Stern's Store Burned Fires in two places in Stern's dry goods and grocery store at 4 o'clock on Tuesday morning threatened for a time to develop into a serious blaze in the heart of the city. The fires were found to be fiercely burning in the east front and rear corners of the storeroom, which was filled with a stock of dry goods, clothing and groceries. When the firemen arrived flames were leaping from the front windows, which had been cracked and broken by the heat. The interior was densely filled with smoke which soon burst into flames, threatening a bad fire. The flames had by this time attained considerable headway and it looked for a time that the building and its contents would be destroyed. A painter named Brooks, living at lodgings across the street, was awakened by the fire and gave the alarm. The fire department responded promptly and soon had streams playing upon the fire. Glass in the front and side doors was broken and fire hose inserted. The department soon had the fire under control, and within half an hour the blaze was entirely subdued. Herman Stern, captain of the fire department, was among the first to respond to the alarm. Finding his own store to be ablaze, he led the fire fighters into the burning building, giving orders while his property was being destroyed. No Quorum at Me The second attempt of water stockholders to hold on Saturday resulted in no present, only 1931 shares being to roll call, out of a total of 8000 issued. President Crowther called to order at 10 o'clock tary Krick consumed an hour the roll. During the prognosis Henry Hetebrink used maternal language toward accusing him of making a ment in reference to the location of the right of Hetebrink his mother's stock. Krick insult, and the episode passed comment. When the result was annuated E. McFadden moved the journ to April 25. The motion was seconded desGranges, and the score holders who were present filed downstairs. Of the stock represented McFadden, who owns a single stock in the company, claim 1500 or more, which he elect one director, but not the major portion of it remained away from the content with the present and the present manager company. the fire. Glass in the front and side doors was broken and fire hose inserted. The department soon had the fire under control, and within half an hour the blaze was entirely subdued. Herman Stern, captain of the fire department, was among the first to respond to the alarm. Finding his own store to be ablaze, he led the fire fighters into the burning building, giving orders while his property was being destroyed. The interior was deluged with water and much of the stock will be a total loss. Mr. Stern is unable to account for the origin of the fire. The fact that two blazes were found to be burning simultaneously in different parts of the store lends an air of mystery to the occurrence. The dry goods and clothing part of the establishment are probably a total loss, being drenched with water as well as burned. The groceries are damaged, and much of that part of the stock destroyed. The loss is upward of $5000. Insurance is light, and will probably not cover the loss. The exact amount could not be learned yesterday. As soon as losses are adjusted, Mr. Stern will restock the store and again open for business. Automobile Burned As J. H. Boney was returning from Riverside in his automobile some days ago, and when at a point some miles east of town, the muffler became disarranged and flames from the gasoline tank bid fair to consume the machine. Boney halted at a sandy spot in the road and by the aid of many handfulls of sand succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The auto was later hauled into town and run into a garage for repairs. It was found the woodwork was scorched so badly that it will have to be entirely replaced with new material. The running gear and engine remained intact. Mechanics are now at work upon it, and soon Boney will have a new automobile. Brookhurst Mrs. C. E. Brown and children, of Hillsboro, Ore., who has been visiting with Mrs. Chas.

Sues Walnut Growers Three new suits have been filed in the federal court by the Anderson-Barngrover manufacturing company for alleged infringements of its patent process for bleaching walnuts. The complaints are similar to the one in which the company secured a judgment July 22, 1907, for $25,106.05 against the Fullerton walnut growers' association, and which is now on appeal. The actions filed are directed against the La Habra walnut growers association, the Santa Paula commercial company and the Limoneira company, all of which are cited to show what profits and gains they have made from the use of the bleaching process. The court is asked to issue a restraining order to prevent further infringements by defendants, and to make a money award covering the profits accruing to the several companies. No Quorum at Meeting second attempt of dissatisfied stockholders to hold a meeting day resulted in no quorum besent, only 1931 shares answercall, out of a total of upward issued. Student Crowther called the meetder at 10 o'clock, and Secretick consumed an hour in calling During the progress of rollary Hetebrink used unparlialy language toward Mr. Krick, giving him of making a false statereference to the latter's questhe right of Hetebrink to vote other's stock. Krick ignored the and the episode passed without it. The result was announced, W. adden moved the meeting adApril 25.

The stock represented Clarence en, who owns a single share of the company, claimed to conor more, which is enough to director, but not two. Major portion of stockholders ad away from the meeting, being with the present directorate present management of the A Satisfied Stockholder A. Pierotti was in town on Saturday afternoon from his orange and walnut plantation at Placentia. Mr. Pierotti owns 40 acres in the heart of the frost-less belt, and irrigates it with 66 shares of stock. He also frequently uses water from rented stock and his place is in a high state of cultivation. Speaking of the lack of a quorum at the projected meeting of stockholders in the water company, he said: “If there were any grounds for the charges being made against the board of directors by irresponsible parties, you would see the stockholders flocking to these meetings. But they do not take the trouble to attend them because they are satisfied with the board. “Some months ago, during the prevalence of the flurry, the directors had to go to the bank and sign individual notes for $5000 each, to procure necessary funds for carrying on improvements. I wonder if some of these budding aspirants to a seat on the board would do as much. Probably they would, but no bank would take their note.” Mr. Pierotti was formerly a member of the board, as he was at one time superintendent of the company, and a better official never held either office. He is a sample of the level-headed stockholders who are now supporting the present board of directors from the attacks of a few calamity-howlers, one of whom owns only one share of stock.

He is a sample of the level-headed stockholders who are now supporting the present board of directors from the attacks of a few calamity-howlers, one of whom owns only one share of stock and not an acre of land to locate it upon. Yet this young chap; with his pants seat not yet warm as a stockholder in the company, wants to be elected to a seat on the board of directors. Headed for Alcatraz Louis Dunlap, the blacksmith arrested here last week by Deputy U. S. Marshal Durbin, is incarcerated in the Los Angeles jail in default of $1000 bail. He was taken before Commissioner Van Dyke on a charge of sending improper literature to young ladies through the mails. In default of $1000 he was committed to jail. Dunlap is said to have been in the habit of making improper references to women passing his shop, and as a result of one of these exhibitions was soundly thrashed by a citizen some weeks ago. He wrote offensive letters to a young lady living at Winters and these caused his arrest. The authorities were on the lookout for him for several months, and finally landed him in jail. He will have a hearing in the federal court in Los Angeles in the near future and it is thought he will have a good chance to break rock at Alcatraz for a number of years.
