SIFTS SHERWOOD'S LIES Mr. Bradford Shows the Utter Falsity of the Man's Many Wild Statements EDITOR GAZETTE:—A recent article by Mr. Sherwood entitled "Eye-openers from Director Sherwood" would more properly be named, "Dust in the Eyes, by Mr. Sherwood." His statement of the expenses incurred during the past sixteen months in litigation matters shows his utter ignorance of the financial matters of the company. He is like the old lady who once went to the office of the water company and charged that there must be a great deal of graft going on for she saw by the report of the board of audit that $600 had been spent last year in office furniture and fixtures. The secretary explained to her that the $600 mentioned in the report of the board referred to all the money spent during the twenty-two years since the company had been organized, and that we have to show for it two large safes worth $450 and various other articles of furniture. In the same manner Mr. Sherwood maps of the company are in of Engineer Kellogg is very ing. If he desired to "tell the whole truth and nothing truth" he should have also that in the safes of the A. U. always kept an exact copy of maps, but that the original not kept there because they and become so dim that it was possible to make blue-print them if any should be needed. An order was given some for the providing of suitable in which to keep those orig. In his article he denies ha the engineer of the company was the president of the board statement is but in accord with custom of distorting the matter of fact he never was engineer during that time of the board or resolution, but engineer, nevertheless. Does him the less engineer of the because he simply took upon that duty, presuming upon his position as president of He did not neglect to send in for all the work he did. It is not necessary to say further about the jealousy, methods of Mr. Sherwood in his campaign, as the greater be a great deal of grant going on for she saw by the report of the board of audit that $600 had been spent last year in office furniture and fixtures. The secretary explained to her that the $600 mentioned in the report of the board referred to all the money spent during the twenty-two years since the company had been organized, and that we have to show for it two large safes worth $450 and various other articles of furniture. In the same manner Mr. Sherwood I presume got his information from the report of the board of audit, but he did not understand the report well enough to take it correctly. That report shows that up to January 1, 1906, the whole amount spent since that account was started was a trifle over $19,000. And I will also state that the litigation account was started on the first day of January, 1900. We therefore see that instead of saying that more than $20,000 has been spent in a little over a year, he should have said that less than $20,000 had been spent in six years. In addition I want to say that Mr. Hale, a presumed supporter of Mr. Sherwood, has for the past year been a member of the joint litigation committee and has voted favorably upon every expenditure. I am very glad to say that for many years the Anaheim Union Water company has not before been so free from prospective lawsuits as at present. Mr. Sherwood also says that a "slick bunco game" was tried upon the board of directors, but that it failed. If the board was wise enough to turn the game down, why does he blame the board for that? It is unfair to criticise the board for the blunders that might have been made but were not made.

Necessary to say anything about the jealous, spiteful of Mr. Sherwood in waging ign, as the greater number of patents bear the imprint of That Bank Removal An advertisement appearing upon another page, relating to the removal from this city to Los Angeles of the principal place of business of the Bank of Anaheim does not refer to any bank now doing business in this city, but to the bank formerly conducted here by Plez James, and which closed its doors in the panic of 1893. A number of inquiries have been made concerning the advertisement, which it seems has been imperfectly understood. The old Bank of Anaheim has been in litigation since 1893, and the removal of its place of business is merely a technicality in lawful procedure which the directors of the institution have determined upon. Stories About Muddy Streets A Center street citizen vouches for the truth of this story: A man while walking along the sidewalk one day recently espied a hat leisurely floating down the current in the street. He picked it up and was surprised to find a man's head under it. "Hello there!" he exclaimed, "you're pretty deep in the mud, aren't you?" "Oh, no, I'm all right," said the man underneath, "I'm on horseback!" Another citizen vouches for this: Oif Wells Win In th The speediest aggregator players which the Oil Wells up against since the time outpitched Pap Crandall t was the Moran club of whom they defeated after a gle, 3 to 2, at Athletic Park afternoon.

"Oh, no, I'm all right," said the man underneath, "I'm on horseback!" Another citizen vouches for this: He was standing on the street corner the other day, when a stranger approached. He viewed the muddy streets suspiciously, and asked: "Who owns these mud baths? Where can I find the proprietor?" "They belong to the public," he was informed: "they are good ones, and you can use them to your heart's content." "I have been to Elsinore and San Jacinto," the man went on, "and I think I will try these. They look good to me. Where is the bath-house?" "We have no bath-houses. We have only the baths." "What do you do with the hole when a fellow gets out of it?" "The plan in this town is, when a fellow gets into a hole, to pull the hole in after him." It will be noted that the name of the place where these happenings occurred is not given. Something Fierce Happy Hooligan had his troubles on Thursday evening when his short-handed company of troubadoers appeared to a fair-sized audience at Music hall. The performers seemed for the most part to have recently made their escape from Dr. Dippy's retreat, and a young lady whose ear-piercing scream cast a gloom over the proceedings, seemed entitled to the reward. The performance was slow in starting, and lines seemed to be badly confused. The coarse vulgarity was an affront to the audience. The following day it was learned that three of the "leading men" deserted the show a day or two before, and two of the soubrettes abandoned the company after arriving here. When departing for pastures new, one of the performers narrowly escaped breaking his leg by getting it between the moving train and an express cart standing too near the track. One of the ladies was seen to be in tears. Happy looked a speedy bunch, and began Crips from the start. The infield was there with the retired the foreigners in until the fourth, when trot.

One of the ladies was seen to be in tears. Happy looked furtively about him, probably expecting a policeman. We can get along quite well without such barn-storming aggregations. County Superintendent of Schools W. R. Carpenter has made demand upon ex-Superintendent Nichols that he balance his books and make a sworn statement as to the balance. That the books of the county superintendent of schools had been left in unsatisfactory condition to the new man has been known about the courthouse for some time, but it was not until Monday that the demand was made that a balance be struck. Prof. Nichols is now teaching at Oxnard. The outgoing superintendent had no assistant in his office during the last year he was in and it is the belief of several county officials that that was one reason Nichols was unable to keep his work up. Just previous to the close of his term came the teachers' institutes and the necessity of his attention to the school work at Oxnard. Wanted 500 Horses To be clipped at the Palace Livery Stable, Anaheim, Cal. J. Hahn, Prop. Wells Win In the Ninth The speediest aggregation of ball which the Oil Wells have gone in since the time Oscar Jones shed Pap Crandall two years ago at Moran club of Los Angeles, they defeated after a hard struggle 2, at Athletic Park on Sunday afternoon. A crowd of 1500 spectators used the most exciting game on the local grounds this season. The Oil Wells played an uphill from the start and were moreover trapped by the absence of John El Fuqua, both of whom were ill. Substituted for Johnson, pitching wellent form, allowing six hits, going out three, walking two. Wagons a poor substitute for Fuqua. On Meats of Olive played right, two hits, a run and capturing five flies. Morans proved themselves to be busy bunch, and began landing on from the start. The stonewall was there with the goods, and the foreigners in easy fashion, the fourth, when trouble began. They sent a hot one through Elwell. Sent a two-bagger to left, on Musty scored. T. Whaling flew; Lucerno bunted, Crips tried on Perode at the plate, but on a decision the foreigner was safe. Morano walked; Rieger struck out, up. With the home contingent on their feet and urging the home team on to victory, Rieger walked Wagner and W. Meats. Head slammed one through Moore, Wagner scampered home, and the crowd broke loose.
