CITY ELECTION PASSES QUIETLY Members of Board of Trustees and Other Municipal Officers Chosen The municipal election on Monday was probably the quietest ever held in the history of the city. Only 258 votes were cast, whereas it was expected the total vote would go to nearly 300. At noon 150 votes were cast. Voting during the afternoon hours was not at all brisk. Fletcher, Rust and Berdrow were elected City Trustees. Merritt defeated McKinley for City Clerk. The name of the latter was not printed upon the ticket. This serious handicap it was impossible to overcome. H. Cahen was reelected Treasurer. The fight for Marshal resulted in the reelection of N. F. Steadman. The surprise of the day was the infinitessimal vote polled by Harrison Kuebler for this office. Out of the total vote of the city, he polled only six votes. Out of the first 100 votes counted he received only one. The total vote was as follows: CITY TRUSTEES. Louis S. Fletcher...148 C. O. Rust...137 Wm. Berdrow...136 Arthur W. Swain...122 Charles A. Boege...122 CITY CLERK. Edward B. Merritt...210 C. G. McKinley...33 TREASURER. H. Cahen...192 CITY MARSHAL. M. F. Steadman...155 J. H. Brunworth...89 Harrison Kuebler...6 The election board was composed of H. C. Gade and George Bond, inspectors; A. Rimpau and J. S. Howard, judges; Joseph Hatfield and Frederick Spencer, clerks; Ralph Hunter and Max Boege, ballot clerks. Friends of Mr. McKinley said after the count that the election board had exceeded its authority in removing the pencils from the election booths placed there by that gentleman. Mr. McKinley's attention was called to the fact that there were no pencils in the booths, and as his name had to be written upon the ballots voted for him, he procured a number during the morning hours and placed them in the booths. These were removed, but the ITEMS ROUNDABOUT TOWN Telephone Fire. At 5 o'clock on Thursday morning George Wommer, who carries the GAZETTE to city and suburban subscribers, saw smoke issuing from the cable box high up on the telephone pole at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. He immediately rode to Mr. Turner's residence and informed that gentleman. The current was shut off, but not until 54 pairs of wires were destroyed, and twice that number of telephones in town rendered useless. The trouble was caused by the breaking of the transmission wire near the bridge over the river south of town. This wire carried a voltage of 10,000 volts. The result was that the high current burned out telephone wires in many places along the line. At Santa Ana considerable damage was done and several fires started in the trees through which wires ran bearing the increased voltage. Los Angeles, La Mirada and other places suffered interruptions to their telephone service, in the former place 400 phones being for a time disabled. A force of linemen was put to work immediately upon repairs. The burned-out cable taken from the box in town showed 102 wires burned and twisted out of all shape. The wires looked like a tangled mass of roots attached to a tree that had been violently wrenched from the ground. They were twisted and burned so that their usefulness was entirely destroyed. Repairs were completed on Saturday and the line put in serviceable condition. Assegal Frank Pallas has presented Joseph Helmsen with a Filipino walking-stick having inside of it a two-foot assegai of which those who contemplate standing up the Landlord had best beware. The cane is an inoffensive looking instrument, but on being seized by the party of the second part, is drawn by the holder of it dexterously toward the south-southwestward, when a two-foot blade is unsheathed, sharpened to a point, and in the hands of the Landlord's powerful right, capable of inflicting all kinds of harm. With this he runs the other fellow through the liver and sends for the coroner. However he is afaired of going out with it less he be arrested for carrying concealed weapons. BILL FISH IS A BASEBALL CRACKER Hired a Small Boy to Go With Him Game and Point Out the Players. Bill Fish came down from Los Angeles on Monday to see how the tion was going. Bill is the or ball crank of Southern California when he came to the State from ana, away back in the 70's, known about Pop Anson, Mike Kelly, Co son and the rest of them. He even Morley play a rotten third base time, years and years ago, in this town, when the Tufts-Lyons came and were taken into camp by the Grass nine of this vicinity. Now can't touch Morley with a long p he never notices anybody now, and forgotten all about his ball days is a manager now—has 2000 people see Sunday morning's game and thousand for the afternoon game. Morley is it—is in a class all by self—and doesn't feel the salary paying Waddell—$40 a minute. Bill took in all the games last—all except one. He thought he getting lung trouble and went to the game—got well in a minute. "Waddell is a peacheroino who doesn't get mad." Say, he can th ball! If he only had a catcher to him he'd strike out twenty men a g "McPartlin is one of those easing pitchers whose slow ball no can hit. He can't hit as well as dell—but Atherton is the boy whit hit the ball. Then Raymer, To Anderson and Householder—the all making good. Riley tries too for his individual average—tries steal home from third and was th out at the plate. "The Oaklands are ball players Los Angeles hit their pitchers h than they did ours; but they were players all right. "I saw Waddell go up in the bas e first day—say, that was awful he redeemed himself the next day if he keeps his temper will be right." Bill hired a small boy to go in see the game the first day with b paid his way in to have him tell who the new players were. But he knows 'em all now, and other day rode on the same street with Pete Lohman. PUENTE CRUDE BADLY MISMAN PEATLAND MAN ABDUCTS HIS CHILD Andrew Pope Drives with His Little Daughter to Los Angeles and Takes Train for East. En Route to England. Andrew Pope of the Peatland on Saturday took his little daughter for a drive, as has been his custom once a week since he and his wife have separated, pending divorce proceedings. He drove through this city and on to Fullerton, where he changed horses and drove to Los Angeles. The little girl had been in her mother's possession during the trial of the divorce case, and when neither Pope nor the child came back she set investigations on foot which soon revealed the plot to abduct the child. District Attorney Williams refused to issue a warrant for Pope's detention, on the ground that he had a right, equally with his wife, for possession of his daughter. At 11 o'clock Saturday night Mrs. Pope succeeded in procuring a warrant for his arrest from Judge Willison's court. A deputy sheriff telephoned the Los Angeles officials to hold the man, and took the early train for that city the next morning. He found on his arrival that Pope had boarded the overland and had started for his old home in England, taking his daughter along with him. A telegram from Needles announced his arrival there, but nothing was done to stop him. Mrs. Pope is prostrated, and has given up hope of recovering her child. School Report.

Adolph has been three years aboard ship, this next September. He went to San Diego to take his initial examination. His stepfather went with him, and somehow or other the two became separated. Near the wharf a number of San Diego kids set upon the stranger, but Adolph sailed into them and walloped the gang. Later he took the examinations, passed successfully, was accepted, and was soon on his way to Mare Island to enter the service. A recent photograph shows him to have developed into a strapping young man-o'-war'sman, good looking as ever, and the stars and stripes floating triumphantly overhead. Aboy there, Adolph, shiver timbers, but we are proud of you. Fruit Promises Well John Eymann reports the crop outlook best in years. If no untoward conditions intervene he looks for the largest output of grapes and deciduous fruits in many years. Trees and vines are in better condition than last year, when the hailstorm of the lst of May sprang up and ruined many promising crops. John thought at that time his trees were getting the benefit of a fine rain, but subsequent investigation showed that his loss by the storm was upwards of $1000. He finds his time pretty well taken up with his walnuts, oranges, grapes and deciduous fruits. La Habra Booming. Deeds have passed by the Edgemont Water company and the East Whittier Land company by which the former obtains the property known under the general name of the East Whittier ditch, and including several acres of water-bearing land at El Monte with nineteen wells, large pumping-plant and over thirteen miles of cement ditch and laterals. The price paid is said to be $65,000. This same company has also purchased 2180 acres in La Habra valley and will plat a townsite, "Edgemont," and do other development work. Off for New York S. K. Holman departed yesterday for New York, to be absent during the summer. He will return in the fall, as usual, to spend the winter on his orange plantation at Brookshurst. His hunting dog Elko, which has hitherto invariably accompanied him on his transcontinental voyages, remains on the ranch this trip. DECIDIOUS FRUITS "I saw Waddell go up in the basement first day—say, that was awful; he redeemed himself the next day if he keeps his temper will be right." Bill hired a small boy to go in see the game the first day with him paid his way in to have him tell who the new players were. But he knows 'em all now, and other day rode on the same street with Pete Lohman. PUENTE CRUDE BADLY MISMANAGE Oil Company in which Numerous People had Their Pedal Extremities Elongated Suit has been filed against the Puente Crude Oil company, in which condition a number of local people stock, and a receivership is asked John T. Kierna is the complete stockholder, and he makes charge gross mismanagement against the pany. He asks that a receiver be pointed, who shall proceed to deceive the company's 800 acres of oil and put the company upon a financial basis. The Puente Crude company was corporated in 1899, under the la Arizona, with a capital stock of $2000. The following year it purposed property in the foothills near Pine for $35,000 and disposed of $worth of stock. It is alleged no operation work was done except down a well 800 feet, at which operations had to be suspended for of funds and a $5000 debt. This debt was incurred by theitors in May, 1900, when they purged from Bushnell additional land in Kings county and paid not only $5000 in cash, but also shares of the company's treasury. Bushnell's land is valueless, not standing many representations to contrary made to induce one McAvoy, a stockholder, to dislaws lawsuit begun in December, 1901 nullify the sale. Being made to bear that the property lay adjacent to best oil land developed in the county McAvoy finally dropped his suit understanding that new direction should be elected and a more equical administration enforced. In January, 1901, at a stockhour meeting held in Phoenix, she saw the Kings county land was ratified all the stock present was represented by stock held by Beveridge, Busw W. A. Briggs and Charles S. Mvey, attorney for Kiernan. No rectors were elected, and they authorized to have the Puente platted into forty-acre tracts leased on suitable terms or sold less than $100 an acre, which place was never done.

Kirby, George A. Hunter, John Eymann. Mr. Neff was reelected President, Mr. Rea Vice President and Mr. Eymann Secretary. Prospects for the deciduous fruit crop were never better. Time of frost has passed and the outlook for good crops is excellent. OLINDA OIL. The SantaFe Railway company is supplying the Standard Oil company with the output of a number of its oil wells. It has been discovered the oil is too valuable for fuel for locomotives. The Standard pays $1.40 per barrel for it. The railroad company gets all the oil needed for its purposes for 70 cents. From the wells the oil is carried through pipes to San Pedro. From that port it is taken to Alameda in the steamer George Loomis for refining by the Standard Oil company. The oil is of 34 gravity. It is of such a character that it can be turned into the various refined products that are put on the market. TURNER PICNIC.

HALL FISH IS A BASEBALL CRANK A Small Boy to Go With Him to the Game and Point Out the Players Hall Fish came down from Los Anza on Monday to see how the elephant was going. Bill is the original crank of Southern California, and he came to the State from Indiana back in the 70's, knew all about Pop Anson, Mike Kelly, Clark and the rest of them. He even saw they play a rotten third base one year and years ago, in this man's day when the Tufts-Lyons came down were taken into camp by the Tall is nine of this vicinity. Now you touch Morley with a long pole—ever notices anybody now, and has gotten all about his ball days. He manager now—has 2000 people to Sunday morning's game and 'steen stand for the afternoon game. Morley is it—is in a class all by himself doesn't feel the salary he's got Waddell—$40 a minute. I took in all the games last week except one. He thought he was lunging trouble and went to see game—got well in a minute. Waddell is a peacherino when he can't get mad. Say, he can throw a ball. If he only had a catcher to hold the strike out twenty men a game. McPatterson is one of those easy-goitchers whose slow ball nobody hit. He can't hit as well as Wadbut Atherton is the boy who can be the ball. Then Raymer, Toman, Porsson and Householder—they're making good. Riley tries too much individual average—tried to home from third and was thrown at the plate. The Oaklands are ball players, but Angles hit their pitchers harder they did ours; but they were balls all right. Saw Waddell go up in the balloon first day—say, that was awful—but deemed himself the next day, and keeps his temper will be all." He hired a small boy to go in and the game the first day with him—this way in to have him tell him the new players were. He knows 'em all now, and the day rode on the same street-car Pete Lohman.

HUGGANS PAYS MONEY INTO COURT Helps Along the Orange Justice by Handing Over $150, for Alleged Illegal Sale of Liquor. Chauncey Huggans hitched up the white nag yesterday and drove over to Orange to pay into Justice Chandler's court the sum of $150, which that official some time ago imposed in the shape of a fine upon Joseph Smith, one of Huggans' employees, for alleged illegal sale of liquor at Fullerton. Huggans said that Jerome Fulsome, the Garden Grove constable, who was the only witness appearing against him at the trial of the case, swore falsely, and that he (Huggans) was convicted on false testimony. According to his story Fulsome came into his place of business at Fullerton and called for a "soda with a stick in it." Fulsome was at that time employed by the anti-saloon people to procure evidence against Huggans to convict him of selling liquor illegally. He testified that Smith poured the soda into a glass, and then taking a bottle containing liquor, poured into the glass something which, judging by its smell, was either brandy or whisky. That was all the evidence. Huggans swore that at the time of Fulsome's visit there was not a drop of brandy or whisky in his hotel; nor had there been for several days previously. The Orange justice concluded to believe Fulsome, and imposed a fine of $150. Huggans took an appeal to the Superior Court. The decision was upheld, and on Monday he gathered together a sum sufficient to liquidate the fine and presented it to the Orange judge.
