Financial Flurry Passing So far as outward appearances go, the banking situation in this city is this week pursuing a normal course. There is nothing to indicate anything like a flurry, and deposits exceed withdrawals. Customers of the various banks are supplied with necessary finances and scrip passes current among tradespeople and shop keepers. Little scrip is in use, and the opinion of those best informed is that the necessity for its use will soon be at an end. Vice President Hartung of the First National was busy undoing a package of new $10 bills just received from the treasury department at Washington. "Our deposits the past three days exceeded by more than $20,000 the withdrawals. The bank's deposits are above high water mark, and so far as I can see, the flurry is approaching its end. We have not felt the situation at all. Our Los Angeles and San Francisco correspondents include the strongest on the coast. Tell the people we are all right, and the flurry will soon be a thing of the past." President Thomas of the German American said the business of his bank continued to show the steady increase which has characterized it during the year. "The bank's deposits are larger than ever before, and we have all the business we can conveniently handle. time of his death, acted as bookkeeper at the brewery.

"The bank's deposits are larger than ever before, and we have all the business we can conveniently handle. Our patrons have treated us and are treating us nicely. The certificate plan will probably continue a short time longer and will then be replaced by metallic currency. The banks of the state are solvent, and were never in a better condition. We are doing a fine business." Cashier Phelps of the American Savings was too busy to talk to the reporter. A number of customers were being waited upon, and deposits were coming in at a lively rate. "Just say that we have more business than ever before. Never had more. The flurry in finances? Never heard of it. The eastern situation is clearing, and we have been all right all the time." Death of Joseph F. Stroka Joseph F. Stroka, a well known and highly respected citizen of Anaheim, died at his home on Lemon street at 12:30 a.m. Monday. He succumbed to an ailment of the stomach which superinduced heart failure. He was quite ill on Friday and a physician was called. On Saturday he recovered sufficiently to be able to resume his labors as bookkeeper at the Union brewery. He returned to his home in the evening, uttering no complaint of his illness. On Sunday he was able to be about his home, but in the evening was again stricken. He sank rapidly, and although everything was done to save his life he passed away at the hour stated. Mr. Stroka was a native of Austria and had lived in the United States twelve years. He resided at Buffalo, N.Y., where he engaged in his profession of teaching.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1908 Held on Serious Charge Mitchell Stevens, a Long Beach butcher, aged 28, is in the county jail upon a charge preferred against him by Mrs. A. A. Lee of this city, who alleges Stevens took improper liberties with her six-year-old daughter. Mrs. Lee complained of the act to Justice Howard on Wednesday of last week. She was advised to lay her case before the district attorney. This she did, and District Attorney Davis caused the issuance of a warrant charging Stevens with attempted rape. Constable Litten arrested him the same day, while Stevens was digging sweet potatoes on the Shearer ranch on Sycamore street. The little girl went to Shearer's ranch to deliver papers on Tuesday. Stevens enticed her into a buggy, it is alleged, and the act complained of was committed. Stevens denies the story. He will have his preliminary hearing as soon as the holidays are over.

The contracting parties were Mr. Claude W. Flack and Miss Dessie McCormick, both of Beaver Crossing, Nebraska. Mr. Flack came to California some months ago, and has been employed in the mill of Mr. Ben Dauser. The bride arrived last week in company with the groom's mother, who will remain with them for some time. The bride was very tastily attired and carried a boquet of white carnations and maiden hair ferns. Decorations of rooms were with smilax and chrysanthemums. Luncheon was served. There were present as guests, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Dauser, Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Carpenter, and Mrs. A. B. Markle. Elder Markle, pastor of the Christian church, was the officiating minister. Mr. and Mrs. Flack left on Wednesday morning's train for Catalina island and on their return will make their home in this city. Tourists Swarming The tourist traffic has been greater than ever this season, and as October 31 was the last day of tourist rates, the rush for tickets was tremendous. The tightening up of times in the east, and the high prices and bumper crops in California, are doing their share to bring the tens of thousands that are coming and create a desire for other tens of thousands to come. More than a score of trains loaded to the guards, started November 1 from all parts of the country, bound for California, and the empty houses that have been built during the summer to accommodate the annual tourist crop, will soon be filled, and hammer and saw will continue to ring as heretofore. Mountains of baggage are piled up at the Los Angeles depots and it will be many days before the jam is released. The waiting rooms are swarming with passengers just arriving, but soon they will be scattered over the fertile val- NERY Alliners, anble stock of s and Novelties.

Olive Depot Robbed The Santa Fe depot at Olive was entered by thieves on Sunday night and a small quantity of change taken. Entrance was affected by prying open one of the front windows with a jimmy and the same instrument was used in opening the ticket cases and the money drawer. Several tickets were taken, among them being ten 30-ride books, two 1000-mile tickets and a Salt Lake coupon. Ticket stubs for the month were also taken, and Agent H. B. Cochrane anticipates considerable trouble in getting the record of the month's sales straightened out. An express package containing a phonograph was broken open but the musical instrument was not taken. Mr. Cochrane discovered the visit of the burglar upon opening the depot Monday morning at 6 o'clock, and immediately notified the sheriff's office. Mrs. McCollum has been quite seriously ill of peritonitis during the past week, but her condition yesterday was reported as improved. Zette. EMBER 21, 1907.
