AN EVEN BREAK MELROSE AND ANDERSON DIVIDE HONORS. Senatorship Will Be Settled at Orange on Saturday—Amerige Defeats Freeman. A split-even between Melrose and Anderson, with chances favoring the former, was the net result of one of the prettiest political fights ever fought in Orange county. Anderson took the first two tricks in the republican county convention at Santa Ana on Saturday, when he elected his delegates at large by a narrow margin. The second round of the fight will be pulled off at Orange on Saturday next. Melrose is coming up strong, having cleverly sidestepped an offer on Anderson's part to go into caucus at Santa Ana immediately after adjournment of the convention. Inasmuch as Melrose did not get a look-in at the county seat he refused to go into caucus, preferring some other time and place. Anderson, on the other hand, has since adjournment of the convention shown visible signs of distress. It would not surprise the boys who follow the game to see at least three of the delegates claimed by him foretake him on the first ballot. Amerige defeated Freeman for assemblyman handily by a vote of 138 to 53. The congressional delegation favors Smith, although it is said Ward will get some of the delegates, some placing his number as high as six. It was 10:10 when Chairman Williams of the central committee called the convention to order, saying it was the best looking convention ever assembled in Orange county. "I hope you are as good as you look," he continued, "and if you are we shall have an old-fashioned love-feast here today." It was a political love-feast, but there were several bombshells exploded during the day. Nate Ulm read the call for the meeting. W. B. Williams of Santa Ana placed J. W. Duckworth in nomination for chairman. Duckworth was nominated by acclamation. He made a good presiding officer, but at times exhibited signs of the buck ague. Dr. C. D. Ball. H. A. Dickel nominated Wm. G. Potter. A Santa Ana delegate nominated Jerome Folsom. Clyde Bishop nominated Al Harlin. The vote resulted: Ball 112, Folsom 105, Harlin 94, Potter 89. This was first blood for Anderson, and the Santa Ana boys set up a yell that was beautiful to bear. Cries of "Ball!" "Ball!" filled the air, and in response a smallish individual made his way with difficulty to the platform, and in a squeaky voice and trembling frame shrieked out the following: "Gentlemen of the convention: Here in Santa Ana last night we held a caucus and decided to stand by John Anderson for senator. And this vote makes it certain that he will be the nominee of this convention, and he will be elected to the office!" Ball tiptoed back to his seat and the Santa Ana boys howled their delight. On motion of Walker the election of Ball and Folsom was made unanimous. R. Y. Williams and Nels Edwards were chosen by acclamation delegates to the State and Congressional convention. The convention here divided into five supervisor district conventions for selection of delegates to Senatorial, Congress, and State conventions: District No. 3 was called to order by Melrose, who was chosen chairman. P. H. Krick was elected secretary. S. O. Walker and Herman Dickel were chosen unanimously for delegates to the Senatorial convention. For delegates to the State and Congress convention J. C. Burke and J. W. Duckworth were nominated. It was known that C. C. Chapman was desirous of being a delegate to the convention, but his name was not presented. Burke and Duckworth were elected without opposition. Following is the complete list of delegates elected: FIRST DISTRICT. State and congressional—N. A Ulm, W. M. Scott. Senatorial — R. W. Mead, F. W. Mansur. SECOND DISTRICT. State and congressional—R. B. Mitchell, A. Philbrick. Senatorial—T. E. Niles, W. A. Newberry. THIRD DISTRICT. State and congressional—J. W. Duckworth, J. C. Burke. DEATH VALLEY, FURNACE CREEK, NOT INAPTLY NAMED Party of Local Surveyors Pass Within Short Distance of Sorenson's Grave—Trail of Death. Ed Zeus who returned some days ago from Death Valley states his party of surveyors passed within a short distance of the grave of Mr. Sorenson, formerly of this city, who perished on the desert a number of years ago. Sorenson died from thirst and the excessive heat, although he passed within a few yards of a spring for which he was searching. He had set out across the mountains to locate timber, and followed a trail which led into Death Valley. He went straight to the spring, but unfortunately took another trail and missed it by 40 yards. His footsteps showed that he wandered about in search of water. When finally he could go no further he built a house of yuccas to protect himself from excessive heat. Here he kept a diary, noting the impression of each day. He detailed his thoughts during that awful day in which, step by step, the destroyer approached. The last entry read: "If I am found today I may be saved." His lifeless body was found the following day by rescuers who alarmed at his failure to return, had set out to look for him. Sorenson's death marks one of the sad tragedies of this silent and trackless waste. He took his life in his hands as he started over the trail, leaving his companions behind him. He passed within a few steps of the spring which he sought, but yielding to the excessive heat and lack of water he could not find it. Even though the precious draught was yet so near, He could not return to camp. He wandered about aimlessly. Then, building the yucca hut, he lay down to die, detailing his awful thoughts as death approached. He was buried where he died, and the mound is pointed out to travelers as the last resting place of a brave and dauntless spirit who perished at the very side of the spring where life and succor lay. Death Valley is aptly named. In the vicinity where the surveyors were at work a packhorse came straggling up, crazy for water. It was given water and followed back to camp, where five men were found, almost dead of thirst. They were given water and taken to of the central committee called the convention to order, saying it was the best looking convention ever assembled in Orange county. "I hope you are as good as you look," he continued, "and if you are we shall have an old-fashioned love-feast here today." It was a political love-feast, but there were several bombshells exploded during the day. Nate Ulm read the call for the meeting. W. B. Williams of Santa Ana placed J. W. Duckworth in nomination for chairman. Duckworth was nominated by acclamation. He made a good presiding officer, but at times exhibited signs of the buck ague. The evening before the convention Santa Ana delegates caucused on the chairmanship. They decided to ask C. C. Chapman to enter the lists against Duckworth. Chapman had had the matter under consideration during the afternoon, but as the caucus called him up by telephone to find out the result of his deliberations, he declined. Then the caucus suggested the name of W. M. Scott of Santa Ana for the place. Scott jumped up, frothing at the mouth, with hands in air and protested. "It would never do," he said, "for Santa Ana to put a man into the running." The country boys would then have ground for charging us with being hogs, and we aint no such thing." The caucus continued in session several hours, and finally decided to offer no opposition to Duckworth. Of course the real reason for not putting up an opposing candidate was lack of votes owing to the dry year. Duckworth took the platform amid applause. He thanked the convention for the honor conferred upon him. T. C. Gould of Santa Ana was elected secretary. On motion of Melrose committees of five each were appointed on resolutions and platform, permanent organization and order of business and credentials. A recess of fifteen minutes was taken, and on reconvening the chairman announced the following gentlemen as having been selected: Credentials—N. Ulm, John Snover, H. S. Tubbs, J. B. Rea, D. Gockey. Permanent Organization and Order of Business—Wm. Mitchell, Francisco Shanley, Wm. A. Newberry, Nels Edwards, John Landell. Resolutions—W. B. Williams, H. A. Dickel, W. J. Harlin, Gustavus Stern, R. P. Marquez. As Mrs. Katzenjammer would say, "Such a beautiful committee." The convention here adjourned to half past 1. The committee on credentials had its hands full during the noon hour. A contesting delegation from Fullerton appeared before it, but it decided not to go behind the returns. Accordingly the Amerige delegates were seated. Mit Phillips sat in the foyer of a noted caravansary and smoked and talked politics and laughed. He was one of the Santa Ana delegates, saved from the slaughter and was feeling happy. "There's going to be some fun in the convention this afternoon, I guess." And he laughed again. But nobody takes Mit seriously, but he was following is the complete list of delegates elected: FIRST DISTRICT. State and congressional convention—N. A Ulm, W. M. Scott. Senatorial — R. W. Mead, F. W. Mansur. SECOND DISTRICT. State and congressional—R. B. Mitchell, A. Philbrick. Senatorial—T. E. Niles, W. A. Newberry. THIRD DISTRICT. State and congressional—J. W. Duckworth, J. C. Burke. Senatorial — S. O. Walker, H. A. Dickel. FOURTH DISTRICT. State and congressional—Dr. Royer, Clyde Bishop. Senatorial—W. B. Williams, Walter Gregg. FIFTH DISTRICT. State and congressional—George E. Robinson, U. C. Holderman. Senatorial — George W. Angle, A. Getty. For state and congressional delegates at large—R. Y. Williams and N. T. Edwards. Senatorial delegates at large — Dr. Ball, Jerome Folsom. Nominations for assemblyman were next in order. Johnny Greeley arose and said there seemed to be no candidates, but he wished to state that while a resident of Sacramento during the last session of the legislature, drawing a fat salary from the overburdened taxpayers, he had observed what painstaking affiliation to duty had marked the career of Assemblyman Amerige. He had frequently worked all day and far into the night in his efforts to faithfully represent the people. "It was no easy job at Sacramento," he continued, "and Amerige proved himself able to meet the situation satisfactorily and should be returned." Capt Clever placed in nomination Dr. Wm. Freeman of Fullerton. C.C. Chapman seconded Freeman's nomination in a strong speech. A delegate in the rear of the hall brought out a bunch of laughter when he said that if Amerige had worked so hard at Sacramento he ought to be given a vacation. Alex Henry arose and said it was poor policy to swap horses while crossing a stream. Later, when Amerige had been nominated, he called to him, saying he should hold himself in readiness to saddle up the nag and proceed to Sacramento. Greeley jumped to his feet, wildly voiciferating against "has been," saying such people would certainly be entitled to a rest before they got as far as Sacramento. The vote resulted: Amerige 138, Freeman 53. A wild shout arose, and Amerige was called for. He responded thanking the convention for the honor, which he took as an endorsement of his course at Sacramento. S.C. Smith of Kern and M.L.Ward of San Diego, aspirants for the congressional nomination, were called upon and responded with short addresses. Death Valley is aptly named. In the vicinity where the surveyors were at work a packhorse came straggling up, crazy for water. It was given water and followed back to camp, where five men were found, almost dead of thirst. They were given water and taken to Ivanpah, the nearest railroad station, where they were cared for. But a few hours and they would have been added to the victims of the desert. A story is told by men living at the oasis in the desert that a man driving a four-mule team dismounted from his seat, being crazy for lack of water. He was unable to again gain his seat, and perished at the side of his outfit. The mules, too, died in their tracks. In the early days an emigrant train composed of 380 people, perished miserably by drinking water containing arsenic. Indians had warned them not to go that way, but a prophet among them assured them they could make the journey all right. They came to the arsenical spring, drank of the water, and soon the entire caravan was dead. The desert contains many oasis, where pure water and shade are offered. Here are found men and women living contentedly. When traveling across the desert caravans make for these places. If they strike them, well and good; if they miss them, they soon find themselves all in. Names of places in Death Valley are not inapt. There is Funeral range, Arsenic springs, Poison spring, Camp Hell, Devil's Playground, and so on.The Salt Lake road runs through Devil's Playground. At Furnace Creek, where the party went into camp during several days,the thermometer reached 118 degrees in the shade. Next Tuesday evening, July 26,the Christian Endeavor society of the Presbyterian church will give a garden party at the home of Mrs.T.S.Grimshaw.No admission; ice cream and cake 15 cents.Everyone is invited to be present. Bad Boys Arrested. Justice Howard had before him on Tuesday nine boys residing with their parents here who seem to be bent upon being as tough a lot of kids as can be found.The arrest was made by Marshal Steadman,and the charge against them was viciously maltreating and abusing an inoffensive Chinaman These boys whose names are withheld out of consideration for their parents cut the Celestial's bicycle so that it had to be taken to a shop for repairs,the rubber being cut with a knife and the wheel otherwise injured They also stoned him and are said to have struck him with their fists and with sticks. The committee on credentials had its hands full during the noon hour. A contesting delegation from Fullerton appeared before it, but it decided not to go behind the returns. Accordingly the Amerige delegates were seated. Mit Phillips sat in the foyer of a noted caravansary and smoked and talked politics and laughed. He was one of the Santa Ana delegates, saved from the slaughter and was feeling happy. "There’s agoing to be some fun in the convention this afternoon, I guess." And he laughed again. But nobody takes Mit seriously, but he was pretty near right this time. Mit comes from Indiana, and you don’t have to show him anything. He knows it all. At 1:40 Chairman Duckworth rapped for order. Williams read report of the committee on permanent organization and order of business. Temporary officers of the convention were made permanent, the senatorial fight was placed first on the list, congressional delegates next, and choice of assemblyman last. The report was approved. Wm. Mitchell read the platform and resolutions. The original draft put the Bard collar about the legislative nominees, but Johnny Greeley pushed it over the edge, substituting one for Flint. Johnny’s feat is narrated elsewhere in this issue. Nate Ulm read the report of the committee on credentials, which was approved. It seated the Amerige delegates, and recommended that a proxy held by G. W. Sherwood be not recognized, he not being a delegate to this convention. The convention was now cleared away for the first sight of the day, viz., that for delegates at large to the Thirty-ninth senatorial convention. Early in the morning it looked as if Melrose would easily win, but Santa Ana made bad inroads into his forces, and succeeded partially in turning the tide temporarily away from him. Nominations for the delegates at large to the Thirty-ninth senatorial district convention were called for. A buzz of excitement ran its course around the hall. John Cubbin of Santa Ana nominated Greeley jumped to his feet, wildly vociferating against “has been,” saying such people would certainly be entitled to a rest before they got as far as Sacramento. The vote resulted: Amerige 138, Freeman 53. A wild shout arose, and Amerige was called for. He responded thanking the convention for the honor, which he took as an endorsement of his course at Sacramento. S. C. Smith of Kern and M. L. Ward of San Diego, aspirants for the congressional nomination, were called upon and responded with short addresses. Death of Capt. Wrede. Capt. H. C. P. Wrede died at his home in Placentia on Monday afternoon after an illness of several years. He was a native of Germany, and for years engaged as a seafaring man, having been captain of several passenger and freight steamers sailing from New York and other eastern seaports. Capt. Wrede had resided in this county for many years and was everywhere held in high esteem. He suffered a stroke of paralysis two years ago, since which time he has been mentally and physically ill. The funeral occurred yesterday, interment being in Anaheim cemetery. The obsequies were under auspices of the Masonic lodge, of which order he had been for years a member.

The Home Telephone Company, according to a statement given out today, will soon begin installing a central station here, and as soon as completed it will be connected with the main line, which is only a short distance from town. Tuesday nine boys residing with their parents here who seem to be bent upon being as tough a lot of kids as can be found. The arrest was made by Marshal Steadman, and the charge against them was viciously maltreatting and abusing an inoffensive Chinaman. These boys, whose names are withheld out of consideration for their parents, cut the Celestial’s bicycle so that it had to be taken to a shop for repairs, the rubber being cut with a knife and the wheel otherwise injured. They also stoned him and are said to have struck him with their fists and with sticks. Judge Howard gave these kids a wholesome lecture, saying they were treading the path that leads to state prison or the gallows. He imposed a sentence of thirty days in jail, and suspended the same pending good behavior. Some of these kids have been charged with committing nuisances by various citizens, and their arrest has been for sometime in contemplation. Judge Howard states that other members of the community who have been in the habit of molesting the Chinaman here referred to will be severely dealt with on repetition of the offense. Mars, the auronaut engaged to make the balloon ascensions and paraschute leape at the Anaheim Free Street Fair, is the best that ever struck the coast.

It was given water back to camp, where five sound, almost dead of thirst-given water and taken to Kerns-Bofman Ed Kerns of Olinda and Miss Bolman, until recently of Fullerton, were married this week at Redlands, at the home of the bride's parents. Kerns is an oil driller at Olinda, and the newly wedded pair will make that place their permanent home. Kerns met his wife first at the Fullerton hospital several months ago, being ill of appendicitis. His life was despaired of, but the trained nurse brought him out of his difficulties all right. Miss Bolman was that nurse. Now she is Mrs. Kerns. Before leaving Fullerton last week she was made the recipient of a china shower on the part of her many friends, together with the corps of physicians at the hospital. The bride is a lady of many amiable traits of character, and the groom is one of the popular oil drillers at the Santa Fe oil fields. Fatal Injuries. Albin Rounds, aged 28 years, died at his home on West Broadway, a half mile west of Loara postoffice, at midnight Tuesday night, as a result of injuries sustained in the pumping pit on Saturday morning. He descended into the pit, while the machinery was in motion, for the purpose of oiling it. His clothing was caught in the rapidly revolving shaft and was literally torn from his body. By great presence of mind he secured firm hold upon a piece of wood work and saved himself from being drawn into the machinery. His little brother Johnny, aged 9 years, ran and stopped the engine, but not before the unfortunate young man had sustained such injuries that it was impossible for him to recover. Physicians were immediately summoned, but their efforts were of no avail. The injured youth sank gradually, and death ended his sufferings on Tuesday night as stated. The funeral will occur this (Thursday) morning at 10 o'clock from the Christian church. Accidentally Killed. Fred D. Hoge, the fourteen-year-old son of B. L.
