MANY RUMORS ABOUT THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY First Line May Tap the Placentin Country, but Anaheim and Fullerton Will also Be on the Line to Los Angeles. People in town during the week from La Habra and Placentia say there is little doubt the Huntington electric line soon to be built from Los Angeles to Whittier will continue through the La Habra Valley and into Placentia. Thence it is said the road will go by way of Olive and Orange to Santa Ana. This recalls the statement of a gentleman connected with the road, made some time ago, to the effect that, while the electric line will run from La Habra south through Fullerton and Anaheim, there will also be a line running to Placentia, thence to Olive, Orange and Santa Ana. While little credence was paid in the reports concerning this latter line at the time, it seems Huntington has had his eye on that route and that it may be the first one to be built. The fact that Huntington is asking for a 120-foot right-of-way bears out the statement that a double track railway will be constructed into the Placentia country, and that the thousands of carloads of eastern freight produced in that section is what he is primarily after. From Placentia a spur will run to the oil wells. During the week reports have been received that the electric line will go by way of Buena Park, thence hitherward by way of Orangethorpe avenue. Thus the line would go on each side of Fullerton, one to Placentia, the other to Buena Park. Local men who keep in touch with these railway reports aver with emphasis that neither Fullerton nor this city will be left off the main line. "These railway people are not going to haul passengers all over creation to get them to our city," said a well-known Los Angeles capitalist in town the other day. "It costs money to haul passengers, as well as freight, and the shortest route between Santa Ana and Los Angeles is the one that will probably be selected as the passenger line. That will be through this city and Fullerton. Mark what I say." "I believe Placentia will be the first section in this valley to have the road, WHERE TO CAST YOUR BALLOT Polling Places in This Part of the County for Next Tuesday's Election—Election Officers.

OLIVE CATHOLIC FAIR WAS SUCCESSFUL Excellent Musical Program and Many Booths. Presided Over by Pretty Girls —List of Prize Winners. The Catholic fair which held the boards at the opera-house on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings was probably the most successful affair of its kind ever held in the county. The opening program on Thursday relied on his nickels. There was the fish-pond, where everybody had to try his luck at fishing; there was the oil well, ice cream booth and others, and all did a flourishing business. In the hall below the ladies of the church served an excellent dinner, which was well patronized. On Saturday evening a long list of prize winners was announced in the raffles. W.G.Potter was voted the most popular candidate. The list of prize winners is as follows: A handsome rocker, won by Miss A.Everhardy; winning number, 20. Sailor boy, won by Mrs.Scheller; No. 23.

These railway people are not going to haul passengers all over creation to get them to our city,” said a well-known Los Angeles capitalist in town the other day. “It costs money to haul passengers, as well as freight, and the shortest route between Santa Ana and Los Angeles is the one that will probably be selected as the passenger line. That will be through this city and Fullerton. Mark what I say. “I believe Placentia will be the first section in this valley to have the road, however. Huntington is after the freight of that section, and even if the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe should extend their roads there, which I believe will be the inevitable result of Huntington’s move, he will have the cream of shipments for many years to come. I personally know these Placentia people have been after the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe line to extend their roads through that territory, and at one time, three or four years ago, before these two roads went into their pool, had excellent prospects of getting them both. The pool put this aside, and now Huntington has the call. I have no doubt the big Placentia shippers have had his ear, and I doubt not they have sung a very pleasant song into it. “But the railway checkerboard will have many moves of absorbing interest to the people of this valley before the next year is out. Towns will be made and perhaps others unmade, but I look for a wonderful increase in wealth and population in this part of the country.” Asked as to which towns would be unmade, this gentleman said he could not farther speak upon this subject. But it would appear the Chambers of Commerce of Fullerton and this city have work enough before them to occupy their time for some weeks to come. NORWALK FARMER KILLS HIS WIFE Diabolical Deed of Frank Seppi While Under the Influence of Liquor. Frank Seppi, a well-to-do Norwalk rancher, 55 years of age, at 6:30 o’clock Tuesday evening shot and killed his wife, Adelina, on their forty-acre ranch near Artesia. The murdered woman was a native of Italy, 45 years of age, and the mother of three children, two boys and a girl, ranging in age from 11 to 15 years. The motive for the shooting has not yet been ascertained, as Seppi refuses to talk. All he will say is that he will take his medicine if it costs him his life. Seppi is an Austrian. Both the man and his wife had been drinking before the shooting. Their married life had been unhappy for years. Seppi had the reputation of being an honest, industrious, quiet man. Yet, when his passions were aroused, he treated his wife with great brutality. A year ago last August he struck her over the head with a shovel and injured one of her eyes so that she lost its sight. He was fined $100. According to the statement of one of the children Sanpi and his wife were LA HABRA Voting Place—School House. Inspectors—J. G. Launer, J. L. Jackson. Judges—Michael Fritz, S. M.

All he will say is that he will take his medicine if it costs him his life. Seppi is an Austrian. Both the man and his wife had been drinking before the shooting. Their married life had been unhappy for years. Seppi had the reputation of being an honest, industrious, quiet man. Yet, when his passions were aroused, he treated his wife with great brutality. A year ago last August he struck her over the head with a shovel and injured one of her eyes so that she lost its sight. He was fined $100. According to the statement of one of the children, Seppi and his wife were quarreling in the bedroom when she bared her breast and said: "Shoot me, shoot me!" Quick as a flash the enraged husband drew a pistol from his pocket and discharged the weapon. The bullet entered the woman's breast and she fell to the floor dead. One of the sons ran over to Constable Freeman's house, a quarter of a mile away, and advised the officer of what had happened. Freeman found Seppi waiting his arrival, and the latter submitted quietly to arrest. As neighboring ranchers upon the news of the murder began to congregate rapidly near the Seppi dairy, Freeman became afraid that his prisoner would be taken away from him and lynched. He put him in a wagon and departed for Los Angeles to place his prisoner in the county jail. The body of the murdered woman lay where it fell, awaiting the arrival of the coroner. The Seppis earned a comfortable living from the proceeds of their dairy. ACCIDENTALLY KILLED Edith Watson, the 4-year-old daughter of Postmaster Watson of Westminster, was shot and killed by her 8-year-old brother on Thursday, the weapon being a 22-caliber rifle. The children were at play in the yard, when the boy brought the gun from the house, and pointing it at the little girl, discharged it. The ball entered the back above the right hip, passing through the body and coming out in front directly below the heart. Physicians were instantly called, but the little sufferer died shortly after sustaining the wound. Girl Wanted Will find a pleasant home and best of wages.

Urivez Gullity Jose Urivez, charged with the murder of Juan Cabrillos at Tousseau's sheep camp, September 14th, was on Monday evening found guilty by a jury in the Superior Court of murder in the second degree. At request of the attorney for defense, time was granted for the preparation of a motion for a new trial. November 12th was set as the date of sentence, at 10 o'clock. The minimum penalty is ten years. CLINE S MARRIAGE W. M. Cline and Miss Harriet Teel of Los Angeles were married in that city some days ago. Mr. Cline is traveling agent for the Pacific Coast Steamship company and was in town on Tuesday, looking after walnut shipments. He has just returned from his honeymoon trip to Santa Barbara. Cline is one of the most popular passenger men on the coast and never had a day's worriment in his life, but his troubles are now about to begin. Big Land Deal The Townsend-Robinson Investment Company of Long Beach last week purchased ta 2200-acre tract of walnut and orange land at La Habra. The land was owned by the Stearns Rancho company. The company also purchased 200 miners' inches of water from Chaffey & Stowell, which will be put on the land by means of cement pipes. The land is to be put on the market in ten and twenty-acre lots, and rumor says that a townsite will soon be platted. The new owners have many plans for the development of their property. The Huntington-Hellman electric railway survey passes through this tract. A good water system, electric lights and good transportation facilities will soon give the new tract a metropolitan air.

First Rain The first rain of the season fell on Thursday night, when .41 of an inch was recorded by Mr. Dickel's gauge Rain is not wanted for a month yet. These October rains do more harm than good. They interfere with the walnut harvest, start beets to their second growth, and in other respects are several kinds of nuisance. They start the grass, and if not followed by further showers in the succeeding month, the result is that the grass dies; the crop is hard to resuscitate and stock suffers. Moreover, they are generally regarded as being precursors of dry seasons—that at least has been the case during the past several years. The best seasons hereabout, the oldest inhabitant says, are those in which no rain falls up to Thanksgiving or thereabout. Up to this time last year two inches of rain had fallen, and during a number of years past heavy rain have fallen in October. Goepper's Story Leo Goepper was in town yesterday and talking about the election said there would likely be a great man men who next week would know a heath more about how they stood with their voters than they do now. Goeep said that one time in his old home in East a man once ran for constable. He canvassed his township and felt certain of election. He told everybody so. When the votes were counted he did cover that he had just got thru (He was beaten.) Going to a friend the morning after the election, he asked: "Who do you suppose those thru men were?" "Well, I voted for you," replied the hombre; "you voted for yourself, who the other — damn fool was don't know."

Cement Sidewalk A meeting of property owners on Broadway was held at the city hall on Friday evening for the purpose of discussing the advisability of constructing a cement sidewalk on Broadway from Olive street to Clementina. It was agreed that a cement sidewalk should be constructed on the south side of the street, property owners on the north side not being ready for the improvement. J. B. Rea presided and H. A. McWilliams acted as secretary. Pending negotiations relative to laying cement walks upon both sides of the street, the meeting adjourned to the call of the chair. The enterprising residents of Broadway are resolved to make it the finest residence street in the city, and are going ahead with enorgetic spirit to make it so.

After election it is believed this development work will be taken in hand. A syndicate of physicians have made Trustee Rust moved that Marshal Steadman be instructed to ascertain how much light the various merchants will use, and report at the next regular meeting in writing. Seconded by Trustee Berdrow and carried. Engineer Lewis reported on cost of electric meters, of which the city desires to purchase twenty-four. The price is $27.50, with 50 and 10 per cent off, making the net price $12 odd dollars. Test of water meters offered for sale showed them to be inaccurate, in favor of consumers. Further time was granted until next regular meeting to procure figures on meters and other information concerning them. Engineer Lewis asked for an increase in wages. He now receives $80 per month. Trustee Berdrow moved engineers' wages be raised $5 per month. Seconded by Rust. Trustee Weisel thought they be raised $10 per month. Berdrow's motion was carried. Lewis said he would not accept a raise of $5, and would not guarantee to remain. Berdow withdrew his motion, and moved that the raise be made $10 per month. Carried.

Baker, editor of the Santa Ana Bulletin, died at his residence in that city a few minutes past midnight on Sunday morning after an illness of several years due to malignant cancer of the throat. He was one of the pioneers of Santa Ana, having come in 1883, when that town was but a hamlet. Mr.Baker was a man of genius and ability as a writer, and for almost twenty years has been a prominent figure in Democratic politics of Southern California. Until within less than three years he held the position chairman of the Democratic central committee for many years, and was looked up to by all his political faith as an advisor whose ideas were always worth listening to and whose reputation was without a blemish. Baker was admitted to the bar in Iowa, but, as he expressed it, "pickings were pretty scarce" in the legal business and he founded the Leader, leading newspaper of Chariton, Iowa, which he edited and managed until his departure for California. He was twice elected to the state Legislature in that state and served from 1874 to 1878. He was also one of the pioneers of Montana, having made an exhaustive prospecting tour of that territory in early '70's, when civilization was very young there. A book is now in hands of an eastern publisher narrating his adventures in the then wild country. Upon his arrival in Santa Ana in August, 1883, he purchased Standard, and for many years conducted it. The Standard was sold in 1898 and Baker determined to retire from active business, but within a year was back again editing the Bulletin, of which he was the founder. The funeral was held on Monday at 2 o'clock from the family residence. No Meeting The Republican meeting advertised to take place at the opera-house on Saturday evening has been called off on account of the claims of other precincts in the county which have not yet had any political blowout this campaign.

Los Angeles and Cypress St SUBSCRIBE FOR THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE NOTHING which has occurred in this campaign has so stirred the ire of the Democrats as the coming to California of Senator Beveridge and Congressman Littlefield, two Republican statesmen, who have taken part in the campaign to the extent of one speech by the former and a dozen or more by the latter. Mr. Lane, in his opening address in the campaign, sounded the alarm against this dangerous invasion of California by making some remarks of which the point was that Senator Beveridge's appearance on the stump in California was an unwarrantable interference, and more recently he has been talking resentfully about Mr. Littlefield's visit and his speeches. Taking the cue from their leader, other Democratic speakers and the newspapers of that party have been discussing the Maine statesman in anything but an amiable way. The protest made against Beveridge and Littlefield and their alleged "interference" in California politics is about what we might expect to hear if two members of the British Parliament or of the German Reichstag or of the French Chamber of Deputies had come to do what the Indiana senator and the Maine congressman have done. In such an event the objection would be urged that these gentlemen were foreigners, and that as such they should have no part in an American election campaign—an objection of which every citizen would be conscious of the force. In effect it is the same objectio which the Democrats make to Beveridge and Lane, but it is without the same justification. These two gentlemen are not foreigners but Americans; California is a part of their country and they are our fellow-citizens; they have a right to come here and talk when they please, and California Republicans have a right to invite them. The objections which Mr. Lane and the other Democratic stumpers make to the presence of two Republican members of Congress might appear to indicate nothing more than a feeling that these gentlemen are doing effective work and diminishing the Democratic chances of success.
