HIGH-SCHOOL BUILDING APPROACHES COMPLETION Will Be Ready for Opening During the Coming Week—Substantial Structure. With All Modern Improvements. Anaheim's high-school building is almost ready for occupancy. Painters are at work giving the finishing touches to the interior, and chairs, desks and other furniture and apparatus have arrived and been stored in the building. The schoolhouse is a handsome building, of the Moorish style of architecture, one-story and basement, brick-veneered, with tile roofing. The dimensions are 114 feet front, by 98 feet in depth. The ceiling of the corridor and assembly rooms is 20 feet in the clear. It is 45 feet to the roof, and to the top of the flagstaff, 67 feet. The main entrance is 9 feet wide, with a handsome stone arch over the stairway. Entering the building, one finds himself in a spacious corridor, or art gallery, 26x32 feet. To the right is the library, 12x22. To the left is the principal's room, of similar dimensions, provided with all modern conveniences. On either side of the corridor are classrooms, 28 feet square, facing the front. Each is provided with 7 large windows, over which are as many transoms, furnishing what is termed the "rear-bank" light. Around the walls runs the litho-blackboard, green in color, fitted with chalk-trough, which at intervals contains galvanized-iron drawers to catch the chalk dust. The interior is of Oregon pine, finished in natural wood. On each side of the main corridor is a cloakroom, 11x20 each. The corridor opens into the assembly room, which is 30x45. On either side are classrooms, 28x32, fitted as are those in the front part of the building. A laboratory, 24x32, joins one of the rear classrooms. It will be fitted with 5 laboratory desks, 2 glass cases, and has an adjoining chemical storeroom, 7x14. On each side of the assembly hall are stairways running to the basement, as well as others extending outside. In the southwest corner of the building is the business room, 28x32 feet. In the basement are closets and washrooms for boys and girls situated in CITY LOSES PLAZA CASE Supreme Court Affirms Decision of Judge Ballard in Langenberger Case. The Supreme Court on Friday affirmed the decision of Judge Ballard of the Orange County Superior Court in the case of the City of Anaheim vs. Mrs. C. Langenberger, wherein the municipality sought to recover possession of property at the corner of Center and Palm streets. Suit was brought in July, 1899. The city based its contention upon the fact that, in 1869, A. Langenberger filed a map of property at the corner of the two streets named, 110x150 feet, designating the same as a "plaza," and dedicating it to the city. Mrs. Langenberger contended that the filing of the map and dedication was not sufficient to dispossess her of her rights. She maintained there had been no legal acceptance of the "plaza" by the city, or that the property in question had ever been used as a plaza. There were other contentions on her part, one of them being that all the parties in interest had not agreed to the dedication of the property as a "plaza." She had paid taxes upon the property for thirty years, as had the other owners, and had improved it. The city introduced evidence showing that Langenberger, in the early 70's, had sold lots near the "plaza," thus maintaining that the same had been duly dedicated to the uses of the public. Trial of the case was had in the Superior Court April 11, 1900. A stipulation was filed that such judgment as might be finally made by the Supreme Court in the Langenberger case should apply to each of the three other property owners affected. Judge Ballard promptly gave judgment in favor of Mrs. Langenberger. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, which, as stated, on Friday affirmed the decision of the lower court. The city was represented by H. W. Chynoweth. Mrs. Langenberger's attorneys were Judge John D. Pope of Los Angeles and Richard Melrose of this city. The suit has cost the city about $500. The property thus successfully defended by Mrs. Langenberger was some years ago sold to the Catholic church. On the occasion of Bishop Montgomery's visit to the city last summer he stated the church desired FINE WRITING ABOUT ANAHEIM Los Angeles Weekly Prints Real Nice Things About Us in the Paper. Anaheim has had a "write up" in a Los Angeles weekly newspaper, which maintained a correspondent here several days last week extending the glad hand to everybody. Some country newspapers make a great to-do over this class of paid articles, but we are different. We publish an extract from the special edition to show what a fine writer the correspondent is: Who has not heard of Anaheim, the substantial little city with a population of 2500, just one hour's ride from Los Angeles—a distance of 27 miles. Anaheim is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, twelve miles from the Pacific Ocean and four and a half miles from the foothills. Ranking with other California towns in beauty and industries, and being quickly reached from Los Angeles via the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific, it is catalogued on the tourists' sight-seeing list as a point of interest. Another rapid-transit line will be built to Anaheim soon, for which the InterUrban Electric Railway Company has a franchise. More than forty years ago the historic town of Anaheim was founded by a German colony from San Francisco, who, after their own heart, lived to themselves and devoted time to viticulture and horticulture. Substantial buildings were erected and Anaheim grew on a solid foundation of labor and perseverance mingled with exclusiveness. This good old colony could not last forever, and as the ranks were thinned Californian and eastern business men of tact, energy and progress filled the gaps. Today very few of the colony remain to see the fruits of their pioneer work and tenacity of purpose. Immediately after reaching Anaheim by rail you are given a two minutes' free ride from the depot to the New Commercial Hotel in a handsome turnout owned by the City Livery Stables, of which Oscar W. Warling and Ed. A. Zeus are proprietors. They take care of the tourists and traveling men who desire to see sights pleasing to the eye. Upon your arrival at the New Commercial Hotel, you are pleasantly greeted by A. E. Boothe, the affable proprietor, who looks after your convenience. The corridor opens into the assembly room, which is 30x45. On either side are classrooms, 28x32, fitted as are those in the front part of the building. A laboratory, 24x32, joins one of the rear classrooms. It will be fitted with 5 laboratory desks, 2 glass cases, and has an adjoining chemical storeroom, 7x14. On each side of the assembly hall are stairways running to the basement, as well as others extending outside. In the southwest corner of the building is the business room, 28x32 feet. In the basement are closets and washrooms for boys and girls, situated on different sides of the building. Running around the wall are 96 bicycle racks, and 110 lockers are provided for students to store lunches, clothing, etc. Lunchrooms for boys and girls are provided, fitted with tables and benches. The basement contains also the janitor's rooms, as well as storerooms for various purposes. A gas machine, for use in laboratory work, has been installed. The basement will contain heaters for supplying warmth to the building. Reels of hose are near at hand. McWilliams and Dunn were the contractors, and have done an excellent job. The building is one of the most substantial in the county as well as one of the handsomest. C. Schindler did the brick and foundation work, and Tommy Diedrick and Elmer Ford are putting in the finishing touches in painting. News About Beets. Uncle Jake Everhardy has received his final returns of his beet crop from the Chino sugar factory, and has the honor of claiming that three acres in his patch at Benedict beat the record for tonnage and monetary returns. From them he gathered 95 tons 550 pounds, more than 30 tons per acre, and received payment therefor $392. They were high in percentage of sugar. Uncle Jake had 55 acres in beets at Benedict and Los Alamitos, but does not claim the entire acreage came up to the record established by the three acres last harvested at Benedict. Uncle Jake cites an interesting circumstance as showing the neighborly feeling subsisting between beet-farmers. The day before the factory was to shut down found one farmer with 150 tons in the field, and with slim prospects of delivering them. This meant ruination to him. His neighbors had hauled in all their beets, and when they heard of his plight, they resolved to come to his assistance. Before daylight next morning the roads were lined with beet wagons, driven by the neighbors, who had come to help him in his trouble. Such harvesting was never seen on that ranch. The neighbors worked with a will, and by nightfall, when the hoarse factory whistle sounded the final shutdown for the season, the beets were all in. Those are the kind of neighbors to have. Back from Missouri. Oscar Acree and Nick Osborne, accompanied by their wives and families, have returned from Missouri, after an ment in favor of Mrs. Langenberger. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, which, as stated, on Friday affirmed the decision of the lower court. The city was represented by H. W. Chynoweth. Mrs. Langenberger's attorneys were Judge John D. Pope of Los Angeles and Richard Melrose of this city. The suit has cost the city about $500. The property thus successfully defended by Mrs. Langenberger was some years ago sold to the Catholic church. On the occasion of Bishop Montgomery's visit to the city last summer he stated the church desired to erect a new house of worship on the property. Members of the church have been talking for some time past of erecting a substantial brick edifice. Probably work upon the building will begin in the near future. WAS IN THE WRECK. Dick Zerman's uncle, J. S. Zerman, of Mill Valley, was a passenger on the ill-fated ferry-boat San Rafael, which collided with the ferry-boat Sausalito in San Francisco bay on Saturday night. So far as known only three lives were lost, although hundreds had what is considered a providential escape from death. Zerman was interviewed by a San Francisco paper the day following the collision, and spoke of it as follows: I was on the San Rafael, leaving the city about 6:30. After starting everybody noticed the dense fog. The whistles were blowing all the time. It appeared to many that something would happen. As we were nearing Alcatraz the Sausalito crashed into the San Rafael, hurting a number of people. I walked upstairs but did not think there was any immediate danger of her going down. Meanwhile I grabbed a life-preserver and strapped it about me. I then went downstairs again and, hearing the shrieking of the women caused me to put on another life-preserver. I then got in a boat and was lowered. After getting down safely to the water the boat upset, throwing about twelve of us into the water. A line was thrown to me and I grabbed it, but just then some fellow shrieked at me to let go. I let go for a second but again grabbed the rope. The second mate pulled me up after swimming about for fifteen minutes. I saw a number in the water about me and I feel sure that some went down. It was a fearful moment for me.

ITEMS ROUNDABOUT TOWN THEY NEVER SPEAK. Mayor Ey was over from Santa Ana on Tuesday afternoon. There was some talk about Flint at the county seat on the occasion of the recent courthouse celebration, he says, while Weeping Willie Bowers and Raggedy Wickham were present, but the Mayor thinks there will be a scramble to get in the red band wagon before long. While in San Francisco attending the Anti-Chinese Convention he ran across Linn Shaw estray on Market street without a chaperon. Shaw was in the city to buy a new press, which passed through Anaheim in a four-horse team the other morning. On the occasion of the courthouse festivities Frank espied Jim McFadden going into the Rossmore dining-room, where Bowers spoke of the San Benito boy as "the next Governor of California," and he said to him: "Well, how yer getting along, Jim?" "Just the same as any other day," replied McFadden, as he walked along. That was the first time Jim and Frank spoke since the election last spring when Frank beat Jim's man for town trustee. Now Frank's name is being talked about for the assembly. He does not know whether he will consent, because no man ever went to Sacramento and came back but was branded as a thief or was the real article. That's what he says. Looks Suspicious. Billy Ahlborn came into the sanctum the other day, hat in hand, and making his politest bow, said: "Will you please announce——" "That you are going to be married?" broke in the society reporter. "Not so bad as that," he replied, blushing a pale pink, "but we are go-ing——" "To run for town trustee on the high license ticket?" asked his Satanic Majesty from the depths of the composing room. "No, not that either, said Wilhelm with a groan, 'but the Turners are going to have a Christmas tree——' "And you want me to Santa Claus," broke in the exchange editor. "You have another guess coming, but we want you to announce it in the paper." And he made his escape before we Closing-Out Sale of Ladies Toys! OUR SHOW IS NOW COMPLETE.

New Restaurant. Chauncey Huggans has rented the Bennerscheldt brick building on Center street, taking a three years’ lease, and will occupy it in the near future with an up-to-date restaurant and bottling works, which are at present maintained at Fullerton.

His hotel and restaurant at Fullerton has been known far and wide as one of the best in Southern California, and his restaurant here will be fully up to that high standard. The bottling works and ice warehouse will be also moved to Anaheim and conducted here. These works give employment to eight people. Men are at work cleaning up the premises, and Huggans may be on hand to open up with a grand Christmas dinner. Anaheim holds out the glad hand to Mr. Huggans and his enterprise! Sure! Turners. The Turners’ entertainment, which was to have taken place on Saturday evening, has been postponed to the evening of Christmas day, December 25th.

When the occupants of the store ran up stairs they found him weltering in his own blood, his brains being spattered about the room. He had placed the weapon under his chin,and had in some manner pulled the trigger.

Coroner Clark was notified and held an inquiry.The jury returned a verdict of suicide.The remains were interred in the Anaheim cemetery yesterday afternoon.Bennett had for years imagined that he was shadowed by officers for a crime committed in Texas canyon where he had been prospecting.No suspicion attached to him,但 being of a morose and moody turn of mind,the tragedy so preyd upon him that it finally ended in his self-destruction.
