Youthful Bride Changes Mind; Demands Divorce The feminine prerogative, which had already caused one surprise in the affairs of Marguerite Plaskett and her husband, Hallie, again came to the front late yesterday. The youthful Mrs. Plaskett has once more changed her mind. A few days ago, her mother, Mrs. Pearl Ames, alarmed the authorities by reporting the kidnapping of her daughter at Huntington Beach by Plaskett, who was being sued for divorce. It appeared that the young wife's safety was menaced. After a search the authorities located the "kidnaper" and his wife, living quietly and happily at Seal Beach. They laughed at the report and she accompanied him into court where the charge was dismissed, the Plaskett having apparently smoothed out their tangled matrimonial affairs. Attorney Morris Cain prepared to drop the divorce suit he had filed for the wife, when she left Plaskett a few weeks ago, charging that he was cruel to her. Yesterday, Cain was surprised to receive a telephone call from his client. "Don't dismiss that divorce suit," Mrs. Plaskett advised. "I left my husband the same day we were in court. We'll proceed with the divorce." LOCAL BOWLING SIX-GAME TO L. A. The Anaheim bowl three games and the next to the El Dorado team. It was a close contest losing the match by one.

SUCCESS OF BAKE-RITE BAKERIES TOLD AT DINNER HERE The officials of the Bake-Rite Bakeries gave a dinner at the Oyster Loaf Thursday night to a party of local business friends. Many progressive and constructive business ideas were discussed profitably and the occasion will remain a most pleasant memory to all who participated.

Lorenz of Los Angeles, president of the company, said that sixteen stores had been established in Southern California and are operating very successfully. The plans are to have at least fifty stores established by July 1.

GARDNER'S NO ONLY TEMPERATURE HE DECLARES LEAVENWORTH, Roy Gardner, notorious mail robber and champion is again behind prison a threat that his stay "temporary."

The pathos of this message sounds the depths of human feeling. Can it be possible that these four little children will be deprived of a happy Christmas, when the buying of a pair of stockings for each child and filling one stocking of each pair with candy, fruit, nuts and a toy will gladden their sweet little hearts and make the whole world seem like a veritable, fairyland to them? We don't think so! We think there are many persons in Anaheim who will gather much happiness by acting as Santa Claus to these poor little kiddies. We read in the letter: There are two boys and two girls. The oldest girl's name is Edna and the other Mary and the oldest boy is named Ray and the baby is Len." (Here is a poetical opportunity for good hearted persons bearing these names to see that their little namesakes get a good, full stocking for Christmas.) Continuing the lettersays: "Their mother was an orphan and raised up in a strange family. She knows what it is not to get anything on Christmas from Santa Claus, and her heart is almost broken because she cannot provide a better Christmas for her own poor little children. When you give them anything they are so happy and appreciative that you want to help them more and more because it makes you feel so happy to help. "Their mother is a good woman and works so hard when she can find work to do, but there isn't much work for her in our neighborhood so she has a hard time getting along—and keeping her little flock together. Won't somebody send these children something to bring more cheer into their lives on Christmas morning? If they could each have a stocking full of goodies they would simply go wild with sheer joy! Can't you send these Christmas stockings so that their mother can get them before Christmas? Then the children will have them on Christmas morning." Well, what are you going to do about it? Send the stockings to Herald office—send them along—and get the blessing that goes with cheerful giving! Dan Drake Makes Dandy Santa Claus Dan Drake of the Kafateria Shoe Company is a dandy Santa Claus! He brought a pair of children's stockings to The Herald office today—one of them was filled with goodies and toys—the other with an order on the Kafateria Shoe-Company for a $3 pair of shoes! Mr. Drake is some Santa Claus, isn't he? The response to the chants Christmas Gift Sale", which opened a day morning was a sigh.

ED MAN FOR FEDERAL LOCAL BOWLERS LOSE SIX-GAME MATCH TO L. A. TEAM The Anaheim bowling team last three games and the match last night to the El Dorado team of Los Angeles. It was a close contest, the local team losing the match by only thirteen pins. The Anaheim team defeated this opponent in three games played at Los Angeles recently, so the number of games won and lost were equal but the Los Angeles team had a balance of thirteen pins in its favor in the six games. Last night's games were played at Dugas and Myers' place in this city. A return match will be arranged with the El Dorado team after the holidays. YOUTHS PLEAD GUILTY TO MURDER OF MRS. RICKETTS Pleas of guilty to murder in the first degree were made this morning before Superior Judge Z. B. West by Robert Rossner and Charles Handy, charged with shooting Mrs. May Ricketsof Long Beach at Anaheim Landing. The time for pronouncing sentence was set for Wednesday, December 21. Anaheim Stork Favors Boys in This Year’s Race Anaheim Girls vs. Anaheim Boys, Score (end of eleventh period): Boys, 141; Girls, 112. Flath: Boys score 6 in first of twelfth period; Girls score 1. Referee: A long-legged, officious locking bird named Stork. Attendance, approximately, 9,000. What will the harvest be? Edward B Merritt, Anaheim registrar of vital statistics, acting for the State Board of Health, is a veritable storehouse of information, but he cannot answer this question. An examination of his records at the City Hall throws considerable light on the activities of the stork in Anaheim. The records for the year 1921 are complete up to the first of this month and disclose some interesting facts. The number of children born January 1 to December 1, 1921, in the Anaheim judicial district, for which Mr. Merritt is the registrar, 253. Of this number 141 were boys and 112 girls. One hundred and ninety-six children were born within the city limits of Anaheim during the same period. One hundred and one of these were boys. Six boys and one girl have been born since December 1. The number of births appear small in comparison with the total population. Mr. Merritt points out that... TO MURDER OF MRS. RICKETTS Pleas of guilty to murder in the first degree were made this morning before Superior Judge Z. B. West by Robert Rossner and Charles Handy, charged with shooting Mrs. May Rickettsof Long Beach at Anaheim Landing. The time for pronouncing sentence was set for Wednesday, December 21, at 9 a.m. Owing to the youth of both lads, a life sentence is the only punishment permitted. The fact that Rossner admits doing the shooting and exonerates Handy from this part of the crime, which was committed when the boys attempted to hold up Mrs. Rickett and her companion, is expected to have some influence with the parole board of the state penitentiary, attorneys say. GARDNER’S NEW HOME ONLY TEMPORARY HE DECLARES LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Dec. 16.—Roy Gardner, notorious western bandit, mail robber and champion jail breaker is again behind prison bars—but with a threat that his stay here will be only "temporary." Under close guard. Gardner arrived at the federal prison here last night carrying only a small bundle. "Is that all the baggage you have?" Warden Biddle asked. "I think that will do—temporarily," Gardner replied. Gardner is under 25 years sentence for robbing a mail car at Pheonix, Ariz., and assaulting Herman Inderled, clerk in charge of the car. Marriage is never a failure, but often the contracting parties are. Just so it is plea the small boy does not care what kind it is. The number of children born January 1 to December 1, 1921, in the Anaheim judicial district, for which Mr. Merritt is the registrar, 253. Of this number 141 were boys and 112 girls. One hundred and ninety-six children were born within the city limits of Anaheim during the same period. One hundred and one of these were boys. Six boys and one girl have been born since December 1. The number of births appear small in comparison with the total population. Mr. Merritt points out, but the number is almost twice the number of deaths. The "grim reaper" called 121 during the same period. Eighty-four men and thirty-seven women. Of the total number of deaths in the district during the period ninety-nine of the persons lived within the corporate limits of the city of Anaheim. The accuracy of Mr. Merritt’s records can not be questioned as the attending physicians are required by the state law to report births, while an undertaker is not permitted to dispose of a body until he receives a permit from the registrar of vital statistics. Loss of Wife’s Love Caused Man to Take Own Life Despondent because his wife was said to be accepting attentions of other men, Leon Moore of Wintersburg committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a revolver about 6:30 this morning.

Following his investigation of the suicide this morning, Coroner C. D. Brown stated that the inquest would be held this afternoon at the Bundschuh funeral chapel at Huntington Beach.

Los Angeles TWO RECOVERED Automobile thieves were active yesterday and last night in Anaheim and vicinity. The theft of four cars was reported to the city police. While Charles M. Peckham of Fullerton was enjoying the show at the California Theater his car was stolen from in front of the theater. He reported the theft to the police after the show. His 1918 Ford bears license number 187-196. Officers who had been searching for a Maxwell car that had been stolen earlier in the day remembered having seen this number on a car parked on a side street. This led to the recovery of the car by Policeman M. F. Andrade. A new suit of clothes, a pair of shoes and the side curtains had been stolen from the car. F. Patin, 1270 West Lincoln street, reported the theft of a Chevrolet 480 yesterday. License number of this car is 456-901. C. N.

Harrison, one of the two young men held in the county jail on whom suspicion concerning their connections with the killing of two Los Angeles policemen has been cast, may be wanted by the United States Department of Justice, was the information in a letter to City Marshal Sam Jernigan today. Explanations concerning the manner in which Harrison came into possession of the gun found in his pocket were said not to have been satisfactory to local officers. Los Angeles detectives have been working on the information given by the young men concerning their actions and an effort is being made to check their story. The fact that the numbers had been freshly filed off the gun is said to have around the suspicions of officers. Federal agents have requested a description and photograph of the man and state that he may possibly be connected with the killing of two government officers if he is the man they have been led to believe. POLICE ON LOOK OUT FOR CAR, TWO MEN AND WOMAN Orange County officers were notified to take no chances in intercepting Cadillac coupe said to have been stolen by three men and a woman from San Luis Obispo yesterday.

Marshal Steadman appointed Mr. Cheever and the appointment was confirmed by the council. Mr. Cheever is an experienced officer, having served as city marshal and TWO NEGROES TO FACE ASSAULT CHARGE IN SUPERIOR COURT Eddie Woods and Edward Brooks, negroes, accused of an attack upon Darwin Grimes. Crown stake driver, were today in jail in Santa Ana under $1,000 bail each, while awaiting trial in the superior court on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. If convicted, the negroes face a penalty of from one to ten years in prison for the alleged attack upon Grimes at Fullerton Tuesday evening, when they broke one of his arms with a club and slashed his face with a knife because he ordered them to ride in a rear seat of his stage instead of in a front seat, which they wished to occupy. Brought before Justice William French at Fullerton late Wednesday for a preliminary hearing. Brooks and Woods were bound over to the higher court for trial and remanded to jail in lieu of bail, which they were unable to post. There was no hitch in the prompt procedure against the two negroes. When the prosecution threatened to encounter difficulty in producing evidence against Woods, because of Grimes' inability definitely to describe the weapon that had been used on him in the encounter, Woods himself helped out. Insisting on taking the stand himself, Woods, under cross-examination, stated that he used a knife on Grimes. Thus, at one time, he testified to both the assault and the deadly nature of the weapon. It's harder to untie a knot than it is to tie it. That's why it costs more to get a divorce than it does to get married. TO POLICE FORGE OF ANAHEIM LAST NIGHT Charles O. Cleever is today wearing the uniform of the Anaheim police force. The city council at a special meeting held last night passed the emergency ordinance providing for the additional man.
