LOCAL EVENTS OF INTEREST. Thinks He Saw Nelson. Fred Johnson is convinced that he held a conversation with the murderer Nelson, who killed a woman in Los Angeles a month ago and has not since been apprehended. He talked with him some days ago at Fullerton, and believes the murder was done with his own revolver, which was stolen from an orange picking camp in the Botsford grove a week before the killing. While conversing with an orange picker at Fullerton one day last week, the latter exhibited a revolver which Johnson immediately recognized as his own. The weapon had been purchased from a man who said he in turn had purchased it from two tramps. Johnson took the weapon and in company of Constable Pendergrast repaired to Chadbourne Hall, where the man who is now supposed to be Nelson was attending an entertainment. This man is described as being the perfect likeness of Nelson, being red-headed, freckle-faced, and having a scar on the right hand, like the murderer. He was called from the hall, and on being confronted by Johnson said he had bought the pistol from two tramps whom he said he could produce before 9 o'clock next morning. Johnson told him the pistol had been stolen from his camp, and that the man's story of buying the weapon from tramps was untrue. Pendergrast said: "You will have to explain how you came by the revolver by tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock or I will arrest you." The next day the fellow took the first train out of town, leaving his belongings behind him. The fellow sold the pistol to the orange picker for 50 cents. He had filed off the sight, and had filed several nicks in the barrel and handle. He was in Anaheim some days before and offered the weapon to Frank Fox for a dollar. Dr. Clark's Young Son. Dr. Clark of Fullerton has a son of 5 years of age, who is an especially bright little fellow. He took his kid to Los Angeles the other day to buy for him a baseball and a new red cap. While seated in his car at the depot, waiting for the home trip, the youngster plied the old man with numberless questions. success of the rod and reel tournaments of the Tuna club in former years, in the interest of a higher standard of sport, and the protection of the game fishes of Southern California, the club will give an open tournament at Santa Catalina Island, California, from May 1, to October 1, 1901, inclusive. The object is to encourage the use of the rod and light tackle in taking the large game fishes of these waters, and in every way to elevate the sport to the highest standard. Prizes are open to all men not professionals, special prices being arranged for ladies. The only restrictions are the rules of the Tuna club that rods and reels must be used, and that rods must not be less than six feet nine inches in length, the tip of which must weigh not less than sixteen ounces. By the word tip is meant all that portion of the rod from reel seat to end of rod; the line must not exceed twenty-four thread or strand, and be capable of sustaining a dead weight of not more than forty-eight pounds. The drag known as the Rabeth drag is barred. Each angler must bring his fish to gaff unaided, and the fish must be reeled in, a broken rod either before or after gaffing the fish disqualifying the angler. The tournament is open to amateurs only; professional fishermen, those engaged in allied industries, and members of their families are debarred, except as stated in special class I. During the tournament of the Tuna club there will be exhibited by the Santa Catalina Aquarium and Zoological Station as complete a collection of the living game fishes of this region as possible, so that contesting anglers may see and observe the fish before taking them. The rock bass seen here are particularly commended to lovers of eight and ten-ounce split bamboo rods. There will be shown also, if possible, all the different live baits used by the members of the Tuna club, including sardine, smelt, mackerel, crayfish, octopus clams, sea worms, abalone, flying fish, squid, etc. TURNER PICNIC. Next Sunday occurs the Turner picnic at Columbia garden. Extensive preparations are making for the athletic contests which will be a feature of the day's festivities. There will be turning on horizontal and parallel bars, for Rouse's removal, and so far as known all maintained their position, some being indignant at the manner in which he is said to have treated residents in the vicinity of the Trabuco reserve. According to complaints which have come in from various residents, it would appear that Rouse has been very severe in the interpretation of his duties. In the case of the Atkinson brothers, it is said that he told them to remove their bees within ten days or he would burn them up, to which threat the Atkinsons responded that if he set fire to the bees they would "fill him full of holes." Rouse may be removed from his office. For High School Flag. An enjoyable entertainment was given at the Opera-house on Monday evening for the purpose of procuring funds for the purchase of a flag for the high school. Quite a sum of money was secured for the laudable purpose. Much of the credit for the performance is due Mrs. Schneider, who took an active part in arranging the affair. The program was as follows: Selection....Fullerton Orchestra Minstrel Overture....Fullerton High School girls, assisted by Fullerton Glee Club Violin Solo—"The Mosquito's Dance" Master Coilis Quartet—"Mammy's Little' Lasses candy Coon" Fullerton Glee Club Soprano Solo—Selected.

The annual election of officers of the Southern California Deciduous Fruit Exchange was held in Los Angeles on Monday. A.R. Sprague was re-elected president, J.B.Neff of this city vice-president, and Morton Haig of San Gabriel, secretary.

He was in Anaheim some days before and offered the weapon to Frank Fox for a dollar. Dr. Clark's Young Son. Dr. Clark of Fullerton has a son of 5 years of age, who is an especially bright little fellow. He took his kid to Los Angeles the other day to buy for him a baseball and a new red cap. While seated in his car at the depot, waiting for the home trip, the youngster plied the old man with numberless questions. He calls his father "Doctor," and when a railroad attendant tried the compressed air he asked: "What's that noise mean, Doctor?" "That's compressed air," replied his father. "What's pressed air?" inquired the kid. His father had to admit he didn't know. Pretty soon an engine rolled down an adjoining track, and the youngster had numerous questions to ask concerning it. Finally the youngster said: "Where is that engine going, doctor?" "Down to the round house," replied the old man. "Where is the round house?" inquired the kid. "Oh down the track here somewhere," answered his father, amiably. "I'll show it to you sometime." "Do, doctor," said the kid, "I should like very much to know all about it." That kid may be President yet. Landlord's New Story. The Landlord is telling a new story about an Irishman, just over, who had been told money could be picked up in the streets in America. Pat was walking along a public thoroughfare one day shortly after his arrival, and seeing a tin tag lying upon the sidewalk, picked it up, imagining it was money. He went to the nearest saloon, tossed it upon the bar, and called for a glass of beer. "That's tin," said the barkeeper. "Is it?" replied Pat. "Then have wan wid me. I thought it was only a five." The Landlord will spring the story on Tim Carroll the first time Tim comes to town. Another Baron. Baron R. Lechman of Holland has been spending a couple of days in Los Angeles. He stayed only about forty-eight hours, but left a trail of simoleons wherever he went. He just blew in, and once he arrived he kept right on blowing in in a most delightful way. He came in a sumptuous private car. He had as travelling companions a gentleman friend and the wife and daughter of Mr. Mohler, the Oregon steamship man, who is a relative of the Baron. A specialty of the Baron was getting himself photographed. He liked to mingle himself with semi-tropical scenery. He was keen in the search for sweeping palm backgrounds, in front of which he planted himself and posed. He hired a photographer to go ticularly commended to lovers of eight and ten-ounce split bamboo rods. There will be shown also, if possible, all the different live baits used by the members of the Tuna club, including sardine, smelt, mackerel, crayfish, octopus clams, sea worms, abalone, flying fish, squid, etc. TURNER PICNIC.

The association starts out with a large acreage. The directorate is composed of the following gentlemen: Harry Goodnight, W.T. Clark, B.R. Gerhardt of the Peat, and C.F. Hell and M.C. Cole of Santa Ana. More Rigs. The Santa Fe company have sent in an order for twelve new rigs to be put to work drilling for oil on their land at the mouth of the Soquel canyon. The company have six rigs now employed, and with the additions ordered will soon be operating eighteen. OIL MAGNATES.

At a meeting of the joint litigation committees of the two water companies at Orange some time ago, the following report was submitted: To the Board of Directors S.A.V.I.Co. and A.U.W.Co. GENTLEMEN—Your committee examined the statements of accounts drawn off from the two books of the two companies, verified such statements by the vouchers that were available and find that the settlement made by Messrs.Cargill and Goodrich up to June 1, 1900, is correct and that since that date the S.A.V.I.Co. has expended on behalf of the two companies $3,217.60 more than that expended by the A.U.W.Co.for like purposes, as shown by the tabulated statements herewith and made a part of this report. Your committee would, therefore, their singing was greatly enjoyed, and the ladies were presented with numerous bouquets. All the other selections were rendered in creditable style. The entertainment was concluded by a social hop until 12 o'clock. Deciduous Fruits. The annual election of officers of the Southern California Deciduous Fruit Exchange was held in Los Angeles on Monday. A.R. Sprague was re-elected president, J.B.Neff of this city vice-president, and Morton Haig of San Gabriel, secretary. Mr. Sprague will have charge of deciduous fruit shipments for the Northern Exchange, and will be located at Sacramento for six months during the coming summer. Mr. Neff may take his place as manager of the Southern California Exchange during his absence. Apricots are reported about a failure. Frost has killed the crop in the northern and central portions of the state, and the crop in the southern counties does not amount to much. A few valleys in the north will have part of a crop, but on the whole the yield will be near a failure as it is possible to get. Walnut buyers are in the field this early, looking after the crop which promises well. As yet no sales have been made, but it is not believed prices will range quite so high as last year. Swinehart Shot At. M.L. Swinehart of Santa Ana, who threatened to build the electric railway around by way of Placentia and leave Anaheim off the map, was shot at while driving near Perris some evenings ago. He is engineering the work which Clarence Groat is putting in for the Temescal water company, and stopped at Groat's camp for supper, leaving there at 8:30. While in the canyon one wheel of his buggy stopped turning, and he alighted but could not find the wrench which he generally has in his buggy. He concluded to turn the wheel by main strength, and thus loosen it, but was amazed when he tried it to have the wheel turn as easily as ever. He was out of his buggy several minutes lighting a number of matches during that interval. The night was dark and chilly. When he again got into his buggy he stood up and was drawing the robe about him when some one shot at him with a revolver, the bullet whizzing past his head. The man who fired the shot stood a few feet ahead of the buggy at the flank of one of the horses. The team ran away, jerking the reins, which were lying across the dashboard, out over it. By the time Swinehart had crawled over the dashboard in the dark, gathered up the reins and got his team stopped, he was a short distance foom J.R.Denny's place in Warm Spring Valley. On the last pay day Swinehart paid off his men in cash, carrying several thousand dollars for that purpose. The miscreant who took a shot at him probably thought he would make a good haul. Swinehart did not happen to have any money about him, and in the future the men will be paid with checks. eight hours, but left a trail of simoleons wherever he went. He just blew in, and once he arrived he kept right on blowing in in a most delightful way. He came in a sumptuous private car. He had as traveling companions a gentleman friend and the wife and daughter of Mr. Mohler, the Oregon steamship man, who is a relative of the Baron. A specialty of the Baron was getting himself photographed. He liked to mingle himself with semi-tropical scenery. He was keen in the search for sweeping palm backgrounds, in front of which he planted himself and posed. He hired a photographer to go around with him. The photographer worked with him two days, with an assistant. At the end of that time the Baron asked the chief artist what his bill was, and the latter said: "Thirty dollars would be a fair price." "I'll make it $130 for luck," said the Baron. The Baron was fascinated with Jack Austin, the young fellow who helped to take the pictures. The Baron had never met a man who could press a button or snap a shutter in a way that pleased him so well. Jack was getting $80 a month. The Baron hired him to go in his retinue as his private photographer at a salary of $200 per month, assuring Jack that the engagement is permanent and that his private photographer will accompany him to Europe. The Baron and party left for the Yosemite, and Austin accompanied him in the capacity of official photographer. G. Abram Smith Dead. Geo. Abram Smith and wife departed from Santa Ana Saturday, April 20, for their home in Mobile, Alabama. On Thursday morning the news came that Smith died the previous night at Houston, Texas, of apoplexy. The remains were taken in charge by a brother, Congressman Wm. Alden Smith of Grand Rapids, Michigan, where interment took place. Smith has at one time connected with the Emma Abbott opera company. He had a fine baritone voice and was a popular concert singer. He was aged 40 years. Tuna Club. The prospectus of the third annual tournament of the Santa Catalina Island Tuna club has been received. In consequence of the unqualified amined the statements of accounts drawn off from the two books of the two companies, verified such statements by the vouchers that were available and find that the settlement, made by Messrs. Cargill and Goodrich up to June 1, 1900, is correct and that since that date the S. A. V. I. Co. has expended on behalf of the two companies $3,217.60 more than that expended by the A. U. W. Co. for like purposes, as shown by the tabulated statements herewith and made a part of this report. Your committee would, therefore, recommend that half of that excess payment be returned to the S. A. V. I. Co. by the A. U. W. Co. and that the secretaries of the two companies be instructed to balance their accounts in accordance with these findings. All of which is respectfully submitted: S.

Forest Supervisor Grant L. Taggart has been in Orange county from San Jacinto investigating certain charges against D. W. Rouse, ranger on the Trabuco forest reserve, which culminated in quite a strong petition for his removal. Mr. Taggart met a number of citizens, who had signed the petition Jerking the reins, which were lying across the dashboard, out over it. By the time Swinehart had crawled over the dashboard in the dark, gathered up the reins and got his team stopped, he was a short distance foom J.R.Denny's place in Warm Spring Valley. On the last pay day Swinehart paid off his men in cash, carrying several thousand dollars for that purpose. The miscreant who took a shot at him probably thought he would make a good haul. Swinehart did not happen to have any money about him, and in the future the men will be paid with checks. Horse Thieves. A dozen head of horses have been stolen in Orange county during the past two weeks. Horses have been stolen from Capistrano, Garden Grove, La Mirada and other places. No arrests have been made. Runaway Kids. Sheriff Lacy some days ago landed four boys from Pomona and Ontario in jail who were wanted at Pomona on a charge of stealing a horse and buggy. A message was received from Ontario asking the Sheriff to keep a watch for the kids, as it was believed they had come this way. Sheriff Lacy telephoned out on the San Joaquin ranch and found that the boys had just passed the old ranch on the Capistrano road. A man was dispatched after the boy on a bicycle, and they were overtaken near El Toro and brought back and landed in jail by the Sheriff. The boy range in age from 12 to 16 years, and gave the names of Elmer Swanton George Stover, Willie Fuller and Charles Driscoll. They claimed they were on their way to Oceanside, when they expected to go into camp. They were fitted out with camping supplies.The Ontario officers were notified of their capture, and the next day they kids were taken home. Arthur Porter of Fullerton, who has been quite seriously ill with pneumonia for some weeks past, is recovering and will probably soon be out again. Rev.F.R.Holcomb of Fullerton was in Anaheim one day last week on brief visit. He was in quest of charagne for Rev.Coultas, who had just undergone a surgical operation,and for whom the physicians prescribed that beverage. He failed to find an in town.

The rainest day Anaheimers have seen in a long time was experienced on Tuesday, when rain began falling at 7 o'clock and continued with slight intermissions during the day.

Buena Park reports an inch and five-hundredths. The rain insures a splendid beet crop, and is welcomed on all sides. Little damage is reported to hay, some of which had been mowed. The showers continued yesterday and last night it looked like more rain. Yesterday afternoon a thunder and hail storm arose. The sky was densely overcast, and rain and hail fell in torrents. Telephone wires were out of order all over town. Linemen were sent down from Los Angeles to repair them. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon 1.04 inches of rainfall had been recorded at the Southern Pacific depot. During a part of the afternoon the rainfall, hail and thunder beat anything ever experienced in this section. Hail fell in such quantities that several boys gathered it up and some snowballing.

A new "Big Four" is made up of Senators Jones of Nevada, Morgan of Alabama, Pettigrew of South Dakota and Senator Dorsey, who are dipping into mining operations in San Diego county on a larger scale than gold quartz was ever mined in that section of the country. The Senators are interested in an immense mountain of gold quartz situated at Picacho, about twenty-six miles north of Yuma, and on this side of the Colorado River. The proposition is immense in the amount of ore that is in sight, but the ore is of that low-grade variety which would not permit handling except on the extensive lines proposed. San Diego already has the largest quartz mill in the State, that at Hedges, where 140 stamps are dropping on low-grade ores similar in character to the mountain owned by the Senators, but this mill is only of one-half the capacity of that which the surveyors have already staked out for the Picacho proposition. At Hedges the water for the mill has to be pumped a distance of eighteen miles, but at Picacho the mill will be on the bank of the river, where the water supply will be a much less difficult question. The mountain of ore is about four miles back from the river, and the surveyors are at work planning tramways to the mill, as well as a branch to the Southern Pacific Railroad. Everything is being done on a big scale, and the work will begin at the Southern Pacific end of the branch line, so the machinery can be delivered at Picacho by railroad. It will be months before the 280 stamps begin falling, but when they do they will take care of hundreds of tons of rock a day. GOLD FEVER AT OLINDA. From Olinda, in Orange county, it is reported that the gold fever has struck the little village. According to the legend that runs in that section a band of horse thieves and counterfeiters, many years ago, carried on daring operations in the peaceful Santa Ana valley, returning with their gotten booty to a town here charge of fault shipments for the Exchange, and will be cementing for six months coming summer. Mr. Neff of this city vice-morton Haig of Sanetary. The will have charge of fault shipments for the Exchange, and will be cementing for six months coming summer.

On the day Swinehart paid off his men carrying several thousand dollars purpose. The miscreant a shot at him probably would make a good haul did not happen to have any but him, and in the future will be paid with checks. Military Picnic.

A new "Big Four" is made up of Senators Jones of Nevada, Morgan of Alabama, Pettigrew of South Dakota and Senator Dorsey, who are dipping into mining operations in San Diego county on a larger scale than gold quartz was ever mined in that section of the country. The Senators are interested in an immense mountain of gold quartz situated at Picacho, about twenty-six miles north of Yuma, and on this side of the Colorado River. The proposition is immense in the amount of ore that is in sight, but the ore is of that low-grade variety which would not permit handling except on the extensive lines proposed. San Diego already has the largest quartz mill in the State, that at Hedges, where 140 stamps are dropping on low-grade ores similar in character to the mountain owned by the Senators, but this mill is only of one-half the capacity of that which the surveyors have already staked out for the Picacho proposition. At Hedges the water for the mill has to be pumped a distance of eighteen miles, but at Picacho the mill will be on the bank of the river, where the water supply will be a much less difficult question. The mountain of ore is about four miles back from the river, and the surveyors are at work planning tramways to the mill, as well as a branch to the Southern Pacific Railroad. Everything is being done on a big scale, and the work will begin at the Southern Pacific end of the branch line, so the machinery can be delivered at Picacho by railroad. It will be months before the 280 stamps begin falling, but when they do they will take care of hundreds of tons of rock a day. GOLD FEVER AT OLINDA. From Olinda, in Orange county, it is reported that the gold fever has struck little village.

Seehart Shot At. Senchart of Santa Ana, who build the electric railway way of Placentia and limp off the map, was shot at near near Perris some even he is engineering the work Groat is putting in for real water company, and stop's camp for supper, leaving 200.

The night was dark When he again got into he stood up and was drawing about him when some one with a revolver, the bulge past his head. The man he shot stood a few feet behind his buggy at the flank of one recess. The team ran away, he reins, which were lying dashboard, out over it. By swinehart had crawled over hard in the dark, gathered up and got his team stopped, he distance foom J. R. Denny'sarm Spring Valley. On the day Swinehart paid off his men carrying several thousand dollars purpose.

From Olinda, in Orange county, it is reported that the gold fever has struck the little village. According to the legend that rans in that section a band of horse thieves and counterfeiters, many years ago, carried on daring operations in the peaceful Santa Ana valley, returning with their ill gotten booty to a cabin in one of the canyons of the hills, where small cabins have stood, and still may be seen in two canyons on the Santa Fe lease. One of these bears the suggestive title of "Robbers' Roost canyon." Not long ago it was stated an old Mexican drifted on to the lease and in his broken patrol told of a wonderously rich ledge of quartz from which these former marauders obtained the gold necessary in their counterfeiting operations. One of the men employed on the Sante Fe—an old miner who spent the best part of his life in mining and among "bad men"—followed the directions of the Mexican and found ledges that had been covered up and hidden. These have been found to be rich ledges. Only one or two others have been let in on the deal, as the land belongs to the railroad company, and there is very little chance of any benefits accruing from the divulgence of its whereabouts. A party by name of Thomas, who was here some months ago in the interests of an oil company in Los Angeles, claims to have discovered another ledge lying some two miles to the north and west of the Santa Fe properties. Small streaks of iron are not uncommon throughout the Olinda hills. A few years ago there was some excitement over the alleged discovery of coal on the Binder ranch, but this find did not prove profitable. F. H.
