PIONEER CITIZEN IS GALLED BY DEATH TIMM J. F. BOEGE PASSES AWAY AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS SATURDAY NIGHT CAME TO ANAHEIM IN 1861, HAS BEEN A RESIDENT OF CITY EVER SINCE Anaheim's oldest citizen, measured by the years of his residence here, passed away at his home on West Center street Saturday night, old age being given as the primary cause of his death. Timm J. F. Boege was one of the few men who could boast that he never was ill a day in his life, and that he had never taken a dose of medicine, and when his remarkable system began to show signs of breaking a few weeks ago he calmly awaited the end. He died Friday night, Sept. 1, in the presence of his wife and ten of friends followed the remains to Los Angeles where the body was turned over to the custodian of the crematory. The ashes were placed in an urn and will be returned to the family. More than two-thirds of Mr. Boege's long and useful life was spent in Anaheim. He came here a young man of 24 when the pioneers were just beginning tohew new homes from the desert surroundings. With indomitable strength, courage and determination he took part in the struggle, and no man did more toward building up the community and creating the prosperous city he saw before his death. Honorable and upright in all his dealings, energetic and faithful to the town of his adoption, he enjoyed the respect of all, and his passing is sincerely mourned by the entire community. MCPHEE ASKS DAMAGES FOR AUTO ACCIDENT Brings Suit for $5160 Against J. D.

SCHOOL ON M SE BOTH ANAHEIM SCHOOLS E IN AT JUNIOR COLLEGE PORTANT A HIGH Monday, September Union High School or College and Schools will open term. Both the city schools will attendance this week have been mailed. The most f the election of the principalship in place of Prof. and accepted the Fullerton Prof. Mr. Boege has, during the greater part of his long life, been one of Anaheim's foremost citizens. He came here 55 years ago, just as the pioneers were beginning to reclaim the land from the desert condition, and his residence here has been continuous since then. He was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany on the 1st of March, 1837. When a young man of 24 he started on a journey around the world, and on landing in San Francisco concluded to come down to Anaheim on a visit to friends who were members of the new colony which had been established here. He landed here early in the fall of 1861, before the country had been developed by those who came before. Satisfied with the conditions he found, and believing in its future possibilities he decided to remain here, and began work as a ranch hand. Shortly afterward he purchased from the Stearns Rancho company a quarter section of land southwest of town which was later divided up and sold, West Anaheim being a portion of it. When the Southern Pacific railroad was contemplating building through this section there was much opposition on the part of the colonists and the people of Anaheim to the building of the road through here, but Mr. Boege favored it and donated forty acres of ground for the West Anaheim station and the right of way. Always a public spirited citizen he forsaw the advantage of the road, and gave his own land in order to secure it. Twenty acres of the land he gave the railroad was a portion of his own ranch, the balance he purchased from other parties. Grape growing and the manufacture of wine was the chief industry in Anaheim when Mr. Boege arrived and he engaged in this pursuit. Nearly every one of the colonists owned a press and turned his own crop of grapes into wine. Of the numerous wineries in operation during those by the years of his residence here, passed away at his home on West Center street Saturday night, old age being given as the primary cause of his death. Timm J. F.

Lavin for Injuries Received Failing to get a satisfactory settlement without resorting to the law, George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, has filed suit against J. D. Lavin for $5160 damages resulting from an automobile accident. Mr. McPhee claims $5000 for damage to his person and suffering he underwent from his injuries, $100 for damages to his automobile, and $60 for loss of time while he was incapacitated. Williams & Rutan are appearing for McPhee, and have filed the suit in superior court. The accident occurred in Anaheim on July 26. McPhee came over on business connected with his office, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, while driving west on Center street on his way to his home in Santa Ana, he was bumped into by Mr. Lavin. Just as McPhee neared the intersection of Center and North Calaudina street, Lavin's car shot out of Claudina and cut the corner on the wrong side of the street. McPhee swerved and shot across Center street in an effort to escape, but Lavin also changed his course and ran him down before he could stop. McPhee's car was overturned, pinning him underneath it, and those who witnessed the accident supposed he was killed. The car was lifted and he was dragged from beneath the wreckage. He refused to go to the hospital, desiring to get to his home as soon as possible. He was placed in an auto and sent to Santa Ana. His doctor discovered that his back was seriously injured, and that he had many severe bruises about his body. In his complaint against Lavin McPhee states that one kidney has been permanently weakened. Th accident came at a time when he was particularly busy testing the scales of the Orange county sugar factories and getting them ready for their campaigns. He was compelled to send to Los Angeles for a substitute to take charge of the office during his incapacity. Mr. McPhee had an extremely narrow escape from death in the accident. The only thing that saved him was that the back of the tonneau of the car caught the curb by a few inches and bore the weight off of his body.

Grape growing and the manufacture of wine was the chief industry in Anaheim when Mr. Boege arrived and he engaged in this pursuit. Nearly every one of the colonists owned a press and turned his own crop of grapes into wine. Of the numerous wineries in operation during those early days only two survive, Mr. Boege's and one other, the ranchers finding citrus and walnut culture more profitable than grape growing. A few years after his arrival here Mr. Boege was married to Miss Olga Luedke. Ten children were born to them, all of whom are living, the widow also surviving him. The children are Mrs. Eda Thomas, Mrs. Mary Stock, Mrs. Anna Jansen, Charles A. Boege, Mrs. Emma Bauer, Max M. Boege, Emile R. Boege, Olga Boege, John R. Boege and Mrs. Clara Hessel. Mr. Boege was one of the founders of the German American bank and has been a director in that institution since it was started. He leaves an estate valued at more than one hundred thousand dollars. The Boege corporation was formed a short time ago under the provisions of which the entire property remains in the hands of the widow, the ten children getting an equal share at her death. Funeral services were held at the family residence on West Center street Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. H. D. Schmelzer of the German Lutheran church conducting the services. The remains were taken to Los Angeles after the service where they were cremated at Evergreen cemetery. The family contemplates the erection of a mausoleum in the Anaheim cemetery where the ashes will be deposited. Besides the family a large number scales of the Orange county sugar factories and getting them ready for their campaigns. He was compelled to send to Los Angeles for a substitute to take charge of the office during his incapacity. Mr. McPhee had an extremely narrow escape from death in the accident. The only thing that saved him was that the back of the tonneau of the car caught the curb by a few inches and bore the weight off of his body. REFERENDUM PETITION AGAINST PROTECTION Two Thousand Names Signed to Paper Holding up Election At 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon a referendum petition secured for the purpose of defeating the orgainzation of the United Storm Water district was filed with County Clerk Williams. This referendum is likely to mean a contest in court. The attorneys for the opponents of the district take the ground that the mere filing of this petition stops all procedure, and that the election of trustees of the district cannot be held. It is understood that attorneys for the district declare that the measure cannot be held up by a referendum proceedings. In order to make the referendum petition effective, the opponents found that at least 1750 names would be needed. The petition that was turned in bore 2000 names. Those opposing the district circulated the petition not only in the district but in various parts of the county. Some of the petitions were put into the hands of solicitors who were paid 10 cents a name for securing signatures. Samuel Kraemer, Jr., of Placentia has returned from an extended visit to New York city and other eastern points of interest. B. Caln, who will work in Spanish school and the Mr. J. S.

HUNDREDS ENJOY THE LABOR DAY BARBECUE CONCORDIA SOCIETY PLAYS HOST TO LARGE CROWD OF VISITORS MONDAY FIDILIA SINGING SOCIETY OF LOS ANGELES HELPS ENTERTAIN THE CROWD Anaheim was an exceedingly quiet town on Monday, all business houses being closed and hundreds of the people going away to spend their holiday, but there was one corner of the town where gala and life abounded. That was at Columbia Gardens where the Concordia society was holding a barbecue and volksfest. Whenever the Concordia announces an entertainment of any character Anaheim people know that something good can be expected, and they always turn out. Hundreds of people, not only from Anaheim but from Los Angeles visited them. Union High School, the Anaheim Junior College and the Anaheim Public Schools will open for the 1916-1917 term. Both the high school and the city schools will have an increase in attendance this year and some changes have been made in the list of teachers. The most important change was the election of Prof. C. R. Prince to the principalship of the high school in place of Prof. Hauck who resigned and accepted the same position at Fullerton. Prof. Prince has been assistant principal of the school for a number of years, and on the resignation of Prof. Walker four years ago he took charge of the school and finished the term as principal. He is an able instructor, is extremely popular with the pupils, and the high standard of the school will be maintained under his direction. Registration at the high school began Tuesday morning and will continue through the week. The office will be open each day this week from nine to twelve o'clock and from two until five. It will be open Saturday evening from seven to nine for the convenience of those students who can not get in during the day. Students are urged to register early in the week. The outlook for a prosperous and profitable year is bright. Registration will considerable exceed the mark of 335 set last year. A new subject which is arousing considerable interest is the course in Stenotypy which will be offered by Miss Lillian Rivers, the new instructor in the commercial department. Stenotypy might be described as machine shorthand. The invention of this machine is of recent date and only a few of the high schools in Southern California are offering instruction in the subject. A heavy registration for the course is expected. Other new teachers this year are Miss Helen J. Sloane, who will have charge of the music department; Miss Grace Willett, who will take the work in elementary English; Miss Gertrude B. Caln, who will have the advanced work in Spanish both in the high school and the Junior College; and Mr. J. S. Malcom, who takes the history department. Mr. Malcom will also have charge of boy's athletics. Following is the faculty of the high school and junior college: Claude R. Prince ... Principal A. C. Hargrave ... Vice Prin. Man. Tr. Gertrude B. Cain ... Spanish J. A. Clayes ... Commercial, Art G. W. Henry AN INTERESTING AUTO TRIP Mr. and Mrs. Frank Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Rockwell and Mrs. E. Dickerson have returned after a delightful trip of 1300 miles of which 200 were over beautiful mountains, making San Francisco headquarters. According to one of the party they motored to all points of interest including the big trees. San Francisco and Oakland are cities of some importance but the intervening towns have nothing on Anaheim, as its climate is of the best. The buildings at Stanford university and Berkeley are fine, but from an artistic standpoint the Anaheim high school is more noticeable as it reminds one of ancient Greece. And hats off to Orange county's good roads. The orange groves around Lindsey and Porterville are good, but nothing to compare with the groves here, as all their fruit must be picked before Dec. 1st. On our arrival Anaheim was much more appreciated than before we left. DEATH OF GEORGE KUCHEL A telephone message was received on Sunday evening from Mrs. Nellie Criss at Escondido stating that she being closed and hundreds of the people going away to spend their holiday, but there was one corner of the town where gale and life abounded. That was at Columbia Gardens where the Concordia society was holding a barbecue and volksfest. Whenever the Concordia announces an entertainment of any character Anaheim people know that something good can be expected, and they always turn out. Hundreds of people, not only from Anaheim but from Los Angeles, visited the gardens, and from 11 a.m. until midnight there was something doing. The barbecued meats were prepared by Dick Branderhoff, Peter Syre and others, all of whom have acquired an enviable reputation for their cookery, and those who partook of the viands Monday are unanimous in the opinion that the reputation is deserved. There was plenty of grub, there was a good variety, and it was cooked to perfection. There are numerous wooden booths in the gardens provided with tables and benches, and in these hundreds of people, men, women and children, gathered and did ample justice to the excellent cookery of the chef and his able assistants. The principal amusement was dancing, although a bowling alley which had been erected on the grounds, proved to be a popular attraction. The affair started at 11 o'clock and the first hour or two was devoted mostly to satisfying the appetites of the hungry crowd, but in the afternoon the amusements began. Schmidt's orchestra furnished music for the dancers in the big pavilion. This orchestra is composed of F. W. Schmidt violinist, Mrs. Harry Felling planist, Alex Huch clarinet, and Harry Felling drums. These musicians were sadly overworked as everybody wanted to dance, and as rapidly as the floor was cleared it filled up again. Of course the Concordia society added to the entertainment by rendering a number of the songs that have made the singers noted in Southern California. The boys need no reinforcements when it comes to singing, but on this occasion they were assisted by the Fidilla society of Los Angeles, which spent the afternoon here and entertained the crowd with several beautiful songs. The Fidilla's enjoyed the afternoon so thoroughly and were overflowing with music to such an extent that after returning from the gardens in the evening sang a number of songs in the heart of B. Cain, who will have the advanced work in Spanish both in the high school and the Junior College; and Mr. J. S. Malcom, who takes the history department. Mr. Malcom will also have charge of boy's athletics. Following is the faculty of the high school and junior college: Claude R. Prince ... Principal A. C. Hargrave ... Vice Prin. Man. Tr. Gertrude B.

J. J. Omelia was a business visitor in town Tuesday. DEATH OF GEORGE KUCHEL A telephone message was received on Sunday evening from Mrs. Nellie Criss at Escondido stating that she was in receipt of a telegram from Fresno bringing the intelligence that her brother, George Kuchel, was killed in the wreck of a motor car in that city on Saturday evening. The young man passed through this city some weeks ago on his motorcycle, going to Stockton. He obtained employment as driver of an auto truck at Fresno, and met an untimely death in the wrecking of his car. He was a young man of excellent qualities, with a bright future before him. He attended school in this city a number of years ago, and made many friends who regret to learn of his passing away. Falkenstein's big department store has been moved across the street. For several days and nights the force was kept busy transferring the stock into the new Cassou building, and the store is now doing business in the new quarters. These new quarters were built especially for Mr. Falkenstein, and everything convenient was embodied in the rooms. It is now one of the most modern, convenient and up-to-date stores in Southern California. Mr. Falkenstein cleared out a large part of his old stock, and has filled the new store up with new goods. G. W. Hamler and wife returned Sunday evening from an outing at Hermosa Beach, and on Monday they entertained a number of friends at a fish dinner. According to the official count made by County Clerk W. B. Williams Saturday, Willis H. Booth carried Orange county over Hiram Johnson by 1616 votes, better than two to one. The total vote for United States Senator was 5849, Booth getting 3004, Johnson 1388, Patton, democrat, 301, Johnson, progressive, 202, Mills, socialist, 104, and Atwood, prohibitionist 350. Joe Burke, for the assembly received 3623 votes on the republican ticket, and 463 on the other tickets. E. W. Freeman of Los Angeles, was in town this week investigating records in the proposed formation of the United Storm Water district. Mr. Freeman represents the Bixby, Hellman and Dan Murphy interests, which oppose organization of the district. Zette. OPONENTS OF PETITION UNITE ON CANDIDATES Two Tickets in the Field for Trustees of Storm Water District Unless the matter is later held up by the referendum petition the final contest over the creation of a storm water district will be fought out at the polls on Tuesday, Sept. 12. The Gazette this week printed the ballots for the election, and the voters within the prescribed boundaries will on Tuesday elect a board of trustees. Three men will be elected, and they will have supreme authority in the matter of constructing the dikes, levying the assessment and controlling the work after its completion. These trustees will appoint three commissioners, who will determine the amount each parcel of land shall pay, but these commissioners must report back to the trustees, who can accept or reject their report. Although no names are printed on the ballot there are two sets of names in the field, one favorable to the district, the other opposed to it. At the meeting of the Anaheim board of trade on Monday, Aug. 28 those favoring the formation of the district endorsed Charles Eygabroad of Anaheim, Wells W. Dungan of Gar- JAP WOMAN ASKS DAMAGES FOR INJURIES MRS. UME MURATA CLAIMS $25,-000 FOR INJURIES RECEIVED A YEAR AGO FILES SUIT IN LOS ANGELES COURT AGAINST TRUSTEE JOHN H. COOK After considering the question for a year, Mrs. Ume Murata, a Japanese lady of Garden Grove, has come to the conclusion that it will require $25,000 to salve the injuries she received when an auto in which she was riding collided with one driven by Trustee John H. Cook. The accident occurred at the intersection of Lincoln avenue and the Garden Grove road on Sunday, September 5, 1915. Mr. Cook and his family were on the way to Santa Monica in a Stutz car. They were traveling down Lincoln avenue, hundreds of the people spend their holiday, corner of the town life abounded. That Gardens where the was holding a bar-att.

Although no names are printed on the ballot there are two sets of names in the field, one favorable to the district, the other opposed to it. At the meeting of the Anaheim board of trade on Monday, Aug. 28 those favoring the formation of the district endorsed Charles Eygabroad of Anaheim, Wells W. Dungan of Garden Grove and Dr. Lee C. Deming of Stanton, for members of the board. These men have all been hard workers in the cause of protection, and if elected will push the work as rapidly as possible. If you favor the district these are the candidates you want to vote for. But the opponents of the plans have also concentrated on three candidates and will work for them on Tuesday. They are L. C. Yeoman of West Anaheim, F. P. Rosselot of Garden Grove and W. J. Cole of Hansen. The ballot has been printed without the names of candidates, but with three blank lines on it. As there were no official nominations there can be no names printed on it, consequently it will be necessary for the voters to write in three names. He can write in whomsoever he pleases, but all voters favoring the district should concentrate on the men chosen by the Anaheim board of trade. The vote should not be scattered. The names of 2400 property owners have been signed to a referendum petition endeavoring to defeat hte project, consequently it is evident the opposition is pretty strong. The opposition ticket announced their position Tuesday. They are opposed to being organized into a district but otherwise favor paying the assessment and making the improvement. What would be the use of spending hundreds of dollars on an improvement located on land over which the district has no legal control and for which no one in particular is responsible or in authority for its care or maintenance for a term of years. The advocates of river protection in its present stage have gone over these questions with the advice of three prominent attorneys and believe with the best interests of northern Orange county at heart that it is expedient to form the district. First: To secure and hold the legal title to the river channel. Second: To raise the necessary a year, Mrs. Ume Murata, a Japanese lady of Garden Grove, has come to the conclusion that it will require $25,000 to salve the injuries she received when an auto in which she was riding collided with one driven by Trustee John H. Cook. The accident occurred at the intersection of Lincoln avenue and the Garden Grove road on Sunday, September 5, 1915. Mr. Cook and his family were on the way to Santa Monica in a Stutz car. They were traveling down Lincoln avenue, and when nearing the intersection of the Garden Grove road a light Flanders car shot across the street. It belonged to J. Yamamata of Garden Grove, and was carrying five people, all of them Japanese. According to Mr. Cook's statement the right of way was his, besides the Jap car was on the wrong side of the road. Cook gave the signal and supposed the driver of the other car understood the rules of the road and would slacken his speed, but he failed to do so. Cook's car struck the Jap machine, knocked it off the paved road and overturned it in the soft earth. Of the five occupants of the Flanders all received bruises, but Mrs. Murata was the only one injured to any extent. She was brought to the hospital wheeer her injuries were treated. Yamamata, the owner of the Garden Grove auto, came in the following day and presented a bill for damages to Mr. Cook, but that gentleman evidently convinced him that Murata, the driver of his car, was entirely responsible for this accident. At any rate he gave up the idea of attempting to collect damages. But while Yamamato gave up the idea of attempting to get damages for his wrecked auto the Muratas still believe they have a claim. On Saturday Mrs. Murata filed suit in superior court of Los Angeles, asking $25,000 for her injuries. She states in her bill of particulars, that she was injured in such a manner that she has been incapacitated from bearing children. She also claims that she has been unable to attend to her household duties since the accident, and that it has cost her much happiness. Her attorneys are Milton M. Cohen and H. L. Gleslea of Los Angeles. As Mr. Murata is not a citizen of the United States the case will probably be transferred to the Federal court. According to the report of Appraisers John N. Anderson, Adolph Thomas and H. A. Dickel appointed to an for which no one in particular is responsible or in authority for its care or maintenance for a term of years. The advocates of river protection in its present stage have gone over these questions with the advice of three prominent attorneys and believe with the best interests of northern Orange county at heart that it is expedient to form the district. First: To secure and hold the legal title to the river channel. Second: To raise the necessary funds, and carry on the work. Third: To maintain the work and keep persons from wilfully, ignorantly or maliciously destroying the same. If you favor protection, vote Tuesday, Sept. 12th, 1916 for: W. W. DUNGAN, Garden Grove. DR. LEE C. DEMING, Stanton, CHAS. EYGABROAD, Anaheim. They Favor River Protection. EBELL NOTES Mrs. Don Parker entertained the Executive Board on Monday afternoon.
