PACKING PLANT WILL EXTEND BUILDINGS AFTER THREE MONTHS’ OPERATION IS BEGINNING TO OUTGROW ITS QUARTERS 430 ANIMALS SLAUGHTERED TO SUPPLY THE DEMAND OF CUSTOMERS LAST WEEK Only three month’s time has elapsed since the plant of the Anaheim Beef and Provision company opened up and the first killing was made, but already the proprietors are having plans and specifications prepared for additional buildings. There has been a steady increase in the business of the establishment since the first week of its existence. At present it is just 100 per cent heavier than at the beginning, and still it is increasing. More room is needed, and work on the new buildings will begin in a short time. All the product of this plant is sold motor trucks, and nothing but a paved or macadamized road will long stand the heavy traffic. As this thoroughfare also leads to the sugar factory it is an important road and should be a substantial one. Numerous heavily loaded trucks pass over it every day. MARMALADE FACTORY OPENS IN ANAHEIM Thomas Crawford Making Delicious Preserve From California Oranges A new industry has just been established in Anaheim. It is yet in its infancy, but the possibilities for its advancement are unlimited. It is an orange marmalade which Thomas Crawford is making and putting on the market. Mr. Crawford has been experimenting along this line and has produced an article which the manufacturer claims is certain to become popular when its qualities become known. According to Mr. Crawford this is an absolutely pure orange marmalade, containing nothing but oranges, lemons, cane sugar and water. It is not an orange sugar and water. SEWER ENERGY BY TRUCK ELEVEN THOUSAND SOUTH SIDE, WILL EVER CITIZENS ASK FOR FROM USING FIRE ALARMS Mayor John Cook peeved at the adjournment city trustees last week when the map shows sewer extension waiver Engineer Steward, Walnut street and near of the city we were the plans. Mr. Cook of the city had been frequently by the booms were parcellate habit. He been a member of voted for improvement up and the first killing was made, but already the proprietors are having plans and specifications prepared for additional buildings. There has been a steady increase in the business of the establishment since the first week of its existence. At present it is just 100 per cent heavier than at the beginning, and still it is increasing. More room is needed, and work on the new buildings will begin in a short time. All the product of this plant is sold in the various towns of Orange county, and wherever introduced it has acquired a reputation. There are no Texas long-horns slaughtered at this place. Nothing but high grade animals are purchased, consequently the meat is of the best. All the cattle come from Southern Nevada and Inyo county, California. The animals are shipped here and placed in full feed until they are in perfect condition for the slaughter pen. At present the company has 1200 head of cattle in the beet fields of Orange county, feeding on the beet tops. This is found to be an ideal feed for fattening stock. In addition to this the company has an unlimited order with the Anaheim sugar factory for dried pulp and green silo, which is fed to the cattle in the pens. The Bixby ranch of 8000 acres at Olive is also under lease to the company, as a range for stock cattle. The hogs slaughtered at the plant are all shipped from Idaho and the Imperial valley. Manager Reuther says he could handle all the hogs raised in Orange county, and he thinks the ranchers of the county could profitably raise more. Two hundred hogs per week could be disposed of at present if they could be procured. The kill last week aggregated 80 head of cattle, 50 calves, 100 hogs and 200 sheep. These 430 animals make a prodigious pile of meat, but it is all consumed by Orange county people and they want more of it, consequently the necessity for additional room. All the bi-products of a packing house are being manufactured and disposed, such as sausage, bologna, head cheese, liverwurst, lard, etc. 5000 pounds of sausage is now being made per week. There is also a department in which hams, shoulders, bacon and boiled hams are cured. The influences of the European war are even far-reaching enough to effect one of the products of this plant. The horns from American packing plants have mostly been shipped to Germany orange marmalade which Thomas Crawford is making and putting on the market. Mr. Crawford has been experimenting along this line and has produced an article which the manufacturer claims is certain to become popular when its qualities become known. According to Mr. Crawford this is an absolutely pure orange marmalade, containing nothing but oranges, lemons, cane sugar and water. It is not an orange jam but a genuine marmalade of the very highest quality and finest flavor. There is much of this class of goods consumed in Europe. It is made principally in Spain of inferior fruit and cannot compare with that made of California oranges. The inventor and maker is confident that a splendid market can be built up when the superior quality of the California product becomes known. Mr. Crawford has secured a building on East Adele street where the marmalade is now being manufactured. Speaking of the new industry Mr. Crawford said he was induced to try the venture after seeing so many good oranges eliminated as culls because of slight bleismishes on the skin which precluded their shipment. These are perfectly good oranges, but are rejected by the shippers, because nothing but perfect specimens of fruit can be packed for shipment. The best of these are selected by him for his marmalade. SANTA ANA CANTON IN EXHIBITION DRILL Winner of First Prize at San Diego Will be Here Sept. 18 Anaheim people will have the opportunity of witnessing an excellent drill on the evening of Saturday, Sept. 18. Santa Ana Canton has asked permission to use Claudina street, between Center and Broadway, for the purpose, and the city trustees granted the permission and also gave them the use of the strings of colored Hights with which that block has been illuminated on former occasions. The drill will last an hour, beginning at 8 o'clock. Santa Ana Canton is an excellently drilled body of men. They entered the competitive drill at San Diego some weeks ago and carried off the first prize. They are also entered for a contest at San Francisco. The All the oil products of a packing house are being manufactured and disposed, such as sausage, bologna, head cheese, liverwurst, lard, etc. 5000 pounds of sausage is now being made per week. There is also a department in which hams, shoulders, bacon and boiled hams are cured. The influences of the European war are even far-reaching enough to effect one of the products of this plant. The horns from American packing plants have mostly been shipped to Germany where they are turned into useful articles, but since the beginning of the blockade it has been impossible to get through to German soil with them, consequently they are stored, awaiting the end of the war on the establishment of factories in our own land to work them up. Everything about the animal is utilized, the "innards" being transformed into fertilizer. The plant occupies thirty acres of ground northeast of the sugar factory, most of this being divided into yards where the animals are fed. Twenty-four men are now employed, most of them being experts in the killing and care of meats. The passage of a big steer from a live animal in the slaughter pen to prime beef in the refrigerating rooms is a short shift in the skillful hands of these men. The place is as clean as it is possible to keep it. All the laws of sanitation are observed, and the meats and by-products are delivered fresh and pure from the two big refrigerating rooms to the customers each day. Moreover only animals that are absolutely clean, healthy and in excellent condition are slaughtered. The street running from La Palm avenue to the packing house, which was a bed of sand a few weeks ago, has been graded and oiled by the county. It was in an execrable condition at first, and the heavy truck loads of meat hauled over it daily are again cutting it up. All the live animals and meats are carried over the road in purpose, and the city trustees granted the permission and also gave them the use of the strings of colored Hghts with which that block has been illuminated on former occasions. The drill will last an hour, beginning at 8 o'clock. Santa Ana Canton is an excellently drilled body of men. They entered the competitive drill at San Diego some weeks ago and carried off the first prize. They are also entered for a contest at San Francisco. The local Odd Fellows will play hosts to the visitors on the evening of the maneuveres. An invitation is extended to the public to witness the exhibition. Traffic on that section of Claudina steret will be cut off during the drill, but the sidewalks will be open. WALNUT CROP Concerning the condition of the walnut crop in this county, the Santa Ana expert on that important product, has following to say: Orange county's walnut crop is extremely early this year, and harvesting is just beginning. As anticipated, the nuts are of excellent quality and will show a high cracking test. The shells are smooth, not rough like last year's and are well filled with white meat. The nuts will be a little superior to even the excellent output of last year, except for size. There will be practically no Jumbo, and the percentage of No. 2's will be large. It was the reverse here last season. This fact will probably disappoint the growers on estimated tonage, since it will take many more nuts to weigh a pound. There will also be a good many culls and stained shell or off grade nuts, which the association (it handles the bulk of the crop here) proposes to turn over its culls to the walnut cracker in order to keep them off the market. The meats are good. Judge J. S. Howard the board as a representative Santa Ana Canton of South lodge. This is the first prize in the mill.

Mr. Cook said his section of the city had been ignored so frequently by the board when improvements were parcelled out that it had become a habit. Ever since he had been a member of the board he had voted for improvements in other sections. TRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF WATER IS BEING USED AT PRESENT THE PRESSURE IS NOT SUFFICIENT IN CASE OF FIRE. Monday evening, he said, during the fire on the west side, the pressure was far below the standard required, but if the people would turn off their garden hose and all faucets when the alarm is sounded, conditions would be improved. There is already an ordinance to this effect and the board directed that the order be issued. FAMILY DESERTED FOR SMILES OF AFFINITY JOE FIGUEROA ARRESTED ON COMPLAINT OF WIFE AT HOME OF OTHER WOMAN RELEASED FROM JAIL BECAUSE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE UNABLE TO PROSECUTE BUTTER SWINDLE SPURNED BY DEALER WHOLESALER OFFERS SANTA ANA MERCHANT REDUCTION IN PRICE FOR SHORT WEIGHT ARTICLE SEALER OF WEIGHTS McPHEE WILL SEE TO IT THAT PURCHASERS RECEIVE 16 OUNCES TO POUND Decision of the local township court that the packer is not responsible for shortage in butter will not be accepted by weights and measures officials as authoritative, and retailers who offer butter for sale that falls to come up to the standard of sixteen ounces to the pound may expect trouble. The matter was placed before the weights and measures officials of the state in convention assembled at San Francisco, August 23-24-25 by County Sealer George McPhee of Or when the map showing the proposed sewer extension was presented by City Engineer Steward, and he found that Walnut street and the southwest corner of the city were not included in the plans. Mr. Cook said his section of the city had been ignored so frequently by the board when improvements were parcelled out that it had become a habit. Ever since he had been a member of the board he had voted for improvements in other sections of the city, but the time had arrived for him to balk unless the needs of the southwest section of the city were recognized. "I have cheerfully supported all measures calculated to improve the various sections of the city," said Mr. Cook. "We people on Walnut street have been paying taxes to construct and maintain the advantages the residents in other sections are enjoying, but we never get a look-in at any improvements. We haven't a fire plug in reaching distance of our neighborhood, therefore we are helping maintain an efficient fire department without receiving any protection from it. The balance of the city is enjoying a sewer system while we are still digging cesspools. I will not vote for this proposed extension unless it is modified so as to give the residents on Walnut street and neighboring sections an opportunity to benefit by it." Considering Mr. Cook's complaint just the board directed Mr. Steward to look up the grade on Walnut street and ascertain whether or not it was sufficient to permit of connection with the sewer without the extra expense of pumping. Mr. Steward reported that the grade was ample, consequently he was instructed to add a Walnut street pipe line to the new plans. He was also requested to furnish complete plans for the new system as speedily as possible, and bids will be advertised for as soon as they are completed. The new section calls for 11,000 feet of pipe, and the cost is estimated at a little over $6000. Judge J. S. Howard appeared before the board as a representative of the Santa Ana Canton of the Odd Fellows lodge. This is the Canton which took first prize in the military drill at San Diego some weeks ago, and the company is preparing to go to San Francisco and make an effort to capture another prize at the northern exposition. In the meantime the boys want to come over to Anaheim and give an exhibition drill on home ground. JOE FIGUEROA ARRESTED ON COMPLAINT OF WIFE AT HOME OF OTHER WOMAN RELEASED FROM JAIL BECAUSE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE UNABLE TO PROSECUTE Because of an unusual state of affairs in the district attorney's office at the present time, which makes it impossible to fix a date for a preliminary hearing, Joe Figueroa, who was placed in the city jail on a felony charge last Wednesday night, is once more a free man, and there is a possibility that he may not have to answer for his misdeeds. District Attorney West is now absent on his annual vacation, Deputy A. E. Koepsel is forced to attend at the bedside of his sick wife, who is in a hospital at Los Angeles, and Deputy Walter Eden is experiencing a rush of business which prevents him leaving his office. The amorous affair which landed Figueroa in jail began some months ago. The family of Henry Helmick and the Figueroas were neighbors on West Santa Ana street. Mr. Helmick has been away from home a considerable portion of the time, being engaged in business in the north. A friendship spring up between Figueroa and Mrs. Helmick, and in the eyes of his wife and the neighbors it soon developed into something more than platonic. The neighborhood soon became so hostile that Mrs. Helmick decided to leave it, so she recently moved to 140 Vine street, in a different section of the city. The new address, however, was either pasted in Figueroa's hat or engraved on his memory, as he easily found his way there. Tuesday night of last week Mrs. Figueroa made two complaints to Night Watchman Sackett. Once was early in the evening, when she stated that her husband was at the Helmck house. The other was at four o'clock in the morning. She stated that she had watched the house all night and he was still there. She was advised to go home and await developments. At 2 p.m. next day Officers Kellenberger and Germann raided the house and found Figueroa again there. He was placed under arrest and locked up in a cell. The matter was placed before the weights and measures officials of the state in convention assembled at San Francisco, August 23-24-25 by County Sealer George McPhee, of Orange county, who addressed the convention on the subject of short weight butter, with particular reference to the case recently brought before the local township court where the Armour company figured as the defendant and which was dismissed, notwithstanding the fact that the butter complained of when weighed in court was shown to be nearly three-quarters of an ounce short to the pound. McPhee showed that according to the sworn admission of several witnesses for the defense in the Anaheim case, the packers are permitted to put sixteen per cent of water and three per cent salt in their butter and argued that with nineteen per cent clear profit to start with, they should make it possible for the ultimate consumer to get full weight and urged the head of the state department of weights and measures to promulgate an order establishing the standard weight of butter at sixteen ounces to the pound with absolutely no allowance for shrinkage. The showing was also made by Sealer McPhee that since his appointment to office some two years ago much butter has been offered for sale that was from half an ounce to two and one-half ounces short per pound, and this he gave not as an offhand statement but as a court record, and his showing carried such weight that a rigid ruling to be as rigidly enforced may soon be expected establishing a standard of sixteen ounces to the pound for butter when it is handed over the counter to the consumer, regardless of what it may or may not weigh when it leaves the hands of the packers. Sealer McPhee gave the convention results of an off hand calculation of the profits to the packers and the resultant loss to the consumer by allowing the former to sell butter even one-half ounce shortto the pound, the yearly total, based on figures from the state dairy bureau's report for last year amounting to the enormous Judge J. S. Howard appeared before the board as representative of the Santa Ana Canton of the Odd Fellows lodge. This is the Canton which took first prize in the military drill at San Diego some weeks ago, and the company is preparing to go to San Francisco and make an effort to capture another prize at the northern exposition. In the meantime the boys want to come over to Anaheim and give an exhibition drill on our paved streets. The Judge asked permission to rope off Claudina street from Center to Broadway for a couple of hours on the evening of Saturday, Sept. 18, and turn that block over to the military company. The permission was not only granted but the colored lights, which have hitherto been used in illuminating that street, were turned over to him. The Santa Ana Canton is one of the best drilled companies in the South, and the exhibition will be worth seeing. Street Commissioner Sackett presented a petition from John Ziegler, asking permission to run a sewer connection along the parking on the Lemon street side of the Valencia hotel in order to join the sewer in the alley in the rear of the hotel. A lot between the hotel property and the alley is owned by Pressel and Bennercheld, and they ask $200 for permission to cross it. To communicate with the sewer on Lemon street would necessitate tearing up the pavement, consequently it is more desirable to run back to the alley if possible. City Engineer Steward was directed to see the interested parties and secure a right-of-way through the lot if possible, otherwise Mr. Ziegler's petition will probably be granted. Superintendent Adams of the power house requested that an order be issued requiring people to shut off all water faucets when the fire alarm sounds. Owing to conditions at the power house and the fact that an ex- Night Watchman Sackett. One was early in the evening, when she stated that her husband was at the Helmick house. The other was at four o'clock in the morning. She stated that she had watched the house all night and he was still there. She was advised to go home and await developments. At 2 p.m. next day Officers Kellenberger and Germann raided the house and found Figueroa again there. He was placed under arrest and locked up in a cell. Deputy District Attorney Koepsel agreed to be on hand the following day to handle the state's side of the case in the preliminary examination of Figueroa, but found it impossible to fulfill his appointment, consequently the prisoner was remanded to his cell. Mrs. Figueroa was present at the court room at the hour fixed armed with he wrath of a woman scorned, and prepared to wreak vengeance for the neglect of herself and her four children. A number of neighbor women were also on hand to support the injured wife and relate the things they had seen. Figueroa is a cement contractor. He has four children, and his wife charges that he has neglected them and lavished his money on the other woman. His affinity denies the charges in toto, and declares it is an outrage that an honest woman should be subjected to the publicity and the criticism that has been heaped upon her. Figueroa may be again arrested and the matter brought into the courts. R. E. Corcoran, representing the Pioneer Paper company of Los Angeles, was in town Tuesday, on his way to Santa Ana. Mr. Corcoran reports business looking up, the outlook being brighter than a few months ago. Mr. Corcoran visited with his family and later proceeded on his business engagements at the county seat. The practice of giving short measure cords of wood will be put an end to, also, if Sealer McPhee can encompass it, as the law now requires that the seller shall give the purchaser full measure in wood at the rate of 128 cubic feet to the cord, the official ruling by the state department of weights and measures recently promulgated establishing the cord measure as follows: The cord is hereby established as a standard measure. Its dimen- SWINDLE NED BY DEALER OFFERS SANTA ANNT REDUCTION FOR SHORT ARTICLE WEIGHTS McPHEE DID IT THAT PURRECEIVE 16 TO POUND local township locker is not responsible in butter will not weights and measures heritative, and retailutter for sale that to the standard of the pound may ex- placed before the measures officials of the on assembled at August 23-24-25 by George McPhee of Or. sions shall be eight feet long, and four feet wide, and four feet high, and shall contain 128 cubic feet, well stowed and packed." The old California cord made of three tiers, much of which was generally nearer eight inches than twelve inches in length, gave the consumer somewhere between half and three-quarters of the true standard cord and this practice was so firmly established that it will be something of a shock to wood dealers to be compelled to give the full measurement. That this difference amounts to considerable is illustrated by the case of a Garden Grove man, Matt Sweetzer, who recently undertook the work of manufacturing 125 acres of gum trees into stove wood, the actual labor to be performed by Mexican wood choppers who started in to cut the wood, according to the old system and had manufactured nearly 100 cords before Mr. Sweetzer discovered that the recent rulling by the state department called for a cord of 128 cubic feet. Then Sweetzer called Sealer McPhee into conference and learned that his wood as cut and piled would be about five per cent short of the law's requirement, or about 40 cents on each cord, and on satisfying himself that this was the case he at once gave orders to have the wood cut the proper length. MAYOR COOK IN AUTOMOBILE SMASH-UP COLLIDES WITH JAP-DRIVEN CAR AT CROSSING OF LINCOLN AVE. AND GARDEN GROVE ROAD AUTO IS WRECKED AND SOME OF THE OCCUPANTS RECEIVE SEVERE INJURIES Mayor J. H. Cook was mixed up in an automobile accident Sunday morning and emerged with a damaged gar, but the other fellow got the worst of it. Cook and his family were on their way to Santa Monica in his big Stutz touring car. They were traveling down Lincoln avenue, and when nearing the Garden Grove road observed a car drawing near on that thoroughfare from the south. Cook, on the county road, had the right of way. He gave the signal on his horn, and expected the driver of the other is placed before the measures officials of the union assembled at August 23-24-25 by George McPhee, of Orford addressed the conjecture of short weight circular reference to brought before the court where the Armed as the defended dismissed, not fact that the butt when weighed in to be nearly three inch short to the showed that accord admission of severance the defense in the packers are permit per cent of water salt in their butt with nineteen offit to start with, it possible for the car to get full weight and of the state deeds and measures to alter establishing the butter at sixteen and with absolutely shrinkage.

Then Sweetzer called Sealer McPhee into conference and learned that his wood as cut and piled would be about five per cent short of the law's requirement, or about 40 cents on each cord, and on satisfying himself that this was the case he at once gave orders to have the wood cut the proper length, with the result that wood bought from Sweetzer in future will contain full measure of 128 cubic feet to the cord. Mr. Sweetzer's contract includes the removing of the stumps after the wood has been manufactured, and this ne proposes to do by a scientific method, his plan being to bore holes in each stump and introduce some chemical compound that is guaranteed to hasten decay of the roots so rapidly that they may be easily removed in from four to six months. Incidentally the labor of this boring will be lessened by the use of electric power, and an electrically driven drill will be used that will do the work of ten men. The most important point however is that anyone buying wood from Matt Sweetzer in future will get all that he pays for. EBELL SOCIETY The Ebell held its first regular meeting for the year 1915-16 on last Saturday afternoon. The vacation experiences that were given in response to roll call were very interesting, as were also the short talks given by Mrs. Harry Dyer and Mrs. Ida Dutton. The instrumental solos by Miss Steadman were well received. This year the club has a parliamentarian, Mrs. Ahlborn, having been appointed to fill that position. Mrs. Terry, the president, entertained the Executive Board at her home on Monday. The musical section met with Mrs. Parker yesterday afternoon. The Domestic Science section will meet with Mrs. Nagel tomorrow afternoon. S.T MICHAEL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH Services, Sunday, September 12th, the fifteenth Sunday after Trinity, at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, corner Emily and Adela streets., Rev. in an automobile accident Sunday morning and emerged with a damaged car, but the other fellow got the worst of it. Cook and his family were on their way to Santa Monica in his big Stutz touring car. They were traveling down Lincoln avenue, and when nearing the Garden Grove road observed a car drawing near on that thoroughfare from the south. Cook, on the county road, had the right of way. He gave signal on his horn, and expected the driver of the other car to recognize his right and slacken speed. Instead the car came on at a gait perilously near the speed limit. Seeing that a collision was imminent Cook applied his brake and succeeded in reducing his own speed before the crash came. As it was he struck the other car broadside and bowled it over into the soft earth by the side of the pavement. The wrecked car, a light Flanders, belonged to J. Yamamato, of Garden Grove, and was loaded with five Japanese. Fortunately it was on the wrong side of the road, and was knocked off the pavement into the sand. Had it been on the right side and the collision occurred before Cook's auto slackened speed, it would have been smashed into splinters and some of its occupants probably killed on the hard pavement. Two or three of the occupants of the Flanders were considerably bruised and cut, Mrs. S. Murata being the most seriously injured. She was taken to the sanitarium where it was ascertained her injuries consisted of a broken pelvis bone, besides cuts and bruises. Cook's car was able to come into town under its own steam, but the Jap machine had to be towed in on a truss. The owner of the wrecked auto on Monday came in with a constable to negotiate a damage claim against Mr. Cook, but was informed by that gentleman that if any damages were paid the Jap would do the paying, as his car was wholly responsible for the accident. He advised that each man pay for his own repairs and let the matter drop. The Jap took his advice. Cook's car was taken to the P. J. Weisel garage where it is undergoing repairs. Its radiator was destroyed, one wheel wrecked and other damage was sustained; the total cost of repairs aggregating in the neighborhood of $200. The Jap machine was turned over to H. W. Braden who is looking over its shattered remains and endeavoring to make it a good S.T MICHAEL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH Services, Sunday, September 12th, the fifteenth Sunday after Trinity, at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, corner Emily and Adele streets., Rev. David Todd Gillmor, rector, will be: 9:45 a.m. Bible school and adults classes. 11:00 o'clock, morning prayer and special sermon by the rector for the Elks of Orange county, who will visit the church in a body. 7:30 p.m. evening prayer and address. A cordial welcome awaits you at all services. The Board of supervisors of Orange county on Monday fixed the county tax rate for the coming year at $1.95 for each $100 of assessed valuation, apportioned as follows; County general, 55 cents; salary, 11 cents; hospital 14 cents; interest and sinking, 17 cents; advertising .03 cents; county school rate, 25 cents, county high school rate, 20 cents; county park, .003 cents; forestry, .015 cents; bridge .052 cents; county good roads .03 cents; roads, 40 cents; a total of $1.95 for outside cities and $1.55 for inside cities. Last year's total rate for outside cities was $1.45 and for inside cities, $1.05. A. J. Ryan, the Long Beach man who recently purchased the Pacific Coast creamery building at Buena Park, has moved his family to that town and declares his intention of establishing the largest fruit and vegetable cannery on the coast. This will be a boost for that growing town, and also a benefit to Orange county. The Park people are again agitating the question of a bank and there is good prospect that it will be landed. ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF NON-SUPPORT OF CHILD B. J. Lange Taken to Los Angeles Thursday by Sheriff's Officer Deputy Marshal Sackett arrested B. J. Lange Wednesday evening on information received from the sheriff's office at Los Angeles, and locked him up in the city jail to await the arrival of an officer from the city. Lange was arrested while on his way to the sugar factory, where he is working on the night shift. On Thursday Deputy Sheriff Lupton came down from Los Angeles and took the prisoner to that city, stating that the charge against him was non support of a minor child. Lange returned to Anaheim Saturday and was back on the job at the sugar factory that night. The matter was amicably adjusted. Lange has resided in Anaheim for a year past, and bears a good reputation. He is industrious, working when he could get it, and is not inclined to dissipate. His friends think the charge against him may have been without just cause.
