Anaheim had agreed to care for fifty during a period of three months. For the present no further meetings will be held to consider relief work, but Mr. Dickel may call a meeting whenever necessity arises for so doing. San Francisco is showing the same indomitable spirit which characterized the Forty-niners. Having suffered the greatest disaster of the century, it has set itself to rebuilding its devastated wastes, and will in a few short years probably rise again as the most beautiful city on the continent. Mrs. Konig has heard from two of her brothers, one living in Oakland and the other in San Francisco, but has been unable to hear from a third, whose place of business in the Mission was destroyed by fire. The first writes that the chimneys of his residence topled over during the quake, the mantle piece was wrecked and chinaware destroyed. Tents have been erected in his yard and refugees afforded shelter. The second brother lived in the district which was not reached by the fire.

Mr. and Mrs. Baker of Clair have received word from their son Arthur, to the effect that he escaped the quake unhurt, although his clothing was destroyed by the fire which consumed the house in which he lived. Capt. V. Schumacher tendered his services immediately to Mayor Schmitz the afternoon of the day of the quake. Capt. Schumacher was a lieutenant of police in Chicago during the anarchist riots a number of years ago, and his experiences as an officer qualify him for duty in the stricken northern city. He exerted every endeavor to go north, even going to Los Angeles to confer with Gen. Wankowski. He has received no reply from the north, but his patriotic action calls for universal commendation among his friends here, whose name is legion. Mrs. Henry Adams had a sister living on O'Farrel street and a brother living in Alameda. The former's residence was consumed, but she escaped unhurt. Her brother's wife's mother has not been heard from since the fire. Mr. Dickel on Monday received a letter from his son Ted, who is one of Company E's buglers. Ted writes the boys are doing well, and that Frank Tausch has been honored by promotion to be color sergeant of the regiment. Mrs. J. S.

Gerald Sandilands has not yet been able to get into communication with his brother who was burned out in the San Francisco fire. He has receivedablegrams from his mother in London and letters from relatives in Canada, anxiously inquiring about their relative, and while he has made strenuous endeavor to hear from him has been unable this far so to do. Mrs. Zeus Home Again Mrs. Zeus and her daughter, Miss Millie Zeus, arrived from San Francisco on Thursday evening, their residence having been destroyed by the fire which swept the city. Mrs. Zeus is relating her experiences said their house, on Pine street, between Mason and Taylor, rocked violently during the seismic disturbance, making it imperative for her and her family to beat the hasty retreat. Chimneys fell throughout the district, and plaster was loosened from ceilings. After the subsidence of the quake the family re-entered the household and saved such articles as could be conveniently carried. In a short interval the business portion of the city was ablaze, yet Mrs. Zeus felt her dwelling, being a considerable distance removed from the fire, would be spared from the flames. After remaining in the house until south of Crowther's corner, is completed at a depth of 394 feet and that 85 feet at the bottom of the well had been cut. Well No. 2 has been started. Sherwood moved that the secretary write Western Gas Engine company stating that our pumping plant has not been used since the final test and any reports of unsatisfactory work are therefore unfounded. Carried. It was moved and carried that the Pumping Plant committee be instructed to advertise for bids for a complete plant consisting of a special pump, etc. to lift 300 inches of water. Application from Wm. B. Wilson for the position of engineer of the pumping plant for the coming season was filed. A bill from the Western Gas Engine company was received asking for an immediate remittance of a balance of $6 24. On motion of Hale, seconded by Kraemer, the secretary was instructed to reply to the said company calling attention to the fact that the bill is for materials furnished before and included in the final settlement. On motion the president and secretary were authorized to renew notes Nos. 309 and 328. Applications for the transfer of stock were granted in accordance with the usual rules of the company. WRECK IN HORSESHOE BEND After the subsidence of the quake the family re-entered the household and saved such articles as could be conveniently carried. In a short interval the business portion of the city was ablaze, yet Mrs. Zeus felt her swelling, being a considerable distance removed from the fire, would be spared from the flames. After remaining in the house until late in the afternoon and seeing the fire approaching in two directions, Mrs. Zeus concluded to vacate and went with her family to the Broadway street wharf, where she took the Sauelito ferry on her way to Mill Valley, where she remained several days. While at Oakland on Wednesday afternoon she was called upon by Capt. Btern and Sergeant Yungbluth of Company E, who had been informed of her presence, and called to pay their respects. Mrs. Zeus is comfortably situated in her former residence and is glad to be able to return to Anaheim. Returned From San Francisco John Hartung returned on Friday evening from San Francisco, where he went the preceding Sunday evening to learn the fate of his sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. O. Berman. He arrived in the city on Monday morning and in company of E. W. West, the bank vault expert, walked up Market Street to California, and thence out to Van Ness avenue. Here he turned south and at noon, after walking seven miles, came to the residence of his relatives. The house was still standing, on Fulton street, between Scott and Devisadero. As he walked up he saw his sister cooking dinner in the street. Neither fires nor lights were permitted in the houses which remained standing. All the residents were preparing the midday meal in the streets. At sight of her brother, Mrs. Berman lost control of her emotions and swept. They had heard that Los Angeles and this city, as well as all of southern California had been destroyed by the quake. Mr. Hartung speedily reassured her, and after a brief stay hired a buggy and went to the Cliff house, which he found to be still standing, although considerably damaged by the quake. WRECK IN HORSESHOE BEND The north-bound Santa Fe passenger train, rounding the curve at Horseshoe Bend at 12:30 o'clock on Monday afternoon, left the track and crashed into a mountain of sandstone. At the base of the hill the main ditch of the Anaheim Union Water company carries a flood of 3000 inches of water. The tender, baggage and day coach wedged themselves in the ditch. At outer edge of the track the embankment falls away 100 feet sheer downward to the river bed. Had the train gone down the embankment instead of crashing into the side of the hill, a large loss of life would have ensued. As it was the cars crashed along the sharp edges of the protruding sandstone rock, shattering the sides of coaches and sending glass and splintered pieces of wood in all directions. The tender turned completely over, and lay in the ditch until about noon on Wednesday, emptying a flood of oil upon the waters in the canal. The baggage car, smoker and day coach went sideways into the ditch. The engine and rear observation coach remained standing upon the track. The wreck was caused by poor track and faulty equipment. Several passengers were seriously injured, and that many were not killed seems a miracle. One lady had a tooth knocked out and was otherwise shaken up and bruised. Two men sustained severe sprains of the back and others were more or less injured. Head zanjero Nichols, who was at work a mile this side the smashup, observed quantities of oil and railroad wreckage floating upon the water, and going to the Bend saw the wreck. He turned the water out of the ditch. Passengers were transferred around the wreck late in the afternoon, and the Salt Lake wrecking train dispatched from Los Angeles to lift the cars and tender upon the track. The work was not completed until Wednesday noon At sight of her brother, Mrs. Berman lost control of her emotions and vept. They had heard that Los Angeles and this city, as well as all of Southern California had been destroyed by the quake. Mr. Hartung speedily reassured her, and after a brief stay hired a buggy and went to the Cliff house, which he found to be still standing, although considerably damaged by the quake. He describes San Francisco as presenting a picture of desolation in the extreme; although the people are preparing to rebuild. Mr. Berman was in the shirt business on Montgomery street, near Bush, and was burned out. All trains out of the city were crowded, and one had to stand in line for hours to procure a berth reservation. Minutes of the Water Board Anaheim, Cal., April 21, 1906. Regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water company with the following members present, Directors Crowther, Gunderson, Hale, Kraemer, McLauchlin and Sherwood. McLauchlin of the ditch committee reported that the Nutwood ditch does not belong to this company but to A. E. Nutt and that no water has been used through it for four years. Moved by McLauchlin that the secretary be instructed to notify Southern Pacific railway company that upon further investigation the water company finds that it does not own the ditch at Nutwood and the railway company must therefore deal with A. E. Nutt, the owner. Carried. Sherwood reported that well No. 1, Head zanjero Nichols, who was at work a mile this side the smashup, observed quantities of oil and railroad wreckage floating upon the water, and going to the Bend saw the wreck. He turned the water out of the ditch. Passengers were transferred around the wreck late in the afternoon, and the Salt Lake wrecking train dispatched from Los Angeles to lift the cars and tender upon the track. The work was not completed until Wednesday noon. A party of Santa Fe officials came down in a special train to view the wreck. Supt. Porter of the water company was early on the scene. He informed Supt. Hitchcock of the railway company, who had come down with other officials, that the water company would hold his company responsible for the loss of water, which had been turned out of the ditch, and which was worth, Porter said, $20 per hour. Some two months ago the Santa Fe had a freight train wrecked not far from the scene of the smashup; twenty-eight cars were burned, and a loss entailed amounting to $50,000. High School Students Several high school students are members of Company E and are now with their regiment at Oakland. It has been suggested that the school trustees permit them, on their return, to be examined for graduation, instead of requiring them to attend another year before so doing. The suggestion seems reasonable, and it will probably be acted upon by the school board. The boys will probably not return before schools are dismissed for the summer vacation.
