THE NEWS OF THE WEEK Water Company to Construct a Fill at Flmne 12. The Water Board on Saturday Decides to Do the Work by Day's Labor—Action Taken in the Matter of the Tampering With the Water Gates by E. R. Amerige—Young Folk's Party—List of Beet Tests and the Daily Average—Mrs. Krueger Breathed Her Last Yesterday Morning—Mr. Bancroft in a Temporary Fit of Aberration Swallows Poison—The Supervisors Thinking of Constructing a New Bridge Over the Santa Ana River—Billy Boyd Loses His Bicycle—Local Brevities. The water board met in regular session on Saturday, Mr. Benchley in the chair, and Messrs. Browning, Key, Nebelung and Crowther present. A communication was received from E. K. Benchley calling the board's attention to the condition of the ditch at the west side of the flume at the North Branch ditch, where the water acquires such velocity that it has washed out a hole at the end of the flume. Mr. Benchley wrote saying that he stood ready to furnish the necessary dirt for filling the hole, provided it be taken from points designated by him, or he would fill the hole, which required 770 yards of dirt, for $75, the same to be credited on his account, to be taken out in water. To the Ditch Committee. The chair stated that his attention had been called to the bad condition of the flume back of Lefflingwell's place. To the Ditch Committee. The matter of the charge against E. R. Amerige for meddling with the gates was taken up and discussed, and Supt. Sheppard made a verbal report thereupon, charging Amerige with taking water from the ditch on several occasions by lifting the gate, and naming witnesses who are prepared to go into court and give testimony there upon. A written report being called for, Zanjero Stone prepared and later submitted such report, charging Amerige with lifting the gate on the 14th, 15th and 26th of June. The report was filed and the matter placed in the hands of the attorney. Attorney Melrose directed the to be sweet, for they were "stolen." Mr. Key had been missing oranges and other fruits from his orchard for some time past, and on Tuesday evening captured the larcenist in the person of one Frank Stevens, who had driven up in his wagon on the roalside and was helping himself to fruit of all kinds. Mr. Stevens was quite impartial to the different kinds of fruit in the orchard, and helped himself to oranges, lemons, plums and other kinds to his heart's content. Mr. Key had instructed his men to be on the lookout for the thief and they were successful in discovering him on Tuesday evening as stated, and he was taken into custody. Yesterday Judge Pierce sentenced Stevens to pay a fine of $15 for his escapade, or serve fifteen days in jail. The oranges are firm and of splendid flavor, and all we have to say is that if Mr. Stevens had got away with them, he would have had a particularly fine lot of oranges, even though he did take them unlawfully. Officer Fox escorted Stevens to the County Jail yesterday afternoon to serve his sentence. BEETS HIGH IN SUGAR. Twenty-Five Carloads a Day Shipped to Chino. An average of twenty-five carloads of beets per day are being shipped to Chino, and the saccharine average for the season thus far is upwards of 17 per cent. The daily averages for July 12th and 13th were 18.7 and 18.5 respectively, and as the beets delivered attain a larger size, the sugar content has dropped a shade, being nevertheless, of a very high order of excellence. The beets delivered last week were small, but are now coming in larger. The laboratory employees are kept busy making tests of beets that are delivered at Anaheim, Buena Park and Benedict, and work overtime every evening, frequently being up as late as 12 o'clock. More samples are being tested than ever, on Saturday the number of tests made being 116. The following are the averages taken from the books at the office, through the kindness of Mr. Schroeder and Chemists Varner and Snyder: SUGAR PURITY: M. F. Dunham...19.8 85.9 D. Bobst...18.9 85.4 W. Brown...18.4 85.3 D. Kerns...20.3 86.6 C. Veeder...18.8 84.9 B. B Hadley...21.5 86.2 Hleinigkeiten. The Turners will give a social hour at Kroeger's hall Saturday night. The fence enclosing the park at the Santa Fe depot has been completed. Landlord Stout has introduced electric lights into the office and cafe of the Commercial hotel. W. W. Scott and Eddie Boege have been engaged at the power-house during the week doing carpenter work. A force of carpenters yesterday began enlarging the power house to enclose the new improvements lately put in at the city water works. Sonnon Marquis, aged 15 years and 7 months, died of consumption at his home on Oak street, near Palm, on Saturday, and was buried on Sunday. The Ladies' Aid society of the Presbyterian church will meet at the home of Mrs. Grimshaw this afternoon. All members and their friends invited. The Alamitos sugar factory started up operations on Monday. Reports that have come up from the factory are to the effect that the beets are running high in sugar. The Supervisors have set August 4 as the time for hearing the petition of R. E. Larter and others for abandoning a certain portion of the road to Anaheim Landing. The Landing is commencing to attract visitors and quite a number were at the beach Sunday. As yet no campers are there, but soon the usual influx of tenters may be expected. Agent Clabaugh sold eight tickets to Eastern points on Monday, which embraced the family of Mr. Curtiss, who go to Illinois, and the family of R. M. Johnson, who have been living on the Nutt ranch, and who go to Missouri. Attention is directed to the advertisement of the new San Diego brewery, which will be found among the new advertisements on the second page. This brewery's product is pronounced to be the finest made in the west. The C. E. society of the Presbyterian church and Epworth league of the Methodist church will hold a union meeting on next Sunday evening at the Presbyterian church to hear the report of their delegates to the convention at San Francisco. Assessor Nebelung has about completed the taking of the city assessment which facts do not seem correct The matter of the charge against E. R. Amerige for meddling with the gates was taken up and discussed, and Supt. Sheppard made a verbal report thereupon, charging Amerige with taking water from the ditch on several occasions by lifting the gate, and naming witnesses who are prepared to go into court and give testimony thereupon. A written report being called for, Zanjero Stone prepared and later submitted such report, charging Amerige with lifting the gate on the 14th, 15th and 26th of June. The report was filed and the matter placed in the hands of the attorney. Attorney Melrose directed the board's attention to the fact that Amerige was now out of the State, and the matter was allowed to rest in the attorney's hands until that gentleman's return. In reference to the cutting of the banks of the ditch on the Wilshire place, Mr. Browning reported verbally that he had gone over and seen where the ditches had been cut. Mr. Crowther had been unable to go with the committee, having been busy irrigating, and no official report was made. The committee was granted further time. Mr. Key asked what progress had been made with the work of getting deeds for the Foos ditch. Mr. Crowther replied that he had received all the deeds for the ditch with the exception of that of Mr. Krick, whom he had been unable to see. He promised to close the matter up as soon as he should be able to see that gentleman. Attorney Melrose reported that a settlement had been effected with Mr. Christian and the other laborers engaged on the so-called Schade pipe, upon the basis of the recent decision of the court, viz., sixty cents on the dollar, less cost of suit, ($10 60). A receipt in full was read from the laborers, releasing the company from further liability, but stipulating that no release existed as to Schade. The board went into executive session to consider bids for putting in the fill at Flume 12. One bid was submitted, that of C. E. Groat, offering to do the cement work for $699. After a lengthy discussion the board decided, 3 to 2, to reject the bid, and decided that the company do the work itself. Stockholders desiring to work at hauling gravel or excavating may get jobs by applying to Superintendent Sheppard. On the suggestion of Mr. Key the board decided to go up the ditch on the yearly inspection of the ditch, and Monday next was fixed upon as the date. YOUNG FOLKS' PARTY. Misses Jessie and Winifred Melrose entertain Their Friends at a Lawn Party. Misses Jessie and Winifred Melrose entertained their friends at a lawn party at their parents' residence on Saturday evening. The spacious grounds were handsomely illuminated with a hundred Japanese lanterns strung on wires and suspended from the tree tops, the scene being one of entrancing beauty. Cosy nooks and over-hanging arbors made delightful retreats for the young folks, and hammocks swung from the trees afforded luxurious repose to many. Lucky the swain who, reclining in a hammock, had two or three pretty girls engaging him in converse. Social converse and games upon the lawn served to while away a very pleasant making tests of beets that are delivered at Anaheim, Buena Park and Benedict, and work overtime every evening, frequently being up as late as 12 o'clock.

Cosy nooks and over-hanging arbors made delightful retreats for the young folks, and hammocks swung from the trees afforded luxurious repose to many. Lucky the swain who, reclining in a hammock, had two or three pretty girls engaging him in converse. Social converse and games upon the lawn served to while away a very pleasant evening, and the sprigs of mistletoe that hung suspended at numerous intervals—well, we won't say anything about the mistletoe. From within music floated out voluptuously upon the lawn and garden, and many couples danced. Later a number favored the assemblage with songs. Refreshments were served and as the witching hour of midnight approached the party dispersed to their homes. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Melrose, Misses Jessie and Whitfred Melrose, Mrs. S.

The big retiring from business sale at the Red Front is creating a sensation throughout the county. We have given this firm's reasons for leaving Santa Ana, in a previous article. All we have to add is this: They are positively going away, and the way they are sacrificing all their goods is a surprise to all bargain-seekers. This popular firm will leave a great many friends behind when they leave. Those who have always done their trading with the Red Front since they located in Santa Ana, are always speaking in praise of the methods of business as conducted by this firm and will miss them very much when they are gone. Go and get your bargains at the Red Front before it is too late. STOLEN ORANGES. George B. Key invaded the editorial sanctum yesterday morning, bringing in an armful of lovely Valencia oranges, of which he has yet several carloads. He remarked that the oranges ought SWALLOWED POISON. While laboring under temporary mental aberration on Tuesday afternoon at about 4 o'clock, B. H. Bancroft, an old and highly respected citizen living on Orangethorpe avenue, swallowed a piece of bread in which strychine had been spread for the killing of mice about the household, and as we write, on Wednesday morning, his condition is critical. After swallowing the poison Mr. Bancroft was taken with convulsions, and his serious condition being noted by Mrs. Burnett, who lives with her husband on the place, he informed her that he had eaten a piece of poisoned bread. Dr. Calder was hurriedly called and applied antidotes. Although a sufficient quantity of poison had not been absorbed to cause instant death, Dr. Calder was doubtful yesterday morning if Mr. Bancroft could recover. John Bancroft, son of the unfortunate gentleman who lives in Los Angeles, was telegraphed to and was expected down on the first train. John C. Wunder, Vice-President and General Manager of the well-known San Diego brewery, was in town yesterday. Mr. Wunder had only a moment to stay, as his business calls were such that he had to step lively in order to get through and catch the train for home. He has introduced his beer into Los Angeles, it being sold at the Nadeau and Hollenbeck and many other first-class establishments. It is the coming beer of California, and $1,000 is offered any person showing it to contain any deleterious drugs, which one meets so frequently in beer. In town one may be regaled with a beverage of this delicious beer at Wisser's and Aug. Freise's. Tim Boege is the resident agent. Mr. Wunder will make regular visits up this way, and we hope to meet him often.

Jacob Heberle of Garden Grove came into town on Monday and made an attempt to recover his wagon, as he alleged, from W.J.Dougherty whose residence is on Los Angeles street. Mr.Dougherty objected to the removal as much as possible, but on Mr.Heblerle drawing a knife,and brandishing it in a threatening manner,Dougherty withdrew and Heberle departed with the wagon.Later on a complaint against Heberle for assault was sworn to by Dougherty in Justice Landell's court. It seems Dougherty purchased the wagon from Heberle,giving his note therefor,and as the latter had not received payment for the vehicle,hhe sought to take the law into his own hands and recovered it. Constable Bittner brought the defendant into court,bbut not without quite a tussle.The matter was continued for trial by Justice Landell until to-day.in the hope that some friend of the defendantwho is said to be incompetent.will come forward and aid him in the case Turners will give a social hopper's hall Saturday night.

Mr. Heberle has a brother in good circumstances living near Norwalk, and the presumption is that he will come forward and exercise a brotherly care over him. Charles Cook, a plasterer of Ontario, was killed at Chino on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, by being run over by a beet train that was being switched in the yards. Both of his legs were taken off just below the knees, and he lived only a few minutes. Cook was said to have been under the influence of liquor, and was lying on the track asleep. He has a family living in Ontario. The Board of Equalization has disposed of the cases on protest against the 1897 assessment figures, and the tax roll will now remain as modified. The sum of $225 was added to the assessment of H. D. Carr for improvements on his property in Orange. The assessment on the land of D. R. Proffer was reduced by $200 and that on improvements was raised from $25 to $125. A block of land in Anaheim belonging to R. Melrose was reduced in the assessment by $150. W. T. Howlett and Frank Gates are at work on the cement well pit this week. On Tuesday the wrought iron casing was lowered into the "sump," a hole seven feet deep in the center of the bottom of the pit, and yesterday was devoted to calking and making the casing air tight. After the flow of water is stayed, a layer of concrete will be placed over the top of the "sump," when it is believed the pit will be made water tight. In a few days, as soon as the cement hardens, the floor will probably be ready to receive the pump. Joseph Helmsen is in receipt of a letter from our former fellow townsman Carl Pamperl, who lives in Zurich, Switzerland, in which he writes that he has great hopes of one day seeing Anaheim growing to be a flourishing commercial center of importance.

Supervisor Potter informs us that at the meeting of the Supervisors on Monday the board discussed the advisability of constructing a new bridge over the Santa Ana river to take the place of the present combined county and railroad bridge. The board looked favorably upon the matter of a new bridge across the river inasmuch as the old one is in serious need of repair and invites constant disaster by virtue of the passing trains. The bridge in contemplation will be placed some forty or fifty rods north of the present bridge. If rights of way can be secured, there is excellent prospect for the building of the new bridge this fall. The road leading thereto will deviate from the present thoroughfare a quarter of a mile this side of the river and lead up to it at an easy angle, and will not lengthen the road to the county seat but a very short distance. Contrary to expectation the width of the river at the point designated, instead of being wider than at the site of the present bridge, is 100 feet narrower. Mrs. Mary Krueger, wife of Herman Krueger, died at her home in Alamitos at half past eight o'clock yesterday morning.

This is Ms.Milkins' first visit to California, and she may be prevailed upon to remain permanently. William A. Clark of Butte, Montana president of the Alamitos Sugar Company, was a visitor to the new sugar factory last week. Other recent visitors to Alamitos have been T.R.Cuttle manager of the Lehl Utah, factor and C.R.Granger, superintendent and M.D.WIngalls, engineer of the establishment.

Square-Dealing am Mrs. Mary Krueger, wife of Herman Krueger, died at her home in Alamitos at half past eight o'clock yesterday morning. She succumbed to nervous paralysis, of which she had been afflicted some three months past, recovering at times sufficiently to be able to be about, and then being taken with another attack that seemed to leave her weaker than before. For eight days past she had been in a constant stupor and breathed her last yesterday as stated. Mrs. Krueger was a native of Hanover, Germany, and was aged 46 years, 8 months and 20 days. She was a lady of many excellent traits of character, and her untimely end will be mourned by a wide circle of friends. The interment will occur tomorrow afternoon at 2, at the Anaheim cemetery. Friends of the deceased are invited without further notice. While Arthur Lewis was engaged with the force of electric light men in distributing the new electric light lamps and other paraphernalia along the streets on Tuesday afternoon, and when his horse and wagon were standing in front of Kistler's, the animal took fright and started to run away. It ran wildly down Center street, scattering electric light paraphernalia indiscriminately in the thoroughfare as far as Mons. Pouchon's rotisserie, where its mad career was brought to a stop. No serious damage to the electrical instruments resulted, only one globe being broken, the others having been a short time before removed to admit of washing. The scattered apparatus was gathered up, the horse and wagon was brought back, and the work of installing the new plant went on as if nothing had happened. While Billy Boyd was attending prayer meeting at the Christian church on Wednesday evening a thief stole his bicycle, which he had left leaning up against the west wall of the building. Two young men were seen to drive by in a light vehicle, and one of them alighted and walked over to the bicycle and shortly returned with it and rode off upon it. The man in the vehicle halted for him a short distance further on, and when the thief rode up on the wheel both moved off together. When prayer meeting was over and the loss of the bicycle was discovered, Billy informed Marshal Steadman of the theft, and the two tracked the thief as far as Ball's place, three miles west of town, returning by way of Newberry's ranch on the Garden Grove road. They arrived in town at a quarter past 1 o'clock Thursday morning, unable to say whether the thief had gone to Alamitos or Westminster. Postal cards bearing a printed description of the bicycle have been sent to officers in neighboring towns, and probably the wheel will be recovered. William A. Clark of Butte, Montana president of the Alamitos Sugar Company, was a visitor to the new sugar factory last week.

A.H.Cargill returned last week from a trip to Yuma and Tucson, A.L., where he arrived just in time to experience the recent hot spell, and he forms us the weather was warm. The drawing room of the car at Tucson in which he returned the thermometer was up to the limit of the tube, 110 degrees, and in Yuma it was 112 at o'clock at night. Sleep was out of question, and all hands on the trays were supremely uncomfortable under the cooling breezes of the Pacific wave encountered on the way home. M.Cargill was a fortnight in the Territorial and is glad to get back. Fred Sweet and W.A.Linder left Saturday morning for Nogales, driving in their team overland. They go way of San Diego, and thence across the desert to Yuma. The trip to Nogales will consume some five or six weeks, the distance being 700 miles and the voyage across the desert will take six or seven days. This trip particularly hazardous at this time, but the boys select the route in the belief that water will be more plentiful than on a more northern route.
