OLD-TIME GUN PLAYS ARE RECALLED HOW DICK BARHAM GOT THE DROP ON DYE DAVIS OSCAR GEORGE POSTED A CHALLENGE TO DAVIS FOR A DUEL Los Angeles, Cal., July 18, 1912. Editor Gazette: I just read your interesting article telling of the killing of Lehman by Davis in the early days. I happen to know that Dye Davis had more than one unpleasant experience in the game of bluff as a gun fighter. I remember the case of a child, living at the corner of Hermine and Adele streets, who was bitten by one of the three savage hounds kept by Dye Davis. The father, a carpenter, went into the back yard of the Davis premises, shot the dog and coolly informed the women that he would serve Davis the same way if he ever crossed his path. This Mr. Chambers was never harmed by Davis. Chambers was a quiet, modest man, and a good citizen. But the day of terror for the said Davis was the time he was defeated for the office of constable by little but brave Dick Barham. Who, of the old times, but what remember the hearty laugh of the genial constable and deputy sheriff, Richard Barham. While acting as keeper of the attacked Black Star coal mine I asked Dick Barham this question: "What would you have done if Dye Davis had tried was drunk and declared his intention of killing his employer. Guy hid near the crouching Indian, and when his father approached, sprang to his feet, crying, "Look out for Indian George! He's going to kill you!" Barham's revolver was thrown down upon the Indian in a flash. His gun was taken away from him and he was locked up in jail. SPORTSMEN, ATTENTION! Join Great Fish and Game Protective Associations Sportsmen and hunters of this vicinity are invited to attend a meeting at Santa Ana, when R. D. Duke, the legal adviser of the Fish and Game Commission, and a gentleman who has taken a great interest in stocking our streams with fish and our mountains with game, will speak on Monday, July 22, 1912, at 8 P. M., in Spurgeon's hall on the objects of the Great Fish and Game Protective Associations, what the commission expects to accomplish for the people in restocking and rehabilitating our streams, and for fish and game protection generally, and legislation pertaining thereto. It is the wish of the commission that every member of the association as well as the general public will attend. hTere are now over ten thousand members of the Great Fish and Game Protective Association. Following is the list of names of Anaheim residents who have joined the association: Clarence Burbank, Ray Burbank, E. Bayha, Wm. F. Booms, Louis Daniels, Wm. H. Houts, L. Z. Kroeger, Mike C. Lopez, M. W. Skinner. SOCIALISTS NAME TICKET George Bauer Candidate for Senate in Thirty-Ninth This Mr. Chambers was never harmed by Davis. Chambers was a quiet, modest man, and a good citizen. But the day of terror for the said Davis was the time he was defeated for the office of constable by little but brave Dick Barham. Who, of the old times, but what remember the hearty laugh of the genial constable and deputy sheriff, Richard Barham. While acting as keeper of the attacked Black Star coal mine I asked Dick Barham this question: "What would you have done if Dye Davis had tried to draw on you the day you defeated him for constable?" "I would have dropped him in his tracks," said Barham. I was the only person, I believe, who saw this little by play, which occurred in a saloon on the east side of Los Angeles street. Davis, while ordering the drinks for the two men, had a scowl on his face. Barham was watching him closely. Davis said to Barham: "Dick Barham, I will bet you $50.00 I have beaten you." At the same time both men's hands went to their hip pockets. But Dick had the drop on him. Looking him square in the eye, Barham said: "Dye Davis, you know I gamble." Davis drank his liquor in peace but did not bet—for he knew he was defeated. Oscar George the same day posted a challenge to Davis, daring him to try-out with a revolver, following up an encounter between Richard Hernan and Davis. Anaheim has in the Gazette a paper second to none of its kind, and its influence in politics has often been quoted by city papers. I just returned, with my wife and brother, L. C. Fish, from a two-weeks' outing at Catalina Island. Had no adventures and did not catch a fish. We had a good rest and enjoyed our trip immensely. Had some chats with George Greeley about the old days at Anaheim. The Greeley stage ride is quite popular with natives as well as tourists. Will try and see you soon. WILL S. FISH. Dick Barham was a notable character in Anaheim forty years ago. He was a gambler and carried a gun, but withal was one of the pleasanest men to meet that could be found in a day's ride. He had always a hearty handshake and a merry ripple of laughter for all with whom he came in contact. If he had an enemy in town, no one knew it. At a game of poker he held his own with the best of them and was in his day one of the best card men in the state.

SOCIALISTS NAME TICKET George Bauer Candidate for Senate in Thirty-Ninth Socialists of this county have put a full ticket into the field, and will pass through the September primaries and get their men on the November ballot about as outlined at a metting held at Santa Ana last week. The following ticket was placed in nomination: For Congressman—N. A. Richardson of San Bernardino. For State Senator—George Bauer of Anaheim. For Assemblyman—Justin H. Stewart of Smeltzer. For Supervisor, First District—Charles H. Wilson of Santa Ana. For Supervisor, Third District—W. G. Loughboro of Buena Park. Stewart visited the office of the county clerk and got his nomination petition, which will be circulated by Mr. Linn. CRACKING IN CONCRETE National Bureau of Standards Is Making Investigation The National Bureau of Standards in its general investigation of structural materials is engaged, among other things, in the determination of the physical properties of concrete. At the suggestion of engineers and others, the bureau of standards is investigating the cause of cracking in concrete structures where the necessity for expansion and contraction joints is questioned. For this purpose, reference marks were placed last week on some of the typical old and new concrete work in Wayne county, Michigan, also at Greenwich, Conn. Measurements will be taken from time to time during the summer and winter to determine the expansion or contraction in the concrete caused by temperature variations and the changes of volume which take place during the hardening of the concrete. Similar reference marks are being placed on the lock walls of the Panama Canal and various other structures from which valuable information will be obtained.

At a game of poker he held his own with the best of them and was in his day one of the best card men in the state. His defeat of Dye Davis for constable, as related by Mr. Fish, is well within the memory of old-timers. Barham was one of the few men in town who were not afraid of Davis. One Sunday afternoon the diminutive Barham placed under arrest a burly, drunken cholo, whose gun he took away from him. Barham was leading the cholo to jail, which was located on Cypress street, and the sight was much like that of a tugboat taking a great ocean liner out to sea. A crowd of boisterous Mexicans followed the officer. Guy Barham, who is now a staid and proper member of Los Angeles' society, followed his father at some distance to the rear. Barham ordered the kid to return home. Guy persisted in following, fearing injury might come to the old man. The old gentleman had his hands full in escorting the Mexican along Los Angeles street. When near Chartres street Barham turned and saw Guy again at his heels. Turning upon him savagely, he said: "I've got the damdest notion —." Guy walked rapidly to the rear, but when the old man locked the cholo up, Guy was there at his side to see that no harm befell the old man. At another time an Indian named George, who was employed by Barham at his home on Broadway, lay in wait for Barham's return home one evening after dark.

BIGGS SENT TO SAN QUENTIN Montee's Slayer Sent to Bayside Penitentary For Life Superior Judge West, on Friday morning, pronounced sentence of life imprisonment on George Biggs, convicted of the murder of F. A. Montee near this city April 12. Biggs seemed stolid and wholly unmoved and in answer to the court said he was 62 years of age and a native of Illinois. He has not even a common school education nor a trade or profession he added. Attorney Bishop called Biggs into conference in the jury room and a little later when Biggs returned, Judge West asked him if he had any preference as to the place of imprisonment and was told by Biggs that he preferred San Quentin. Judge West then pronounced life sentence on Biggs and Attorney Harding gave notice of appeal, "as a matter of right to protect the interests of his client." District Attorney West suggested that the second case against Biggs be continued. "If the second case is to be tried," said Attorney Harding, "we want it tried while the man is here." District Attorney West said there is no other way of trying it so far as he knew.

RUTAN OF SANTA ANA REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR THE ASSEMBLY JOHN N. ANDERSON AND HANS V. WEISEL CANDIDATES OF PROGRESSIVES C. C. Chapman of Fullerton on Thursday announced to a meeting of republicans at Santa Ana that he would consent to their earnest solicitation that he become a candidate for State Senator in the Thirty-ninth district. Mr. Chapman had had the matter under advisement for a week. He was tendered the nomination at a meet of republicans of Riverside and Orange counties which was held at Santa Ana two weeks ago. Many prominent republicans were present and the Riverside men promised their hearty support. They assured Mr. Chapman Riverside would have no candidate for the office and would abide by the time-honored custom which allots the senator first to one county then to the other. The many Orange county men present also pledged hearty support. Mr. Chapman said he would need a week to consider the matter, and on Thursday after another meeting of republicans announced that he had yielded to their wishes and would stand for the office. His announcement was greeted with hearty manifestation of approval, and he will have the loyal support of republicans of all Mr. Chapman said he would need a week to consider the matter, and on Thursday after another meeting of republicans announced that he had yielded to their wishes and would stand for the office. His announcement was greeted with hearty manifestation of approval, and he will have the loyal support of republicans of all shades of opinion throughout the county. The candidate is probably the best known orange grower in California. He has done more to develop the orange industry than any other man, and his success in marketing Valencia oranges has blazed the way for others to follow his example, with the result that this fruit is today one of the state's greatest industries. He is morally clean and incorruptible, a wheelhorse in party politics, a protector of our industries, and has never before asked for office. He is a candidate at this time only at the earnest solicitation of republicans throughout the three counties comprising the district. A. W. Rutan of Santa Ana, the well known attorney of that city, was placed in nomination at the meeting for assemblyman from this county. He is a young man of sterling integrity, knowing well the needs of the district and should he be elected will represent the county in legislative halls with conspicuous ability and success. He is one of the foremost lawyers of the county, is a life-long republican and his upright personal character makes him a strong candidate before the people. Anderson and Weisel At a meeting of progressive republicans at Santa Ana last week, John N. Anderson of that city was nominated for State Senator and Hans V. Weisel of this city for the assembly. Mr. Anderson formerly represented the thirty-ninth district in the upper house of the state legislature. He was elected eight years ago and held office until succeeded by Estudillo of Riverside, who will not this year be a factor in the contest. Mr. Anderson will have the support of the Roosevelters and if nominated will vote for Roosevelt electors to be voted for in California in November. Hans V. Weisel is the well known young attorney of this city and his success at the bar places him in the front rank of lawyers hereabouts. Mr. Weisel is a progressive and an enthusiastic supporter of Roosevelt for the presidency. He A New Financier for Imperial good-will of all with whom he has come in contact in the community. He was for several years a member of the high school board of trustees and took large interest in the erection of the Polytechnic school buildings and their equipment. He opposed the continuance of Prof. Walker as principal of the school and at the spring election for trustee, Walker's friends rallied so strongly to his support that Storm was compelled to retire from the board. Mrs. Storm and family will continue to reside in Anaheim for the present. In the fall they will probably remove to Imperial where they will make their home. Mr. Storm takes with him the best wishes of many friends here for his success in his new home. TYPHOID LURKS, IN WELLS One Value of Underground Waters for Farm Use Rural sections, long considered ideal so far as concerns the health of their inhabitants, have been dealt a blow by physician investigators who maintain that two-thirds of the cases of typhoid fever in the city owe their origin to insanitary conditions in the country and to polluted water supplies. Farms, which are generally remote from towns, cities, or other areas of congested population, would seem to be almost ideally situated for obtaining pure and wholesome water, but in reality polluted water is exceedingly common on them and typhoid fever rates are usually greater in country districts than in cities. Typhoid fever is now almost universally believed to be transmitted solely through drink or food taken into the stomach, and is especially liable to be communicated by polluted waters obtained from shallow wells near spots where the was elected eight years ago and held office until succeeded by Estudillo of Riverside, who will not this year be a factor in the contest. Mr. Anderson will have the support of the Roosevelters and if nominated will vote for Roosevelt electors to be voted for in California in November. Hans V. Weisel is the well known young attorney of this city and his success at the bar places him in the front rank of lawyers hereabouts. Mr. Weisel is a progressive and an enthusiastic supporter of Roosevelt for the presidency. He will, like Anderson, disregard the nomination of the Chicago convention and will vote to place electors on the ballot who will vote, if elected, for Roosevelt for president. These four candidates are clean and upright men and will have strong support from their friends throughout the county. Chapman and Rutan are supporters of the present republican administration and will vote to place Taft electors upon the ballot. Anderson and Weisel stand for Roosevelt and if nominated will place electors for the Colonel upon the ticket. The fight will be clean-cut and sharply drawn and promises to be one of the most hotly contested in the history of local politics. A temperance lecturer displayed to his audience two geraniums. The first, watered in the usual way, was a beautiful and vigorous plant. But the other had been dosed with alcohol, and its foliage was shriveled and sparse, its stem twisted, and its vitality decayed. "Now, ladies and gentlemen," cried the lecturer, "what can you say to a demonstration such as this?" "It's all right, and if I were a geranium," said a shabby man in the gallery, "I'd stick to water exclusively, but I am not a geranium." "Marie," asked the star of her maid, gazing perplexedly at her reflection in the mirror, "what was I about to do—step into the bathtub or go on the stage?" Marie shrugged her shoulders. "How can I tell? Mademoiselle is dressed for either." THURSDAY, July 25 FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ANAHEIM States Depository for the Postal Savings System $10.
