It is alleged that Greenwood gave the check to Peck & Colby of this city last June. The warrant was issued this week. Charlie Koehler reached his 26th birthday Friday, and when he got home in the evening he found that his wife remembered the circumstances and prepared a surprise for him. She had provided an excellent dinner, and invited Mr. and Mrs. Carl Neff and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Niman to help eat it. The evening was enjoyably spent by the young folks. Albert Garcia, the ten-months-old son of Vito Garcia, was killed by a Santa Fe train at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Vito Garcia, was one of the first men drafted in the war and is now in France. His wife, from whom he had separated, was living with her mother, Mrs. Carnacian Powers. Mrs. Garcia works in the Anaheim bakery leaving the child with its grandmother during her absence from home. Thursday Mrs. Powers wheeled the baby along the Santa Fe right of way and left the buggy standing near the track while she went some distance away to gather grass for rabbits. Seeing a train approaching she rushed toward the baby, but was too late. The handle of the buggy was colse enough to the track to be caught by the locomotive. The little carriage was hurtled into the air and the baby was picked up dead its neck being broken and its skull fractured.

About fifty members helm Elks and their dinner-dance and entwined Jewel City cafe at day evening. A fine by all present. If there are any viability of a well-built bank still standing in the natural channel who have looked out say that had it not the entire stream through and swept the city. With the man other improvements such a stream it is possible it would be diverted bility the rampant told damage were the waters to break out cated. Earl Steadman and Mr. Koehler returned on Saturday from Victorville, where they accompanied Frank Steadman on his trip to that section. The latter will begin his duties as assessor and tax collector of the Victorville Valley Irrigation district. Monday there was filed an answer in the actions brought by Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Walters of Anaheim against the Southern Counties Gas Company. Judgments totaling $26,038 are asked by the plaintiffs, who allege that the gas company is responsible for injuries received by Mrs. Walter. The woman stood near an open gas heater. It is declared by the plaintiff that the gas mains were without governors, with the result that uneven pressure caused a gust of flame to shoot from the heater and caught Mrs. Walter's dress afire. The woman was badly burned. Denials of the allegations of the complaint are made by the defendant, whose attorneys are L. A. West and Hunsaker & Britt. John Kirsch last week sold his five ranch south west of this city to R. J. Barber of Los Angeles, the transaction being handled by the C. B. Berger Co.

The complaint MULLINIX DRUG STORE CHANGES OWNERSHIP Walter Cadman, Pharmacist in the Store, New Proprietor Another business change that was something of a surprise to the people of Anaheim came Tuesday when it was announced that the O. A. Mullinix drug store had changed hands. After conducting the business for more than 12 years Mr. Mullinix has sold the store to Walter Cadman. The stock was invoiced Tuesday and turned over to the new proprietor in the afternoon. Walter Cadman has been connected with the store for nine years. He graduated in pharmacy at Southern California university. He is perfectly familiar with the business of which he is now the owner and announces that he will have a registered pharmacist as a assistant, besides another clerk or two. Walter Cadman, the new proprietor has grown to manhood in Anaheim, and enjoys the confidence of all its people. He is owner of one of the finest drug stores in the county, and we predict for him a successful business career. FIVE HUNDRED PARTY Mrs. J. F. Ahlborn was the hostess at a delightful "500" party on Tuesday afternoon at her home on Hermine street. The heavy downpour of rain in the early afternoon served by contrast to add to the pleasure of those within the cozy reception rooms. The party was in honor of Mrs. Lynn of Chicago, who is Mrs. Ahlborn's cousin. The first prize, a cut glass carving rest, was won by Mrs. Don Parker, the second, a lace boudour cap by Mrs. Wellborn Wallop and the consolation, a glass vase, by Mrs. Falkenstein. A delicious two course luncheon was served at the close of the game. Those invited were, the honor guest, Mrs. ORANGE AND LEMON PICKERS GO OUT ON STRIKE Under Sheriff Iman Reads the Riot Act and Some Return to Work Monday morning a number of orange and lemon pickers who have been working for the associates became dissatisfied when they were told that their wages would be $2.75 day. Some of the pickers quit their jobs and others went on with their work. There was a good deal of discussion among some of the pickers, who were led on by three or four who did most of the talking They went from place to place, and had gathered together about 100 men in an orchard near A. G. Finley's place at Lemon Heights when Under Sheriff Iman and Deputy Shriff Maxwell arrived. The officers told the Mexicans that they could go home or go to work, but that they would have to get out of the orange grove immediately. Iman told the pickers that these are war times, and that men would not be allowed to loaf around and attempt disruption of industries. Some of the Mexicans went home, but most of them were willing to go back to work. The pickers have been raised from $2 a day to $2.25, then $2.50 and in January to $2.75 for a nine hour day. In the explanation that was given to Iman and Maxwell of the situation that developed, it was said that the pickers around Tustlin were asking for $3 a day, saying that $3 a day was being paid at Villa Park, or at some other place. At the other place the same argument was used seeking a raise of wages there. TO EQUALIZE DRAFT Seizing a recent favorable opportunity Senator J. S. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey called up by unanimous consent and passed through the senate a resolution that will tend great- Mr. Geo. McNally, smallest bowler in Anaheim, went to Los Angeles on Saturday and made the largest score in the singles of all the Anaheim bowlers, making an average of 186 in three games. Suit for $35,000 has been brought by Marie Marengo, widow of Louis Marengo against J. C. and William Cordes of this city. The complaint filed by Los Angeles attorneys, alleges that Marengo died of injuries received in January when he was run over at La Habra by an automobile owned by J. C. Cordes and driven by William Cordes. It is alleged that the automobile was being driven on the left side of the street in a careless manner, and that Marengo, who was standing on that side of the street, was struck. John Selinger has commenced the erection of his new residence on East Orangethorpe avenue. Upon its completion he will remove there with his family. A Mexican with a wife and six children applied to Marshal Kellenberger for assistance on Monday. His wife was sick and had been sent to the hospital for treatment. The man is an orange picker, but his wages were not enough to keep them, and furthermore the man had to remain at his home to care for his children. He was given an order on a grocery for a small amount of goods. The county authorities refused to aid, claiming that the family, while resident of Riverside received aid from that county, but this the family denies. The Mexican says he is a hard worker, but is unable to make enough money to support his family. Ben Birenbaum is going in for popcorn and will plant a tract to that crop. Ben keeps posted on agricultural pursuits and is looking forward to reaping quite a harvest in his new venture. Jim Mauerhan came up town Monday evening to see the sights. The team team put up professional ball and errors were as scarce as hen's teeth. The unfortunate slump in the ninth was enough to cause tears to come to the eyes of a stone man, and many fans felt like putting on their war paint. Mrs. C. A. Roberts of Omaha and her daughter, Mrs. E. R. Lynn of Chicago, are spending some weeks in California, as the guests of Mrs. Raymond and Miss Raymond and Mrs. J. F. Ahlborn. Mrs. Roberts is a sister of Mrs. Raymond. Mrs. Lillian Lawrence, her daughter, Miss Mildred Lawrence, and Lawrence Mowry of Los Angeles were week end guests of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Sandilands and Mrs. Robinson. It was rumored at Orange the first of the week that Captain Delbert Brunton had been overcome by gas at Camp Lewis, and that it was at first supposed he would not recover, but physicians succeeded in saving his life. The report was not verified. Mr. and Mrs. Dave Hamler were visiting at San Diego Sunday. City Attorney Ames was in Los Angeles on business Tuesday. Whenever Judge Thomas of Department Two of the superior court has a case on the docket that attracts more than a couple of dozen of people he has to pack up legal paraphernalia and go over and hold court in Department One, where there are more commodious quarters. The smallness of the court room is very inconvenient and is hardly large enough for a court of justice of the peace. These moving ways have a tendency to rankle the judicial poise and equiliruim to say $3 a day, saying that $3 a day was being paid at Villa Park, or at some other place. At the other place the same argument was used seeking a raise of wages there. TO EQUALIZE DRAFT Seizing a recent favorable opportunity Senator J. S. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey called up by unanimous consent and passed through the senate a resolution that will tend greatly to equalize the burdens of the draft. It provides that nothing in the conscription act under which our armies are being raised shall prevent the president from calling into immediate military service any persons of military age, without regard as to how they may have been classified as a result of the questionnaires. One object of the resolution is to relieve communities that have an excessive alien population, as a result of which the draft has fallen very heavily upon the American citizens residing therein. Another beneficial result of the legislation will be the utilization of the services of skilled experts in industry and agriculture who may have been put in one of the lower classifications. WILL LOWER PIPE ON GARDEN GROVE ROAD Water Company to Remove Obstruction to Storm Water At the meeting of the directors of the Anaheim Union Water Co. Saturday a communication from Francis Cuttle relative to the extra expense on the trash remover was received, and the secretary was instructed to notify Mr. Cuttle that this would be taken care of as soon as the machine is working properly. Applications on file for transfers of stock were granted. Report of the Amalgamated Oil Co., St. Helens Petroleum Co., and Hurley Smith Co., for the month of February were received and filed. Communication from A. C. Smith requesting that the pipe line on N. Garden Grove road at first corner south of Orangethorpe be lowered so that the storm water will pass over it was received, and the secretary was instructed to notify Mr. Smith that the line will be 14 inches underground at this point. Director Dwyer reported that the ditch committee had agreed to pay $25 toward a gate for Mr. Dickel on Sycamore street. Jim Mauerhan came up town Monday evening to see the sights. The home team put up professional ball and errors were as scarce as hen's teeth. The unfortunate slump in the ninth was enough to cause tears to come to the eyes of a stone man, and many fans felt like putting on their war paint. About fifty members of the Anaheim Elks and their ladies enjoyed a dinner-dance and entertainment at the Jewel City cafe at Seal Beach Tuesday evening. A fine time is reported by all present. If there are any who doubt the efficiency of a well built dike, all they have to do is to go and take a look at the work put in by the citizens of Richfield and Yorba along the west bank of the river in their immediate section. The dike cost about $6000 and amply withstood the recent flood waters. There was a large stream and it went full tile against this bank and the bank still stands. It was the means of keeping the flood waters in the natural channel. Close observers who have looked over the situation say that had it not been for this dike the entire stream would have cut through and swept to the north of this city. With the many paved roads and other improvements in the path of such a stream it is problematical where it would be diverted and in all probability the rampant river would do untold damage were there enough flood waters to break out at the point indicated. Whenever Judge Thomas of Department Two of the superior court has a case on the docket that attracts more than a couple of dozen of people he has to pack up legal paraphernalia and go over and hold court in Department One, where there are more commodious quarters. The smallness of the court room is very inconvenient and is hardly large enough for a court of a justice of the peace. These moving days have a tendency to rankle the judicial pulse and equilibrium to say the least, and that larger quarters should be provided for. Department 2 admits of no doubt, and were Judge Thomas given a more convenient courtroom he would be truly grateful. The case of Rosa Pressel against Fred Pressel and others has been occupying the attention of the superior court this week. Mrs. Pressel brought suit for $100,000 damages for false arrest on the charge of attempting to kill Pressel by administering poison. Pressel was a very sick man last June and the physician stated that he believed him to be suffering from poison. Thomas Hoag son-in-law of Pressel charged Mrs. Pressel with giving it to him, and swore to a warrant for her arrest. The case was dismissed, however, before it came to trial. Mrs. Pressel testified that her husband confessed to her that he had poisoned himself. Tuesday the damage suit was dismissed against all except Hoag. On Monday the Red Cross shipped 70 hospital shirts, 27 pairs of pajamas and 24 wash cloths. WANTED—Position caring for small ranch. Address F. D., Anaheim Gazette. Communication from A. C. Smith requesting that the pipe line on N. Garden Grove road at first corner south of Orangethorpe be lowered so that the storm water will pass over it was received, and the secretary was instructed to notify Mr. Smith that the line will be 14 inches underground at this point. Director Dwyer reported that the ditch committee had agreed to pay $25 toward a gate for Mr. Dickel on Sycamore street. On motion of Dwyer seconded by Beazley the superintendent was instructed to prepare plans for connecting Caroline avenue pipe line with the main ditch on Palm drive. On motion duly seconded the board agreed to pay one half the cost of a pipe line from the Cajoh canal to Palm Drive through the Tuffree ranch, provided the property owners furnished the company with a right of way for same and took care of the old ditch. On motion duly seconded the president and secretary were authorized to execute a warrant for $250 in favor of Archer & Alexander, first payment on work at P. P. No. 3. On motion duly seconded the question of transformers for P. P. No. 2 was referred to the superintendent with power to act. FOUR-FOUR-CLUB Mr. and Mrs. A. B McCord entertained the Four-Four club on Monday evening at their home on Los Angeles street.

Refreshments were served at the close of the game, after which the prizes which were beautiful pieces of china, were awarded as follows, the first to Mrs. Joe Wagner, the second to Mrs. Sheridan and the third to Mrs. J. W. Cole. PAY BY INSTALLMENTS Many concerns subject to the excess profits tax and doing business on borrowed capital, find themselves unable to pay their taxes before June 15th, the limit of time fixed by law, unless they borrow more money for that purpose. To avoid putting such a sudden burden on the resources of those companies Representative Louis T. McFadden of Pennsylvania has introduced a bill providing that excess profits taxes may be paid in four equal installments, on June 18, August 15 October 15 and December 15, and that the tax for succeeding years may be paid in like manner. In case the taxpayer wishes to pay his assessment earlier than the dates mentioned Mr. McFadden specifically gives him that privilege in the concluding section of the bill. Expert witnesses at the trial against the sewer farm testified that the septic tank is the practical and scientific method of handling sewage, but that our tank is now overtaxed, having been built for a town of only 3000 population. Another tank, similar to the present one, will clarify the situation and the atmosphere, it is claimed. The city trustees have long wanted to double its capacity. E. Seldlitz and family, who have been spending the winter here, left Saturday for their home in Chester Montana. Mr. Seldlitz moved from Anaheim to Montana five years ago, and while he owns a big ranch in that state, he also still owns a 40-acre ranch near Anaheim. He has 100 acres of winter wheat on his Montana farm, and expects to put in a large crop of spring wheat. Mr. Seldlitz says that during the past five years Anaheim has developed into the most beautiful little city he has ever seen. When he makes a comfortable fortune raising wheat he will probably return here. Word comes down from Fresno that the Anahelm bowling team won fourth place in the state tournament held in that city this week. The team going up from here was composed of Schultz, Wisser, Fisher, Dugas, Karan, Efker and Walters. They made a total of 2696 pins. This was pretty good news, but it was accompanied by bad news. The big seven-passenger Jones car in which they traveled, belonging to the Pierce garage, was destroyed in a garage fire Monday night, making it necessary for the boys to return on the train. There is a rumor that the next tournament may be held in Anaheim... Mrs. Rosa Gillet of Jefferson, Wisconsin, accompanied by her little daughter, is visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joachin Luneville. Mrs. Gillet is a niece of Mrs. Luneville.
