HANDSOME SUM COLLECTED BY COMMITTEE BOARD OF TRADE TREASURY AUGMENTED BY TIDY ACQUISITION OF FUNDS UNITED STORM WATER DISTRICT ENCOUNTERS LEGAL ENTANGLEMENT Herman Noll, of the finance committee of the Anaheim board of trade, reported to that body on Monday night that the committee had succeeded in collecting $747, and that they were still engaged in the good work and by the next meeting night he announced the sum would be swelled to $1000, which would then be turned over to the treasurer. Members of the committee received praise for their good work in raising this fund which is to be used for the advancement of the best interests of Anaheim. New members were added to the roster as follows: E. H. Stone, Dr. Lee C. Deming, Ross Bros. W. J. Elliott, Mr. Flory, Dr. Osher, Salt Lake Railway Co., Mr. local attorneys that the district has been legally formed in every way and that the higher courts should appeal be taken would so decide. In the meantime the United Storm Water District remains in statu quo, and protectionists are anxiously awaiting the decision of the appellate court. In justice to Attorneys Ames and Head, who have appeared in court for the district up to this time, it must be stated that these gentlemen have given their services without pay, and now when they will be called to higher courts, some provision should be made to reimburse them. The gentlemen in this city who have taken an active interest in the formation of the district from the beginning, and who firmly believe their efforts will eventually succeed, now stand ready to back up their legal advisers with funds, hopeful that the needed protection from river overflow during unusual and excessive rainfall may be ultimately secured. In reference to the Thursday lunchons it was decided to let those attending the dinner today decide by ballot where the succeeding luncheon is to be held. Many people who are taking an interest in these affairs, which are becoming very popular, believe the Valencia is the only place capable of affording accommodations. Last Thursday's crowd numbered 62, the one previous 75 and together with regular patrons, taxed the place to capacity. Should a smaller cafe be selected for still engaged in the good work and by the next meeting night he announced the sum would be swelled to $1000, which would then be turned over to the treasurer. Members of the committee received praise for their good work in raising this fund which is to be used for the advancement of the best interests of Anaheim. New members were added to the roster as follows: E. H. Stone, Dr. Lee C. Deming, Ross Bros. W. J. Elliott, Mr. Flory, Dr. Osher, Salt Lake Railway Co., Mr. Anderson, John Schumacher, Joe Lautenbach. A letter was received from Frank Tausch, secretary to the Anaheim fire department, thanking the board of trade for the hospitable reception tendered the chiefs of fire departments of various cities of the state who paid a visit to Anaheim recently. Albert Graham, of the committee on public improvements, was granted further time relative to the establishment of public lavatories. Charles W. Pendleton was elected chairman of the committee on entertainment, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of H. E. W. Barnes. F. N. Gibbs, chairman of the river protection district, submitted a report upon the work performed attendant upon the recent trustee election, also showing amounts of bills incurred, which were ordered paid. A vote of thanks was tendered the committee for their labors in carrying the same to a successful conclusion. Mr. Eygabroad reported that the board of trustees of the United Storm Water District had met Monday but as yet are unable to proceed with their labors, owing to legal obstacles which have been encountered. Dist. Atty. West and Attys. Ames and Head of the district had appeared before the Appellate court on Monday, when the writ of review was to be heard, but it was then learned that the case must be submitted on briefs. A delay at least forty days is thus encountered. Mr. Eygabroad further stated that should the appellate court sustain the contention that the district had been illegally formed, the district would cease to exist. The Bixby Land company, the Hellman interests and others, who are fighting the district, contend that the list of names of voters, to whom notices of the election had been sent, had been taken from the 1915-16 assessment list, which lacked several days of being finally completed, affects In reference to the Thursday lunchons it was decided to let those attending the dinner today decide by ballot where the succeeding luncheon is to be held. Many people who are taking an interest in these affairs, which are becoming very popular, believe the Valencia is the only place capable of affording accommodations. Last Thursday's crowd numbered 62, the one previous 75 and together with regular patrons, taxed the place to capacity. Should a smaller cafe be selected for one of the gatherings, when an equal number, or more, guests should attend, the situation would be ludicrous. The Southern Pacific officials are to be guests today, and next Thursday the Santa Fe railway high officials are coming and record crowds are expected. At the next meeting of the board of trade the ladies are to be invited and after the usual business routine has been completed, a reception and dance will be held in the Valencia cafe, which will be arranged for that purpose. For those who care to indulge in them cards will be provided in the board of trade rooms and otherwise the board of trade members will be congenial hosts. A large crowd is anticipated. Upon invitation of Manager Mozart of the New Grand theatre members at the meeting Monday night attended the show at that popular theatre when, "The Fall of a Nation" was witnessed. INDEXES TO REGISTER SOON TO BE PRINTED A Limited Number of Orders for Extra Copies Will be Taken at This Office We shall next week begin the work of printing indexes for the great registers for the third supervisor district, which will include thirty-five voting precincts in the northern portion of Orange county. These will embrace Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia, Buena Park, Orangethorpe, Cypress, La Habra, Brea, Olinda and Yorba Linda. There will be some 8000 names of registered voters in these indexes, and they will afford an accurate means of information for business men throughout this section. Names and addresses will be given in each instance. A limited number of orders will be taken for extra copies of these indexes. Orders must be in by the end of next week in order to insure delivery. While Mr. Landry and made his audience had come out before Hanly talked in a man He delivered a set Mr. Mygabroad further stated that should the appellate court sustain the contention that the district had been illegally formed, the district would cease to exist. The Bixby Land company, the Hellman interests and others, who are fighting the district, contend that the list of names of voters, to whom notices of the election had been sent, had been taken from the 1915-16 assessment list, which lacked several days of being finally completed, affects the legality of the district. They contend the supervisors erred in accepting the list from which the names were subsequently taken. It is the contention of Deputy District Attorney Eden, that since the state supreme court had previously ruled affirmatively upon this point in a case on appeal to that tribunal, that the action of the supervisors in accepting the names as prepared from the incomplete list, which was identical to the assessment roll of the year previous, was proper. Upon this point the legal tangle hinges. Should the appellate court decide the supervisors erred, the district would be defunct, but should the plaintiffs be defeated the case no doubt would be taken to the higher courts. The local attorneys estimate in that event their fees including briefs would be about $1500. As the district at the present time has no funds, means are to be devised to provide for this contingency. It is proposed to have 100 men in the district guarantee this sum, and should the case be appealed, and should the district's formation be upheld, the district could later pay the attorneys, who in turn would reimburse the men who stood sponsor for them. Should the district lose the case would end, and the men giving the security would likewise lose. It is firmly believed by the Park, Orangesthorpe, Cypress, La Habra, Brea, Olinda and Yorba Linda. There will be some 8000 names of registered voters in these indexes, and they will afford an accurate means of information for business men throughout this section. Names and addresses will be given in each instance. A limited number of orders will be taken for extra copies of these indexes. Orders must be in by the end of next week in order to insure delivery. Sealer of Weights and Measures George McPhee swore to a complaint on Monday charging R. J. Finley, driver of an ice wagon, with delivering 23 pounds of ice and charging for 40 pounds. McPhee states he had received a number of complaints from people who suspected that they were not getting as much ice as they were paying for. It developed that some of the wagons have been selling ice by guess. Some of them have no scales upon them at all. McPhee sent word to Finley last week to have scales placed on his wagon at once. Saturday McPhee got a telephone message from J. F. Richards of Orange that he had weighed ice for which Finley tore out of a book 40 cents in coupons, and that there was only about twenty-three pounds of ice in the lump. Richards said he weighed the ice within five minutes after it was delivered. McPhee went to Richards' place, and weighed the ice and the complaint resulted. F. A. Anderson of Orange, was sent to jail for ten days Monday by Judge Cox of Santa Ana. Anderson was driving down North Main street, Santa Ana while intoxicated. He was wabbling to such an extent that citizens stopped him and turned him over to an officer.

Frank Hanly of Indiana, and Ira D. Landrith of Tennessee, candidates for president and vice president on the prohibition ticket. These gentlemen were accompanies. FUNERAL OF MRS. J. B. ROOT HELD FRIDAY AFTERNOON Eastern Star Chapter Assists in Burial of Former Member Funeral of Mrs. May W. Root, wife of J. B. Root, was held at Backs & Terry’s undertaking parlors Friday afternoon, and was attended by a large number of mourning friends. Services were conducted by Rev. Schrock of the First Congregational church, Santa Ana, the remains being interred in Anaheim cemetery. The Eastern Star lodge, of which Mrs. Root was a member, had charge of the services at the cemetery, and buried her according to the ritual of the order. Mrs. Root was a lady who enjoyed the esteem of all who knew her, but ill health during the past few years confined her to her home a great portion of the time. She was born at Huntley, Ill., Dec. 22, 1845. On January 1, 1867, she was married to J. B. Root at Tomah, Wis. Five years ago they came here settling on a ranch near this city, but a year later moved to town. Mrs. Root was the mother of seven children, all of whom, with the husband are still living. The children are Frank C. Root of Oakes, N. D., Mrs. Nellie Scott of Omack, Wash., Mrs. Abbie H. Martin, Spokane, Wash., J. D. Root, Guelph, N. D., Jennie May Ladd, Forbes, N. D., William H. Root, Blythe Calle, A. Hall Blythe. REMINISCENCES OF ANAHEIM’S EARLY DAYS RICHARD MELROSE TELLLS OF OLD TIMES AT BUSINESS MEN’S LUNCHEON THURSDAY BORAD OF TRADE PREPARING FOR DANCE AT VALENCIA CAFE MONDAY, OCT. 9 Sixty persons surrounded the tables at the Valencia cafe and partook of the business men’s luncheon last Thursday. Those who were fortunate enough to be present were given two treats which appeared to be appreciated. One was the excellent lunch provided by the cafe managers, and the other the interesting speech delivered by Richard Melrose who was the orator for the occasion. Mr. Melrose can talk entertainingly on any subject, but he is particularly at home when he talks of “Old Anaheim,” which was the subject of his remarks Thursday. Few people are living who saw Anaheim before he did, as he came lunch-choose at ballycone is rare takethis table of Thursene pre-polar pacility. Used for equal attendance. The table is expectant. A. A. Millis acted as chairman of the meeting and introduced Dan Polling, who acted as master of ceremonies. Mr. Polling made a brief talk outlining the purposes of the tour. He presented Congressman Randall as the only prohibitionist ever elected to congress, and also presented Mr. Edwards as the man whom the voters of this district are going to send to Washington on November 7th. These gentlemen merely recognized the salutation of the audience, neither of them making a speech. Polling then introduced Mr. Landrith who delivered a ten-minute address. He kept his audience in good humor by his witty remarks. He corrected a statement made in certain newspapers that he had formerly belonged to the democratic party. He said he had been a member of that party, but never belonged to it. On six occasions, he said, he had severed his allegiance to the party because it advocated principles he could not endorse. He was born in Texas where everybody is born a democrat, but discovered that it was not necessary for him to remain a democrat. The reason that evils are so prevalent in our government, he declared, was because so many people uttered the Lord's Prayer three hundred and sixty-five days in the year with the exception of election day. On that day they would look down into the pit of Gehenna and say to the evil genius who rules it, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in hell." The speaker also declared that he would not care to live in California which is the only wet state between the north pole and Mexico. While Mr. Landrith is a humorist and made his audience forget that they had come out before breakfast, Gov. Hanley talked in a more serious strain. He delivered a set speech on the evils Tomah, Wis. Five years ago they came here settling on a ranch near this city, but a year later moved to town. Mrs. Root was the mother of seven children, all of whom, with the husband are still living. The children are Frank C. Root of Oakes, N.D., Mrs. Nellie Scott of Omack, Wash., Mrs. Abbie H. Martin, Spokane, Wash., J. D. Root, Guelph, N.D., Jennie May. Ladd, Forbes, N.D., William H. Root, Blythe, Cal., and Anna A. Hall, Fargo, N.D. Only two of the children, Mrs. Martin and W.H. Root, were at her bedside when she died. Besides her husband and children, she leaves twenty grandchildren and one great grandchild, who lives with his parents at Anchorage, Alaska. DEMAND LIGHTER LOADS ON AUTOMOBILE TRUCKS County Supervisors In Conference at San Bernardino Wants to Save The Roads Longer life for Southern California's good roads, to be obtained through legislation requiring lighter loads on automobile trucks traversing the highways, is the hope expressed at an informal conference of County Supervisors at San Bernardino. The conference adjourned without definite action being taken, but at a meeting to be held in the supervisors' rooms, Los Angeles next Friday, it is expected a drastic ordinance will be proposed for adoption by all Southern California counties, to regulate automobile truck loads. The conference was called by the San Beranrdino county supervisors, and was attended by the following: Chairman S. V. Horton and W.J. Kincaid, of the San Bernardino board, Supervisor Hinshaw and Road Commissioner Joyner of Los Angeles county, Supervisors C.D.Hamilton and Karl S.Karilton of Riverside county and Commercial Secretary D.C.Bitler of the El Centro chamber of commerce, representing Imperial county. To the assembled officials was read a draft of an ordinance prepared by District Attorney Spencer M.Marsh of San Diego county, and modeled closely on the lines of the traffic ordinance in effect in Los Angeles county. The supervisors practically agreed that the tonnage permitted for automobile trucks gargled permiable enough to be present were given two treats which appeared to be appreciated. One was the excellent lunch provided by the cafe managers, and the other interesting speech delivered by Richard Melrose who was the orator for the occasion. Mr. Melrose can talk entertainingly on any subject, but he is particularly at home when he talks of "Old Anaheim," which was the subject of his remarks Thursday. Few people are living who saw Anaheim before he did, as he came here first in 1865. It was not until five years later, however, that he settled here as a permanent resident. Dr.F.H.Houck was the toastmaster and introduced the speaker in a brief speech. Mr.Melrose began his talk by saying that he had been told he was at liberty to choose his own subject, provided he avoided religion and politics. Those two subjects were tabooed. He was prepared to make an eloquent address on those questions but as he was forbidden to mention them he would confine himself to talking about Old Anaheim. He first saw Anaheim in 1865. He was a clerk in the government office at Wilmington and came over with a party of soldiers looking for deserters. Even in that early day Anaheim had attractions for outside people, and deserters frequently came here. He returned in 1870, after rambling about the United States, and decided to make this his permanent home. "The town at that time was surrounded by a hedge, which was grown for the purpose of keeping roaming stock out of the vineyards," he said. "Grape growing was the only industry. The only sprinkling our streets ever received was from the juice that trickled through the wagon beds as the luscious grapes were being hauled to the crusher. Once upon a time, moved by a spirit of progress, we decided to pave Center street. All the men volunteered, all the teams were engaged and we raked every stable yard in Anaheim and paved the street with manure. One summer's day, while at work in my office, I heard a cry of fire. Rushing out of doors I found that the pavement of Center street was on fire. In those days we did not dream of such streets as Anaheim boasts of new."

The speaker also declared that he would not care to live in California which is the only wet state between the north pole and Mexico. While Mr. Landrith is a humorist and made his audience forget that they had come out before breakfast, Gov. Hanly talked in a more serious strain. He delivered a set speech on the evils of the liquor traffic, and predicted that within five years there would be a universal prohibition law in the United States. He spoke particularly to the women, and reminded them that for forty-four years the prohibition party had advocated equal suffrage. He advised the drys to vote for J. S. Edwards for congress, not because the republican candidate was unworthy of their support, but because he would be bound by his platform and his party pledges and would stand by his party if sent to congress. Mr. Edwards was not standing on a republican platform and if elected would be a free lance with both the republican and democratic leaders in congress on their knees begging his support. After remaining here half an hour the party left for Santa Ana where a meeting was held, after which their special switched off at Orange for Riverside and San Bernardino counties. W. H. Whalen, superintendent of the Southern Pacific, will be the speaker at the business men's luncheon at the Valencia cafe today. He will be accompanied by Assistant General Manager Campbell, General Freight Agent Clapp and Assistant Superintendent Bowles. Charles Eygabroad will be the toastmaster. Word was received here last week that George A. Hunter a former resident of Anaheim, had died at his home in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Sept. 19. Mr. Hunter formerly owned a ranch on Broad street in this city, but moved to Los Angeles several years ago. The family left numerous warm friends here. Bitler of the El Centro chamber of commerce, representing Imperial county. To the assembled officials was read a draft of an ordinance prepared by District Attorney Spencer M. Marsh of San Diego county, and modeled closely on the lines of the traffic ordinance in effect in Los Angeles county. The supervisors practically agreed that the tonnage permitted for automobile trucks engaged regularly in freight hauling should be materially decreased. Los Angeles and Orange are the only Southern California counties in which ordinances covering this point are in effect. The Los Angeles county ordinance allows fourteen and one-half tons, including the weight of the vehicle. There was extended argument at the meeting among the supervisors on the question of fixing the maximum weight at either eight or ten tons in counties outside of Los Angeles. It was shown that reports have been received by supervisors in San Bernardino and Riverside counties that the heavy trucks from Los Angeles are causing noticeable disintegration of the concrete and macadam highways. An invitation is to be extended to boards of supervisors, city councils and chambers of commerce in the seven Southern California counties to send representatives to the meeting in Los Angeles. There was a time in those early days, said the speaker, when Anaheim did not progress. The people were contented to remain as they were. Progress is the fruit of ambition, and if a man is not selfish and ambitious he will not progress. Mr. Melrose spoke twenty minutes and told many interesting things of the former One summer's day, while at work in my office, I heard a cry of fire. Rushing out of doors I found that the pavement of Center street was on fire. In those days we did not dream of such streets as Anaheim boasts of new. "Travel between Anaheim and Los Angeles, which was the county seat, was mostly on horseback. There were no bridges over the streams, which had to be forded in the rainy season, and the roads were only cowpaths. There were ten-mile road houses along the pathway, however, where travelers could stop for refreshments, also fifteen and twenty mile road houses between them. In 1872 I was called as a member of the grand jury. One of our duties was the investigation of election frauds, and I recollect when the judge charged the jury one of his remarks was: 'Now gentlemen, in your hands is placed the duty of safeguarding 25,000 people.' The jurisdiction of the court and the jury extended from the Tehachepli to San Juan Capitrano, and the judge bpasted that 25,000 people were living in that territory. I was in Los Angeles the day following the massacre of Chinamen. A Chinaman had murdered a white man, and the vigilants rounded up the Celestials and hanged fourteen or fifteen of them. The men who did this were all good men and law abiding citizens. I am casting no reflections on them. They merely executed the Chinamen to vindicate the law and order rule." There was a time in those early days, said the speaker, when Anaheim did not progress. The people were contented to remain as they were. Progress is the fruit of ambition, and if a man is not selfish and ambitious he will not progress. Mr. Melrose spoke twenty minutes and told many interesting things of the former ZETTE.

Mr. Melrose agly on any subicularly at home "Old Anaheim," fact of his remarks sole are living who he did, as he came years in Anaheim and surrounding country. To the young generation and the new comers these old-time stories sound like fairy tales. It is difficult to believe that Southern California has made such marvelous strides during the past quarter of a century. Charles Eygabroad will be toastmaster at the luncheon today. He announced that efforts were being made to secure W. H. Whalen, superintendent of the Southern Pacific, for a speech, and if he could not come some man, probably suggested by him, would be on hand. At any rate a good speaker from abroad would be secured. Secretary Duckworth announced that at the meeting of the board of trade on Monday night, Oct. 9, all members and visitors were requested to bring their wives, as arrangements were making to hold a dance in the dining room of the Valencia at the close of the meeting. The dance will begin at 9:30, and a splendid orchestra has been engaged. PROF. FRANK BURGFELD FACES SERIOUS CHARGE Under Arrest for Practicing Without License, Again Arraigned for Contributing to Delinquency Of a Minor Prof. Frank Burgfeld was arraigned before Judge Howard Thursday charged with practicing medicine with EAST BROADWAY PAVING BEING RUSHED SPREADING CONCRETE BEGAN AT THE EAST STREET END THIS MORNING CONTRACTOR WERDIN EXPECTS TO COMPLETE THE JOB WITHIN THIRTY DAYS Beginning today the L. A. Paving company, with a force of fifty men, started the work of spreading the rock base on East Breadway. The leveling and grading was completed Tuesday. This was an easy job as the street was so level that little dirt had to be removed, and there were no fills of consequence. The work will be rushed as rapidly as possible. Foreman Weinig expects to complete the concrete work within twelve days, and the asphalt surfacing will probably require another week. Within a month the entire job will be completed. The crushed rock for this work comes from the quarries at Azusa. PROF. FRANK BURGFELD FACES SERIOUS CHARGE Under Arrest for Practicing Without License, Again Arraigned for Contributing to Delinquency Of a Minor Prof. Frank Burgfeld was arraigned before Judge Howard Thursday charged with practicing medicine without a license. He was arrested on complaint of Dr. DeVinney, but the state medical board will have charge of the prosecution. It is said the sudden death of Rev. S. J. Luhring, who was treated at the Aileheld bath house, was responsible for the action. The professor was placed under a bond of $500 which he gave, and the case will be tried in justice court. It is reported there are others in Anaheim who may come under the ban of the law for dabbling in the art of healing without proper authority. But that was only the beginning of Prof. Burgfeld's troubles. On Friday he was arrested on a warrant sworn to by Mrs. Caroline Panther, charging him with contributing to the delinquency of her minor daughter, Martha Panther, who is nineteen years of age. He was taken to Santa Ana and arraigned before Justice Cox, who placed him under $500 bond. A number of the professor's friends accompanied him, expecting to sign his bond, but when they learned the nature of the charge they indignantly refused to help him. Burgfeld was taken to the county jail in default of bail, and his preliminary hearing set for October 9. The girl is said to be in a delicate condition. Burgfeld was brought to his bath house on Tuesday afternoon in charge of Deputy Sheriff Cravath in order to treat a patient who asked Sheriff Jackson to permit Burgfeld to come to his bathing establishment for that purpose. He was later taken back to the county jail. FOUR ANAHEIM PEOPLE INJURED IN ACCIDENT J. E. Stockwell Has Leg Broken In Collision With Pole In an automobile accident on the boulevard near Norwalk Monday afternoon J. E. Stockwell, the well known rancher who lives between this city and Placentia, was seriously injured, Tuesday. This was an easy job as the street was so level that little dirt had to be removed, and there were no fills of consequence. The work will be rushed as rapidly as possible. Foreman Weinig expects to complete the concrete work within twelve days, and the asphalt surfacing will probably require another week. Within a month the entire job will be completed. The crushed rock for this work comes from the quarries at Azusa. E. R. Werdin of the L. A. Paving company, who secured this contract has laid most of the paving in Anaheim and the splendid and honest work he has given us heretofore is ample evidence that the East Broadway job will be up to the standard requirements. The contract was taken at a price so low that the contractor will reap little, possibly no profit from it, but property owners are confident the work will be equal to that already executed by him. C. E. Chamberlain, an experienced contractor, will act as inspector. The total job, including the intersections, will cost a little over $24,000, the contract being 11.24 cents per foot. George H. Curtis of Los Angeles, underbid all others for the West Broadway paving, his bid being 10.50 cents per square foot, Mr. Werdin's being 11.24. There is more grading and filling on that throughfare. The total cost, not including the intersections, will be $34,382. Tonight the bids for paving South Philadelphia street will be opened, and it is expected several proposals will be submitted. When these jobs are completed Anaheim will be the best paved town of its class in the South, its streets the envy of all its neighbors and the admiration of all visitors. Mr. Curtis arrived in town with his outfit on Tuesday evening, and made camp at the corner of Lemon and Santa Ana streets. He will begin excavating ground probably today. PROHIBITION ORATOR DRAWS LARGE AUDIENCE Churches Dismiss Congregations to Hear J. Stitt Wilson Sunday Night An audience probably one thousand strong greeted J. Stitt Wilson, the prohibition orator at the open forum east of the Masonic Temple Sunday night. Several of the churches dismissed their congregations without services in order to attend the meeting FOUR ANAHEIM PEOPLE INJURED IN ACCIDENT J. E. Stockwell Has Leg Broken in Collision With Pole In an automobile accident on the boulevard near Norwalk Monday afternoon J. E. Stockwell, the well known rancher who lives between this city and Placentia, was seriously injured, and three other members of the party were more or less hurt. Mr. Stockwell, accompanied by his wife and his son, E. E. Stockwell and wife, was returning home from Los Angeles. When they reached a short curve in the road the car failed to make the turn, running off the pavement and striking a telephone pole. Mr. Stockwell was thrown out one leg was broken and his knee cap split. All the other inmates of the car were seriously bruised, Mrs. Stockwell sustaining a badly injured shoulder. Mr. Stockwell was brought to the sanitarium in this city, where he is now under treatment. Considering his age the accident is a serious one for him. Burglaries of the type that have been going on in this county and in some other near by towns were perpetrated at Rivera Wednesday night. A heavy crowbar secured from the blacksmith shop formed the crude but effective method of entrance to Coward's general store, Rothaermel's market and some other places of business. At no place was any great amount of loot taken. Constable Way of Whittier is of the opinion that the jobs were done by the same gang that has been busy robbing postoffices in Los Angeles and Orange counties for some time past. Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Goff were hosts to the Sans Souci club at their home on Palm street Wednesday evening. The time was spent playing Five Hundred. Mrs. Fred Marsh and Wm. Lake captured the first prizes, and Mrs. E. J. Hartung and Leslie Swope drawing the consolations. The house was decorated with pink roses and ferns. The guests were treated to a three course supper by the hostess.
