SANTA ANA.

SANTA ANA.
Oh, What @ Difference in the weather.
Local Affairs.
SANTA ANA, Feb. 20.-Yesterday was
perfect day. The sun rose over the
mountain tops and shone from cloud
less sky of azure blue. A gentle sea
breeze came floating in from old ocean
and was just strong enough to fan ones
cheek delightfully."-. The young men took
their best girls for q drive in the after
noon, and livery stables did smashing
business. 1t is not strange, then, that
everyone was happy. The churches
were crowded to their utmost at the
morning and evening services, and some
very able sermons were delivered. A
well known divine in this city informed
HERALD representative that in the Ia
religious houses yesterday no less than
$500 persons were congregated to wor-
chip God. This certainly speaks well
for Santa Ana.
But ooh, what a difference in the
morningl" A genuine old Santa Ana,
from away back in the cations, has been
blowing all day, and the air is full of
dust. 1t has been the worst blow of the
season and there is but little doubt that
some damage has been done to the or
ange crop. This wind has been the
strongest one this year, and also the
most disagreeable, for the dust has been
blown about in perfect sea. Tonight
the wind has died down and it looks as
if it was over.
THEY WERE BAD BOYS.
Santa Ana has bad boys. Plenty of
them, and not few that hang around
the street corners are old enough to
know better. But this CITY is not the
only place afflicted. Sheriff Lacy this
morning asked the board of supervisors
if they could not pass law making it
misdemeanor to. carry concealed
weapons. He stated that the residents
of Tustin were being annoyed by gang
of youngsters who were making life mis-
cradle by firing off pistols in that city.
Over in the classic regions of Garden
Grove, among the orange groves and
cornfelds, are some very bad boys, too.
One day last week, while the literary
society of that city were busily engaged
in debating some weighty subject.
Charlie Price, Roy Wertz, Dan Cope
land and Hayes McGinty proceeded to
Paihb tHo PiaC0 Aeui onu tSio"bou by
much disturbance that it became neces-
sary " have the young fellows arrested,
none OF, the boys being over is years Of
age. sHtrrday they were UP before
Judge smith, and after a trial were
found guilty and fined 81 each, which
tney paid. The people of that village
have got tired of putting I'D with the
FRANKS of these hoodlums. and it in safs
to say that a few lessons like this will
effectually settle them. The same
method ought to be tried in this city.
THEY STOLE CLOTHES.
Marshal Nichols has two hard looking
boys, aged about 1S years, whom he is
holding on suspicion of being the two
persons who stole some clothing from
caboose of Santa Fe train sidetrscked
at this place Saturday night. The bows
are shrewd and decline to give their
names, although stoutly denying any
knowledge of the theft. Seven or
eight tramps came to town yesterday,
all being OF suspicious character, but
left in the evening. Several other thefts
have been reported, and it seems likely
that gang OF thieves are operating in
this county.
PROSPEROUS OLIVE.
Olive, as we'll as other parts OF Orange
county, is just now experiencing pros
porous times. L. Schorn, one of our
supervisors, was in town today, and in
conversation with a HERALD reporter
stated that the citizens of that place held
meeting last Saturday, and de-
dided that neat new school house was
needed. So they intend to vote for bonds
next Saturday, and there is every reason
to believe that the bonds will be car
ried. The Olive Milling company will
give the school district a fine lot, and
also furnish water free for two yeare.
The Olive mill is running night and
day and employing large force of men.
Gov. II. III. Markham, who recently
purchased the Palmer tract of 200 acres,
just south of Olive, intends to subdivide
the place and put it upon the market in
small parcels. This will add to the
prosperity of this section in no small
way.
Thirteen teams and large force of
men are employed in repairing and gray
cling the roads in this part of the
county, and when the work now being
done is completed Olive can claim as
good thoroughfares as any part of the
county.
