Zanjero Skinner Writes to Say that He Does not Owe Supt. Sheppard a Cent. Nor That the Latter Is Indebted to Him. The water board met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; present Directors Fay., Benchley, Carpenter, Pierotti, Nebelung and McFadden. Supt. Sheppard's report showed the expense account during February to be $760 25, of which $350 was for regular employees; construction account, $644 40. He recommended that the flume at Yorba, which was in a rotten condition, be replaced by new work; that willows be placed and riff-raff work be done on wash on Spadra road, and invited an inspection of the screw gate at Fill 13, made under the supervision of Chairman Fay, which the Superintendent pronounced to be the best gate ever made for the company. Two communications were read from J. McNeil of the Santa Fe company relative to the contemplated cement work to be done at Horseshoe Bend. The same were filed, and Mr. Fay delegated power to confer with Mr. McNeil about the matter. A communication was received from Zanjero Stone saying that he was doing more work than usual, on account of the increase in irrigation, and asking for an increase of $5 per month in salary. Filed to be taken up for consideration later. A letter was read from A. D. Skinner of Yorba, denying the published statement that he was indebted to Supt. Sheppard, or that the latter gentlemen was indebted to him, in any amount, as had been stated at the last meeting of the board; and denying that the Superintendent was withholding $5 from his monthly salary in order that he might keep his place. Mr. McFadden who made the statement concerning Sheppard and Skinner, stated that he had not been properly quoted and did not say that Sheppard was withholding $5 or any other sum from Skinner's wages, and he was of opinion that the matter should not have been published. He had withdrawn the remark and did not consider it a topic for general comment. What he said at the previous meeting of the board was that Sheppard was indebted to Skinner, and that Skinner's salary had been kept at $45, while that of the other zanjero was $40 per month, so that Skinner would not press Sheppard for his money. Inasmuch as the gentleman finally withdrew his statement, and as Skinner's letter sheds additional light upon the matter, and inasmuch as the goose hangs at a respectable distance from Kleinigkeiten.

The vote by precints in the district was as follows: For. Against. Placentia .21 Fullerton .76 Orangenteorpe .6 Buena Park .5 Total .108 La Habra school district is also in the union district, but no vote was cast there either for or against the bonds. The bonds are to the amount of $5000 bearing 7 per cent. Fullerton is to be congratulated upon its enterprise. —On Monday while returning from school, little Joe Harris stepped on a broken bottle which was lying by the side of the walk on West Center street, severely cutting his foot. Albert Bitterner, who was near by, bandaged the foot and placed the boy in a passing buggy to be taken home. On reaching home the blood was still flowing profusely, and when the cloth was removed the child fainted. Alex Henry, who chance to be passing, came to Mrs. Harris’ assistance, applying bandages to stop the flow of blood. At first it was feared that an artery had been severed, but Dr. Bickford, being summoned, found nothing worse than a deep cut, extending across the base of three toes. For sometime past the sidewalk along the vacant block between Mr. Woelke’s and Mr. Schumacher’s houses, has been in a dangerous condition, owing to the broken glass strewn over it. In view of the many barefooted school children passing that way, something should be done to keep the sidewalks at least on our principal streets free from glass. —While at Santa Ana on Tuesday afternoon we rode up town from the depot in one of the most stylish rigs it has been our good fortune to see in many a long day. It was driven by Henry Neill, and as we drove off, people on the cars poked their heads out. J. Long of Clair has with his usual enterprise put in a horse power and centrifugal pump for irrigating purposes on his ranch. He is irrigating extensively and those below him report that their artesian wells have ceased to flow as a result. Mrs. Hanna has had the kindness to present us with several copies of the Republic, published at Guatemala, which her son Harry received from friends in that country. One of the papers, that of Feb. 9th, has its column rules turned on account of the assassination of Dictator Barrios. Mrs. Sarah A. Potter, a resident of this city, applied to the Superior Court at Santa Ana for a divorce from her husband, Matthew Porter, who is absent from the State, but after hearing the evidence presented on both sides, the court ruled in favor of the defendant. Harry Boyd of Walla Walla, Washington, son of Wm. Boyd of this city, has arrived on a visit to his folks here and will remain for a short stay. Mr Boyd is the chief accountant in one of the largest establishments at Walla Walla, and is a very pleasant young gentleman. W.F. Botaford was last week elected to the Presidency of the California Bank in Los Angeles, succeeding Samuel J. Lewis, who died recently. Mr. Botaford is Pacific Coast agent of the Grand Trunk railway, but will resign that position in order to give his entire time to the bank hereafter. He is a man of large means and wide business experience. Mrs. Cora Erdman entertained her friends at luncheon on Wednesday afternoon and evening of last week. The table was decorated with violets, ferns and bows of lavender ribbon. Those present in the afternoon were Madames H. Cahen, J. Hartung, C. Rogers, T.A. Deering and W.H. Lawrence; Misses Winnie Melrose, Stella Scott; Lucie Derge, Dora Zeyn and Annie Everhardy. In the evening those present were Mrs. Lawrence, and Misses Lucie Derge, Minnie Zeyn and Rose Robison; Messra H. Strodthoff, Dr.F.Houck,G.Sandilands,C.Holooomb and E.Woelke. Dr.Perdomo died at his residence in this city at 7 o’clock on Friday evening, after a lingering illness of consumption, in the forty-second year of his age. He was a native of Bogota,and had lived in Anaheim for five years. He leaves a wife and young son to mourn his loss,and they have the condolence of the community in their sorrow. Services were held at the home of the deceased by Rev. Stone at half-past 7 on Monday morning,and the remains were shipped to Los Angeles for cremation on the 10:24 Santa Fe train.The pall-bearers were Drs.Wilson, Eddy and Bickford,and Messrs.Brown,Merritt and Riley.The funeral was private,and was attended by only a few friends of the departed. Orphans at St.Catherine’s,numbering upwards of 100,marched tothe home of the deceased and followedthe remains tothe depot as a markof respectto their former physician.The deceased left written instructions as tothe manner of conductingthe obsequieswhich were carried outtothe letter.

In view of the many barefoot school children passing that way, something should be done to keep the sidewalks at least on our principal streets free from glass. While at Santa Ana on Tuesday afternoon we rode up town from the depot in one of the most stylish rigs it has been our good fortune to see in many a long day. It was driven by Henry Neill, and as we drove off, people on the cars poked their heads out of the window to see who we were. They all thought (those who didn't know us) that Neill had just driven down to drive us up town. We were at a loss to know the occasion of all this splendor, until Neill told us a newly married couple had just been driven to the depot to take the train for Coronado, and he had come down to drive the turnout back to the stable. So we rode along with him. Later in the day we enjoyed a ride with Frank Ey and drove past the county jail, where we had the pleasure of interviewing Carl Menzel, who went across some months ago to be Sheriff Nichols' guest for six months. Carl informed us that he had two months yet to serve. There will be few beets sown this year, and very little working of the sugar factories, unless there are two inches of rain during the remainder of this month. J. Ross Clark, the head of the Alamitos beet sugar factory, says that while he does not take a pessimistic view and thinks there is plenty of time for rain, yet he thinks that less it does come this month, to the extent of two inches, there will be little or no crop. "The trouble has been that the planters have not provided any method of irrigating the crops, or rather the land," Mr. Clark is quoted as saying in Los Angeles paper. "All that would be necessary to insure a crop, even in a dry year, would be to give the land one good soaking before seeding. In all of the beet regions the entire dependence of the farmers has been put in nature, and she is feminine enough to be exceedingly disappointing occasionally. It is probable that the lesson of this year will be of great resultant good, for in most of the beet country, artesian water is readily had, and the farmers before next season will likely to have a source of supply." Irrigating for beets will probably be quite a novel idea to many of the farmers. Mrs. Delos Morton has received a letter from her son Herb, written on Feb. 22, on board the Alliance, in Alaska waters, from which we have been permitted to take the following extracts: "We will get to Juneau, Alaska, at 3 o'clock in the morning. We have had a great trip, having run ashore between San Francisco and Seattle, but got off all right in a fog. We passed the steamer Corona which was wrecked on the rocks, and came within fifty yards of her; over half of her is in sight as she hange on a rock, having been wrecked on February 19, at 9:15 a.m. On February 20, at 6:05 p.m. we ran into an island during a snow storm and we could have jumped from the steamer on to the land. We had to wait five hours for the tide to rise, before we could get off. There was a great deal of thinking done in those five hours, among the 250 passengers on board. This is a brand new steamer, and if she only had wheels under her we could get over land." Herb adds that the steamer is pitching and rolling pretty heavily, and some of the passengers are ready to turn back as soon as they reach a landing place. C. H. Luther was in from his some three miles southwest of the Saturday, and related rather a experience that befell him when turning from San Diego county to wheel on Thursday morning last week was riding along at a brisk pace as he was descending a windmill leading down a hill this side brook, he took a header and waived unconscious by the fall. Time previously he had looked watch and found that it was his 8. When he recovered consolé he was walking alongside of his on a level road, he does not know far this side of the scene of his dent, accompanied by two men sumably tramps), and on looking watch found that two hours had vened since his fall—for it was past 10. He has a dazed sort of selection of conversing with the class mediately after the accident, thinks, when he saw them lily thicket near the scene of his but he was altogether oblivious surroundings for two hours. He was badly skinned and he was wise quite seriously bruised. Luther was out on a trip look hay, was absent a week and saw nothing on his travels to compare with this section of county. He pedaled over the grade, and took in South River his way home.
