It was the first time many of the women present had ever seen a boxing contest, and many were the sighs and squeals as the padded fist landed with a smack on the jaws of the boxers. The boxing matches were all declared draws by referee Hatfield. Much interest was taken in the races and other contests, and while Anaheim captured its share of the prizes, a number of them went to visitors from other points. Paul Nicolas, by reason of his shape and agility, captured two of them. He was the largest Eagle on the grounds, tipping the beam at somewhere near 300 pounds, thereby capturing a box of excellent cigars donated by Frank Arnold, and in the fat man's race he ambled over the cinder path with such surprising speed that Dean Hasson and Charley Carroll were only in the also ran class. There were many beautiful girls and women on the grounds but in the beauty contest for the cake presented by the Boston bakery, Mrs. Vivian Fox-Melcher easily won.

It consists carried down from which were rich in deposits. He stated that new course of the ranch would entirely separate irrigation and that the cost of line, which would not if the location of the Scully ranch is retail damage would be $2,958 damage to the tract between $5,000 and $7,000 that the new road way benefit the Scully There is a wide dispersion of experts as 100 Yard Dash—Free for All First prize ...

Marshall Crawshaw, Mr. Calkins and others came to the relief of the unfortunate man who was taken to the office of Dr. D. F. Royer for treatment, Dr. A. H. Domann assisting Dr. Royer. Bradley's left arm was badly lacerated and his right breast was torn severely, the physicians being required to take 36 stitches while sewing up the gashes. BUSINESS INCREASE DUE TO WAR Commenting on the revival of business in the steel industry, the basic industry of the country the New York World notes that its mills were working at only about 40 per cent of capacity five months ago. At that time the democrats were vigorously denying the existence of any depression. Now the mills are working at 80 per cent of capacity, and the World remarks: The so-called war orders play only a small part in this revival. Export business is about a fifth of the total industry, and much of that is outside the munitions demand. If the World bases its assertion on export figures, it is utterly fallacious. War orders made Bethlehem Steel jump to 162. That company now has orders for 8,000 field guns from the English war office, and has orders up to date for $100,000,000 worth of material, and more coming. War orders justified Hudson Maxim's statement that every steel and entirely separate irritant and that the cost of line, which would not if the location of the Scully ranch is retained, would be $2,958 damage to the tract of the highway between $5,000 and $600 that the new road will benefit the ScULL. There is a wide dispersion of experts as unirrigated lands in canyon. Thomas J. S., declared in court in week that the new ranch damage his land $200,000 in the 65 acres of land worth more than that. As opposed to the comes a considerable increase and businessmen the ScULL lands are no longer $100 an acre and the acreage will be limited by the new road. Some amusement with District Attorney Evans defendant if he did not land is assessed for or ScULL looked up a bill declared that he did much the land was had not seen an assessee eight years. Riverside county was about 10 acres across vertically, the strip parallel road but making a deed order to avoid a heavier understood that Riverside officials estimated that condemned should be approximately $1,000. ORANGE COUNTY There are a total range and lemon trees ANAHEIM GAZETTE powder company in the country is building additional plants. War orders have given the Pressed Steel Car company a $30,000,000 contract for the delivery of shrapnel shell to Russia. The Carnegie Steel Company has one order for 18,000 tons of steel bars from one company which is engaged in machining shells. Cleveland and Pittsburg firms are figuring on 135,000 tons of steel to be used in the manufacture of shells. Steel bars, rails, pig iron, etc., sold by the steel companies to other manufacturing companies to be made up into munitions of war will not show up as exports. They are the raw material of shrapnel, shell, gun carriages and guns, and all the thunderbolts of war. If the United States continues to be the commissariat of the warring nations, even the peaceful plowshare will be affected by war orders and its sale increased that new lands may be prepared for the sower. It has been estimated that foodstuffs and other war supplies shipped to the allies since the opening of the war aggregate $1,000,000,000, and so far as guns and ammunition are concerned the real shipments have scarcely begun. This entails the movement of huge shipments of freight to the seaboard, and that means large additional orders for steel rails for trackage. They are not exported, but their sale was due to war orders. The efforts of the World, and proponents of the democracy in general, make people believe that the depression in the United States which set in months before the war in Europe commenced, was due to the war, and, on the other hand, to convince them that the revival of industry in the last few months is due to anything but the war, is too ridiculous for serious consideration. FRED HARTUNG WRITES FROM HANOVER Letter Comes Advising Relatives of Death of His Wife May 14 John Hartung received a letter from his brother Fred on Friday evening forwarded from Hanover, Germany, in which the latter states his wife died at her home in that city on May 14. This was the first letter that Mr. Hartung had received from his brother since last October, up to which time the two gentlemen had regularly corresponded for many years. All inquiries regarding his silence remained unanswered, and it was thought the letters were possibly held up by the sensor. The letter states that owing to the critical illness of Mrs. Hartung for many months past it was next to impossible to write, her recovery having been for a long time despaired of Mr. Hartung takes the loss of his wife with keenest sorrow, and in his affliction will have the warm sympathy of his many former friends in this city. Local Notes Miss Paschall is visiting with friends in Oakland, LOCAL PROPERTY INVOLVED IN CONTEST W. E. Cook Brings Action In Superior Court In Estate Valued at $14,000 Arguments in a contest entered in the estate of Jane Boylan Cook, who died on May 26, occupys the attention of the Superior court this week. Mrs. Cook's brother, J. H. Higgins, submitted a letter written to him. This letter is filed as the will. In it the writer states that she is going to be operated upon, and in case of her death she wants her property divided between her father and brothers and sister. W. E. Cook of this city, widower of the deceased, entered a contest with Attorneys West, Koepsel and Eden representing him, alleging that the letter is not a will, in that it contemplated death only from the operation. It was stated by Attorney Eden that Mrs Cook died a month after she returned from the hospital, and not from the operation. If the letter stands as a will, the widower gets nothing from the estate. The brother alleges the estate to be worth $14,000, but there is included a ranch at Anaheim that Cook does not include in a petition filed by him. He puts the value of the estate at $1120. Tipton & Callor represent J. H. Higgins. The case was taken under abvisement by the court. THREE DAY CELEBRATION AT LONG BEACH This year Long Beach will celebrate the third, fourth and fifth of July in a most interesting manner to entertain the large crowds expected for those days. Events of unusual interest have been planned for each day, so that visitors will find each and every day brim full of pleasure. The efforts of the World, and proponents of the democracy in general, to make people believe that the depression in the United States which set in months before the war in Europe commenced, was due to the war, and, on the other hand, to convince them that the revival of industry in the last few months is due to anything but the war, is too ridiculous for serious consideration. FIGHTING FOR HIGHWAY RIGHT THROUGH RANCH Conflicting Testimony as to Value of Land in Riverside County According to testimony taken in the condemnation suit brought by Riverside county against Thomas J. Scully, who has a ranch in the Santa Ana canyon just above the Orange county line, the ranch might be worth anything from $60 to $200 an acre. Orange county is interested in this case for the reason that the suit is to secure a right of way for building a paved road in Riverside county to join the improved Santa Ana canyon road in this county. Further improvement work in the canyon is held back pending the securing of a right of way. That the damage that would be done to the Scully tract by the building of the proposed new county highway across it would total between $5,000 and $6,000 was the statement made by H. Clay Kellogg, civil engineer of Santa Ana, on the witness stand. Kellogg said that he had been employed by Scully to work out an irrigation system for the Scully tract. He stated that the land which it was proposed to irrigate, was good for citrus trees. It consisted of detritus carried down from the mountains which were rich in gypsum and lime deposits. He stated that the proposed new course of the highway crossing the ranch would make necessary an entirely separate irrigation pipe line and that the cost of this new pipe line, which would not be necessary if the location of the road across the Scully ranch is retained, as at present, would be $2,958.90. The total damage to the tract by the new location of the highway ne estimated as between $5,000 and $6,000. He stated that the new road would not in any way benefit the Scully land. There is a wide divergence in the opinion of experts as to the value of Hartung takes the loss of his wife with keenest sorrow, and in his affliction will have the warm sympathy of his many former friends in this city.

The First National Bank of Fullerton got default judgment in Superior Court against Herbert Dyer, who is in San Quentin serving a sentence of 25 years for mistreatment of his step-daughter. The bank sued on a note. Dr. A. H. Dooman, county health officer, declares there are typhoid germs in the water of the irrigation ditches, and advises people to boll it before using. Several cases of typhoid have occurred recently which he attributes to the use of water from the irrigating canals. A complaint was filed, an answer put in, the case tried and judgment entered, all in about twenty minutes Saturday morning. F. E. Wisecup was the plaintiff and John C. and Samuel J. Tuffree as executors of the will of Carolina B. Pittman were the defendants. Sult was to enforce a contract concerning an oil lease, and the case was taken to court in order to secure a court order settling the status of the lease. The Anaheim Amusement company has opened up an employment agency in connection with its business at 116 West Center street. No charge is made, the bureau being conducted THREE DAY CELEBRATION AT LONG BEACH This year Long Beach will celebrate the third, fourth and fifth of July in a most interesting manner to entertain large crowds expected for those days. Events of unusual interest have been planned for each day, so that visitors will find each and every day brim full of pleasure. On Saturday, July 3rd will occur the unveiling of the only Lincoln monument in California. United States and state officials will be present and appropriate speeches will be made by men of note. Patriotic songs will be heard from a chorus of 500 voices. A fleet of U.S. warships and torpedo boats will be in attendance; the President's salute of 21 guns will be fired at the unveiling of the monument. On Sunday a most unusual 4th of July celebration will take place. To demonstrate their protest against war thousands of mothers and children will parade through the streets carrying flags and banners, some of the banners inscribed with such sentiments as We will fight with our brains, not guns, If the pen is mightier than the sword, why use the sword. Parade will be followed by a patriotic program at the auditorium. Free. Monday, the 5th, will be one round of pleasure for all who visit the Queen of beaches, splendid surf and plunge bathing, bowling, fishing, rides of all kinds, dancing, exhibition drills. During the day there will be a portola display of daylight fireworks, and at night one of the most spectacular sights that has ever been staged will take place. To depict the horrors of modern warfare a large 3 deck, 3 masted, full rigged vessel has been purchased. Loaded with inflammable material and large quantities of powder, she will approach the pleasure pier, where she will be attacked and torpedoed by a submarine, setting her on fire. Many explosions will occur when the fire reaches the rigging where numerous bombs will be placed. Three shore batteries will continue the attack until a final shot from the submarine into the powder magazine will sink her. Here you will see all the thrilling sights that are now of daily occurrence in Europe, only here you will watch them with perfect safety. TEXAS HAS GOOD COAL OUTPUT entirely separate irrigation pipe line and that the cost of this new pipe line, which would not be necessary if the location of the road across the Scully ranch is retained, as at present, would be $2,958.90. The total damage to the tract by the new location of the highway no estimated as between $5,000 and $6,000. He stated that the new road would not in any way benefit the Scully land. There is a wide divergence in the opinion of experts as to the value of unirrigated lands in the Santa Ana canyon. Thomas J. Scully, defendant, declared in court in Riverside this week that the new road if built will damage his land $200 an acre and that the 65 acres of land taken would be worth more than that. As opposed to the views of Scully comes a considerable array of real estate and business men who figure that the Scully lands are worth from $60 to $100 an acre and that circumjacent acreage will be materially benefitted by the new road. Some amusement was created when District Attorney Evans asked the defendant if he did not know that his land is assessed for only $4 an acre. Scully looked up a bit surprised and declared that he did not know how much the land was assessed as he had not seen an assessor for six or eight years. Riverside county wants to condemn about 10 acres across the Scully property, the strip parallolling the present road but making a detour of a hill in order to avoid a heavy grade. It is understood that Riverside county officials estimated that the land to be condemned should be bought for approximately $1,000. ORANGE COUNTY'S TREES There are a total of 1,811,387 orange and lemon trees in Orange county. J. Tuffree as executors of the will of Carolina B. Pittman were the defendants. Sult was to enforce a contract concerning an oil lease, and the case was taken to court in order to secure a court order settling the status of the lease. The Anaheim Amusement company has opened up an employment agency in connection with its business at 116 West Center street. No charge is made, the bureau being conducted merely for the benefit of friends and customers. Parties wish to hire help may leave their names and the class of work for which they want help, and the seeker later employment will be put in communication with him. With a blazing lantern on its tail a frightened calf on the S. S. Duntley ranch, near Cypress, dashed into a barn and set it on fire. The barn with six tons of hay, four tons of beet pulp and all contents was destroyed. The calf survived. Mr. Duntley had placed the lantern on the ground and the calf meandering along switched its tail and hooked on. Looking back the calf thought it saw a signal to go ahead and it did. John Hanna was in town on Tuesday afternoon from his walnut ranch at Miraflores, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. H. D. Polhemus. Mr. Hanna reports the walnut crop the best in years, the trees looking splendidly and the nuts being large size. He is hale and hearty in his 85th year, and can tell many a story of reminiscences of his residence here during the past 45 years. He settled here first in 1870, purchasing several sections of land southwest of town. For a number of years he has resided at Miraflores, where he has one of the finest walnut groves in Southern California. Anna Valjean, executrix of the estate of J. E. Valjean, deceased, has filed a first and final account. Among the assets of the estate is the plant of the Plain Dealer, which is appraised at $4500. TEXAS HAS GOOD COAL OUTPUT The amount of coal produced in Texas in 1914, was 2,323,733 short tons, valued at the mines at $3,922,459. The coal production of the state is nearly evenly divided between lignite and bituminous coal, the balance being slightly in favor of the bituminous. With the exception of the production in 1913, the production in 1914 was the largest on record, according to the geological survey. The decreased production of both bituminous coal and lignite in 1914 is attributed to the great increase in the production of petroleum in Texas and Oklahoma, which because of its drop in price, after a record-breaking production, has displaced a considerable amount of coal and lignite as fuel, both on the railroads and in the industries. The coal mines were not entirely free from labor troubles in 1914, as 220 men were on strike during the year with an average of 3 days each of lost time. J. N. Rushton was in Los Angeles Saturday on a business mission. Anna Valjean, executrix of the estate of J. E. Valjean, deceased, has filed a first and final account. Among the assets of the estate is the plant of the Plain Dealer, which is appraised at $4500. THURSDAY, June 24 FOR Hay, Grain, Wood, Coal, Seeds and Ice see Halley & McClellan 209 N.
