A party of a dozen young men of this city drove to Santiago canyon on Sunday for an outing. In the neighborhood of Villa Park two of the youths, animated by a spirit of fur, descended from the tally-ho and picking up two or three oranges which lay under the trees at the roadside, threw them at the rest of the party in the vehicle. A farmer of the name of Durfee at this point came running from his house calling to the youths to desist from trespassing upon his property and taking his oranges. He is said to have had a rock in each hand, and as he came up to the rig two of the occupants thereof alighted and a scuffle ensued, in which Durfee was struck in the face. The boys later continued on their way to the canyon, where they arrived in due season and spent the day. As they were returning about 4 o'clock they were met. a short distance this side the county park, by the Orange constable and numerous deputies having a warrant for their arrest, sworn to by Durfee. The boys submitted quietly to arrest, and were taken before Justice Chandler, where they pled not guilty and were released on bail. On Monday morning they again appeared in court, and the charge of assault was dismissed. A charge of disturbing the peace was substituted. To this boys pled not guilty. Their case will be heard by Judge Chandler Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. In the party were Murrey Paschall, Bobby Rimpau, Carl Zeus, Lory Allen, Dicky Nemetz, Herman Schindler, Carl Pressel, A. McAuley, L. Swope, J. Tyler, G. Tyler, Joe Holman, Holly and Henry Kimbly, the driver. The boys are members of excellent families, and were not intoxicated. Justice Chandler said in court they were not at all under the influence of liquor. The story as told by the boys is as follows: When the tally-ho arrived at Durfee's ranch one or two of the party alighted and picked up a few oranges lying on the ground and began throwing them at others in the vehicle. Director Bradford of the ditch committee reported having asked the Fullerton City Council for the needed right of way for the Welton ditch. He also reported progress on the matter of the Sparks ditch. The report of the treasurer was received and filed. It showed the cash in treasury on February 8th, the date of the resignation of C. E. Holcomb, to be $1567.42. The report of the board of audit was then received. It showed the report of the treasurer to correspond with the treasurer's account in the A. U. W. Co.'s ledger, as follows: Balance due the Company as per Treasurer book and report...$1567.42 Less outstanding warrants...269.57 Balance General Ledger A. U. W. Co...$1297.85 A report was presented to the board alleging that on February 10th, Mr. W. C. Mauerhan did interfere with the gates of this company, thereby turning the water from its proper course, etc. This matter was referred to director Zeyn. A communication from F. B. Tuffree asked that three gates be put in on the main ditch on his north line. Referred to the ditch committee. An application from Hugo Wetzel for privilege of purchasing five barrels of cement for use on his ranch for irrigating purposes was granted by the board.

Wagner, Joe Wagner, John Wagner, Mrs. Wm. Berkenstock, and Mrs. J. Ortega.

The finance committee was instructed to confer further with Supervisor Line-barger regarding the matter. A bid was received from J. A. Litten offering to do the street sprinkling for $2.95 per day for one team and sprinkling wagon. R. Fossek offered to do the work for $2.50 per day. The contract was awarded to R. Fossek. The street superintendent reported that the cement sidewalk on the east side of Los Angeles street, between Cypress and Sycamore streets, had been completed by Contractor Schindler to his satisfaction. The report was accepted. Application of Franke & Co. for permit for wholesale liquor license was granted. Application of F. Conrad for transfer of saloon license to Embunds & Cottle was granted. E. L. Steward was appointed city engineer during the pleasure of the board, with compensation fixed at the rate of $10 per day. Mr. Eymann spoke in favor of the establishment of a public park, and that due consideration be given to the matter of location. The location advocated (west of the Central public school) did not commend itself to him, as it was out of the way and could not be readily seen by strangers. He thought the land east of the Del Campo hotel was the proper site. It comprised about ten acres and could be bought for $3250. Judge Howard, from the Chamber of Commerce, spoke in favor of the establishment of a park. He stated the property west of the school house could be bought for $1800; that interested property owners had subscribed $360, to be applied on the purchase price. He also stated that a similar area of land near the hotel Del Campo could be had for $750. The matter was referred to the committee on public improvement for consideration. FOREIGN WALNUTS ARE INFERIOR Southern California Product Outclass French and Italian Importations. A sample of French and Italian walnuts has been forwarded the local walnut association by United States consuls in those countries, and have been placed by Mr. Rea on exhibition at Dickel's store. Samples include the well-known Grenoble nuts, as well as the French walnut, Naples and Marbott varieties. Thirty Orange county nuts weighed alongside the foreign importation show Dicky Nemetz, Herman Schindler, Carl Pressel, A. McAuley, L. Swope, J. Tyler, G. Tyler, Joe Holman, Holly and Henry Kimbly, the driver. The boys are members of excellent families, and were not intoxicated. Justice Chandler said in court they were not at all under the influence of liquor. The story as told by the boys is as follows: When the tally-ho arrived at Durfee's ranch one or two of the party alighted and picked up a few oranges lying on the ground and began throwing them at others in the vehicle. Durfee came up with a large stone in each hand. He swore at them and struck Nemetz, whereupon three of the larger boys struck him. He attempted to pick up a piece of wood, when Paschall placed his foot upon it, and that ended the trouble. The story printed in a Los Angeles paper that the boys tried to crowd a buggy off the grade is denied by them as being altogether without foundation in fact. The truth is there was no buggy on the grade when the tally-ho was going over. The boys all bear excellent reputations and regret the affair exceedingly. Durfee seems to have been the aggressor and himself to blame for the whole trouble. GOES BACK TO Colorado. Charles G. Smith, who came to Anaheim a few months ago and purchased the Scott place on North street, left some days ago for his former home in Colorado Springs, Col., to answer an indictment charging him with embezzlement. The allegation in the indictment is that Mr. Smith was concerned in the embezzlement of $30,000 belonging to the city of Colorado Springs, but he claims that he is entirely innocent, and those who are acquainted with the facts are convinced that Mr.Smith will have no difficulty in clearing himself. Before coming to this city Mr. Smith was city clerk of Colorado Springs,and during his term of office a shortage of $30,000 was discovered in the accounts Moved by Director Zeyn, seconded by Director Bradford, that the secretary be, and he is hereby authorized to employ assistance in the office on such days as board meetings are held. Carried. An idemnity bond was presented by C. C. Wagner, et al., in lieu of a certificate of twenty shares, and the board was petitioned to transfer the twenty shares as follows: Four shares to each of the following. C. C. Wagner, Joe Wagner, John Wagner. Mrs. Wm. Berkenstock, and Mrs. J. Ortega. Application granted and the bond accepted. Moved by Director Bradford, seconded by Director McDermont: RESOLVED, That the attorney be, and he is hereby instructed to procure from John D. Pope an opinion upon the legality of the election of Wm. Crowther as a member of the board of directors. Carried. Moved by Director Bradford, seconded by Director McDermont, that G. W. Sherwood be notified that his services as engineer for this company are no longer required, and that he refrain from completing any work for the company on which he may now be engaged. Carried. Applications for the transfer of stock were granted by the board. On motion, the meeting adjourned. P. H. KRICK, Secretary. ROSE PLANTS W. W. Parkins of McPherson has shipped to Rochester, N. Y., his fourth carload of rose plants for this season, making a total of over 250,000 plants sent out. He is making preparations to ship half a million plants next year to supply the growing market for California roses. Perkins has made a specialty of growing roses from clippings, raising them in the milder climate of California and sending them East for sale in more rigorous States, where the expense of starting and cultivating the tender plants is much greater.

Come and enjoy Mr. Patterson's singing. Southern California Product Outclass French and Italian Importations. A sample of French and Italian walnuts has been forwarded the local walnut association by United States consuls in those countries, and have been placed by Mr. Rea on exhibition at Dickel's store. Samples include the well-known Grenoble nuts, as well as the French walnut, Naples and Marbott varieties. Thirty Orange county nuts weighed alongside the foreign importation show the local product to weigh three ounces more than the foreign nuts. The local nuts are better filled and in every way superior to the imported varieties. The importations are fine looking nuts, but are lighter than Orange county nuts. They are attracting wide attention, and may be seen at Dickel's store. ROBBERY. Jos. Backs, Jr. reports the loss of a small sum of money taken from his wife's purse on Friday. He found the purse lying in an ash pile at the rear of the residence. Investigation showed that it had been taken from Mrs. Backs' room and $8 abstracted. The larceny is supposed to have occurred between 4 and 5 o'clock the preceding afternoon, when Mrs. Backs, while entertaining company, heard the rear screen porch door open. Later, while looking through a clothes closet, she found a quantity of artificial flowers which had probably been left there by the intruder. Mr. Backs has a tolerably fair idea as to the identity of the caller, and arrest may follow. DOLLY GRAY AND CRIPPS At Athletic park on Sunday afternoon Olinda will contest with Covins for honors. Dolly Gray, the well-known league pitcher, will deliver for the foreigners, while Cripps will be on the box for the oil men. It ought to be a great game.

The Scott place on North street, left some days ago for his former home in Colorado Springs, Col., to answer an indictment charging him with embezzlement. The allegation in the indictment is that Mr. Smith was concerned in the embezzlement of $30,000 belonging to the city of Colorado Springs, but he claims that he is entirely innocent and those who are acquainted with the facts are convinced that Mr.Smith will have no difficulty in clearing himself. Before coming to this city Mr. Smith was city clerk of Colorado Springs,and during his term of office a shortage of $30,000 was discovered in the accounts of the city treasurer. It was charged that Smith had a guilty knowledge of this shortage, and the indictment was brought against him on that basis, though it was never charged that he was an active participant in the embezzlement.The city treasurer was convicted and given a sentence of five years in the penitentiary,Mr. Smith being in the meantime out on bond.Mr. Smith's accounts as city clerk were found to be correct,but it is alleged that he had aided the treasurer in his peculations.Mr. Smith says that he will easily be able to prove his innocence of the charge.He was glad to go back,he said before leaving,and get a chance to vindicate himself.Mr. Smith has made many friends during his brief residence in Anaheim,and all are confident that he will come out on top in the legal fight he has voluntarily gone to meet. TAX DECISION The case of Justice vs. F. M. Robinson,Tax Collector of Orange County,which was argued before Judge Ballard four years ago and appealed to the Supreme Court,has been decided in favor of the defendant,affirming the decision of the lower court.The action was brought by Justice,a tax payer of the Bolsa drainage district,torecover district taxes,paid and allged by him in the complaint to be invalid because the act under which the district was organized was said to be unconstitutional and the organization irregular.The decision is an important one locally as it establishes the validity of the Bolsa drainage district andthe act under which it was organized,and thus affecting other districts that have since been formed,or are in process of organization. ON A SUNDAY PICNIC Durfee of Villa Park meals are Exchanged. LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST LOS ALAMITOS. The sugar company is now sending out notices to come in and get beet seed for planting.

That it practically makes sorghum fodder when sprinkled on straw, has been fully demonstrated. At the factory the brick walls are now rising for the building for the new Osmose plant. CITY JAIL. Some time ago the supervisors of Orange county offered to purchase a steel cell for the city jail here, providing the town purchased a suitable building for it. The city trustees recently announced their readiness to accept the offer, but the supervisors seem to have renigged. That body this week notified City Clerk Merritt that they were ready to appropriate $225 for the purchase of one steel cell. Inasmuch as the price of such article of commerce is $370, the city officials are wondering how the supervisors figure it. MISCREANT. Charles Federman discovered on Tuesday morning that some time during Monday night a miscreant slashed five of the awning ropes in front of his store. A tolerably accurate clew has been obtained by officers and arrest may follow. The miscreant who would stoop to such despicable acts ought to be severely punished. WOODMEN.

Head has rendered an opinion at the request of the Supervisors in the case of the Home Telephone Company, which recently constructed its lines into Orange county and over county roads without knowledge or consent of the board, doing the work by moonlight one Saturday night. In his opinion the District Attorney holds that the company had no right to come in and use the public highways without a franchise granted by the Supervisors, and that the United States Federal act under which the telephone company claimed to be working and which grants telegraph companies the free use of postal roads, is not applicable in this case. What action, if any, will be taken against the company has not yet been determined. NEW SCHOOL HOUSE. Th school trustees are considering the advisability of erecting a four-room school building near the center of town, to be used for primary pupils.
