CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY VOLUME XXXV ANAHEIM, Mrs. Gelderman Acquitted Mrs. Maud Gelderman was acquitted by a jury in Judge Howard's court Monday of a charge of battery preferred by Miss Lillie Christen. F. C. Spencer appeared for defendant, while the prosecution was looked after by Deputy District Attorney Ames. The morning was consumed in securing four jurymen. At noon an adjournment was taken to 1 o'clock. It was after 2 before the trial was resumed. At 3 o'clock seven jurors had been selected to try the case, as follows: James Enearl, Frank Fox, Claude Eaton, W. Bashore, P. W. English, Arthur McDermont, J. P. Gibson. It was decided to go ahead and try the case with seven jurors. Miss Lillie Christen, complaining witness, testified that as she was walking with Miss Joyce Littlefield Sunday evening, April 11th, she was approached by Mrs. Gelderman, when in front of Adolph Rimpau's residence. To the latter she said, "I want you to explain the scandalous language you have been using concerning me." Mrs. Gelderman, witness said, made no reply, but struck her with her left fist between the eyes, breaking witness' glasses, which fell to the sidewalk. The broken spectacles were introduced in evidence. 10:30 o'clock, following brief argument by counsel. The jury was out an hour when they returned a verdict of guilty, and Mrs. Gelderman was charged from custody. BUENA PARK Miss Howell, who has been taking business course at Brownsburger's several months, has resumed her position as stenographer in the office of creamery. The creamery is in a flourishing edition, packing more milk at the present time than for months. A good quality of milk is being received daily. The management of the creamery has purchased an up-to-date automobile to be used by Inspector J. B. Co whose labors take him to all points this section. Mr. Cook's duties are inspect the dairies, feed, etc., and horse and buggy locomotion was slow and had to give way to the auto. Rev. Corbin has been appointed sus marshal. The telephone company has compiled its interurban lines in this vicinity. Whitaker's store is the diverge point and the lines run to Alamia Centralia, and Magnolia. Work up the line to La Mirada is being pushed to completion. The new system is great convenience to the rural residents and is an evidence of progress. evening, April 11th, she was approached by Mrs. Gelderman, when in front of Adolph Rimpau’s residence. To the latter she said, “I want you to explain the scandalous language you have been using concerning me.” Mrs. Gelderman, witness said, made no reply, but struck her with her left fist between the eyes, breaking witness’ glasses, which fell to the sidewalk. The broken spectacles were introduced in evidence. Continuing, witness said Mrs. Gelderman struck her again with her left fist. Miss Littlefield interfered, placing her hand upon Mrs. Gelderman’s arm, and saying: “See here, don’t you hit my friend again.” Mrs. Gelderman’s waist was torn in the unpleasantness. Witness on cross-examination maintained her assertion that Mrs. Gelderman was the aggressive party and was to blame for the trouble. Miss Joyce Littlefield corroborated the story of complaining witness, testifying substantially the same as Miss Christen. Frank Palles, who was last year mixed up in a shooting scrape with John Hart, the murderer of Thos. Kearns, testified that he was coming up from the depot and saw the fight and took a hand in separating the combatants. Mrs. Gelderman was the aggressor. He did not see Miss Christen strike defendant. The case dragged itself slowly throughout the afternoon, and at 5:30 o’clock an adjournment was taken to 7. Court resumed session at that hour with Mrs. Gelderman on the stand. She gave an entirely different story of the scrimmage. In response to questions she testified that she feared for some time past that complaining witness would attack her and do her bodily injury. On the afternoon of the trouble she had met complaining witness with several of the latter’s friends. Miss Christen made an insulting reference to her as she passed. She testified complainant and her companion lay in wait for her in order to pick a quarrel with her. When the fight started Miss Christian said to her: “I’ve got you now where I want you, and you’ll get what you have been looking for.” Miss Christen made a demonstration as if to strike her, when she defended herself by slapping Miss Christen’s face, breaking her glasses. At this point Miss Christen was urged by her Rev. Corbin has been appointed chief marshal. The telephone company has completed its interurban lines in this vicinity. Whitaker’s store is the divergent point and the lines run to Alamillo Centralia, and Magnolia. Work under the line to La Mirada is being pushed to completion. The new system is great convenience to the rural residents and is an evidence of progress. There are between fifty and sixty scribbers at last accounts. Floyd Champion is preparing erect a cottage. Progress is the watchword in about the Darling ranch. The putting plant is nearing completion, electric wires leading to the same laid, and in a short while the machinery will be lifting the life-giving fibre from the bowels of the earth. The vast tract of land has been seeded alfalfa, and a beautiful carpet of greens greets the eye where before on the weed in its wild state held swine Mr. Darling is a valuable acquisition to our community and is setting a commendable example to others. Mr. Hiles of the creamery office riding about the community recently was agreeably surprised to note neatness of the places he saw, one particular not having a spear of forest growth upon it. That speaks well to the country. There’ll be chicken on the platter, And meat’ll be put in the hash. For the telephone crew, their appetites too. Left and boarders no more will clash. This stanza is being sung by the boarding-house bachelors, and the flowers are in bloom. PATHOLOGICAL STATION A meeting of directors of the chamber of commerce was held Friday which F. P. Nickey and W. G. Potter representing the Santa Ana chamber of commerce, were present and a discussion entered into relative to San Ana’s endorsement of Anaheim as site for the pathological station. Mr. Nickey said the county seat town was with us, but his chamber of commerce had adopted no formal resolution to that end for the reason that Santa Ana expected to get a large Fe Miss Christen made an insulting reference to her as she passed. She testified complainant and her companion lay in wait for her in order to pick a quarrel with her. When the fight started Miss Christian said to her: "I've got you now where I want you, and you'll get what you have been looking for." Miss Christen made a demonstration as if to strike her, when she defended herself by slapping Miss Christen's face, breaking her glasses. At this point Miss Christen was urged by her companion to continue the trouble. The latter said: "Go to her, Lillie, give it to her." Mrs. Gelderman testified she merely defended herself from attack. She declared she had been insulted and threatened by complaining witness. On cross examination she upheld her testimony at all points, declaring complaining witness had laid for her, had picked the quarrel and that she (defendant) had merely defended herself from an attack. J. Bayha testified that he was returning from the depot and saw the fight. Complaining witness was the aggressor, he said. His testimony supported that of defendant. F. Conrad testified he saw Miss Christen strike the first blow. Murray Paschall testified he was with Miss Christen as she passed Mrs. Gelderman some minutes before the fight. Complaining witness made insulting references to defendant, continuing to call them out at her until after she had passed on some distance. This corroborated Mrs. Gelderman's story. Miss Christen in her testimony said she had said nothing to Mrs. Gelderman. Albert Heffner gave testimony in favor of the defense.

It looked distressingly bad for the O.W.’s at the start. Morrison worked in the box for them and blossomed out as wild as a deer, which circumstance mixed and well-shaken with poor support, acted as goat lymph to the visiting lads, causing them to bring in two runs. But the trouble and anxiety did not end here. In the second spasm the T.L.’s again took long draughts of the lymphatic liquid and—wow!—they made four more runs, which had a nauseous effect upon the foothillers and their bunch of rooters. Any one who would have dared at this period to prophesy a victory for the locals would have been looked upon with suspicion. But that was as far as the city boys progressed and henceforth were neatly and regularly retired. The Olindas were being retired too in monotonous manner until the fifth inning, when something happened to change their luck—they may have drank of the fruitful fluid—and succeeded in bringing in five men. The fans rubbered at one another and wondered how it happen-ed. Champion the visiting twister but that’s natural. Bill Kammeyer ways tries to give a player an deal.

But that was as far as the city boys progressed and henceforth were neatly and regularly retired. The Olindas were being retired too in monotonous manner until the fifth inning, when something happened to change their luck—they may have drank of the fruiful fluid—and succeeded in bringing in five men. The fans rubbered at one another and wondered how it happened. Champion, the visiting twirler, began to go to pieces—up upon the rocks, as it were—and made a try to be retired. He was very wild and those he did get anywhere within speaking distance were connected with with good results. The sixth was a blank affair, but in the seventh—the lucky seventh for the oil wells—a run was made. Burnett knocked a three-bagger, amid the wildest of shrieking, scoring on Morrison's fly to deep center. The ball surely had to be caught and Burnett wisely waited on the base until the fielder had the leather and then started on his sprint for home, beating the ball in. A clever performance. This tied the game and the fans woke up. There was rather a bit of enthusiasm in consequence, much to the disconcertion of the opposing boxman, that lasted until the next inning, when Fuqua gallantly galloped home with a run under his wing. The eighth was another blank and the visitors not scoring in the first of the ninth the fun was over, the locals not playing the last half.

Morrison was a bit bronco at the wire but got into the harness latter on and worked out splendidly in the home-stretch. Manager Young's collection was not so good as the Sunday before. He did not put on his "symmetrical harangue" and may hap that was the cause of it. "Symmetrical harangue" is good. The largest crowd of the season witnessed the game, fully a thousand people were in attendance. The people ought to contribute more liberally toward the pastime. Baseball is one of the cleanest of games and it makes manly young men. The Tufts-Lyon team are all nice young gentlemanly ball enthusiasts.

There is no productive industry so well adapted to children and youth, nor more remunerative. There is no labor more kindly taken to by children when properly directed than that of the poultry yard, especially if the child be given a share of the profits; neither are there many locations where the industry may well be more profitably maintained than in southern California. The farm, the suburban home, the village lot or any space may furnish a site for the enterprise, but it must be always remembered that poultry under no conditions can be kept in too close confinement profitably, unless under strictly sanitary conditions. Absolute cleanliness is essential, fully as much in the poultry yard and buildings as in the dairy. Fresh air and exercise are essential to health in fowls. There are thousands of persons who have idle moments in which they do not know how to employ themselves, and to such we say: Get some chickens and make yourselves useful. If you have had no previous experience, it doesn't matter, but make a start and see if you don't enjoy it. As a recreation for city people and those who spend much time in offices, there is nothing more healthful than caring for a few fowls—something to keep one out of doors. Get some real nice chickens and you will learn to admire them, and your interest in them will astonish you beyond your present belief. And if you are faithful, you will find satisfactory remuneration aside from pleasure. Try it and see. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Amerige and Miss Nancy Gregg of Fullerton left yesterday for a trip to Boston.
