittner were telegraphed to at the springs, and all returned on Monday, Mr. Seale driving them up in a carriage. Mrs. Bittner was yesterday reported to be quite low, but entirely irrational. No improvement was noted in her condition. — Tim Carroll is out again after an accident on the beet dump on Friday morning last that might have terminated seriously. Tim was driving upon the dump, between two loads of beets, having in his light spring wagon a heavy iron bar to be used in repairing the dump. When near the tilt Tim stopped his horses to allow of the unloading of the first wagon, and the dumping of the beets scared his horses and they started to back off the platform. The distance to the ground was about ten feet, and those near at hand were horror-stricken to see the side rail wrenched from its fastening, and the wagon and its occupant tumble over the side. One of the horses fell with the wagon, the other remaining on the dump. The wagon was held by the tugge by the remaining horse, and dangled at the side of the platform. Tim was found to have been very seriously shaken up and bruised, and it was thought for a time that his injuries were worse than they have really turned out to be. The wagon was demolished. Tim was taken to his home near by, where his injuries were ministered to, and he is now about as well as ever.
