HIGHWAYMEN AT KATELLA Elmer and Arthur Mefford of Westminster Placed Under Arrest on Serious Charge. Godfrey Drager and Henry Dorman, two walnut pickers employed by W. J. Montgomery at the Katella orchard, were held up, as is alleged, by Elmer and Arthur Mefford of Westminster, near the Nutwood ranch at Katella on Monday evening at about 4:30 o'clock. Their story is that they were returning from Garden Grove, where they had just alighted from a Los Angeles electric car, and were on their way to the Katella orchard to resume their labor of gathering walnuts. When they reached the Nutwood ranch they were accosted by the Mefford boys. Drager's story is that one of the Meffords demanded his money, and assaulted him when he refused to deliver up his coin. The old man was severely beaten. Dorman ran to the Braun Interview With Pillsbury Chief Engineer Pillsbury of the Pacific Electric, in an interview with Melrose a few days ago, said: "part of the company's plans to buy Anaheim, but I would advise people to take no steps at theent time to secure any rights oras all efforts toward locating themare premature. When the companyready to build it will probablyowith your chamber of commercewill be glad of its assistance. I like to make it clear to the Anapeople that none of the recentsituations in regard to securing rigway into Anaheim, which seemthe been brought prominently beforecommunity, have emanated fromPacific Electric company."

When they reached the Nutwood ranch they were accosted by the Meford boys. Drager's story is that one of the Meffords demanded his money, and assaulted him when he refused to deliver up his coin. The old man was severely beaten. Dorman ran to the Braun ranch and informed Mr. Hiatt, foreman of the ranch. Hiatt telephoned Deputy Sheriff Sweetzer at Garden Grove. The Meffords were later apprehended. They deny the hold-up charge, and say the beating administered Drager was done in self-defense. They were both intoxicated. The men were arrested on a charge of assault, but this may be changed to a more serious accusation, pending the result of Drager's injuries. Both men deposited $100 cash bail and were released. They will have their hearing on Thursday. Walnut Thieves Fifteen Winchester rifle shots, fired in as many seconds, told people living near the corner of West and Walnut streets at 2 o'clock on Monday morning that things were doing at the Peaceck ranch situated at the corner of those thoroughfares. The man behind the gun was John W. Peacock, and he had just been aroused from his slumbers by his wife, who was awakened by the barking of a little dog near the barn. Mr. Peacock was out in an instant. Running toward the barn, rifle in hand, he heard the footsteps of a walnut thief hastily beating a retreat from the barn. Fifteen shots sped after him quicker than he probably ever heard a rifle discharged before. He escaped in the darkness. Mr. Peacock found a second dog in the throes of death by poisoning. He authorizes us to say that he will pay $100 in gold coin for information revealing the identity of the poisoner. The dog was a pet of his little daughter. It was buried before she arose in the morning. Walter Johnson, the crack paw of the Washington team of the American league, returned this week to the east, and is at his home in Plattsia. Johnson left this section easel for Wisser, Idaho, where pitched for the team in that city's feat of pitching 57 innings with run being scored by his opposing men brought him into national reelection. He was wired an offer from Washington that he accepted, receiving a fee of $450 per month. His pitching in the big league was a sensation and he became one of most widely talked of players in country. He pitched twelve games for the Senators, winning five and seven by close scores, several of being 1 to 0. He will pitch for Washington again next year, and will Galveston in March to train a new team. His feat of relegating the Phillips second place when that club was sitting every nerve to beat Detroit, notable achievement. "Will you do any pitching inheim this winter?" he was asked. Well, yes, if I get a chance," he replied. Perhaps he will be given a chl by Manager Stewart to show what can do on the local diamond. Johnson returns loaded with lace from eastern baseball centers, wears the same sized hat, and is same gentlemanly, unassuming player he was before he went away cannot help this, for he learned his pitching stunt on the local diamond.

Numan at the evening services. Father Dubbel spoke of the order of Knights of Columbus. counseling them to become good citizens and faithful members of their society. He said: THE COLUMBIAN CELEBRATION We are assembled this Sunday in this house of God, first, no doubt, to comply with the law of the decalogue to sanctify the Lord’s day and in obedience to the precept of the church to assist at the sacrifice of the mass. The added exterior festivity to this Sunday’s service impresses the stranger that there must be an extra celebration going on. To the sincere inquirer we may say, Why are you a stranger in the land and knoweth not the days thy country should celebrate? And if as yet he has not recovered from his astonishment, then in the manner of an argument scholastically called Ad Hominem, we beg to know if there is no commemoration of a natal day for him or his. To forget favors, and in the time of prosperity to overlook the duty of gratitude is quite human. Many a hero has gone to his grave forgotten. Many a noble deed finds no record in the annals of history save in the eternal book of the Lord. Black ingratitude is the sin of many. What is true of the individual is truer of society, martyrs of the public good and still none to chant their praises. Victims of disinterested love—none are found to record their sacrifices. The halo of veneration is even denied them. Their memory is passed as though they never existed. Ingratitude of humans! Oh, nations! Your most devoted servants’ memory you often pass by. Where can be found in all the world’s history a man in whom more literally is fulfilled this sad neglect than in the case of Genoa’s noble son, Christopher Columbus. Stranger, rouse thyself! The twelfth of October has passed by thee unnoticed; it is the natal day of a new world, the greatest event of human memory is passed as though they never existed. Ingratitude of humans' Oh, nations! Your most devoted servants' memory you often pass by. Where can be found in all the world's history a man in whom more literally is fulfilled this sad neglect than in the case of Genoa's noble son, Christopher Columbus. Stranger, rouse thyself! The twelfth of October has passed by thee unnoticed; it is the natal day of a new world, the greatest event of human discoveries. A hemisphere is given to the civilized world. The expansion, the progress, the enlightenment of the age in which you are living. The air permeated with liberty, the air of free men which you are breathing, is a boon which you cannot overestimate. Thanks then to Columbus who discovered a world where land is found affording the oppressed of all nations an asylum, where sacred is held the doctrine of rights of man—inalienable are his rights to life, liberty, happiness and prosperity. It is not my intention to deliver an oration on Columbus, nor to narrate to you his glorious achievements. This subject will receive proper attention at the services this evening. Many are the subjects which might be treated to advantage on the occasion of a celebration like the one of today. We are here as an organized body in the Catholic church celebrating a day dear to our order. We are accustomed to hear and to use certain terms which might, like the tinkling cymbal, resound and rebound and exhaust themselves in mere platitudes. It is good for us to receive these words of commendation and also steadily to have before our minds the high ideals of the flower of the Catholic laity, the ever ready army of the church. But, brethren, useful to us will be a subject "The Order as Seen from Without." We have a mis- Continued on page 4. OBER 17, 1907 NUMBER 52 Special Sale of Blankets.
