LOCAL NEWS ITEMS. What the Water Board Accomplished on Saturday. How the Presence of a Quorum Prevented Secretary Blennerhassett from Going to the Races—Mr. Crowther Called on for a Report, But He did not Remember His Appointment at the Last Meeting—Feeling so Jubilant Over the Return of Prosperity—Death of John Rimpau's Infant Son at Yuma—Remains Shipped Here for Interment—Viet Bentz the New Proprietor of the City Meat Market—Advance Guard of Tramps Comes to Town—Hallowe'en Parties—Report That Ah Foo Was Dead—But He Still Lives—Brevities. The water board met in regular session on Saturday afternoon. When called to order only three members were present, viz., Directors Fay, Benchley and Brownning. The Chair—Call the roll, Mr. Secretary. Secretary Blennerhassett (who wanted to get off and go to the races), after calling the roll—There is no quorum present, Mr. Chairman. A footfall upon the stairway. Sounds like Mr. Crowther. It is Mr. Crowther. The Secretary reports a quorum present. Later Messrs. Key and Nebelung also come in. The Chair announced that the first business in order would be the report from Mr. Crowther relative to his investigations into the payment by the board of 1 per cent to the Union Trust Company of San Francisco for payment of the interest upon the bonds of the company, the interest being made payable through the Union Trust Co. At the last meeting of the board, while in executive session, Mr. Crowther had heard, apparently for the first time, of this payment to the Union Trust Co., and had objected forcibly to it. He was thereupon appointed a special committee to investigate the subject and ascertain where and how the company could do better. The Chair announced that the first business would be his report upon the question. Mr. Crowther (who remembered nothing about it), looking up in a surprised manner—Are you not mistaken, Mr. President? I know nothing about my appointment as such committee man. (At the last meeting Mr. Crowther was feeling particularly jubilant over the walnut situation.) The Chair replied that the gentleman had been duly appointed as such committee, and the board wanted to hear his report. pronounced the verdict of the Coroner’s jury to be. How these papers arrived at this conclusion is a mystery, for “Chapo” Aguilar was not armed and there are grounds for believing the killing, so far from being done in self-defense, was a deliberate and cold-blooded murder. Abran Aguilar, brother of the murdered man, is emphatic in his declaration of this idea, and intimates “Chapo” was inveigled into a disturbance for no other purpose than murder. Abran takes umbrage at the references to him by a certain Santa Ana correspondent: for although he was charged with crime some years ago, the evidence proved conclusively that he was entirely innocent of the despicable charges brought against him. We know of our own knowledge that he was innocent of the crime charged against him. Those who know “Chapo” Aguilar best found many good qualities about him. He was an industrious and hard-working fellow, was the main support of a widowed mother, and while it is true that when under the influence of drink he resented the encroachments of the quarrelsome upon him, yet when sober he was peaceable, good-natured and orderly. Gabriel Reyes, brother of the murderer, shot and killed Quarte Corona, father of the Corona boys about town, the night of Aug. 26, 1883. He ambushed his victim, laying in wait for him at dusk, as Quarte was riding along the roadside between what is now Richfield and Yorba. After the killing he took to his horse and escaped to Sonora, where he has since resided, immune from arrest. The charge of murder against Vicente Reyes will be prosecuted to the end by Abran Aguilar and his family. DEATH OF R. LUEDKE. He Passes Away at 2:30 O'clock Yesterday Afternoon. The community was shocked yesterday afternoon to learn of the death of Rudolph Luedke, which occurred at 2:30 o'clock at his home on Center street, in the 73d year of his age. Mr. Luedke had been confined to his bed for some six weeks past from the effects of chronic nephritis, and his condition during the week had gradually become more alarming. The deceased was one of the Pioneers of Anaheim. He came here in 1863, and during his long and honorable career had made many life-long friends, who will hear of his untimely end with keen regret. The deceased was a watch-maker and jeweler, and for many years was one of the best-known business men in the community. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss. The stricken family have the warm condolence of the entire community in their great loss. The funeral will occur to-morrow. Hleinigkeit. —Yesterday morning we had the heaviest fog of the season. —The Turners will give a concert and ball at Turner hall on Sunday evening. —The next Farmer’s Institute scheduled for Orange county will be held at Westminster, April 4th and 5th next. —Miss Lillian Robinson entertained a number of her friends at a social hop at the Opera-house last Friday night. —The mountain peaks to the north and east show the first snow of the season, and there is an appreciable lowering of the temperature. —The Epworth League of the Methodist church will have a Hallowe’en party at Mr. Jennings’ residence on next Friday evening, the 29th. —The first car-load of this season’s crop of Anaheim walnuts will be shipped East to-day by Mr. Nebelung. Another car will be shipped East on Saturday. —The first ploughing of the season is observable on the lot opposite the Opera-house, where Adair Scott and Frank Nemetz are preparing to put in a crop of barley. —The addition to the central school is being pushed rapidly toward completion. The plasterers are at work and the building will probably be ready for occupancy by the end of next week. —Elder Waggoner will begin a series of discourses, forty-eight in all, at the Christian church next Lord’s day night on the book of Revelation. All are invited to attend these discourses, especially those who disbelieve the Bible. —The meetings at the Salvation Army tent have been largely attended, and the demonstrations upon the street draw out orderly crowds. The exhortations of both men and women members of the army are eagerly listened to, and contributions are liberal. —The Santa Ana races begin next Tuesday, and there will be a barbecue on the opening day, presided over by Marco Forster, to which everybody is invited. The race program is a good one, and doubtless large crowds will be drawn to the track each day during the meeting. —The Turners have in preparation a concert entertainment to be given at the beginning of next month, in charge of Prof. F. Reiser. Besides vocal and instrumental music two comic plays will be given, viz., “A Trip of the Singing Society to Kameroon” and “The Turn-Section of Kameroon.” An enjoyable time is anticipated. —The Hall Safe and Lock Co.last The Chair announced that the next business was the report of the committee appointed at the last meeting to investigate the charges that the cut and fill at Flume 12 had not been made in conformity to the plans and specifications. Mr. Browning of the committee reported that he had written out a report, but as the others of the committee (Messrs. Benchley and Key) had made objections to it, he did not care to present it. The committee was granted further time. Engineer Sherwood reported that he had platted the cross sections of the ditch, with a view to laying off the main canal into sections, and had made an investigation of the maps and records belonging to the company. He read an inventory of the same, showing the divisions of the old irrigation district, made by H. C. Kellogg; also the lines of the ditches, and specifications for the La Habra and Yorba reservoirs, and other miscellaneous records of value. The Chair suggested that these were all records of value to the company, and that the ditch could thereby be laid off into sections, the purpose being to admit of referring at a moment's notice to the location of damages on the ditch, where repairs are being made, and to keep a record of what each section of the ditch is costing the stockholders. The Chair suggested that in accordance with the suggestion of the engineer, the ditch be laid off, not in sections of arbitrary length, but in accordance with its natural features. Adopted. Mr. Crowther and Engineer Sherwood were appointed a committee to lay off the ditch in sections, following this suggestion; the flumes, water gates and other features of the ditch, to be numbered and the features otherwise designated, and a system of books opened showing the expense account of each section. Engineer Sherwood reported on the contemplated change in the outlet for the culvert, at the cut and fill at Flume 12, from the crib work as recommended by C. S. Rogers, to a cement outfall. Mr. Sherwood submitted a sketch of the work, showing that 17.7 cubic yards of cement were necessary, and 50 yards of excavating. The estimated charge for excavating he placed at 50 cents per yard (Mr. Rogers had estimated the cost for the excavation for the cut at the same place at 11 cents.). The board adopted Mr. Sherwood's plans and specifications for the work, being of the impression that the crib work would soon wash out, and on motion of Mr. Key, the work was ordered done by day labor under the supervision of the engineer. The Chair brought up the matter of the filling of the old ditch at Flume 12, saying the agreement with the Land company was that the same should be filled in by Oct. 24th. The Secretary was authorized to advertise for proposals to do the work, bids to be opened Nov. 6. The deceased was one of the Pioneers of Anaheim. He came here in 1863, and during his long and honorable career had made many life-long friends, who will hear of his untimely end with keen regret. The deceased was a watch-maker and jeweler, and for many years was one of the best-known business men in the community. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss. The stricken family have the warm condolence of the entire community in their great loss. The funeral will occur to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. A more extended biographical sketch of the deceased will appear in our succeeding issue. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS For The Week Ending Oct. 18, 1897.

A telegram was received on Tuesday day from John Rimpau at Yuma and nouncing the death of his infant son at that place on that day. The child was one of twins born some fourteen months ago, the other having died at its birth. The remains of both children were shipped here for interment and arrived yesterday morning on the Southern Pacific train. The remains were taken to the Catholic church, where the funeral services were conducted by Father Bannon, the families of the parents being in attendance. The remains were placed in the family vault in the cemetery. Attention is directed to the advertisement of Twomey & Mills, dealers in farm wagons and buggies, farming implements, etc., which will be found in another column this morning. These well-known gentlemen are successors to A. Pfahler & Son and will continue the business at the old stand, formerly occupied by Jno. Schauman. Their storeroom is being remodeled and a brand-new stock of wagons and buggies, plows, etc., is being put in. Mr Mills will be the manager of the business, and Mr. Twomey and Rex Cayce who has taken a position with the new firm will give their attention to our side work. The new firm starts out auspiciously, and will endeavor by keeping up with the times to merit share of the public patronage. People in Fullerton and along Orangethorpe avenue are incensed at the opening of an evil resort in their neighborhood by two painted females from Los Angeles. The house was rented to them by Dr. Pfeninger, within a stone's throw of the place where the waif Nellie Blank underwent her dressing experiences at his hands. The den is in plain view of travelers upon the main road between this city and Fullerton, and that it should be permitted to exist is a reproach to the people of the entire community. The people should rise in their might and have seen that the unfortunate inmate of the place are made to depart, should visit their wrath upon the far more despicable wretch through whose connivance the women are permitted to flaunt themselves in the eyes of the public. The new City restaurant in the Backs' block, which will be formally opened to the public by F. Sadelius and Emil Turck this morning, is just the eating house where the hungry way Gleimigkeiten.

Since Monday painters and paper hangers have been at work transforming the restaurant into a new place, and the interior as well as exterior now presents a very pleasing and favorable appearance. Chef Sadelius is one of the best-known cooks and bakers on the coast, and will cater to a large patronage by giving especial attention to Spanish dishes. He has a worthy assistant in Mr. Turck, and we hope the new proprietors will feel that prosperity has struck them in their new enterprise. The wire cord holding in place the electric arc in front of the City Hall broke on Tuesday night, letting the lamp down to within fourteen feet of the ground. The are continued burning. Yesterday a new wire cord was put in and last evening the light burned from its usual altitude. Stern Bros. have purchased Schloss' stock of dry goods, boots, shoes and furnishing goods, and will on Saturday next begin a clearance sale at the store premises in the Odd Fellows' block. The entire countryside has been strewn with posters detailing the rare bargains to be met with at the sale, and the firm's purpose to beat all former records in clearance sales will no doubt be fulfilled. The Stern Bros. are rustlers, and those who wish to see goods go at a lively rate should attend this new clearance sale. Viet Bentz has purchased his brother Ernest's interest in the City Meat Market, and is again at his accustomed place at that popular establishment. Viet is an expert butcher, and will keep on hand the best market afords. He will put on the delivery wagon again, and will do his best to please his customers. Meat has gone up, but Viet will sell as low as the lowest, and solicits a share of the public patronage. It is reported that a resurvey of the San Joaquin ranch has been ordered by the Government. It has been an open question for years that Irvine's title to much of the best part of the ranch is defective, in that the land is not rightfully included within the lines of the original survey. By some it is even claimed that a correct survey will show 30,000 acres of the best part of the ranch to be Government property. The Settlers' league which has been contesting Irvine's right to the rancho will doubtless watch the resurvey with a great deal of interest. Mr. Irvine denies the report. No beets are being shipped this week, and none will be shipped until the first week in November, some reports having it that none will be shipped until the 7th. All the beets unharvested are being ploughed out and ill-fated for them on additional rays. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. Houck is again at his office, after a brief illness. Druggist Derge made a business visit to Los Angeles yesterday. Mrs. Curtis came over on Saturday from Long Beach to pay a short visit to Mrs. Metz. Miss Julia Nemetz returned on Monday from a three-week' visit with friends at Redlands. Miss Edith Fay will entertain her friends Saturday evening of next week at a Hallowe'en party. N. Hart and wife and Mrs. Metz enjoyed a pleasant outing in Soquel canyon on Sunday. H. Deutsch, the well-known Los Angeles capitalist, was in town yesterday looking as handsome as ever. Jeweler Reber contemplates moving back to Calaveras county next week. He contemplates going to the Klondike in the spring. W. F. Lutz was over from Santa Ana on Tuesday, assisting Manager Whann in getting his implement business ready for the winter campaign. O. P. Staub was in from the Staub ranch at Placentia yesterday. He reports the walnut crop keeping everybody busy. Harrison Yarnell, a brother-in-law of Druggist Derge, returned last week from Kern county, where he has been investigating some mining property. Host Stout has had the wire screens in front door at the Commercial removed, and replaced with panes of glass. Cold weather coming on. W. F. Botsford came down from Los Angeles yesterday on a short trip connected with the formation of a new walnut growers' association. Gov. Whitaker and wife were in from Buena Park yesterday. The Governor came in to get shaved and have his hair cut. T. J. House was in from Northam station on Tuesday. Mr. House still uses crutches, but is rapidly recovering from the effects of the injury to his heel, and will soon no doubt be able to get about as usual. J. B. Stone of Fullerton has recovered from his recent stroke of apoplexy sufficiently to be able to be about again. Mr. Stone is too good a citizen to be long in bed, and we hope he may be spared for many years of usefulness and activity. Agent Darling was in attendance at the preliminary examination of the Reyes murder trial in Judge Marquez's court at Yorba last week. He is satisfied the killing of Chapo Aguilar was a Dr. Johnson and George Whitaker were in from Buena Park on Monday. Herman Dickel, Clarence Groat and L. Goldwater attended Saturday's fair for-all pace at the Los Angeles meet. W. M. McFadden drove down to Peat Lands on Saturday to inspect old Sanford Johnson ranch, recently sold to a San Francisco bank, and which he is acting as the receiver. Crop of corn has been raised on land the past season. Tim Carroll came up town on Monday afternoon, his first appearance since the recent trouble with his eyes. He was confined to the house a month more with badly inflamed eyes, but now recovering. Mrs. Scott has returned from Angeles, and will take up her permanent residence here. She will erect five-room cottage on her twenty-a-tract on the corner of North and Ouest streets, and will occupy it with family. Jim Rimpau was presented by wife at San Pedro on Thursday with a bouncing baby girl. Jim is Southern Pacific station agent at San Pedro, and with the added honors of father upon him ought to feel more important and high-toned than ever. Miss Helena Wenzel has arrived from San Francisco for a visit with Luedke's family, and will probably main for a protracted stay. Miss Wenzel is an accomplished young lady vivacious disposition and cannot fail make many friends during her journ in Anaheim. Otto Zeus has abandoned the print business for railroading, and now copies a position as Agent Clabaugh understudy at the Santa Fe state Willie Wallop has taken his place our composing room, and is learning how to bunch up type with both hands. John Wunder of San Diego, manages of the noted brewery of that city, in town on Thursday last, accompanied by Geo. Wilton of Santa Ana. Wunder informs us as demand San Diego beer is so great that it is most impossible to keep up with call for it. The brewery is being doubled in capacity. Jack Hunter was in town on Tuesday and reports the road sprinkler a g success. Last week's rain cut its short, but Jack says that when he buys Placentia avenue to Miraflores tractors will pronounce the highway a t-thought of beauty and a joy forever. He suggests that the city fathers repair the ouing sections of Los Angeles street which will be included within this sprinkled area. Messra Parsons and Brioli come down from Los Angeles on Tuesday. The farmers have in preparation an entertainment to be given at the beginning of next month, in charge of Reiser.

The child was born some fourteen months later having died at its birth. Sins of both children were there for interment and arderday morning on the Southside train. The remains were the Catholic church, where all services were conducted byannon, the families of the paring in attendance. The re-placement in the Chino ranch are considerably discouraged over the con- ranch is defective, in that the land is not rightly included within the lines of the original survey. By some it is even claimed that a correct survey will show 30,000 acres of the best part of the ranch to be Government property The Settlers' league which has been contesting Irvine's right to the rancho will doubtless watch the resurvey with a great deal of interest. Mr. Irvine denies the report. No beets are being shipped this week, and none will be shipped until the first week in November, some reports having it that none will be shipped until the 7th. All the beets unharvested are being ploughed out and siloled, and for these an additional payment of twenty cents per ton will be allowed by the factory. The sugar tests are low, the last daily test at Chino (made on Wednesday) being 13.1 sugar and 78.1 purity—the lowest ever reported from that point. This test was made before the rain; what the averages have since been not yet been reported. The rain of last Wednesday night drove in the advance guard of the winter's crop of tramps, and on Thursday evening four lusty hoboes tramped into town. They began begging for the wherewithal to purchase beer, and along toward 8 o'clock were quite under the influence of their numerous imbibitions. While Marshal Steadman was standing upon the sidewalk about this time, with his eagle eye fixed upon the tourists, two of them approached him saying: "Say, pardner, can't you help a feller with a little assistance to get a can of beer?" "No sir; I cannot," he replied. "Can't you do anything for us?" pleaded the tramps. "Yes; I can lock you up," replied the Marshal, as he collared both tramps and marched them off to jail. A third trump came running up, pleading: "Sav, Mr. Officer; them's me friends; please let them go." You come along too," replied the Marshal; and the three hoboes were locked up for the night to keep them out of mischief. They were liberated at half-past 8 o'clock Friday morning and told to leave town. They scooted. Silkwood was distanced in the free-for-all pace at the Los Angeles meeting on Saturday, being in no condition to go on account of his lameness. The previous evening a rumor prevailed that he would probably not start, but when Williams, his driver, went to the judges' stand at the time the race was called and asked that the horse be permitted to retire, he was ordered on the track and after seeing the horse go the judges refused to allow the request. Searchlight was the favorite in the pools, selling at $25, Joe Wheeler second choice at $16, and Silkwood in the field with Our Boy at $12. Wheeler took two first heats, and Searchlight the next three, winning the race and first money. Silkwood was never in the race, and was distanced in the third heat. The best time was 2:10, which was made in the first heat by Joe Wheeler. After the many reports of Silkwood's good condition that have come to us of late, his performance on the track was discouraging, to say the least, and many are they who opine that the black stallion, who was once regarded as a coming world beater, is a back number. Silkwood is 12 years old; Searchlight is 3. The farmers of the Chino ranch are considerably discouraged over the con- station on Tuesday. Mr. House still uses crutches, but is rapidly recovering from the effects of the injury to his heel, and will soon no doubt be able to get about as usual. J. B.

Lewis was stricken with an attack of heart failure on Friday morning and for a time the gravest consequences were feared. Drs.

Mr. Thiele came down yesterday from Los Angeles, where he has been sojourning for some days past, and where he has determined to take up his permanent residence. Mr. Thiele's many friends in this city will be sorry to lose him from amongst us, but are always glad to see him when he returns on a visit. Mr. Thiele can't stay away from Anaheim long. Walter Eyman is entertaining his two brothers-in-law, Richard Schellens and Rhinold G. Schellens, who arrived from Cologne, Germany.

The rain of the past week has made it necessary that the 25,000 tons or more of beets now in the ground be harvested immediately to prevent them entering upon a new growth and thereby becoming valuable. As the factory cannot handle the crop as fast as it can be harvested, it becomes necessary for the beets to be stored in silos, and the farmers are hunting everywhere for men to rush the harvest through. Immediately after the rain the factory called on the farmers to begin the work of siloing the remaining beets, and provision is made for handling the beets at the silos as rapidly as at the factory, thus doubling the ability to dispose of beets. The factory assumes at least a portion of this expense, allowing the growers 20 cents per ton for the work of siloing, though it is stipulated that the farmers must bear all the risk of the beets in the silos, and must stand the shrinkage in sugar properties. The farmers are considerably incensed at this loss which is devolving upon them, as they claim that their beets have been ready to harvest for weeks, but the factory would not receive them, and they insist that it is unjust to compel them to stand a loss due to the anxiety of the factory to make an extra long run this year.

Mrs. Kirby's home at Peralta was the scene of a very joyous gathering on Thursday afternoon last, the occasion being the meeting of the ladies' euchre club. The members of the club were driven out in Lewis' bus, the rain of the previous evening making private rigs unavailable. Mrs. Kirby proved to be an hospitable hostess, and the meeting was one of the most enjoyable in the history of the club. Mrs. Schneider by superior playing won the first prize, Mrs. Charley Rogers the second, and Mrs. L. F. Lewis the booby. After refreshments were served the party bade their hostess au revoir, and the homeward journey was begun. The ladies returned at dusk, having made the journey without mishap, all hands happy over having spent such a delightful afternoon. Judge Ballard has overruled defendant's demurrer in the case of Pfeninger vs. Wintter, which set forth that plaintiff was non compos mentis, and as such incapable of suing. Defendant has twenty days in which to answer. The case, in which Uncle Pfeninger seeks to recover $7500 for damages alleged to have been sustained in chasement at the hands of Wintter, will probably come on for trial some time before Christmas. Wintter pronounces Pfeninger's charges a tissue of falsehoods, and says that Pfeninger branded a knife, with which he was topping vines, before his face, using threatening language meanwhile, when he slapped him over and walked away. For this Uncle wants $7500. He will probably get about 75 cents. Saalwaechter resided in Anaheim seven years, having been employed some three months by Wm.
