WATER BOARD AND COL. TUFFREE AGREE. Latter Gives Right of Way for Ditches Through Buena Vista Ranch— Water Runs Reversed. The water board at its meeting on Saturday occupied the greater part of the afternoon in discussing the amended agreement submitted by Col. Tuffree for right of way for the company's main and other ditches through his ranch. At the previous meeting Col. Tuffree submitted a draft of an agreement, the terms of which have already appeared in these columns. To a number of his conditions the water board dissented, and a statement of the water company's position was drafted and later submitted to him for his consideration. To this the Colonel objected, and a further conference was arranged between him and the committee having the matter in hand. Mr. Sherwood, speaking for the committee, said this conference had been held, and an agreement arrived at regarding the matters at issue, the company giving way on some points, Col. Tuffree on others. Relative to supplying him with water for domestic purposes, Tuffree maintained that he had acquired that right by virtue of taking water out of the company's ditches for a period longer than five years. He (Sherwood) regarded the matter as of small consequence and advised that such water be furnished Tuffree in return for valuable rights granted the company by him. Mr. Bradford, speaking further of the conference with Tuffree, said the latter had withdrawn from his position relative to the number of bridges to be constructed over ditches on the ranch, as well as the cementing of the ditch on the northeast corner of the ranch. An agreement had also been arrived at relative to the disposal of earth from cleaning ditches on the ranch. As to water to be used for domestic purposes, Tuffree claimed he had been given that right by a former board, and now claimed it as a perpetual right. Mr. Pierotti knew of no such agreement. The fact that Tuffree had tapped the ditch had not been brought to the attention of the board until 1899. Certainly Tuffree could not claim any right to water because he had once tapped the ditch. The board had never given him the right to take water, and information relative to the quantity of gravel necessary to be hauled for the cementing of the ditch running by his mother's property. Referred to the Superintendant, and des Grauges notified that before cementing could begin, steps must be taken by him to dismiss the suit brought by him against the company for trespass upon his property by the ditch in question, also a quitclaim deed for any rights he may in future claim. On motion of Pierotti, the cement ditches petitioned for by Robert Hansen and W. W. Adams west of town were ordered constructed, the former to have a capacity of 200 inches, the latter of 300 inches. Petition of S. Tucker asking for a change in the location of a gate in the ditch supplying him with water, was denied. Mr. Bradford said that the change asked for would only make possible the irrigation of one stunted peach tree. And so Tucker was turned down. Death of Mrs. Krick. Mrs. Philip Krick, mother of Philip H. Krick, secretary of the water company, died at the home of her son-in-law, R. J. Laidlaw, at Placentia, on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Krick suffered from heart trouble, although she had lately been in unusually good health. She was in the habit of lying down for a nap after the noon hour. On Monday she retired to her room for rest as usual. At 2 o'clock her daughter went to call her, and found that life was extinct. Dr. Rich of Fullerton was summoned but found that she was beyond mortal aid. Deceased was a native of Schoneberg Kingdom of Bavaria-Pfalz, Germany and was aged 68 years, 11 months and 21 days. She had resided at Placentia for a year. She came to recuperate her health, which had been bad since she had had the grip, some years ago. The funeral occurred yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from the residence of R. J. Laidlaw, at Placentia. Interment was in the Anaheim cemetery. Baseball.

As to water to be used for domestic purposes, Tuffree claimed he had been given that right by a former board, and now claimed it as a perpetual right. Mr. Pierotti knew of no such agreement. The fact that Tuffree had tapped the ditch had not been brought to the attention of the board until 1899. Certainly Tuffree could not claim any right to water because he had once tapped the ditch. The board had never given him the right to take water, and he doubted if Tuffree could maintain his alleged right in court. Mr. Crowther was of opinion that the conditions imposed by Tuffree would not be at all satisfactory to the stockholders. He objected to giving Tuffree water for domestic purposes free. No other stockholder had that privilege, and he did not consider it right to accord it to Tuffree. Rather than submit, he preferred a lawsuit. He believed in the theory, "Millions for defense, but not a cent for tribute." He would rather have 100 lawsuits rather than submit to a wrong. If Tuffree can claim the water, why can he not also claim the ditch? The board discussed the matter in all its bearings at length. The consensus of opinion was that a lawsuit be avoided; that Tuffree be conciliated. To that end it was agreed to offer him two shares of stock, upon which he could purchase water for domestic purposes, in return for a deed to right of way for the main ditch through his 640-acre ranch. Relative to Tuffree's demand that he be furnished water before irrigators in the Kramer tract (which is now the rule) the board decided to placate him by complying, and resolved to change the order of the runs, beginning at the head of the ditch instead of at the foot. The rule has been for years been to begin delivering water at the foot of the ditch and work up to the head. This order, in deference to Tuffree's demand, will be reversed beginning with the next run. Tuffree's agreement was turned over to Mr. Bradford, at the conclusion of the discussion, to be returned to Tuffree, he having insisted that the document be returned to him, either signed or unsigned, at the conclusion of the meeting. Mr. Crowther expressed himself as being of the opinion that Tuffree was trying to run the company. Rather than give way to him on every point, he said, he favored a lawsuit—a friendly suit. Attorney Melrose said there was no such thing as a friendly suit—when people go to law, they try to win their case, and fight hard to achieve their ends. It was reported that Tuffree had placed a dam in one of the ditches crossing his ranch, causing the water to overflow across the ranch, giving it a fine irrigation. Mr. Crowther—He wanted to irrigate his land! Tuffree must be told that while he is carrying on negotiations with the company, he must refrain from tampering with the ditches. The matter was passed to the next office of Tuffree's management.

The matter was passed to the next meeting by the return of Tuffree's agreement to Mr. Bradford. On his way home Bradford held a conference with Tuffree at the conclusion of which Tuffree agreed to accept two shares of stock, in order to procure water for domestic purposes, in return for granting the company free right of way through his ranch. The agreement between him and the company is a lengthy one, and was to have been signed up by both parties this week.

The agreement had been that if there was no sale there would be no commission, and he reported that the Orange man's letter would receive attention later on, no purchase of the property in question having been made by the company. Mr. Crowther suggested that the commission be cut to $50. Mr. Adams said the sixty-day option on the Yorba reservoir site was rapidly drawing to a close, and he suggested that something be done in the matter. Mr. Sherwood said that before a purchase of the site was made the opinion of a competent engineer should be procured relative to its availability for reservoir purposes. He was to have a conference shortly with engineer Lippincott in Los Angeles, and if agreeable to the board he would have that gentleman investigate the site with reference to its practicability, and report at some future meeting. Mr. Lippincott being a government employee would make no charge for his services. Mr. Sherwood was delegated authority to confer with Mr. Lippincott, and have him make the examination, if found convenient for him to do so.

And the Trustees Make Him Return to Santa Ana for It Before Granting Him the Electric Franchise. Capt. Tolle, the hustling representa-tive of the electric railway now asking a franchise for the operation of its line through this city, arrived in town on Tuesday evening for the purpose of bidding for the franchise before the Trustees, as per the terms of the advertisement concerning the same. He was all ready to proceed to the work in hand, when City Attorney Chynoweth asked him for the bond in the sum of $500 which the trustees demand for the faithful performance of the terms of the franchise. Tolle said he had not brought it with him, but thought that on the morrow he would be able to prepare it in no time atall. Chynoweth preferred to have the bond filed with the bid. Tolle said that at Whittier he had filed his bond several days after the franchise was awarded him. Chynoweth said the law required the bond to be filed with the bid—he doubted if a franchise legal in the eyes of the law could be otherwise granted. Tolle had no other recourse than to return to Santa Ana for the bond. He hired a livery rig and set out for the county seat post haste. He left at 6:45, and returned at 9:15, making the round-trip record for bonds. The City Trustees met at 8, and heard the report of collections by Marshal Steadman as follows: For water, $180.30; electric lights, $322.35; licenses, $167.75; total, $670.40; less 5 per cent for collection, $33.52; deposited with Treasurer, $636.88.

Seldom have our German-speaking citizens enjoyed an evening of greater pleasure than was provided by the performance of "Die Wilde Toni," at Turner hall on Sunday evening. The cast of characters was composed of a quartet of ladies and gentlemen from Los Angeles, who portrayed their parts in a manner calling for unstinted praise. Frau Emil Oder de Nicolas, in title role, carried off the honors as the ungovernable village maiden. The play was originally written for her while she was a soubrette in Munich. For her success in filling the role she was decorated, along with the author, with the order for "Art and Science." Toni is an orphan girl, industrious and of excellent character, but fiery temperament and jealous disposition. One Sunday as she leaves church with Seff, her woodchopper lover, a strange young lady drops her handkerchief, and he picks it up and restores it to her. This provokes a fit of jealousy on the part of Toni, and she breaks off the engagement. The strange young lady turns out to be Seff's sister, who has been away for years. To cure Toni of her jealousy, Marie makes love to Seff, and many amusing situations are afforded. Finally all is explained, Toni and Seff are reconciled and the curtain falls to slow music. The cast of characters was as follows: Toni..... Frau Emil Oder de Nicolas Marie Werner..... Marla Brinkman Seff., ein Holzknecht (a woodchopper)..... Ernst Oder Ignatz,ein Jager (a hunter). Ernst Rudolph Toni had no difficulty in capturing the audience from the start, and her meeting with Marie was filled with many delightful situations. Previous to the rendition of the comedy the following musical program was given: "Die Elsbahn."..... Exner Singing Section Turn Verein Mandolin solo, Mazurka..... Winlawsky Prof. H. Babize, Santa Ana Encore: "Hearts and Flowers."..... Moses Tenor Solo, "It Was Not Thus To Be."... Abt August Freise Encore: "O Happy Day." Cello Solo, "The Swan.".....
