COLIE TRAVIS' KICK, AND WHAT CAME OF IT Object to Water Company Running Waste Water Across His Wife's Land at Yorba, and Threatens Suit for Damages. The Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company held their last meeting previous to the annual assembling of stockholders on Saturday afternoon. The Ditch Committee reported on the application of Wesley Almes and others, for the cementing of a ditch on the east side of Placentia avenue, that there was not sufficient stock located on the proposed ditch to justify cementing it, and consequently recommended petition be denied. The company now operates a cement ditch on the west side of the avenue, and two on one thoroughfare is too rich for its blood. After inspecting the location of two proposed new gates, as applied for by Mr. Teale on Orangethorpe avenue, the committee turned down his application, he having two for his eighteen acres, and the company's rule limiting one gate to every ten acres. Application of J. J. Schneider for cementing ditch on Palm street, between Sycamore and North, was "heartily recommended," and the same ordered done, under supervision of the superintendent. The ditch is to be of 500 inches capacity. It is the main feeder to Westside irrigators, and will probably be cemented in the near future as far west as Alex Henry's, a distance of two miles. The committee's report was approved and ordered to the file. Mr. Pierotti reported work on cleaning Tuffree reservoir was progressing slowly. Tules are being sluiced out with water and hauled out by team. The work is costing more than engineer's estimates. Mr. Bradford reported upon progress of work on upper ditch. Tunnel excavation had been completed, and forms ready and gravel on ground ready to begin cementing of another section of ditch. The tunnel he pronounced a "very nice job." Contractor Damron, he reported, had advised him of his inability to take on new contracts for cementing 800 feet of ditch, and he (Bradford) suggested that Miller be awarded contract, that gentleman agreeing to take the work at less rates than Damron's. The board ordered contract drawn with Engineer to make plans and estimate of cost. The following letter was read from Mr. Chapman: TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE ANAHEIM UNION WATER CO.—Gentlemen: I respectfully request you to cover the company's cement ditch running across Northam avenue at E. K. Benchley's place; and also the south portion of that crossing the road at Mrs. Des Granges' corner, and the one across Northam avenue at Placentia avenue. Several thousands of dollars have been expended in the improvement of this road, and it is necessary in order to properly prepare the bicycle path and prevent accidents to have ditches covered. Trusting that this request will meet with your favor, I am respectfully yours, CHAS. C. CHAPMAN. Pierotti—If the money spent on bicycle paths was expended on streets and roads, I think the people would be better off. This bicycle path is grown up to weeds anyhow. Sherwood thought the request ought to be complied with. He moved the superintendent be instructed to cover the ditch at points indicated, and also to keep the side of ditch hoof of weeds for a space of 18 inches Carried. Secretary Krick said the half yearly interest on Darkee's note was due January 23d. Amount of principal, $60,000. Half year's interest, $2400. Company's share (one-half) $1200. Rebate on account of payment of taxes, $900, leaving balance of $300 to pay. Warrant ordered drawn in payment of same. Engineer Kellogg submitted estimates on work done on Cajon canal, finding $426.24 due contractor. The tunnel he pronounced the best piece of work in Southern California. Kellogg showed up with his hair cut and his Galway whiskers trimmed. But he ought to put the mower on again and reduce them at least 40 per cent. We'll make a good looking kid out of Kellogg yet. Bill of A. J. Sanders for $129 for inspector of work on Cajon canal, at $3 per day; 43 days. Ordered paid. Transfer of six shares of stock from A. R. Eddis to J. A. Clark. Granted. The following letter was read from Lawyer Keech of Santa Ana: SANTA ANA, Jan. 13, 1902. RICHARD MELROSE, ESQ., Anaheim, Cal.—Dear Sir: J. C. Travis brings to my attention the fact that the A. U. W. Co. has been dropping water from its upper to its lower ditch across the land of his wife, formerly Zoralda B. Yorba, without license or right from her. It not only does damage to her land, but such open conduit divides her holding into two parts and prevents access from one to the other. And this mend a location for a pumping-plant without further examination, although it seems probable that any location near enough to the river to allow of the annual saturation of the gravel strata with the flood water in winter, and at the same time adjacent to the Anaheim canal, will be found suitable, the controlling feature being the possibility of obtaining land at a reasonable figure. It is also probable that good wells may be obtained anywhere between Leonard Parker's and Santa Ana street, which would furnish a more or less permanent supply. A Mr. Berg has a well about one quarter of a mile east from the end of Santa Ana street, from which he pumps 50 inches of water from a depth of about 70 feet. Your committee has not considered the matter of the cost of a suitable plant or plants, and as this is a matter well understood in this locality it is perhaps unnecessary at the present time. The committee were greatly hampered in their investigations by the lack of a suitable map. Your committee concludes that a large amount of water may be developed at a reasonable cost in the localities examined, and conveyed to consumers in the existing ditches of the company. G. W. SHERWOOD, H. L. SMITH, L. B. STEWARD, Committee. DEATH OF CARL AUGUST LORENZ One of the Earliest of Anaheim's Pioneers Passes Away at a Ripe Old Age. Carl August Lorenz died at his home, corner of Lemon and Santa Ana streets, at 5 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. He succumbed to the infirmities due to old age. He was aged 85 years and 1 month. He was a native of Kroessen, Germany, and had resided in Anaheim since October, 1859. He lived eight years in Chille and came hither with his family when the Mother Colony was first laid out. The funeral occurred on Tuesday afternoon. A large concourse of sorrowing friends followed the remains to their last resting place. The pall bearers were J. P. Zeyn, F. Shanley, F. A. Korn, H.Kroeger, Wm.Koenig, C.Pressel. Mr. Lorenz was esteemed as a man of sterling worth by those who knew him, and his death is regretted by all. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Louisa Boege of this city, and Mrs.Willhelmina Dorr of Los Angeles, to mourn his loss. Mr. Bradford reported upon progress of work on upper ditch. Tunnel excavation had been completed, and forms ready and gravel on ground ready to begin cementing of another section of ditch. The tunnel he pronounced a "very nice job." Contractor Damron, he reported, had advised him of his inability to take on new contracts for cementing 800 feet of ditch, and he (Bradford) suggested that Miller be awarded contract, that gentleman agreeing to take the work at less rates than Damron's. The board ordered contract drawn with Miller, work to begin as soon as same is signed up. Secretary Krick read the following annual report of Committee of Management of Durkee ranch: ANAHEIM, Cal., Dec. 29, 1901. TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE S. A. V. I. CO. AND THE A. U. W. Co.-Gentlemen: Your committee of management of the Durkee ranch make the following report for the year 1901: Cash on hand Jan. 1, 1901. RECEIPTS.

McPherson, L. B. STEWARD, Committee of Management. Krick—The report tallies with my figures—all but two cents. There was a difference of a cent at beginning of year, and another cent has crept in in some mysterious manner. You know you cannot divide odd figures evenly, and as fractions of cents are not counted I presume the difference originated in that way. The report was accepted and filed and the committee discharged. Mr. Sherwood submitted the original draft of agreement with Col. J. K. Tuffree, relating to his "management and control" of the reservoir bearing his name. The company recently changed the line of its ditch emptying into the reservoir, taking it from Tuffree's land and placing it upon the adjoining property, because of better grade and location. Tuffree desired an agreement that the change did not impair his "management and control" of the reservoir. The board at a previous meeting interpolated lines to which Tuffree took exception. It maintains he has no "management and control" of its specter of work on Cajon canal, at no per day; 43 days. Ordered paid. Transfer of six shares of stock from A. R. Eddis to J. A. Clark. Granted. The following letter was read from Lawyer Keech of Santa Ana: SANTA ANA, Jan. 13, 1902. RICHARD MELROSE, ESQ., Anaheim, Cal.-Dear Sir: J. C. Travis brings to my attention the fact that the A. U. W. Co. has been dropping water from its upper to its lower ditch across the land of his wife, formerly Zoralda B. Yorba, without license or right from her. It not only does damage to her land, but such open conduit divides her holding into two parts and prevents access from one to the other. And this is to notify the company through you that, unless practice is stopped or some practical arrangement made, an action will be brought to enjoin its continuance. We do not anticipate any lawsuit, but Mrs. Travis cannot safely allow the matter to continue indefinitely. Please report to the company and have the matter attended to. Yours truly, E. E. KEECH. Crowther-Is that the man we paid the commission to for negotiating the sale of Yorba reservoir site? It was. Kellogg-A goat couldn't get through that place. Water has been run since before the time his wife was born. Referred back to Keech for more definite description of the place complained of. Communication from J. K. Tuffree saying that a warrant in amount of $13.35, issued to him in payment of work performed by C. T. Healy in surveying line of ditch, had been lost, and asking for another. Healy's bill was originally $23.35. Tuffree paid him $10 by means of a warrant previously drawn by the company, which he also lost. A duplicate warrant was ordered issued, on Tuffree signing agreement to hold company free of loss. Communication of Olinda Crude Oil Company, referring to letter of Mr. Botsford relative to cementing ditch on portion of Olinda ranch, agreeing to company's terms. Ordered to file, and work authorized to begin. Capacity of ditch, 200 inches. Attorney Melrose submitted an agreement with P. J. Yorba, relative to laying pipe line through land belonging to his sister. Deed to reservoir had been found to be correct; money was paid and deed recorded. Sherwood-Does the signing of this agreement bind the company to construct the pipe? Melrose-It certainly does. The agreement is drawn in the precise words of the option upon the property, in which the company agreed to it. Sherwood objected to signing it, but Pierotti pointed out that same was according to agreement previously entered into with Yorba, and moved agreement be signed. Carried without division. The committee on pumping plant made the following report: ANAHEIM, Cal., Jan. 16, 1902. BOARD OF DIRECTORS, A. U. W. Co.-Gentlemen: Your committee on pumping plants begs leave to report that they have made an examination of the country lying adjacent to the Anaheim ditch between the city of Anaheim. A force of carpenters have been at work during the week preparing his place of business for him, and he will be ready to receive his friends in a few days. Uncle Josh At the opera house this evening the delightful farce comedy," Uncle Josh" will be given by the following talent Mr. Sherwood submitted the draft of agreement with Col. J. K. Tuffree, relating to his "management and control" of the reservoir bearing his name. The company recently changed the line of its ditch emptying into the reservoir, taking it from Tuffree's land and placing it upon the adjoining property, because of better grade and location. Tuffree desired an agreement that the change did not impair his "management and control" of the reservoir. The board at a previous meeting interpolated lines to which Tuffree took exception. It maintains he has no "management and control" of its reservoir, but in order to get along with him amicably worded the agreement in conformity with an earlier agreement entered into with him, in which his "management and control" is not perceptible to the naked eye. Sherwood-Tuffree returns this agreement as originally drawn by him; he objects to the interlineation, and says if it isn't signed as it is now it don't go. He considers the additions made by the board as unnecessary. Crowther—Let's turn it over to the new board. Pierotti—With instructions not to sign it. Attorney Melrose being asked as to legal points in connection therewith, said that to sign the agreement would be tacitly to acknowledge Tuffree had some right in the management and control of the reservoir, which he has not. The changes made in the line of the company's ditch were not on Tuffree's land, and he failed to see where that gentleman's cause of complaint came in. The matter went over without action. It is possible the old ditch may be retained and used for storm water. Communication of Mr. Roorden of the Eastside, referring to ditch running diagonally through his newly purchased 40 acre tract. Referred to Mr. Smith for investigation. Petition of Key, Nenno and Young, asking that main canal emptying from the reservoir be cemented half a mile to the present cement canal at Tuffree's. Referred to Ditch Committee. Sherwood objected to signing it, but Pierotti pointed out that same was according to agreement previously entered into with Yorba, and moved agreement be signed. Carried without division. The committee on pumping plant made the following report: ANAHEIM, Cal., Jan. 16, 1902. BOARD OF DIRECTORS, A. U. W. Co. —Gentlemen: Your committee on pumping plants begs leave to report that they have made an examination of the country lying adjacent to the Anaheim ditch, between the city of Anaheim and a point opposite Richfield. Very little development of water has been undertaken in this locality, though several successful wells are in operation a short distance to the south. This whole locality seems to be underlaid by a stratum of gravel of unknown thickness, containing large boulders, which the ordinary well-boring machinery is unable to penetrate. We found one newly dug well which had been sunk by hand to the gravel strata, reaching water at a depth of about 80 feet. It was found impossible to sink very far below the surface of the water. This well had a cement curb. Your committee is unable to recom- 15 Minutes sufficient to give you most delicious tea biscuit using Royal Baking Powder as directed. A pure, true leavener. HUNTINGTON DRIVES THROUGH TOWN Route Includes Santa Ana to Orange, Olive, Placentia, Fullerton, La Habra and back to Anaheim. H. E. Huntington and party drove through Anaheim on Sunday afternoon. He was accompanied by Eppes Randolph, manager of his electric railway line, Chief Engineer Pillsbury, assistant engineer Kuhrts, and I. E. Tolle, projector of the Interurban electric railway company. which Huntington and Hellman recently purchased. He had also with him members of his family. He passed through town the evening before in his private car "Otsego," over the Southern Pacific, going to Santa Ana. Early the next morning he and his party took a conveyance and drove over the route of his contemplated electric railway line, going by way of Orange, Olive, thence to Placentia by way of the Eastside, to Fullerton and the La Habra valley. Returning, they drove direct to this city, driving about town and stopping at the depot and conversing with Mr. Darling. Mr. Huntington's visit here preages an early beginning of work upon his electric line. Last week his surveyors ran four lines through town. It is generally believed, work upon this end of the line will begin in the near future. The line will be in running operation before the end of the year. That the road will run in a bee line from Santa Ana to this city and thence to Fullerton, admits of no doubt. The line between Fullerton and this city, leaves the bridge across Spadra road a short distance this side of the first named town, and runs through the walnut orchards of Mrs. Strothoff, Mrs. Roerden, Mrs. Pfeninger and C. W. Overton. It cuts the Pfeninger 34 acre tract diagonally in two as it runs similarly through the other places. From the Overton place it starts in a direct line to the northern end of Los Angeles street, where it continues on through to this city. The line crosses the wash a short distance east of the county bridge. From La Habra the line will send a loop through Placentia and thence to Olive and Orange. In all probability an electric line will run west on Center street, as a feeder to the main line, and extending through West Anaheim and well on toward the Garden Grove country. The present year is destined to see more railroad building in this locality than ever. Reports are again current that the Southern Pacific company is upon the point of extending its line to Placentia and to the main line at On-Anaheim has two voting precincts Center Street the Dividing Line—South Side Precinct One, North Side Precinct Two The Supervisors on Monday, at the suggestion of Supervisor Potter, divided the municipality of Anaheim into two precincts, designating Center street at the dividing line. The line extends from East to Adams street, runs south along that thoroughfare to Tim Boege's, and continues on to the intersection of Broadway at western city limits. Voters living south of this line will cast their ballots in Precinct 1; those living north of it, in Precinct 2. Announcement of the proposed new political subdivision of the city was made by County Clerk Beckett on the occasion of his visit here the fore part of the week to swear in Judge Shanley and Joseph Helmsen as registration clerkes and to furnish them with necessary blanks for that purpose. He gave instructions not to begin the work of registration until the Supervisors divided the municipality into precincts as required by law. The law in relation to creation of new voting precincts provides that whenever a precinct polls more than 200 votes it may in the discretion of the Supervisors be divided into two or more precincts, as in their judgment may be deemed to be necessary. Anaheim at the last general election polled 340 votes, and at the next election will probably poll over 400. Therefore it was necessary under the law to divide the city into two precincts. Were the municipality as large as the Anaheim school district, we should have three precincts. The country is growing. For purposes of municipal elections these political subdivisions may be set aside, in the discretion of the Trustees, and votes may be cast at a single polling place embracing the entire city. All registration will be done by precinct, and as the Great Register has been cancelled, all voters must reregister if they desire to exercise the elective franchise. COLLINS WANTS HIS MONEY BACK While on His Wedding Trip He is Fined $20 for Disturbing the Peace and Fast Driving Attorney Head called upon Judge Shanley a day or two ago seeking to have returned to Frank Collins, a young man employed by the Earl Fruit Company at Fullerton, the sum of $20 which had been paid into court by C. B. Cunningham some days previously, in satisfaction of a fine imposed by the Judge PERSONAL MENTION N. Deutsch was a visitor in town yesterday from Los Angeles. Attorney Tipton has purchased the Hamilton place west of town. Mr. and Mrs. Max Posener, formerly of Santa Ana, have been divorced at El Paso. J. N. Anderson, a prominent attorney of Santa Ana, was in town on Saturday. Dr. Wm. Freeman was over from Fullerton yesterday on a brief professional visit. Oliver Hill says this is the dryest weather he has ever seen in California, but he thinks we shall have a plenty of rain after a while. Theo Staley, one of the prosperous orange and walnut growers of Placentia, was in town a day or two ago and made us a pleasant call. Mrs. Virginia Hamilton and a number of her pupils will give a piano recital at Backs' hall Tuesday evening, Jan. 28th. An admission fee of 10 cents will be charged. Miss Josephine Alexander, primary teacher of Orangethorpe school, has been unable to be in school because of sickness, and her place is being filled by Miss Grace Smith. Miss Ruth Smith has been spending her vacation with her mother and sister on Orangethorpe avenue. She left on Saturday to resume her studies at the University at Berkeley. George M. Stanley was over from Santa Ana one afternoon last week, accompanied by his wife's father, Wm. R. Hamilton, who is in 'Southern California from Nebraska to spend the winter. Al Harlin and family have moved to Peralta, where Mr. Harlin takes charge of the school for the remainder of the year, substituting for Miss Mohr, who has been compelled to resign on account of illness. Adolph Luedke has reshipped his safe and other furniture from Los Angeles to his former jewelry store in this city. He informs us he will buy a tract of land west of town and go in for raising fancy poultry. Mr. Turk returned some days ago from Louisiana, where he was stationed during the sugar-making season. He reports a good sugar crop, and the Beaumont oil fields revolutionizing industry in that part of the country. He will remain for a two-weeks' vacation previous to going to Chino to resume his labors for the Oxnard company. Major Klokke Robbed Smashup. Hidt, foreman of Santa Fe Railway, was in town the foreweek, and related that as being taken out of the yard guarding some days before bed between cars and badly it was taken to the shops and he had an enforced couple of days while it was kept.oks ago while descending the oil wells in Soquel canoe was attached to a runaway narrowly escaped serious blowing the green engineer control of his train he tried to this car, but at that moment collided with a string of bog on the main line at the hill, and he was thrown to sustaining severe bruises.gang of ten men were badly several cars were reduced wood and the engine was Had his car been nearer the ice train, several fatalitiesubtly have resulted.

The present year is destined to see more railroad building in this locality than ever. Reports are again current that the Southern Pacific company is upon the point of extending its line to Placentia and to the main line at Ontario. This will give them a bee line haul to tide water at San Pedro, through this city. The Salt Lake road will undoubtedly extend a loop line from Whitter through La Habra and on to Placentia, and up the Santa Ana canyon to River-side. This fact together with the fact that the new electric line will haul freight as well as passengers, has about broken the compact for years existing between the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe, whereby the one has agreed to keep out of Placentia, the other out of the Peatlands. Both roads are pooled, and divide freight equally between them from these two richest sections of Southern California. Signs point to extensive railway building in this section in the near future.

Those persons who felt we were not going to get any rain at all this year are doomed to disappointment. Showers on Saturday night gave us .15 of an inch, and yesterday morning .16 additional. Total for the season, 1.99 inches. Last year to date 5.18 inches. These figures are according to Mr. Dickel's gauge. The weather clerk may have been treating us badly so far this season, but Mr. Storm says we shall have plenty of rain yet—in fact we shall have several storms before we get through with the year. Married. Prof. R. L. Bisby, formerly of Santa Ana, and Miss Grace Spurgeon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Spurgeon of that city, were married at the home of the bride's parents on Saturday morning at half past 10 o'clock. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. S. Thompson of the Independent church of Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. Bisby took the morning train for Los Angeles, and left that evening for San Francisco, where they will make their home.
