Store LOCAL NOTES Jess Thayer of the aviation school at San Diego, was visiting his parents here a few days the first of the week. B. Young of Placentia, who is in the coast artillery, stationed at San Diego, spent the week end with friends and relatives. Frank Anderson who is in the aviation section of the signal corps, is now stationed at Otay, near the Mexican line, taking the final course of airplane work. Corporal S. W. Wert, who belongs to the North Island aviation corps, came up Saturday on a short visit to friends. He is a brother of Mrs. Fred Schneider. At the last city election Fullerton favored a proposition to pay the city trustees $10 per month. Anaheim has twice voted this down, the people evidently believing that the honor that hedges about a trustee and the pleasure he gets out of the job is sufficient regard for the labor he performs. The Anaheim Elks at their meeting last Wednesday, subscribed for a $500 bond of the Third Liberty loan. This makes a total of $1500 held by the local lodge, which is one of the highest, in proportion to membership of any lodge in the state. John Schaeffer was the only Anaheim boy who entered the competition in the Capistrano hill climb Sunday. He rode a Harley-Davidson, and finished in sixth place. So closely were the leaders bunched that there was only 25 feet between him and the winner. The Chautauqua association will hold a meeting at the board of trade rooms Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock. This will be an important meeting as arrangements for the coming Chautauqua will be made. All signers of the guarantee are requested to attend. Fred Cline, who has been local manager for the Gibbs Lumber Co. ever since Placentia became a town, has been promoted, says the Courier. Last Monday he took charge of the Gibbs yard at Fullerton, the manager of that yard having taken up another line of work. W. A. McWilliams, who has been employed in the Gibbs yard at Anaheim, is now manager at Placentia. His wife will join him here as soon as he finds a vacant house, and he will probably build later. The Clines will continue to live in Placentia until the close of school. A swarm of bees settled on the hanging fringe of the awning in front of Heying's Pharmacy at noon Tuesday, but as a few hundred of them appeared to be restless and uncertain about the location that corner was an extremely unpopular place for a time. Officer Phil Germann, who was appealed to, procured a box, entled the strays into it, and placed the colony under arrest. There were no casualties. The Anaheim Auto Sheet Metal Works, H. Blacker proprietor, was opened up last week in the Bushard building, occupying the room recently vacated by J. L. Gates. Mr. Blacker repairs and rebuilds autos, and does work of a kindred nature. The wedding which was announced to take place at Knights of Pythlas hall last Wednesday evening during a session of the lodge, was pulled off according to schedule. The groom was Clarence Cobb, one of Uncle Sam's boys, belonging to a machine gun company stationed at Exposition Park, The regular motor vehicle schools five neat card treaded to he warden in one of the campProf. Van der Ve conveying thanks directing him to M.C.A.at Cam Antone Hessel week for a visit among his old fraternity with only adopted a resolution continuance of in the schools of J.H.

Miss Martha Schneider, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Justis Schneider, and sister of the Schneider brothers, of the City Market, was married Thursday last to Carl Stevenson of Santa Ana. The wedding took place at Santa Ana, Rev. George Husser performing the ceremony. The bride is one of the well known and popular young ladies of this neighborhood. The groom is one of Orange county's contributions to professional baseball. This year he is catcher for the Tacoma team. He has many friends in this region, who extend congratulations to him. The Bon Marche Suit and Cloak house, which opened up in the Mitchell building two months ago, was closed by creditors Saturday night. This was a branch of the Long Beach house, which was also closed. It is stated that the aggregate of indebtedness is $12,000. Whether or not affairs will be adjusted and the house will reopen for business is not yet known. Cal Lester, candidate for county treasurer was in town last Wednesday meeting old friends. After a few hours spent here he went into the oil region, where he has numerous friends and acquaintances. The wedding which was announced to take place at Knights of Pythias hall last Wednesday evening during a session of the lodge, was pulled off according to schedule. The groom was Clarence Cobb, one of Uncle Sam's boys, belonging to a machine gun company stationed at Exposition Park, San Diego. The bride was Miss Beatrice McFarland of Los Angeles. She is a friend of Major and Mrs. Br T. Beale. Rev. A. B. Markle performed the ceremony at 8:30 o'clock during a recess in the lodge proceedings, a draped American flag being suspended above the couple. The lodge presented the bride with a beautiful piece of cut glass. The groom is expecting orders to go "over there" at any moment. Quite a number of citizens showed up at the meeting of the city trustees Monday evening, when that August body met in special session to turn the reins of government over to the newly elect. The impression prevailed that the new board would immediately get into their working harness, but such was not the case. If one cares to give credence to street rumors it is not at all improbable to believe that some of the fireworks will be touched off the evening of April 25th. Fritz Kluewer showed up the other morning, clean shaven and minus the mustache, which he has cherished for many years. Fritz would not say whether it was on a bet or not, but anyhow many of his friends say he is better looking now. Oh boy! Fred Hudson and family were visiting friends in Pasadena Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Wallace, Mr. and Mrs. A. Bayliss and Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Douglass were in Santa Ana Friday evening attending a Christian Science lecture. Thousand of machines passed through town beginning at 2 a.m. Sunday morning and keeping up the procession until about 10 o'clock. They were all headed for the hill climb at Serra. Strange to relate there was no casualty reported. George Ziegler says some of the guys who run papers talk like washwoman. They say for instance "Bill Jones told us that Sam Smith told him Willie Green's pet hen came off with a settin' of chicks." George says if they have any thing to say why don't they say it and be over with it. Earl Abbey, manager of the Pacific Telephone company, the other day said a person stepped into the telephone booth and put in a call on the long distance for a party in Denver. In just 14 minutes the connection was made and the gentlemen carried on their conversation. Mr. Abbey says when it's service you're looking for, ring him up. The regular monthly meeting of the Loara P. T. A. will meet next Friday, April 19th, at 2:30 p.m. at the school house. This is the primary election day and all members are urged to be present. There will be a good program and speaker, Mrs. Beebe will talk on "Our Children." Come and bring your friends. The manual arts department of the grammar schools recently completed five new tables which they of John Cook was up town the other day accompanied by his wife and family who were on a shopping tour. Mrs. Cook drives a Hudson Super-6, while John contents himself with a Dodge, and some times when he wants to go and come back for sure he trots out his Ford. John says now that the election is all over he is glad of it, and wishes the new board all kinds of good luck and prosperity. John pays about $370 in city taxes every year and all he asks is that the boys go "kinder careful." M. Blacker has opened up a shop in the Bushard building on East Center street next to the water office, where he is prepared to do all kinds of auto sheet metal work, and also is equipped to do fender and radiator work. Mr. Blacker is an artist in his line and is entitled to a share of the public patronage. Mrs. E. F. Nickles entertained a joyful party of sixteen last Thursday evening in honor of Arthur Kemper and her husband, who will shortly join the colors, they being in the next draft. The affair took place at the home of the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Nickles, which had been beautifully decorated with flags and flowers for the occasion. The evening was most pleasantly spent in playing whist and dancing, the prizes being awarded to Mrs. George Jackson and Mr. R. S. Nickles. Later dainty refreshments were served. Those present were Misses Ruth Altnow, Ella Frahm, Connie Glidea, Sadle and Millie Keens, Lucile Fox, Lucile Clanton, Mrs. G. Jackson, Mrs. R. S. Nickles, Arthur Kunper, Tommy Bonnet, Percy Acres, George Jackson, Johny Heitheusen and E. S. Nickles. Melvin Fox of Redlands, formerly of Santa Ana failed to secure an order BLOW AT HARBOR Secretary Whitaker of the board of trade received a letter yesterday from Col. Heuer, the federal engineer of San Francisco, that spreads a wet blanket over the Newport harbor proposition. Col. Heuer states that he will discourage government aid for the project for the reason that much money is being spent on Los Angeles harbor, and it is within easy reaching distance from all the territory that would be served by Newport harbor. His decision, however, is not final, as Orange county can carry the matter before the congressional river and harbor commission, having four weeks' time in which to appeal from his decision. BOND SALES The banks of Anaheim reported bonds in the Third Liberty loan handled up to Saturday night as follows: First National .....$83,100 Anaheim National .....65,750 German American .....39,650 Southern County .....18,000 The board of trade luncheon today will be devoted to the Chautauqua Mr. McNell, a Chautauqua lecturer, will be the speaker. The Knights of Columbus baseball team gave a dance at K.C. hall Wednesday evening. Schmidt & Felling furnished the music for the occasion. The proceeds will be used in purchasing an outfit for the team. O.C. Boyce, who has been manager of the Stewart company's packing house here since its establishment, has resigned, W.H. Johnson taking his place. Boyce will buy fruit and vegetables for an eastern firm. The Anaheim ball team will play The regular monthly meeting of the Loara P. T. A. will meet next Friday, April 19th, at 2:30 p.m. at the school house. This is the primary election day and all members are urged to be present. There will be a good program and speaker, Mrs. Beebe will talk on "Our Children." Come and bring your friends. The manual arts department of the grammar schools recently completed five neat card tables which they offered to he war department for use in one of the camps. A few days ago Prof. Van der Veer received a letter conveying thanks for the tables and directing him to send them to the Y. M. C. A. at Camp Cody, N. M. Antone Hessel left the first of the week for a visit of indefinite length among his old friends at Eau Claire and Manatowoc, Wisconsin. He also visit the northern peninsula of Michigan before returning home. Prof. C. R. Prince last week attended the state convention of high school principals at Oakland. The convention, with only slight opposition, adopted a resolution favoring the discontinuance of the German language in the schools of the state. J. H. Whitaker has received word that his son, Loring, who is a soldier at Camp Lewis, has been a pneumonia victim, but is now recuperating. Mr. and Mrs. Rosenheimer of Kewaskun, Wis., were visitors in town a few days ago, and were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stark and family. Now that the new board of trustees have taken the oath of office, it is said that several persons, who are casting covetous eyes upon some of the city jobs, have run up their lightning rods. The Wednesday Five Hundred club was entertained at the last meeting by Mrs. Leo Sheridan, a beautifully appointed luncheon being served at five o'clock. Miss Nina McClellan made the high score in the games. Walter Little's Chalmers car went on the rampage on West Center street Saturday night, with Walt at the wheel, and Marshal Kellenberger accused him of an indiscretion. When driving along the street for some rea- Latest reports from the sanitarium are to the effect that Eugent Young, who was shot by Ben Elliott at La Habra Wednesday evening, is still alive but slowly sinking, and there is no hope for his recovery. The bullet passed through his lungs and shattered his spine, consequently he is totally paralyzed. His wife and two children are in straightened circumstances, and subscriptions are being taken in La Habra, Los Angeles and elsewhere to assist them. Dr. Zalzer of the county hospital, reports that Elliott's wounds were not serious, and that he will be able to get out in a day or two. Elliott, of course, will be placed under arrest when he leaves the hospital, and his trial promises to be a noted one. Young and his followers broke into his private room by violence after they had been warned to go away, and Young was shot as he stepped through the door which he had forced open by breaking the lock. On the other hand Elliott had emphatically refused to buy a Liberty bond, although he is a man of wealth, and had used seditious language. Young and his companions were bent on making him accept the flag by kissing it, or convict himself of treason. The Mother Colony club will have an entertainment tonight, that will probably be interesting. It is ladies night, and an interesting program has been arranged. Some one stole John Calkin's Ford Saturday night from its parking place down town, while Calkins was about town on business. The police were notified and started a search for the c.i.r. Next morning John got Charlie Carroll's fliver and drove all toward Mrs. George Jackson and Mr. R. S. Nickles. Later dalnty refreshments were served. Those present were Misses Ruth Altnow, Ella Frahm, Connie Gildea, Sadle and Millie Keens, Lucile Fox, Lucile Clanton, Mrs. G. Jackson, Mrs. R. S. Nickles, Arthur Kunper, Tommy Bonnet, Percy Acres, George Jackson, Johny Heithusen and E. S. Nickles. Melvin Fox of Redlands, formerly of Santa Ana, failed to secure an order of court turning over his son to him. The boy, aged 4, has been in charge of St. Catherine's academy at Anaheim. The mother who lives in Santa Ana, fought the habeas corpus proceedings. Right-of-Way for Disused Track Reverts to Original Owners By a judgment rendered by Judge West, title to the old right of way of the Southern Pacific between Ford's ranch on the state highway and West Anaheim goes to the ranchers along the way. This is one of the most important decisions rendered in the superior court in months. Ranchers sued, declaring that they as adjoining property owners were entitled to the land because the railroad no longer used the strip for railroad purposes. The case was one that was hard fought. It took several days for the introduction of evidence last October, and involved many questions of law. The basis of the action goes back to deeds that were given the Southern Pacific when it was getting ready to build its Los Angeles to Santa Ana line in the seventies. Among the reservations of the deed was one that stated that should the right of way then deeded not be used for railroad purposes it should revert to the grantor or his successors. Some fifteen years ago the S.P. decided to establish a depot closer to the city of Anaheim. A new right of way was secured from a point on the present state highway a short distance north of the county hospital, end a new road was built swinging into Anaheim and connecting the old road at West Anaheim. Since then the S.P. has used the old tracks but little. Ranchers and their attorneys, H.C. Head and W.R. Garrett, took the ground that the S.P. had forfeited title because of disuse. In preparing evidence for the court case, some of the ranchers tied wire around the rails and left the wire there for days. It showed no mark of any train pass- Walter Little's Chalmers car went on the rampage on West Center street Saturday night, with Walt at the wheel, and Marshal Kellenberger accused him of an indiscretion. When driving along the street for some reason the car shot diagonally across the highway, and another machine coming into town collided with it. Then two more Fords bumped into that one. There was a flock of them still coming, but only the three became entangled in the mingle. There was a merry mixup for the time being and the police took a hand. Marshal Kellenberger got into the Chalmers with Little and started for the city jail. He got the car turned around, but when he gave it the gun it refused to budge. The marshal is a mechanic and gave the Chalmers every inducement at his command to proceed but there was nothing doing. The marshal then had a Ford hooked onto it and the journey to town was made without further mishap. Upon examination the Chalmers was found to have a broken rear axle, no doubt the cause of all of Little's trouble. The marshal kept the car and about $75 of Little's money for security and the man was allowed to go home where he had to show up at sunrise to go on shift or lose out. Sunday afternoon Little came to town and arranged to see that all got a square deal Monday morning without going into court, he paying all costs and damages, and is now trying to figure out what in Samhill went wrong with his gas wagon to cause all this trouble. The Mother Colony club will have an entertainment tonight, that will probably be interesting. It is ladies night, and an interesting program has been arranged. Some one stole John Calkin's Ford Saturday night from its parking place down town, while Calkins was about town on business. The police were notified and started a search for the car. Next morning John, got Charlie Carroll's fliver and drove all around the side streets, thinking perhaps he would run across his machine, but he failed to find it. Sunday afternoon word came in from Olinda that the car was there, having been abandoned. The police are of opinion that some one took the car, but not with the intention of keeping it. But the offense constitutes a felony just the same, drawing a year in the penitentiary. It is said everybody and his brother from up on the hill were in town Saturday night, but upon roll call all hands gave a good account of themselves, and the supposition is 'that a straggler annexed the jitney to make a getaway and then left it by the roadside. CLASSIFIED NOTICE TO REAL ESTATE DEALERS—This will advise you that my orange ranch northeast of Anaheim is off the market. R. H. Skilles. FOR SALE—Centrifugal water pump, size six; make Gould.

Phone Home 1792. 4-18 There is little question but that the S.P. will take an appeal. That the ranchers will ultimately win is hoped by a good many people who believe that the land will be more productive and kept in a more sightly condition if it is in the hands of the ranchers than if in the hands of the railroad. The ranchers who are winners of portions of the railroad right of way are Richard H. Hanna, E. J. Hughes, E. P. Squires, E. L. Sargent, M. F. Hughes, John Osborn, Joseph-Fiscus, Ida C. Hamilton and Arthur E. Hurley. The strip involved is about two miles long and is 100 feet wide.
