DEATH BY ELECTRIC SHOCK GEO. KAMINSKI MEETS DEATH WHILE FUMIGATING Comes in Contact With High-Voltage Edison Wire, Plunges Across Avenue and Expires—Recently Purchased, Ranch Here For $4000.00 George Kaminski, aged 26 years, two years here from Iowa, was instantly killed at the J. H. Clever orchard at Fullerton at 3:20 o'clock on Friday morning by coming in contact with a high-tension wire belonging to the Edison company carrying voltage to pumping plants. He was engaged with Clarence McFadden's fumigating outfit, which was under the foremanship of Tom Ford. Other men with the outfit were A. B. Whittemore, Lloyd Abbott and P. B. Davis. It was the latter's first night with the fumigators. Ford, who was standing near Kaminski at the time of the accident, was himself severely shocked, being thrown several feet, but recovered instantly and went at once to the unfortunate man's assistance. The others were uninjured. The accident occurred by the metal portion of the fumigating outfit holding up the tents, coming in contact with Kaminski was dead. Members of the fumigating gang, as well as C. E. McFadden, gave evidence in line with the foregoing facts. F. S. Todd of the Edison company testified as to the character of the wires as already given. Asked by Coroner Smith whether an electric shock would not result in instantaneous death, he replied that electricity acts strangely with different people. He knew of one man who had his hand burned off, yet he is still living and in good health. Dr. Wickett performed an autopsy upon the remains finding the blood liquefied and settling to the back. The heart and other organs were in healthy state. The hands showed burns. It was the doctor's opinion that death resulted from electric shock. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. The funeral occurred on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 from the home of A. Wippermann on Hermine street. Burial services were conducted by Rev. Jacobs of the German Lutheran church. A large number of friends were present to pay their last respect to the dead, and many beautiful floral tributes covered the casket and were banked about it. Deceased was a member of the Fraternal Brotherhood and carried an insurance of $2000 upon his life. He was a young man of exemplary habits. TIM CARR UPPER COURT Los Alamito strained for Beet-Dump Assess Dz It was the latter's first night with the fumigators. Ford, who was standing near Kaminski at the time of the accident, was himself severely shocked, being thrown several feet, but recovered instantly and went at once to the unfortunate man's assistance. The others were uninjured. The accident occurred by the metal portion of the fumigating outfit holding up the tents, coming in contact with the wire overhead. Kaminski was holding a wire attached to the apparatus and received the full force of 10,000 volts. He ran or stumbled across Commonwealth avenue crying "Oh, Oh, Oh," and fell upon his hands and knees. He crawled several feet and fell over on his back dead. The fumigators had treated a row of orange trees and had driven out of the orchard into the avenue to turn around, there not being room enough to do so inside the orchard on account of the presence of the residence. Thirty-five feet overhead ran the Edison company's wires, six in number, three of them being high voltage, carrying 10,000 volts each, two being for electric-lighting service and the other, the inside one, being a guardwire, to keep the boughs of trees from the high-tension wires. The fumigating wagon was being driven over a small bridge spanning a ditch which runs in front of the Clever place, when one of the wheels crashed through the timbers, precipitating the arm against the inside or guard wire. This wire was pressed against the adjoining high-tension wire, when a blinding flash of light issued from the wire for a considerable distance. Ford, who was at the rear with the chemical wagon, ran forward with a torch, calling to the men to get out of the wagon. No one was hurt, and the men counseled with one another to be careful. The arm was engaged with the guard wire, and in the attempt to lower the arm/the fatal accident occurred. Davis, the new man on the job, unsnapped a wire attached to the arm, and being unfamiliar with the work resnapped it. Kaminski unsnapped the wire. The arm not being in contact at this moment with the high-tension wire, although perilously near to it, neither was harmed. Kaminski walked some steps away and picked up the casket and were banked about it. Deceased was a member of the Fraternal Brotherhood and carried an insurance of $2000 upon his life. He was a young man of exemplary habits and was highly spoken of by his friends. He some time ago purchased 200 acres of land northeast of this city, paying $20 per acre therefor. Recently he traded the land for Los Angeles property. His mother was telegraphed to in Iowa, but being ill was unable to come. She contemplates coming here later to make her home with relatives CAMP WILSON HIKE Y.M.C.A. Boys Will Have Big Feed at Laguna On Saturday, Oct. 16, the Camp boys will hike from Balboa to Laguna. This will be a reunion of the Camps and Professors Fiske and Langworthy and H. R. Gaines will be with the boys. The party will leave Santa Ana on the Newport car at 7:30, going to Balboa, then by boat to Rocky Point and down the beach to Laguna. The boys will take canteens and lunch for noon with them and send their baskets with the teams so they can have a good feed when they get to Laguna. It will be a long walk for the younger boys and the committee thinks that the boys under 14 years had better plan a shorter trip later. If some would like to go who could not go to Camp, or if any have questions about the trip, see or write S. W. Douglas, before Oct. 12th. FAMILY REUNION Theodore Rimpau Gathers Large Family About Him Gathering about the head of the family to do him honor upon his attaining his eighty-third birthday, thirty-one children, grandchildren and great grandchildren sat down to a birthday dinner at Theodore Rimpau's The arm was engaged with the guard wire, and in the attempt to lower the arm the fatal accident occurred. Davis, the new man on the job, unsnapped a wire attached to the arm, and being unfamiliar with the work resnapped it. Kaminski unsnapped the wire. The arm not being in contact at this moment with the high-tension wire, although perilously near to it, neither was harmed. Kaminski walked some steps away and picked up the guy wire, seeking to free the arm from the wire overhead. He pulled the arm against the high-tension wire and received a shock of 10,000 volts. The body was carried into the Clever home, a short distance away, and Dr. Gobar of Fullerton summoned Mr. and Mrs. Clever and the men of the outfit attempted to induce artificial respiration, but to no avail. When the physician arrived life was extinct. The body was brought to Fred Backs' undertaking rooms and an inquest held by Coroner Smith at 2 o'clock. The jury was composed of John Hartung, B. V. Beebe M. A. Clever, A. J. Stough, J. Schumacher, and F. C. Rimpau. Frank Hirt, brother-in-law to deceased, was the first witness. He testified Kaminski lived with him at his ranch near Brookshurst. He saw him last alive at 5 o'clock the preceding evening, when Kaminski was on his way to work. Witness had been in town to buy a horse. He was driving home when he met Kaminski. The latter spoke to him pleasantly, asking if he had procured a horse. At 4 o'clock the following morning he was awakened by a man who told him Kaminski had been badly hurt. "Is he dead?" called Mrs. Hirt. The man in the auto outside said FAMILY REUNION Theodore Rimpau Gathers Large Family About Him Gathering about the head of the family to do him honor upon his attaining his eighty-third birthday, thirty-one children, grandchildren and great grandchildren sat down to a birthday dinner at Theodore Rimpau's home on Palm street on Sunday afternoon. Sons gathered with their children from near and far to pay homage to their sturdy sire, and the prattle of grandchildren upon his kneel a charm to the three generations gathered in the spacious household. The sons had left it, one by one, to seek their fortunes in the outside world, and this proved to be a most happy home-coming, when gathered under the paternal roof, they again made merry as in the years that have flown. The day was one long to be remembered, and it was late before the diners left the table. Mr. Rimpau was made the recipient of many handsome presents in honor of his birthday. Those present were: Theodore Rimpau, Rev. J. Dubble, Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Rimpau, Mr. and Mrs. Al Rimpau, Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Rimpau, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Rimpau, Mr. and Mrs. B. A.

CIRCUIT COURT Los Alamitos Sugar Company Restrained from Infringing Patented Beet-Dumping Device—Referee to Assess Damages—Long In Court Tim Carroll on Tuesday received a wire from his Los Angeles attorneys stating that the U. S. Court of Appeals had sustained the U. S. Circuit Court in his suit to restrain the Los Alamitos sugar company from infringing upon his patented beet-dumping device. A year ago last May the lower court upheld Carroll's claim against W. A. Clark and ordered the appointment of a referee to assess damages against the sugar company. In October Clark appealed to the higher court with the result herein noted. The lower court awarded Carroll $5000 as cost, the amount of damages actually sustained by the infringement being referred to the referee. In the opinion of those competent to judge, these damages may be heavy. The suit has been in court a number of years. The sugar company never recognized Carroll's claims with reference to the beet-dumping device, and on beginning to operate the fee their sides so that the same may be dropped. When so adjusted and tilted at easy angle, a load of beets may be dumped in a few seconds. There was no more waiting of rigs to be dumped. While Carroll was laughing and talking with his neighbors about the beet dump he was quietly procuring a patent for it. In later years he has added many improvements, and the dump is now in use in many states of the union. W. A. Clark refused to recognize Carroll's claim and installed a dump similar to the original. Carroll went down to Los Alamitos one day to see Clark. The interview was not characterized by any great gobs of friendliness between the two men. "I told him," said Carroll on his return, "that he had more money than I had, but he'd use my beet dump unmolested only over my dead body." LOCALS DEFEAT PASADENA Score 8 to 1 In Favor of Home Ball Tossers The locals took the Pasadena White Sox into camp on the home grounds on Sunday by a score of 8 to 1. Neither side scored up to the sixth inning, when the locals scored five runs. Valencia and Schneider walked, Carpenter took first on a fielder's choice. With three men on AGREE TO RIVERSIDE PA WATER BOARD JOINS WITH SANTA ANA COMPANY Riverside Quits Pumping in Low Basin, Moves Further Up River Suit Instituted Against Little Water Grabbers in the Upper Valley Anaheim, Cal., Oct. 2, 1909 A regular meeting of the board directors of the Anaheim Union Water Co. was held on the above day with the following directors present namely, Directors Crowther, Port Drake and Sherwood. Minutes of the preceding meeting were read and approved. On motion of Director Sherwood warrant was ordered drawn in favor of the S.A.R.D. Co. for the sum $3500 as payment of the amount d for water. The reports of the finance committee, secretary, treasurer and superintendent were each in turn receive and filed. On motion of Director Sherwood seconded by Director Porter, it was decided that Mr. Loftus be allowed to purchase 2500 gallons of water p day during the boring of his fi well on La Habra sitc. A communication from the City higher court with the result herein noted. The lower court awarded Carroll $5000 as cost, the amount of damages actually sustained by the infringement being referred to the referee. In the opinion of those competent to judge, these damages may be heavy. The suit has been in court a number of years. The sugar company never recognized Carroll's claims with reference to the beet-dumping device and on beginnniig to operate the factory ten years ago installed a device similar to the one patented by Carroll. A later conference between the two principals was stormy and marked by heated words. Carroll informed the millionaire sugar manufacturer that he would use his beet-dump unmolested only over his (Carroll's) dead body. If necessity was ever the mother of invention it was so in the case of Carroll's beet-dump. When beets were first shipped from here to Chicago fifteen years ago a block and tackle were used to lift the load of beets out of the wagon. Then the beets were hoisted up in a netting and dumped into the cars. The netting was thereupon spread in the bottom of the wagon-box, with the ends lapping the sides. In the field beets were dumped into the netting, and later the load was lifted by the means of a block and tackle. The system was cumbersome and snail-paced. Frequently a hundred wagons were in line waiting their turn to be unloaded. Farmers unhitched their teams and left their wagons in the road for the night. There was much discontent, although little outcry, for the farmers were doing well with their beets and looked forward to better things in future. Among the beet-growers whose wagons remained unhitched in the road over night was Carroll's. In his mind's eye he saw the apparatus which has revolutionized the art of dumping and is bringing him a fortune. He had already secured patents for a number of inventions. His inventive genius was quick to see the possibilities of a tilting platform. He saw the finish of the netting, block and tackle. One day Carroll and his boys built up a stack of railroad ties several feet high alongside the track where the beet cars were. A score of farmers waiting at the dump asked him good-naturedly what he was doing. He replied he was fixing a beet-dump LOCALS DEFEAT PASADENA Score 8 to 1 in Favor of Home Ball Tossers The locals took the Pasadena White Sox into camp on the home grounds on Sunday by a score of 8 to 1. Neither side scored up to the sixth inning, when the locals scored five runs. Valencia and Schneider walked, Carpenter took first on a fielder's choice. With three men on bases, Collins hit safely over third, scoring Valencia and Schneider. Burton struck out. Perry was safe on an error of A. Rickerd. Hendrichs sacrificed Collins in, and Spencer's safe drive to center scored Perry, Fisher ended the inning by flying to McGrath. Pasadena scored one in the eighth, when Smith hit safely. Honey was safe on Fisher's error. Robbins took first on fielder's choice, filling the bases. McGrath sacrificed Smith home. Blakely struck out and A. Richard fanned. In the eighth Perry singled, Heinrichs flew to left, Perry stealing second, and came home on Spencer's hit to center. Fisher hit to short, who fumbled. Spencer scored on the play. Valencia sacrificed Fisher home from third. Spencer pitched a fine game, allowing only four hits. The locals touched up the foreigner pitcher for eight hits and nine sacrifices: Huntington was out of the game on account of an injury to his hand. Billy Fisher umpired. A large crowd was present. The local team will play a Los Angeles team here next Sunday afternoon. WILL HAVE TO DROP TITLE Count Arthur West Made a Citizen of United States "Count" Arthur Weet, known among sportsmen all over the county, was on Monday made a citizen of the United States, and two minutes later he was in possession of a hunter's license that cost him but $1. The count, though a resident of Orange for thirty years, has been a Britisher. He made no move to become a citizen until the State hunter's license law went into effect. Hunting with "Count" West is as necessary as growing in age. However, he did not pay for an alien's license, which cost $25, with tho result that $5000 as payment of the amount owed for water. The reports of the finance committee, secretary, treasurer and superintendent were each in turn received and filed. On motion of Director Sherwood seconded by Director Porter, it was decided that Mr. Loftus be allowed to purchase 2500 gallons of water per day during the boring of his fielf well on La Habra sitc. A communication from the City Anaheim relating to the grade of our Broadway pipe line was referred superintendent. On motion duly made, seconded and carried the agreement and stipulation with the Riverside Water Company was regularly adopted and the president and secretary were authorized to execute the same on behalf of the company. Moved by Director Sherwood, seconded by Director Drake, that conjunction with the S.A.R.D. Co. and the S.A.V.I. Co. a suit be brought to the proper court or courts again Blades & Long et al. to enjoin them from taking water upon non-riparial land; and the attorney of this company is hereby directed to act without the attorney of the S.A.V.I. Co., conducting said litigation. Carried. A communication from the Standard Oil company asking the return of drums was referred to the superintendent. Communications from Attorney Hamilton and from Attorney Pope of Los Angeles were placed on file. Applications for the transfer stock were on motion granted. On motion of Sherwood, seconded by Porter, La Habra reservoir sank was rented to Mr. Tousseau for period of three years at $1200 per annum. On motion the superintendent was instructed to proceed with the construction of the Orangethorpe avenue cement ditch and pipe line.

His inventive genius was quick to see the possibilities of a tilting platform. He saw the finish of the netting, block and tackle. One day Carroll and his boys built up a stack of railroad ties several feet high alongside the track where the beet cars were. A score of farmers waiting at the dump asked him good-naturedly what he was doing. He replied he was fixing a beet-dump which would put the block and tackle out of business. The stack of ties grew until it towered above the level of the open beet cars. Approaches were laid of ties on an inclined plane. People smiled as they passed and said: "There's Tim Carroll's beet-dump." It wasn't a good looker, but when Carroll the next day drove a team of nags up the incline harnessed to a load of beets, driving past a hundred rigs waiting in the road their turn to dump, he and his boys were the cynosure of all eyes. For be it known that while it was Carroll's inventive genius which devised the dump, his boys—Joe, Tim and Charley—were always at his side assisting him in his work. The horses mounted up the pile of ties until they were higher than the beet cars, but the foundation was secure, and on they went until the wagon loaded with beets rested upon the crest of the crude device. A side of the box was taken out, the wagon given a slight tilt and the load of beets dropped into the open car below. The beet-dump was born. The next season saw the exit of the block and tackle. A large substantial platform was built, with approaches at each end, alongside the railroad track. In the center of the platform a tilting floor is constructed, and beet wagons have hinges to was on Monday made a citizen of the United States, and two minutes later he was in possession of a hunter's license that cost him but $1.

Hunting with "Count" West is as necessary as growing in age. However, he did not pay for an alien's license, which cost $25, with the result that he was arrested while out hunting duck, and had that amount to pay as a fine. Immediately "Count" West started out to be a citizen. His final hearing was set for Monday morning, and his petition was granted by Superior Judge West. "Do I have to drop my title now, judge?" asked West. "If you brought it over with you, you do," replied the judge jocularly. "I got it after I arrived. I went out hunting in Count Von Schmitz's preserve once and got all the ducks, and some of the boys started calling me 'count.'" SCALE THREATENING ALL APPLE ORCHARDS Washington, Oct. 1.—The principal commercial apple orchards of the country are destined to become infested with the San Jose scale, according to a bulletin just published by the department of agriculture. The scale is spreading rapidly over vast areas each year. The bulletin treats of the fumigation of trees and fruit and contains a statement that a little carelessness in spraying, the use of improper solutions or unfavorable weather conditions at the time of making the applications, may allow the survival of the scale in sufficient numbers to result, later in the season, in their settling on the fruit.

FIRE AT CIGAR FACTORY A. Arnold's Warehouse Burned Yesterday Morning The warehouse at the A. Arnold cigar manufactory on West Center street was burned yesterday morning at 7:30 o'clock. A stock of 22,000 cigars was destroyed and a quantity of tobacco damaged by water. The fire started from the stove in the drying-room. The loss is estimated at $1500, partly covered by insurance. The West End fire apparatus was run to the fire, but the hose was found to be so full of holes that it was next to useless. The fire was kept from spreading to the adjoining residence only by the herculean efforts of the neighbors. SHAFTS AND SINGLETREE Frank Eastman Has a Brace of Accidents on Route 1 Frank Eastman had a couple of accidents the other day while delivering mail on rural route No. 1 west of town which made him feel more than ever that the life of a rural mail carrier was not a happy one, especially when the salary is so small. Frank was hitting the high places near the Kellogg farm, when he came to a bad place in the road. He tried DISPLAY FOR LOS ANGELES CARNIVAL PRODUCTS ON EXHIBITION AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Suggestion Made that Exhibit Be Maintained Permanently—Local Products at Carnival Elicit Much Favorable Comment—Thanks to Donors Anaheim's choicest products on display at the Santa Ana carnival of products have been shipped to Los Angeles, where an exhibit of them is being made at the chamber of commerce. It is suggested that this exhibit be made permanent, and a committee appointed to collect and prepare the same for display. The products on display at the carnival of products elicited no end of commen-dation as being the best arranged among all displays. No section of the county showed finer products, and none were more artistically displayed. To the committee in charge of the work, T. S. Armstrong and W. A. Wallace, thanks are due for their painstaking labors. Two men more qualified in every way for the task could not be found in Orange county. The following products were selec-ted out of the display at Santa Frank Eastman Has a Brace of Accidents on Route 1 Frank Eastman had a couple of accidents the other day while delivering mail on rural route No. 1 west of town which made him feel more than ever that the life of a rural mail carrier was not a happy one, especially when the salary is so small. Frank was hitting the high places near the Kellogg farm, when he came to a bad place in the road. He tried to guide his jack-rabbit steed through two stumps near the roadway when the cavallo ran into a tree, snapping both shafts. He alighted and unhitched the horse and telephoned the post-office for a substitute to come and complete the distribution of the heavy mail he was carrying. C. W. Hedges responded and was frank borrowed a pair of shafts from Grandpa Cheeseman, and after the lapse of an hour or more was again on his way rejoicing, figuring how to get a raise in salary. At the railroad crossing near the Royer place his wagon jolted over the tracks and broke the singletree. Hedges soon came up with him again, the break was repaired and the home trip taken up without further misapp. Frank says he's going to strike the department for a raise in salary. NEVER HEARD OF PERKINS Away Behind Procession Was Man Who Applied for Papers Anthony Ferand applied to Judge West on Monday for final citizen papers, but the judge turned him down. He was lacking in his knowledge of the United States constitution, so much so that Judge West decided that under the law Ferand could not be made a citizen. Ferand came to California from France eight years ago. He has lived at Anaheim three years. Ferand was off on nearly every answer given. Taft, he said, was elected by direct vote of the people. He had never heard of George C. Perkins. California has one United States senator, he said, and his name he did not know. United States senators, answered he, are elected by direct vote. The highest office in the state is the superior court, said he. "How are California's laws made?" asked the judge. "By the lawyers," replied Ferand. He said that Taft and Gillett had documentation as being the best arranged among all displays. No section of the county showed finer products, and none were more artistically displayed. To the committee in charge of the work, T. S. Armstrong and W. A. Wallace, thanks are due for their painstaking labors. Two men more qualified in every way for the task could not be found in Orange county. The following products were selected out of the display at Santa Ana carnival for a permanent exhibit in the space allotted to Orange county in the chamber of commerce in Los Angeles: Potatoes and corn from Wagner Brothers. Corn from Allan Khapp. Sweet potatoes—Joe McDonald. Quinces and Klondyke walnuts from Mrs. Gates. Quinces and apples—Mr. Hopkins. Bellefluer apples—J. O. Reid. Citron of Commerce—C. Eells. Pumpkins—Mr. Dolman. Bell Peppers and Egg Plant—Wm. Champlin. Ice Cream Melon—S. D. Rule. Garlic—H. A. Dickel. The Merchants and Manufacturers' Association at a meeting last night adopted the following resolution unaffected: The thanks of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association of Anaheim is due the committee of management of products at Santa Ana for the generous and kindly treatment received by those in charge of our display during the carnival week, as everything was done for the committee that could possibly be done to help them, and look after the display at nights and over Sunday. Not an article was disturbed when the committee went for the products on Monday morning, and it is hoped the time is not far distant when Anaheim can return the compliment and hold a carnival here. The Los Angeles chamber of commerce is desirous that a display of local products be maintained permanently at its exhibit room, and the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association of this city will probably take steps to see that this plan is adopted. UNKNOWN MEXICAN DIES Asked for Place to Sleep in Barn Expires from Heart Disease UNKNOWN MEXICAN DIES Asked for Place to Sleep in Barn Expires from Heart Disease Pablo, a Mexican aged probably 30 years, died Saturday night in a barn near Cypress occupied by a Mexican named Jose Samora, and his death occurred under circumstances such as called for an investigation, which was held on Tuesday by Coroner Smith at F. Backs' undertaknig rooms, where the body was taken after death. The man, who gave his name as Pablo, came to Cypress Friday morning and said he came from Los Angeles. He said he was sick and asked to be allowed to lie down some where and sleep. Jose Samora who occupied the barn as a dwelling told the stranger to go up in the loft and lie down, which he did. He remained there all day Friday and on Saturday was found to be quite ill, but he refused to have a doctor sent for, as he said he had been sick for a year and was in no immediate danger. Saturday night Samora called up the stairway and asked the man if he wanted some coffee and was about to take a cup of coffee upstairs to him, when he heard the man walk across the floor and then heard the sound as of a body falling and when he went upstairs he found the man lying on the floor dead. An autopsy held Tuesday showed the man had died from heart disease, but was also suffering from tuberculosis.
