The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 SUBSCRIPTION - 1.50 Per Year HENRY KUCHEL, EDITOR Six months... $1.00 Three months... 50cts Payable invariably in advance. Transient advertising $1 per inch per month The GAZETTE is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. The two Gibbs liquor cases on trial recently in the Superior Court have cost the taxpayers of the county the sum of $700 and in each of the cases the jury stood 6 to 6. We note a disposition on the part of Santa Ana prohibitionists to have these cases retried at the expense of the county, thus shifting the burden of this costly nonsense from the city of Santa Ana upon the taxpayers of the county. It is time this business should cease. Let Santa Ana settle her liquor cases at home and not shift the burden of expense of these things upon the people of the county. Santa Ana has not secured a single conviction for illegal liquor selling since it went dry—not one; and, moreover, in our humble opinion, it never will on the character of testimony brought forth by the city attorney at these trials. We protest against the injustice of saddling this expense upon the county.

We protest against the injustice of saddling this expense upon the county. Let Santa Ana fight its own battles at home and the town pay the bills. ATTORNEY Ames was cocksure of a conviction in the battery case tried in the justice's court on Monday, and was consequently very much surprised when the jury promptly returned a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Ames is a bright young man; but he will find that airy objections to his opponent's introduction of testimony on grounds of its being "incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial," while they might delay the case and serve perhaps to disconcert the other fellow, weigh very little against the well-supported facts of a case. No warrant for Mrs. Gelderman's arrest should have been issued in the first place. From what we can hear of Anaheim's chances for the pathological laboratory, we have an excellent chance of landing it, provided a free site can be offered. However we have powerful rivals in Riverside and Los Angeles counties, where alert and aggressive towns are out for the plum. These places include Corona, Whittier and Monrovia. Options upon a number of sites have been secured, one of the latest being a tract opposite the high school. Perhaps a sufficient number of options have been secured, and now the more important work of gathering the collateral to pay for one of those sites is in order.

Perhaps a sufficient number of options have been secured, and now the more important work of gathering the collateral to pay for one of those sites is in order. Subscriptions are coming in splendidly. We notice Mr. Chapman of Fullerton heads one of the lists with a donation of $25. How many Anaheimers will do as well? We must have Mr. Chapman with us when the governor and his commissioners arrive in Anaheim. We go our pile upon the mayor of Fullerton, don't you forget it. The pathological station seems almost in our grasp. Let every one put shoulder to the wheel, and may success crown the efforts of the chamber of commerce and other gentlemen associated in bringing this laboratory to Orange county. It is announced that the sale of Santa Ana's municipal electric lighting bonds to the amount of $57,000, said to have been made a few weeks ago to the brokerage firm of N. W.

Plans for improving the property include a large auditorium, club houses and hotel. The auditorium will be used for annual camp meetings during summer and by the Chatauqua. The property consists of four blocks near the center of town, covering 13 or 14 acres. In addition to the gift of valuable land the people have contributed $5000 cash to aid the committee in making such improvements as will fit the property to accommodate the camp meeting. It is more than likely that the coming meeting in August will be held there, though in temporary quartters. It is hoped that by the time of the coming session of the annual conference the corner stone of the new auditorium will be ready for laying with imposing ceremony. This arrangement will be satisfactory to the people of the inland communities, as they desire to spend their summer vacation at the beach. At a meeting of the officers of the Southern California Veteran's Association held in Los Angeles last week, bids were received from various places for holding the encampment in Sepptember. Huntington Beach offered all that was asked for and the new beach town's offer was accepted. The explosion of a gasoline tank in the bicycle store of B. F.

Huntington Beach offered all that was asked for and the new beach town's offer was accepted. The explosion of a gasoline tank in the bicycle store of B. F. Wheeler Wednesday afternoon caused a fire which resulted in the death of that gentleman. The building occupied by Wheeler as a store and repair shop, with all its contents, was completely destroyed, and only the most strenuous work in fighting the flames prevented the loss of the new Stewart-Gibbs business block under construction on adjoining premises. Wheeler started to work with a brazing apparatus and was igniting the engine when the accident occurred. He was covered with burning gasoline and ran from the room with clothes on fire from head to foot. Lloyd Friend, a lame boy 12 years old, the only other occupant of the building, was helped out as promptly as possible. He was badly burned and recovery is doubtful. Weeeler died Friday from the effects of his burns. Wanted For Forgery. A young man named John Carlin, who has been at work in Warner's livery barn for some time past, went into Dickel's store Saturday afternoon and asked to have cashed a check on C. D. Ross, in the amount of $31.50. Mr. Dickel informed Carlin that he was a stranger to him and declined the request. Later Carlin secured John Gerkin's endorsement and Mr. Dickel cashed the check. When it was presented to the bank Monday the forgery was discovered. A warrant was sworn to charging Carlin with forgery.
