AN OLD SETTLER GONE.
Death of the Largest Man In
Southern California.

Southern California has lost big
man in the death of Thos. w. Robert
son, which occurred last Tuesday
evening at his home, about three
miles southeast of Santa Ana. Mr.
Robertson was one of the oldest set
tiers of this region, and is remembered
by some of the oldest inhabitants to
have been seen at Newport harbor
about eighteen years ago, where he
was engaged in shark fishing, an oc-
cupation which he has followed con
siderable since that time. His home
was then at Los Nietos. and few
years later he moved near Santa Ana,
where he spent the remainder OF his
life.
Mr.. Robertson was especially not
alb on account of his Tremendous
size, as he was a veritable giant in
stature, being six feet and six inches
in height and weighing over 400
pounds. He measured two feet and
six inches across the shoulders. 1t
being impossible to obtain a casket
large enough to contain the remains,
it was necessary to make one to order
to receive them.
Mr.. Robertson originally came from
Shelby county, Ind. He has always
been straightforward in his dealings
and good citizen in every respect.
Mr.. Robertson was sufferer from
asthma, a disease particularly trouble
some to ieshy people, which was the
direct cause of his death. Two of his
children reside at Oceanside.

ell advertise for bids for so or 100 fire
hydrants. The Chief stated that he
had received no bids from the East or
from San Francisco.
Commissioner Teed and Chief Mo-
riarty stated that they had visited the
Morris Vineyard engine-house, and
found it in a very unsatisfactory
state. The owner of the Nor
ris Vineyard engine house ap.
peared before the Board and stated
that he had concluded to raise
the rent $40 per month; whereupon
Mr.. iced moved that the city property
in the Morris engine house be re-
moved on the lst OF next month.
Motion carried. The usual number
of bills were audited and approved.

test against Mr.. Millard erecting a
frame building on his property and as
Mr.. Mills came before the Board and
Mr.. Millard did not put in an appear
ance until after action on the matter
had been dropped, he was allowed to
erect his building. Shortly after Mr..
Millard's departure, Mr.. Mills ap-
peared upon the scene and stated that

cluded that his business would not
come before the Board till 3

that Mr.. Millard had been
there and stated that he owned the
property that Mr.. Millard intended
to build upon, and also the property
adjoining. He admitted granting Mr..
Mlllard a lease for fifteen years, but
on the understanding that he would
put up a brick building. He could
prove that Mr.. Millard had no timber
on the ground, and that he had only

obtained permission in wrong
