SEVENGALI MILLS HYPNOTIZES BOARD Ditch Running Along His Nursery Will Remain Plowed In-Adams Takes Fall Out of Sherwood. A. A. Mills of Fullerton appeared before the water board at its meeting on Saturday afternoon and demurred to the reopening of the ditch between his property and that of A. McDermont, as petitioned for by A. Barrows, Rev. Holcomb and others. Mills submitted the following petition, in support of which his eloquence easily put the board under his hypnotic power, and thereafter he did with it as he pleased: FULLERTON, June 15, 1901. To the Board of Directors A. U. W. Co.—We the undersigned stockholders desire to protest against the opening of a ditch between A. McDermont and Richman & Mills. First—The question of the opening of this ditch to furnish water and for carrying waste was passed upon adversely by this board only last month. Second—If it be intended to open it to carry waste or flood water, then your petitioners for the opening ask you to open and maintain the ditch for their private convenience, that the flood waters may be diverted from their natural course westward, and carried over on to the land of J. H. Clever, or backed up on to land of Richman & Mills. RICHMAN & MILLS, J. H. CHEVER. The ditch in question was closed last Fall, upon petition of Richman & Mills, who set forth that it damaged the young trees in the nursery alongside of it. The other fellows say the nurserymen coveted the ground for the extension of their seed beds. There has for some time past existed considerable opposition on the part of Barrows, Holcomb and various others to the mode of water delivery in the zanja replacing the filled-in ditch, the two gentlemen named claiming to be damaged by waste water turned into the zanja by Richman & Mills. Some weeks ago they intimated they would hand the board a lawsuit over it, and at the board's last meeting petitioned it as follows: To the Board of Directors of the A. U. W. Co.—Gentlemen: We the undersigned stockholders respectfully petition your honorable body to re-establish and maintain the ditch between the property of Richman & Mills and that of A. McDermont in Fullerton, indicated by dotted line on accompanying diagram, which request we make for the following reasons: Because of the failure to maintain this ditch, rain water and waste water... aged by waste water turned into the zanja by Richman & Mills. Some weeks ago they intimated they would hand the board a lawsuit over it, and at the board's last meeting petitioned it as follows: To the Board of Directors of the A.U.W.C.—Gentlemen: We the undersigned stockholders respectfully petition your honorable body to re-establish and maintain the ditch between the property of Richman & Mills and that of A. McDermont in Fullerton, indicated by dotted line on accompanying diagram, which request we make for the following reasons: Because of the failure to maintain this ditch, rain water and waste water from the company's ditches is turned into short private ditches instead of being conducted away in the company's ditches; the result being that it flows over and across the lands to the south and west of the present terminus of the company's ditch, causing much damage and great inconvenience to the property owners of that vicinity. Two weeks ago the matter of reopening the ditch was deferred to give Mr. Crowther a chance to size up the land. He did so, and reported that apparently Barrows sustained more or less damage from overflow. In his opinion the best thing to do was to reopen it. At this point Mills caused his protest to be read, and addressing the board said the ditch had been closed originally because it was a nuisance, and because a better delivery of water could be made through the zanja. As for the charge that Richman turned water down the ditch to injure those below him, that was a dream. There had been no such occurrence. The nursery takes up all the water purchased for it. He would resist the opening of the ditch, feeling the company had not the right to delegate authority to shareholders to enter upon his land for the purpose of opening an unnecessary ditch. Barrows himself had three ditches by which he was delivered water, and now he asks for a waste ditch to run water from his property. When the board ordered the ditch filled in, it went on record as not abandoning its right to reopen it at any time. When Barrows appeared before the board pointing out howin he was damaged and how the ends of justice would be subserved by opening it up, the board leaned in favor of permitting the petitioners to reopen it, and only refrained from such action to admit of Crowther's getting upon the ground and informing himself by personal observation. When he reported intimating that Barrows was in the right, Mills butted in and brought the proceedings to a standstill. Mr. Pierotti (in a fatherly way)—Why don't you people get along in a neighborly way? I don't turn waste water into the ditch to injure my neighbor, and I have never yet had cause to make similar complaint. Why don't you go to the waste gate and turn the water out when you are through with it, instead of bothering the board with this neighborhood quarrel? Crowther—We shall have to be careful in future how we close up ditches, if stockholders, after being done a favor by, threaten to make trouble when other shareholders ask for their rights. Pierrotli moved that the prayer of petitioners that the ditch be reopened be the expense of constructing a new gate so that he might irrigate one additional peach tree. The committee had had the matter up before it a month ago, and recommended against Tucker's request. That report was adopted unanimously by the board, and he did not wish to reopen it at this time. Crowther thought Tucker's complaint of very small moment. Smith—It is a small matter, but right is right. Crowther—State your motion, then, and we'll vote upon it. Smith—I don't think it would be of any use. The matter was dropped. The board adopted a resolution forfeiting Mike Nolan's lease to 429 acres of land in the Rivas tract up the river, acquired by him last year for oil development purposes. Mike has failed to make good, and the board took a fall out of him. It was resolved that his lease was null and void and of no effect. S. S. Twombley wrote from Fullerton saying he had been overcharged by Zanjero Rod Stone in the amount of $4.15. The board thought Twombley was probably right, and gave him credit in the water ledger in that amount. On motion of Steward, seconded by Pierotti, a warrant in the amount of $175 was ordered drawn in favor of J. C. Travis for services rendered in the purchase of the Yorba reservoir. The sum of $4375 was ordered drawn in payment of semi-annual interest to the Union Trust company of San Francisco. The Dreyfus building on Center street was rented for purposes of a cement warehouse. At the suggestion of Attorney Melrose the board decided to go to Olive on Wednesday, June 19, to meet Mr. Irvine and members of the Santa Ana board, the party to go up the river on a tour of inspection of property belonging to Irvine over which the companies desire to purchase a right of way for a ditch. Egg Thrower. Some days ago a load of children belonging to the Anaheim school went to the Landing for a picnic. They were chaperoned by a well known and estimable lady of this city. The day was pleasantly spent at the seaside, but an incident which occurred at Westminster placed a temporary damper upon their youthful spirits and made some of the little girls cry. As a friendly greeting to the colony, the children gave the Anaheim high school yell; when a man passing in a wagon picked up one or two eggs from a box containing them in his conveyance, and hurled them at the party. It is believed he threw two eggs. They struck the dresses of two little girls, ruining them, and seriously interfering with the pleasure of the day. To add to the infamy, the Westminster blacksmith seemed to enjoy the little girls' predicament, and has come in for severe condemnation for his act. As for the man who threw the eggs, a term on the rock pile should teach him better manners. After the interruption children continued on the way to the seashore, boating, bathing and fishing. One boatman runs a fine mullet ashore and lands it with his oar. The fish, which is of an exceedingly game species, ran inshore between the boat and the beach in shallow water. The boatman jumped into the water, and, with his oar, succeeded in landing it high and dry upon the beach. At the beach the party ran across Harry Reisback, who placed them under obligations for many courtesies. Between Harry's cottage and the warehouse a few feet toward the west, a line has been surveyed for the railway from Long Beach to Santa Ana. The surveyors were at the Landing a month ago. They said they were the Salt Lake and Los Angeles people. The road will run across the channel at this point by means of a suspension bridge, and will continue on the peninsula to Bolsa Chica, traversing Bolsa, the Peat Lands, and swinging around to the county seat. Clams and fish are scarce, although the bay affords only mullet fishing on the Coast. Mullet are the best fish caught in these waters, but are difficult to land with the seine, hopping out of it when about to be hauled ashore. Clams used to be found by the wagonload, but some months ago several ambitious fishermen from Long Beach plowed up the beach in search of them, destroying the young clams, and since then these delicacies are scarce. Up the creek are fine beds of mussels and cockles, which are brought to town weekly. Meanwhile the ladies of the party had busied themselves in preparing coffee and setting luncheon. Such a feast the Landing never saw. And such a hungry crowd! Cold boiled ham, chicken, shrimp salad, baked beans and a wealth of other good things were made to disappear in the most approved fashion. After lunch several hours were spent upon the beach. A fresh breeze blew across the waters, making existence a rare delight. A number of frolicsome lads sported about in the water, enjoying the fine bathing. The homeward journey was begun at 4:30, not, however, before giving attention to a kettle of freshly prepared coffee and lunch table. Through pter beet fields the homeward journey lay. Each field seems to vie with other in putting forth the greenest growth. For the most part, stands are perfect, but here and there occasional light patches are noticeable. At Benedict Uncle Jake stops the mules to show the party a patch of beets he will put against any in the country. He has sixty acres altogether, and finer fields would be difficult to find. At dusk the party returned to their homes, all of them under many obligations to Uncle Jake for the delightful outing. Watch our corner window for special sales. CHAS. FEDERMEN. Death of Mr. Meyerholz. C. Meyerholz, father of Mrs. H.Cahen of this city, died at his home in Santa Clara, on Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock as a result of a stroke of apo- Why don't you people get along in a neighborly way?

Why don't you go to the waste gate and turn the water out when you are through with it, instead of bothering the board with this neighborhood quarrel? Crowther—We shall have to be careful in future how we close up ditches, if stockholders, after being done a favor by, threaten to make trouble when other shareholders ask for their rights. Pierroti moved that the prayer of petitioners that the ditch be reopened be granted, and that they do so and maintain it at their own expense. Seconded by Steward. Motion lost, Sherwood, Smith and Adams voting against it; Pierroti and Steward in the affirmative. Mr. Sherwood reported in the matter of the cement ditch objected to by C.S. Miles as being ten feet too far upon his land, that a survey run from the section corner at Spadra road showed a difference of six feet and more between the measured distance and that given on the map. The ditch was improperly placed by reason of imperfect corners, and was constructed before a right-of-way was secured on the assurance that Miles, who was then East, desired the ditch and would execute a deed on his return. This he declined on his arrival to do, and some time ago ordered it removed. Sherwood, who surveyed the ditch, admitted that by reason of a faulty corner post, from which he took his start, the ditch is several feet upon Miles' land. The matter was continued to give him an opportunity of consulting the recorded map in Los Angeles. Mr. Adams reported that a deed procured by Mr. Nutt for a ditch at Nutwood was faulty, because it read "the north ten feet" instead of the south ten feet of land dedicated to that purpose. The railroad embankment at this point makes the land deeded impracticable for purposes of ditch construction. The deed was referred back to Mr. Nutt for geographical correction, and on motion of Adams, petitioners for the ditch will be required to build it before the company will assume control of it. Adams moved that the petition of H. picked up one or two eggs from a box containing them in his conveyance, and hurled them at the party. It is believed he threw two eggs. They struck the dresses of two little girls, ruining them, and seriously interfering with the pleasure of the day. To add to the infamy, the Westminster blacksmith seemed to enjoy the little girls' predicament, and has come in for severe condemnation for his act. As for the man who threw the eggs, a term on the rock pile should teach him better manners. After the interruption the children continued on the way to the seashore, where the day was passed pleasantly and the untoward incident for the time forgotten. The good people of Westminster do not approve of these things. The name of the egg thrower should be ascertained that he may be punished. Off for Santa Cruz. Company E boarded the afternoon north-bound Santa Fe train on Friday for the State encampment at Santa Cruz. It occupied a special car which had been sidetracked for that purpose. Aboard the train were the Santa Ana, San Diego and Riverside companies. There was much enthusiasm, and a large crowd were out to see the boys off. At the depot faucet, the girls filled the boy's canteens, which were passed through windows of the car, while a guard stood at the front and rear platform. The company made a fine showing, fifty men being in line. They stood in company front at the armory until shortly before train time. A large crowd of friends gathered about to bid them godspeed. When the boys marched to the depot the others fell in, and when the train pulled out of the station the girls waved their handkerchiefs in a parting good-bye. Rawson's Pacific Shows will give two performances in a tent on the lot east of the City Hall next Saturday afternoon and evening. The show consists of dogs and ponies, and vaudeville. Advance bills advertise it as the leading pavilion show of the Coast. It carries fifty performing animals, and presents a variety of refined acts in vaudeville. The company carries a band and will give a street parade at noon. Watch our corner window for special sales. Death of Mr. Meyerholz. C. Meyerholz, father of Mrs. H. Cahen of this city, died at his home in Santa Clara, on Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, as a result of a stroke of apoplexy sustained some days before. Mrs. Cahen repaired to his bedside immediately upon hearing of the attack, and was present at the end. At 1 o'clock on Friday the final stroke supervened. Restoratives were applied, and the sufferer rallied sufficiently to recognize those about him, calling them by name. He shook hands with all, fully realizing that death was near. He expired at 2 o'clock. The interment occurred on Sunday afternoon at 2. Deceased was aged 78 years at the time of his death. He had resided in Santa Clara since 1880, in which year he departed with his family from this section. He had been a resident of Anaheim and vicinity for some ten years, and was held in high esteem by those who knew him. He leaves a wife, son and four daughters, all grown, to mourn his loss. Opened the Reservoir Malicious persons some days ago raised the sluicegate of the reservoir on the Madame Modjeska ranch in Santiago canyon, liberating water stored from the winter rains. Serious damage is apprehended to vegetation, as the reservoir cannot be again filled before winter. Four Santa Ana boys, seen on the ranch at the time of the act, are suspected. Officers are after them. Beet Growers Stockholders of the Anaheim Beet Growers' association will meet at the weigh house, near the dump, at West Anaheim, on Saturday, July 6th, to elect a committee to manage the association's affairs during the ensuing year.

Claims He Was Eligible As School Trustee Despite the Fact That He Did Not Pay His Poll Tax Last Year Geo. W. Snyder of West Anaheim, who was an unsuccessful aspirant for school trustee at the recent election, states that a careful inspection of the codes does not reveal the alleged fact so industriously circulated on election day that non-payment of poll tax disqualifies one from holding office as school trustee. He adds that the statement was sprung on the eve of the election for mischievous purposes, and says the statement of his disqualification is a pure invention. Mr. Snyder admits that he did not pay his poll tax last year. He says he always pays his poll tax, but not being notified last year that it had not been paid, he permitted it to become delinquent. He intends paying it the first time he goes to Santa Ana. Snyder is not a tax payer in Orange county, but adds he has lived a blame-less life during his residence here, and says the only thing his opponent could bring against him in the heat of a contest was that he had not paid his poll tax one year during all the years he has resided here. He was surprised when he heard he had not paid it, the matter having slippery is memory. Relative to the statement made on the day of the school election to the effect that he had seen the letter from Vegley, setting forth that he had not paid his poll tax, and that he had admitted its authenticity, he says that is untrue, because he never saw the letter. He did not go home immediately thereafter, but went to the polls and voted. He says the election for school trustee did not turn upon the question of the retention or displacement of Prof. Bird as principal of the West Anaheim school. "I said to numerous patrons of the school, before election, that I was that sort of a man that I would not vote to retain any school teacher who did not give satisfaction to the patrons of the school. Relative to the charges about Bird, they must be made the subject for investigation. I cannot say whether there is any truth in them or not." "Did Kellogg say to you the day of the election: 'If that is true [referring to the charge said to have been made that non-payment of poll tax disqualified him from holding office as school trustee] we better go home?'" COMING FOURTH PROMISES A GREAT CELEBRATION Details Rapidly Shaping for the Greatest Blowout in the History of the County. All Fourth of July committees reported excellent progress to the executive committee on Tuesday evening. The committee on orator of the day reported the services of Bishop Montgomery had been secured just ahead of Los Angeles. That city will have a celebration on the Fourth, and Gov. Gage, being the first citizen of the State, was naturally chosen to deliver the oration. However his health would not permit of it, and the committee hurried to the Bishop to invite him to deliver the oration. He informed them that he had just accepted an invitation to address the people of Anaheim on that day. Whereat the average citizen of this community tosses his hat in the air, figuratively speaking, as he exclaims that Los Angeles might just as well forego its celebration and come to Anaheim and hear the Bishop and participate in the patriotic exercises of the day. A feature of the day will be the laying of the corner stone of the new high school by the masons of Fullerton and this city, assisted by grand officers of Los Angeles. The barbecue will be one of the principal features. Messrs. Yorba and Marquez have preparations well under way. At least one fat heifer will be roasted underground, in whole carcass, and it is possible each of the three beeves may be similarly treated. It is up to the barbecue committee to do as it pleases, but at least one whole carcass must be roasted whole, underground. All the beeve's heads will be cooked underground. Three hundred dollars has been appropriated for the feast, and 2000 pounds of meat will be provided. In a few days work upon the grandstand in the Dentsch park will begin. The committee on grounds have made a map of the premises, showing where grandstand, seats, tables for the barbecue, booths, etc., are located. A number of booths have already been rented, one of them by the ladies of the Catholic church, who will serve a Spanish dinner. Isaac Lyon has rented a $25 booth, and will do what he can to make things pleasant for the great crowd expected in town on that day. Letters pour in from all parts of the PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. M. F. Reagan was in the city yesterday from Los Alamitos visiting with friends. Otto Zeus came over from Duarte some days ago to spend a few days with relatives and friends. Henry Hussman made a business trip to Los Angeles on Monday, returning on the evening train. Mrs. Hatfield has returned from the session of the Grand Council Companions of the Forest, at San Francisco. Rev. G. Schroeder of Pasadena occupied Rev. Kohlenberger's pulpit at the German Methodist church last evening. Fred Middleham has been engaged to play his B flat cornet at the commencement exercises of the Fullerton high school tomorrow evening. C. Moran was in from Placentia some days ago, and reports that most beautiful spot in California more lovely and prosperous than ever. Mrs. Horace W. Smith, sister of Mr. Spooner of West Anaheim, returned some days ago from Cincinnati, after an absence of three months. Prof. Little and wife contemplate departing early in July for a two-month's visit to the Pan-American Exposition, at Buffalo, and other points East. F. L. Keith, formerly of this city, is lying at the point of death at Long Beach. He is suffering with fatty degeneration of the heart, and scant hope is held out for his recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Cayce have returned to their home in Santa Barbara, after a visit of some months with Mrs. Cayce's mother, Mrs. Polhemus at Miraflores. Mrs. Polhemus will spend the summer with her daughter at Santa Barbara. A. Pierotti some days ago submitted to a surgical operation for the removal part of the tissue of the right eye, where an abnormal growth was forming. The operation was successfully performed, and when in town Saturday Mr. Parotti seemed to be well on the way to complete recovery. F. G. Athearn of this city and Prof. J.B. Nichols of Santa Ana have been appointed members of the County Board of Education by the Supervisors, to fill vacancies created by the expiration on the terms of Miss Mary C. Bray of Fullerton and Lewis Grubb of Orange. Mr. Crowther of Placentia is wearing a face wreathed in smiles nowadays. He expects a walnut crop of between 50 and 60 tons, which ought to go better than $10,000. Last year his tree beach the party ran across back, who placed them unsuitable for many courtesies.

The postoffice at Los Alamitos was robbed at noon on Saturday of money to the amount of $288 by two expert robbers. Postmaster Parker had just left the office for lunch, leaving the place in charge of Harry Roberts, his assistant, when two men drove up in a buggy. One of the men alighted from the vehicle and entered the postoffice, while the other drove the buggy to a railroad track opposite and hitch the horse. The first man asked Roberts for a box, from which he might feed the horse. Roberts took him into the rear yard, where a number of boxes were stored. "I said to numerous patrons of the school, before election, that I was that sort of a man that I would not vote to retain any school teacher who did not give satisfaction to the patrons of the school. Relative to the charges about Bird, they must be made the subject for investigation. I cannot say whether there is any truth in them or not." "Did Kellogg say to you the day of the election: 'If that is true [referring to the charge said to have been made that non-payment of poll tax disqualified him from holding office as school trustee] we had better go home?'" "Kellogg said that, but I was surprised to learn I had not paid my poll tax. I had always paid it. I did not agree with his conclusion, and I now say there is no such provision in the law. You can quote me to that effect." "What do you know about the story concerning Bird's whipping three big boys, and when he found his mistake, asking them to retaliate by thrashing him? He says the story is not true. Darling says he will produce witnesses to prove it is so." "I know nothing about the truthfulness of the story. I have heard it. But I do not care to say anything for publication upon that score." Bird filed an application for re-appointment as principal of the West School. Trustee Darling said the other day he hoped Bird would not apply for the job. The school trustees meet early in July to select the new corps of teachers. The session will probably be one of interest. Turners. The ladies of the Turner Sisterhood did themselves proud on Sunday evening, when they presented a beautiful silk banner, suitably inscribed, to the members of the Turn Verein, who leave tomorrow for San Diego to attend the Kreis Turn Fest, to be participated in by Turners from Vereins from different portions of the State. The evening was very pleasantly spent, the musical program being thoroughly enjoyed. The members of the Anaheim Verein who will compete in the athletic exercises are Johnny Haberfellner, Joe Backs, Fritz Yungbluth and Frank Arnold. The boys have been in active training for many weeks past, and all hands look to them to give an excellent account of themselves. Turner Haberfellner announces the Turners will leave on the 9:50 a.m. train tomorrow. Postoffice Robbed. The postoffice at Los Alamitos was robbed at noon on Saturday of money to the amount of $288 by two expert robbers.

The oil-well boys are coming in with a float representing an oil-driller's outfit. District Attorney Williams has been directed by the Supervisors to begin an action in the Superior Court to recover $263.50,the amount expended by the Board of Horticultural Commissioners in fumigating an orange orchard near Orange owned by Eastern parties. For several years the place has been neglected,and the scale was permitted to get a strong foildoht.
