E. Pluribus Fowler arrived in Anaheim in the summer of '91. He gave it out that he was a man of large wealth, and talked of starting a bank. The cooperative sugar factory agitation was on, and had for some time engaged the attention of the people. The factory was to be erected by the issuance of $400,000 in bonds, based on a mortgage indebtedness of $100 per acre upon 4000 acres of land. Scenting a scheme to turn over a few dollars dishonestly (something which his talents seemed to fit him for eminently), he caused the assertion to be spread about that he had been at some time previously in the sugar business. He said he would buy land here and take stock in the enterprise, to the amount of 500 acres or more, provided he could be assured of representation upon the Board of Directors. A man with that amount of money invested, he was wont to observe, ought certainly to have something to say relative to the management of the affairs of the corporation. The citizens took kindly to him at the start. Being an entire stranger, his ways were so guileless and so ingratiating was his manner that he soon made hosts of friends; and when he shortly exhibited papers showing the purchase of some 535 acres of land, which he apparently deeded into the corporation, he was elected to membership, and at the next annual meeting of the stockholders was chosen a Director, and was a few days subsequently selected its President. He had pulled the stockholders' legs perfectly. The people of Anaheim, being anxious to assist in the erection of the sugar factory, were for some months thereafter engaged in forming what was known as the Anaheim Beet and Land company, the object being to interest the capital of townspeople who owned no beet land, but who agreed to organize themselves into a corporation for the purpose of purchasing 1200 him to have that much money at stake in the enterprise, proxied their stock to him, he came to control half the shares of stock in the corporation. The farmers were allowed a minority representation upon the Directorate. The rest of the stock was controlled by Fowler and such others as he might care to select to sit upon the board with him. He was the absolute head and front of the undertaking. At the election of 1893 Richard Gird, whom Fowler had persuaded to take some stock in the enterprise, was defeated for Director by Max Nebelung, the machine having slipped a cog. Fowler, in great excitement, leaped from his chair and in his usual petulant way announced that he "would wash his hands of the whole affair." Nebelung was prevailed upon by some of the Fowler push to resign. He did so in a few words, saying that while he had been fairly elected (even in those early days there were rumors that all was not square about the sugar-factory ballot box), he would put his personal ambition behind him and would resign in Mr. Gird's favor. Fowler was at the door of the hall, but tarried, like a spoiled child, watching the result of operations which were gradually shaping themselves over toward his way again. Gird was accordingly elected by viva voce vote, and Fowler permitted himself to be led back to the chair. When the meeting adjourned shortly after, there were dark rumors that the sugar-factory enterprise, once so full of promise for the good of the community, had fallen upon evil ways, and men who had spent their money and given their time to the enterprise before Fowler blew up from Paradise Valley, shook their heads in doubt as to the final outcome of the enterprise. We doubt if Gird ever attended a single meeting of the Directorate, during his year of membership, upon the board. The advent of E. F. Dyer, the man who put in the machinery for the Los Alamitos sugar factory, the following year was the only thing that saved the corporation from going to pieces. Mr. Dyer's purchase of 300 acres at Los Alamitos served to revive interest in the concern. Fowler engineered the land sale to Dyer. As a matter of fact, Fowler was in the concern more to get commissions on land sales than to erect a sugar factory. It is said on authority that Fowler "tapped" Dyer for $750 for commission on the sale. This Dyer did not learn until the following year. he was to cap Westminster and Garden Grove, where the Santa Ana Indians would do rest. But on a warm summer's afternoon not long afterward the Santa Ana Indians were grouped together and Fowler's history laid bare before them. And thereafter the Indians were not interested in Fowler's career any more, no! Last year this unconseionable thought that by having a "personal gan" he might possibly be able to bring into the Legislature, and the assessee of the weekly Back Rent upon Chynoweth are construed as being prompted by a latent desire on his part to break into the Legislative Council. But it will be futile. Fowler could go to the Legislature if he had no personal organs. Naturally his paper has little value that is good of this community or people in it. Having been given cold shoulder by the citizens of community, he seeks to vent his spirit by importing an irresponsible slinger to do his foul bidding. Paper has lately printed the statement that one or two residents of Orlando county have been laying wires to cure the Senatorial nomination year. This is of course untrue, and not served its silly purpose of placing Republicans of the county in a light with their party brothren in side and San Bernardino county. The story that an Orange county publican is seeking the Senate nomination is about as true as paper's other statement that J.Ballard is an aspirant for the Congressional nomination, when every knows that Congressman-elect Nahum has not yet had time to take seat. This imported fool scribes should know, first, that it will be Orange county's "turn" for Senatorial nomination next year; Riverside and San Bernardino counties acting upon an honorable agreement entered into with Orlando county long before the editor of weekly Back Rent ever saw the county three years ago agreed to support Orange county man for Senator; that by all honorable politics, the nation should next year go to a Riisider; San Bernardino having had Senator before this county. It would be a breach of good faith to pay each of the two other counties this district to propose an Orange county man for Senator, even if corporation, he was elected to membership, and at the next annual meeting of the stockholders was chosen a Director, and was a few days subsequently selected its President. He had pulled the stockholders' legs perfectly. The people of Anaheim, being anxious to assist in the erection of the sugar factory, were for some months thereafter engaged in forming what was known as the Anaheim Beet and Land company, the object being to interest the capital of townspeople who owned no beet land, but who agreed to organize themselves into a corporation for the purpose of purchasing 1200 acres of land, at $35 per acre, the whole to be deeded into the co-operative enterprise with a view to helping it along to the required subscription of 4000 acres. In the summer of 1892 the beet and land company succeeded in getting stockholders to subscribe for 1200 acres of land, and at the next annual meeting of stockholders in the co-operative beet factory corporation its representatives, who were J. P. Zeyn and Herman Dickel, then as now well-known and respected residents of this city, essayed to vote the 1200 shares. The selection of the factory site was about to come up for determination, and although up to that time there had been no objection to the site offered free to the corporation by the beet and land company, there now cropped out rumors to the effect that Fowler had entered into a deal with outside parties to place the factory site at Ball's corner, three miles west of the proposed site. Although a resident of this city less than a year, his eccentricities caused people to regard him with suspicion, and he was looked upon as not altogether straight in his dealings with his fellow stockholders. For a year it had been understood that the stockholders were to have a voice in selecting the factory site, but now the word went out that the Board of Directors would take the matter in hand themselves and put the factory wherever their fancy willed. The beet and land company had selected its acreage, and the first assessment for the payment of its purchase was called for. It had made the cooperative beet corporation an offer of forty acres of land adjoining the city limits on the southwest for a factory site, and had obligated itself to furnish a sufficient amount of artesian water for the needs of the factory. At the annual meeting in 1893 Messrs. Zeyn and Dickel were present, and answering to roll call, announced they each desired to vote 600 shares of stock. Fowler, who was the President of the company, refused to permit the votes to be placed upon the roll-call as being present and entitled to vote. His contention was that inasmuch as the 1200 acres had not been bought and paid for, and the land deeded into the co-operative corporation, their representatives were not legally entitled to vote. Yet at that very meeting Fowler had answered to the roll call as having 535 shares of stock, all but ten of which were two years later found to be fraudulent. Fowler had quietly gone among the year of membership, upon the board. The advent of E. F. Dyer, the man who put in the machinery for the Los Alamitos sugar factory, the following year was the only thing that saved the corporation from going to pieces. Mr. Dyer's purchase of 300 acres at Los Alamitos served to revive interest in the concern. Fowler engineered the land sale to Dyer. As a matter of fact, Fowler was in the concern more to get commissions on land sales than to erect a sugar factory. It is said on authority that Fowler "tapped" Dyer for $750 for commission on the sale. This Dyer did not learn until the following year. Meantime the factory site had been changed from the original site south-west of town to the Ball corner. The "headquarters" house was erected at this point and land sales were frequent. Price of land went up. Fowler pocketed his commission on every sale. A Mr. Marsh, who was prevailed upon by Fowler to buy ten acres of land at a price then somewhat in advance of the original $35 rate, counted the transaction to his sorrow. Fowler assured him that as soon as the factory was built (the site being within a mile of Marsh's land) the price of his holding would advance to $150 per acre. Shortly after Marsh's first payment, the sugar factory on wheels was moved to Los Alamitos, the purchase of Dyer's 300 acres being "heavy" enough to pull the site some five miles further west. Marsh was unable to make his second payment, being a poor man; and as he raised no crop of beets that year, was forced to lose what little he invested, and soon returned to Nebraska, a ruined man. Fowler had promised the shareholders the factory would be erected each recurring year, but it never came. Folks refused at last to take him seriously and his ostentatious ways were looked upon with derision. In the spring of 1894, however, after four years of agitation, it seemed that through Dyer's influence, the factory would be erected the following year. At this point Fowler began quietly putting his property out of his hands. He deeded his walnut patch and city residence to his wife, and various other parcels of property were similarly placed out of harm's way. Why should Fowler place his holdings out of his hands? those who had stood by him asked, while the others, disgusted at his eccentricities, had withdrawn from the enterprise. An investigation of the records was begun. It showed Fowler up in his true light. Out of the 535 shares of stock which the Paradise Valley smoothy had been voting all these years, but ten were legitimately issued, the other shares being based upon not a single foot of land! Each share of stock was supposed to represent one acre of land, and while Fowler had been voting 535 shares he had only ten acres of land deeded into the enterprise. The man was charged with his rascality before a houseful of 200 shareholders, and his mask of deceit torn from him. The day after the publication of the expose in this newspaper the corporation closed its doors, and Senatorial nomination next year; Riverside and San Bernardino counties acting upon an honorable agreement entered into with Oran county long before the editor of Riverside Back Rent ever saw the county three years ago agreed to support Orange county man for Senator; that by all honorable politics, the nation should next year go to a Riderside; San Bernardino having had Senator before this county. It would be a breach of good faith to pay in each of the two other counties this district to propose an Orange county man for Senator, even if should have the slightest chance in nomination—which he has not. the last Senatorial convention Oran had 8 delegates, Riverside 9 and Bernardino 13. While the delegate will be subject to some revision numbally next year, Orange will still be the minority, and will have no share even if it should desire to name man, and it has no such desire. The people of Riverside and San Bernardino counties, who have heard these reports with surprise, should little heed to them. Mr. Fowler is a false alarm.

Three Days of Festivity for the Turn Society to Assemble in Los Angeles. The local Turn Verein are making great preparations for the Funfests zirk Turnfest in Los Angeles on Saturday, Sunday and Monday next. They will participate in the singing contests and it would not surprise their friends to hear of them carrying off their prize, so proficient have they become under instruction of Prof. Thou. The active Turners will enter competitive exercises, and will doubt give a good account of their selves, as they number among them members some of the best young Turners in Southern California.

Fowler, who was the President of the company, refused to permit the votes to be placed upon the roll-call as being present and entitled to vote. His contention was that inasmuch as the 1200 acres had not been bought and paid for, and the land deeded into the co-operative corporation, their representatives were not legally entitled to vote. Yet at that very meeting Fowler had answered to the roll call as having 535 shares of stock, all but ten of which were two years later found to be fraudulent. Fowler had quietly gone among the farmers owning five, ten or twenty shares of stock, and had warned them that the people of Anaheim, who were the principal shareholders in the beet and land company, were conspiring to vote the 1200 shares in favor of a site for the factory that would not be acceptable to the farmers, and which if persisted in would finally wreck the corporation. The farmers, who seemed to follow Fowler's leadership, viewed this large block of 1200 shares of stock with no little concern, deeming them to be otherwise than bona fide, according to Fowler's unconscionable lying about them. Never did they make a greater mistake. The shares were honest stock; the men backing the beet and land company were acting in entire good faith, and had the shares been permitted a vote, in all probability Anaheim would now have had a cooperative sugar factory. When Fowler denied Zeyn and Dickel the right to vote, they left the hall. From that moment dated the downfall of the enterprise. Instead of standing for their rights as legitimate shareholders, they tiring of the ostentatious manner of the President of the concern, and hearing divers reports of his alleged crookedness, departed, never to return, and the beet and land company, which held out such rosette promises of success to all, went by the boards. Its stockholders had come to view Fowler with suspicion, and it was thought on the whole that it was better to be out of the concern altogether than to be in it with a crooked man at the head of it. Fowler continued to vote 535 shares of stock during the ensuing three years. By virtue of the accretions of stock from other shareholders, who, deeming Two years ago the Santa Ana people, who manifested some opposition to Assemblyman Chynoweth's re-election to the Legislature, set about to select a candidate to take his place. A number of the leading citizens of the county were interviewed, but all declined to enter the contest. Some one jokingly suggested Fowler, and a little "smoker" was arranged at the Odd Fellows' hall in this city. When the Santa Ana Indians arrived at the hall, instead of seeing half a hundred enthusiastic citizens, all clamoring for Chynoweth's scalp, they saw—only four lonely men, Fowler being one of them, and two of the others job chasers of the most virulent kind! So great was the antipathy toward Chynoweth at the county seat, however, and there being no other man to consent to stand for the office, Fowler was taken on, and for a time the Santa Ana Indians, all unconscious of the man's black record hereabout, set about booming him for the Assembly. He was to bring to the county convention the Anaheim and West Anaheim delegations (Tim Carroll was not to be on the West Ana- Welcome by Dr. H. Newland. p. m.—Trip to East Side park by e-tric car.

EDITOR GAZETTE:—Will you permit me through your columns to say a few words on a subject about which quite a number of people are talking with a good deal of concern. I refer to the dry, unattractive condition of our cemetery. A good many people have bought lots there, and have planted shrubs and flowers of various kinds. They did this with the express understanding that water would be supplied, so that the owners of lots could keep the plants alive, and so keep the cemetery in a condition that betokened somebody's thought and care. For a time a windmill gave some sort of a supply, then an affair that was called an engine was put in position, and the windmill was displaced. Very soon the engine was crippled. People went to care for the plants on the graves of departed friends, but there was no water, and nobody could tell when there would be any. Many valuable plants died. Some people carried water from the nearest supply. This was not fair to those who were promised a water supply, and not very creditable to those whose mis-management brought about this undesirable state of things. Many hard things were said by sufferers, but neither apology nor concern was expressed by those who ought to have shown concern. The engine was put to work again, and people hoped. The were disgusted, and more than thatSome of us would like to know who is to blame. We are not willing to be so trifled with. A very limited amount of business ability would do all that is necessary in the matter. The condition of the cemetery today is by no means credible to the town, and something must be done to improve matters. ONE OF THE SUFFERERS. Anabeim, Oct. 2, 1899.

There have been several instances of man's hair turning from white to black. One of the most notable perhaps is that of an engineer in the fire department of Louisville. His age was 60 and he was on duty during a tremendous fire for 15 consecutive hours. The spray was constantly flying from the hose, and he became, in consequence, the lowness of temperature of the atmosphere, covered from head to foot with ice. He wore a skullcap and a hat on the top of that, so that his head was the warmest part of his body and not at all exposed, though his eyes and whiskers became wet and were frozen stiff. The afternoon after the exposure his hair, which had become gray eight years before and had three years been white, turned perfectly black.—Louisville Post. A Willing Slave. A pretty saying of an army officer is reported by an exchange. He married 1865 the daughter of a man whose whole heart was in the cause of the southern negroes. The marriage has been a very happy one. "Were you so much interested in the slavery question when I knew you?" asked a college friend, who had not seen the officer for many years. "Yes, but I didn't talk much about it," was the reply. "But after I met my wife's father I became a strong politician, and very soon after I met her I became a slave!"—Detroit Free Press. He Differed From Her. She—I see that some doctors have decided that paralysis is a consequence of the parts affected. He—I don't see how you can have any faith in that connection, my dear. When you know you are free from paralysis of the tongue.—Boston Courier In ancient times and among inland peoples the possession of a salt spring was regarded as a special gift of the gods. The Chaonians in Epirus had one which flowed into a stream where there were no fish, and the legend was that feracles had allowed their forefathers to have salt instead of fish.
