Fire Swept Over 2000 Acres A foothill fire swept over about 2000 acres of land in the Trabuco Canyon on Thursday. It started on Ross and Cook's lease, and burned a strip to San Juan Capistrano, a distance of five miles. There was no damage except to range and fences, mostly on the O'Neil ranch.

Mr. Davies says the quality of the orange is prime. The Fay company has a packing house at Fullerton and one at Placentia. Stanton Case Appealed Attorney Homer G. Ames has given notice of appeal in the case of W. J. Cole against the Board of Supervisors, an action brought for the purpose of setting aside the incorporation of the town of Stanton. The appeal is taken from the order of Judge West, sustaining a demurrer that ruled upon the legality of the action. Judge West's ruling determined that the town was legally organized.. From the ruling on the demurrer, the plaintiff appeals to the court of appeals. Martin Flies Against Gale Risking his life in a 55-mile gale, Glenn L. Martin on Saturday made one of the most daring hydro-aeroplane flights on record. Rising from the waves of Newport Bay, the aviator climbed to a height of 500 feet and encountered the gale. The spectators believed he would be dashed to the ground or waves, but he not only held the craft under control, but put it into the face of the gale and held it there. Then the spectators had the unusual sight of seeing an aeroplane stand stationary in the air. He was in the air 15 minutes, and he declared it was the most thrilling experience of his flying career. Heading For La Habra That the Pacific Electric Railway Company plans to extend its Riverside Magnolia avenue line as far as Corona in the direction of La Habra, is proven beyond reasonable doubt through the action of the Board of Supervisors of Riverside in granting the company's application for a franchise over the northerly driveway on Magnolia avenue from the Riverside city limits westward. This will give the road a private right of way which will make much better interurban service than would be possible otherwise. The gap to be built between Arlington, the present terminus of the Magnolia line, and Corona is about seven miles. Editor Plays Baseball An editor was advised to play baseball, by his physician, and at the end of two weeks gives the following as his experience: I have played two weeks, and I don't think I like the game. I've looked over the scorer's books and find that I have broken seven bats, made one tally, broken one umpire's jaw, broken ten windows in adjoining houses, killed a baby, broken the leg of a dog, mortally injured the bread-basket of a spectator, knocked the waterfall from a schoolmarm who was standing twenty rods from the field, a quiet looker-on. I've used up fifteen bottles of arnica liniment, five bottles of lotions, half a raw beef, and am so full of pain that it seems as if my limbs were but broken bats, and my legs the limbs of a dead horse-chestnut. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Back to Mother Eve In a sermon, part of which was in verse, directed against the mode of dress now popular with women, the Rev. F. L. Dimmitt, a Methodist clergyman of Columbus, Ohio, used quotations that caused a sensation in the town. This quotation was made from the pulpit: "Little girl, you look so small, Don't you wear no clothes at all? Don't you wear a chemise or shirt, Don't you wear a pretty skirt? Just your corset and your hose, Are these all your underclothes?" The poem closed with this line: "After a while, I do believe, You will dress like Mother Eve." Billion Involved in Land Suits Announcement was made last week in San Francisco by Special Assistant Attorney General Willis Mills that suit to regain possession of 100,000 more acres of Southern Pacific oil lands will shortly be brought in the Los Angeles Federal district court. Suits pending against the company touch title to lands aggregating in value, according to government estimates, $1,000,000,-000. In all cases the government contends that the company sought grants of land which it knew privately to be mineral lands. Under the law the government cannot part possession with mineral lands by grant. Turned on Red Light The presence of mind of Miss Hazel Lemon, night operator for the Sunset Telephone Company, doubtless saved one of the central business blocks in this city from being destroyed by fire early on Saturday morning. At 2 o'clock Miss Lemon noticed the reflection of a light at the rear of the telephone building and thought it was the flash of a burglar's lantern, who was seeking entrance by the rear door. When she passed into a rear room she saw a blaze near the top of the wall. With the heavy wind that was blowing there was no time to be lost in putting the OPERETTA MUCH ENJOYED High School Production Meets Favor Among Large Audience The operetta, "In the Land of Flowers," given by High School students Thursday evening, made such a decided hit that there has been talk of repeating it at a later date. A large crowd was in attendance to witness the production, the main floor and balcony in the auditorium being almost completely filled. Besides Anaheim people a number were present from Fullerton, Orange and other neighboring points. Stage settings were typically Japanese, flowers and vines being used in profusion. In the center of the stage stood a Japanese house covered with vines and flowers. The act was participated in by upwards of 40 young ladies of the High School music classes and their soft, harmoniously colored kimonos made the stage a scene of beauty. Chorus singing was accompanied by the High School orchestra, which has improved materially in playing since the beginning of school. All participants in the play did well and carried off their parts with credit to themselves and the directors, Mrs. Emma Bartlett and Miss Veda Walker, who have worked so hard to make the operetta a success, and to whom great credit is due for its creditable completion. Following is the cast of the operetta: O-Han-u San.....Evelyn Finney O-Kitu San (her cousin)...Maude Squier O-Kayo San (her cousin)...Lila Abbott Chaya (her servant)....Emily Spaeth Dora Twinn, Nora Twinn, American Girls Miss Knowall, governess Kathryn Hand Mikado Ralph Maas Chorus of Japanese Girls The Glee Club High class specialties were given be- Trouble Over Trees Suit has been filed in the superior court by Emma Agnes Richmond against Ellen L. Towler to recover the sum of $500 for failure to carry out a contract to furnish 500 orange trees to plaintiff. The complaint alleges that on July 26, 1909, defendant agreed to deliver to plaintiff on February 1, 1912, 500 budded orange trees, two years old, or pay the sum of $1 each for any number less than 500 delivered at that date. Defendant failed to deliver any trees at all, and suit is therefore brought to recover $500. W. T. Blakeley is attorney for plaintiff. Has Religious Mania William Raymer, formerly employed by the Santa Fe railroad as a station agent and telegrapher at Yorba, has become insane from worrying over religion and was brought to the county jail and placed under restraint pending investigation of his case. Raymer is not violent, but believes he is possessed of great wealth, and as an illustration of what he proposes to do with his property, he gave to a local church at Placentia, his little house and two lots, leaving his wife and family practically destitute. Later it was discovered that Bemon, light operator for the Bamco Telephone Company, doubtless saved one of the central business blocks in this city from being destroyed by fire early on Saturday morning. At 2 o'clock Miss Lemon noticed the reflection of a light at the rear of the telephone building and thought it was the flash of a burglar's lantern, who was seeking entrance by the rear door. When she passed into a rear room she saw a blaze near the top of the wall. With the heavy wind that was blowing there was no time to be lost in putting the blaze out. She turned on the red light at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, a signal that something was wrong. This brought two nightwatchmen, who discovered that the blaze started from the stove pipe where it entered the wall. The fire was apparently extinguished by chemicals and the crowd which had gathered left and Miss Lemon was alone again in the building. At 3 o'clock the blaze started once more, but with the aid of the nightwatchman, who succeeded in climbing to the ceiling by means of a ladder and a table, the fire was again extinguished. To add to the excitement at 2 o'clock in the morning, Miss Lemon was without a light, and the room was in total darkness, as the wind had blown down the electric light wire. She used matches to see the switchboard as the numbers were turned in. Miss Lemon refuses to have a gun handy, as she says she is not timid, with the telephone service at her command. Trouble Over Land Deal The case of A. Raymer vs. Susanna A. Hobbs and D. E. Hobbs, her husband, has been transferred from Los Angeles county and will be tried in the superior court at Santa Ana. The story is that Mrs. Hobbs owned 20 acres of land in Garden Grove which Raymer claims he was commissioned to sell for $12,350 net to Mrs. Hobbs. Raymer got a purchaser in the person of Sophia Schroeder to whom he arranged to sell the property for $13,000, and got an option in order to enable him to put the deal through. Raymer now claims that in violation of the agreement, the Hobbs' took up the negotiations with Sophia Schroeder and consummated the sale. Raymer new sues for $650.00. Mr. Hobbs claims the sale was not made by her until after Raymer's option had expired and that the sale had its beginning, development and consummation independent of Raymer. Z. B. Stuart, of Los Angeles, is attorney for Raymer, and the defendants are represented by Attorney J. W. Morin, of Pasadena. Bears President-Elect's Signature William J. Oelke of Olinda failed to William Raymer, formerly employed by the Santa Fe railroad as a station agent and telegrapher at Yorba, has become insane from worrying over religion and was brought to the county jail and placed under restraint pending investigation of his case. Raymer is not violent, but believes he is possessed of great wealth, and as an illustration of what he proposes to do with his property, he gave to a local church at Placentia, his little house and two lots, leaving his wife and family practically destitute. Later it was discovered that Raymer was not responsible and the property will not be held by the church but will be restored to the wife of the unfortunate man. He was committed to the state hospital at Patton. Juggles Before Death After juggling a revolver three-quarters of an hour Saturday afternoon in his room in Los Angeles, C. E. Dutton, of Santa Ana, shot himself through the head. The tragedy followed the mystery of the well-to-do insurance man's absence from his home. He disappeared on Wednesday. Ed Chase, a guest at the hotel, looked across the court into Dutton's room and saw the man performing exciting juggelry with a revolver. He twirled it back and forth around his hand, tossed it in the air, catching it with his little finger, kept it revolving around his fingers while his hand circled his neck, and did numerous feats with the weapon. Dutton was a clever amateur performer in skillful feats with his hands, and according to Chase seemed to take the greatest pride in the dexterity with which he handled the gun. Chase wearied of the performance before Dutton committed suicide. The report of the revolver brought the attaches of the hotel, and the body was taken to the Peck and Chase mortuary after the coroner was notified. Dutton's widow and mother live in Santa Ana. He was about 45 years old. Bears President-Elect's Signature William J. Oelke of Olinda failed to get his New Jersey marriage annuled. He asked the superior court of this county to void the wedding, but the woman's attorney went into court. It was she who got the decree, and the decree was divorce, not annulment. Oelke is a bookkeeper at Olinda. His complaint was filed by Attorney F. C. Spencer of Anaheim. It recited that Oelke married Bertha B. Oelke at Roseville, N. J., on September 4, 1911, when he was but 17 years old, swearing that he was then 21. A child was born. Attorney S. M. Davis represented Mrs. Oelke, who lives at Summit, N. J. Oelke asked annulment on the ground that under the New Jersey law any person married under 18 without a parent's consent is not legally married. Attorney Davis produced in court a copy of the New Jersey law, and showed that it has a provision which legalizes the marriage in case the marriage is confirmed after the person becomes 18. In the Oelke case it was shown that the marriage was confirmed in that Oelke lived with his wife after he was 18. On that showing, Juge West granted Mrs. Oelke's cross-complaint asking divorce. The woman got about $450 alimony and attorney's fees. An interesting feature of the case is that the certified copy of the New Jersey marriage law bears the signature of Governor Woodrow Wilson, president-elect of the United States.
