Ice cream and cake, Electrical Disturbances Stop Pumping Plant Friday will hold the record as probably the most freakish in the weather line this section can recall. Sharp peals of thunder resounded overhead and continued in an electrical storm off the coast. The night before had been characterized by lightning flashes to the east, indicating a storm in the mountains and on the desert beyond. Clouds hung loweringly during the most of Friday, and at 10 o'clock showers fell, continuing at intervals until the afternoon. At 11 o'clock a cold wind blew in from the north, which in a few minutes changed to a warm desert wind, resembling a Santa Ana. At Brookshurst electricity played pranks with Charles Baxter's pumping plant, and five times during the morning stopped the plant, which is operated by electric current. It took Mr. Baxter ten minutes before he could induce the current to resume operations. He was lifting 75 inches of water at the time, and his experiences with the lighting are the first ever reported in this section. There was not sufficient rain to damage the beet, bean and tomato crops. A million dollar's worth of beets are yet in the fields in Orange county, and heavy rains would start a second growth, which would deteriorate the crop. No reports of harm have come in from the fields, and harvesting was not interfered with. tea and wafers, for a small charge. Proceeds for benefit of Ebell club house building fund.

Oelkers was accused by Mrs. Konig with the sale of two bottles of wine, valued at $1.50, and accused him of appropriating the money to his own uses. Oelkers was placed under arrest in this city, and taken to Justice Pfeiffer's court at Orange, where the complaint was issued at the suggestion of District Attorney Davis. He gave bail in the sum of $50, and was released from custody. He employed Attorney Ames to defend him, and a jury trial was asked for. The trial was to have been heard on Thursday, but the charge was withdrawn by Mrs. Konig, and Oelkers was discharged. Oelkers went to Orange on Thursday, recovered his bond money and returned to his home in this city. The complaint against him was sworn to by Mrs. Konig. Immediately upon his discharge Oelkers authorized Attorney Ames to begin suit for damages for malicious prosecution. Oelkers also authorized Attorney Ames to bring suit for wages dating back several years, claiming not to have been paid for his services. Oelkers is a nephew of William Konig. Both gentlemen, together with Mrs. Konig, are long-time residents of Anaheim, and all are held in high esteem. Mr. Konig has been in ill health for a number of years past, and his condition has been feeble. Oelkers has been an inseparable companion of his uncle for many years past, and when Mrs. Konig brought suit against him a week or more ago he left the Konig home and is now living elsewhere.

The regular meeting of the board of directors of the A.U.W.Co. was held on above date with all members present except McLauchlin. The minutes of the preceding regular meeting were read and approved. The report of the finance committee was received and filed and warrants were ordered drawn in payment of the various demands. The reports of the secretary, treasurer and superintendent were each in turn received and filed. The matter of continuing improvements at pumping plant No. 1 was referred to the pumping plant committee with power to act. A deed of right of way from P. R. Donahoe te ux. through the Donahoe tract, Anaheim, was on motion accepted and same was ordered recorded and filed. A communication from Daniel S. Halliday in regard to his application for the purchase of property at Yorba, was ordered placed on file. A petition was received from E.W. Crowther et al., offering to pay a specified amount for the exclusive privilege of shooting at the Yorba reservoir for the ensuing year, provided petitioners are also given the privilege of rerenting at the same terms each succeeding year for the next 4 years thereafter, at the option of petitioners. Moved by Sherwood seconded by Bradford that it is the desire of this board that this petition of the stockholders for the renting of shooting privileges should be granted and that Supt. Porter be requested to take up the matter with the attorney and have proper agreement prepared, the same to be presented at the next handlubber friends whom he has not forgotten in his twenty years' service on the sea. Kellenberger draws down a salary of $220 per month, and in 1920, when he shall have rounded out thirty years of honorable service, will be entitled to retire at three-quarters' pay. He entered the navy at 14, and has advanced with rapid strides until he now occupies one of the most responsible positions aboard the flagship. He is in charge of the electrical works, ammunition hoists, dynamics and other electrical apparatus aboard ship. He has seen service upon many ships, and was gunner aboard the Oregon on her return trip from the Philippines. At the outbreak of the Spanish war Kellenberger was in the government naval school at Newport. With his entire class he offered his services to the government, and received a formal communication from the navy department at Washington setting forth that when the government needed his services he would be called upon. Later on he succeeded in being sent on the torpedo-boat McKee; which was ordered to Cuban waters for blockade duty. The McKee took up her place off the harbor of Sagua la Grande, on the north coast of the island. Here Kellenberger took part in the burning of a number of Spanish schooners. He tells us he has reformed, and never burns a schooner nowadays. He captured a Spanish flag from a merchantman, which was stopped by the torpedo-boat, and he sent it to his parents here. The flag was displayed at a political meeting held here by J. C. Needham twelve years ago, and created great enthusiasm. Kellenberger was on blockade duty several months. The fall of Manila served only to tighten the cordon of vessels encircling the island. Cervera's fleet proved merely an incident, although the mosquito fleet on the north shore was ready to give him battle. He showed up at Martinique, then scampered like a jackrabbit across the Caribbean to Cura-soa. Then to Santiago, while the McKee searched the seas in vain for the Spanish admiral. Suddenly a huge vessel loomed upon the fog. The McKee, stripped for action, sprang to meet her. "Bennington ahoy," came the word from the bridge of the intruder. The gunboat signalled, "Cease hostilities." Santiago had fallen, Cervera had been made captive, Spain sued for peace. The blockade was over, and the McKee hiked for home. Kellenberger was in Nicaragua high school favorite, Dan Tucker. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were daintily served by the juniors. The rooms were prettily decorated in freshman colors—red and green. The reception was attended by the school faculty, trustees and students.

Steigerwald and Egge Will Arrive from East Next Week Manager Hadsell of the sugar factory received a telegram from Frederick Steigerwald, at present at Lyons, N.Y., stating he and Mr. Egge would arrive in Anaheim next week, when bids for the erection of the sugar factory buildings will be opened and awarded made. Mr. Egge has been engaged in dismantling the sugar factory at Lyons, and will ship accepted parts of the machinery here. New machinery and structural steel will also be shipped by Mr. Egge, and initial shipments are looked for in near future. Santa Fe headquarters east have approved the building of spur tracks into the factory grounds, and work up on the line will begin in time to receive the first carload of machinery. THE TIMES IS DYNAMITED Early News Received Here of Appalling Disaster At an early hour on Saturday morning news was received here of the destruction of the Los Angeles Times building by dynamite bombs. The community was thrown into intense excitement when it was later learned that not only were reports founded upon fact, and that an inhuman outrage had been consummated, but the situation was made more tense when it later became known that an infernal machine had been found at Gen. Otis' residence. As the bombs were being removed by the police, an explosion occurred and the officers narrowly escaped with their lives. Bombs were also placed at the residence of F. J. Zeehandelaer, secretary of the merchants and manufacturers' association, as well as at the Maier brewing company. At noon the situation was aggravated by a report that Gen. Otis had died on the train as he was returning from Mexico. However this rumor was speedily found to be groundless. Gen. Otis learned of the disaster at Imperial Junction, his son-in-law, Harry Chandler, having wired him. The general's telegraphic reply was SAVED FROM TIDAL WAVE RETURNS AFTER 13 YEARS HERBERT MORTON'S WONDERFUL AND ROMANTIC CAREER Left for Copper River in 1897, following First Klondike Gold Excitation—Packed Provisions Over 500 Miles of Wild Country—In China During Boxer Uprising—Saves his Life by Climbing on Reef During Cyclone and Tidal Wave at Tahai—In South Africa During Boer War—Returns Home Herbert Morton arrived on Monday from Africa, after an absence from Anaheim of thirteen years. He was four years in the Transvaal, where he was interested in mining and other enterprises. He came by way of Southampton and New York. Eight years ago he owned a trading schooner in the Tahati group, and narrowly escaped with his life in the tidal wave which swept over the islands. Thousands were drowned, and owing to failure of hearing from him for years thereafter it was thought by his family here that Anaheim Defeats the Pecans in a Swift Game Revenge was written on the brow of every member of the Anaheim base ball team when they met the Pecan Plating Works aggregation of Los Angeles on the local diamond for the second time Sunday afternoon. The score in the previous game stood seven to one in favor of the visitors, but Manager Fischer told them they couldn't do it again and immediately arranged for another game. The result proved him to be right, but it was a desperate struggle, the score, at the end of the ninth inning standing 4 to 3 in favor of Anaheim. The locals were still in a crippled condition. They expected to be reinforced by Carpenter and Valencia, but neither put in an appearance, and Fritz Schneider, the classy catcher, was off duty, nursing a fractured rib which he contracted in the previous game. Fayette Lewis took Fritz's place. He says he wrote of his experiences to his parents, but the letter, with many others written by him, failed to reach home. Morton spent several years in the Klondike, as well as in China and the Philippines. He will remain here permanently, having had a sufficiency of travel in foreign lands. Thirteen years after leaving home Morton knocked at the kitchen door of his mother's house on Monday morning at half-past 8 o'clock. He had come down by the electric railway from Los Angeles, where he arrived from Salt Lake the night before. He knew the home by the tankhouse, although he had never before seen the new home of his parents. His mother recognized him immediately, and she clasped in her arms the boy whom she had for years mourned as dead. His father passed away a year ago. "I wrote a letter home every week," he said yesterday," on first leaving, and my letters were dispatched regularly at frequent intervals, although few of them reached their destination. In South Africa I paid $5 to send a letter home by carrer to Johannesburg. After the carrer took my money, I presume he burned the letters, or destroyed them in some way. I did not hear of my father's death until four months after he passed away. I went out to the cemetery and looked at his grave this morning. "I went to the Copper river country from here in 1897. I packed my provisions across 500 miles of country. It cost me $4000 for a year's provisions. After two years I returned to Seattle, and went to China in charge of government stock. I was in Pekin at the time of the Boxer uprising. I later went to the Philip- arranged for another game. The result proved him to be right, but it was a desperate struggle, the score, at the end of the ninth inning standing 4 to 3 in favor of Anaheim. The locals were still in a crippled condition. They expected to be reinforced by Carpenter and Valencia, but neither put in an appearance, and Fritz Schneider, the classy catcher, was off duty, nursing a fractured rib which he contracted in the previous game. Fayette Lewis took Fritz's place behind the bat and played the position in professional style, catching five over-confident Pecans in attempting to steal second. Huntington pitched a splendid game, striking out seven men and allowing but eight hits, but his record was exactly duplicated by Schneider, the opposing pitcher. Joe Hendricks, the old reliable first baseman, was in the game for the first time this season, and Severe, a new man, covered the third bag in place of Fischer, who played shortstop. Severe and Wisser each made a two-base hit, and if Pete could run as fast as he can bat his hit might have developed into a homerun. TO ENTERTAIN ODD FELLOWS The I.O.O.F. committee of arrangements to entertain a host of brothers in attendance at Santa Ana, is making elaborate preparations for the visitors here on Thursday. A bull's-head barbecue, under the supervision of F. W. Fleischman and Bob Mills, will be made a feature. The guests will arrive from Santa Ana on a special train on the Santa Fe at 5:30. The band has been engaged to meet and escort the visitors. A large key has been made to present to the delegation—turning the city over to them during their stay. "I went to the Copper river country from here in 1897. I packed my provisions across 500 miles of country. It cost me $4000 for a year's provisions. After two years I returned to Seattle, and went to China in charge of government stock. I was in Pekin at the time of the Boxer uprising. I later went to the Philippines, and returned to Seattle. Then I went to Samoa, and was there during the cyclone and tidal wave eight years ago. With two partners I purchased a schooner, which was sunk in the tidal wave. One of my two partners was drowned, but I escaped with the other by climbing on a reef. After the schooner was wrecked I said to my companions we must save ourselves the best way possible. As the schooner went down we swam for the reef, which two of us managed to reach in safety. The captain of the boat went down. "I went to South Africa, and was there during the Boer war. I took no part in the war. It is a wild and desolate country. When I heard of my father's death I determined to come home I sailed for Southampton and came across New York. I came by way of Salt Lake to Los Angeles, and down on the electric to my mother's home. I went around to the kitchen and there she was. I am going to remain at home and take care of the ranch." City Clerk Merritt reports building permits issued during September totaling $19,500.
