BIG CHIEF MEDICINE MAN. Tomahawks to Death the New Water Office Building. Two Bids Received for the Erection of the Building, but Both Rejected, and an Effort to Readvertise for More Bids Also Tomahawked Into Ihsensibility—Comes to Town With War Paint and War Feathers on, and Goes to Santa Ana in the Evening to Hear a Free-Silver Speech—Up Goes the Price of Water—What the Water Board Did at Its Meeting on Saturday Afternoon. Big Medicine Man McFadden came in from the reservation at Placentia on Saturday afternoon with a coating of war paint and war feathers on, to attend the meeting of the water board. He had taken the precaution to sharpen up his tomahawk to a razor's edge, and he slashed to pieces the project of erecting an office building for the company on Fritz Ruhmann's lot, so kindly donated to the company by that gentleman for that purpose; leaving the same a bleeding and mangled corpse, with a wicked snickersnee thrust under the fifth rib. Two bids for the erection of the building were received, and on motion of the Big Medicine Man they were on being read promptly rejected. Later a tentative motion to readvertise for bids for the erection of the building, made by Nebelung, was also promptly tomahawked to death, and that's the reason the company will not erect the building this dry year. Times are too hard, there's a dry year ahead of us, and it's cementing of ditches the company ought to be about, instead of putting up buildings, were the arguments of the Big Medicine Man, and as three other members of the board sided with him, the building went by default, and the company is out $80 for the plans and specifications and other expenses incurred to bring the matter to a vote. All the members of the board were present, the first time in probably a year, viz., Directors Fay, Browning, Benchley, Nebelung, McFadden, Pierotti and Carpenter. The first business taken up was the application of J. A. Vail for the issuance to him of a duplicate certificate of stock in lieu of one lost by him. The board ordered that when Mr. Vail shall have complied with the rules of the company in such cases made and provided — making an indemnifying bond insuring the company against the Porter, being unaccompanied by the required check, was not read. The Chair—What shall we do with the bids— Mr. McFadden—I move they all be rejected. Mr. Pierotti—I second the motion. Mr. Benchley arose and said he did not understand the motion. While he was not in favor of erecting the building at the present time, still bids had been advertised for, and he considered it the part of wisdom that instead of peremptorily setting them aside, the board should defer consideration of them until some future time, until the board may be in more harmonious feeling regarding the matter. He said that he had come across no little opposition to the erection of the building on the part of a number of shareholders, on account of the hard times. There is no doubt, he added, that we are looking into the face of a very hard season; there has been little rain, the walnuts brought little money and times are hard on all sides. Mr. McFadden arose and said the reason why he opposed the building at this time was the advance in the price of all building material, the dry season coming on, hard times and tight rubbing all around. Nine out of ten of the people do not know how they are going to get through the year. Times look squally, and he observed no prosperity in the land. The new building meant an assessment, and he was opposed to imposing any further burdens upon the shareholders. He favored reductions in everything. Mr. Pierotti thought the $2000 should be applied to cementing the upper ditch. After a further discussion a vote was called for and the motion to reject all the bids was carried—Ayes: McFadden, Benchley, Pierotti and Carpenter. Noes—Browning and Nebelung. Mr. McFadden, referring again to the matter of the salary of the second zanjero on the upper ditch, moved that the Superintendent be instructed to reduce that person's salary from $45 to $40. He added that if the Superintendent failed to so reduce the salary, the bylaws could be changed to take the fixing of the salaries out of the Superintendent's hands. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pierotti, and carried—Ayes: McFadden, Pierotti, Benchley and Carpenter. Noes—Browning and Nebelung. Herr Nebelung, arising with a smile that was childlike and bland, after holding a whispered conversation with Mr. Browning, moved that bids be advertised for for the erection of an office building. The company's records were almost priceless, and if destroyed by fire could many of them never be replaced. It was important to look out for the interests of the stockholders in the matter of cementing of the ditches, but it was appropriate to protect their interests in the company's Kleinigkeiten. —Want to buy an Agitator? —The signal service predicts rain! —Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Lent begins. —the water office may be moved to the Kroeger building on Center street. —Schools were out on Monday and Tuesday in honor of Washington's birthday. —Yesterday morning a heavy fog enveloped the community, and still the rain holds off. —Theo Staley was in from Placentia yesterday.

J. A. White on Friday evening, Feb. 25th. —The gripe is prevalent at Mirafores and Mrs. Polhemus and the little child of Geo. Hagar have been ailing for several days past. —While boring a well on his place at Fullerton some days ago Oliver Schumacher struck a large cottonwood log at a depth of thirty-four feet. —The Laidies' Aid of the Presbyterian church will meet at the home of Mrs. J. B. Pierce this afternoon (Thursday). All members and their friends are invited to attend. —The flag at the City Hall was displayed at half-mast on Monday in commemoration of the loss of the crew of the ill-fated Maine in Havana harbor. —The suit of Gardiner & Howe vs. the City of Anaheim, which was to have come up for trial in the Superior Court at Santa Ana yesterday, was postponed until to-morrow morning, when the case will be called for trial. —The new county bridge over the river between this city and Santa Ana has been completed and the Supervisors will inspect it to-morrow preparatory to an official acceptance of the work. The contract price for the bridge was $3393 20. —Miss Ida L. Menges, the well-known dentist, who has offices in the Metz building, makes her announcement to our readers this morning. The board were present, the first time in probably a year, viz., Directors Fay, Browning, Benchley, Nebelung, McFadden, Pierotti and Carpenter. The first business taken up was the application of J. A. Vail for the issuance to him of a duplicate certificate of stock in lieu of one lost by him. The board ordered that when Mr. Vail shall have complied with the rules of the company in such cases made and provided—making an indemnifying bond insuring the company against losses, and filing an affidavit to the effect that the original certificate is lost—that a duplicate issue. Mr. Benchley brought up the matter of the relocating of the ditch running between the properties of Messrs. Stone and Zeyn at Fullerton, as petitioned for by those gentlemen last year, and suggested that action be taken thereupon. The matter was first referred to Mr. Amerige a year ago, but no report was ever made by him. Recently the matter has come up again, and was some weeks ago referred to Mr. Benchley for adjustment. He sent to the Secretary and had read a letter from Mr. Colyer of San Francisco bearing upon the subject. The ditch runs along the center of the road between the two properties, and it had been suggested that it be changed to the west line. Mr. Fay stated that he had recently gone over the ground, in company of Mr. Zeyn, and had persuaded that gentleman that the proper place for the ditch was where it now lies. There is abundant room on each side for a wagon road, the company had a right of way there and he was of the opinion that the ditch should remain just where it is, on account of the grade and for other reasons. Mr. Browning observed that if the company made a precedent of moving ditches at the solicitation of stockholders, at the company's expense, the board would soon be overwhelmed with applications for moving ditches. The matter went without action. A communication was read from the City Trustees, reciting the complaint of C.R. Spoerl against the flooding of his property by Mr. Konig whenever that gentleman irrigates his alfalfa field at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets. Mr. Spoer complains that his neighbor raises the water in the ditch by means of raising its sides with embankments, the water thus overflowing his premises, and that when Mr. Konig is through irrigation he permits the embankments to remain, thus obstructing the sidewalk. Mr. Fay said that the main cause of the trouble was the placing of a pipe in the ditch by Clarence Groat, which was of about a quarter of the capacity required to allow the water its natural flow in the ditch. As, he said, the pipe, according to his information, had been placed in the ditch without the authority or consent of the water company, he considered that Mr. Groat should be notified to remove the same, falling in which the Superintendent should be instructed to do so. The matter, on motion of Mr. Benchley, was referred to Mr. Fay, with authority. The chair brought up the matter of the Braun ditch, a communication from Mr. Braun asking for a short extension of the cement ditch at his place on the Garden Grove road having been received at the last meeting. After discussion, the communication was ordered filed, and the Secretary instructed to correspond with Mr. Braun informing him that the amount of the salaries out of the Superintendent's hands. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pierotti, and carried—Ayes: McFadden, Pierotti, Benchley and Carpenter. Noes—Browning and Nebelung. Herr Nebelung, arising with a smile that was childlike and bland, after holding a whispered conversation with Mr. Browning, moved that bids be advertised for for the erection of an office building. The company's records were almost priceless, and if destroyed by fire could many of them never be replaced. It was important to look out for the interests of the stockholders in the matter of cementing of the ditches, but it was appropriate to protect their interests in the company's records and valuable papers as well. He did not see the force of the argument of the gentleman from beyond the roaring sandwash (Mr. Benchley) who had referred so feelingly to the hard times. A fire-proof vault was an urgent necessity for the maps, deeds, rights of way and other belongings of the company that were now exposed to fire. The motion was seconded by Mr. Brownling. Mr. McFadden said he had received a communication from Mr. Kroeger offering one of the rooms of his brick building on Center street for office purposes free. Mr. Kroeger agreed to fit up an office for the Secretary and the Board of Directors, but did not offer to put in a vault, feeling that if he gave the company office room rent free, the company should be willing to construct the vault. Mr. McFadden stated that he had inadvertently left the letter at home, and so the matter did not come up formally before the board; but the members seemed to be favorably disposed toward the offer. Mr. McFadden tomahawkked the motion to readvertise for bids, and the matter was quietly laid to rest by the same vote as before—two ayes and four noes. The board here went into executive session. On motion of McFadden, seconded by Pierotti, the water schedule was fixed as follows: January 30 cents, February 30, March 40. April 50, May 60, June 71 July and August 80 September 60 October 50 November 30 December 30. The committee to whom was referred the matter of the voting of C.W. Almes' proxy by Geo.B.Key, reported that after a careful examination of the record they found that the proxy was voted by Mr.Key,and that the proxy is not on file. After the adjournment of the meeting Big Medicine Man McFadden entered his carriage and drove over to Santa Ana to take a Masonic degree. Arriving at the county seat he found clans gathering for a free-silver speech by Towne, and he decided to attend that meeting. At half-past 8 a messenger from the lodge found Mac sitting in one of the front rows at the meeting, but his efforts were unavailing to get him away from the magic spell of the free-silver orator. Heap big Injun! GARDEN GROVE. Wedding of Well-Known Young Folks at High Noon on Tuesday. The prettiest wedding that has taken place at Garden Grove for a long time was that of Mr. Ernest Day of Los Angeles and Miss Olive King, formerly of this place, which took place at the M.E Church at high noon Tuesday,February 22d.The church was beautifully decorated and the ceremony was one of the prettiest ever witnessed.Rev.Scripps affection.Miss Misha Rehin the City of Anaheim, which was to have come up for trial in the Superior Court at Santa Ana yesterday, was postponed until to-morrow morning, when the case will be called for trial. The new county bridge over the river between this city and Santa Ana has been completed and the Supervisors will inspect it to-morrow preparatory to an official acceptance of the work.The contract price for the bridge was $3393 20. Miss Ida L.Menges,the well-known dentist,who has offices in the Metz building,makes her announcement to our readers this morning.Miss Menges is very highly spoken of as an experienced and capable dentist,and solicits a share of public patronage.

The matter, on motion of Mr. Benchley, was referred to Mr. Fay, with authority. The chair brought up the matter of the Braun ditch, a communication from Mr. Braun asking for a short extension of the cement ditch at his place on the Garden Grove road having been received at the last meeting. After discussion, the communication was ordered filed, and the Secretary instructed to correspond with Mr. Braun informing him that the amount of water used at the point indicated did not justify the expenditure of any more money thereupon by the company. Big Chief McFadden, who had come in two minutes late, although his watch did not yet indicate the hour of 2, and finding the board in session, asked what time the board came together; on being informed by the chair that it assembled at 2 and that his watch was probably incorrect, now proceeded with the tomahawkking. He moved that the salary of the three zanjeros on the upper canal (those of the two upper ones being $45 per month, and the lower one $40) be cut down, the head zanjero to receive $45 and the two others $40. Signor Pierotti seconded the motion heartily, and the economical measure was about to be adopted, when Mr. Browning pulled the by-laws on the board, and reading therefrom, showed that according to the rules of the company, the fixing of the salaries of the zanjeros was left to the discretion of the Superintendent. Mr. McFadden on looking up the by-laws and finding them to be even as Mr. Browning had said, thereupon withdrew his motion, saying that reports were prevalent that the second zanjero was indebted to the Superintendent, and the latter official was dragging down $5 of his salary every month in order to make himself even. The chair reprovingly observed that such reports should not be repeated, in the presence of the public, without proof. A further discussion of the subject the chair declared to be out of order. The chair stated that the hour for opening the bids for the erection of the new office building having arrived, he would open the same. He opened the bids and Mr. Browning read as follows: Bid of C. McNeil of Santa Ana, to erect the building for $2090 30; bid of H. A. McWilliams to erect the building for $2125. Both bids were accompanied by a certified check for $50. A third bid, believed to be that of A. D. Wedding of Well-Known Young Folks at High Noon on Tuesday. The prettiest wedding that has taken place at Garden Grove for a long time was that of Mr. Ernest Day of Los Angeles and Miss Olive King, formerly of this place, which took place at the M. E. Church at high noon Tuesday, February 22d. The church was beautifully decorated and the ceremony was one of the prettiest ever witnessed, Rev. Spring officiating. Miss Mina Robinson played the wedding march. The brother and sister of the bride performed the offices of groomsman and bridesmaid, and W. B. Hill and B. F. West were ushers. The bride was tastefully dressed in silk, ashes of roses trimmed with pale pink. After the ceremony she wedded pair-with their relatives and a few intimate friends repaired to the home of the bride's mother where an elegant repast was served. Mr. and Mrs. Day departed on the afternoon train for Los Angeles, where they will be at home to their friends after April 22d. They carried with them the best wishes of a host of friends which was indicated by the shower, of rice under which they took their departure. Rev. Spring, C. S. Holt, Dr. Chaffee, F. D. Reid, Harvey Newson and Mr. Reyburn were elected delegates to a convention of the anti-saloon league to be held at Los Angeles on March 1st. Mrs. Chuyler of Lompoc who has been visiting friends here for the past ten days returned home last Thursday. The King’s Daughters will give a social as the M.E. Church on next Friday, Feb. 25. Mrs. J. N. Devault returned on Tuesday from Los Angeles, where she has been visiting her sister for a few days. Dr. C. L. Rich of Fullerton was over one day last week calling on friends. Judge McKelvey is putting in a stock of groceries in the Postoffice building. Mrs. Yerry of Long Beach is visiting friends at Garden Grove this week. J. S. Chapin and family spent last Saturday at the beach. F. P. Chaffee went to Los Angeles on business last Saturday. F. P. Kealiher and G. Frick of Anaheim attended church here last Sunday evening. Mrs. Alberts of Los Angeles spent Sunday visiting the family of Dr. Chaffee. P. Peters spent several days at Los Angeles on business last week. Mrs. Seal and daughter of Fresno are visiting friends at the Grove this week. Capt. Johns of the Salvation Army arrived in town on Tuesday evening with a corps of ladies and gentlemen and conducted services on the street. He yesterday returned to Los Angeles, where the army is having an important meeting, and will return to town to open services on the streets on Saturday evening. It is Capt. Johns’ intention to form a Salvation Army corps in Anaheim, and he will probably rent a hall and remain for some time. Conductor Andrews is again running his freight train over the Santa Fe road, it having been shown that the accident which occurred at Northam some days ago was attributable to the negligence of his hind brakeman. When switching cars at Fullerton Andrews instructed the brakeman to set the brakes on the cars that afterwards got away, but this latter neglected to do, and a collision with the southbound passenger was the result. The brakeman was discharged. Mrs. Langenberger while driving in her phaeton at the corner of Sycamore and Los Angeles streets on Tuesday evening, having just returned from Los Angeles on the evening train, was run into by a double team, driven by some person to her unknown, with the result that her vehicle was partially demolished and she was quite seriously injured. However she was yesterday improving from the effects of the accident and will soon be able to be about again. Who the driver of the double vehicle was could not be learned, as he drove on and his identity could not be established. The new bridge over the Santa Ana river between this point and Santa Ana is practically completed, although it has not been accepted nor opened to travel. The general appearance of the bridge demonstrates the wisdom of the location and plan. Three joists were added to each truss span and extra bridging to the joists of the pile spans outside the contract. The way the work has dragged and been done at a disadvantage it is difficult to see where the contractor’s profits come in, but the public, according to Supervisor Armor, has certainly got its money’s worth.

Landell's court on Saturday on a charge preferred by Adolph Steinke, for disturbing his peace. The two young men having been brought into court, and the elder of the defendants being able to prove an alibi, was discharged. Henry H. Bauer, having been placed under bonds to appear on Monday morning for trial at 10 o'clock, failed to appear, and it is believed he has left for pastures new. The boy was gunning on Steinke's land and on being ordered off used vile language and disturbed plaintiff's peace. A delegation of the Turners will engage in a rabbit hunt on the Kraemer and Cadman tracts on Sunday, to practice up shooting in case war comes with Spain. Herr Fleischmann will contribute a bull's head which Ed Kraemer will barbecue in his usual excellent style, and the boys look forward to a good time. If the rabbits know what's good for 'em they will break for cover. At an informal meeting of a number of deciduous fruit growers in town on Saturday afternoon, at which the establishment of a cannery was discussed, Theo. Meyer made the offer, on behalf of Mrs. Steley, of the brick building on the Steley place, 25x50 feet, with its accompanying warehouse, to be used as a cannery building, rent free for a year. The matter will be discussed further at the meeting of the Farmers' Club at Mr. Rogers' residence on Monday afternoon. Mrs. Steley's liberal offer was very favorably commented upon. The planting of beets has begun at Chino, and the prospect seems good for a heavy seeding this month, which is earlier than usual. The dry season seems to make it desirable to get the crop in early. Last year some seed were put in the ground in March, and late storms made replanting necessary. Planting will continue to the end of April. A considerable area has been seeded to beets in this locality, and with the coming of the looked-for rainfall, seeding operations will be carried on upon a large scale. While Miss Nellie Carver and her little sister and niece and Mrs. Thowson of Fullerton were about to drive from in front of Mr. Carver's residence near the school house on their way to Fullerton on Sunday evening at dusk, the kingbolt of their vehicle, having become rusted, broke and permitted the wagon box to precipitate itself to the ground, letting the ladies gently down with it. The horse remained hitched to the forewheels, but did not become unmanageable nor start to run away. Friends came to the young ladies' assistance, another vehicle was procured, and they were soon on their way rejoicing. The Orange County Driving Club PERSONAL MENTION.

Miss Cristie who some years ago conducted a millinery establishment in one of Mrs. Metz's buildings on Center Street, but who since removing from this city has been a resident of Los Angeles, departed some days ago for the Klondike. Wm. Schwenckert has our thanks for a cluster of paper-rind St. Michael oranges, plucked from his grove on West Street. The cluster contained 26 fin specimens of bright fruit, which is one more than it contains to-day, the missing orange attesting in an eminent degree the superior flavor and the excellence of the fruit. Mrs. Morton has received a letter from her son Herb who left with his father some three weeks ago for Copper River. Herb writes from Seattle, which place they reached in safety, and say they would leave on the 15th for Alaska on the ship Alliance, which carried 225 passengers. Herb is a great boy, and we hope he'll strike rich on the river. C.F. Kossen, a Russian, living west of town, suffered the laceration of the forefinger and thumb of the left hand on Friday while examining a loader cartridge that he had extracted from his gun, and which had failed to explode after being snapped twice. He had been out hunting when the accident occurred and was brought into Dr. Eddy for treatment. The flesh of the finger was badly torn, but amputation was found to be unnecessary. The thumb at the second joint was also badly bruised.

The horse remained hitched to the forewheels, but did not become unmanageable nor start to run away. Friends came to the young ladies’ assistance, another vehicle was procured, and they were soon on their way rejoicing. The Orange County Driving Club races at the Santa Ana fair grounds on Tuesday afternoon were witnessed by a good-sized crowd, a number going over from this city to see the sport. In the 3 class John Baker’s Holly, D. M. Doran’s Kalamity Jim and G. H. Judd’s Marguerite were entered. It was won in three straight heats by Holly, her owner driving; best time, 2.52%.

It was handily won by Parker’s Cash, the owner driving; best time for the distance: 1:13%. The regular meeting of the Farmers’ Club will convene at the residence of Mr. Rogers on East Center street on Monday afternoon next, the 28th inst. The meeting will be enlivened by the presence of J. J. Groom of Ontario, the well-known expert on canning fruits, who will deliver an address upon the advisability of establishing a cannery here. A large attendance of members as well as all others interested is looked for, and an invitation is extended to all fruit-growers to attend. Mr. Rogers has received from Mr. Groom an interesting communication upon the subject of a local cannery, which will be found printed on the first page of this issue. Constable Jake Berlin of Yorba on Wednesday of last week arrested W. N. Monroe at Carmenita, north of Norwalk, and charged him with the theft of pair of horses and wagon belonging to Julius Lindorf, which were stolen from his place at Yorba some weeks ago.

District Attorney West appeared for the prosecution, while Monroe had no counsel, his defense being conducted by himself and his father.

When the lights went out there were 300 people in the hall. Mr. Whann with great presence of mind stepped to the center of the room and announced that the lights had been turned off by mistake, and would soon be on again. There was only one coal-oil lamp in the building at the time, and this was brought out and placed in the center of the dance hall. Marshal Steadman hurried to the power-house to inform the engineers of the state of affairs and he met Schneider on his way home in the dark. Schneider returned to the power-house and started up the lights, and when after a short interval of darkness the lights went, cheers were given and the dance went on as if nothing had happened. Prof. A. J. Cook of Claremont writes as follows regarding purple scale and the best manner of eradicating it: "A most successful and intelligent citrus fruit-grower sends me oranges and orange leaves thickly covered with that worsts courge of the citrus fruit producer, the purple scale or Mytilaspis citricola. He says he recently fumigated the trees, using a much stronger dose than is usually advised. He asks if the scale are all dead. On the leaves I find nearly all dead, but on the fruit scale and eggs are alive. I also find scale of all sizes. We note, then, that eggs are to be found in midwinter as well as in midsummer, and scale of all ages at all times. Unless in fumigation we use very strong doses of cyanide and leave the tents on for a long period, perhaps all night. we must certainly repeat the fumigation once or twice, and we may have to do so in any event. It may be that eggs and fully grown scale cannot be killed by fumigation. If this be true, then probably three fumigations at intervals of four weeks may be required to exterminate the purple scale. I should try all night fumigation first, and repeated fumigation in case that failed." Otto Zeus is temporarily indisposed with a life-sized boil on the chin.
