guilty Of forgery and the jury recon-
mended him to the extreme mercy of

ANAHEIM, CAL, Jan. 13.-A special
meeting Of the city board of trustees
was held Saturday evening last for the
purpose of giving committee of the
directors of the water company hear
ing. 1t seems that one of the COM
pany's stockholders and patrons had
threatened to bring suit against the
water company for failing to deliver
needed water for irrigation. Not long
since the city trustees established the
fact in the superior court that the wa
ter company had no right to the streets
for canal purposes. However, tenn
porary permit to run water through a
certain ditch, known as the Olive

formed that he should go and take pos
session of the rooms now in possession
of Mr.. Muscott.
Mr.. Pease did as directed, and asked
Mr.. Muscott if he was ready to turn
over the Office. The latter declined,
aud asked to be given until l:30 this
afternoon. At that hour Mr.. Pease
again appeared, and Mr.. Muscott said
that in view of the interests involved
he was not ready to give possession of
the office, and asked until 2 o'clock to

Whether Mr.. Pease will grant this
remains to be seen. Some members Of
the board are counseling forcible means
to obtain possession, but Mr.. Muscott
will probably be given until tomorr ow
to decide whether he will vacate volun-
tarily or not.

HAPPENINGS At SANTA ANA
Bids Submitted for Building a County Jail
Notes

Bids Submitted for Building a County Jail.
Notes
SANTA ANA, Jan. 13.-The board of
supervisors today opened bids for the
construction of the county Jail. There
were fifteen bids in all, most of them
being for the building complete, but
several for the iron and steel work
only.
The bid of G. W. Mcneil was the low
est one received, and as he is Santa
Ana man. he will in all probability get
the contract, although his bid is nearly
$4,000 in excess of the limit fixed by the
board. Twenty thousand dollars is the
cost estimated by the architect and set
aside by the supervisors for Jail build
ing.
The urgent necessity for Jail will
no doubt induce the board to go the
$4,000 better in order to secure the de-
sired building.
A vicious crazy man turned himself
loose in Santa Ana this evening, and,
before he could be overpowered, had
terroriZed the entire community by
shrleking like a steam caliOpe and
giving an Indian war dance in the mid
die Of the street. Suddenly he made a
dash for the Richelieu hotel, and with
a big club smashed in the plate glass
window, and was about to disappear
through the broken window when Of
fcars overlook and arrested him. He
fought like wild beast until he wes
landed in jail. He refuses to give his
name. The attending physician pro-
nouces him as crazy. No one here
seems to know him.

PASADENA, Jan. 13.-The city council
met this afternoon in regular session
with all the members present.
Q. @. Brown appeared in behalf of
the property owners on South Moline
avenue to ask that the laying Of six
foot sidewalk be included in the i'm
provements to be made on South Mo-
line, which was granted at once, several
members of the board stating that they
were always glad to help along i'm
provements, and welcomed this addi-
tion to the work on that street as a
needed improvement.
The city attorney stated that some of
the preliminaries in reference to the
dedication OF the five feet of ground on
each side of the street for the widening
would have to be perfected first, as ev-
erything must be regular and the prop
erty properly dedicated to the public
use before the widening could bdgin.
q. II. Towle presented a petition in
behalf of the residents in the vicinity
Of North Lake and Illinois streets ask
ing that some steps be taken at once to
abate the nuisance in the shape of a
pigsty and refuse heap that exists in
that neighborhood. There were a
number Of property owners from that
vicinity present to corroborate Mr..
Towle's statements and to ask that i'm
mediate action be taken. They were
assured that If the nuisance was not
reno we'd at once the city attorney
would take steps to enforce it's remov-
al. Mr.. Towle said 1t would be removed
just outside the city limits, being
now near the line, and he was anxious
to know If anything could then be done
about the matter. He was informed
that so far as the board was concerned
it could do nothing about it when out
side the city limits.
Benjamin H. Hahn presented for the
consideration of the board the matter
of properly disposing of the storm
water on West California street where
it empties into the arroyo. saying that
the people whom he represented we're
anxious that the matter be attended to
before the wet weather comes on. Re-

when Peter KLEIN appeared to ask that

compromise made with the receiver of
the contractor, Mr.. Ed Lockett, repre-
senting the Blinn Lumber company.
Trustees Lukens and Weed stated that
they supposed, when the attorney for
the appellants Withdrew the appeal,
that the matter had been adjusted with
all the property owners, not merely
with that portion of them who had en-
gagged the attorney. They thought all
should be treated alike in the matter,
and Judge Weed went on to say that it
had always been the case that even if
there were but one person to make an
appeal against the assessment for a
piece of work and the appeal was sus-
tanned, all property owners in
cluded in the assessment must
