WATER ELECTION Chapman Succeeds Crowther; Kraemer Displaces Sheppard Sherwood Obtains Proxy from Braun, Leaving Date Blank, and Subsequently Fills It in Himself, Does Not Vote It—Sheppard Out of Race from Start. The Result Sherwood ... 7038 Hale ... 6688 Zeyn ... 6641 McDermont ... 6544 Kraemer ... 6513 Bradford ... 6447 Chapman ... 5929 Crowther ... 5921 Sheppard ... 2583 Fewer stockholders attended the annual election of directors in the Anaheim Union Water Company on Saturday than for a number of years, but that did not indicate a lack of interest. Proxies were more numerous than ever, and interest in the result was never keener. The majority wing of the board saw enough stock ahead to impell them to run five candidates. They were Crowther, Bradford, McDermont and Zeyn of the old board and C. C. Chapman. The minority had four candidates in the field, viz: Sherwood, Hale and Sheppard of the old board and Sam Kraemer. At noon the report was current on the street that the minority had found they had not stock sufficient to elect four, and that Kraemer had been asked to step down and out, in favor of Sheppard. Kraemer is reported to have said: "Gentlemen, you have got me into this fight, and I am going to stay to the end. I did not seek the place, but I am going to see it out." Both the new candidates (Chapman and Kraemer) were successful, the former succeeding Crowther and the latter Sheppard. After Kraemer's declaration to step aside there existed no chance for Sheppard. To make the was the one entitled to vote. Hiatt arose and said the letter spoke tor itself. It revoked the proxy held by Sherwood and he (Hiatt) claimed the right to vote it. Sherwood claimed the right by the fact that his proxy bore the later date. C. C. Chapman—When did you receive that proxy from Mr. Braun, Mr. Sherwood? Sherwood—I'm not on the witness stand now. M. L. Rogers said Braun's letter evidently referred to a proxy given before that date, and referred to that held by Sherwood, there being none other before the committee on proxies. A. McDermont—If a person can carry a proxy around in his pocket and date it whenever it suits his convenience, the practice would defeat the very purpose for which they were given. All my proxies have been dated upon the day they were given. That, he thought, was the only just and honorable way to get a proxy. Mr. Carroll suggested that Braun be telephoned to regarding the matter. E. L. Kellogg was appointed to telephone Braun, but later reported that gentleman was not at his place of business, and had not yet reached his home. Meantime the meeting occupied itself with other proxy puzzles, and when Kellogg reported his inability to reach Braun the matter was taken up for discussion again. Chapman said Braun had evidently given his proxy to some one and his letter was written to revoke that proxy. It would seem the proxy was given before the letter was written, and if the date was filled in later it did not alter the fact that Braun wished to revoke it. Sherwood—This is a matter for the attorney to settle. As a matter of fact I did get this proxy before the letter was written and I filled in the date later myself. Attorney Melrose having been called in, said proxies should be dated upon the day on which they were given. A proxy bearing a date later than another carried with it the right to vote. After a further discussion Sherwood said he would relinquish his right to vote the stock. A proxy was offered by Sheppard from C. Allgeyer revoking one Crowther at an earlier date. It was technically inaccurate and was referred to the meeting for adjudication. Sheppard—Allgeyer gave me this BUSINESS MEN IN SESSION Annual Meeting of Chamber of Commerce Thursday Evening—New Board of Directors Elected. The annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held at the city hall Thursday evening, the purpose being the election of seven directors to serve during the coming year. There was a fair attendance and much interest was shown in the selection of those men who are to be at the head of the body for a year. The old board of directors first met and wound up its affairs, and after they had adjourned the meeting of members was called to order by Secretary Krick. Judge Howard was chosen temporary chairman and Mr. Krick secretary. Nominations for directors were called for and resulted in fifteen names being presented, the nominations including most of the active and progressive members of the board. The first ballot showed that the following seven men had received the highest number of votes, all having more than a majority: J. S. Howard, J. F. Ahlborn, C. A., Bissell, W. G. Sandilands, J. P. Hatzfeld, W. P. Butchinson and P. H Krick. Mr. Krick declined to accept a re-election, and it was then found that Frank Baum was next in number of votes received. He also declined to serve, and L. E. Miller was on motion unanimously elected to fill the vacant directorship. The new board was organized by unanimously electing Judge Howard president, C. A., Bissell vice-president and W. G. Sandilands secretary and treasurer. After the business session refreshments were served and about an hour was spent in disposing of them and in discussing plans for the improvement of the city. The Chamber of Commerce is in receipt of a letter from A. J. Cook of Pomona College stating that the last series of farmers' institutes are to be held in March and April, and that Anaheim may have one if it is desired. Favorable action will probably be taken at the next meeting. NAMES OF BRIGHT PUPILS Boys and Girls Who Stand at Head the street that the minority had found they had not stock sufficient to elect four, and that Kraemer had been asked to step down and out, in favor of Sheppard. Kraemer is reported to have said: "Gentlemen, you have got me into this fight, and I am going to stay to the end. I did not seek the place, but I am going to see it out." Both the new candidates (Chapman and Kraemer) were successful, the former succeeding Crowder and the latter Sheppard. After Kraemer's declaration to step aside there existed no chance for Sheppard. To make the matter worse for the latter gentleman, M. L. Rogers stepped in and took away from him his proxy of Mrs. Browning's 45 shares of stock. Sheppard seemed nettled during the afternoon session when a hundred stockholders filled the city hall. He said he had been treated discourously during the campaign; that the report had been spread abroad to the effect that he was going away, when he had no such intention at all. This statement had been printed in a Fullerton paper. There was not a word of truth in it, he said. "Proxies have been secured for this election," he said, "in particularly discoureous fashion. If you people want these proxies you are welcome." Chairman Crowther said proxies had been secured by the minority by practices which would not stand the light of day. Owing to the stack of proxies, which consumed so much time, it was 6 o'clock in the evening before nominations were called for. It was 8 before the votes of stock were cast and midnight before the result was finally announced. It was well along toward half past 10 when President Crowther rapped the meeting to order. There were a score of stockholders in the room, and it was remarked that never before in the history of the company were so few present. Secretary Krick called the roll, finding that 5379 shares were present. The chair announced that a quorum was present and that the meeting was ready for business. Minutes of the last annual meeting were read and approved. President Crowther read his annual report to the stockholders, which will be found printed in another column this morning. The following committee on proxies was appointed: W. L. Hale, Max Nebelung, A. W. Danforth. The meeting here adjourned, after being in session less than half an hour, to reassemble in the city hall. It was 4 o'clock when the meeting again came to order, the proxy committee having been unable to wade through the piles of proxies, numbering 431 parcels of stock before that hour. Meantime stockholders put in time upon the streets discussing the election for directors. It was conceived that not in years had so little apparent interest centered in the annual event, but under the surface it appeared that something was doing. Attorney Melrose having been called in, said proxies should be dated upon the day on which they were given. A proxy bearing a date later than another carried with it the right to vote. After a further discussion Sherwood said he would relinquish his right to vote the stock. A proxy was offered by Sheppard from C. Allgeyer revoking one given Crowder at an earlier date. It was technically inaccurate and was referred to the meeting for adjudication. Sheppard—Allgeyer gave me this proxy himself. Mr. Mills here was with me when I got it. Crowther (holding proxy)—Who was with you as a witness? Sheppard—Mr. Mills. Crowther—No body else? Sheppard—No sir. Crowther—Then this proxy bears an untruthful statement. It bears the signature of Sherwood as witness. This called forth a mild sensation and no little laughter interspersed with it. Crowther—I shall decide Crowther entitled to vote the proxy. Sheppard—We'll take a stock vote upon it. We'll stay here all night. Crowther—All right, we'll stay here all week if necessary. Finally Crowther relinquished his right to it and went to Sheppard. The proxy of Mrs. C. C. Brownto M. L. Rogers, revoking one given Sheppard, called forth another discussion. Mrs. Browning was telephoned to and awarded final proxy to Rogers. The report of the proxy committee occupied the time of the meeting until 6 o'clock. At that hour Sherwood offered an amendment to the by-laws prohibiting purchase or sale by the board of directors of property exceeding $2000 without the consent of two-thirds of the stockholders. This called out a lengthy discussion, which ended finally in referring the matter to the new board, with the understanding that it be called up for a stock vote within 60 days. Sheppard desired to have it understood that the new board would call for a stock vote upon the amendment. He knew of a petition bearing signatures of a majority of stockholders which was treated with rank discountes by the board. Zeyn said the petition referred to by Sheppard (about the merger) had never been presented to the board. Sheppard—Wasn't it? I thought it had been. Zeyn—No sir, it was not. Jake Stern here suggested that the meeting wait and see what kind of a board was elected, then adopt the amendment, if the new board was not a good one. Nominations for directors were called for and the following were placed in nomination: Geo. B. Key nominated A. S. Bradford, C. C. Chapman nominated W. Crowther, B. F. Porter nominated J. C. Shepard The Chamber of Commerce is in receipt of a letter from A. J. Cook of Poma College stating that the last series of farmers' institutes be to held in March and April, and that Anaheim may have one if it is desired. Favorable action will probably be taken at the next meeting. NAMES OF BRIGHT PUPILS Boys and Girls Who Stand at Head of Their Classes. HIGHTH GRADE. Standings of the pupils in the six main subjects.

It was 4 o'clock when the meeting again came to order, the proxy committee having been unable to wade through the piles of proxies, numbering 431 parcels of stock before that hour. Meantime stockholders put in time upon the streets discussing the election for directors. It was conceded that not in years had so little apparent interest centered in the annual event, but under the surface it appeared that something was doing. When the meeting again came to order Max Nebalung read the report of the proxy committee. The first proxy taken up was that of the Farmers' and Merchants' National Bank of Los Angeles, representing 25 shares, canceling proxy given Zeyn and awarding it to Sherwood, the latter proxy having been dated January 30th, while the former bore date January 5th. The second proxy was that of F. W. Braun, the Los Angeles druggist, which called out an interesting discussion and compelled an astonishing admission on the part of Sherwood. A letter was introduced in evidence from Braun to Mr. Hiatt, foreman of his ranch, revoking all other proxies and reading as follows: Los Angeles, Cal., January 5, 1904. Mr. H. C. Hiatt, Anaheim, Cal., Dear Sir;—In reply to yours of the 5th inst., I would advise that a few days ago I gave proxy to a party who was in here, and cannot at this moment recall the name of the party, but judging from your letter there is something doing, and doubtless on behalf of the Anaheim people; and being desirous of assisting you in every way possible, I hand you herewith proxy, which on the face of it shows that it revokes the proxy given at a previous date. I would recommend that you have filled in by the secretary what is required in the center of the proxy blank, and hope that the proxy will secure revoke for the Anaheim people. Yours very truly, (Signed) F. W. BRAUN. This revokes proxy given at a previous date. A proxy was offered by Sherwood covering the Braun stock, which amounts to 10 shares, bearing date January 29th. The proxy committee were unable to decide which proxy Zeyn—No sir, it was not. Jake Stern here suggested that the meeting wait and see what kind of a board was elected, then adopt the amendment, if the new board was not a good one. Nominations for directors were called for and the following were placed in nomination: Geo. B. Key nominated A. S. Bradford. C. C. Chapman nominated W. Crowther. B. F. Porter nominated J. C. Sheppard. Sydmer Ross nominated H. H. Hale H. McDermont nominated J. P. Zeyn. Sydmer Ross nominated Sam Kraemer. E. L. Kellogg nominated A. McDermont. A. Bierotti nominated C. C. Chapman. O. Des Granges nominated G. W. Sherwood. Balloting was at once taken up and proceeded while the long roll of stockholders was called. It was after midnight before the result was finally announced. The new board will meet on Saturday, when officers will be chosen, committees named and employees engaged for the coming year. Secretary Krick will have no opposition, nor will Superintendent Porter and Zanjeros Brunsworth, Stone and Parrott will probably be re-elected. A better set of officials would be hard to find. NEW LUMBER COMPANY Work upon the office building for the new lumber company will begin this week, lumber for which is expected today. The new yards will be located on Center street, east of Mr. Nemetz's residence and will run eastward to the cannery. Mr. Grim will be in charge of the works. McWilliams & Dunn have the contract for the office building. LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST Runaway on the Farm Ed Kraemer reports a runaway accident on his ranch at Placentia which for a time threatened serious results, but which terminated with little loss or injury to those taking part in it. A young man was engaged in harrowing the field when, in making too short a turn, the harrow was thrown against the horse's heels. They started to run, the harrow dangling behind them. Mr. Kraemer was at work near by preparing for irrigation. The horses ran for some distance when they were brought to a standstill by bringing up at a walnut tree, the horses being on opposite sides. The harness was broken, tugging one horse so that it was firmly held in tugs and lines. The other horse freed itself and ran for several miles, being finally caught near the Placentia schoolhouse. Except for several slight cuts and bruises it was unharmed. The harrow was uptilted against the tree and the harness had to go into the shop for repairs. Lost in Bank Failure A. B. Cowan negotiated with E. Drukker for purchase of the bowling alley and papers were signed, when it was discovered that the bank at Mt. Ayr, Iowa, in which he carried a deposit of $1200, had failed. Negotiations were temporarily suspended. Officers of the bank have issued a statement to effect that the institution would be able to pay depositors before long, and Mr. Cowan hopes to secure at least a part of his deposit. Bruce Ansum is also negotiating for the purchase of the bowling alley. Mr. and Mrs. Drukker contemplates returning to their home in Chicago. WITNESSED A BAPTISM Mr. and Mrs. N. Hart and Mrs. Strassheim of Chicago, who is visiting them, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Backs, drove to Anaheim Landing on Sunday for an outing. At the beach the party chartered a boat for a trip on the bay. While rowing about the waters their attention was attracted to the arrival of a large party on the beach. It was a wedding party from Westminsier. The bride to be had been brought to the seashore for immersion. The parson first waded out into the bay until he was waist deep in the water. Here he placed a pointed stick NEW FIRM Welborn and William Wallop have purchased the Mercereau grocery store and will henceforth conduct the same. The Wallop brothers are well known and popular young men and will without doubt make a success of their venture. They will conduct a first class establishment and solicit a share of the public patronage. Mr. Mercereau will move to Bolesa, where he conducts a store, as well as one at Garden Grove. He has been suffering with impaired health and contemplates a lengthy pleasure trip before settling down to business. BASEBALL. Olinda had little difficulty in defeating the Alles typographers of Los Angeles at Athletic park on Sunday afternoon. The score was 9 to 4, although it might had been more lopsided had the pirates from the foot hills been so minded. Next Sunday afternoon Tuft-Lyons of Los Angeles will contest with Olinda at Athletic park. The oil men have vanquished everything in sight, but a quiet tip has gone forth that the foreigners will skin them at Sunday's game. ACOSTA IMPROVING. Rafael Acosta, the young Mexican injured some weeks ago at San Bernardino, has improved so that consciousness has almost entirely returned. He is able to sit up in bed and converse with members of his family. His memory has not yet returned, and he has no recollection of the manner in which he sustained his injuries. Probably in a few days the injured man will be able to tell the story of the manner in which he was injured. NEW PIPE MANUFACTORY.

Hart and Mrs. Strassheim of Chicago, who is visiting them, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Backs, drove to Anaheim Landing on Sunday for an outing. At the beach the party chartered a boat for a trip on the bay. While rowing about the waters their attention was attracted to the arrival of a large party on the beach. It was a wedding party from Westminsier. The bride to be had been brought to the seashore for immersion. The parson first waded out into the bay until he was waist deep in the water. Here he placed a pointed stick and returned to the shore. The bride was then led over the same course and when she and the parson reached the appointed place she was immersed, after the approved fashion. Then steps were retraced to the shore. The lady was met by the groom, who greeted her with caresses, and the parson soon pronounced the words which made them one. The party in the boat reached a favored spot and saw the entire proceeding. It was the first time Mrs. Strassheim had ever seen the Pacific ocean, as well as the first immersion she had ever attended. NEW SIDEWALKS C. Schindler's force of mechanics yesterday completed the work of laying cement sidewalks on North Los Angeles street, from Chartres to Sycamore.

He emigrated to this country with his parents when a boy of about 12 years of age, and located at Shullsburg, Wis. About 18 years ago, deceased came to California.

HELENE FRANCES STEWART Helene Frances Stewart, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. V. Stewart, Jr., was born at Garden Grove, Iowa, January 4, 1897, died at Anahiem, Cal., Jan. 26, 1904, of membranous croup and pneumonia. God has taken one of our sweetest little girls home to live with Him and the angels. Helene Frances Stewart was born January 4, 1897, and passed away January 26th, 1904, aged 7 years and 22 days. The best effort and skill of four skilled physicians failed to stay the course of the disease. A competent nurse, who had herself lost a child from diphtheria, was by her night and day. All that love and money could do was done for the little sufferer. Her quiet patience was very pathetic and her determined struggles to live, and finally to live till Grandpa and Grandma Stewart arrived, touched the hearts of all the loving ones by her bedside. She lived just long enough to see and recognize the grandparents. She would prepare herself for the injection of the toxine, and when it was necessary at first to administer the toxine without ether, she made no complaiat. But about half past 10 Tuesday morning the angels came and quietly and gently closed her eyes. Her schoolmates say she was the sweetest little girl they ever know, and they beautifully decorated her little desk and sent a fine floral piece to her home. Loving friends and kind neighbors did all in their power for the sorrowing family and made them forget that they were "strangers in a strange land." For all these services, which are fully appreciated, the family are deeply grateful. The pastor of the Presbyterian church, Rev. W. H. Chapman, went with the sorrowing friends to lay the little body to rest. With comforting passages from the Bible and prayer, he quoted these beautiful verses from James Whitcomb Riley: I cannot say and I will not say She is dead. She is just away With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand She wandered away into the heavenly land, Peter Weisel's new $4500 residence at the corner of Los Angeles and Sycamore streets is ready for the plasterers, who will this week begin the work of lathing and plastering the structure. John Hanna was in town yesterday from Miraflores. He states that during his residence in this portion of the state since 1860, he never saw such dry weather, yet he looks for rain this month. W. H. Blennerhasset was down from Los Angeles on Saturday, with a sparkler in his shirt bosom that dazled the eye. He has just returned from a visit of several months' duration east. George A. Hunter went to Los Angeles on Saturday evening, to spend Sunday with relatives. He returned on Sunday evening and is this week operating his pumping plant to its full capacity. John Bush is able to be out again after a spell in bed with inflammatory rheumatism. He lost twenty-five pounds while indisposed and suffered severe pains, but is on the road to recovery again. At 7:30 p.m. Thursday the Rev. R. W. Cleveland from Los Angeles will speak in the series of prayer services that are being held in the Presbyterian church. It will be the last meeting held this week. George A. Hanley of Los Angeles called to pay respects and to discuss wind and weather and news of the day. Hanley was in town during the worst Santa Ana of the season and had a fill of it. Call again, Mr. Hanley. Mr. Botaford's touling automobile broke down on Tuesday, while on the way from San Joaquin to Los Angeles. The break occurred near Santa Ana. Yesterday Machinist Eaton repaired it and took it to Los Angeles. Members of the Presbyterian church are discussing the propriety of building a new church on lots nearer the center of town. Committees have the project in hand, and it is probable that a large and modern new edifice will be erected. Harvus Hale was in town on Tuesday procuring a wagon load of cement from the water company. Some days ago he replaced his windmill with an ene for raising water for domestic purposes. The cement will be used for foundation purposes. J.B.Neff went to San Jacinto on Thursday, accompanying Ezra Thompson, who has been visiting him for some weeks past. Mr. Thompson is troubled with rheumatism and goes to the higher altitude hoping to be benefitted by the change. Mr.Neff returned on Friday. Abraham B.Markle of Eureka has been chosen pastor of the Christian church and will preach his first sermon here on Sunday morning. The topic will be "A Model Sermon." Rev.Markle is a pulpit orator of force and eloquence, and will no doubt find work enough to do in this part of the vineyard. N.Hart went to Santa Ana Friday, ``` Royal Baking Powder saves Health and saves Money Colombia has become less warlike. Perhaps she feared the invasion of troops carrying a flag that is likely to stay put. The funeral will occur Thursday, February 4, 1904, at 2 p.m., from the home, near the Santa Fe depot. Deceased was a member of the Thirty-Third Wisconsin regiment, Company C, and served three years in the civil war. He enlisted at Shullsburg, Wis. Colombia has become less warlike.
