HICKMAN'S ORCHARD FLOODED A Misunderstanding as to the Delivery of Water Causes an Unpleasantness Between Neighbors. The water board held an interesting session on Saturday afternoon. There were present Directors Fay, Pierotti, Chapman, Crowther, Rea and Nebelung. Mr. Crowther of the Ditch Committee, reporting upon the complaint made by Mrs. des Granges relative to the removal of a gate in her ditch at Placentia, said that the complaint of the lady was groundless; that the gate had not been constructed in conformity with the rules of the company, nor under the supervision of the Superintendent. The gate was the handiwork of Joe des Granges, said Mr. Crowther: was not made properly, was too high and was really an obstruction in the ditch. It backed up the water, which overran the sides of both banks, and some one had come along and removed it. No blame attached to the Superintendent, as charged by the lady, and the complaint was laid on the table. The conditions imposed by E. R. Amorige in the construction of a cement ditch running on Commonwealth avenue in Fullerton west to the nursery amounted, according to the Ditch Committee, to nothing. Amorige had waived them, and the committee felt safe in recommending its construction. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Pierotti, and on showing the advantages of it, the ditch was ordered constructed of sufficient size to be used as one of the main ditches. The earthen ditch paralleling the proposed waterway on the north will, upon the completion of the new ditch, be abandoned. Mr. Crowther reported that the property-owners along the ditch running on the north line of P. Hansen's kopje-platz in Placentia had come into town to make out deeds to the company conveying rights of way for a proposed cement ditch on that line. Mr. Melrose, the company's attorney, was out of town, however, and the deeds could not be executed. Chairmain Fay observed no deeds could have been made out on that day, because no description of the land had yet been furnished the company. The bringing of the property-owners into town was therefore rather prema- Mr. Crowther reported that the property-owners along the ditch running on the north line of P. Hansen's kopjeplatz in Placentia had come into town to make out deeds to the company conveying rights of way for a proposed cement ditch on that line. Mr. Melrose, the company's attorney, was out of town, however, and the deeds could not be executed. Chairman Fay observed no deeds could have been made out on that day, because no description of the land had as yet been furnished the company. The bringing of the property-owners into town was therefore rather premature. Mr. Pierotti said these people have had two months in which to make out the description of their lands and execute deeds, and now that they had come in before the work was ready to be taken up, they might come into town again. The suggestion was adopted. Mr. Pierotti, to whom he was designated the task of straightening out the state of affairs between Mr. Ferral, living on the old Chynoweth place on East street, said the affair looked to him to be a neighborhood quarrel. Ferral had plowed in a ditch, which kept his neighbors from getting the water. Ferral had also been engaged in the work of raising the company's gates in the ditch running the water to the sandwash, which was against the rules. The board discussed the matter of having the attorney take up the case with Ferral, and later deferred further consideration of the matter to the executive session. Mr. Rea brought up the necessity for repairing the crossing in the cement ditch on Fairview avenue near Mr. Meredith's place. The crossing, Mr. Rea said, needed graveling. To the Superintendent. Mr. Hickman and Mr. Ganahl, two of the prosperous horticulturists of East street, occupied seats on different sides of the Directors' room. They had had a little misunderstanding as to the delivery of water to them, and when the chair invited Mr. Hickman to state his case to the board, that gentleman arose and said he desired to be informed relative to the zanjero's rights and duties. The chair—Haven't you a copy of the by-laws? Mr. Hickman replied that he had not. However, Zanjero Brunworth had promised him the water on the preceding Wednesday. On arising Thursday morning he discovered his whole orchard had been flooded and the ridges washed down. The water had been running to the place during the night. Mr. Hickman asked whether he should be compelled to repair the ridges, and protested against the act of the zanjero. He claimed he had not been properly notified as to the time he would be served with the water, and had thereby sustained considerable damage. His ground was so wet that he could not enter the orchard to replace the ridges, and he did not think he should be required to replace them at his own expense. Mr. Ganahl arose and said that inasmuch as Mr. Hickman had mentioned his name, he desired to be heard upon the subject. Mr. Hickman knew, he said, that he (Ganahl) always had the water first; he was the last one on the ditch, and it was the company's rule to deliver water first to the last one on the ditch. He asserted that Hickman entertained a grudge against him, and charged that the overflow onto Hickman's land was all that gentleman's own fault. He upheld the work of Zanjero Brunworth, whom he referred to as a competent official, who had carved themselves in its preparation and never did a joyous party sit down to a more enjoyable lot of comestibles. The visiting delegates were as follows: San Diego—August Senseenbrenner, Louis Fritz, Henry Ewald, P. J. Piepenbring, Los Angeles—Dr. H. Newland, John C. Dotter, Louis Roeder, W. H. Gehrken, J. C. Kolff, E. Nollar, Fred Detmer, Richard Glauch, Louis Gewertz. On Sunday at 10:30 a.m., the convention was formally opened with a few well chosen remarks from Turner Ewald of San Diego, president of the district. Delegates present as follows: Dr. Newland, F. Detmars, C. Entemann, W. H. Gehrkens, M. Gehrkens, C. Dotter, M. Matuskowitz, R. Glauch, E. Nollac, C. F. Kolff, L. Rocker, C. Cornellus, K. Ross, A. Maas, Los Angeles; L. Fritz, H. Ewald, M. L.

The San Diego delegation reported that the public schools of that city had adopted the German system of turning At 2 p.m., the convention adjourned to meet again next year at Los Angeles. The delegates expressed themselves highly pleased with the treatment accorded them in the city of Anaheim. The Los Angeles contingent left on the northbound evening train, and San Diego delegates left for home Monday morning. Gut Heil! Auf Wiedersehn! Death of Mrs. Norman. Mrs. Charles Norman breathed her last at her home in West Anaheim on Saturday afternoon, after a lingering illness, at 4:15 o'clock. She had been ill for three years with a complication of internal disorders. She had undergone a year ago, a surgical operation in Los Angeles, which afforded only temporary relief. It was impossible for her to recover, although everything that medical skill could devise was employed to relieve her sufferings. Recently her condition showed some improvement and hopes were entertained for a prolongation of her life, but she succumbed at last to the Destroyer, surrounded by her sorrowing family. She was in her twenty-eighth year, and leaves two little children to mourn her loss. The funeral occurred on Sunday from the Christian church. The services were conducted by C.C. Chapman, and were impressive and eloquent. The remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowful friends. The pal bearers were Fred Rimpau, Frank Eastman, Wm. Cooper, Joe des Granges, R.H.Dickens, W.M.Miller. Mrs.Norman was a native of Kansas, and had many friends who deeply mourn her untimely end. The stricken husband and father has condolence of the entire community in his loss. Death has again invaded his household and taken from him the mother of his children. Four motherless children survive the visitations of the Reaper.

Handsome Dining-Room A peep into the dining-room of this Commercial hotel on Monday just before the dinner hour showed it to be all respects particularly inviting. Tables were spread with snowy linens—the silver glass and china-ware bright in its scrupulous cleanliness and the napkins fitted in glasses like porcelain added their graces to what was particularly handsome aspect.The cottains were drawn,但 enough light penetrated from the shaded window to show that Landlord Malcolm undoubtedly stands his business in every conceivable detail. Later the tables were spread with the choiceiest viands,and dinner such would tempt the appetite of a king's spread before the guests of this hotel. The merchants and citizens of To generally should accord Mr.Malcolm a generous support.Many of our residents little dream ofthe handsome pointments ofthe hotel placed since present proprietor took chargevisit about meal time will do wonderto dispell the notion that we are w Mr. Ganahl arose and said that inasmuch as Mr. Hickman had mentioned his name, he desired to be heard upon the subject. Mr. Hickman knew, he said, that he (Ganahl) always had the water first; he was the last one on the ditch, and it was the company’s rule to deliver water first to the last one on the ditch. He asserted that Hickman entertained a grudge against him, and charged that the overflow onto Hickman’s land was all that gentleman’s own fault. He upheld the work of Zanjero Brunworth, whom he referred to as a competent official, who had carried out the rules of the company. He had simply come to the meeting, he said, to speak in defense of the zanjero, who he had heard on the streets would be charged with neglect of duty by Mr. Hickman. That gentleman knew that he (Ganahl) was to get the water first, and he ought to have been ready to take it in his turn. The board declined to hear the matter further and referred it to the Ditch Committee. Mr. Hickman said as he left the room that if the company did not at once proceed to fix the blame for the overflooding of his land, and make amends for the losses sustained by him, it would hear from him soon in another direction. George M. Young of Placentia submitted a communication stating that the ditch running by his place is located inside of the 30 feet reserved for road purposes. He asked that it be set out to the proper line, and cemented. He agreed to fill up the old ditch and do all necessary backfilling for the new ditch. To the Ditch Committee, Executive session. Progressive Hearts. Miss Dora Zeyn and Mrs. C. E. Holcomb entertained on St. Valentine’s day at the residence of their father, J. P. Zeyn. The house was profusely decorated with “hearts,” ferns and smilax. Progressive hearts, as being most appropriate to the day, was the game of the afternoon. The first prize, a jardiniere and fern, was won by Mrs. McKinley, the second, a red heart-shaped pin cushion, by Miss Jessie Melrose, and the consolation by Mrs. Konig. At the close of the game delicious refreshments were served by the young hostesses, who are proverbial for their hospitality.

Frederick Gruenemay, an old and highly respected citizen of this community, died at Fullerton on Wednesday afternoon of last week at 2:40 o’clock. Mr. Gruenemay had been in feeble health for some months past, and had gone to Fullerton in the hope that a change would tend to improve his condition. He was a sufferer from rheumatism, which finally attacked the heart, resulting in dissolution. An inquiry was held upon the remains by Coroner Clark and a jury, which found that death resulted from natural causes. The remains were brought to Joseph Backs’ undertaking rooms, whence the funeral was held on Thursday at 2 o’clock. The burial services were conducted by Rev. Kogler of the German Lutheran church. The deceased had lived in Anaheim since 1893. He was born in 1843, in Wurtemberg, Germany, where a widow, a son and a daughter survive him. His son, Fritz Gruenemay of this city, is the only other surviving relative.

Let all the shareholders attend and assure a quorum. The social dance given at the Del Campo by the ladies of the Episcopal Guild on Friday evening was a very enjoyable as well as quite largely attended social affair. Dancing continued until a late hour, and at midnight supper was served. Games at cards served to while away the time for those who were not terpsichoreally inclined, and those present combine in extolling the ladies for providing such a thoroughly enjoyable evening's entertainment. The new pressed-steel ceiling in N. Hart's establishment is the most gorgeous thing of its kind in Southern California. Harry Bundy and Emil Goepfer officiated at the job of placing the new ceiling, Arthur Lewis installed the electric lights in his usual artistic fashion, and now Tommy Diedrich will paint the interior. Mr. Hart has been to considerable expense in introducing the new ceiling, and has now one of the handsomest establishments of the kind on the coast. Mrs. Ellen Hopkins died at her home on South Los Angeles street on Tuesday of consumption, aged 28 years. The remains were interred yesterday morning, services being held at the Catholic church. The deceased leaves BUT NO RAIN CAME. Forecast Officials Predict Wetness, but the Dry Spell Continues. The Weather Bureau on Tuesday morning issued the following bulletin: "A storm of moderate energy is central this morning in the vicinity of Puget Sound. Cloudy weather with fresh southerly winds prevails southward to Central California. "Rain is falling in the Sacramento valley, in the San Francisco bay country and at Tacoma. Rain has fallen generally as far south as the San Joaquin valley. Snow has fallen in the mountain sections. "San Francisco reports a rainfall of .34 of an inch within the last twenty-four hours, Red Bluff of .40, Santa Barbara of .25, and Fresno of .02. "Fair weather prevails in Southern California this morning, but the State forecast indicates cloudy weather tonight with probable rain Wednesday. "Local forecast for Los Angeles and vicinity: Increasing cloudiness tonight, becoming unsettled by Wednesday morning, very likely with occasional showers Wednesday." Yesterday, however, the weather was fair with not a sign of moisture. Weather prophets predict little if any rain for this month, but oodles of it for March. CLAIR. The Clair folk are waiting for rain with the hope deferred that makethhe heart sick. On Sunday night we all brought wood and kindling intothe house, sure that it would pour beforethe morning and keep it up for a week; but a Santa Monica wind sprang up and blew the rain clouds away to Mexico. What about the early-sown barley, once so full of promise? It's away, changed its color, turned yellow and went, and all the rain in the reservoirs of Jupiter Pluvius couldn't bring it back again. There's a ray of hope forthe late-sown barley; if it rains within ten days the barley will rise to its opportunity and lengthen out, and then again if it gets an inch or more in March it will "head." Ike Williams' baler and Wm. Hill's thresher will then have a full summer's run handling the best barley Orange county has seen in 20 years. The straw will be short and sweet, and the rest of it will be all "heads." What about the sugar-beet industry? Mrs. Harrison is visiting with friends at Redlands. V. R. Cayce of this city has taken position with Max Jacobson of San Ana. Miss Ellen Moran of Placentia was town yesterday afternoon visiting friends. J. B.

Cows are getting cheaper, too. If the rains come there will be a large acreage re-sown to barley, but sorghum and stock beets will be the popular crops. The windmill consisting of a buggy wheel, with flanges on the spokes, will be in evidence again this year; and it's not a bad institution either.

The origin of the quarrel between the above gentry is: One day Baker charged Boney with taking sand off the county road whereupon Boney said, "Come out of your wagon and we'll soon settle it!" In an instant Baker was "out," and in another was "in" again; but not until Boney's bony fist had echoed on the bridge of Baker's nose and Baker called for mercy. Frost in Florida. Jacksonville (Fla.), February 18. Florida orange growers are threatened with another loss, their new groves being in danger from the cold wave now prevailing throughout the State. Early this morning the mercury registered 16 degrees above. Today it has been freezing, and tonight is even colder than was last. For a few weeks since the January cold wave the weather has been warm, and many groves have leaved out and begun to show signs of spring life. Growers are fearful that these groves will be utterly killed or badly injured if the cold continues. In the past few months hundreds of groves have been protected by tall fences or rough sheds erected over and around them numerous cheap, castiron stoves being used to keep warm in the groves. Stetson, the Philadelphia millionaire, who has five groves at Deland, built regular houses around and over his trees at a cost of many thousands of dollars. Reports coming in tonight say that the growers were warned of the impending cold weather, and that in South Florida the settlements were all冷左 last night for miles from continu- by his friends to enter the race for Cress in the Sixth district as success to Waters.

The suit to remove the "obstruction" (the Supervisors did not vote to remove the "dam" as such) will be contested spiritedly, and will be carried to the court of ultimate appeal (the United States Supreme Court) before its final ending. Meantime the people of the county will be taxed to support the case of the plaintiff. Did you see John Hartung's face at the Turner concert last Saturday night? No? Well, you missed the sight of your life. Actually, when J. W. Rice of Tustin played Remenyi's arrangement of Schubert's "Serenade," John's face was broader than long; he was so pleased that along with the usual things he also wore a beautiful smile which, by the way, has not yet left his handsome countenance. And no wonder! Such playing on the violin one does not hear very often. Mr. Rice has studied hard with his master, Mr. Jacobsohn of Chicago. His tone is powerful—big, round and smooth; his technique is solid and virtuoso-like, his bowing is graceful in the extreme and very firm, and his intonation faultless. Altogether, he is of that musical temperament which, with application and hard work, makes the artist. We voice the sentiment of all who heard him by saying, Come again, Mr. Rice, and bring your violin. Industrial, Mining and Citrus Exposition.

The growers were warned of the impending cold weather, and that in South Florida the settlements were all aglow last night for miles from continuous fires, which were kept up in the groves. The same precaution is being used tonight. Peach-Tree Borer. Horticultural Commissioner Huntington on Monday discovered the peach-tree borer in a consignment of 6000 peach trees imported by Richman & Mills, the Fullerton nurserymen, from Fort Scott, Kansas. On Tuesday he began a thorough inspection of the lot, and on that day and yesterday destroyed many of the trees. Those which were found to be free of the borer were submerged in a hot solution of whale-oil soap, diluted one-half pound to a gallon of water, heated to 125 degrees, and immersed for a period of two minutes. The packing and boxing of infected trees were burned. Orchardists cannot be too careful in avoiding this dreaded pest. It is the part of wisdom to heed the warning sent out by the State horticultural quarantine officer, that it is better that parties who intend to plant peach trees abstain from planting for a year rather than take chances of introducing this pest into their orchards. Be careful where you buy peach trees. A Fair Division. Judge—What are you going to give your lawyer if he proves you innocent of the charge of burglary? Prisoner—Half the proceeds of the robbery.
