ONCE IN SHADOW OF NOOSE, UP FOR LIFE SARCO SAIZ CONVICTED BY JURY ON SECOND TRIAL IN THE SUPERIOR COURT KILLED JOSE MACHADO AT CARRISOSA'S SHEEP CAMP, AT SUNSET BEACH Sarco Saiz was on Friday found guilty of murder in the first degree and was on Monday sentenced to life imprisonment at San Quenten. Saiz was convicted of the murder of Jose Machado at Santos Carrisosa's sheep camp at Sunset Beach nearly three years ago. Immediately after the killing, which occurred in the evening following a drunken brawl of the Mexicans of the camp, Saiz escaped across the line into Mexico. He was arrested and brought back some months later and lodged in the county jail. In company of Alezo Macias, Saiz made his escape from jail one Sunday during religious ceremonies. He placed Sheriff Lacey in a steel tank, locking him therein, and he and Macias walked out into the street. While posses searched for them throughout the countryside both men hid in the boughs of a lofty tree. Sheriff Lacey commissioned Carrisosa who was and still remains Saiz's implacable enemy, to pursue him, with instructions to shoot him on sight. Saiz and Macias made their escape into Mexico, where they quarreled during the Diaz revolution and separated. Macias was arrested by Sheriff Ruddock, brought back, tried, convicted and setenced to thirteen years in San Quenten. Saiz entered the rebel army but became so quarrelsome that the Mexicans were glad to get rid of him. Placing him under arrest upon a charge of treason, BOY SCOUTS MAGAZINE Organization to Have Official Publication After July 1 The two Boy Scout troupes of Anaheim will be glad to learn they are to have a magazine, beginning in July, devoted to their welfare and to things in which all wholesome, energetic boys are interested. For them the national organization has bought the "Boys' Life Magazine," a monthly periodical formerly published in Providence, R. I., and will remove it to the National Headquarters at 200 Fifth Avenue, New York City, beginning with the July number. The magazine will be under the direct supervision of the Executive Board of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The men who will have active charge of it are members of the editorial board, including William D. Murray, George D. Pratt, and A. A. Jameson, Frank Presbrey and James E. West, Chief Scout Executive. For more than two years the leaders of the scout movement disregarded all suggestions that the scout movement should have a publication. The demand became so strong that circulars were sent out in February last to 7,000 scout masters, asking in what way the headquarters could best help them. The reply from 5,500 men was "By starting a magazine." They guaranteed 40,000 subscribers. Impelled by that sentiment the leaders considered the question of starting a new publication or of buying one. The Boys' Life offered excellent opportunities, and it was bought. The scope of the Boys' Life Magazine will be broader than in the past. It will have wholesome fiction of adventure, camping and scoutcraft. It will have departments devoted to the scouts, showing them how to qualify for degrees and merit badges, and how to do many useful and practical things. It will have a department devoted to scoutmasters, giving suggestions in methods of handling boys. It will have articles of interest to parents. There will be stories by Ernest Thompson Seton, the Chief Scout; by Daniel Carter Beard, the National Scout Commissioner. It is hoped that Theodore Roosevelt, Chief Scout Citizen, and Gifford Pinchot, Chief Scout Forester, will write articles. Chief Scout Executive West feels confident that such a publication will stimulate still better interest in the work done on ANNOYING FRIENDS. WARRANT ISSUE OF JOSEPH H. LEYLAND OF Fullerton, for checks throughout complaint was swiped Auditor Cal D. Leslie. Dierkson seems promiscuously in secrecy by and the list of vengeful people said to number five. Joseph Backs with breaking his automobiles he needed money to Backs gave him $40 son's) personal check Angeles bank. A list returned and told Mend $10 more, where gladly accommodated second personal checical victims are Friends whom Dierkson recalls Skinner, $25; R. Wm. Stark, $10. The gladly accommodated amount of read because the young born a good reputation when last known had to be well fixed final. No suspicion of fife of until these checks turned by the seven which they were drunk funds." Reports say Dierkson worthless check sch Sheriff Lacey commissioned Carrisosa who was and still remains Salz's implacable enemy, to pursue him, with instructions to shoot him on sight. Salz and Macias made their escape into Mexico, where they quarreled during the Diaz revolution and separated. Macias was arrested by Sheriff Ruddock, brought back, tried, convicted and sentenced to thirteen years in San Quenten. Salz entered the rebel army but became so quarrelsome that the Mexicans were glad to get rid of him. Placing him under arrest upon a charge of treason, Sheriff Ruddock was communicated with and he went to Ensenada and brought the murderer back. Salz was tried a year ago and found guilty of murder in the first degree. He was sentenced to be hanged but secured a new trial on appeal to the supreme court which found error in Judge West's instructions to the jury. He was brought back from San Quenten and retried with the result as stated. Among the new evidence introduced in the trial by the defense was a statement by Salz's mother that Carrisosa had approached her after Salz's arrest and had offered to cease his prosecution of her son upon payment to him of $50 by her. After Salz broke jail two years ago he was seen in this city early one morning, riding on horseback near Carrisosa's residence. His appearance threw Carrisosa into a panic, for a meeting between the two meant a duel to the death. The two came no nearer together and Salz after procuring food and money from his mother retraced his steps to San Diego and made across the line into Mexico. On being recaptured and brought back to Orange county and being informed that Carrisosa had been commissioned by Sheriff Lacey to take him dead or alive he said with a derisive smile: "Santos looking for me? Well, whenever he knows I'm about he beats it in the opposite direction." Salz went to school in Anaheim and has a good English education. He is probably the worst desparado ever produced in the county. A number of years ago he shot an enemy through the lobe of his ear with a rifle at a distance of a hundred paces. The man fell as though mortally hit. Salz approached, laughing at him and saying that he had not intended killing him, but cautioned the man to desist spreading false stories about him. REDUCING FATALITIES In the last three years and ten months no passenger has been killed through collision or derailment on the Southern Pacific, according to the accident statistics of the Interstate Commerce Commission, recently made public. During this period the road carried 150,400,000 passengers an average distance of 42 miles. In the last three years and four months but one passenger was killed through derailment or collision on the Union Pacific. There were 27,900,000 passengers carried during that time. Rail breakage has been reduced to scouts, showing them how to qualify for degrees and merit badges, and how to do many useful and practical things. It will have a department devoted to scoutmasters, giving suggestions in methods of handling boys. It will have articles of interest to parents. There will be stories by Ernest Thompson Seton, the Chief Scout; by Daniel Carter Beard, the National Scout Commissioner. It is hoped that Theodore Roosevelt, Chief Scout Citizen, and Gifford Pinchot, Chief Scout Forester, will write articles. Chief Scout Executive West feels confident that such a publication will stimulate still better interest in the scout movement and will help in binding the scout interests of the boys more firmly together. ARRESTED ON SERIOUS CHARGE Olinda Woman Must Stand Trial for Breaking Pipe Line A complaint has been sworn out charging Mrs. H. F. Lyon with damaging a water tank at the Olinda oil fields, the property of the Graham-Loftus Company, but under lease to B. W. Jetmore. A warrant was issued for the woman's arrest, and pending the hearing of her version of the story, it was rumored that she, time after time, interfered with the free use of the water tank by Jetmore and at length broke the connection with the pipe line and rendered the tank useless. The complaint fails to state what caused this action on the part of defendant, but doubtless more light will be thrown on the matter when Mrs. Lyon comes into court. Mrs. Lyon came into court Saturday morning and her trial was set for July 24 under bond of $500 for her appearance. GET READY TO HUNT County Clerk Williams has received a supply of government hunting licenses for the year beginning July 1. The number sent by the government this year is larger than last by 450. Last year 2500 were received, but only 2300 were sold. This year 2950 have been received. This year there are no licenses for aliens or non-residents, as none were sold last year of either kind, and applications for these will have this year to be made direct to headquarters at Sacramento. The ordinary hunting license costs $1, that for a non-resident of the county $10 and for an alien $25. BACK TO NATURE Friday morning a camper's wagon passed through Anaheim carrying F. S. Ramsey and his two young daughters, Misses Vera and Birdie, of Riverside, who were on their way to Bartlett Springs, up near San Francisco. Their outfit consisted of a covered wagon loaded down with all manner of camping appurtenances. They left their home Tuesday of last week and expect to take their time on the going trip, stopping en route at any place that appeals to them. After a short visit at the springs they will return home overland, reaching River... REDUCING FATALITIES In the last three years and ten months no passenger has been killed through collision or derailment on the Southern Pacific, according to the accident statistics of the Interstate Commerce Commission, recently made public. During this period the road carried 150,400,000 passengers an average distance of 42 miles. In the last three years and four months but one passenger was killed through derailment or collision on the Union Pacific. There were 27,900,000 passengers carried during that time. Rail breakage has been reduced to a minimum by the introduction of the standard rail. Steel cars are replacing wooden cars generally and automatic block signals will soon be in operation over many of the systems. The inspection of the rails as they are manufactured has had much to do with the making of this safety record, and many of the roads in this country have recently started similar inspection methods. There is one way to reduce the fatality record on American railroads and that is to pass laws that will prevent trespassing on the rights of way. Fifty-three per cent of the people killed on our railroads annually lose their lives because of trespassing. A large majority of those killed are hoboes and others, stealing rides. The problem of reducing the number of railway accidents requires the co-operation of both the officials of the companies and of the people. It has been one of the real big problems of railroad operating for years and every line in the country looks forward to the time when a death on a railroad because of derailment or collision will be unheard of. SAIZ JURY COST It cost the county just $476.70 to get a jury to try the case of Sarco Saiz, who was convicted of murder in the first degree and was sentenced Monday. This is for the last trial, and does not include any of the expense of the other trial. BACK TO NATURE Friday morning a camper's wagon passed through Anaheim carrying F. S. Ramsey and his two young daughters, Misses Vera and Birdie, of Riverside, who were on their way to Bartlett Springs, up near San Francisco. Their outfit consisted of a covered wagon loaded down with all manner of camping appurtenances. They left their home Tuesday of last week and expect to take their time on the going trip, stopping en route at any place that appeals to them. After a short visit at the springs they will return home overland, reaching River-side about the first of October. OFF ON VACATION A month's vacation at Elsinore Hot Springs in Riverside county, will be the fortunate lot of Chas. Kuchel and wife who left Thursday morning of last week for that point. In addition to the pleasure they get out of the stay Mr. Kuchel expects to benefit his health by the trip, he having experienced some trouble with one of his eyes for some time past. Mr. Kuchel has been the linotype operator at the Gazette office for some three years past. REGISTRATIONS SLOW NOW City Clerk Merritt reports there has been very little activity in registering at his office since the presidential primaries. The law requires that voters shall register every even year and the books have been open at his office since the first of January, and yet there are some who will be disqualified for casting a ballot at the September primaries unless they register between now and the closing of the books which is done thirty days previous to the primaries. Ethel—Maud says she uses lemon juice on her face for her complexion. Marie—I wondered where she got that sour look. EXPERT ON T Ernest G. Lindner, cisco, representing the Linotype Company, told the Gazette composing a new model 5 Merc casting machine when Thursday from the Lynn, N.Y. Mr. Lindner expert machinists in the Mergenthaler coming his visits to Annes years has demonstrated he is an artist in his machine which this paper, is referred to where, and is the best product of the Merger Mr. Lindner consumed half in erecting the frame leaving for Los Angeles day afternoon saw to perfect working order. WORKED A TOUCH ON ANAHEIM FRIENDS WARRANT ISSUED FOR ARREST OF JOSEPH H. DIERKSON FOR CHECK KITING FIVE VICTIMS IN ANAHEIM GIVE UP $135 ON WORTHLESS CHECKS A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Joseph H. Dierkson, formerly of Fullerton, for passing worthless checks throughout this section. The complaint was sworn to by County Auditor Cal D. Lester. Dierkson seems to have operated promiscuously in several towns near by and the list of victims in Anaheim is said to number five. He called on Joseph Backs with a story about breaking his automobile and stating he needed money to buy repairs. Mr. Backs gave him $40 on his (Dierkson's) personal check drawn on a Los Angeles bank. A little later Dierkson returned and told Mr. Backs he needed $10 more, whereupon Mr. Backs gladly accommodated Dierkson with second personal check. The other local victims are Fritz Borchard from whom Dierkson received $25, M. V. Skinner, $25; R. Wisser, $25; and Wm. Stark, $10. These gentlemen all gladly accommodate Dierkson with the amount of ready cash he needed because the young fellow had always born a good reputation hereabout and when last known here was supposed to be well fixed financially. No suspicion of fraud was thought of until these checks began to be returned by the several banks upon which they were drawn, marked "no funds." Reports say Dierkson operated his worthless check scheme in a number of sympathy for waiters. "The ultimate possibilities of impudence seem to have been reached," says the Argonaut, "when the striking waiters of New York ask for the sympathy of the public. By all means let us aid the poor waiter, aid him to be more insolent, more greedy, and more incompetent than before. Encourage him to prespire into the soup, to leave his thumb print identification mark upon the plate edge, to bring the coffee without the spoon and the spoon without the coffee, and to throw the tip of poverty with scorn to the ground. Aid the waiter, indeed! If we could aid him to another world where no one ever complains of cold viands how cheerfully would we do so. "No, we will go to the cafeteria, where there are no waiters, or we will eat under our own vines and fig trees, or we will carry our lunch down town in a violin case and try to look like virtuosi, or we will go without food altogether and save the cash. But we will shed no scalding tears for the waiter whose pay has been furnished by ourselves for these many moons past and who proposes now to escape from even such attenuated control as the restaurant proprietor has been pleased to exercise over him. "And really the cafeteria is not so bad when you get used to it. It is, of course, a little humiliating—although there is really no reason why it should be—to meet a lady friend while you are carrying a well-laden tray and trying to keep your coffee inside its cup, but these little tribulations are only mortal mind and should be disregarded. At least you have an exultant consciousness that there is no waiter lurking in the background, and that compensates for much. Come to think of it, we can't boast much of a civilization that refuses to allow a man to do so elemental a thing as eat his dinner without the horrid ordeal of the waiter. A horse in a stable is somewhat better off in this respect." COST OF LUXURIES In the fiscal year of 1911-12 the people of the United States expended in the purchase of imported luxuries—works of art, diamonds and other precious stones, champagne, and other wines, cigars and cigarette laces, embroideries, catfish feathers.

The company, according to its articles, is empowered to conduct hotels, garages; stables; to be dealers in provisions; wines, liquors, tobacco; barbering and hair-dressing; and theaterers and other amusements. WRITING ASSESSMENT ROLL If you think life is one long, sweet dream for City Clerk Merritt these days, you want to visit his office at the city hall and see him bending over those assessment rolls for 1912-13. He began this big job last week and must have the task completed by the first of August. But the way he is sticking to the work he will be "under the wire" before the gong sounds on August 1. PROPOSALS Sealed proposals will be received by the undersigned Clerk of the City of Anaheim, at his office in the City Hall, Center Street, Anaheim, up to Thursday, July 11, 1912, at 8 o'clock p.m., for the delivery of 100 barrels in carload lots of crude oil for street work.

J. WEISEL & CO. 114 S. Los Angeles St., Ananeim, Cal. Dierksen is said to have traveled the primrose path and soon his money was exhausted and then he resorted to devious means to keep in funds, finally taking to the threadbare trick of uttering fictitious checks and passing them on friends and acquaintances. Dierksen is said to have lived with a woman in Los Angeles for the last three years, but recently she removed to Bisbee, Arizona, and it was to join her that Dierksen visited that city. From information gained of Dierksen's proposed movements after leaving here, the officers said he intended to take the woman at Bisbee and with her go straight to Lower California, but his arrest upset his original plans. Some years ago Dierkson moved from Fullerton to Los Angeles where he seems to have developed a penchant for getting other people's money. Very little of his career since leaving these parts was known by his former friends in Anaheim and when he lit here last week and made the rounds to get a few checks cashed for convenience sake he experienced no trouble in working the game. EXPERT ON THE JOB Ernest G. Lindner, of San Francisco, representing the Mergenthaler Linotype Company, has installed in the Gazette composing room this week a new model 5 Mergenthaler type casting machine which arrived on Thursday from the factory at Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Lindner is one of the expert machinists in the employ of the Mergenthaler company and during his visits to Anaheim in recent years has demonstrated the fact that he is an artist in his line. The new machine which this week set up the paper, is referred to at length elsewhere, and is the latest and best product of the Mergenthaler company. Mr. Lindner consumed a day and a half in erecting the machine and before leaving for Los Angeles on Friday afternoon saw to it that it was in perfect working order in every detail.
