HOLD-UP OF LOCAL INTEREST Many Rumors Circulate and No Arrests—That Long Beach Auto Yarn. The hold-up of Hart’s saloon on Tuesday evening of last week still engages attention and during the week many rumors have been in circulation regarding the probable method of escape of the robbers, their identity, whether they had local accomplices and whether they will soon come again. The absurdest yarn concerning the footpads stalked into town on Friday morning, when a report gained currency that the bunch had been arrested as they were driving into Long Beach shortly before midnight the night of the robbery, and that $295 in gold and a number of watches had been found upon them. A party driving this way on the Long Beach road beyond Los Alamitos was quoted as saying that he was met by a gang of four men in a high-speed auto driving west at breakneck speed. The four were said to have been under the influence of liquor and shouted to him to get out of the road or be run over. “Husky” Young, a former Santa Ana kid who used to play baseball here years ago, and is now marshal at Long Beach, was given credit for making the arrest. Husky was said to have halted the desperadoes at the point of a big gun, taking them into custody and landing them in durance vile. Many were the encomiuns of praise showered upon Husky, and there were not lacking those who declared he used to be the best ballplayer ever seen. Lacy detailed officers Murray to take an electric Santa Ana and go to Watts all incoming cars. A detective was at Watts where Murray arrived. The officer every car, but failed to men. While at Watts these off-duty auto drive rapidly past Long Beach. They hailed driver refused to stop.

Husky was said to have halted the desperadoes at the point of a big gun, taking them into custody and landing them in durance vile. Many were the encomiuns of praise showered upon Husky, and there were not lacking those who declared he used to be the best ballplayer ever seen on the local diamond. Sheriff Lacy telephoned N. Hart on Thursday night that arrests had been made at Long Beach, and requesting that he and Charles Kuchel accompany him the following day to that place in order to ascertain if the men in custody could be identified as the men who did the work here. These gentlemen accompanied the sheriff to Long Beach on Friday, but on arriving at that place soon discovered that the single man in custody was not the man they wanted. This man had been arrested for highway robbery at Long Beach, and it was thought he might be identified as an accomplice in the local hold-up. To Sheriff Lacy is due credit for excellent detective work on the case. On arriving here the night of the hold-up he took personal charge of the case, telephoning all points of the crime and giving such information as had come into his possession concerning the probable manner of escape of the hold-up party. Some believe they escaped in an auto which passed by the saloon at a leisurly gait a moment before the robbers left. Those inside the saloon listened for footsteps once the robbers got outside, but none were heard. The footpads must have stepped into the street and ran lightly after the auto, or else hiked around the corner to a waiting yellow running-geared buggy standing in wait for them in the alley in rear of Miller's store. This brings up another story. There are those who believe the robbers escaped in this buggy, for persons passing along the street just after the hold-up had their attention directed to a buggy with three occupants shooting out of the alley, and its single horse going so rapidly out of town on Los Angeles street that people thought it was a runaway. This outfit was seen on Broadway during the afternoon. It will no doubt be apparent that part of the stockholder at this time from the direct company statement or transactions of the board past year. Early in the season that the necessity of increasing supply and with that objection could be identified as the men who did the work here.

The girl who takes Scott's Emulsion has plenty of rich, red blood; she is plump, active and energetic. The reason is that at a period when a girl's digestion is weak, Scott's Emulsion provides her with powerful nourishment in easily digested form. It is a food that builds and keeps up a girl's strength. ALL DRUGGISTS: 50c. AND $1.00. detailed officers Baker and to take an electric car out of Ana and go to Watts and search coming cars. A Los Angeles dewas at Watts when Baker and arrived. The officers searched car, but failed to locate their at Watts these officers saw an drive rapidly past, headed for Beach. They hailed it, but the refused to stop. the hold-up a smooth-faced entered the saloon three times intervals, going into the rear room and sizing up the premises. need for a small beer each time, bank only part of it.

By constructing ditches to and from the Yorba reservoir and abandoning entirely the old Yorba flume it will be possible to save the 150 inches now lost as already mentioned. Then by constructing the Yorba reservoir according to the revised plans of Engineer H. C. Kellogg we can impound sufficient of the winter flow to furnish 525 inches for 12 hours per day for a period of three months during the summer, even after allowing for a waste of 20 per cent from evaporation and seepage. The 150 inches of water now lost from the Anaheim stream both day and night as already explained would equal 300 inches per day for a day of 12 hours. This 300-inch saving added to the 525 inches to be furnished by the reservoir will make a stream of 825 inches 12 hours a day, which will be such an amount that all of the flow from the Cajon canal may be carried to the Placentaia and Fullerton districts, instead of a large part of it being diverted to Anaheim as has been necessary here- Another important advantage which we will derive from the Yorba reservoir is that all water can then be delivered in the daytime instead of selling a part of it in the night at half price. The outlet ditch from the Yorba reservoir is partly open cement ditch, the other part consisting of about one and a quarter miles of cement pipe connecting with the Anaheim ditch at the Chinese gardens. The estimated cost of the dam is $27,-000 and of the inlet and outlet ditches $15,000, the money having been borrowed on the company's note for three years. The work of construction is progressing favorably and we would advise every stockholder to go and see for himself the work that is being done. Done by Board of Directors Anaheim Union Water Community—Its Plans for the Future In no doubt be appreciated on out of the stockholders to receive time from the directors of the by a statement or report of the tions of the board during the ear. In the season the board saw essity of increasing the water and with that object in view wells were bored on the comforty-acre tract just south of the Crowther ranch. Before comhowever, the winter rains set supply was greatly increased consequence the installing of power was deferred. Pumping plant in the river bed run during July, August and ber. At the beginning 425 was raised, the stream gradualminishing until we were getting less than 230 inches. This shrinkthe stream pumped is not eng for the pumping-plant propThe expenses of operating the and keeping it in repair have greater than expected. The past year a new ditch has constructed and cemented leading the Tuffree reservoir along the side of the Tuffree ranch to conth the cement ditch at Nenno's distance of three-quarters of at a cost of $4000, thereby doing with a wasteful dirt ditch. In to this large ditch several lattches on the north side have mented during the past year. Rate of efforts to keep it in repair ba flume has each year been in a worse condition, so that and the ditch leading to and cause a loss of 150 inches of It had therefore become necesher to spend $8000 or $10,000 to the old flume which would after only a temporary and unsatisfacrangement, or if possible use other plan which would in the cheaper and would bring an iment of a lasting nature.
