HOW LONG HAVE MEN LIVED IN CALIFORNIA ARROWHEADS IN EXCAVATIONS LEAD ARCHAEOLOGISTS TO INTERESTING DISCUSSIONS DISCOVERED WITH BONES OF OTHER ANIMALS LIVING IN PREHISTORIC TIMES "Have men lived in California for the past quarter of a million years?" Holding up an arrowhead and a piece of carved bone, Professor J. C. Merriam propounded this question to the archaeologists, in meeting assembled at the University of California. His answer was, "Probably not." The arrowhead and the bone were dug up recently, at Los Angeles and at San Pedro, alongside bones of camels and tigers that had been dead and buried at least 250,000 years. But Professor Merriam expressed the belief that the arrowhead and the bone did not really belong with the camel bones, but had slipped down some gopher-hole from recent into old deposits. He pointed out that aboriginal men from Cape Horn to Alaska are pretty much alike physically. There are no such vast differences in type as between the varied races of Asia, Europe and Africa. From this he concluded that man is comparatively a newcomer in the Americas, and has had little time to vary. All reported instances of the finding of human relics in California in deposits of past geological ages Professor Merriam believes to be due in the east, while another will tell the same story and say it explains why there are mosquitoes. Moreover, Professor Waterman proves that the native myths of America are but little concerned with explaining sun, moon, stars, thunder, and personified natural forces. Animal traits are the subject most frequent, next come stories about places and about topographical features, and then myths about ceremonials practised by the Indians. Vast unworked mines of unknown material dealing with aboriginal life in California were pointed out to the archaeologists by Professor Herbert E. Bolton. He told of going to the College of the Holy Cross, at Queretaro in Mexico, where for many generations the Mission fathers were trained. The few padres left told him as they had told other learned visitors, that nothing remained of the old records. But at last, by the help of an old servant, whose aid was given him by the fathers, he found an ancient chest in an attic staircase, suffled full of old manuscripts. And in that chest, forgotten for a hundred years, were the annual reports of missions all over northern Mexico and the Southwestern United States, for a long succession of years. Here is priceless material for historian and anthropologist on the exploration settling, and Christianizing of the southwest. Professor Thwaites of Wisconsin has published a monumental series of 73 volumes of Jesuit relations for North America. Professor Bolton has found an even greater quantity of unpublished Jesuit relations for the southwest. These are just examples of how Professor Bolton has discovered hundreds of thousands of volumes of historical archives whose existence has been unsuspected. The old world, too, has material for the archaeologists. No one has ever been able to certainly tell of what ways of man in past age lands. Every Saturday there is a lecture at the University of Anthropology and at the Museum of Greek Art of Anthropology on the Berkeley. All are well these lectures, and to seelections given by Mrs. H. from Egypt, Greece, Italy Philippines, the South Mexico, and the village cliffs of pueblo dwelling ans of America. More next summer session, from August 2 there are to be Professor Washburn even Greek art, and classes on cal archaeology, anthrofolklore, and conducted Washburn, by Professor Hutton Webster, Principal Anthropology in the Nebraska.

He pointed out that aboriginal men from Cape Horn to Alaska are pretty much alike physically. There are no such vast differences in type as between the varied races of Asia, Europe and Africa. From this he concluded that man is comparatively a newcomer in the Americas, and has had little time to vary. All reported instances of the finding of human relics in California in deposits of past geological ages Professor Merriam believes to be due to accidental mixing. Another tradition was upset by Professor A. L. Kroeber. He announced at this same spring meeting of the San Francisco Society of the Archaeological Institute of America, the discovery that there are apparently but five Indian language stocks spoken only in California, instead of seventeen, as the best authorities for a generation past had believed. California has long been known as a Babel of native tongues. It has been believed that there were twenty-one families of Indian languages spoken in the State, each as unrelated to all the others as English is to Chinese. Of these stocks, some are represented by a number of different but related languages. Dr. Kroeber and Dr. Dixon of Harvard now have shown unsuspected relationship which reduce the families of languages spoken in California to nine, of which four are represented elsewhere, while five are unknown except in California. Professor Kroeber succeeded in demonstrating laws of sound change which cause words in one dialect to show a very different but predictable appearance in another language of the same group. He can now throw light on the character of certain vanished languages which preceded long years ago, and gave birth to, related Indian languages still spoken in California ranchers today. Concerning the making of myths by the Indians, Professor T. T. Waterman told the archaeologists many surprising things. Many scholars have told the world that primitive man usually invented his myths to explain things, and most commonly to explain the sun, moon, stars, and natural phenomena. Not so with the American Indian, says Professor Waterman. He has examined thousands of Indian myths, from the Plains Indians, the Esquimaux, the Southwestern tribes, the California peoples, etc. He finds that the story comes first, the explanation being merely tacked on. Many myths are known by various tribes from edge to edge of the continent. The story may be pretty uniform in illustrated a monumental series of 73 volumes of Jesuit relations for North America. Professor Bolton has found an even greater quantity of unpublished Jesuit relations for the southwest. These are just examples of how Professor Bolton has discovered hundreds of thousands of volumes of historical archives whose existence has been unsuspected. The old world, too, has material for the archaeologists. No one has ever been able to certainly tell of what race the Hittites were—a people of whom the Old Testament speaks often—and no one has even proved that he could read the Hittite inscriptions. Now Professor George Hempl of Stanford told the archaeologists that he believes the Hittites were Greek in language. He showed and interpreted a number of Hittite inscriptions deciphered with the same dexterity and ingenuity which he has applied to studying the Etruscan inscriptions of pre-Roman Italy and the Minoan inscriptions to Crete and pre-historic Greece and Asia Minor. How Julius Caesar taught the Romans to adorn their cities with great parks, colonades, and open squares was told by Professor H. Rushton Fairclough of Stanford. How study of the animated scenes painted on ancient Greek vases reveals fresh knowledge of the life, traditions, and beliefs of classic times was discussed by Professor Oliver Miles Washburn of the University of California. John P. Harrington of Santa Fe, Mexico, told the amusing tale of how an Indian of Cochiti Pueblo foisted on the world hundreds of stone idols which he had made himself and sold as ancient relics. Professor Charles Hill-Tout of Vancouver discussed the beginnings of our alphabet. There were a number of other achaeological papers. How he has dug out from the asphalt beds of Los Angeles the largest lions, tigers, wolves, and carnivorous birds that ever roamed the earth, a bear more than twice the size of the largest grizzly, and more than seventy-five extinct species of birds, when only fifteen species of extinct birds had been found in the whole world before, was told by Professor J. C. Meriam of the University of California. Never before has science had such a marvelous opportunity to understand what life was like at a past geological age. No such abundant collection exists anywhere in the world as is constituted by these hundreds of thousands of perfectly preserved bones of animals that lived a quarter of a million years ago now brought to light by the University of California excavation.

FINANCIAL TROUBLES CAUSE OF DROWNING Pennsylvania Man Jumps Off Pier at Sunset Beach Saturday Night Financial troubles are believed to have been the reason George A. E. Row of Taxtang, Pa., drowned himself at Sunset Beach Saturday night. His body floated ashore Sunday morning. Dispatches from Harrisburg, Pa., indicate that Row disappeared about a month ago, and it is believed he was short in his funds with the poor farm board, with which he was connected. There was 15 cents only found in his clothing. Row was seen about Sunset Beach Saturday night as late as 11 o'clock. Two or three fishermen are reported to have said that Row talked to them in a friendly way. IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Divorce Actions Judge West has granted interlocutory decrees of divorce to Mrs. Nannie Ramella Jones against Theophiliss Jones and to Pearl Malcom against Robert V. Malcom. A final decree of divorce was given Maunda Williamson against Bert B. Williamson. Horses Stolen From Delhi Two horses have been reported stolen from Delhi, and so far as the officers can learn the thieves have gotten out of the county. Wednesday night of last week, a bay 7-year-old horse was stolen from Joe Guiterrez's barn at Delhi. Friday night a brown mare, 6-year-old, 900 pounds in weight, with two hind feet white, was stolen from Captain William Kelly's barn at Delhi. Officers who have been making an investigation have no idea what direction the thieves took. Organized to Supply Water Articles of incorporation have been filed by the La Habra Domestic Water Company, organized by residents of La Habra valley; capitalization, $20,000, of which $1,800 is subscribed. The incorporators are W. L. York, C. J. Hinshaw, J. G. Launer, C. M. Glazier, J. C. Knight, J. G. Sargent, J. L. Morris, C. L. Brewster, C. A. Ridgway, W. H. Redfern, W. A. Davis, F A. Hersey, La Habra Citrus Association, G. W. Beck and C. E. Sutton. Given Probation Sam Nettles, a Fullerton negro, was given probation on Friday, sentence being suspended for seven years. One of the conditions of his probation is that he must not drink liquor. Nettles said he did not remember pouring sulphuric acid on candy meant for Mrs. Benson, his step-daughter. He said he was intoxicated, but would plead guilty because the evidence was against him. KELLOGG COMPANY PURCHASES OIL Water Board Enters Into Contract For Disposal of Product From Reservoir Site Analeim, Cal., April 19, 1913. A regular meeting of the board of directors was held on the above date with all members present except Director Bradford. Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. Director Beazley reported that the Fullerton trustees had asked permission to lower the grade of the North Branch ditch near the property of Mr. Sheppard for the purpose of making a road to the city's reservoir. This was referred to the ditch committee and engineer. Samuel W. Clement of the Pacific Light & Power Company, asked permission to install a line of poles across the A. U. W. Co.'s property near Yorba. Attorney Keech was instructed to draw up an agreement and on motion of Dwyer, seconded by Beazley, the president and secretary were authorized to sign the agreement. The agreement with the Kellogg Oil Company for the sale of the company's royalty oil for the year ending April 15, 1914, was read and on motion of Hale, seconded by McFadden, the president and secretary were authorized to sign same. On motion of Dwyer, seconded by Hale, the president and secretary were authorized to sign the agreements with the Santa Fe Company for two crossings at Daum, also a warrant in favor of the Santa Fe Company for $10.00. The communication received from S. W. McCulloch, complaining of damage being done to the Placentia Fruit Company's property by water over-flowing the ditches was referred to the super- body floated ashore Sunday morning. Dispatches from Harrisburg, Pa., indicate that Row disappeared about a month ago, and it is believed he was short in his funds with the poor farm board, with which he was connected. There was 15 cents only found in his clothing. Row was seen about Sunset Beach Saturday night as late as 11 o'clock. Two or three fishermen are reported to have said that Row talked to them in a friendly way. Sunday morning Row's outer clothing and photographs in it were found at the end of the pier. In his clothing was found a poem entitled "The Moneyless Man," supposed to have been written by Row. The body was found about 6 o'clock by Elliott L. Perkins, a Los Angeles attorney, who was there to fish. The outgoing tide left the body fully exposed. In the dead man's clothing was found papers showing that he was a member of the Masons, Odd Fellows, Modern Woodmen and Moose orders at Harrisburg, Pa., and chairman of the Republican club of that city. He also left a note to his wife, addressed to Taxtang, Pa., in which he wrote: "Dear Margie: I can stand it no longer. I am going wild. This is not your fault." Another note, not addressed, read: "Bury me in the sand; don't send my body East." The man was about 50 years old. He left two well-filled valises of clothing. He was seen at Sunset Beach about 10 o'clock Saturday night, having apparently just arrived. It is supposed from the condition of the body that he jumped from the pier shortly after midnight. The master of the Masonic lodge in Santa Ana wired to Row's wife in Pennsylvania and to his Masonic lodge, of which the name was stated in the man's notebook, as were the names of all the other lodges of which he was apparently a member. The body will be held until instructions for its disposal are received from the East. A coroner's jury rendered a verdict of suicide. TWO MEXICANS GO OVER STEEP GRADE Man and Woman Injured When Buggy Tips Over on Santa Ana Road Two Mexicans, a man and a woman, in a buggy went off a grade in the Santa Ana canyon one day last week. The man had his jaw broken, and the woman's skull was apparently broken La Habra Citrus Association, G. W. Beck and C. E. Sutton. Given Probation Sam Nettles, a Fullerton negro, was given probation on Friday, sentence being suspended for seven years. One of the conditions of his probation is that he must not drink liquor. Nettles said he did not remember pouring sulphuric acid on candy meant for Mrs. Benson, his step-daughter. He said he was intoxicated, but would plead guilty because the evidence was against him. A. H. Rothermal, B. G. Balcom, William Starbuck and L. Marshall, who petitioned for his probation, said they knew him to have been in no trouble until his arrest recently. Asks Damages For Death of Son Declaring that the Santa Fe railroad is responsible for the death of his son, J. W. Allen of San Diego has brought suit against the railroad for $12,500 damages. The son, F. C. Allen, was killed at the Santa Fe depot at Santa Ana on October 23, 1912. Allen had been drinking. He bought a ticket from Los Angeles to Santa Ana, but endeavored to ride on to San Diego, where his parents lived. He was put off the train at Santa Ana. He tried to get an again when the train was in motion. The complaint alleges that he was then forced off the steps and was killed. The complaint states that Allen was 25 years old, a brake-man and motorman earning $75 a month, the main support of his parents. "Come on over," he called to the man who was attached to the lamp-post. "I won't," said the worthy, "I can't hardly stay where I am." KILLED BY FREIGHT TRAIN John Carizosa Has Terrible End at Irvine Station Sunday Evening John Carizosa, aged 34, of El Toro, was ground to death beneath the wheels of a freight train at Irvine station Sunday night about 12:20 o'clock. The next morning his remains were found scattered along the tracks, cut into a dozen or more pieces by the wheels of the train. Carizosa is known to have been TWO MEXICANS GO OVER STEEP GRADE Man and Woman Injured When Buggy Tips Over on Santa Ana Road Two Mexicans, a man and a woman, in a buggy went off a grade in the Santa Ana canyon one day last week. The man had his jaw broken, and the woman's skull was apparently broken by a blow on the forehead. The buggy caught on some rocks on the edge of the Santa Ana river. Otherwise both would have been drowned. The accident occurred about 100 yards this side of the county line. The couple were on their way from Carpenteria to Mexico, and a Mexican interpreter who talked to the man after the accident said that he said they had been drinking. They had a calf in the back of the buggy. Charles Romer and a party of other automobilists from Santa Ana had stopped at the county line, which is a mile and a half below Prado, when they were called by two women from another automobile, which with a punctured tire had stopped on the grade. The women said a buggy had gone off the grade. The buggy was found up-side-down 35 feet down the embankment. The man and woman were taken out, then the horse was cut loose. He went up the river bottom on the run. Then someone lifted the rear of the buggy, and the calf, hitherto unnoticed, scrabled out unharmed. The injured people were put in an automobile and taken to Rincon. If you have anything to sell, try a Gazette classified. I WAS READING about a man who said to his wife: "How is it you told the census man you were 30; when I married you a year ago you said you were 22?" And the wife replied: "My, but how time flies when you are happy." That's right. A woman never ages and a man is as old as his liver. Are you living or just existing? Do you intend to build a new home or rejuvenate the old one? In either case you'll want our lumber.

The next morning his remains were found scattered along the tracks, cut into a dozen or more pieces by the wheels of the train. Carizosa is known to have been drinking. He got off the train at Irvine possibly by mistake. It is thought that he laid down on the track or stumbled in front of the engine. It was not known that an accident had occurred until the train reached San Bernardino when blood was found on the engine. Philip Ahren, the section foreman, found Carizosa's remains. Deputy Coroner Mills states that he has never known a case where mutilation has been more frightful. Carizosa has a wife and children living at El Toro. The remains were taken to Santa Ana. A NOTABLE GENERAL An Inspector, while examining a class at the annual examination, said: "Give me the names of some of the most distinguished English generals during the Brunswick period." Hands went up all around, but one impulsive little fellow, unable to control himself, bawled out: "General Panic!" "General Panic?" queried the inspector. "O, indeed! And what was he specially distinguished for?" "Please, sir, when the South Sea Bubble burst he seized hold of the whole nation."
