LOCAL NEWS NOTES. Frank Shanley Elected City Recorder. Recorder Pierce Defeated for Re-election. After Holding the Office and that of Justice of the Peace for a Time Whereof the Memory of the Oldest Inhabitant Runneth Not to the Contrary—Trustee Helmsen Questions Trustee Groat's Right to Participate in the Deliberations of the Board, on Account of His Removal to Los Angeles—The Question Not Pressed, and Groat Acts With the Board for the Last Time—Later Resigns His Seat—Nick Hugo's Thrilling Experience In Bear Valley—Shafting Falls In Fleischmann's Cold Storage Room—Brevities. The Board of Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening; present, the full board, viz.: Rust, Dickel, Helmsen, Schwenckert and Groat. Marshal Steadman reported the taking up of 680 feet of pipe on Los Angeles street, which had been scraped and cleaned and hauled to the power house and piled up. Trustee Helmsen reported the auditing of the various demands and the purchase of a ton and a half of hay from C. E. Groat, who had removed to Los Angeles. In the matter of the charge for the light furnished the Red Cross entertainment on Friday evening, the expense for the same amounting to $2.50, the board voted to remit the same, making it as a donation to the fund subscribed for the soldiers. Trustee Groat brought up the matter of the old tank at the water works, stating that it might be a good idea to raise it to the level of the new tanks, and recommending that it be done at the least possible expense. Trustee Helmsen raised the question as to the legality of Trustee Groat's continuing a member of the board. He had removed to Los Angeles with his family and household goods on Monday, and it was doubtful, in his opinion, if he could now be considered a resident of the city. Attorney Chynoweth stated that Mr. Groat's removal might act as a bar to his participation in the deliberations of the board. The city charter says that each member of the board must be a resident of the city. THE WATER BOARD. Ernest Browning Resigns as a Member of the Board. The water board met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; present, Fay, Benchley, McFadden, Carpenter, Pierroti and Nebelung. Supervisor Potter appeared before the board in reference to the removal of the ditch running a half mile through the properties of J. B. Stone and J. P. Zeyn on the county road at Fullerton. He had received numerous communications regarding the ditch, which is said to be at present in the center of the thoroughfare. In the event of the company deciding to change the location of the ditch to the side of the road and to put in a culvert, Mr. Potter stated that the county would pay half the cost of the improvement. In this connection a petition was read, signed by numerous residents of Fullerton, requesting the board to change the position of the ditch from the middle of the thoroughfare to the side. After discussion the matter was referred to the Ditch Committee, and the attorney of the company requested to write D. E. Miles in San Francisco, original owner of the land, asking for a deed to right of way. Engineer Sherwood submitted a neat drawing of the flume being constructed on the North Branch ditch to replace the old flume built in 1884. The flume is 92 feet in length, 18 feet high, 4 feet by 24, and carries 1200 inches of water. Mr. Benchley reported that work on the flume was well under way, the lumber had been purchased, new ditches being made connecting the flume with the old ditch, and the work was progressing as rapidly as possible. Attorney Melrose rendered a written opinion relative to the ownership of a water alley running through lots Cl and D1 of the original townsite survey. A search of the records revealed that on January 2, 1860, the Los Angeles Vineyard society conveyed the alley to the Anaheim Water company, and by a deed recorded in Book 124 of Deeds, page 315, Los Angeles County Records, the same had passed into the control of the Anaheim Union Water company, which was now lawful owner of the property. The search was made as result of a complaint lodged with the board by Horticultural Commissioner Huntington, who complained of scale-infested orange-trees growing on the neutral strip, which none of the adjoining property owners claimed. The opinion was filed and the superintendent ordered to clean out the trees. Mr. Nebelung stated that Mr. Kroeger, between whose property and Kleinigkeiten. The streets are being cleaned of weeds. The balmiest weather is the order of time. Advices from many sections in the county report the deciduous fruit crop turning out to be unusually large and of a very fine quality. An interesting letter from our correspondent with the soldiers at the Presidio will be found upon the first page. The ladies' aid of the Presbyterian church will meet this afternoon (Thursday) at the home of Mrs. Fay. All members and their friends are invited to attend. The Directors of the Deciduous Fruit Association will meet on Saturday at the City Hall, and will talk over walnut growers interested are invited to be present. Meeting at 2 o'clock. The annual election for School Trustee of the Anaheim School district will be held at Central Schoolhouse on Friday, June 30. The polls will be open from 8 o'clock until sunset. Dr. Gardiner is the outgoing trustee. The playing of the band at Friday evening's entertainment was very favorably commented upon on all sides. There is no doubt Prof. Whann is giving Anaheim some of the best brass band music we have ever heard. The schools will be out on Monday in honor of Decoration day. The children of the city, West Anaheim, Katella and Fullerton schools will attend the memorial services at the cemetery here in afternoon at 2:30. A number of large boxes of cakes, fruit, preserved fruit and jellies were shipped to the soldier boys of Company L at the Presidio by the patriotic citizens of Anaheim on Tuesday. The soldier boys have a warm place in the hearts of those who remain at home. Anaheim has sent $109.70 to the soldier boys at the Presidio, $84.70 to the Red Cross, derived from the entertainment of Friday evening, and $25 contributed by boys of Company L by the Odd Fellows. How is that for high for a patriotic record? Memorial services will be held in Christ Church, Los Alamitos, on Sunday next, the 29th. The sermon will be preached by the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Hill. All veterans and their friends Trustee Helmsen raised the question as to the legality of Trustee Groat's continuing a member of the board. He had removed to Los Angeles with his family and household goods on Monday, and it was doubtful, in his opinion, if he could now be considered a resident of the city. Attorney Chynoweth stated that Mr. Groat's removal might act as a bar to his participation in the deliberations of the board. The city charter says that each member of the board must be a resident of the city. Trustee Rust said it was only a matter of a day or two, and it was rather a close question. Mr. Chynoweth said that he did not know whether he was competent to answer the question at the present time. Trustee Dickel thought Groat was still a resident of the city. Trustee Groat said he still regarded himself as a resident of Anaheim. He was getting ready to move to Los Angeles, and had moved his family and household goods to Los Angeles, but had still three loads to take up, and would be in town some few days yet. At this point Mr. Schwenckert reverted to the tank matter, which he had ascertained would cost $150 to raise. He doubted the propriety of expending this sum of money on the old tank. Inasmuch as a new tank would cost $400, the board after further discussion decided to refer the matter to the Committee on Public Improvements for further investigation and report. Nothing further was said as to Trustee Groat's inability to act as a member of the board, and a moment later, under the head of unfinished business, the applications of Frank Shanley and J.B. Pierce for the City Recordership came up, and were voted upon as follows: For Shanley—Dickel, Rdst, Groat. For Pierce—Helmsen, Schwenckert. Mr. Shanley having received a majority of the votes cast, he was duly declared elected as City Recorder for the ensuing year. The bond of Marshal Steadman was approved. The Clerk submitted his annual report, which was referred to the Finance Committee. Trustee Rust brought up the matter of an electric fire alarm, which was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements. Two alarm boxes will probably be installed, one at a central point in town and the other at the West End. Trustee Dickel brought up the matter of the sidewalk at the north corner of Henry Albrecht's property at the West End, which was in bad condition, a contiguous ditch abutting against the walk, making a bad pitfall for pedestrians. Trustee Groat said he knew the place well, as he had fallen into it one night, and hadn't been out late either. Trustee Helmsen said Mr. Brown of the lumber yard had at one time offered to give the lumber for a bridge over the ditch at this point, or had offered to put in the bridge if the lumber were purchased from him, and the matter was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements to investigate and report. Trustee Schwenckert brought up the Husmann sidewalk matter, which he characterized as an eyesore. To the Public Improvements Committee. Marshal Steadman reported the application of Messrs. Carver and Zachman for city water. Granted on condition that the applicants take the usual authorization on January 2, 1860, the Los Angeles Vineyard society conveyed the alley to the Anaheim Water company, and by a deed recorded in Book 124 of Deeds, page 315, Los Angeles County Records, the same had passed into the control of the Anaheim Union Water company, which was now the lawful owner of the property. The search was made as the result of a complaint lodged with the board by Horticultural Commissioner Huntington, who complained of scale-infested orange-trees growing on the neutral strip, which none of the adjoining property owners claimed. The opinion was filed and the superintendent ordered to clean out the trees. Mr. Nebelung stated that Mr. Kroeger, between whose property and his own the neutral strip lies, had already cut down the trees, and the superintendent was instructed to grab up the roots. In the matter of the application of J.N. Nennoo of Placentia for cementing the ditch from which he obtains water, the Ditch Committee reported recommending that the ditch, running from the southeast corner of the Wilshire tract west to Major Klokke's orchard, be cemented, the parties in interest hauling the gravel and cement, doing all team work, including the back filling, and giving deed to the right of way. This latter has been agreed to by Mr. Nennoo and the others along the route of the ditch. The ditch will be 1320 feet in length. B.F. Porter wrote the board directing its attention to the condition of the ditch on the northwest corner of his property, which was two feet higher than his land adjacent to the ditch, and by which his walnut trees are being continually damaged by overflow. The water rates also leaked badly, having worked out in places, and gopher-holes assisted in running water upon his place, to the detriment of his trees. Mr. Porter opined that about 300 feet of cement would save money for the company and do away with the danger threatening his walnut trees by overflow. To the Ditch Committee. A communication was received from Ernest Browning, resigning as director of the company. On motion of Mr. McFadden, seconded by Mr. Carpenter, the same was accepted, and Mr. Benchely introduced the following: Resolved That in accepting the resignation of Mr. Ernest Browning as a member of the board of directors of A.U.W.Co., we desire to express our sincere regrets that Mr. Browning feels obliged to resign his membership from the board; and we desire to express our high appreciation of his valued services heretofore rendered the company, and our sincere regard for Mr. Browning as a director and a gentleman of integrity and ability. The resolution was adopted and ordered spread upon the minutes and a copy sent to Mr. Browning. Mr. Browning's resignation is caused by ill health. PLACENTIA.

George B.Key lost a valuable horse shipped to the soldier boys of Company L at the Presidio by the patriotic citizens of Anaheim on Tuesday. The soldier boys have a warm place in the hearts of those who remain at home. Anaheim has sent $109.70 to the soldier boys at the Presidio, $84.70 to the Red Cross, derived from the entertainment of Friday evening, and $25 contributed tothe boys of Company L by The Odd Fellows.

The matter of the repair of the water meters was referred to the Finance Committee. Charley Albrecht wrote from Downey complaining of a pig-pen nuisance maintained near his property on Los Angeles street. The Marshal was ordered to abate the nuisance. Trustee Groat’s resignation was read by the Clerk, and the same was accepted, and a vote of esteem passed for his efficient services while a member of the board. Bills to the amount of $59 03 were audited and ordered paid, and the board adjourned. The Southern Pacific will sell round-trip tickets to San Francisco on May 27 and 28 for single fair ($15 80), good returning on May 30, to allow people to visit the soldier boys before their departure for Manila.

Dewitt Montgomery and Arthur Staley arrived from Stanford last Saturday. Tom McFadden will follow this week. Mrs. J. B. McCullough of Los Angeles is visiting at A. Pierroti’s. A. S. Bradford and wife visited at Santa Ana last week. Election came off today for bonding the district for $2500 to improve and add another story to the school house. The bonds carried, there being 22 votes cast—18 votes for and three against, with one blank. George B. Key lost a valuable horse recently. The recent rains did a lot of good to nearly all vegetation, and no particular damage. A large number of the school children are down with measles. A great number of our people will take in the Independent Order of Foresters’ picnic at Newport Beach on Saturday next. Excursion rates are given by the railroad. George B. Key’s team, loaded with packed oranges, met with an accident on Saturday last, the wagon being overturned and badly smashed. Miss Maggie Strain and Miss Waitie Woodward are down with measles. Maj. E. F. C. Klokke was down to his ranch from Los Angeles on Saturday last. Miss East will leave in a few days for a visit to Nebraska and Illinois. Ed. Crowther will leave shortly for Boston to study music under a noted professor. Placentia, May 23, 1898. Pursuant to a call issued by the Free Silver Republicans of Orange County, a meeting was held at Santa Ana on Saturday, May 21st, with Dr. M. A. Menges chairman. The object, as stated in the call for the meeting, was read by I. D. Mills, secretary, and a permanent organization was effected by the election of M. L. Lane, chairman, and Herbert Crooks, secretary. A committee of three was appointed to assist the chairman in selecting a county central committee, as follows: D. C. Pixley, Geo. Wilton and Geo. E. Morgan. The chairman was directed to appoint a committee of five to confer with like committees of Democrats and Populists regarding the union of forces. The following committee was appointed: Dr. M. A. Menges, chairman, Santa Ana; D. C. Pixley, Orange; David Cobau, Tustin; E. C. Mitchell, Garden Grove; and Frank Stone, Anaheim. The young people of the Presbyterian church give a gramophone concert and social this evening at the Del Campo hotel. The Orange County Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance company was organized at Santa Ana on Saturday afternoon when some twenty-five farmers from El Modena, Orange, Fullerton, Garden Grove and Westminster were present to assist in the company. The organization was made under a provision of the statutes which authorizes farmers to unite for the purpose of mutual insurance. A canvass of those interested in the movement revealed the fact that there was represented insurable property to the value of $57,000, divided among about fifty persons. The law requires that there shall be at least $50,000 worth of property and twenty-five persons, so the conditions were considered favorable for incorporation. Articles of incorporation were adopted and the following men elected as a board of directors: A. Barrows, Fullerton; F. D. Reed, Garden Grove; H. Larter, Westminster; N. H. Leonard, Bolsa; E. W. Crowell, Orange; Thomas Nicholson, Villa Park; W. A. Beckett, Garden Grove. A committee was appointed to secure the signatures of the members to the articles of incorporation, and will report at another meeting to be called by the secretary. A new county liquor ordinance was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on Monday. The ordinance places the license per annum at $200, instead of $300. The penalty clause was changed from a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $200, or 200 days in the county jail, to not more than six months in jail or a fine of not more than $500. The discretionary clause of the old ordinance, which gave the board power to refuse to grant a license, which was declared illegal by Judge Shaw of the Los Angeles Superior Court some weeks ago, was omitted. The board instructed the clerk to advertise for bids for the $9000 worth of Laurel school district bonds, the bids to be opened June 8th, at 10 a.m. Bids for the $1500 worth of Fountain Valley school district bonds were received from the Oakland Bank of Savings at $43 premium, with accrued interest, and from Isaac Springer at $25.65 premium. The bid from the Oakland bank was accepted. An opinion of the District Attorney was received relative to the claim of Adam Brandel for rebate on liquor license, and the demand was denied. The Orange Belt lodge, I. O. F., of Fullerton will give an excursion and picnic to Newport on Saturday and have engaged the Anaheim brass band to accompany them on the trip. The train will leave on the regular 9:50 Santa Fe, and return at 5:10 in the evening. The lodge invites all Foresters and others to participate in the excursion. Anaheim Lodge, No. 199, I. O. O. F., held its regular meeting on Tuesday night, and as the members were bubbling over with patriotism, the atmosphere of the lodge room was soon charged with red, white and blue, as a result of patriotic speeches made by the members. To show that their patriotism was of a substantial kind, the lodge donated $25 to the Red Cross Society of California, and that amount was ordered to be forwarded immediately to Red Cross headquarters at San Francisco. Next Monday being the last Monday in the month, is the day when the regular meeting of the Farmers' Club should occur. However, as the inauguration of the cannery has so absorbed the time and attention of many of the members (the cannery being an outgrowth of the discussions held by the club), it has been thought advisable, inasmuch as an important meeting of the cannery directors is scheduled for that day, to defer the meeting of the club for a month. While Al Smith was cultivating his orchard in Placentia the other day, driving a four-horse team, he encountered a swarm of bees which had settled on a limb of a tree. The bees stung the horses and they started to run, with the heavy cultivator dangling at their heels. Al abandoned his hold of the lines when he saw he could not hold the horses and let them go. The team ran around the orchard and were finally overtaken and stopped. The damage was nominal, and Al considered he had a lucky escape from what at one time threatened to be a bad runaway. Decoration day will be observed by the citizens of this city, in connection with the G. A. R. post of Fullerton and the citizens of that town, in the usual time-honored fashion on Monday afternoon next. The G. A. R. and the W. R. C. will start from Fullerton, headed by the Fullerton brass band, and attended by the school children and citizens of that place, at 2 p.m. Arriving here on Lemon street, at the corner of Center, at 2:30, they will be met by the Anaheim brass band and school children of the city, West Anaheim and Ketall school district all together.

Bruitt of Alameda, cousin of the Misses Zeyn, and her little daughter arrived on Tuesday on a visit to her relatives and will remain a month. Ora Sprague, formerly of Fullerton, has joined a marine band and will leave with the troops in a few days for the Philippines. David Smythe is home on a short visit from Bloomington, San Bernardino county, where he is in the employ of the Southern Pacific railroad. Mr. Newman has received a letter from his son Arthur, who is with the troops at the Presidio. Arthur writes that the Anaheim boys are all tenting together, and are having a way-up time. Dr. H. W. Head, the well-known resi- Charley Bauer and Dolph Luedke went down to the Landing on Sunday on a fishing expedition. They threw out a trow line about 1000 feet in length and hauled in 65 pounds of fish. This is the best haul of the season. Miss Rector treated the children of her room to a picnic in Santiago canyon on Saturday. Mr. McWilliams drove Gade's 'bus and Bobby Rimpau drove a spring wagon. Miss Rector and Mrs. Cahen chaperoned the young folks. Mrs. B. Webb, mother of E. E. Webb, died at the residence of her son at West Anaheim on Wednesday of last week, aged 78 years. Death was due to a complication of disorders consequent upon an attack of la gippe. The remains were taken to Los Angeles on Thursday for interment. Addison Dyer went out on Tuesday to superintend the job of cutting the hay on his brother Harry's 160-acre field on the Tuffree ranch. Harry will have quite a crop of hay on this tract, and has rigged up his mower with a new apparatus that will not let a guilty straw escape. A. H. Cargill returned some days ago from New York, after an absence of upwards of a month. He was 21 days in the metropolis, and never saw the sun once during that time. He informs us that business is going ahead in the city despite the war, but that the town is gaily decorated with patriotic colors from one end to the other. Madame Modjeska begins a brief season at the Burbank theatre in Los Angeles on June 13, presenting "Adrienne Lecouvreur," "Mary Stuart," "Magda," and "Camille." The Madame's health is entirely restored, and her friends look forward to a very successful season. Will Mitchell of Pasadena, who enlisted as a private in the Seventh Regiment, was dishonorably discharged by Colonel Berry at the Presidio one day last week, for conduct unbecoming a soldier. He was ordered out of the lines, but on his return was arrested and placed in the guardhouse. Dave Yorba was in town other day and reports crops looking fairly well up his way. Sheep business is not looking so promising as it might, and wool will be high. Dave foresaw the dry spell coming on some months ago, as he is quite a weather prophet, and has a large barn filled with hay. In 1887-88 we had a dry season and Dave thinks local history repeats itself about every ten years and consequently looked for a scarcity of rain this season. Soldier boys of Company A were sent $109.70 to the Presidio, $84.70 to the enter- day evening, and $25 boys of Company L by Jaws. How is that for historic record? Services will be held in Los Alamitos, on Sunday. The sermon will be pastor, the Rev. Mr. Hanss and their friends be present. Services Bring lunch baskets, be served in the lecture Mrs. and band boys are preparations for their visit in Santiago canyon onethird.

Henry Glass, commanding the cruiser Charleston, now steaming across the Pacific to join Dewey, comes from Goleonda, Ill., the same town that our townsman Wm. Schwenckert hails from. Mr. Schwenckert knows Capt. Glass’s father and sister very well, but never had the pleasure of meeting the Captain, the latter having grown up and gone to Annapolis before his time. Miss Glass is cashier in the Goleonda bank, and her father is familiarly referred to as “Uncle Henry Glass,” and so Schwenckert says, is the greatest man to go fishing you ever saw. Goleonda also furnishes the Secretary of State for Illinois, and as it has also furnished a City Trustee for Anaheim, we do not see how there can be very much left, excepting Capt. Glass’s father and sister, and Schwenckert’s folks. The Charleston will be a powerful addition to Admiral Dewey’s fleet, and all hands hope that her gallant Captain may bring her safely into port and give a good account of his vessel when (if that should be necessary) it goes into action. On Thursday afternoon about 3 o’clock the overhead shafting and wheels at Fleischmann’s cold-storage establishment gave way and fell with a crash to the floor, narrowly missing the head of Carl Eifler, who was work in the front shop, but who ran to the cold-storage room to stop the machinery immediately on hearing the rattle of the shafting, indicating its loosened condition from the bolts in the ceiling. A step or two from the intervening door, the shafting, with its wheels and belting, fell to the floor, a few inches in front of him. He leaped over the shaft, and going to the engine shut off the power and brought the engine to a stop. A hurried survey disclosed the fact that the shaft had worked its way loose from the bolts in the ceiling, narrowly escaping a serious if not fatal accident to Mr. Eifler. Mr. Fleischmann, who was at the Opera-house painting the battleship Maine for Friday evening’s entertainment, was notified, and Carpenter Jones was put to work to repair the damage. A piece of the ceiling was taken out and timbers put in to strengthen the fastenings to the shaft, which was replaced along toward 10 o’clock at night, and has since been operating to perfection. Decoration day will be observed by the citizens of this city, in connection with the G.A.R.post of Fullerton and the citizens of that town, in usual time-honored fashion on Monday afterternoon next. The G.A.R.and the W.R.C. will start from Fullerton, headed by the Fullerton brass band, and attended by the school children and citizens of that place, at 2 p.m. Arriving here on Lemon street, at the corner of Center, at 2:30, they will be met by the Anaheim brass band and school children of the city, West Anaheim and Katelia schools, and all patriotic citizens. The march will then be taken up to the cemetery, where the time-honored patriotic exercises will take place. C.C. Chapman of Los Angeles will deliver the oration. Following the exercises, which will consist beside the oration of music and singing of a patriotic character, will come the decoration of the graves of the soldier dead—North and South. A cordial invitation is extended all to participate in the memorial services. In time of war let a reunited country place loving emblems of remembrance upon the graves of the soldiers who have answered last roll-call in the skies. Capt. Henry Glass, commanding the cruiser Charleston, now steaming across the Pacific to join Dewey, comes from Goleonda, Ill., the same town that our townsman Wm. Schwenckert hails from. Mr. Schwenckert knows Capt. Glass’s father and sister very well, but never had the pleasure of meeting the Captain, the latter having grown up and gone to Annapolis before his time. Miss Glass is cashier in the Goleonda bank, and her father is familiarily referred to as “Uncle Henry Glass,” and so Schwenckert says, is the greatest man to go fishing you ever saw. Goleonda also furnishes the Secretary of State for Illinois, and as it has also furnished a City Trustee for Anaheim, we do not see how there can be very much left, excepting Capt. Glass’s father and sister, and Schwenckert’s folks. The Charleston will be a powerful addition to Admiral Dewey’s fleet, and all hands hope that her gallant Captain may bring her safely into port and give a good account of his vessel when (if that should be necessary) it goes into action. On Thursday afternoon about 3 o’clock the overhead shafting and wheels at Fleischmann’s cold-storage establishment gave way and fell with a crash to the floor, narrowly missing the head of Carl Eifler, who was work in the front shop, but who ran to the cold-storage room to stop the machinery immediately on hearing the rattle of the shafting, indicating its loosened condition from the bolts in the ceiling. A step or two from the intervening door, the shafting, with its wheels and belting, fell to the floor, a few inches in front of him. He leaped over the shaft, and going to the engine shut off the power and brought the engine to a stop. A hurried survey disclosed the fact that the shaft had worked its way loose from the bolts in the ceiling, narrowly escaping a serious if not fatal accident to Mr. Eifler. Mr. Fleischmann, who was at the Opera-house paintingthe battleship Maine for Friday evening’s entertainment, was notified, and Carpenter Jones was put to work to repairthe damage. A piece ofthe ceiling was taken out and timbers put in to strengthenthe fasteningstothe shaft,whichwas replaced along toward 10 o’clockatnight,andhassincebeenoperatingtoperfection.

Three weeks ago Tuesday Nick Hugo, Herman Backs and Bob Mills started out on a hunting and fishing expedition to Bear valley. The boys returned last week with quite a story of adventure to tell. On Monday of last week Nick started out to hunt squirrels. He started up a deer, which he followed for about five miles, finally killing it. He threw it over his shoulder and walked, as he thought, toward camp for an hour, when darkness came on and he became satisfied he had been going in the wrong direction. He made a fire and toasted a juicy limb of a mountain squirrel for supper. Four inches of snow fell during the night, and Nick was in anything but a comfortable position. Next morning he started out to find the camp, but after walking in the forest all day long, night overtook him again and he was forced to sleep on the ground without shelter. No snow fell this night, and early next morning, after partaking of a sumptuous repast of broiled squirrel leg and pure mountain water, of which there was a plenty in the creeks, he sat out again to locate the camp. Toward noon he located the city of San Bernardino, where he arrived at 6 o'clock in the evening, having traveled in a circuitous route probably 75 miles. The other boys had become alarmed at Nick's long absence from camp and went in search of him. They climbed a high hill and shot their guns and called, but received no answer. After hunting all of Tuesday they decided to return and give the alarm, being informed by a mountaineer at the toll gate that Nick had probably struck out onto the desert. At Riverside Bob remained with the team, while Herman started for home on the train, arriving here on Friday. A telephone message from Nick, who had just arrived at San Bernardino, was received by Joe Fritzie a few minutes before Herman walked into the shop with his tale of the lost boy. Telegrams were sent both boys, and they returned the following day. Miss Teresa Pryor and Margaret Forza were married on Sunday afternoon at the home of the bride's parents at San Juan Capistrano. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father O'Keefe. The bride is a niece of Don Marcus A. Forster, and is prominent in social circles at her home. A large number of the newly-married couple's friends gathered at the depot and showered rice on them as the afternoon train pulled out. Mr. and Mrs. Yorba will remain in Los Angeles for a few days before returning home. C. E. Groat on Monday removed with his family to Los Angeles, where he will in future reside. Mr. Groat has lived in Anaheim for fourteen years, and has during that time occupied positions of public trust, having been elected a member of the City Trusteesand Constable. Latterly he has entered the cement contracting business, and moves to Los Angeles for the purpose of embracing the advantages of a larger scene of activity. We are sorry to have him depart from amongst us, and hope that the full mead of prosperity may attend him in his new home. Maj. C. D. Ball, surgeon of the Seventh Regiment, who was detailed to take command of Company L until a permanent organization could be effected, has received late orders from Maj. M. T. Owens in regard to recruits for the United States army. Major Owens is acting assistant adjutant-general and sends out an order instructing Major Ball to give notice that First Lieutenant A. Skerritt of the Third U.S. Artillery will be in Los Angeles to recruit men for the service. All able-bodied men who desire to enlist in the army will be given a chance to meet the recruiting officer. It is presumed that men are wanted for the artillery service, although recruits for the infantry may also be wanted. Lieutenant Skerritt is now in Los Angeles. L. GILDMACHER, The Place to Trade.

Smith & Talbott Jewelers. 131 W. 4th St., - Santa Ana, Cal. —The citizens of Fullerton are making preparations for a big liberty pole raising celebration on Decoration Day. The timber for the flag pole is the same that was donated to the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce by an Oregon lumber company, but for some reason was never put up, and has been lying at Newport for several months. The timber is an Oregon pine, 130 feet in length, without a knot the entire length of it, and as straight as an arrow. At the base it is sixteen inches and at the top measures ten inches. Workmen have dressed, tapered and rounded the pole from the base, and it will be set in a cement foundation. When erected it will be one of the highest flag poles in Southern California.
