MR. PENDLETON HELD TO BE GUILTLESS Technical Violation of Water Company's Rules. Which Provoked a Deal of Discussion. A. T. Pendleton of Placentia appeared before the water board at its meeting on Saturday afternoon, in answer to a charge by Supt. Woodward that he had tampered with a gate in the ditch while irrigating on July 4th. Mr. Pendleton said it was a very unpleasant task for him to appear before the board on such a charge, especially when there was so little truth in it. The charge, he said, was a malicious act on the part of the Superintendent. The letter of the charge, he admitted, was correct; the spirit was not. On the 4th of July he was irrigating, when his stream failed one-half or more, and later almost entirely ceased. He went up the ditch to see if it had been clogged with weeds; but, finding none, he removed an inch-and-a-quarter board from the gate, which sustained a stream of 25 inches, when he should have received 100. The next day he informed Zanjero Rogers, who ran down 75 inches to him to make good the amount lost the previous day. Although Supt. Woodward had been informed of his (Pendleton's) act, he did not report the matter to the board until a month or more after its occurrence. Pendleton said he could prove this act was a malicious one on the part of Woodward, when Mr. Steward offered an objection, saying the board was not interested in a recital of the differences between the two gentlemen. On motion of Steward, seconded by Smith, Pendleton was requested to confine himself to the question at issue. That gentleman thereupon said he had finished. He admitted removing the inch-and-a-quarter board from the gate, knowing that by so doing he would injure no one. He had reported his act promptly to the zanjero, who made up the stream to him the next day. There was no intention on his part resembling theft of water. The money consideration was as nothing to him; it was a matter of honor. Steward said the question was whether Pendleton had lifted the gate, no matter upon what purpose. This having...

He had reported his act promptly to the zanjero, who made up the stream to him the next day. There was no intention on his part resembling theft of water. The money consideration was as nothing to him; it was a matter of honor. Steward said the question was whether Pendleton had lifted the gate, no matter upon what pretense. This having been admitted by him, he favored enforcing the by-laws, which impose a fine for so doing. He added the zanjero had reported he had gone up the ditch three times on the day in question, and had each time found a full stream of water. To this Pendleton replied the zanjero had reported falsely. Mr. Sherwood said that, while he was opposed to tampering with water-gates, nevertheless, the spirit of the present case should be taken into consideration, and moved the matter lay upon the table. Seconded by Pierotti. Mr. Adams thought the action of the Superintendent should be upheld by the board. The company was making an especial effort to suppress tampering with ditches, and he believed the rules against such action should be enforced. After a further lengthy discussion, the board adopted the following resolution, which was moved by Pierotti, seconded by Steward; WHEREAS, It appears from the evidence that Mr. Pendleton, while technically guilty of the charge preferred against him, of tampering with a water-gate, did not intend any such violation, and that no loss or damage was suffered either by the company or any irrigator; and, WHEREAS, We approve the action of the Superintendent and zanjero in reporting the facts of Mr. Pendleton's action; and, WHEREAS, The board desires to convey to every stockholder its determination to hereafter hold to strictest accountability every violator of the rules or by-laws of the company; therefore, be it Resolved, That no further action be taken in the matter of said charges against Mr. Pendleton. Mr. Adams voted "No." Sherwood (to Bradford)—By the way, what did you do with your measuring-gate—put it on exhibition at Buffalo? Bradford—No; I found it was a dead letter, and I took it home. I had it in here twice; but the board didn't seem to favor an accurate measurement of water. Bradford reported that W. T. Brown of Fullerton desired to handle all cement for the company, agreeing to charge what it cost him, with an additional charge of 5 cents per barrel. Brown would store it in his warehouse and pay the insurance, which expense, he estimated, would come to 21 cents per barrel. He asked this because it would give him the prestige of being a large shipper, and he could thus obtain better rates from the railroad. He claimed it would be cheaper for the company to Smith, Pendleton was requested to confine himself to the question at issue. That gentleman thereupon said he had finished.

Brown of Fullerton desired to handle all cement for the company, agreeing to charge what it cost him, with an additional charge of 5 cents per barrel. Brown would store it in his warehouse and pay the insurance, which expense, he estimated, would come to 24 cents per barrel. He asked this because it would give him the prestige of being a large shipper, and he could thus obtain better rates from the railroad. He claimed it would be cheaper for the company to have him handle it than the way it is now being done. Pierott—What he wants is to stop outside purchasers (stockholders of the company) from purchasing cement from us at cost. He wants their trade. Crowther—Let us transact our own business, and not have it done by outsiders. I don't think there is a man on the board who favors this proposition. The matter was dropped with a thud. Bradford reported that the Carbon Canyon Oil company had 50 to 100 inches of water to dispose of, and wanted to sell it to the company. They had bored for oil on the Koster place, and had struck water. It was an artesian flow, but was so full of alkali they could not use it in their boilers. Crowther—We don't want it at any price. The Boisserano and Tousseau leases were ordered renewed for one year. Steward reported that the charge made some days ago that men were chopping wood on the Durkee ranch, was not true. Sherwood, reporting for the Finance committee, objected to the bills of Engineers Sanders ($255.50), Trask ($213.90) and Kellogg ($300.44), as being unwarranted by their contracts. After explanations by Attorney Melrose, the bills were allowed. The same bills have been allowed by the Santa Ana company, the work having been done on joint account in the suit against Newberry. The bills are apportioned one-half to each company. Mr. McFadden was given permission to operate a walnut-scourer in the ditch in front of his place at Placentia. Supt. Woodward reported as follows: ANAHEIM, Cal., Sept. 7, 1901. To the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company: GENTLEMEN: — The company's ex- Sproul started for his home immediately after the stabbing. Officers went after him, and found him hiding in a rear room of his house. He was placed under arrest, and is now in the county jail. Lutz was buried at Orange on Sunday. Sproul was arraigned in the Superior Court on Tuesday on a charge of murder. Broke His Leg. Ed Zeus, while wrestling with Murray Paschall in the corral in rear of his barn on Friday afternoon, had the misfortune to fall and break both bones at the ankle of the left leg. He was carried into the office and physicians hastily summoned. Drs. Johnson and Wilson responded immediately. The patient was placed under the influence of an anesthetic and the broken bones set. He was later conveyed to his residence, where he continues to improve. The breaks are bad ones, and Ed will be laid up for several weeks. Jack Hunter was in town from Fullerton on Tuesday. He says that in the event of the incorporation of that town into a municipality at the approaching election, residents of the outside territory will probably ask the supervisors to form a new voting precinct. Paul Kluss is in San Bernardino on a short business trip. Frank Stone and Dominick Leib are conducting his place of business for him.

Dickel moved that the services of City Attorney Chynoweth terminate after the first of next month, he to be still retained as counsel in the Plaza suit. Seconded by Trustee Fay. On roll call, the motion carried, Dickel, Fay and Weisel voting aye; Helmsen and Schneider, no. The matter of procuring a new flagpole for the City Hall, was left to the Marshal; Schneider said there were three sections of 10-inch well-pipe at the powerhouse, 15 feet long, which had been cut off the wells at the time of deepening the pit. One or two parties had spoken to him, desiring to purchase them for smoke-stacks for chile-houses. Helmsen said the city could use them for drain-pipes. The Public Improvements committee was delegated authority to investigate the cost of asphaltum pipe, as compared with what can procured for the well-pipe, and report. The matter of procuring a clock for the City Hall was left to the same committee. Bills to the amount of $805.88 were audited and ordered paid. Local Dots.

Mr. Katy came down from Los Angles to Yorba the other day. He had a brand new rifle which could shoot a hole through the biggest piece of iron you ever saw. He showed the rifle to young Bayha, behind his father's winery. They put up a ploughshare some distance off, and the man from Los Angeles was going to show the Yorba man how to blow it full of holes. After the range had been adjusted, Bayha stepped back to see the deadly execution. The Los Angeles man leveled his fowling piece and took deliberate and deadly aim and fired. It was a case of an irresistible force meeting an immovable object. The man from Los Angeles had selected a soft-nosed bullet. It struck the ploughshare with a dull resounding thwack, flattened out, split in two, and proceeded to bound backward. Bayha was surprised at being struck with a piece of it in the right temple. The missel ploughed its way under the scalp to the back of the head. The other piece struck the Los Angeles man in the leg, inflicting a painful wound. Bayha's wound is serious. Dr. Johnston was sent for and attended to the wants of the injured men. Both will get well. LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST Dr. Johnston's Purchase. Dr. H. A. Johnston has purchased the residence recently occupied by E. P. Fowler, and will move into it. He will maintain it as a sanitarium to accommodate his constantly increasing practice. Bulletins.

Walker, sworn to last week by Pickett of East Anaheim, was on Thursday morning dismissed, on motion of plaintiff, in Justice Shanley's court. The young man had been arrested the preceding Tuesday, charged with assaulting Mrs. Belle Pickett. He was remanded to jail by Judge Shanley, the many extravagant reports current concerning the affair leading the Judge to believe that the lady had been badly injured. It developed on Wednesday that Mrs. Pickett was not injured at all by the young student, who was advised by his friends to bring a suit for damages against her. Subsequent to asking that the suit be dismissed, Pickett, learning of Walker's intention to sue him and his wife for damages, asked Judge Shanley to re-open the case; but this the Judge refused to do, saying the case had been finally dismissed on his docket. Walker talked of a suit for damages, but on Tuesday of this week all parties met at Santa Ana and adjusted their differences satisfactorily to all sides. It is believed Walker was paid a small sum of money to reimburse him for the indignity of being placed in jail. In conversation with a reporter of this journal, Walker acknowledged making an untruthful statement previous to our last issue, when he informed us he had been out of jail only an hour and a half when Parson Pratt and his congregation went to the calaboose to sing songs of praise and pray for him. He admitted being taken out of jail by Constable Kuebler, and being out all night. He added the reason he spoke untruthfully regarding his incarceration was that the officer did not wish it to be generally known that he was out, when the Judge had remanded him to jail for the night. Walker was badly frightened during his detention, but we hope he will go and sin no more. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. For the Week Ending September 7, 1901 PERSONAL MENTION.

Peter Weisel advertises this morning that he desires to purchase tomatoes for canning purposes, and will pay the highest price for them.

Bob Raines, one of the best known oil men in Southern California, has instituted suit against his wife for divorce. Bob is head driller for the Puente company, and has been at work on the night shift, going off at 6 o'clock in the morning. Some mornings ago he returned home unexpectedly at 3, and found, so it is said, another young driller usurping his bed. The young Lothario is said to have bundled up his belongings when the footfall of the injured husband was heard at the door and, crawling under the bed, awaited a favorable opportunity of making his exit. Here he remained for four hours before discovered by Raines, who, when he found the man under the bed, was on the point of wreaking dire vengeance upon him. The result of the whole matter is that Raines has applied for divorce. Married At Red Bluff, Cal., Monday, August 26th, J. R. Lyle of Sissons, Cal., and Miss Ilamay Lyle of Red Bluff.
