VOLUME XXXXV MOTHER COLONY SWEETS TOP MARKET ORANGES SHIPPED FROM ANAHEIM TO EASTERN MARKETS BRING TOP PRICES, $3.15 QUOTED ANAHEIM BOARD OF TRADE MEET IN REGULAR SESSION AND HEAR COMMITTEE REPORTS The Anaheim Board of Trade met in regular session on Monday evening, with President F. C. Krause presiding. Secretary Earl Dutton read the minutes. There were about 20 members present. A communication was received from S. Courler of La Habra in reference to establishing a brickyard in this city. The matter was referred to the committee on manufactures. There was dissention among the advertising committee, consisting of Messrs Ahlborn, Hauck and Greswell, Anaheim, would be devoid of many pleasures. The committee will attend to the guide posts just as soon as possible. In reference to the auto sight seeing excursions to be run from Long Beach through principal points of Orange county, it was the consensus of opinion that some one from this city, well versed as to the advantages of this section, should accompany these excursions when going through Anaheim. They are to be run three days a week, but as yet have not been largely attended. It is a good advertising stunt, however, and the board of trade members believed the promoters should be given every encouragement. Mr. Gresswell said sign posts have been placed on South Los Angeles street, announcing that the population of Anaheim will be "13,000 in 1920." Some of the most optimistic members averred those figures should be changed to read 15,000 instead of the hoodoo numeral, not so much from that alleged supersitition, but really from the fact that Anaheim is growing and will not only easily reach the 15,000 mark in 1920, but will pass that number.

Courler of La Habra in reference to establishing a brickyard in this city. The matter was referred to the committee on manufactures. There was dissention among the advertising committee, consisting of Messrs Ahlborn, Hauck and Groswell, over the new booklet just issued. Mr. Greswell refused to audit the bill, amounting to $307.75, because it contained the printer's imprint upon the back page. Mr. Greswell classed that as an advertisement and would not O.K the bill. He stated that the exposition managers will not accept literature containing individual advertising matter. He has written to them in reference to this especial case and an answer is expected shortly. If the expositions will not accept the booklet, one of the best means of advertising Anaheim will be lost. Messrs Hauck and Ahlborn argued differently and claimed that the imprint was proper. They did not class it as an advertisement any more than their names signed to articles in the pamphlet were of an advertising nature. In the event that the fair managers refuse to accept the pamphlets containing the imprint, Committeeman Hauck stated that he personally would make some arrangement whereby the imprint may be eliminated. Herman Noll got the floor and asked to be enlightened as to how the booklets had been distributed before being regularly received by the Board of Trade. A couple of hundred had been sent away to San Francisco and other points. He classed the job as a good one and that the bill should be paid, but he failed to see why the imprint should have been put on. The bill for printing the booklet was ordered paid. The committee on public improvement reported that arrangements had been made with Frank Champlin whereby his frontage on the county highway, just outside the city limits on the north, had been leased for $12 for 60 feet per annum. The board immediately accepted the proposition and ordered the secretary to draw up a contract to that effect. Mr. Champlin maintains a junk yard on the premises and it is the intention of board to rent bill board signs to ad- PLACENTIA PIONEER PASSES TO REST Chris Moran Succombs to Pneumonia After Brief Illness Chris Moran, one of the best known and highly respected residents of Placentia passed away at his home there on Tuesday of last week, after an illness of about a week. Mr. Moran had lived in Placentia 23 years, and was widely known throughout that section as a man of excellent character and good qualities. He was a native of Ireland, and before coming to California had lived for a number of years in Wisconsin. He had been in excellent health, despite his advancing years, until a week or so before his death when he was taken down with pneumonia, from which it was impossible for him to recover. He was aged 84 years, 4 months and 10 days. He leaves a sister residing in Placentia, and a sister in Wisconsin. A niece and nephew came from Wisconsin to attend the funeral, which was held on Monday. Mass was celebrated at St. Boniface Catholic church, where a large number of friends of deceased gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to his memory. Interment was made at Calvary cemetery in Los Angeles. A number of friends followed the remains in automobiles to its last resting place. The funeral was in charge of undertakers Backs & Terry. Mr. Moran was a frequent visitor in this city, and had many friends here and elsewhere throughout the county, who are deeply grieved at his demise. CREATORE'S ITALIAN BAND RENDERS GOOD MUSIC Splendid Entertainment Listened to By Appreciative Audience Creatore's famous Italian band gave one of the best musical entertainments the people of Anaheim have The committee on public improvement reported that arrangements had been made with Frank Champlin whereby his frontage on the county highway, just outside the city limits on the north, had been leased for $12 for 60 feet per annum. The board immediately accepted the proposition and ordered the secretary to draw up a contract to that effect. Mr. Champlin maintains a junk yard on the premises and it is the intention of board to rent bill board signs to advertisers, thereby hiding the junk, which is not pleasing to the tourist's eye. The committee was highly elated to announce the passing from view of the place where the "iron" roses grow. The committee on entertainment had nothing to report, except that they had come out even on the recent banqueting of the associated chambers of commerce. Members attending the meeting were reminded that Mother Colony sweets again topped the Eastern market on Monday, bringing $3.15 per box. This fact is getting to be so common that it does not excite the comment as of yore. Last season the Mother Colony brands easily took first money, and have gained a reputation in Eastern markets that is first class. There is no fruit now being shipped that can equal the Mother Colony and that fact is something to be proud of. This section is justly famed for its oranges, besides many other produces in the horticultural category. The committee on placing road signs asked further time, as other business prevented them from attending to that matter. It is proposed to place guide posts on all important crossings, thereby guiding travelers on their way while sight seeing through this section. It is the purpose of the committee to have signs placed in conspicuous places guiding the tourist hitherward, for a trip through southern California, without coming to CREATORE'S ITALIAN BAND RENDERS GOOD MUSIC Splendid Entertainment Listened to By Appreciative Audience Creatore's famous Italian band gave one of the best musical entertainments the people of Anaheim have ever been privileged to hear at the high school auditorium Saturday evening. The house was filled with an appreciative audience. Signor Creatore is regarded as one of the greatest band leaders of the day, and his band is composed of high class musicians. The numbers were all excellent and were applauded by the audience. Following is the program as rendered: March "Roma" ...Musso Overture "William Tell" ...Rossini Intermezzo "Reverie" ...Creatore Quartette from Rigoletto ...Verdi Solos by Signor Catena, Rossi, Nalino and De Luca. Intermission Part Two Waltz "Blue Danube" ...Strauss Barcorolle from the "Tales of Hoffman" ...Offenbach Sextette from Lucia ...Donizetti Solos by Signori Catena, Nalino, Rossi, Malvasi, De Luca and Florio.

Frank Baum and wife returned on Thursday last from San Diego where they spent two or three weeks taking in the sights at the fair. Mr. Baum says the exposition is well worth seeing but it takes some time to see it all.

MUHR, BADLY BURNED UNDER BLAZING CAR, BUT CLAIMS WAS NOT IN IT Mystery surrounds an automobile accident which occurred at the corner of Los Angeles and South street at 10:30 o'clock Sunday night, the results of which were that a Ford machine was entirely consumed by fire, and George H. Muhr was sent to the sanitarium seriously injured. One of the mysterious features is that no one knows how many persons were in the auto at the time of the accident or who was driving it as Muhr denies any connection with it, declaring that he was standing on the street when the auto turned turtle and fell upon him. Rollo McClellan of this city, and mother in Los Angeles. She was called up on the phone but declared that the auto could not belong to her son. Efforts are being made to locate the owner of No. 124441. Officers late Monday afternoon received word from Los Angeles that the auto was the property of a Mr. Bridgners of that city, and that it was stolen last Saturday. The Los Angeles officials also stated that Muhr is an old offender and has had so many counts filed against him that it has been difficult to keep tab on them. He is only 18 years of age, but his short pathway has been strewn with misdeeds. Marshal Kellenberger notified the sanitarium authorities that the young man was his property and he would take charge of him as soon as he was able to leave the institution. Mrs. Muhr, mother of the injured man, came down from Los Angeles Monday evening, and in company with her sister, Mrs. Reno of Fullerton, visited him. REV. FRANK DOWLING WRITES FROM HONOLULU Placentia Orange Grower and Former Minister Having Good Time Word received from Dr. Frank M. Dowling, Placentia orange grower, and pastor of Fullerton Christian church, WORK ON HOTEL SHORTLY TO BEGIN ALL CONTRACTS EXPECTED TO BE LET THIS WEEK AND CONSTRUCTION RUSHED ORANGE COUNTY'S FINEST HOSTELRY IS SOON TO REPLACE OLD COMMERCIAL HOTEL Before the week is ended it is expected all the contract for the new hotel which is to be erected by John Ziegler on the site of the Commercial hotel at the corner of Center and Lemon streets will be let, and the work of demolishing the old building will speedily follow. Mr. Ziegler is desirous of giving all the work of construction possible to Anaheim people, consequently he did not let the contract in a lump as it would probably have been secured by an outside firm, and little of the work would have been secured by local builders. By letting all the contracts himself it is probable 10:30 o'clock Sunday night, the results of which were that a Ford machine was entirely consumed by fire, and George H. Muhr was sent to the sanitarium seriously injured. One of the mysterious features is that no one knows how many persons were in the auto at the time of the accident or who was driving it as Muhr denies any connection with it, declaring that he was standing on the street when the auto turned turtle and fell upon him. Rollo McClellan of this city, and Harry Soden of Brea, were witnesses of the affair, and D. D. Clemmer was on the ground shortly after and saw part of it. McClellan, Soden and their wives were coming home from Newport Beach. At the Main street bridge, Santa Ana, they overtook the machine and followed it to Chapman avenue where, McClellan says, it made a turn toward Orange. They passed it but instead of going up to Orange the Ford turned in behind them on the state highway. When nearing Anaheim the mysterious car came up from the rear under forced steam, followed by a jitney. It passed them on the leit, curved around in front of them into South street, barely missing their machine and overturned. Stopping his car as soon as possible McClellan and Soden started back. Somebody was calling for help, and on reaching the scene of the accident they found a man frantically trying to lift the overturned auto. It was on fire. They assisted him in raising it up and a man crawled out from beneath it. His head was enveloped in flames and on emerging he rushed for the shrubbery at the roaside. Somebody caught him and wrapped a laprobe over his head extinguishing the fire. He was placed in McClellan's auto and taken at once to the sanitarium. He was frightfully burned about the head and face, most of his hair being silged off. He gave his name as George H. Muhr of Los Angeles, but declared he was not in the auto. The auto in the meantime burned up as there was no fire-fighting apparatus at hand. Another mystery is what became of the man who was first on the scene and who called so loudly for help? He was a stranger and was supposed to have been an occupant of the machine, but he suddenly disappeared. The ladies in McClellan's car declare they saw a man tumble backward out of the Ford when it turned turtle. McClellan also states that while trailing the wrecked car he saw two lighted cigar stubs thrown out, one on each side, REV. FRANK DOWLING WRITES FROM HONOLULU Placentia Orange Grower and Former Minister Having Good Time Word received from Dr. Frank M. Dowling, Placentia orange grower, and pastor of Fullerton Christian church, tells of his arrival in Honolulu, where he has gone to assist in the dedication of a church. Dr. Dowling writes as follows: This is just to inform any one who may be interested that part of me arrived at Honolulu April 20. I kept arriving all along. You may recall that on my former voyage I made some references to slightly uncomfortable symptoms. Recent experiences confirm the impressions I received at that time as to the influence of rough seas over the human body. My ship, the Manoa, lately brought a group of all-star baseball players to Honolulu. My theory is that at that time she learned to pitch some new curves. I am a poor swimmer, and so, when everything began to swim before my eyes, I did what I used to do when a boy in Ohio—took a rail. However, enough of me arrived to serve for identification, and I am having the time of my life. Oh, the hospitality of these folks. I had the honor of dining last evening with a popular former Pasadena woman, Mrs. Grace Hortense Tower Warren, and with her fine husband and the beautiful girls, Katherine and Marlon. I am here to assist in the dedication of the most unique and altogether artistic and attractive church building I have ever seen. The climate is delightful. We passed the boats in the harbor attempting to lift the submarine F-4. Today the report is that progress is being made. Rev. W. E. Crabtree of San Diego is my delightful companion. We stay here some three weeks, and take in the fair at San Francisco on our return. CASE AGAINST STOCKING DISMISSED BY COURT Was Accused of Contributing to Delinquency of Two Anaheim Girls The case against Ralph Stocking charged with contributing to the delinquency of Fern and Onal Smith. Ziegler on the site of the Commercial hotel at the corner of Center and Lemon streets will be let, and the work of demolishing the old building will speedily follow. Mr. Ziegler is desirous of giving all the work of construction possible to Anaheim people, consequently he did not let the contract in a lump as it would probably have been secured by an outside firm, and little of the work would have been secured by local builders. By letting all the contracts himself it is probable that entire building will be constructed by home people. The excavating, the brick work, the plumbing, the wiring, etc., will all be let under separate contracts by Mr. Ziegler himself. Architect Eugene Durfee finished the plans two weeks ago and they were accepted. The specifications call for a modern building in every particular, with all possible conveniences. It has a frontage of 70 feet on Center street, and 103 feet on Lemon. It is to be four stories high surmounted by a glass-inclosed roof garden, which will contain, besides the lounging and observation room, a private dining room. The building will contain 57 sleeping rooms, 24 private baths and 6 public baths. On the ground floor a wide corridor will extend from Center street to large dining room which will accommodate 100 guests. The dining room also has an entrance on Lemon street. The second story of the building on the east now occupied by Ananeam National bank will be part of the hotel. It is 30x70 feet in extent and is to contain a ladies parlor and ladies writing room. The bank will occupy the corner room and the bar the east room, the corridor being between them. An automatic elevator is to extend from the corridor to the roof garden. The front is finished in cream artificial stone and red ruffled brick. The cost of the structure, exclusive of grounds, is $40,000. The front is to set back eight feet from the present sidewalk to conform to the new frontage line, and the bank building will also be cut down. When completed this will be one of the finest hotels in the Southland. There is nothing equal to it in Orange county, both as to size and modern construction. Satisfactory progress is being made on the other new business buildings now in course of construction. Inside finishing is all that remains to be done to the Fisher block. The front of the Odd Fellows building is climbing to... Another mystery is what became of the man who was first on the scene and who called so loudly for help? He was a stranger and was supposed to have been an occupant of the machine, but he suddenly disappeared. The ladies in McClellan's car declare they saw a man tumble backward out of the Ford when it turned turtle. McClellan also states that while trailing the wrecked car he saw two lighted cigar stubs thrown out, one on each side, almost simultaneously, indicating that two men were in the car or one man was smoking two cigars at once. But no one came forward to claim it, consequently the wrecked machine lay in the gutter the next morning without an owner. It was numbered 124441. What, perhaps, caused the driver of the Ford to become frightened and tak such desperate chances was the fact that a mile south of town he ran into and damaged a buggy and did not care to stop and assume the responsibility. In attempting to pass between the buggy and a jitney he caught the vehicle and damaged the top considerably. The buggy was driven by Myron Bond of Olinda. With him was Miss Merle Skinner of this city. Miss Skinner was slightly injured by the collision. As the driver showed no disposition to stop and learn the extent of the damage the jitney driver put on full speed ahead for the purpose of getting his number, but when he caught up with the fugitive he found it lying by the side of the road, its wheels in the air and burning merrily. Shortly afterward the horse hitched to Bond's buggy dashed past without the buggy but still wearing his harness. He was caught later on Los Angeles street and returned to his driver. The wrecked machine evidentally came up from Newport. A number of beer bottles were on board, but those who assisted the injured man did not think he had been drinking to excess. Muhr gave the police the address of his CASE AGAINST STOCKING DISMISSED BY COURT Was Accused of Contributing to Delinquency of Two Anaheim Girls The case against Ralph Stocking charged with contributing to the delinquency of Fern and Opal Smith, was dismissed by Justice Cox Monday after hearing the testimony of the two girls. Stocking was accused of contributing to the delinquency of the girls by taking them from their homes and giving them liquor and keeping them in a vacant, furnished house all night, and until the next day, when they arrived home at about eleven o'clock. The prosecution depended on the fact that the girls had been in Stocking's house on two occasions in the one night, but the girls testified that they entered Stocking's house through the window, each time they went in. Also that Stocking was not in. Alice Heinrich, who was with the girls, also testified to the same effect. WANTS MANZANITA State Forester G. M. Homans is in receipt of a request from the Bengel Box company in Louisville, Kentucky, for information regarding a large and permanent supply of manzanita wood. The material is desired for the manufacture of spinning tops. The company hopes to find a supply of manzanita that grows rather large for a distance of one foot or a foot and a half above the ground. The Bengel Box company represents a capital of $5,000,000. This demand will undoubtedly be met by a California supply, since in many parts of the state the manzanita attains a large size at its base. Madrone is not a satisfactory substitute. The military spirit which appears to be the dominant sentiment throughout the world at present, appears to have taken possession of the Anaheim high school boys. A movement is now on foot for the establishment of an organization among the students which, however, will be only semi-military in its scope. In addition to drills and marches the exercises will include callisthenic and athletic stunts of every sort that tends to strengthen the body and develop the muscles. For the purpose of taking the initial steps toward the organization a group of high school boys met at St. Michael's Guild Tuesday afternoon. After discussing the proposition at some length a committee consisting of Horris Martenet, Foster Chambers, Paul Tedrick and Harold Goodale was appointed to enlist the members and ON HOTEL BERTLY TO BEGIN ECTS EXPECTED TO WEEK AND CONTION RUSHED NTY'S FINEST HOSDON TO REPLACE MERCIAL HOTEL week is ended it is excontract for the new to be erected by John mate of the Commercial er of Center and Lembe let, and the work the old building will Mr. Ziegler is deall the work of conte to Anaheim people, did not let the conas it would probably by an outside firm, work would have been builders. By letting himself it is probable make necessary arrangements for the organization. Another meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 25, at which time the committee will report and further steps taken toward perfecting the club. FROSTLESS BELT FRUIT STILL TAKING LEAD Mother Colony Sweets Get High Prices At New York Monday. Topping the market with the product of its groves in the great eastern cities has become a habit with Anaheim. This has been so frequently happening the last couple of seasons that it creates no surprise, but it is always gratifying to learn that Anaheim fruit still holds its own at the top of the list, and that the frostless belt is justifying all expectations. In New York on Monday a carload of Mother Colony Sweets sold at $3.15 per box. It was shipped by the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Growers' association. The next highest sold for $3.06. The Mother Colony brand is becoming the most popular in the market, not only in New York but in other eastern cities. Anaheimers who have visited the east and middle west report FANS WITNESS A CLASSY BALL GAME MURPHYS DEFEATED AT ANAHEIM PARK SUNDAY IN A SWIFT CONTEST ANHEUSER-BUSCH TEAM FROM LOS ANGELES WILL PLAY LOCALS NEXT SUNDAY Murphy's Comedians carry with them an excellent baseball team. There are nine men in that aggregation who are proficient in the national game, and it has been their custom to lambaste the locals in every town in which the company pitches its tent. They won two easy victories in Anaheim, also—on Friday and Saturday afternoons when only pickup teams were available, but they ran up against a real game Sunday. The game Friday resulted in a score of 6 to 2 victory for Murphy, and it was even worse than that Saturday, the score being 12 to 1 in favor of the comedians. CABBAGE CROP BRINGS HANDSOME RETURNS Pete Nicolas Realizes Well on Product from 80 Acres—Quality Fine This section is famous for raising Valencia oranges and walnuts and other fruits, but when it comes to cabbage we believe this section holds the record. Pete Nicolas is now harvesting the crop off of 80 acres and the cabbage is classed as being among the best. Herman Noll, Mr. Nicolas' financial secretary, is authority for the statement that $12,000 will be realized from the 80-acre patch. Up to Saturday the amount shipped netted the owner $8000 with a third more of the crop yet to come in. Thus it will be seen that money can be made out of the soil if a man understands the business. Two years ago cabbage brought as high as $48 a ton, but that was the figure for only one day, and last year the price ranged low. Good cabbage this year is bringing fewer prices and are proficient in the national game, and it has been their custom to lambaste the locals in every town in which the company pitches its tent. They won two easy victories in Anaheim, also—on Friday and Saturday afternoons when only pickup teams were available, but they ran up against a real game Sunday The game Friday resulted in a score of 6 to 2 victory for Murphy, and it was even worse than that Saturday, the score being 12 to 1 in favor of the comedians, but on Sunday afternoon, with the Anaheim team all answering at roll call it was different, the locals winning by a 6 to 4 score. It was one of the best and most hotly-contested games that has been witnessed in Anaheim this season. The local team has been weeded and strengthened until there is not a weak spot in the lineup, and the boys needed all their strength to win Sunday's game. Had it not been for Tyree's weakening in the fifth when five men got safely across the plate the tale would be a different one. For three innings they battled with nothing to show for their labor but goose eggs, but in the fourth Jerry Rentria got across on an opportune hit by McClain, which was fumbled by the third baseman. Things began to happen in the fifth. Perry loosened up a little and allowed the bases to fill up and a couple of short drives which the infielders appeared uncertain what to do with after they had captured the ball, permitted three runs to be chalked up to the visitors. But Anaheim also, did a little stick work in this inning. Tyree lost his grip and everybody hit the ball, and before the third man was out five more tallies were chalked up. Murphy got another mark in the seventh, making the score 6 to 4, and nobody was able to reach the home plate after that. The line up was as follows: Anaheim—West ss, McClain 3b, Mott 1b, Leake 2b, Swalley c, Volz lf, Kantria cf, Vetter rf, Perry p. Murphy's—Gossel 3b, Tyree p, Dustin c, Benson ss, Slats lf, Hays rf, Cray-bill 2b, Bradley cf, Frank 3b. Perry, Swalley and West are new men, who have just been added to the local line-up, this being their first appearance on the Anaheim diamond. Captain Mott is also a recent acquisition. He has been playing league ball for several years, but has returned to his ranch west of town and will hold down first base during progress is being made by business buildings construction. Inside it remains to be done. The front of the building is climbing to the roof. The frame work for Yungbluth builders directed and it will be all these buildings over street. The Carnegie North Los Angeles building. It is a neat building with commodious store room plant north of city finished. BOYS FORMING A CLUB Military Organization, at Exercise it which appears to sentiment throughout, appears to have of the Anaheim high movement is now on establishment of an oratory the students which, only semi-military in intention to drills and excises will include athletic stunts of evils to strengthen the muscles. of taking the initial organization a group met at St. Michaels afternoon. After opposition at some consisting of Horner Chambers, Paul Goodale was appointed members and the statement that $12,000 will be realized from the 80-acre patch. Up to Saturday the amount shipped netted the owner $8000 with a third more of the crop yet to come in. Thus it will be seen that money can be made out of the soil if a man understands the business. Two years ago cabbage brought as high as $48 a ton, but that was the figure for only one day, and last year the price ranged low. Good cabbage this year is bringing fancy prices and shippers with a good quality on hand are in clover. Mr. Noll shipped a couple of the heads of cabbage back East by parcel post to his father, the quality being considered of the best. The libery section of the Placentia Round Table will give an entertainment at the grammar school auditorium in that town on Saturday evening May 22. The ladies are making big preparations for the event and it promises to be well worth seeing. Program and other particulars will be printed in next week's issue of this paper. Theodore Brothers of the Anaheim Steam Laundry are keeping pace with the procession and rapidly expanding. Once more they have been compelled to enlarge their plant to accommodate increasing business. $2500 worth of new machinery has just been installed which facilitates the work and adds greatly to the efficiency of the plant. Laundry does good work, consequently it is growing. W. A. Wallace has brought suit against H. H. King on a contract in which King agreed to pay $6200 for ten acres at Placentia. There is $4200 due. The court is asked to order King to give a mortgage covering the amount due or to order that the title is vested in Wallace. Melrose & Ames are attorneys for the plaintiff. Murphy's—Gosset 3b, Tyree p, Dustin c, Benson ss, Slats lf, Hays rf, Crayill 2b, Bradley cf, Frank 3b. Perry, Swalley and West are new men, who have just been added to the local line-up, this being their first appearance on the Anaheim diamond Captain Mott is also a recent acquisition. He has been playing league ball for several years, but has returned to his ranch west of town and will hold down first base during the season. Another game will be played with the Murphys tomorrow afternoon, and on Sunday the Anheuser-Busch team of Los Angeles, will come down and try conclusions with Brandonberg's colts. This is said to be a strong aggregation and a splendid game will be witnessed. One week from Sunday the boys will go to Chino and play a return game with the swift bunch of ball players from that city. Two weeks ago the Chinos played here and were defeated by a score of one to nothing. Charley Brandenberg is now the manager of the Anaheim team. It is his intention to put all the players under contract in order to assure a full strength team each Sunday. Jerry Rentria, who played center field owing to the defection of Nichols last Sunday will be retained in that position. Jerry is a classy fielder. He is also a good sticker, and is a jack rabbit on the bases. Two highwaymen held up a Los Angeles-bound electric car on the La Habra line at Los Neltos at 1:35 o'clock Monday morning. B. J. Foss, the conductor, was relieved of $18 and seven passengers were robbed of small sums. M. G. Amlauf and wife left Sunday on a visit to the San Francisco exposition. They traveled north by way of the steamer Yale. They will be absent probably two weeks.
