A noise in a back room attracted the attention of a clerk in Mr. Cohen's store the other evening, and on investigating he found a cat valiantly defending her kittens against the attacks of a large snake, of the kind commonly called gopher snake. His snakeship was promptly dispatched. As Mr. C. E. Leonard was riding on the San Joaquin rancho a few days ago, he came upon a snake in the act of swallowing a horned toad. He threw a missile at the snake and hit it, which so enraged the reptile that it dropped its prey and "made for" its assailant. The battle which ensued resulted in the death of the snake.

He threw a missile at the snake and hit it, which so enraged the reptile that it dropped its prey and "made for" its assailant. The battle which ensued resulted in the death of the snake. The death of Mr. P. C. McKinnie at Westminster was a most unexpected occurrence. He had been at Westminster for some time past superintending the construction of the Presbyterian church. He died on Friday evening and on Saturday the body was brought to Anaheim and placed in the Presbyterian church and at 12 o'clock on Sunday it was borne thence to its last resting place, followed by an unusual throng of people and by the Anaheim Odd Fellows, of which society he was an honored member. The funeral services by Revs. Halliday and Compton were touching and impressive. The election on Wednesday passed without any exciting event occurring. Only three hundred and five votes were polled in town, as against three hundred and thirty-six at the election in 1877. At the election last June for delegates to the Constitutional Convention, two hundred and four votes were polled. The total vote in Los Angeles county was 6,218. For the Constitution 4,273 and against it 1,944. Majority for 2,329. San Francisco gave a majority for the new constitution of 1,238 out of a total vote of 37,934. The majority for the new law is between six and seven thousand. San Diego city polled 451 votes at the election on Wednesday, of which 399 were for the new constitution and 52 against. Mr. O. Warling, the only harness and saddle maker in Anaheim, is selling sets of harness of his own make at less than they can be purchased for in San Francisco.

Mr. Mossman's health having become impaired by his efforts to secure the adoption of the new constitution, he finds it necessary to visit the San Juan Hot Springs. He will leave here next Monday. The new wharf at Anaheim Landing is now finished and business has been fully inaugurated. The steamer which called there on Wednesday took off fifty tons of freight, so Mr. Ruehmann informs us. We hope shippers will sustain the Anaheim Lighter Company. Mr. John P. Zeyn will leave for San Francisco next week to attend the Grand Lodge I. O. O.

Thieves effected an entrance into Frank Baum's barber shop on Thursday night and robbed the till of $8.50, but overlooked a $5 gold piece lying in one of the rear compartments of the money drawer. Entrance was gained through the back window, a pane of glass being broken and the sash raised. The thieves took Frank Dyer's best razor, which he had honed the evening before for the rush of work consequent to the assembling of the Democratic convention. The razor was in its accustomed place along with several others, in the drawer, the lock of which was broken open. Frank wishes to state that if the thieves will return the razor they will be given a free shave and hair cut. There is no clue to the burglars, but interesting developments are looked for, as officers are working on several lines which may land the thieves in jail. The Democratic county convention was held in Anaheim at the Opera House, on Saturday last, and Hearst was endorsed 65 to 39, although opposition to him was lively. The convention was composed of 133 delegates, of whom 120 were present. It was the best looking Democratic convention in years. The hall filled rapidly and at 10 o'clock Edgar Johnson, chairman of the county central committee, called the meeting to order. H. C. Head arose and nominated Julius Schneider as temporary presiding officer. He was elected chairman without opposition. W. E. Baker of Santa Ana was elected secretary. The convention at times was as wild as a set of bronchos, especially during the scrap over Hearst, and the chairman was several times carried off his feet. When tranquility was again the Opera House, on Saturday last, and Hearst was endorsed to 39, although opposition to him was lively. The convention was composed of 133 delegates, of whom 120 were present. It was the best looking Democratic convention in years. The hall filled rapidly and at 10 o'clock Edgar Johnson, chairman of the county central committee, called the meeting to order. H. C. Head arose and nominated Julius Schneider as temporary presiding officer. He was elected chairman without opposition. W. E. Baker of Santa Ana was elected secretary. The convention at times was as wild as a set of bronchos, especially during the scrap over Hearst, and the chairman was several times carried off his feet. When tranquility was again restored matters went along peacefully and it was easy sailing for the chair, as well as for all others concerned. The session began with a motion by Henry Ames of Santa Ana that the reading of the call be dispensed with. The motion was carried with few dissenting votes. Frank Porter then arose and said he wished to know what he was here for. He wanted the call read, and the convention thought so, too, evidently, for it, on a vote, reversed itself completely, and the call was accordingly read. H. C. Head read the resolutions and when he reached the second section referring to Hearst, the demonstration which followed indicated that the convention was with Hearst. E. O. Daniel opposed Hearst, while Col. Heathman, Col. Booty and Dr. Mongos smoke for him. When the votes were announced the resolution was adopted (5 to 20). Edgar Johnson J.A. Booty and W.H. Sourgeon were elected delegates at large. N.E. Standman and L.J. Schneider were elected from Anaheim to serve on the county central committee. Miss Martha Olive Staley daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. D. Staley of Blessington, and Gina Wilson Little of Blessington were united in marriage on Thursday at the home of the bride's mother. The ceremony was performed by Ray Wenkins of the Deschytterian church of Fullerton. The bride was crowned in cream crème de waite with rich lace and applique trimming. Orange blossome were in her hair and she carried a bouquet of white carnations and maiden hair ferns. Mr. and Mrs. Lillie will be at home to their friends at the home of Mrs. Staley after a short honeymoon at Santa Barbara. J. S. Hatfield has completed the school census in the Anaheim district. It shows there are 720 children between the ages of 5 and 17. This includes 142 boys in St. Catherine's orphanage. There are 215 children in the district under the age of 5 years. A total of 246 children of school age who had not been vaccinated was found. A considerable increase over last year was found. Tim Carroll leaves next week for a business trip of several months' duration to Colorado and other points east. His patented dumming apparatus is coming into great favor and a constantly increasing demand exists for them. Uncle Jacob Everhardy reports the northwest wind on Sunday so severe that the roof of his big barn at Benedict was partly blown off. In sandy soil further west young corn and beets were stripped and crops seriously interfered with. A lady living at Benedict had her chimney blown down and the roof of her dwelling narrowly escaped damage by the gale. E. B. Foster of Centralia was in town this week. He reports he have crop will be the lightest in twenty years owing to scant rainfall. Beets in his section are also reported light. It is expected that Newport harbor council proceed satisfactorily under this proposed enactment, with the county assisting a local harbor district by financial appropriations for the benefit of its own property at the harbor County funds, it is said, would be used for dredging the harbor entrance. Talbert announced that he had received word from Senator N. T. Edwards that the Orange county harbor bill, sponsored by Edwards, had been sent back to committee, and that Edwards was supporting the Lyons bill. "The harbor people are satisfied with the new plan, and feel that they can get along very well with the harbor, if the county will appropriate say $25,000 each year to help get the entrance in shape," said Talbert. "We have figured out the proposition to the point where we know that if we can get the entrance cleared, the harbor will carry itself along by private development that will surprise a lot of people around here." "If the county will help out to the extent stated, we will shortly be paying the county interest at six per cent, on the $500,000 bond issue it spent on the harbor. That income will come to the county in connection with its frontage on the harbor." Speaking of affronts to the flag, has it ever occurred to the Canadian authorities that a British subject uses the British flag to protect smugglers, bootlegging, piracy or other methods of violating the laws of friendly nations, is not exactly glorifying the Union Jack? Tex Guinan, Manhattan's celebrated queen of the night clubs was acquitted of the charge of being a nuisance amid the cheers of everyone in the courtroom. It is now reported that her statue will be erected in Central Park and labeled "The Spirit of New York." Scientific farming is the kind which can best be carried on in the agricultural magazines. We don't know of anything harder for a minister to compete with on a bright Sunday morning than a pink and white baby gurgling and cooling in the back pew. No. 412 B Mother!

Dick Hetebrink was in town on Saturday delivering his usual grade of excellent butter. Dick claims to make the best brand of butter manufactured in Southern California, and those who have been using it for many years past incline to the opinion that he is about right. Miss Carrie Roberts, principal of the Central Grammar school was made the recipient of numerous May baskets by the pupils on Saturday evening. Miss Roberts is probably the most popular principal, as she is the most competent and accomplished ever in the employ of the school district. Mr. and Mrs. George Boyd and little daughter, Jessie, have been visiting friends and relatives in Los Angeles and Downey. Mr. and Mrs. John W. Hart of Los Angeles visited with friends in town during the week.
