CROWTHER STAYS H. C. KELLOGG TO SUCCEED SHERWOOD AS ENGINEER Recount of Vote Elects Crowther Over Chapman by Close Majority—All Old Employees to be Re-elected. A recount of votes cast at the annual election for directors of the water company January 30th, made at the meeting of the water board on Saturday afternoon, resulted in the election of Wm. Crowther over C. C. Chapman by an even twenty votes. At the annual election of stockholders on January 30th the return of tellers gave Mr. Chapman a majority over Mr. Crowther of eight votes. At this election the tellers came upon a ballot casting 21 votes for Chapman, while on the reverse side it bore the words "seven shares." Acting upon the hypothesis that the seven shares, representing 49 votes, should have been cast for Chapman, instead of the 21 votes written upon the ballot, the tellers, without warrant of authority, counted that number (49) for Chapman. Mr. Chapman was present at the meeting of the old board before it adjourned sine dite on Saturday, and said that if he were fairly elected he was ready to take his seat, but if he were not he would decline to accept the office. He brought up the ballot in question which gave him 21 votes, while the tellers gave him 49. He wished to have opinion of the company's attorney upon the matter. Attorney Melrose gave it as his opinion the tellers acted without authority in counting 49 votes for Chapman, even if the stockholder desired to vote his seven shares for that gentleman. He (the stockholder in question) might have been entitled to cast 49 votes, but this was not at all certain, and he might have been entitled to cast only 21. The seven shares might have been in themselves an error. At all events but 21 votes had been cast for Chapman, and this number, in his opinion, was all that gentleman should have received. McDermont moved that Crowther be instructed to put in the division gate. Yours truly, (Signed) O. E. MANSUR, Secy. On motion of Director Hale the secretary was instructed to inform the S. A. V. I. Co. that we do not wish to enter into any contract to put in a division gate at this time, as we think the superintendents can divide the water satisfactorily, and if not then the two boards cap. Carried. A communication from M. Nisson was filed. It asked to be informed as soon as possible of the new manager appointed by the A. U. W. Co. for the Durkee ranch; also asked that pay be collected from J. C. Sheppard for the hay bought from the ranch last summer. The secretary was instructed to notify him that the money had been paid and is in the bank. Engineer Sherwood reported progress on the right of way book he is preparing. The secretary reported to the board the result of the election for directors held at the annual stockholders' meeting to be as follows: That the candidates receiving the highest number of votes were A. S. Bradford, C. C. Chapman, A. McDermont, J. P. Zeyn, H. H. Hale, S. Kraemer and G. W. Sherwood. The following statement from Wm. Crowther was then presented to the board: Anaheim, Cal., Feb. 6, 1904. To the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Co.-Gentlemen: At the election for directors for said company, held at the annual meeting of stockholders on January 30, 1904, the result of the vote cast for Mr. C. C. Chapman and myself for members of said board was announced as follows: C. C. Chapman 5929 votes, Wm. Crowther 5918 votes. If such announced result is correct, then Mr. Chapman was elected a member of said board of directors and I was defeated. I am informed, however, that said vote was incorrectly announced and that the vote actually cast for Mr. Chapman was 5901. If this be true, then I, and not Mr. Chapman, was elected. The facts as reported to me are as follows: The tellers at said election drew from the ballot-box a ballot marked on the outside with the figure "7," denoting that the person casting said ballot was entitled to vote on seven shares of stock. On the inside of said ballot was written, "C. C. Chapman, 21." bulkheads and wings for same... 10.75 Used one and one-half barrels of cement at $2.85... 4.27 To labor on Anaheim headgate, boring holes, repairing standards, etc... 3.00 To repair banks of Main canal, east of big sand gate below Ruls house... 6.87 To repair Anaheim Main canal at old Smith place... 4.20 To clean and repair cement pipe, Chapman ranch... 1.75 To corking flumes 4, 7 and 8... 10.00 To repair crossing at Kosert place, Anaheim... 3.00 Used 4 bbl cement at $3... 2.25 Night watch at Main canal at sheep camp... 12.00 Night watch at head of ditch... 14.00 Night watch at big sandgate... 8.00 Total... $34.00 Total repairs... $234.94 CLEANING.

Attorney Melrose gave it as his opinion the tellers acted without authority in counting 49 votes for Chapman, even if the stockholder desired to vote his seven shares for that gentleman. He (the stockholder in question) might have been entitled to cast 49 votes, but this was not at all certain, and he might have been entitled to cast only 21. The seven shares might have been in themselves an error. At all events but 21 votes had been cast for Chapman, and this number, in his opinion, was all that gentleman should have received. McDermont moved that Crowther be declared elected. Seconded by Bradford. Sherwood and Hale protested against such action. They questioned the right of the board to pass upon the vote at the annual election. On a call for the question Crowther was declared elected, McDermont, Bradford and Zeyn voting aye, Sherwood and Hale no. Crowther thereupon took his seat upon the new board, being subsequently elected president of the board. Chapman retired, saying he was perfectly satisfied with the result. Secretary Krick's report of the meeting is as follows: Regular meeting of board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company with the following members present: Directors Crowther, Bradford, Hale, Sherwood, McDermont and Zeyn. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and approved. The report of the finance committee was adopted and filed and therein recommended. On motion a warrant was ordered drawn in favor of J. C. Sheppard for sum of $35 for salary and committee work and team work; also the sum of $10 in favor of H. C. Kellogg in payment of his bill. The report of the secretary was received and filed. The ditch committee asked and was granted further time on the Welton ditch. The committee also recommended that the Christlieb ditch be cemented. Further time was asked and granted on the Sparks ditch. Director Bradford also recommended that a measuring gate be put in at the corner of the old Esseck place on the Olinda ranch, and that a 16 inch pipe be put in for Wagner and Young. The report of the treasurer was received and filed. It showed cash in the treasury on February 1, 1904, to be $1201.55. A communication from C. Paulsen asked the privilege of connecting a pipe line between his cistern and the John Wagner ditch, he also to build a proper measuring gate if so desired; the same to be put in at his own expense and under the supervision of the company's superintendent. On motion the petition of C. Paulsen was granted. A similar petition from H. H. Hale asked like privileges as did C. Paulsen and made the same offer. On motion granted. The following applications for the privilege of purchasing cement were granted by the board: H. H. Hale, It still announced results is correct, then Mr. Chapman was elected a member of said board of directors and I was defeated. I am informed, however, that said vote was incorrectly announced and that the vote actually cast for Mr. Chapman was 5901. If this be true, then I, and not Mr. Chapman, was elected. The facts as reported to me are as follows: The tellers at said election drew from the ballot-box a ballot marked on the outside with the figure "7," denoting that the person casting said ballot was entitled to vote on seven shares of stock. On the inside of said ballot was written, "C. C. Chapman, 21." Under a mistaken belief of their powers, said tellers erased, or marked over, the figures "21" on said ballot and inserted the figures "49," and counted 49 votes on said ballot for Mr. Chapman instead of only 21 votes, thus giving to Mr. Chapman 28 votes to which he was not entitled, and giving him in the total eleven votes more than was cast for me, whereas the fact is that I received 17 more votes than Mr. Chapman. I therefore respectfully ask that you will hear the evidence of said tellers in regard to the change made in said ballot, and the evidence of any other person who may be cognizant of the facts in the case, and if the facts here stated are found to be true that you declare that at said election I received more votes than Mr. Chapman and that at said meeting I was elected a member of the board of directors of said corporation for the ensuing year. Respectfully, (Signed) WM. CROWTHER. Mr. Chapman stated that he had supposed that he had been elected a director, and if he had been fairly elected he was present to take his seat on the board. However, he would not feel justified in accepting the position by any clerical error or the giving to him of votes by the tellers to which he was not entitled. He, however, demanded proof that such was the case. George B. Key, one of the tellers, explained that he remembered distinctly a ballot of 7 shares, Chapman 21 votes, which the tellers regarded as an error and raised to 49 votes for Chapman. Fred Rimpau, another teller, stated the same facts. Secretary Krick also stated that although he was not one of the tellers he too was keeping a careful tally of the votes cast and that he noticed that one ballot was raised from 21 votes to 49 votes and so counted for Mr. Chapman. A full discussion of the situation was then entered into, after which the following resolution was moved by Director McDermont, seconded by Director Bradford, and duly adopted: Whereas, It appears from the testimony of Mr. Key and Mr. Rimpau, who acted as tellers at the election held on January 30, 1904, and also by the testimony of Mr. Bradford and Secretary Krick, that said tellers altered a ballot on which was written 21 votes for Mr. Chapman to 49 votes for said Chapman; and by reason of such change in said ballot the total vote cast for Mr. Chapman was stated to be 5929 votes, whereas in fact the total vote cast for him was actually 5901 votes, and. Whereas, It appears that William Crowther received at said election 5918 votes, which was 17 more votes than cast for Mr. Chapman, therefore it bridge south of E.

Rain fell Thursday night to the extent of .74 of an inch, breaking the long period of drought which had lasted since October 1st. During the afternoon there existed indications of rain, and as night came on it seemed the long looked for dampness was at hand. It was not until 9 o'clock that the first showers fell, quickening shortly into a deluge. The precipitation was heavy during several hours, and showers fell at intervals until the morning hours. Friday opened with cloudy skies but no rain fell until half-past 5 in the afternoon continuing with copious showers until midnight. The predipitation during the night amounted to .56 of an inch, making total for storm 1.30 inches. Precipitation to date last year 7.88 inches. The rain was of great value to grainmen and orchardists. It has started grain to growing and has been of great benefit to pastures and ranges. A little more of it this month, followed by timely showers in March and April, and the dry weather croaker will cease his doleful speculations. Eberhart-Darling. At the residence of Mr. and Mrs T. A. Darling on Lemon street, Monday afternoon, Miss Rosalie Helen Darling was joined in wedlock to Albert H. Eberhart. Rev. Chapman of the Presbyterian church performed the ceremony and Mrs. Chapman played the wedding march from Mendelsohn. The bride was attired in a handsome blue traveling suit. Members of the family and a limited number of invited friends were present and at conclusion of the ceremony the happy couple were showered with congratulations. A bountiful wedding repast was partaken of. The happy couple took the evening train for San Francisco, where the honeymoon will be spent. Friends at the depot showered bride and groom with rice; and their leave-taking was accompanied by hearty wishes on the part of all for a life of wedded bliss full of happiness and prosperity. Maynard's Heavy Sentence. The second trial of Maynard, charged with forging the name of Supt. Porter to time checks on the Anaheim-Union asked the privilege of connecting a pipe line between his cistern and the John Wagner ditch, he also build a proper measuring gate if so desired; the same to be put in at his own expense and under the supervision of the company's superintendent. On motion the petition of C. Paulsen was granted. A similar petition from H. H. Hale asked like privileges as did C. Paulsen and made the same offer. On motion granted. The following applications for the privilege of purchasing cement were granted by the board: H. H. Hale, two barrels for a cistern; C. Paulsen, two barrels for a cistern; H. Wetzel, four barrels for pipe. On motion the action of the secretary in selling cement to H. H. Hale and C. Paulsen during the month of January without instructions from the board was approved. The report of H. Clay Kellogg on measurements made by him on January 25, 1904, in the S. A. V., I. Co.'s canal, and also in the A. U. W. Co.'s canal, was received and filed. It showed the water in the A. U. W. Co.'s canal to be 2385 inches and in the S. A. V. I. Co.'s canal 2420 inches. A communication from Gilkensen & Manchester, employment agents of Los Angeles, was received and filed. A communication from Spreckles Bros was received and filed. A communication from Fred H. Bixby made an appointment to meet our superintendent on the Bixby ranch and decide on the location of a bridge across the Cajon canal. Mr. Porter, the superintendent, explained that he had met Mr. Bixby since the letter was written. The following communication was received from the S. A. V. I. Co.: Orange, Cal., Jan. 25, 1904. P. H. Krick, Secy. A. U. W. Co., Anaheim, Cal.-Dear Sir. At a meeting of our board of directors this a.m. the following resolution was on motion adopted: Whereas, The Anaheim Union Water company has found fault with the division of the water by the two upper zanjeros, and that the said company took forceable possession of the division of the water without consulting this company, therefore the superintendent be and he is hereby instructed to secure an equitable division of the water, and in case of failure to do so he Whereas, It appears from the testimony of Mr. Key and Mr. Rimpau, who acted as tellers at the election held on January 30, 1904, and also by the testimony of Mr. Bradford and Secretary Krick, that said tellers altered a ballot on which was written 21 votes for Mr. Chapman to 49 votes for said Chapman; and by reason of such change in said ballot the total vote cast for Mr. Chapman was stated to be 5929 votes, whereas in fact the total vote cast for him was actually 5901 votes, and. Whereas, It appears that William Crowther received at said election 5918 votes, which was 17 more votes than cast for Mr. Chapman, therefore be it. Resolved, That Wm. Crowther be and he is hereby declared a member of the board of directors for the ensuing year, and that Mr. Chapman was not elected a member of said board at said election. H. H. Hale asked to be placed on record as voting against this resolution, for the reason that he did not know that the board has power to vote and change the announced result of the election. G. W. Sherwood also demanded to be placed on record as voting against the resolution, for the reason that he denies the power of the board of directors to change the returns of the election board appointed by the stockholders. On motion of A. McDermont, seconded by H. H. Hale, the board adjourned sine die. P. H. Krick, Secy.

Maynard's Heavy Sentence. The second trial of Maynard, charged with forging the name of Supt. Porter to time checks on the Anaheim Union Water company, was begun in Superior Court Tuesday of last week and consumed several days. The jury was composed of Mit Phillips, D. L. Hart, T. E. Niles, W. L. Tubbs, Bert Annin, John E. Hart, D. J. Bartley, J.C. Williams, J.A.Engle, W.S.Taylor, J.D.Wilder and Joseph Holtz. The case was given to the jury on Thursday and in a short time returned a verdict of guilty. On Saturday Judge West sentenced Maynard to ten years at Folsom prison. Maynard acknowledged his guilt to Sheriff Lacy just before he was taken aboard the train en route to Folsom to serve a ten years sentence. Maynard told the sheriff he was not alone in it, but that another one of the company's employees was associated with him. He refused to divulge the man's name, saying he was far away from here. An investigation will be made. Savings Bank. A number of Fullerton's business men and orchardists met in that town this week and took steps toward establishing a new savings bank for Fullerton, and the institution is now assured. The bank will incorporate with a capital stock of $50,000, all to be subscribed by residents of Fullerton. A well-known resident of Los Angeles who was at the meeting will probably be the president or cashier and will move to Fullerton. Assemblyman Amerige has agreed to build a brick building for the bank. It pays to feed Prussian Stock Food; as a fat and flesh former it cannot be beaten; also keeps stock in healthy condition.
