Cole is an even-tempered old gentleman of 60 odd years, never gets excited and has a pleasant word for everybody, but when he gets started (as he was this week) there is going to be something doin'. Cole is superintendent of the Bolsa Chica gun preserves, and some weeks ago was fined $1 for thrashing F. R. Hazard, a man much larger and younger than he, for trespassing upon the grounds of the club. Cole has had a strenuous life of it for two weeks past. A week ago Sunday he was sent word to prepare to die; that 300 men were coming down to Bolsa Chica to put a period to his existence, and that he had better begin to make peace with the Creator. The following day he had the encounter with John Blaylock, which has already been told in these columns. Cole went to meet Blaylock and several others whom he charged with trespass upon the grounds under his care. Cole states Blaylock leveled a shotgun at him and threatened to kill him if he advanced another step. Later Cole was thrown into one of the shallow drainage ditches, falling in the water as deep as his knees. A few days later three men in a wagon leveled shotguns at him and threatened to shoot him. Later Mrs. Cole appeared upon the scene and the three fellows made off, firing their guns in the air. They had attempted to break their way into the club grounds by way of the gate leading thereto, near Cole's residence. Mrs. Cole gathered up the folds of her dress and called to them. "You come a step nearer and you will be dead men." Supposing she was armed with a canon or a charge of dynamite, the chap took to their heels and made Judge Ord came up from Los Angeles on Tuesday. William Heyling has bought the residence of Velt Bentz for $2000. Lee Scott has moved to Downey, where he will engage in business.

Joseph Dauser has moved from his country place to his new home on the corner of Center and Palm streets. A. W. Deardon. a recent arrival from the East, has begun the erection of a residence on his ranch west of town. Miss Rosa Blanchard, daughter of Mrs. J. Cassou, has gone to San Francisco to visit friends two months. G. W. Sherwood has returned from the east, where he was called some weeks ago by the death of his father. A. W. Jones of Los Alamitos, secretary of the sugar factory at that point, was in town on Monday afternoon. Rev. Kohlenberger has purchased from Frank Baum a lot on Hedwig street and will erect a six-room residence. County cash for the beginning of this month, according to official count, is $47,918.39. A month ago it was $70,-970 04, showing a marked decrease. Robert Westphal, who recently came here from Kansas, has purchased the Weiser place, of twenty acres, in West Anaheim Consideration, $4,500. Mrs. Melrose and daughter, Miss Winifred Melrose, have issued invitations for a card party at their residence the afternoon of Wednesday, Nov. 18th. Louis Berrella has purchased forty acres of the McClintock place, east of town, and will make extensive improvements soon. Consideration, $2,000. Assemblyman Amerige has returned from a four months' visit to Massachusetts. He has shaved off his mustache and in other respects seems to be doing quite well. Mrs. E. A. Heshman, formerly of Pittsburgh, who last spring bought the home place of E. W. McCullom, has judged Ord came up from Los Angeles on Saturday on a brief bus mission. Chas. W. Spooner was a businessitor in town the fore part of the town from the West End. S. O. Walker and Harry Whitlewere in town from Buena Park week.

Albert Heffner, for some years an employee of the Los Alamitos factory, has resigned his position foreman of filter presses and returned to his home in this city. Hon. J. W. Towner, formerly rior judge of Orange county, and M. Robbins were over from S.Ana Monday on a business mission shaking hands with old acquaintance. J. V.

Robert Henrich has recovered instantly from his attack of appendicitis to resume his position at McCulloch bicyclery. Rob was operated upon months ago, and contrary to expectations pulled through all right as now as good as new. J. Gutier was brought in to the capital from Yorba suffering from a fracture of the skull. He was pawned horse as he went to place a halter it. His injuries were attended Dr. Rickford assisted by Drs M., as deep as his knees. A few days later three men in a wagon leveled shotguns at him and threatened to shoot him. Later Mrs. Cole appeared upon the scene and the three fellows made off, firing their guns in the air. They had attempted to break their way into the club grounds by way of the gate leading thereto, near Cole's residence. Mrs. Cole gathered up the folds of her dress and called to them. "You come a step nearer and you will be dead men." Supposing she was armed with a canon or a charge of dynamite, the chaps took to their heels and made off. Mrs. Cole had no weapon, but her device worked to a charm. This week renewed threats have been made against Cole's life, and some days ago he armed himself and the men under him, giving them orders to halt all trespassers at the point of their guns. Disturbances of the peace have been frequent at Bolsa Chica for a fortnight past, and serious trouble may ensue. There has been talk of blowing out the dam thrown across the inlet, and other such like threats have been made against the proprietors of the club grounds. The club has notified the county that it will hold it responsible for any damage done the property. It would seem that the time had arrived for the authorities to take a hand in the impending trouble. Cole's land adjoins that of the gun club, and by virtue of the dam thrown across the inlet, he has been able to reclaim eight acres of good peat land. This would be overflowed immediately the dam were taken out, and he is thus strenuously opposed to its destruction. He says that should the land be again overflowed by destruction of the he will sue the county for damages. Bevans Acquitted The trial of Ellsworth Bevans for dispensing liquors at the Santa Ana Social Club in violation of the city ordinance resulted in his acquittal by a jury. Otto Mandell, the star witness of the prosecution, who became a member of the Social Club as a paid detective of the Anti-Saloon League, failed to put in his appearance, although every effort to locate him has been made. No further evidence was offered by the prosecution or defense, and the case was submitted after brief arguments by City Attorney Heathmann and Earl Rogers. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, after being out less than an hour. M. Hyman, practical watchmaker and jeweler, is permanently located here to do work to satisfaction. Give me a trial.
