His third shot took effect sidewise through the Mexican's clothing, the ball passing through the coat from shoulder to shoulder. The Mexican fell, uttering curses, hat in one hand, his revolver in the other. Germann ran up and ordered him to throw his gun away, which the Mexican complied with. He was manacled and taken into custody by Officer Dean. At this juncture, Ledesma appeared, firing at the posse. His fire was returned and he started to run, with Germann on the chase after him at a distance of 150 feet. Ledesma headed for a gum grove, and Germann attempted to head him off. Ledesma emptied his revolver three times at Germann, some of the bullets flying in... SHOT AT EIGHTEEN TIMES BY TWO INFURIATED MEXICANS SHERIFF'S POSSE IN GUN FIGHT WITH CHOLO THIEVES NORTH OF ORANGETHORPE Officer Phil Germann of this city was shot at 18 times by two Mexican thieves whom a sheriff's posse was chasing some distance north of Wm. Schulte's ranch on Orangethrope avenue on Friday morning about 8 o'clock. One of the Mexicans, Pedro Arendo, fired three times at Germann and only gave up his fight when a bullet from Germann's .38 cut through his clothing from shoulder to shoulder. No flesh wound was inflicted, but the man fell to the ground, when Germann appeared, demanding that he throw his revolver away. Arendo complied and Officer Dean placed manacles upon him and took him into custody. No sooner had the Mexican been reduced into submission, than his partner, Cornelio Ledesma appeared from behind a barn and opened fire at Germann. Both men exchanged a fusillade of shots, the Mexican emptying his revolver repeatedly. Ledesma ran away from Germann, but turned and fired at him with a .44 revolver. He emptied his weapon three times at Germann, who kept popping away at him at long distance without effect. At this moment Constable Clark of Garden Grove, who was in the posse chasing the Mexicans, brought Ledesma to the ground with a rifle ball which pierced his right leg below the thigh, shattering the bone, and severing the main artery. The bone protruded from the leg in two places, causing what was supposed to be a fatal wound as the desperado bled profusely. The two men were taken into the sheriff's automobile and driven rapidly to Santa Ana. Arendo was placed in jail and Lesdesma taken to the county hospital, where he refused to have his leg amputated. It was said on Saturday that his chances for recovery were slight. Marshal Kellenberger received a telephone message from Sheriff Ruddock at 6 o'clock on Friday morning saying that a band of Mexican thieves were in this vicinity and that Undersheriff Law and Officer Dean would be over in an automobile to search for them. Kellenberger detailed Germann to assist in the chase. The officers were throw his gun away, which the Mexican complied with. He was manacled and taken into custody by Officer Dean. At this juncture, Ledesma appeared, firing at the posse. His fire was returned and he started to run, with Germann on the chase after him at a distance of 150 feet. Ledesma headed for a gum grove, and Germann attempted to head him off. Ledesma emptied his revolver three times at Germann, some of the bullets flying in close proximity to the officer's head. Germann was not idle during the time, but kept after his man, running in a plowed field, and pumped lead at him at every jump. At this moment Constable Clark who had taken to the auto and was pursuing Ledesma, fired at him with a Winchester rifle. The ball pierced his right leg below the thigh, inflicting a compound comminuted fracture. The men were placed in the auto and hurried to Santa Ana. Ledesma was taken to the county hospital where physicians declared amputation was the only means of saving his life. To this the desperado demurred, and on Saturday it was said that he would probably die as a result of his wound. Ledesma lies at the county hospital at Santa Ana desperately wounded, although it was said yesterday he had a chance for his life. Arendo is in the county jail on charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder.

AL Marshal Kellenberger received a telephone message from Sheriff Ruddock at 6 o'clock on Friday morning saying that a band of Mexican thieves were in this vicinity and that Undersheriff Law and Officer Dean would be over in an automobile to search for them. Kellenberger detailed Germann to assist in the chase. The officers were accompanied by Constable Clark of Garden Grove who had participated in a gun fight with them the night before. The Mexicans had been guilty of several thefts at Garden Grove and when Clark went to place them under arrest they shot at him several times, making their escape in the darkness. Germann joined the posse here, and after a hasty breakfast the men set out on North Olive street to call upon Mrs. Trapp, who it is believed, knew something of the men's whereabouts. She was unable to give the officers any definite information, and they proceeded to a Mexican camp near the sugar factory, where they were informed both desperados were at a Mexican settlement on Orange torpe avenue north of the Schulte ranch. As they reached the place, Arendo emerged from a house and began firing. As he stepped from the threshold his hand sought his hippocket. Germann's quick eye discerned the movement and he cautioned the others in the party to have a lookout for the man whom they were searching for. As he spoke, Arendo whipped out a revolver and began firing. The officers were by this time out of their automobile and a fusillade of shots was set after Arendo. He ran, turning to fire at the officers. Germann was in the window full of rings, everyone solid gold. Sets are guaranteed to stay in. The price is especially low during this sale. Investigate.

BASEBALL GAME AT BUENA PARK Chamber of Commerce Team Will Clash With School Boys on Diamond Saturday There will be something stirring at the Park next Saturday afternoon when the Chamber of Commerce baseball team will clash with the school boys on the school grounds. The argument will be furious from start to finish, as bad blood has existed for a long time between the two organizations. It has been definitely decided by the manager of the Chamber of Commerce team to bar all players over 80 years old and one crutch only will be allowed each player. Dr. D. W. TRACK SLOW TIME MADE IN PACIFIC COAST MEET ON BERKELEY OVAL SATURDAY LETTER FROM RAYMOND ELLIOTT TELLS OF TIME HAD BY ANAHEIM BOYS IN THE NORTH The following letter from Raymond Elliott, who with Beebe, was entered in the Pacific coast track meet held at Berkeley Saturday, and also in the Stanford University meet next Saturday, was received at this office on Tuesday, and is reprinted for the benefit of our readers who are interested in the achievements of the Anaheim boys who are demonstrating their knowledge of track work in the north: Berkeley, Cal., April 6, 1913. We arrived in San Francisco on Thursday morning in a shower of rain, and immediately left for Berkeley and have been here ever since. During the remainder of Thursday showers were intermingled with sunshine. We noticed at once the lower temperature, much lower than we are having in Southern California at present. Friday morning was clear and warm so we warmed up a bit on the field because the track was too wet to be used. In the afternoon the preliminaries in all track events, except the mile run, and most of the field events, were held. Clarence won his heat of the half-mile run with ease in the slow time of 2:10. Other Southern California men qualified for the finals, among whom were five of the Pomona high boys, Borgstrom of U. S. C. preparatory school, Beckis of Occidental academy, and Goodwin of Hollywood. Borgstrom won the pole vault with a leap of 12 feet 6 1/16 inches, setting a new world's record for high schools. Hollywood sent up a big team, but all except Goodwin failed to place. In the mile run, the first event of the big meet, Beebe won with ease. The time was awfully slow on account of the wet track, 4:45. Beebe was in a class by himself. Although he started the very last man, it was not long before he led the field by a safe margin. In the last lap he lengthened his stride and pulled away from his nearest rival, as he has done in his Southern California meets, and won by 20 yards. In the half mile Buck drew a better number and took the pole at the pistol crack. His place was never in danger after that and he finished strong in 2 minutes 5 second. Although this timeford University for the meet next Saturday. We have been looking things over pretty carefully, and have taken a good many pictures of the meet and university, to show those at home. Please send this week's Gazette to us at Stanford University, also last week's if they're not all gone. Sincerely yours, RAYMOND ELLIOTT. BEEBE WINS 2 FIRSTS IN U.C. TRACK MEET (Continued from page 1.) came Anaheim, which has also a fine little track team—his name is Beebe—and Healdsburg, whose team is named Briggs, tied for third place. "Healdsburg's ten points were made by Briggs, who won both sprints. Anaheim's were the result of Beebe's wins in the mile and half mile. "Beebe was in a class by himself in the distance runs. The mile was simply a romp for him, and he won the half-mile easily, although Chapman of Santa Rosa might have given him a better race had he kept clear of pockets in the first lap. Chapman had to make up 20 yards before he could get clear of the field in the last time around, and when he was clear Beebe was so far ahead that there wasn't a chance for the Santa Rosa boy. Beebe finished strong and showed no effects of his mile run earlier in the afternoon." W. C. T. U. MEETING Mrs. Gervais and Mrs. Foster Secure 72 New Members for Organization At the Frances Willard Memorial meeting of the Anaheim W. C. T. U., held February 11, Mrs. D. Gervais and Mrs. G. Foster challenged the rest of the union (about 60 members) to secure new members, the losing side to entertain the new members and the winning side. The meeting that closed the contest was held at the home of Mrs. Gervais, Tuesday the 8th of April, there being 125 present and much interest shown as to the result of the contest. One hundred new members were secured in all, Mrs. Gervais and Mrs. Foster having 72 to their credit. The achievement of two members more than doubling the membership of the union is remarkable, the winners deserve great praise and too much honor cannot be given them for the faithful, hard work done in the eight weeks of Diamond Saturday There will be something stirring at the Park next Saturday afternoon when the Chamber of Commerce baseball team will clash with the school boys on the school grounds. The argument will be furious from start to finish, as bad blood has existed for a long time between the two organizations. It has been definitely decided by the manager of the Chamber of Commerce team to bar all players over 80 years old and one crutch only will be allowed each player. Dr. D. W. Hasson has been agreed on to umpire the game, and to enforce his decisions he will wear an his shapely hips as pretty a pair of Colts' six-shooters as one would care to see. He will impose liberal fines on the players on the slightest provocation and enforce immediate collection of same for the benefit of the flood sufferers. Suitable conveyances will be provided by the management to carry any of the Chamber of Commerce players around the bases if by any chance they happen to hit the ball. Bolsterous conduct or shooting at the players by the audience will not be tolerated. Refreshments will be served on the grounds. Game will be called at 2:30 P.M., or as soon thereafter as the umpire gets his guns loaded. It will be a rip-roaring game. Let's go and see it and enjoy a laugh with our neighbors. At the last meeting of the vestry of St. Michael's Episcopal church, of which the Rev. David Todd Gillmor is the rector, it was decided to erect, at once, a beautiful home on the church property for a rectory. The following were appointed as the committee in charge: B. G. Balcom, A. E.

When seeking the best table wines, sweet wines, and champagne, seek no further than the Anaheim Winery, opposite West Anaheim Southern Pacific depot. time was awfully slow on account of the wet track, 4:45. Beebe was in a class by himself. Although he started the very last man, it was not long before he led the field by a safe margin. In the last lap he lengthened his stride and pulled away from his nearest rival, as he has done in his Southern California meets, and won by 20 yards. In the half mile Buck drew a better number and took the pole at the pistol crack. His place was never in danger after that and he finished strong in 2 minutes 5 second. Although this time is very slow for Beebe, it must be remembered that he had to run in slush where his spiked shoes did him no good. The Examiner said this morning that "Anaheim has a good little team—his name is Beebe," which is quite true. His 10 points placed our school third in the meet. Stockton won 23 points with a two-man team, Pomona high took second with 13 points. Nichols of that school broke the record in the high jump by clearing the bar at 6 feet 1¼ inches. The showing made by the Southland was certainly a creditable one. Caughey, a husky boy from Ukiah, won the discus throw with a heave of 113 feet, Beckis of Occidental won second with 105 feet 5 inches which was an inch better than my best one. The field on which the event was held slopes considerably and the circle in which we stood was on the worst part of the slope which made an awful difference in the elevation of the throw. As we had no practice throws from this ring, it took several throws to adjust ourselves to the conditions. With this poor footing it was hard to make the best throws. Beebe was the sensation of the meet when he trotted out for the half mile every one in the big grand stand greeted him with cheer after cheer. People was held at the home of Mrs. Gervais, Tuesday the 8th of April, there being 125 present and much interest shown as to the result of the contest. One hundred new members were secured in all, Mrs. Gervais and Mrs. Foster having 72 to their credit. The achievement of two members more than doubling the membership of the union is remarkable, the winners deserve great praise and too much honor cannot be given them for the faithful, hard work done in the eight weeks of the contest. A beautiful gift was presented to the retiring president, Mrs. L. C. Yoeman, who responded in a few well-chosen and befitting words. A rare treat was given by Mrs. Catherine Pierce Wheat, of Los Angeles, state superintendent of the department of physical education of the W. C. T. U., whose most excellent talk on "Physical Education" was enjoyed by all. Many helpful, up-lifting and instructive suggestions were given and all present felt inspired to be better women and to try to carry out the helpful thoughts so kindly and convincingly given.
