JIM OTT, CHAMPION KICKER LIFTED EARLY-DAY DISPUTANT CLEAR ACROSS STREET Sat in a Game of Draw All Night Long, Put Drunken Man Out of His Own House—Arrested for Battery— Acquitted—Then the Kick James D. Ott was in town from Santa Ana a day or two ago, and to a group of listeners told the story of ah early-day poker game which resulted in his arrest for assault and battery—the only time he was ever placed under arrest, and from which charge he was promptly acquitted, with costs taxed on the other fellow. "It was right over in that room," said Jim, pointing to a building across the way, "away back in 1873. I arrived here September 23, 1871." Bill Hill walked up and said he beat Jim's time by three years, having come here in 1868. "I was just up from the Landing," continued Jim, "and as I walked into the room there, I found Oscar George, Dick Barham and several others playing poker. "Come in, Jim, take a hand," they says. "Excuse me," I says, "I have no story is to the effect that when Jim quit the game he had all the chips and money, too. • CITY TAX RATE $1.70 Thirteen Cents Higher Than Last Year The City Trustees met on Tuesday evening and fixed the city tax rate for the current year at $1.70 on the $100 of assessed valuation.

"I was just up from the Landing," continued Jim, "and as I walked into the room there, I found Oscar George, Dick Barham and several others playing poker. "Come in, Jim, take a hand," they says. "Excuse me," I says, "I have no business playing poker with such players as you." They coaxed me into the game, and I took a hand. The owner of the house came in, under the influence of drink, and seating himself next to George, said he intended taking a hand in the game. "You're drunk," says George, and aren't a proper person to play in a gentleman's game of poker, nohow." The old man changed his chair to a place next to me, and began abusing George. "See here," I says to him, "you can't play in this game, and you had better keep out." He began abusing me. I cautioned him to stop it, but that made him worse. Finally I could stand it no longer, and I grabbed him by the seat of the pants and scruff or the neck, and kicked him out of his own house and locked the door. He went to a livery stable, got a rig, drove to the justice's home and swore out a complaint against me for battery. "The game broke up at daylight. As I was going upstairs to bed, Dye Davis walked in the front door. "Got a warrant for you, Jim," he says. "What for?" "For battery." Keep it in your pocket,' I says, 'and I'll be down as soon as I have some sleep. Later in the day I was haled into court and the judge began reading me a long lecture. The man I had kicked out of his own house swore that I had broken both his legs and one arm. You can't try me today, judge,' I says, 'because today is Sunday. He agreed with me. I told him there was nothing in the other fellow's story. I said I could be present in court at 10 o'clock on Monday morning. I had a ship at the Landing to unload, and had business there. I was allowed to go on my own recognizance. Following are the items of the assessment roll: Real estate, $352,635. Improvements $520,145. Personal property, $123,510. Money on hand, $3920.

Plans and cross-sections for paving street intersections between Claudina and Orange streets, and city property fronting the city hall were submitted by Engineer Steward and adopted. The clerk was instructed to advertise for bids for constructing same, bids to be opened Sept. 9. Dr. W. S. McFarlane requested permission to install public scales on Oak street, west of Lemon street. Granted, the scales to be set not less than 15 feet from the west side of Lemon street property. Petition of W. A. Wallace and others for street light on corner of Broadway and Kroeger streets was granted. The clerk was instructed to advertise for 5000 barrels of crude oil, the bids to be opened Sept. 9. A map of Lairds' subdivision of Del Campo tract was presented and adopted. J. Otis Burrage, civil engineer of San Francisco, wrote in reference to sewer construction, asking information relative to the proposed construction of sewers here. The clerk was instructed to acknowledge receipt of Mr. Bnrrage's favor. JAKEY HARTFIELD'S CLOSE CALL Drinks Gasoline and Is All In When Father Comes to Rescue Jakey Hartfield, the twenty-months old son of Mr. and Mrs. B. Hartfield, had a narrow escape from death one day last week when, as a result of swallowing a quantity of gasoline, he lost consciousness for several minutes. Only the immediate presence of his father and mother who worked over him vigorously, and the prompt arrival of Dr. Wickett with restoratives, saved the bright little fellow's life. Mr. Hartfield had been using the liquid in cleaning a garment in the rear of his jewelry store, when he was called inside to wait upon a a long lecture. The man I had kicked out of his own house swore that I had broken both his legs and one arm. "You can't try me today, judge," I says, 'because today is Sunday. He agreed with me. I told him there was nothing in the other fellow's story. I said I could be present in court at 10 o'clock on Monday morning. I had a ship at the Landing to unload, and had business there. I was allowed to go on my own recognizance. "The next day everybody in the country was at the trial. The plaintiff had old Broadaxe Wiseman to prosecute the case, and the old faker did burn me up alive. He was earning his rent, and he did his job well. "George Knox came along and asked me if I had a lawyer. I said no, and he says, 'I'll get in and take a hand.'" "You can do so, Knox, I says, 'but I'll not pay you a cent for it. I'm going to see this case through myself, but if you want to make a spiel you may do so, but there will be no fee in it.'" "Knox roasted Wiseman to a finish. I had my say, and the judge acquitted me and taxed $10 costs against plaintiff." "Make it $50." roared the plaintiff. "Fifty dollars for contempt of court," said the judge. The old fellow paid his fine and a few minutes later, seeing he had made a fool of himself, came up to me, as I stood at his place of business, and offered me a $10 gold piece if I'd kick him as hard as I could. "I'll do it," I says. 'Give me the money.' He handed over the coin and I kicked him clear across the street into Higgins' drugstore.' " "Who won the money, Jim, in the little game?" he was asked. Jim wouldn't say, but an early-day one day last week when, as a result of swallowing a quantity of gasoline, he lost consciousness for several minutes. Only the immediate presence of his father and mother who worked over him vigorously, and the prompt arrival of Dr. Wickett with restoratives, saved the bright little fellow's life. Mr. Hartfield had been using the liquid in cleaning a garment in the rear of his jewelry store, when he was called inside to wait upon a customer. The boy picked up the bottle and drained it of its contents. Mrs. Hartfield immediately gave the alarm, and Mr. Hartfield ran to the rescue. He found his son desperately ill, with eyes closed and all but unconscious. Seizing the lad by the feet, he held him head downward working with him to induce nausea. The boy became rigid, and, as Mr. Hartfield says, was "all in," when vomiting relieved him of the poisonous drug. Dr. Wickett, who had been summoned by phone, arrived and applied restoratives. The little sufferer was soon out of danger, and later in the afternoon went visiting with his little sister Lillie. TON OF TREE SEED FOR CALIFORNIA FORESTS Two thousand pounds of tree seed will be gathered this year on the National Forests of California to be used later in sowing on tracts where tree growth is most needed. Extensive sowing operations will be conducted on selected California National Forests. Progress reports have been called for, and on the forests in the state where there is a good seed crop, the supervisors have been asked to bend every effort to insure the collection of the required amount of seed. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY. AUGUST 26, 1909 WATER BOARD'S NEW OFFICE OCCUPYING HANDSOME NEW STRUCTURE ON EAST CENTER Office Moved Many Times Since the Early 60's—One of First Adobe Buildings Erected Here Was for Company—Other Sites The Anaheim Union Water company is comfortably installed in its hand some new headquarters office on East Center street, and on Saturday the board of directors held their first meeting therein. The building is 30x133½ feet, of pressed brick and concrete flooring, and with large plate glass windows affording ample light to the interior. Its cost is about $6000. Entering the heavy glass front door, the visitor finds himself in the public office 10x16 feet. Adjoining this is Secretary Krick's office,16 x16. The two are separated by a counter and glass panels rising therefrom. These may be raised if need be to accommodate the stockholder having business with that official. To the right of the public office is the office of Superintendent Porter, 10x12, and adjoining that, the fire-proof vault, 8x8. The stockholder desiring an interview with the directors is accort- LET OFF THIS TIME Meddlers With Gates Will Be Made to Walk the Plank Anaheim, Cal., Aug. 21, 1909. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors was held on the above date in the new office building, at the corner of Center and Hedwig streets. All members were present except L. P. Drake and G. W. Sherwood. On motion the President and Secretary were instructed to give a 100 foot right of way to the Santa Fe Railway Co. instead of the proposed 60 foot right of way. A. A. Mills and L. E. Miller, a committee from the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, appeared before the board and presented a resolution from the Chamber of Commerce. The board explained the plans in view of laying a pipe line in a northwestern direction from Plant No. 2, so as to take in more territory for the coming season. A stockholder appeared before the board in answer to a summons for interfering with a company's gate. He explained that he was not familiar with our rules and would give no further trouble. On motion of Mr. Hale he was ex- PROF. VINACKE AT THE FAIR DESCRIBES BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS AT EXPOSITION Grouped in Artistic Manner on Sliding Ground Covered With Forest Trees—Evening Electric Display Work of Art—Government Exhibition Prof. A. T. Vinacke, who was a member of the high school faculty last year, and who has been on visit to the Seattle fair, writes that following interesting account of the grounds and buildings to a friend this city: The buildings of the A.Y.P. Exposition are grouped in an attractive and artistic manner on ground slopes to the water and covered with forest trees. The real and the "set out are so blended that the whole seem real and gives one the impression wandering in a beautifully wooded garden or park. The best and prettiest view of the buildings is had fro below the Cascades, where at even the electric display is fine. The area covered is not large as the time usually spent in walking must be used in looking. This is an advantage especially if you are in hurry. The crowd is not great. the public office here is Secretary Krick's office, 16x16. The two are separated by a counter and glass panels rising therefrom. These may be raised if need be to accommodate the stockholder having business with that official. To the right of the public office is the office of Superintendent Porter, 10x12, and adjoining that, the fire-proof vault, 8x8. The stockholder desiring an interview with the directors is escorted through the superintendent's office, where a hallway runs in the rear of the vault to the directors' room, adjoining the new office. This is a commodious room, 16x28, and is separated by a rolling partition from a rear office of the same dimensions, the object being to turn the two offices into one when occasion demands. In the rear of these rooms is the warehouse, 28x65 feet. The flooring throughout the building is treated to a compound which makes it impervious to water. Large doors on the Hedwig-street side admit the stockholder to the director's office and the warehouse. The secretary's office is fitted up with modern furniture, such as office desk, shelving, lockers, washroom and toilet. The directors room contains lockers for each of the seven directors. A large pressed-brick fireplace occupies the east end of the directors' room. The building is handsome architecturally and the interior finish is in keeping with good taste and convenience throughout. The directors office is not so public nor so easy of access as former offices of the company, the specifications being more in keeping with the proportion to which the company's business has attained. The recently vacated office in the Backs' building was occupied by the company since 1889. For a time the rooms across the hall south of the stairway, were occupied as an office by the irrigation district, which was absorbed by the water company about the time it moved into its recently vacated quarters. Previous to that time the water office was maintained for several years in the building now occupied by Joseph Helmsen, and for a number of years before that in Miller's hall on South Los Angeles street. One of the first buildings erected in Anaheim was for the water com The board explained the plans in view of laying a pipe line in a northwestern direction from Plant No. 2, so as to take in more territory for the coming season. A stockholder appeared before the board in answer to a summons for interfering with a company's gate. He explained that he was not familiar with our rules and would give no further trouble. On motion of Mr. Hale he was excused, provided he leaves the gates alone in future. Some discussion was then had by the board on the question of irrigators interfering with gates. It appeared to be a general opinion that it will be advisable to inflict fines, provided any future violations of the rules occur. A complaint of A. Barrows that he had been unjustly charged was on motion referred to Mr. Parrett. Lee Myers appeared before the board and explained that during the past week he had been irrigating with his own and rented stock but that although he was expected to receive 75 inches he really got much less than 50 inches. He further stated that he and several others including the zanjero had investigated the cause and found that the gate in the main canal at the ranch of the Placentia Fruit Company had been several times interfered with, thereby causing more water to run onto the said ranch and less to Mr. Myers. He asked that the zanjero be instructed to run to him a days water to make up to him a part of his loss. On motion it was resolved that Mr. Myers should receive an additional day's run as requested. On motion duly made, seconded and carried, the secretary was instructed to notify the superintendent of the ranch of the Placentia Fruit Co. to appear before the board and assist in locating the person who interfered with the gate. An application from S. Ross for the privilege of purchasing 150 sacks of cement was granted. An application from Wm. Berkenstock asking the privilege of hauling away some of the soil and gravel removed from our gravel bed in the Gomber tract was granted, the same to be done under the supervision of the superintendent.

Previous to that time the water office was maintained for several years in the building now occupied by Joseph Helmsen, and for a number of years before that in Miller's hall on South Los Angeles street. One of the first buildings erected in Anaheim was for the water company and stood where the American Savings bank and Jos. Helmsen's store now stand. It was of adobe. The northeast room was occupied by the Zanjero, who was superintendent and zanjero rolled into one. The north west room was the directors' office, and was also used as a public school and for church on Sundays. This room ran from the front to the rear of the structure. In the rear of the zanjero's office was the city jail. Thus the ancient building, which was erected in 1863, served all the civic necessities of the early^time—water office, zanjero's room, schoolhouse, church and clubhouse. The walls were wide and iron gratings ran up and down after the fashion of structures of the time. The schoolmaster of the period found the wide window a comfortable place for a snooze after dinner, during the warm summer days. The shrill whistles of the bad boys of the time awakened him from his slumbers. Rubbing his eyes and starring about at the pupils, who were now busy with their lessons, the ancient pedagogue would readjust himself in the window and go to sleep again, only to meet a similar experience at the hands of the Indian with the shrill whistle. The building was torn down in the 70's to make room for more substantial structures, and the water company moved first to one place then an- An application from S.

A case of a stockholder being undercharged for water was referred to the superintendent, with instructions to see that each zanjero carried with him his daily memorandum book and also makes daily reports to the office so that no charges may be overlooked. On motion the President and Secretary were instructed to execute on behalf of the company the contracts with S. F. Catey covering the construction of two wells and a 60-foot pit at Pump No. 1. P. H.

Jim Innerarity, Bobby Mills, Dick Nemetz and Frank Hegeley made a voyage from Bay City to Avalon in the Captain's full-rigged ship "Anaheim Landing" on Sunday of last week, returning on Thursday morning. The voyage was made in half a day, and 410 pounds of albicore were caught. The seas were running high. The Wasp, one of San Diego's crack boats, consumed 66 hours in making Catalina from San Diego in the same tempestuous seas. The Anaheim Landing is a full-rigged ship, 29 feet long and 9 feet in breadth of bean.

Prof. Jenkins was introduced by A. A. Mills, and an assistant threw pictures upon a canvass as the lecture progressed. These were followed with keen interest, the sewage problem being one of uppermost importance in the locality. Prof. Jenkins began his lecture by referring to the discovery of the germ theory by scientists.
