CONRAD IS LAID OUT HIS LIQUOR LICENSE REVOKED BY TRUSTEES. Delegation of Citizens Protest Against His Place, and Applaud When Council Takes Action Closig Joint. Council fiddled a long time on Tuesday evening before finally deciding to close Conrad's beer joint on Adele street. Councilman Darling was steadfast in his support of the saloon keeper, whom he characterized as a heavy taxpayer contributing $50 monthly to the city treasury. Fletcher was positive the best interests of the city would be subserved by closing the joint, and it was on his motion that action was finally taken. A large delegation of citizens living in the vicinity of the joint were present, and the ball was started when City Clerk Merritt, carefully adjusting his gold-rimmed spectacles, read the following communication bearing upon the subject: Anaheim, Oct. 11, 1904. To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, California. — Gentlemen: We, the undersigned citizens, property owners and taxpayers living adjacent to, and in the neighborhood of, the wholesale and retail liquor establishment of F. Conrad on Adele Street in this City, do hereby earnestly petition you to revoke the wholesale and retail license of said F. Conrad on the following grounds: First, because of the very undesirable class of people said establishment is, and has been drawing to our particular part of the city. Second, because of the above named class of people being often under the influence of liquor, and the passing back and forth in front of our dwellings of these people, walking and riding, being neither safe morally or physically to our children, nor agree- not a sign of liquor in the neighborhood. If Conrad be upheld, residents in no portion of the city would be exempt from the possibility of having a beer joint opened next to them. Darling moved the petition be filed and action thereon taken at next meeting, Conrad to be cited to appear. There was no second. Fletcher—Conrad seems to have known what was coming. He should be here. Hatzfeld again referred to the former petition asking revocation of Conrad's wholesale license. Every resident of the neighborhood signed it. This board served notice on Conrad that if he did not keep a more orderly house and subscribe to municipal ordinances, his wholesaler's license would be revoked. We were asked to withhold that petition for a few days. What did the board do? It wheeled about and granted Conrad a retailers license on top of his wholesaler's license. If the people who signed this petition are treated with justice, the petition should be taken up and acted upon this evening. Frank Baum asked that the petition be acted upon at this meeting. Tyler said the petition contained no specific charge against Conrad, only that his saloon was in the residence section. Rust said there were no retail liquor limits, and he wanted to know how the same would be defined. Darling—I don't consider Conrad's place any worse than Fischer's. Tyler—There has been no complaint against Fischer. Welsel—The two places are not to be compared. Fischer does not sell beer, and you do not see ten or fifteen rigs hitched about his place on Sundays, and drunken men coming out of the place. Darling—Anyhow Fischer's has the smell of the distillery. Rust was of opinion that if Conrad's retail license be revoked and he be given a wholesaler's license and the same be rigidly enforced, it might deal justly with both sides. Hatzfeld said the petitioners would not consent to that. They wanted to get rid of the joint, would keep at it until they drove it out of the neighborhood. Fletcher referred to the fact that Conrad had in the past abused his wholesaler's license, and he was averse STANDARD OIL ENTERS FIELD Warehouses and Oil Tanks Being Erected on Santa Ana Street—New 200-foot Siding. G. W. Heaton of Los Angeles has force of four mechanics at work erecting buildings for the Standard Company on Santa Ana street, where tracks of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe cross one another. It will be two or three weeks before the company will be ready for business, and probably an office will be maintained in town. The buildings now being erected comprise a pump-house at the side of new 200-foot switch constructed by the Santa Fe; a large warehouse; barn; fed up with six stalls; wagon-shed and four steel tanks, 104x30 feet, placed up on brick and cement foundations. Three cars of brick and two of lumber have been received, and workers are now engaged in pushing the buildings to an early completion. Earl Lowe of Los Angeles is the contractor and Supt. James of Los Angeles will be in charge of the work which will be ready for business by Nov. 1st. The lot whereon the buildings are being erected is 125x135 feet, and being enclosed with a board fence. R. A. Joice arrived from Los Angeles on Friday, accompanied by eleven Mexicans, and constructed a sidetrack 200 feet in length for the Santa Fe. The switch runs up to the pump-house and will be used for cars of oil which will be pumped into tanks on the ground. The Standard Oil has entered the local field believing an excellent market exists here for disposing of its goods. There are 200 pumping plants within a radius of three miles of town and these use a large quantity of oil in the city using many carloads each year. The local field is now supplied by two oil firms now operating here. These firms have done a large business during the past year, and manifest no disposition to abandon the field to their large competitor. Death of Mrs. Patterson Mrs. J. W. Patterson died at her home in Long Beach on Friday after First, because of the very undesirable class of people said establishment is, and has been drawing to our particular part of the city. Second, because of the above named class of people being often under the influence of liquor, and the passing back and forth in front of our dwellings of these people, walking and riding, being neither safe morally or physically to our children, nor agreeable to ourselves. Third, because from the presence of this highly undesirable establishment our property is deteriorating in value, and we are unable to induce others to locate in our neighborhood who would be a credit to the city. Fourth, because we want the respectability and morality of our neighborhood and also of our town upheld, and we cannot be expected to tolerate the consequences nor the maintenance of a glaring nuisance of this or any other kind in our midst further, because we believe that such licenses should be confined to the business portion of the city, and that it is neither right nor fair to grant a liquor license to any man outside of the business portion of the city, irrespective of the interests and wishes of every citizen living and owning property in that particular part of the city. J. P. Hatzfeld, P. H. Krick, Frank Baum, Fred C. Rimpau, P. J. Weisel, H. W. Comstock, G. W. Sandillands, Mrs. J. Strodthoff, Mrs. Beatsanchury, A. V. Smith, H. A. Dickel, T. S. Rodgers, Geo. W. Foor. Darling moved the petition be filed and action taken upon it at next meeting. Fletcher—Why not act upon it now? Darling—Conrad has occupied these premises a great many years, and is entitled to some consideration. J. P. Hatzfeld said the residents of the district were not responsible for Conrad's having been there before they came. He urged action be taken on the petition forthwith. Darling—Conrad is entitled to a hearing in this case. He should at least have a right to be here and have a talk with these people. He wanted a full board present (Berdrow was absent.) He said he asked for nothing but justice for Conrad. Hatzfeld—A full board was not present when you issued a retail liquor license to Conrad a few weeks ago. The residents of this section before that retail license was granted had a petition circulated asking that Conrad's wholesale license be revoked. We were requested to defer action for a few days, and were given to understand that the wholesale license would be revoked, but instead of so doing you granted the man a retail license. We were entitled to a hearing before the license was issued, but were not consulted. He characterized Conrad's place as a filthy nuisance. Rust asked if the retail license were revoked, letting the wholesale license stand, would that remedy the evil. Darling—Anyhow Fischer's has the smell of the distillery. Rust was of opinion that if Conrad's retail license be revoked and he be given a wholesaler's license and the same be rigidly enforced, it might deal justly with both sides. Hatzfeld said the petitioners would not consent to that. They wanted to get rid of the joint, would keep at it until they drove it out of the neighborhood. Fletcher referred to the fact that Conrad had in the past abused his wholesaler's license, and he was averse to trying him on again. It would do Conrad no good to defer the matter to the next meeting. Steadman said he had notified Conrad, in accordance with the board's instructions of a few weeks ago, not to abuse his wholesaler's license. Conrad obeyed these instructions for two or three days; then he was up to his same old trick. He (Steadman) had been upon the point of recommending that Conrad's wholesaler's license be revoked, when he was surprised to learn that a retailer's license had been issued to him. Conrad, he said, would never confine himself to a wholesaler's license until he was laid out. Fletcher said it seems to be the general impression that Conrad would have to go, and after a further discussion, in which Darling claimed it would work great hardship to Conrad to revoke both his licenses. Fletcher moved the prayer of petition be granted and Conrad's license be revoked. Tyler—I second the motion. Rust put the motion, and it was carried. Fletcher and Tyler voted aye. Darling did not vote. When Rust announced the result there was loud hand-clapping and applause on the part of the large crowd of interested spectators present. Frank Baum asked if he could have electric lights in his new residence on East street, outside the city limits. The board shook its head. Application of Godfrey Stock for electric lights in his residence on Walnut street. Referred to a committee composed of Darling and Fletcher, for investigation and report. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for September: For water,$303.75; electric lights,$433.50; licenses,$505.75; total,$1243. Delinquents collected: Water,$22.45; lights,$6.40; total,$28.85. Delinquents reported: Water,$20.40; lights,$15.35; license,$10. Total$45.75. Treasurer Hartung reported the following funds on hand: In general fund,$1750.10; improvement fund No. 1,$81; total $1831.10. Recorder Howard reported four cases in his court during the month, fines collected,$35. City Attorney Melrose was given further time to prepare an ordinance on planting shade trees along streets. Application was made for a gas franchise by T. S. Grmishaw, B. V. Beebe, and L. E. Miller; also an application from W.J.Bevans for permission to lay gas mains, the purpose being to local field believing an excellent mankett exists here for disposing of its goods. There are 200 pumping plants within a radius of three miles of town and these use a large quantity of oil on the city using many carloads each year. The local field is now supplied by two oil firms now operating here. These firms have done a large business during the past year, and manifest no disposition to abandon the field to their large competitor. Death of Mrs. Patterson Mrs. J.W.Patterson died at her home in Long Beach on Friday afternoon of peritonitis. She had been ill a month and had been attempting cure by Christian science. Her husband is said to have known nothing of her illness, and the day of her death left his home to go to Huntington Beach. When he returned in the afternoon he was met in the front yard by his sister-in-law, who sobbingly insisted formed him his wife was dead. Mrs. Patterson was taken ill a month ago. She seemed to partially recover through practice of Christian science in which her family seem to be implied believers. She seems to have experienced relief from her illies, at least temporarily through ministrations of "Christian science healers." Last week she suffered a severe recurrence of her allurement, and sent for healing who put in the day praying by her side. She sank steadily, until it was seen she was lingering between life and death. A physician was sent for. When he arrived he found the patient dead.A coroner's jury was empaneled,and the cause of death found to be frozen natural causes. Mrs. Patterson was formerly Miss Dora Scott of this city, and resided here with her family many years.She married Patterson some seven years ago.The they went to reside at Long Beach where Patterson has been gaged in the real estate business,and has done well. Points in Neat Folder The First National Bank has issued a neat folder to its customers, containing "points" for their consideration dealing with the commercial saving and foreign exchange departments o that institution.The first page bears a half-tone of the bank building, with the names of its officers, as follows:W.F.Botsford,president;John Harntung,first vice-president;Frank Sharley,second vice-president;John Harntung,cashier and Miss Olga Zeus,a sistant cashier. Inside the cover is a package o needles of all sizes, emblematic of the "points" contained in the folder. There is also a picture of an agent couple comfortably ensconced under the folds of a capacious umbrella, while rain is pouring in sheets.Above it inscription,"Be prepared for rainy day."This is the status of all country editors.Our bank account growing larger every day.On the fourth page are enumerated many "points," inviting the public to become acquainted with the bank de- tail license was granted had a petition circulated asking that Conrad's wholesale license be revoked. We were requested to defer action for a few days, and were given to understand that the wholesale license would be revoked, but instead of so doing you granted the man a retail license. We were entitled to a hearing before the license was issued, but were not consulted. He characterized Conrad's place as a filthy nuisance. Rust asked if the retail license were revoked, letting the wholesale license stand, would that remedy the evil. Hatzfeld—No it would not. The place would then run as before. The board is well aware of the fact that Conrad did not respect his wholesale er's license, but persistently sold at retail. We had rather he should retain his retailer's license and the city collect the monthly revenue. Darling ventured the opinion that there was personal prejudice behind this petition. Some of the signers did not pay a cent of city taxes, while Conrad was a heavy taxpayer. Moreover he contributes $50 per month to the city treasurer for his liquor license. He did not suppose the petitioners would make this amount good if the license were revoked. Hatzfeld—That is not our business. We are improving the city by erecting residences, and this man comes and opens a saloon at our doors. That is what we object to. How would you like it? Rust said he wouldn't like it himself. Darling—Conrad has done a great deal for this city. Tyler said he thought saloons should be located where they can be under supervision of the marshal, and not in the residence section. Fletcher observed that this was really Conrad's second offense. Darling—The revenue of the city is quite an item. This scrap at Conrad's was an imported scrap, as I have learned. It was, I think, an intentional affair. It would be an injustice to Conrad to revoke his license without notifying him. P. J. Welsel said that when the residents bought property and erected dwellings a year or more ago there was Treasurer Hartung reported the following funds on hand: In general fund, $1750.10; improvement fund No. 1, $81; total $1831.10. Recorder Howard reported four cases in his court during the month, fines collected, $35. City Attorney Melrose was given further time to prepare an ordinance on planting shade trees along streets. Application was made for a gas franchise by T. S. Grmishaw, B. V. Beebe, and L. E. Miller; also an application from W. J. Beavans for permission to lay gas mains, the purpose being to manufacture gas for power, and heating purposes. Gas would be sold at $1.75 per 1000 feet, and when 40,000 can be sold daily, the price will be $1.50 per M. He promised to have his works complete in ninety days. The applicants represent two different companies. Both applications were referred to the ordnance committee for investigation and report at next meeting. Engineer Lewis was given authority to purchase a gasoline test for crude oil at power house. Petition of Asher & Falkenstein, regarding storm drains. Referred to street superintendent. Bills to the amount of $1583.25 were approved. STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING. Stockholders of the Placentia Orange Growers' Association met at Fullerton some days ago and elected the following board of directors: F. B. Dunham, E. F. C. Klokke, A. McDermont, A. Pierotti, E. S. Richman, H. W. Schultz and F. Thum. The board of directors were authorized to take the necessary steps to extend the incorporation for a period of forty years. It was resolved that the association believes it to be for its best interests to market its crop of oranges through the Southern California Fruit Exchange. Mr. J. A. Reid, secretary of the Semi-Tropic Fruit Exchange, addressed the meeting on the marketing methods and facilities of the S. C. F.C. Good shirts of the latest styles are being sold for 50c by Yungbluth & Kroeger. The best guarantee that Rice's tailoring is second to none is that you pay for it when you say you are pleased, not before.

Mayor Chapman of Fullerton sprained his ankle some days ago while engaged in shipping oranges from his ranch, and gets about with the aid of a pair of crutches. Dr. R. A. Cushman has taken his departure from Santa Ana for the northern part of the state, where he has a $5,000 job at the Mendocino insane asylum. His appointment is for four years. P. H. Krick is in San Francisco attending the annual meeting of the Masonic grand lodge. His place as secretary of the water company is being filled by M. Nebelung. Sam Dungan, the well-known Santa Ana ball player, is home for the season, accompanied by his wife. Sam played ball with Memphis the past season, and was one of the heaviest batters in the Southern league. Elizabeth Kluss of this city brought action for divorce against her husband, Paul Kluss, formerly a resident of Anheim, but now residing in Los Angeles. She alleges drunkenness, cruelty and desertion. J. Hahn has started up his electric-power clipper, and is now ready to clip horses of any size, color or previous condition of servitude. Hahn is a horse clipper from away back, and his electric-power clipper makes the meanest plug look like Maud S. Mr. Neff has imported a new walnut huller, which is now in operation on his ranch near town. The huller is a new invention, and comes from Goleta, Santa Barbara county. Sixty sacks of nuts per day may be washed and hulled by two men operating the machine. Miss Elna Carpenter, who has been attending Normal school in Los Angeles, and who had driven with her father from their home at Fullerton to catch the early train for the city, was thrown from the buggy and sustained a severely sprained ankle recently. Robert C. Harris and Miss Daisy Smith of Fullerton were married last week at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Smith. The couple have gone to Ebeno, San Luis, Mexico, where Mr. Harris is engaged in business. Joseph Dierksen of Fullerton and Miss Emma Kloth of Orange were married at the home of Rev. Jacob Kogler at Orange last week. Miss Lena Kloth, a sister of the bride, was married at noon following day to Henry Franzen, a prosperous young business man of Riverside. Mrs. Alfred W. Rannells returned Wednesday from Mexico to visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Hansen, on Orangethpe avenue. On her way to California she stopped for a few days visit with her sister, Mrs. Otto Strodthoff, of Jerome, Ariz. Dr. Rannells will join her here later. The little daughter of A. W. Swain, formerly of this city, died at the place his headquarters. He will purchase oranges for an eastern firm. Johnny knows as much about oranges as any man in Southern California, and will no doubt have several packing-houses going during the season. His many friends hereabout regret his departure, but commend him to the tender mercies of Skip Craig, the Redlands bovolopus, who eats little children and sweats blood. L. Z. Huntington contemplates embarking upon the nursery business at his place in the West End. Mr. Huntington is an experienced tree grower, and is a recognized authority upon matters concerning the horticulturist. He knows every kind of scale that prey upon our commerce, and has done as much as any man in Orange county to destroy those we have and to bar out others headed this way. He will doubtless be successful in his venture. Ben Kraemer was in town at Placentia on Saturday. He states that for some weeks past he has noticed an unusual activity among the ants throughout the valley, in that they seem to be engaged in throwing up more anthills than he has before noticed in years. Whether this is indicative of a wet season or a dry one he does not state, but if his wishes are gratified by the weather clerk we shall have about four feet of rain this season. Druggist Hyer has improved considerably in his condition since Friday, when recovery was almost despaired of. His condition during the entire day was very low, and but faint hope was held out for him. He picked up the following day and continued to improve until Monday, when Dr. Johnson said there were excellent prospects for recovery. Yesterday the patient was resting easily. Mr. Hyer has made many friends during his short residence here, and all will express the hope that he may speedily recover and be able to resume business again. Gardner Hovell, who posed at Santa Ana as Dr. Alston B. Neal of Millersburg, Ky., was taken before Justice Smithwick as a vagrant and received a jail sentence of ninety days. While he is serving this term his family will be communicated with and if they wish his further in carceration in the hope of curing him of the morphine habit, it is probable he will be re-arrested for obtaining money by false pretenses. Evidence to convict him on such a charge is in the hands of Masons to whom he represented himself as Neal. Mrs. Victor Montgomery of Santa Ana has been re-elected president of the California division Daughters of the Confederacy, recently in session at Los Angeles.
