Bertrand, well-known Los Angeles real estate man, was killed Friday night near Olinda, when the automobile he was driving raced down a hill and plunged over a bridge at the bottom. Three wealthy Canadians, who also were in the machine and who narrowly escaped Bertrand's fate, were more or less badly injured. Their names and injuries were as follows: M. H. Kennedy, of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, painfully bruised about the head and shoulders. He was staying with his family in Los Angeles. R. F. Francis of the same place, bruised and cut about the head and chest, staying in Los Angeles. Freeman Alexander of the same place, shoulder dislocated and badly bruised. Taken to the sanitarium here. The party left Los Angeles about noon Friday in Bertrand's automobile for the purpose of looking over some land near Corono which the real estate firm expected to sell to the Canadians. They were returning to Los Angeles and about 7 o'clock started the descent of a hill near Olinda. Bertrand was driving and in some way unexplained the car got beyond his control. At the bottom of the hill there was a sharp turn and a bridge. At this point the auto leaped off the road at terrific speed and landed in the gully below. Bertrand's chest was impaled against the steering wheel and crushed and he died shortly afterward. Francis, who was riding beside him, was thrown clear of the machine. Alexander and Kennedy were hurled out with great force and all three survivors were badly dazed. Soon afterward, a passing automobilist discovered the wreck, and taking the three injured men in his room keeper at Broadway twice tried for selling him to be less than $250 and both juries discharged charge is for another day as the one concerned charge.

On motion of Hale, seconded by McFadden, this was referred to the ditch committee and superintendent with power to act. On motion of Beazley, seconded by Hale, the secretary was instructed to notify all oil companies using the A.U.W.Co. water for oil development purposes, to prepare to store their water, as it might be impossible for the company to furnish them water as heretofore during the summer months. On motion the meeting adjourned. WM. T. WALLOP, Secretary. REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT FOR JANUARY, 1913 Anaheim, Cal., February 1, 1913.

At this point the auto leaped off the road at terrific speed and landed in the gully below. Bertrand’s chest was impaled against the steering wheel and crushed and he died shortly afterward. Francis, who was riding beside him, was thrown clear of the machine. Alexander and Kennedy were hurled out with great force and all three survivors were badly dazed. Soon afterward, a passing automobilist discovered the wreck, and taking the three injured men in his machine, he hurried them to the Amalgamated Oil lease headquarters, several miles northeast of Fullerton. There their injuries were treated by Dr. Clark, the company’s physician, and a fast call was sent to the Anaheim sanitarium. An ambulance in charge of Dr. J.L. Beebe was sent to the Amalgamated lease and Alexander was taken to the sanitarium. Coroner Winbigler held an inquest over Bertrand’s remains at Fullerton Saturday morning. WILL APPEAL TO HIGHER COURT Attorney H.C. Head, on Saturday, filed notice of intention to appeal from the judgment of the court in favor of the plaintiff in the action of John Bergan against Mrs.M.E.Morris, of San Juan Hot Springs. Bergan sued and got judgment for $3,000 loaned to Mrs.Morris, for which loan Bergan had no note to show. “But how was it the fire gained such a hold? I understand you recently installed a motor engine here.” “We did, but it happened that the head fireman had taken his wife and family out on it for an excursion that day.” If plans under Glenn L.Martin flight will be made of this month. It will start from Santa Clara him fruit and veg by the frost, stopper heim and Fullerton and from that point California cities, Ana.

Promising California will be bration and a new from Los Angeles give addresses. Whether or not flight in Anaheim future to determine come down here hour. The board proposition down INAHEIM GAZETTE IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Fullerton Taxpayers Come Through Out of an assessment of $57,050, levied as a special tax for a sewer system in Fullerton, only $50 went delinquent. Cash to the amount of $30,862.65 was paid in immediately and the remainder was paid up in bonds. Will Is Filed Mrs. Lavinia Reed, of Garden Grove, has petitioned for letters of administration under the will of her husband, William H. Reed, who died on January 15. The estate is valued at $2,250. Under the will, written at Arapahoe, Neb., in August, 1910, the estate is left to the widow during her lifetime. Mr. Buchheim Was Stung Aaron Buchheim, San Juah Capistrano rancher, has evidently concluded that he was stung when he bargained for $1,000 worth of stock in the Meklensek Patent Pump Company of San Diego. He has paid $200 on the $1,000, and the pump company brought suit against him for the remainder, $800. The complaint states that on January 20, 1912, Buchheim signed an agreement to pay $1,000 for 1,000 shares of stock in the San Diego concern. The complaint states that by inadvertence Buchheim kept the original contract while the company got the duplicate. Another Charge Against Peterson Another charge of liquor-selling has been brought against L. Peterson, pool room keeper at Brea. Peterson was twice tried for selling beer, alleged by him to be less than 2 per cent beer, and both juries disaged. The new charge is for another sale on the same day as the one concerned in the former charge. Peterson says he was informed by the officers Monday to go to Santa Ana, which he did, only to be put in jail on the second charge. He was unable to get hold of his attorney until the following day. His attorney put up $50 cash bail for him, and the Sustains Serious Injury While returning from this city to his home in Fullerton some evenings ago, J. H. Clever, a pioneer resident of Fullerton and former city trustee of that town, was thrown from his wagon and badly injured in a runaway. His rig was passed by an auto, frightening the horses. He was picked up by passers-by and taken to the sanitarium, where the doctors found that his shoulder blade and jawbone were both fractured and other cuts and bruises of a less serious nature. Clever is nearly 70 years of age. Anderson On Game Preserves That the proposed game preserve in the Trabuco division of the Cleveland National Forest must be established by the federal government is the conclusion of the committee of the Orange County Fish & Game Protective Association. The committee thought that the preserve could be established by enactment of the California legislature, but State Senator Anderson has wired that the State forester and a fish and game commissioner advise him that the preserve must be made by the federal government on the petition of those interested. The proposed preserve on the Irvine ranch, including several thousand acres from Tomato Springs to the Limestone canyon, is all on private land, and can be established on a lease accepted by the State Fish and Game Commission. Fullerton’s New Water System Work on the distributing system of the municipal water plant at Fullerton will be commenced about February 10. The city has just tested both of its wells and finds that each pumps 113 inches or both a total of 226 inches. One of these wells alone would more than supply the entire city. V. G. Barr, resident engineer for Sloan & Robson of San Francisco, engineers for the water and sewer systems, of Fullerton, declares the water according to test could not be better for domestic use, as it is soft and clear. Each well is 420 feet deep and the first well was scores. The only run made by the locals was in the eighth when Lober bounced the ball off of Struck’s head, giving him first base. He gave up the base to Menzencamp and Menzy succeeded in scoring on a couple of hits and a passed ball. The line-up of the visitors was Brooks, of Los Angeles, catcher; Lober, of Los Angeles, pitcher; Moore, of Los Angeles, 1st base; Collins, of Seattle, 2nd base; Deaken, of Los Angeles, 3rd base; Bancroft, of Portland, short stop, with Collins, Pryer and a Newport expert in the field. The Anaheim line-up was: Gerken, catcher; Heinrich, pitcher; Meats, 1st base; Fisher, 2d base; Schultz, 3d base; Lemke, short stop; Struck, left field; Huntington, center field; Kuchel, right field. Ralph McFadden umpired the game, and proved so impartial that no kicks were registered against his decisions. One remarkable circumstance was that not a single man was given a base op balls. Next Sunday Anaheim and Olinda will play on the same grounds for the championship of Orange county. These teams are so evenly matched that the game will be full of interest from the first to the last inning. POKER PLAYING AT BREA O. M. Cowden, of Brea, on Saturday pleaded guilty to a charge of running a game of draw poker, and he then paid a fine of $100 to Justice Fullerton of Orange. Cowden was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Law, Deputy Dean and Constable Heard. The game was being played in the back room of a Brea poolroom run by Cowden and Enochs. The officers watched the game through a window. Enochs recently paid a fine for running a crap game. SENT TO ASYLUM Judge West on Saturday committed Miss Gertrude Hulse, a school teacher of Fullerton, to the insane asylum at Patton. The woman suffered from a been brought against L. Peterson, pool room keeper at Brea. Peterson was twice tried for selling beer, alleged by him to be less than 2 per cent beer, and both juries disaged. The new charge is for another sale on the same day as the one concerned in the former charge. Peterson says he was informed by the officers Monday to go to Santa Ana, which he did, only to be put in jail on the second charge. He was unable to get hold of his attorney until the following day. His attorney put up $50 cash bail for him, and the case was continued to February 15 to be set for trial at that time. Orange Growers Have to Fight The 33 orange growers represented by N. T. Westcott in the action brought by Westcott against E. L. Gilman and Edmund Peycke Company will have to fight in the appellate court to hold the decision rendered in their favor by Judge West. Last week Attorneys Collier & Clark, for the defendants, gave notice of appeal to the higher court. The growers got judgment in the superior court for oranges sold about two years ago through Gilman. The plaintiff showed that Gilman, who went into bankruptcy, was an agent of Edmund Peycke Company, produce dealers of Los Angeles, and that the company was responsible for the contract made by Gilman. Ruddock Right on the Job An alarm clock that went off three hours too soon was responsible for a stir among police officers at Santa Ana the other morning about 1:45 o'clock. R. R. Dickenson, transfer man, heard someone taking the transfer auto truck out of the yard. It was then after 1:30 o'clock. Concluding that someone was stealing the truck, Dickenson called up the city hall, and Officers Murray and Ryan started on a hunt for the supposed thief. Sheriff Ruddock was called up, and he got up and dressed ready for the chase. Murray and Ryan heard the auto coming. They lay in wait. The sheriff heard the auto, also, and he ran out to stop the truck. The truck stopped. Perched on the seat was one of Dickenson's drivers, who quickly explained the situation. He had an early job of delivering, and so set his clock for 4:30. The clock went off about 1:30. After getting started on his trip, the driver looked at his watch, discovered his mistake and was on his way back to the shed when Ruddock stopped him. Martin Proposes Flying Trip If plans under consideration by Glenn L. Martin develop, a circuit flight will be made by him the middle of this month. It is proposed that he the municipal water plant at Fullerton will be commenced about February 10. The city has just tested both of its wells and finds that each pumps 113 inches or both a total of 226 inches. One of these wells alone would more than supply the entire city. V. G. Barr, resident engineer for Sloan & Robson of San Francisco, engineers for the water and sewer systems, of Fullerton, declares the water according to test could not be better for domestic use, as it is soft and clear. Each well is 420 feet deep and the first well was cut into at 310 to 334 feet, also at 350 to 510 feet, giving a combined water strata of 84 feet. Well No. 2 was cut into at 312 feet to 324 feet and at 344 to 408 feet, which gives it a water strata of 78 feet. A sample of the water has been sent to the State University at Berkeley for analysis. The wells will cost the city about $4,000 and were each put down in a short time. New Trial Jurors Judge West has drawn 45 names from the 90 selected by the Board of Supervisors as trial jurors for 1913. The 45 drawn were called to court on Monday, and will be the regular venire for the first term. The 45 names drawn follow: George W. Alexander, H. A. Miller, C. L. Slack, M. S. Summers, R. C. Burkett, J. G. Launer, John C. Tuffree, Ralph M. Jackson, Archie Henry, R. E. Larter, J. P. Spaulding, James Forbes, Gilbert Bates, George A. Shoemaker, M. C. Cooper, Henry Belt, L. W. Evans, J. C.

WAS AN OFF DAY FOR THE ANAHEIM BOYS Local Ball Team Defeated by the Coast Leaguers Sunday The unbroken series of victories which hitherto perched upon the banner of the Anaheim baseball team was rudely interrupted Sunday, when the All-Star aggregation of Coast Leaguers defeated the boys by a score of 9 to 1. This same bunch, with the addition of Halla, the Los Angeles pitcher, and who quickly explained the situation. He had an early job of delivering, and so set his clock for 4:30. The clock went off about 1:30. After getting started on his trip, the driver looked at his watch, discovered his mistake and was on his way back to the shed when Ruddock stopped him. Martin Proposes Flying Trip If plans under consideration by Glenn L. Martin develop, a circuit flight will be made by him the middle of this month. It is proposed that he start from Santa Ana, carrying with him fruit and vegetables not harmed by the frost, stopping at Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton, and fly to Pomona, and from that point to other Southern California cities, returning to Santa Ana. A Pomona dispatch says: The Pomona business men have united in a campaign for a chamber of commerce, and will merge the present board of trade and the business men's association into the larger organization at a banquet to be held February 12.* On that date a celebration will be held and Glen L. Martin, the aviator, will fly here from Santa Ana and Fullerton, bringing with him products from those cities to be served at the banquet. He will then carry products of the Pomona valley to other cities around the Kite. Prominent men of Southern California will be invited to the celebration and a number of speakers from Los Angeles and other cities will give addresses. Whether or not Martin will stop his flight in Anaheim is a question for the future to determine. He asks $300 to come down here and remain half an hour. The board of trade turned his proposition down. Local Ball Team Defeated by the Coast Leaguers Sunday The unbroken series of victories which hitherto perched upon the banner of the Anaheim baseball team was rudely interrupted Sunday, when the All-Star aggregation of Coast Leaguers defeated the boys by a score of 9 to 1. This same bunch, with the addition of Halla, the Los Angeles pitcher, and Easterley, of the Chicago White Sox, was walloped to the tune of 5 to 3 on the local diamond two weeks previously, but Sunday appeared to be an off day with the boys. The game was lost in the first three innings, the visitors chalking up eight scores. The last six innings was a hard-fought and even battle, each team making a single run. Moore, the first man up, lined out a long drive over the center fielder's head, which landed him on third base. Deaken, in the same inning followed suit with a three-bagger, scoring Moore, and subsequently scored on a sacrifice hit. This appeared to demoralize Heinrich and in the second inning he was hit for five runs. Another run was gathered in by the visitors in the third, but after that Dutch settled down, recovered his nerve and held them down to a few scattering hits and one score. Lober, the left-handed Coast League pitcher, was practically invincible the first half of the game, but the locals began to find his curves after awhile. He was always great in an emergency, however, and twice fanned a batter when a hit meant one and possibly two Children Must Have Good Light for Studying A poor light strains the eyes, and the injurious effects may last for life.

C. Langenborser, at Oronge. Langenborser was in Santa Ana attending a concert. I. L. Ballard noticed the fire first and sent in an alarm. Ballard rushed to the barn, and found the door locked. At that time the horses were down in their stalls. Ballard managed to save a few chickens. By the time the firemen, who had to go over a mile, arrived, the barn had fallen in. The total loss was about $600, with no insurance. One of the horses was worth about $250 and the other $125. A ton and a half of hay, 500 pounds of rolled barley, and two sets of harness were destroyed. Heaters These Chill mornings call for a little warmth. We have 20 styles of air tights.
