Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. BOYS TURNED SWITCH Two El Toro Youths Wanted to See Train Run Up Hill Ralph Buster, aged 12, and William Pesterfield, aged 10, of El Toro broke off the lock and turned the switch of the Galivan siding that came near wrecking a north-bound Santa Fe passenger train about 5 o'clock on the afternoon of June 2d. This was the first information brought to the district attorney's office this week by C. E. Rotherhoefer, special agent and detective of the Santa Fe. Complaints were later sworn to by him in the Juvenile court charging the two boys with turning the switch, and they are to be brought into court to face Judge West. On the afternoon of June 2 the Santa Fe passenger train approached the siding at a high rate of speed. When the engineer saw that the switch had been turned, and that the train was leaving the main track he threw on the air full force and slid HAD A NARROW ESCAPE Patrick Driggs of Brea Wrestles With an Unruly Automobile An experience that might have cost him his life was the lot of Patrick Driggs, the Brea garage man, last Saturday afternoon. Answering a call to make a drive, he cranked his machine when it started forward, having been placed on low speed. In an effort to stop the auto, Driggs leaped over the dash and into the seat and applied the levers, but for some reason he threw the machine into high instead of applying the brake. The result was machine, driver and all crashed through the side of the garage at a terrific speed. Where the machine tore, its way through the walls of the building there was a girder just high enough to allow the auto to pass under, but the driver fortunately saw this obstruction in time to drop to the floor of the car and save his neck. As it was, Mr. Driggs was quite badly injured on the right side, the report received here saying three ribs and the right arm were fractured. REMEMBER THEIR OFFICER The regular monthly meeting of St. Michael's Guild, Anaheim, was held on Thursday, June 6, with Mrs. Dearing, Glassell street, Orange, as hostess, assisted by Mesdames Dwyer, Coulter and Closson. About forty were present, including several gen- the Santa Fe. Complaints were later sworn to by him in the Juvenile court charging the two boys with turning the switch, and they are to be brought into court to face Judge West. On the afternoon of June 2 the Santa Fe passenger train approached the siding at a high rate of speed. When the engineer saw that the switch had been turned, and that the train was leaving the main track he threw on the air full force and slid the wheels. It so happened that in the construction of the siding, the earth had not been well packed, and the inside rail dropped almost a foot lower than the outside rail. That and the fact that the wheels were made to slide kept the engine from overturning, in which event, trainmen might have been killed. As it was the train was brought to a sudden stop with no great damage done except the breaking of the derailer. Examination showed that the lock had been borken from the switch and had been thrown away. There was some talk that the act was committed by I.W.W.'s who were in the vicinity, but there were few if any who had faith in that story. Rothenhoefer was put on the job by the Santa Fe, and the result of his investigation was to prove that the two boys were responsible for what might have been a disastrous wreck. William Pesterfield is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Pesterfield of El Toro, and a cousin of Ralph Buster, who is a charge of the county and lives at the Pesterfield home. They state that on the afternoon of Sunday, June 2, they were playing along the railroad track and reached Galivan siding, south of El Toro. The southbound train passed them at a good rate of speed. It struck them that it would be fun to see the next train, which they knew was due in a few minutes, take the siding, which was run up a grade. They say they wanted to see the train go up that hill, not thinking that there was any danger to the train. They used a rock to break off the lock, which they threw into the grass, and turned the switch. They stationed themselves near the place and waited for the train, which was not long in arriving. After the train came to a stop, they made for home.

About forty were present, including several gentlemen visitors. After the business meeting the usual social hour was enjoyed, when delicious refreshments were served, and a reading by Mrs. Sherwood received a merited encore. During the afternoon Mrs. Harbeson, in a graceful speech, presented Mrs. Dearing from the guild with a very handsome silver-mounted wafer and doily, and a beautiful amethyst breastpin, in appreciation of her long and faithful service as secretary and treasurer of the guild. Mrs. Dearing was overcome, and could hardly find words in which to express her surprise and delight. She has just entered on her sixteenth year as secretary and twelfth as treasurer of the guild which represents the church in which Mr. Dearing officiated for more than twelve years. STIR IN SOCIAL CIRCLES A certain Anaheim lady met another on Center street and drawing her aside remarked: "Have you heard there is to be quite a stir in Anaheim's social set before long?" "Indeed?" replied the second lady. "Yes," replied the first, "and I am told many of the porminent women of the town will have a hand in the uprising." "Can it be true?" sighed number two. "It certainly is," responded number one, "and a young man started the mix-up." "What can it be?" asked number two. "Why, the cake contest on the 20th, to be held at the Beebe garage on Center street. You better bake something and get a prize. Everybody making entry for the baking contest given under the auspices of the Ebell Society of Anaheim will be given a five pound sack of flour, a package of coffee and a box of Hydro-Puro."

Hansel Wood and Jesse H. Wood of Los Angeles, C. F. Mansur of Santa Ana, and the Gold River Mining Company, asking judgment against the defendants on account of a judgment of $750.62 assigned to him by A. B. Kuster, and seeking to ascertain the amount due from the defendants for stock bought. Kuster alleges that W. E. McEuen had issued to him for labor 90,000 shares of the stock of the company. This stock, he holds, did not cost McEuen in excess of 10 cents a share the par value being $1, and that the amount of his alleged labor did not exceed $6000. He further alleges that this stock was indorsed by McEuen and was in the ownership of the company as its own stock, and from it the corporation transferred large amounts of stock, which it sold to stockholders. J. Hansel Wood bought 10,000 shares and Jesse H. Wood 20,0000 shares of the stock. The entire issue was 500,000 shares. ADVERTISED LETTERS L. A. Durfee, Ubaldo Cary, Little Mille Henry, Jack Ladd, P.

ROOT IS CHAIRMAN Taft Forces Win Temporary Organization at Chicago After six hours of tumultuous battling for control of the republican national convention at Chicago, United States Senator Elihu Root was chosen temporary chairman at 6 o'clock Tuesday night, marking the first victory for Taft in the battle royal for presidential nominee on the republican ticket. The vote on the final ballot was as follows: Elihu Root, 558; Francis E. McGovern, 502; W. S. Lauder, 9; Walter L. Hauser, 3; Asle J. Gronna, 1. Absent and not voting, 5. Total, 1078. Necessary for choice, 540. The big fight that shows the complexion of the convention as between Taft and Roosevelt is over, with the regular candidate for chairman seated, but it is freely predicted in Chicago that the Roosevelt forces will bolt the convention as soon as the nomination speeches are made and nominate their candidate on an independent ticket.

Dickel has this week added four large triple-deck floor show cases. These cases are beauties, the tops being beveled French plate glass. The installation of this additional equipment necessitated the re-arrangement of the store to a certain extent and the Dickel establishment has been a busy place this week as a result. Hello!

JUST A THOUGHT When we lift the curtain of time and gaze backward over the past of our lives we often see many errors that could have been rectified had we had better foresight. The pathway of life is filled with pitfalls and shrewd indeed is he who can run the gauntlet of time without finding his weary feet ensnared in some of the tangles that line the journey of existence. This being the case it behooves all of us to be always on the alert to avoid those things which may result in our undoing. Especially is this applicable to the rising generation, because they are journeying through that formative period when habits they adopt today will cling to them to bring them above the ordinary tide of humanity or drag them down to a level from which they will always afterwards wish they could escape. Remember, young people, the crowd is watching you. They want to know what you are doing every day of your life. There is never a moment that you are beyond the pale of public censure, and one false step may arouse a suspicion that will cause future indiscretions to grow to enormous size when you are weighed in the balance of public opinion. Live your life each day just the very best you can. You are sure to make mistakes, but let each mistake serve as a warning to you to be more careful in the future. Don’t be a coward, don’t be afraid to dare and to do, but always look ahead of you before you leap and be pretty certain there is no yawning abyss into which you are liable to fall in case you do not leap as far as you intended. There are few towns the size of Anaheim that can boast of as many FOUND HIS KEYS? W. J. Elliott two weeks ago lost a bunch of keys and advertised it in the Gazette. On Tuesday morning his little daughter Viola telephoned him at his office: “What do you think is in the mail for you?” Mr. Elliott replied he thought it was a letter, when the little girl replied it was a bunch of keys forwarded from Pomona. Some one had read the advertisement and sent the keys home. Later—On going home at noon Mr. Elliott found the keys were not those lost by him after all. The rightful owner may have them on application to him, and meanwhile he would like to come into possession of his own.

BRAIN LEAKS That warm sun last Monday brought out of hiding the same fellow who last summer greeted you with: “Is it hot enough for you?” Between the “big stick” and the “steam roller” a pace was set in Chicago the past ten days that even made the “windy city” sit up and gasp for breath. Occasionally you see a man of few brains who is smart enough to keep his mouth shut long enough to pass for a smart fellow. If you are not taking a vacation this summer you can at least congratulate those who are fortunate enough to be in that class. This is the climax of optimism. If you are interested in the advancement of Anaheim lend a helping hand to every proposition that comes up to “put the town on the map.” It is a mighty fine thing to indulge in the “big holler” occasionally, provided you can deliver the goods when the other fellow calls your bluff. You mustn’t think too seriously of the other fellow’s peculiarities, because you have plenty that look mighty peculiar to him. The fact that congress is investigating the money trust has not caused the writer to toss about restlessly in bed of nights.
