WILLIAM J. HILL, PIONEER, PASSES AWAY LARGELY ATTENDED FUNERAL OCCURRED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON MAN WHO WAS LOVED BY ALL, SINCERELY MOURNED BY COMMUNITY William J. Hill died shortly after midnight on Monday night at his home in West Anaheim. Death resulted from Bright's disease, of which deceased had been a sufferer for a number of years. He had been in bed for two months and for a fortnight past, little hope had been entertained for his recovery. The funeral occurred yesterday afternoon, and was attended by hundreds of friends of the deceased, who were present to pay their last tribute of respect to his memory. Services were held at the residence at 12:45 P.M. and at the Episcopal church at 2 o'clock. Rev. Juny conducted the burial. Interment in Anaheim cemetery. Mr. Hill was born in County Tyrone, Ireland, and was at the time of his death 64 years, 2 months old. He came to Anaheim in 1868, and settled on his west side ranch, where he lived up to the hour of his death. He came from Ireland in a sailing vessel, crossed the Isthmus, and went to San Francisco, where he was employed for two years in the Risdon Iron Works. GALLOWS FOR BOMBELA Los Alamitos Murderer Will Swing at San Quentin Manuel Bombela was on Tuesday morning in the superior court at Santa Ana, sentenced to be hanged for the killing of Apolonio Valles at Los Alamitos some months ago. He is the third man in the history of Orange county to be sentenced to pay the death penalty. The first man sentenced in this county was Mestizo Fellows, ordered hanged for the killing of a soloon man named Garcia at San Juan Capistrano. Fellows got a new trial on appeal, and was given life sentence. A year ago he was given parole, and is now employed at San Juan. The second man sentenced to death was Rosario Saiz, for killing Jose Machado. On second trial, he, too, got life imprisonment, and he is now in San Quentin. Nothing but clemency on the part of Gov. Johnson can save Bombela from hanging. No appeal was taken, and the time for taking the appeal is past. Tuesday morning Bombela was taken into court. Since the verdict of the jury came in, finding him guilty as charged in the information, Bombela has been a very sober man. The verdict left the judge no choice but to name the time and place for execution. The verdict carried with it the death penalty. Bombela's judgment was told to him through an interpreter, T. G. Cervantes. Sentence was "that you be hanged by the neck until you are dead." Judge West named San Quentin as the place, and set Thursday, October 17, between the hours of 9 A.M. and 4 P.M. as the time. No unnecessary words were spoken, the principal feature of the occasion being the extreme... church at 2 o'clock. Rev. Juny conducted the burial. Interment in Anaheim cemetery. Mr. Hill was born in County Tyrone, Ireland, and was at the time of his death 64 years, 2 months old. He came to Anaheim in 1868, and settled on his west side ranch, where he lived up to the hour of his death. He came from Ireland in a sailing vessel, crossed the Isthmus, and went to San Francisco, where he was employed for two years in the Risdon Iron Works. On coming to this section, he engaged in farming operations on a large scale. He was the pioneer thresher of this county and in 1871 managed the first threshing machine ever imported here. His home place is a fertile tract of 80 acres of land, valued at $75,000. In March he sold his La Habra ranch for $10,000. He carried an insurance of $3000 upon his life. He was a member of the Odd Fellows and Macabbee lodges. His funeral was under the auspices of the first named order. Deceased was popular among a wide circle of acquaintances throughout this and adjoining counties. He was genial and lovable in disposition and had not an enemy among all those who knew him. In his death the community has lost a sturdy and upright citizen, and many hearts will be saddened by regret and eyes moistened with tears at the thought of parting with one whom they had known and loved for so many years. Mr. Hill was the father of 14 children, 12 of whom survive. They are Robert, Miss Jennie, Mrs. Elizabeth Aldrich, of Los Angeles, Miss Anna, Harry, Miss Blanche, Miss Edith, Miss Laura, Gorge, Wm. Hill, Jr., Theodore and Miss Jessie Hill. He leaves a wife and four brothers resident here, who mourn his untimely end. They are Oliver Hill of this city, Samuel Hill and Thomas Hill of the west country and Joseph Hill of Los Angeles. His cheery smile and warm handclaps will be missed forever. May his ashes repose in peace. CASE SETTLED OUT OF COURT Land at Buena Park Involved in Law Suit When the case came up for trial in the superior court on Monday, the defendant in the suit of J. M. C. Hill against Nick Karales offered a settlement out of court. The settlement was accepted, and the case was dismissed. Hill rented land near Buena Park to Karales. He declared Karales broke the contract, and suit for possession and $1500 damages was begun, Scar- name the time and place for execution. The verdict carried with it the death penalty. Bombela's judgment was told to him through an interpreter, T. G. Cervantes. Sentence was "that you be hanged by the neck until you are dead." Judge West named San Quentin as the place, and set Thursday, October 17, between the hours of 9 A.M. and 4 P.M. as the time. No unnecessary words were spoken, the principal feature of the occasion being the extreme sober demeanor of the prisoner. Attorney F. C. Spencer did not appeal the case. When he was appointed by the court to defend Bombela, he advised Bombela to plead guilty and take a sentence of life imprisonment. That Bombela agreed to do, and he did plead guilty. But he listened to the advice of Rosario Salz, then a prisoner, and changed his plea to not guilty, and asked for a jury trial. The result was a verdict that meant hanging. Bombela is ordered hanged for the killing of his brother-in-law, Apolonio Valles, near Los Alamitos on March 31. Bombela's wife, who was a sister of Valles, left Bombela because he had abused her. Bombela went to Valles' camp, and after a quarrel he called Valles from the house, and fired at him as he stepped out. Valles took the revolver from Bombela, and thinking the matter was settled he turned the revolver over to Valles' mother. But Bombela was not through fighting. He drew a long-bladed knife, and rushed upon Valles and twice stabbed him. Bombela will be taken to San Quentin by Jailer Boynton.

A BILLION OF EXPORTS Export manufactures of the United States in the fiscal year just ended passed the billion dollar mark for the first time, according to figures by the Bureau of Statistics. The value of this portion of the country's exports exceeded $1,021,000,000. Of these manufactures, $674,000,000 worth were ready for consumption and $347,000,000 for further use in manufacture. The growth in the export manufactures has been more rapid than that of other classes of merchandise. They formed 47 per cent of the exports last year, whereas ten years ago they constituted only 33 per cent and in 1892 only 18 per cent. Following the example set by their fathers recently, all the small boys about town have constructed (foot power) racing automobiles, and the pedestrian on any of the city streets may see at all times of the day, daring drivers trying out their cars and making turns around the sidewalk corners at a speed which makes their hair stand on end. Recently a car failed to make the turn successfully, and landed in the street, breaking the front axle. No one injured. Another car met disaster a few days ago when the driver lost control of the car on a straightaway race on a Center street sidewalk and the auto ran off the curbing into the street. The driver and mechenician escaped with slight bruises, but the remains of the car were consigned to a nearby vacant lot and will probably be used for kindling wood.

GUSHER IN OIL FIELDS Columbia Consolidated Brings In Another Great Producer What oil men predict will be one of the notable oil gushers of Southern California was uncovered Saturday after three years' of drilling in the Orange county property controlled by the recently-formed consolidation of the Puente, Pico, Orange and Columbia oil producing companies, to be later known as the Columbia Consolidated. The strike was made at a depth of 4000 feet and at the bottom of an 800-foot stratum of oil sand. No accurate estimate of the flow can as yet be made on account of the tremendous gas pressure, though the latter, the roar of whose escaping is plainly audible at a distance of half a mile, is indicative of a gusher of the first magnitude. The gas pressure now registers 800 pounds and appears to be on the increase, but is under perfect control. A large force of men is on hand to keep the big well in the harness and to guard against fire. The well is located in what was the Orange Company's property, in the heart of the Fullerton field. A further indication of what may be expected is supplied by the fact that the new well is but 200 feet from the famous Menges well, pronounced by experts to be the greatest ever struck in Southern California, and which has produced $1,000,000 worth of oil in the year of its life. The Columbia Consolidated was formed several weeks ago by a consolidation of the companies named and brings into existence one of the state's greatest oil producing and distributing organizations. Its capitalization is $3,500,000 and it controls 5000 acres of territory in the Fullerton field, nearly all of which has been proven, NOTICE Board of Equalization Notice is hereby given that the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim will sit as a Board of Equalization at the City Hall on Monday, August 12, 1912 at 10 o'clock in the forenoon of said day, and will continue in session from day to day until the returns of the Assessor have been rectified.
