Grove avenue, in Pasadena. From recent
conversations with the general boulevard
committee, he knew they had abandoned
the Estudillo canyon and Lincoln park
route, and also the Fair Oaks route and
the choice now lay between the Arroyo
and Garvanza route and the Adobe and
Meridian avenue route, with preference
largely in favor of the latter. 1t only re-
manned for citizens owning property along
the line of this route to petition the city
trustees to widen the avenue to 12O feet.
and agree to transfer enough frontage OF
their property for that purpose A few
persons in the meeting objected to 100
feet, saying it would ruin their property
and was no more necessary than to require
Pasadena to widen Orange Grove avenue
to .12O feet. A committee was appoikted.
! consisting of Messre. Cattern. Graham
and DR.. Hodge, to confer with the general
! committee on this point. and to secure

Eaton proposed, as an alternative route
Prospect avenue, one square west OF
Meridian. He knew 1t to be more prac-
| ticable route. more directly in line with
| Orange Grove avenue and the Adobe road.
and would cost much less in the con-
demnation of property. but the PROPOSE
| ton was received with little favor. The
| friends of the Meridian avenue route are
very much In earnest. and having the
| favor of the leading promoters of the
enterprise, feel confident of success.

ONTARIO

ONTARIO, May 2s-(Regular. Corre-
spondence.) A water strike of much In. .
portance has been made in Blackburn's s
addition. In the well which is being bored
in the. northeast corner of the addition
water was struck last Saturday at depth
of 180 feet, rising twenty-five feet in the
pipe. At depth of 200 feet, after boring
through a six-foot thickness of clay, an.
other water vein was struck, and the
water was thrown up fifty feet and the
tools were buried by sand and gravel. 1t
Il; supposed that the well will yield fifty
miners inches Of water, but it will be sunk
about fifty feet deeper. This strike will
probably lead many ranchers living soutl,
of Ontario to sink wells.
Next Monday is the election on the water
bond proposition. AS the town needs more
water, and as there are no provisions as
to where the water is to be purchased, the
bonds will probably be voted by a large
majority.

SANTA ANA

SANTA ANA, May 2s.-(Regular Corre-
spondence) Mrs. Eliza A. R. Bates, widow
of the late Arastus T. Bates is in a rather
queer dilemma, and all for the reason
that, contrary to the nature of her sex
and without proper regard for the laws
requirements, she has not given her busi-
ness the publicity 1t should have received.
About ten months ago Mrs. Bates was ap-
pointed Administrative of the estate of her
husband, and ever since has been transact
Ing business in that capacity, apparently
III manner satisfactory to the heirs. To-
day, however, Mrs. s. M. Kerr filed petit
ton with the superior court in which she
AYERS that Mrs. Bates has sold property
belonging to the estate and has never rem
dered an account of the receipts nor re-
turned an account of the sale. The petit
tfon also states that the Administrative
has not furnished a statement as to GER
tain sum of money left by Mr.. Bates at the
time of his death. On the petitioner s
showing Mrs. Bates was cited to appear
before the court and show cause why she
has not rendered an account of her pro-
ceedings as administrators. She is re-
quired to file the account on June 4th.
Judge Freemans court room was the
scene of rather amusing incident yes
terday when Antoine Daneri was brouNht
up for his preliminary examination on a
charge of assault with intent to commit
murder, preferred against him by Jesus
Aguerri. Both men are Mexicans of dark
est hue with little knowledge of English
and very crude ideas of things in general
-and particularly courts of law. Aguerri.
with almost his whole anatomy wrapped
In bandages, took the stand to narrate
his version of the stabbing ARRAY, but fell
down over the first question asked him. He
could not tell in what state or county the
fight took place, or what caused the
trouble-in fact, he was not, certain of any,
thing except that he had been stabbed.
and the truth of this statement was appar-
ont without confederation. Daneri's story
OF the fight. so far as ineligible, was in
the nature of an emphatic denial of what
his adversary had attempted to tell and
threw little light on the tragedy. It seems
that all parties present during the disturb
ance were so thoroughly saturated with
sour wine that their memories were para.
lyzed, and the only pertinent statement
drawn from the befuddled witnesses was
to the effect that Daneris wife was thu,
real cause of the disagreement. Judge
Freeman. after hearing the fragmentary
testimony with a repressed smile, dis
missed the defendant.

SAN DIEGO, May 2S.-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) Manuel Chavez, the Mexican
who was held for trial for the murder OF
his mistress at the Senator mining camp
on May 14th. arrived here yesterday in
company with the officers. At his prelim-
mary examination he refused to make any
statement but last night, as he lay in
the steel tank of the county jail, he ad-
mitted the murder. YES he said II
cut the woman with a knife because she
had become enamored of another Mexican
and would not come back to me. We quar-
relied, and, although drew my knife,
1 did not intend to cut her. but when she
would not give in I got mad and killed
her. The knife lost in the river while
I was trying to get away. The woman
killed was not my wife. bun had lived
with her about six months. She was a
Mexican, about 25 years of age" The con-
fessed murderer has no lawyer, but the
court will allow him legal assistance
should he decide to enter a plea of not
guilty. This, however, is not at all likely,
and it is expected that when called to
answer he will plead guilty.
