CANE STANDS AT SIDE, MAN DEAD IN ROAD PORTIOUS WHEELER MEETS SUMMONS WHILE WALKING TO RANCH Neighbor Harvesting Corn Sees him Approach, Drives Into Thoroughfare, Finds Body Lying Upon the Ground—No Pulse Nor Heartbeat Discernible — Ailing With Heart Trouble, Had Recent Sinking Spell — Coroner Holds No Inquest, Takes Testimony of Relatives His cane still sticking erect in the soft sand where he had fallen, the body off Portious Wheeler, 64 years of age, a native of Ohio, was found at 9:10 o'clock on Friday morning by J. H. Ernst, a farmer, lying in the roadway on Broad street two and a half miles southeast of the city. Ernst had been in his field loading corn when he saw Wheeler walking along the roadway some distance away. As Ernst drove from his field into the road he saw Wheeler's body lying upon the ground. Driving to where he lay, he alighted from the wagon and going to the body found that life was extinct. There was no pulse and no heart-was horrified to behold a runaway-train of gravel cars coming swiftly down the grade. He had but a second to consider what to do. Thinking only of the lives of the hundreds of people aboard the passenger, and ignoring his own great danger, he changed the switch in order that the runaway gravel cars were thrown into the ditch at the semaphore. Oman jumped for the stairway, intending to get out of harm's way before the crash. As he reached the stairway, the gravel cars crashed into the semaphore, demolishing it and rendering it into splinters. Oman was thrown thirty feet, being knocked senseless by his fall. He was picked up, speaking incoherently.“My God, I had to ditch her. I had to ditch her.” He was not seriously hurt, and soon regained consciousness. When the passenger train approached, Oman was surrounded by men and women; who were loud in their praises of his heroic act. He has been recommended for a Carnegie medal for bravery, and the railroad company will suitably reward him. Oman formerly tended the semaphore south of this city, and has many friends here who praise him for his heroic deed. He was formerly an engineer in employ of the Southern Pacific. In a wreck in Ar- CHASED CHICKEN IN HIS NEST BILL FERRAND HEART PROWLER IN EARTH Reaches for Rifle shot, Grabs Up Man Sprints Under Gaslight ent at Brea Cany Merriment to Man Failed to $ When Big Bill Ferrand of Dan Murphy oil properties came you the other day to stress matters, his friend the unanimous council acted strangely.. He telephone poles of his sides rolled with passing automobiles, the sidewalk and he countered his friends their heads gravelly, there was something Bill. He entered several make purchases, but overcame him, and he to get the fresh air into a barber shop for it was with difficulty. Walter Johnson's Manager Says Olinda Boy Leads Them All Walter Johnson, the great Washington, D.C., pitcher, who learned to play ball on the Olinda nine of this county, has received a world of praise since the time he burst into big ball. But perhaps the highest praise yet accorded him comes from the manager of the Washington team, James McAleer, and anyone who knows baseball knows that McAleer knows what he is talking about when he talks baseball. Sporting Life has this: "The greatest pitcher I ever saw," said Manager James McAleer of the Washington American League club. McAleer referred to Walter Johnson and made the statement above when asked to compare Johnson with the pitchers who have gone and those now pitching. It is a sweeping statement when one recalls that McAleer's experience covers more than twenty years of big league baseball. "I guess," said the Youngstown hambardasher, "that I have seen all of them. I've batted against Rusie, Meekin, Breitenstein, Clarkston and a lot of them who were considered the last word in pitching. I've managed the club that had Rube Waddell. I have watched Chesbro, Young, Joss, Mathewson and Brown, but I've never seen the man I'd for a moment consider Walter Johnson's equal. "Johnson has Rusie's speed and his control is just good enough. He's as good an all-round player as he is a pitcher. He can hit and field his position. He is far from a poor base-runner. He is strong and can go the route and come back. "What makes me admire Johnson more than anything else is that he relies on the old-time stuff—speed, curves and a change of pace." He never needs a knuckle ball, a spit-ball, a fade-away or a loop-the-loop act strangely... He telephone poles of his sides rolled with passing automobiles; the sidewalk and he countered his friends their heads gravely; there was something Bill. He entered several make purchases, but overcame him, and he to get the fresh air; into a barber shop for it was with difficulty; condescended to shave.

"I went over to the..." it, found life extinct and telephoned A. V. Wheeler, his son. The old man's cane still stood erect in the sand, where he had probably leaned heavily upon it. He fell over backward, as indicated by the position of the body when he found it. J. F. Wheeler is an employee at the Olinda oil wells. He was in town on Sunday visiting the family. His father asked him as he was departing to come again to see him the following Sunday. Coroner Winbigler found no evidence of external injury. He decided that death resulted from natural causes. The funeral was held at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors at 10 o'clock Monday. Rev. Zeigler, of the M.E. church, conducting the services. The remains were taken to Los Angeles on the twelve o'clock train and buried by the side of his daughter, Mrs. Clarence Robinson, in Rosedale cemetery, her death having occurred just ten days before. Both father and daughter were incased in steel caskets as the relatives may decide at some future time to remove them to Ohio and bury them in the family cemetery. ACT OF A HERO Joe Oman Saves Trainload of People, Narrowly Escapes Death Throwing a switch so that a runaway train of gravel cars plunged into a semaphore in which he was at work, in order to save the lives of a trainload of people, Joseph Oman, well known in Anaheim, one day last week proved himself a hero at Monrovia Junction, narrowly escaping with his own life. Oman was in the act of clearing the track for the approaching passenger train, when he "Johnson has Rusie's speed and his control is just good enough. He's as good an all-round player as he is a pitcher. He can hit and field his position. He is far from a poor base-runner. He is strong and can go the route and come back. “What makes me admire Johnson more than anything else is that he relies on the old-time stuff—speed, curves and a change of pace. “He never needs a knuckle ball, a spit-ball, a fade-away or a loop-the-loop, although he can throw anything in the freak line that any other pitcher knows. “And with it all he's as game as any pitcher that ever lived. He has a mind that is both quick and logical. Some year Walter Johnson will have his share of luck in health and support. When he does he will set a season's record they will all be shooting at for many a year.” REFUSED TO SELL HIS PLACE Judge Shanley Receives Offer, Turns It Down Judge Shanley this week received an offer for the purchase of his fifteen-acre orange and walnut tract on South Lemon street. The offer came from a gentleman at the west end, who asked the judge how much he asked for it. "How much will you give for it?" he was asked. "I'll trade you a house and lot at Long Beach for it." "I wouldn't live in Long Beach if you'd give me the whole town." "I'll give you $500 an acre." "Add $2000 an acre to it," replied the judge, "and I'll consider it. It is my home, and I'd rather live in Anaheim than any place I have seen in all my travels." CHASED CHICKEN THIEF IN HIS NIGHTSHIRT BILL FERRAND HEARS MIDNIGHT PROWLER IN BARNYARD Reaches for Rifle Loaded with Buckshot, Grabs Up Room Instead — Man Sprints Up Hillside, Passes Under Gaslight, Recognized—Incident at Brea Canyon Oil Wells Causes Merriment to Superintendent — Man Failed to Show for Breakfast When Big Bill Ferrand, superintendent of Dan Murphy’s Brea Canyon oil properties, came in from the canyon the other day to attend to business matters, his friends came to the unanimous conclusion that he acted strangely... He laughed at the telephone poles of the streets and his sides rolled with merriment at passing automobiles. He laughed at the sidewalk and he roared as he encountered his friends. They shook their heads gravely, and said sure there was something the matter with Bill. He entered several stores to make purchases, but his merriment overcame him, and he had to get out to get the fresh air. He sauntered into a barber shop for a shave, and it was with difficulty the professor ninety miles per hour will be maintained along the paved thoroughfare. Marshal Kellenberger and a force of deputies will patrol the street, keeping pedestrians and vehicles of all kinds off the thoroughfare during the race. The first car to arrive will be a Maxwell, driven by Clarence Smith, well-known here. Two other racers known hereabout are Harvey Herrick and Teddy Te'zlaff. The former used to live here, the latter hails from Olive. The course is from Los Angeles to Phoenix, A. T., a distance of 510 miles. Prizes aggregating several thousand dollars are offered. The first car reaching San Diego will receive $1000, and the first car reaching Phoenix $2600. W. D. Tremane of Phoenix passed through Anaheim on Sunday evening at 9.30 on his way from Phoenix to Los Angeles. He was third in last year’s race. He said the course was fierce in places. The route is from Los Angeles, through this city to San Diego, and thence east to El Centro and Yuma. Crossing the Colorado, the course lies east to Phoenix. CONCRETE POLES American-Orr Company Erecting Line on South Street CITY DADS DISCUSS VARIOUS SUBJECTS LITTLE OF INTEREST BEFORE THEM AT THURSDAY’S NIGHT’S SESSION Dr. Janss’ Petition for Subdivision of Tract at Chartres and Citron Streets Laid Over for Investigation — City Clerk Merritt Granted Permission to Appoint Deputy On Busy Days—Persons Having Water Connection Must Pay Rates—Notes Discussion of a new subdivision petitioned for by Dr. Janss, on Chartres and Citron streets, consumed most of the time at the session of the City Trustees last Thursday night. A map of the property was presented by City Engineer Steward, who explained that the doctor was prepared to comply with all the requirements governing subdivisions. Acceptance of the map and granting the petition means the extension of Chartres street west from Palm through the property of the Catholic church. The old church building stands directly in the way and will have to be demolished or moved if the petition is granted. Trustee Stark was appointed. acted strangely... He laughed at the telephone poles of the streets and his sides rolled with merriment at passing automobiles. He laughed at the sidewalk and he roared as he encountered his friends. They shook their heads gravely, and said sure there was something the matter with Bill. He entered several stores to make purchases, but his merriment overcame him, and he had to get out to get the fresh air. He sauntered into a barber shop for a shave, and it was with difficulty the professor condescended to shave him. "I had more fun last night," he finally said, as several of his friends held him down to keep him from being slashed with the razor, "than I ever had before in my life." Bill howled. As the professor was about to call the police, Bill quieted down, and between shrieks and shouts told the following story: "Some weeks ago I purchased a dozen fryers and was fattening them at my ranch. They were the finest birds in the canyon, and I looked forward with particular delight to an interview with them on the table. Last night about half-past 12 or a quarter to 1 I heard some one walking in my front yard. I sleep on the east side of the house and am easily awakened. I heard the footsteps making off toward my fryers. I thought it was a varmint; never thought we had a chicken thief in the canyon. I go up and walked to the back screen porch and felt for my rifle. It was gone, my wife having moved it to another part of the house. I felt the broom in its place. I grabbed it and pushed out into the yard. As the screen porch slammed after me a man jumped out of the rear of the yard and started up the hill. I put after him, calling to him to stop. How he did run." Here Bill wept bitter scalding tears. "As he passed under a gaslight up near the barranca bridge, I recognized him." Bill howled with laughter. "He was stepping about twelve feet at a jump, and at each jump he squealed." Bill's friends had to call in assistance to hold him down. "He went up the hill like a deer. Steep hill, too. He got away with one of my fryers, but it will come back, for, for I'll bet he dropped it as he jumped the barranca. He was not at breakfast this morning." Bill shrieked with laughter. "I went over to the boarding-house." CONCRETE POLES American-Orr Company Erecting Line on South Street The American-Orr Concrete Pole company is just completing its contract with the city for the erection of twenty-nine cement electric light poles on South street, the line extending from Los Angeles to East street. This company was organized about six months ago for the purpose of handling and pushing the Orr patent. It is capitalized at $250,000. Dr. J. L. Beebe is its president, Max Nebelung vice president, C. E. Holcomb secretary, and W. J. W. Orr, the inventor, manager and chief of construction. The Orr pole is an innovation in the pole world and is expected to revolutionize the industry. It is constructed of blocks cemented and clamped together, and reinforced with four half-inch steel rods, making a solid inch of steel in each pole. It will bear a weight of 33,000 pounds, but no test has yet been made of its pulling power except sufficient to demonstrate that it has double the strength of a wooden pole of the same dimensions. The company expects to maintain a plant here, also to carry apparatus and manufacture the blocks where contracts are secured. NEW MEAT MARKET Cooper & Shriner Acquire Possession of Klements' Shop W. E. Cooper and A. Shriner this week purchased the Klement meat market at 107 West Center street, and yesterday assumed control of the same, making one of the best displays of meats ever on exhibition in this city. The market will be known as the National Market, and the new proprietors will exert an earnest endeavor to meet the wishes of their customers in all lines. The choiceest beef, mutton and pork will be kept on hand, together with ham, bacon, sausage and lard. Mr. Cooper was for years manager of the City market, and won for it an unenviable reputation. Mr. Shriner has been associated with him for some time past and has proven himself at 9:30 on his way from Phoenix to Los Angeles. He was third in last year's race. He said the course was fierce in places. The route is from Los Angeles through this city to San Diego, and thence east to El Centro and Yuma. Crossing the Colorado, the course lies east to Phoenix. City Clerk Merritt reported that the work of his office was growing so strenuous during the last few days of each month that it was impossible for one man to handle it properly, and asked permission to appoint an assistant. On motion of Nebelung the request was granted, and he is permitted to use his own discretion in the appointment and the number of days his deputy shall be employed. Building permits were granted to the following petitioners: To Mrs. Isabel Hahn, frame residence on Melrose street. Cost $1200. To Richard Krastle, frame residence, on South Los Angeles street. Cost $3000. To G. T. Williams, garage on Clandina street. Cost $250. To Upton & French, six brick buildings on West Center street. Cost $72,000. This is the Anaheim Union High School group. Superintendent Lewis and Marshal Kellenberger precipitated a discussion on the water question by reporting that many persons escaped payment of water rate for several months after being connected in houses in course of construction. The ten dollar fee paid for connection is credited to the householder on his future water account, and it has been the custom to begin charging them only after they move in and the meter is working. The marshal was instructed to charge the minimum rate of one dollar per month from the date of connection as the law requires. Mr. Lewis also asked for information regarding the charge for lighting the grounds during the carnival. Trustee Gates' motion that no charge be made for these lights was carried. Professor Walker's request for permission to stretch Anaheim Union High School banners across Center and Los Angeles streets was granted. CALIFORNIA'S POPULATION "He was stepping about twelve feet at a jump, and at each jump he squealed." Bill's friends had to call in assistance to hold him down. "He went up the hill like a deer. Steep hill, too. He got away with one of my fryers, but it will come back, for, for I'll bet he dropped it as he jumped the barranca. He was not at breakfast this morning." Bill shrieked with laughter. "I went over to the boarding-house. They serve breakfast for the night shift from 9 to 11.30. I was just mean enough to hang around to see if he showed up." Bill howled again. The sidewalk was blockaded by men who wanted to see what the commotion was all about. "He went to work hungry today." Bill howled and howled and howled. "I know him. He weighs about 260 pounds. There are four of them in the scheme. I know them all. But I guess if my wife hadn't changed the rifle, it wouldn't have been so funny. I'd perplexed that fellow's coattails for him good and plenty." AUTO RACERS COMING Los Angeles to Phoenix Course Lies Through This City Leaving Los Angeles on next Saturday evening at 10.45 o'clock, the first of sixteen racing autos will start on the annual Los Angeles-Phoenix road race. The car is due here at about 11.30: It will be followed at intervals of five minutes by fifteen other racers, and a rare sight is promised the speed maniacs until 1 o'clock on Sunday morning. The course will be south on Los Angeles street, and it is probable a speed of displays of meats ever on exhibition in this city. The market will be known as the National Market, and the new proprietors will exert an earnest endeavor to meet the wishes of their customers in all lines. The choicest beef, mutton and pork will be kept on hand, together with ham, bacon, sausage and lard. Mr. Cooper was for years manager of the City market, and won for it an unenviable reputation. Mr. Shriner has been associated with him for some time past, and has proven himself to be a competent and painstaking market man. The two ought to make a strong team. During Mr. Cooper's management of the City market he was visited three times by inspectors of the state pure food bureau, and each time given a clean bill of health. They will find similar conditions prevailing at the National market. The best meats in the market, cleanliness and no preservatives will be the new firm's motto. Give them a call. GAS RATE REDUCED The gas rate in the city of Orange has been reduced to $1.25 per 1000 cubic feet. That announcement was made by the Southern Counties Gas company on Saturday, and it is presumed, will go into effect at once. The rate has been $1.50 per 1000 ft., with a 10% per cent discount for bills paid before the 10th, making a net rate of $1.35. The new price is the net rate. The reduction comes upon the determination of city trustees to frame an ordinance fixing the price at $1, as asked in a petition of gas users signed by 135 persons. E. J. Hartung is on duty again as cashier of the First National bank, following several days of illness the past week. CALIFORNIA'S POPULATION The population of California in 1912 will be 2,534,065, according to an estimate sent out on Monday by the governor's office in compliance with a request of a New York newspaper for figures to be used in an almanac. The estimate was obtained by taking the figures of Statistician Leslie of the state board of health for 1911. The number added to the 1911 figures was 45,809. WILL ATTEND NAVAL REVIEW Senator Smith, Visiting Parents at Santa Ana, Goes to San Pedro United States Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan, who is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. R. Smith, and his sister, Mrs. Ella Fyfe, at Santa Ana, received by telegraph a request from Secretary of the Navy George L. von Meyer that he attend the review of the war vessels at San Pedro this week. The federal senator replied that he would attend. He is to go aboard the Vicksburg. He is a member of the senate committee on naval affairs.

STATE HIGHWAY Board of Supervisors Make Recommendation to Highway Commis-sion The board of supervisors have forwarded the state highway commission at Sacramento its recommendation for the route of the state highway through Orange county. The highway commission some weeks ago asked such recommendation from the board, which action is similar to that in other counties. The board recommends the route to be along Orangethorpe avenue from the county line on the road to Artesia. At the corner of Orangethorpe avenue and the road between this city and Fullerton, the state highway, according to the board's recommendation, turns south, passes through this city, and continues on to West Orange, Santa Ana, Tustin, Irvine and San Juan to the San Diego line. Fullerton and Orange are not to ANAHEIM HIGHSCHOOL TAKES FOOTBALL GAME DEFEATS ORANGE ATHLETIC CLUB 5 TO 0 Large Crowd on Local Grounds Sees Students Play All Around Heavier Team from Neighboring City—Oppo-nents Unable to Carry Ball Into Anaheim Territory — Time And Again Locals Carry Ball to Goal Line—Athletics Prevent Touchdown In a practice game with the Orange athletic club Anaheim H.S. defeated their heavier though poorly organized opponents by the score of 5 to 0. at the local high school grounds on Tuesday afternoon. The home team showed spurts of excellent football form, their interfe-ference was excellent and the line held in great shape. At no time were their opponents able to carry the game into Anaheim territory, and mere "jink" work prevented the home team from making the necessary touchdown, for time and again they carried the ball down to the goal line only to lose on a miss play or other unfortunate occurrence.

CHANGES IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS South Half of Commonwealth to Be Added to Anaheim County Supt. of Schools Mitchell on Tuesday filed with County Clerk Williams four petitions for changes of school boundaries. These petitions have been in the school office for some time, and they will now come before the supervisors. To each petition is attached the recommendation of the superintendent. One petition asks for the change of forty acres from Diamond to Delhi. The petition for twenty acres owned by J. D. Carter is approved. The petition to annex the south half of the Commonwealth district to Anaheim is approved. A petition to place a part of the southeastern part of Mountain View in El Modena district is approved with the exception that the line followed is to be along a property line instead of running across lots. A petition to put a part of San Joaquin and a part of San Juan districts to Laguna district is approved with the exception of a part of the San Juan district, where a change in boundary is recommended in order to facilitate assessments. NEW CHURCH COMPLETED The little bungalow church built by the Christian Scientists of this city is completed and the first service in the new building will be held next Sunday morning, November 5, at 11 o'clock. A cordial invitation is extended to those who wish to attend. Since the organization of the Christian Science society of Anaheim a little over two years ago, it has been difficult to secure a suitable place in The home team showed spurs of excellent football form, their interference was excellent and the line held in great shape. At no time were their opponents able to carry the game into Anaheim territory, and mere "jink" work prevented the home team from making the necessary touchdown, for time and again they carried the ball down to the goal line only to lose on a miss play or other unfortunate occurrence. Krause at 2b played hard and consistently. His handling of punts was exceptional. Hemmerling as a groundgainer is becoming sure and Rannow. at left half showed better form than at any time past. Morthland played hard and steady as he always does, and by his wonderful defensive work broke up one play after another. The line is improving in every way. Jayne being the star as his tackling is sure and terrific. He always gets his man and does all that is needed. Saturday's game at Santa Ana is bound to be a good one and the home boys if the hoodoo of this fall will hold off, should make some one go. CITY BAND REORGANIZES Open-Air Concert to Be Given November 11th The city band has reorganized, and with the addition of a number of new members is practicing diligently for an open-air concert to be given on Nov. 11.

A cordial invitation is extended to those who wish to attend. Since the organization of the Christian Science society of Anaheim a little over two years ago, it has been difficult to secure a suitable place in which to hold services, and the erection of this church edifice is the cause for much rejoicing among the members. In the church is a free reading-room where the works of Mary Baker Eddy, and all the literature published by the Christian Science Publishing Society of Boston, Mass., may be read or purchased. Tarver Montgomery on Monday petitioned for letters of administration on the estate of his father, Victor Montgomery, who died on October 18. The estate upon which administration is sought is valued at $4000, the only real estate being a lot at Corona. The will was written on July 17,1898, and the entire estate is left to the widow, Mrs. Charlie Louise Montgomery. B. E. Tarver is attorney for petitioner. Deputy Marshal Sackett arrested a hobo in Mullinix's drugstore on Monday evening, who is charged with an attempt to steal candy. As Sackett was walking with him to the city jail, the hobo broke away from him and ran. Sackett put after him hotfoot, and overhauled him in front of the opera house, where the man's flight was intercepted by members of the Knights of Pythias, who were assembling for weekly drill. He was locked up on a vagrancy charge. The Anaheim Hawkeye association will hold a social and business session in the banquet room of Odd Fellows' hall next Monday evening.
