DAUSER OBJECTS OPPOSES CEMENT SIDEWALKS COSTING HIM $900 Counsel Declines to Recind Its Action, and Sidewalks Will Be Constructed — Maxwell Resigns as Library Trustee. Trustee Fletcher tried his hand at presiding over the deliberations of the city council on Tuesday evening, in the absence of Mayor Rust, who departed on that day for Alaska, to be gone two months. If there is one thing more than another Mr. Fletcher admits knowing nothing whatever about it is presiding at meetings, as from earliest childhood he has been subject to acute attacks of buck ague. However his associate members of council are persuaded that Fletcher means well, even though he tries to adjourn the meeting before new business, and with patience and perseverance they hope to make of him one of the best presiding officers who ever wielded a gavel. Mayor Rust treated his associates rather discourteously, so some of them expressed themselves, in leaving the city and not informing the board of his intention of going away, or of asking for leave of absence. When the meeting was called to order there were present Trustees Fletcher, Tyler and Berdrow. Trustee Darling was sidetracked some distance down the line. He failed to whistle for signals, and when he did not show up at the meeting someone suggested that the wrecking train be sent after him. On motion of Berdrow, seconded by Tyler, Fletcher was called upon to preside. The meeting was the shortest held by council this year, but was well worth attending, if for nothing else than Fletcher's grand and lofty tumbling over the rules of debate, putting the question and various other matters of procedure. But the new presiding officer promises to be good hereafter. his property be laid over for a year or so. Fletcher said if the trustees could exclude one property-owner from putting in walks, they would have to do so all over town. The trustees intended constructing sidewalks upon only two sides of the block in question, so the cost would not be so large. Dauser said he was not sure but the council would order sidewalks on the other two streets in the near future. Berdrow said sidewalks were expensive to everybody, but he favored them. If the board excluded one man from building them, all would have to be excluded. It would be unjust to exclude one and require neighboring property owners to build them. Others had put in cement sidewalks and had thus increased the value of Dauser's property, and it was no more than right that Dauser should follow the same course. Tyler said new sidewalks showed a progressive city. He favored new walks. If counsel let down the bars for one property-owner it would have to do the same for everyone. He wanted to see the city go ahead and have sidewalks on every street near the center of the city. Fletcher—What action shall be taken upon this request of Mr. Dauser? There was no response on the part of the two other members. City Attorney Melrose smoked and looked at the ceiling, evidently thinking of the senatorial situation. City Clark Merritt removed his spectacles and looked far, far away, evidently thinking about an increase in his salary. Marshal Steadman leaned back in his morocco-covered arm-chair smoking, evidently having forgotten all about the recent election. Young Mr. Hopper of the esteemed contemporary smiled and looked as if he wished the Fourth of July were here. Fletcher—If no action is to be taken, adjournment is in order. Berdrow moved to adjourn, seconded by Tyler and carried. And so it was that the spirit of progress prevailed, and that new sidewalks will be constructed upon all inside streets. TWO REPORTS OF A KILLING. BISHOP CONATY CONFIRMED CLASS OF NOVITIATES St. Boniface Church Filled With Large Congregation to Listen to Words of the Distinguished Prffate. Bishop Conaty preached to a large gathering at St. Boniface church on Sunday morning, the occasion being the anniversary of the dedication of the church and the confirmation of numerous class of communists. The Bishop, in opening, said he was grateful to again address the people of this parish, for the church was the first one he was privileged to dedicate in coming to this diocese. From time to time since then he had heard good reports of the condition of the parish from the pastor, and was glad to know it was in such flourishing condition. Referring to the graces of confirmation he said that if he had been bearing pieces of gold, or gifts of land, the members of the class of novitiates would acclaim him kind indeed for his acts of goodness. But gold and land are, after all mere creations of God, while the blessed sacrament of confirmation was the filling of the soul with God's love and goodness and the spirit of the holy ghost for time everlasting. He referred to what God would expect of those of his faith on judgment day, and counseled all, both young and old, to remember the sacrament of their confirmation. When the class had been confirmed the Bishop said he hoped the little boys and girls would ever guard against the evil of intemperance. It was nearly fifty years, he said, that he, as a little boy, had taken the same pledge, and he therefore, was not asking the class to do any more than he had himself. He dwelt upon the curse of intemperance, and later the class repeated the pledge to abstain from intemperance during their lifetime. The bishop spoke for nearly an hour with that easy flow of language with which he is familiar. His sermon was ling was sidetracked some distance down the line. He failed to whistle for signals, and when he did not show up at the meeting someone suggested that the wrecking train be sent after him. On motion of Berdrow, seconded by Tyler, Fletcher was called upon to preside. The meeting was the shortest held by council this year, but was well worth attending; if for nothing else than Fletcher’s grand and lofty tumbling over the rules of debate, putting the question and various other matters of procedure. But the new presiding officer promises to be good hereafter. Berdrow reported for the finance committee announcing the approval of bills to amount of $97.30. Also, reporting for the committee on public improvements, Berdrow announced that water connections had been put in for Dr. Johnston’s new residence, the Presbyterian church and elsewhere, that poles had been erected for new electric lights on Palm, West, Center and other streets, and that city teams were hauling gravel. Both reports were approved and ordered filed. Attorney Melrose, reporting as a special committee in the matter of the Metz block projecting 15 inches into the street, reported that Mr. Daniels, attorney for N. Hart, executor of the estate, had telephoned that gentleman that further consideration of the matter be deferred to some future time; a search of the records was being made to determine whether the strip in question had ever been deeded to the city. The matter went over without action. A. W. Maxwell addressed the board, saying that on account of his coming departure from the city he desired to tender his resignation as member of the library trustees. On motion of Berdrow, seconded by Tyler, the resignation was accepted and communication ordered to the file. Capt. Stern addressed a communication to the board relative to coming national grand encampment. Filed. E. H. Adams, assistant engineer at the power-house, whose salary was recently raised $5 per month, wrote expressing his thanks for the raise, adding "every little helps." Berdrow observed, after the reading, that Adams was a gentleman, all right. Tyler was of opinion the letter showed Adams in good light, and the latter came in for several flattering references. Now is the time for him to strike for another raise. Bills to the amount of $97.30 were ordered paid. The board was here about to adjourn, when the eagle-eyed chairman observed Joseph Dancer seated in the dress circle, and politely inquired if the council could do anything for him. Mr. Dancer said he had come to ascertain whether a protest of citizens had been filed with the board against construction of sidewalks on certain streets. He was informed that no such protest had been submitted to the board. Dancer then expressed himself as being contemporary smiled and looked as if he wished the Fourth of July were here. Fletcher—If no action is to be taken, adjournment is in order. Berdrow moved to adjourn, seconded by Tyler and carried. And so it was that the spirit of progress prevailed, and that new sidewalks will be constructed upon all inside streets. TWO REPORTS OF A KILLING. Arthur Sanchez of Yorba Loses Life by Gunshot Wound—Dominguez Contradicts Himself. Arthur Sanchez of Yorba, the twelve-year-old son of J. F. Sanchez, the well-known resident of that place, was shot and instantly killed while hunting with a companion named J. Dominguez in the foothills near Peralta on Thursday afternoon last. First reports were that the youth met death by the accidental discharge of his gun, but later facts elicited show that Dominguez fired the fatal shot, whether by accident or design does not appear. Sanchez was shot in the head, his entire face being torn away. The parents of the unfortunate youth were at once notified and the body brought to Yorba, where Coroner Smith held an inquest. A coroner’s jury was empaneled and Dominguez testified that Sanchez, while pausing to engage him in conversation, had sustained the shot which ended his life from his own gun. He said Sanchez stood with his hands upon his shotgun, which partially leaned toward him, pointing to his head. In some manner, he continued, the gun was discharged, tearing away the lad’s face and killing him instantly. The jury returned a verdict that the youth had come to his death by a gunshot wound, inflicted in some manner to them unknown. On Saturday Dominguez told a different story regarding the affair, and the authorities were notified. Dominguez confessed that he had accidentally killed Sanchez while the two were hunting. His story is that the two were in the foothills looking for rabbits, when Sanchez, who was some distance ahead of him, called to him to load his gun quickly and come ahead. As Dominguez sought to place a shell in his gun it exploded, the charge striking Sanchez and inflicting a fatal wound. The funeral occurred at Yorba on Saturday. Young Sanchez was to have been confirmed at St. Boniface church on Sunday. The Dominquez youth will not be prosecuted owing to his youth, he being 11, and the improbability of securing a conviction. Baseball. The Young America’s baseball team made a trip to Pacific City to play that teamed contemporary smiled and looked as if he wished the Fourth of July were here. Fletcher—If no action is to be taken, adjournment is in order. Berdrow moved to adjourn, seconded by Tyler and carried. And so it was that the spirit of progress prevailed, and that new sidewalks will be constructed upon all inside streets. TWO REPORTS OF A KILLING.

Young Sanchez was to have been confirmed at St. Boniface church on Sunday. The Dominquez youth will not be prosecuted owing to his youth, he being 11, and the improbability of securing a conviction. United States Artillery. A company of United States artillery, 109 strong, passed through town on the Santa Fe on Monday evening, from San Diego to Washington, where they will relieve an infantry detachment. The company was under command of Lieut. McComish. It occupied a special train of three tourist sleepers. The train stopped at Santa Ana for orders and many of the artillerymen... Bills to the amount of $97.30 were ordered paid. The board was here about to adjourn, when the eagle-eyed chairman observed Joseph Dauser seated in the dress circle, and politely inquired if the council could do anything for him. Mr. Dauser said he had come to ascertain whether a protest of citizens had been filed with the board against construction of sidewalks on certain streets. He was informed that no such protest had been submitted to the board. Dauser then expressed himself as being opposed to a sidewalk on Hermine street, where he owns an unoccupied block of land, around which the city purposes constructing sidewalks, on two sides at present and on the other sides at some time in the future. He said he saw no necessity for the projected sidewalk on Hermine street. Walks on four sides of his block would cost him $000, and this money he would have to borrow. He recently paid $50 for the construction of a pipe line on the north side of the property to replace an open ditch. To this he had made no objection, but he did not favor the sidewalk. Fletcher said that one idea on the part of council in ordering sidewalks was that they would tend to advance the price of property along those streets where they were laid. Dauser said the sidewalks around his block would add $50 to the cost of each lot in the tract, and he doubted if he could ask $10 more for each one on account of the sidewalk. He contended that prospective buyers had rather purchase a lot with no sidewalks in front of it and build such walks afterward. Fletcher said that in neighboring cities sidewalks were going in on every side. He thought Anaheim had caught the spirit, and he opposed any proposition to interfere with the charlot wheels of progress. At San Pedro people had at first loudly protested against sidewalks and had indulged in loud lamentations against them. But they soon recovered, and when they saw how walks had increased the value of property and enhanced the prospects of the town, they ran their legs off chasing trustees and beseeching them to order in walks on almost every street in town. Dauser asked that the walk around minguez sought to place a shovel in gun it exploded, the charge striking Sanchez and inflicting a fatal wound. The funeral occurred at Yorba on Saturday. Young Sanchez was to have been confirmed at St. Boniface church on Sunday. The Dominquez youth will not be prosecuted owing to his youth, he being 11, and the improbability of securing a conviction. Baseball. The Young America's baseball team made a trip to Pacific City to play that team and were defeated by a score of 2 to 1. Both sides played league ball. The Y. A.'s started things in a rush in the first innning. C. Fisher started the ball rolling with a hit to center and was followed by a hit by Lewis to deep left which brought in the first score. Pacific City's team did not get a run until the seventh when two hits netted one run. Then to the ninth it was a pitchers battle, with honors even. In the ninth Lewis secured a hit but was caught off first which left the boys without a run. In their half the beach boys secured a run by a scratch hit, a sacrifice and a safe single to left. But the Y. A.'s promise to win back the lost honors in a return game. Pard Mallet and Joe Mefford, two old timers comprised the batteries for Pacific City while Dickel and Fisher composed Anaheim's batteries. Fielding was sensational at times on both sides. The Young America's challenge all amateur teams around Anaheim; no one excepted. There will be a game on the Anaheim grounds next Sunday between Garden Grove and Y. A. Brewery Incorporated The Union Brewing Company of this city filed articles of incorporation this week with capital stock of $50,000, of which $5,000 is subscribed in equal amounts by the five directors. The directors for the first year are Anton Hessel and Eva Hessel of Los Angeles; and John Bauer, William Fluhrer and Tony Hessel of this city. Brewing operations are now in progress, and beer will be on the market in August. New machinery has been installed at a cost of $35,000. A lt new owners promise a brew that will compare favorably with the bus. Eastern output. United States Artillery. A company of United States artillery, 109 strong, passed through town on the Santa Fe on Monday evening, from San Diego to Washington, where they will relieve an infantry detachment. The company was under command of Lieut. McComish. It occupied a special train of three tourist sleepers. The train stopped at Santa Ana for orders and many of the artillerymen alighted and engaged in conversation with those at the depot. The boys were dressed in Khaki uniforms, with the usual red coloring denoting the artillery. They were an intelligent and fine appearing company, and attracted no little attention. Several of the men busied themselves in carrying buckets full of water from the depot faucet to water coolers aboard the cars. As the train pulled out an old greybeard inquired with evident interest: "Are these men ball players?" When informed the men composed a company of Uncle Sam's artillery he looked surprised. The soldiers evidently made a base hit with the old man. Was a Napoleon of Finance? Young Dr. Murphy who sneaked out of town a few weeks ago, was, it developed, more of a dead beat than even his most ardent admirers fondly imagined. It turns out that he was a very Napoleon of finance. He owed the painter for his elegant gilt sign, owed nearly every grocery store in town, he owed the druggist, he owed the telephone company, the livery stables, the butcher, the baker and candlestick maker. The amounts were small in each instance, none of them aggregating more than $10, so far as heard from. Murphy used to boast that he did not get out of bed before 11 o'clock, but creditors who rang his doorbell after that hour and secured no response aver they heard him tiptoeing to the front bay win dow, to take a peep from behind the lace curtain, and one or two declare they caught a glance of him in the peeping act. Murphy was a star performer—the best Anaheim has seen in years. CONATY CONFIRMS CLASS OF NOVITIATES Grace Church Filled With Large Congregation to Listen to Words of the Distinguished Prfflate.
