There is a joint of the long vine, Frank Tausch has taken a position in the Yungbluth gent's furnishing department. A big spider dropped from a bunch of bananas in a store the other day and a clerk lost no time in getting it out into the gutter where it was dispatched. The young man observed that it would do no one any good to have been bitten by the webspinner. Leonard Hessel was a business visitor in Los Angeles Tuesday. Tom Cone, of Orange, was in town Monday on a business mission. Tom says the rain was of great benefit. Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Braden, of Los Angeles, visited in town Sunday, guests of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Schleuter. Mr. Braden has a machinist position at the San Pedro shipyards. Thanksgiving dinner will probably be a costly one this year if people adhere to the time-honored custom of consuming turkey, plum pudding and mince pie. Market men predict that the national bird will bring 50 cents a pound. S. H. Ayres, of Garden Grove, was transacting business in this city Saturday. Vic LaMont, Marion Eden and Ernest Davis went up to Little Bear o na fishing excursion Saturday. They returned Sunday evening with a fine lot of fish. Charles Linebarger, a well known business man here for many years, was a visitor in Fullerton this week. He has been ranching in the north for some time but has moved his family back to Los Angeles for the present, but may locate in Fullerton again soon. He has been away three years and says there have been many improve- There is a strong possibility that the Newport Beach glass plant will be reopened and the manufacture of glass resumed, if the plans of the men who are contemplating the move materialize. The location and facilities offered have been inspected, and the promoters are well pleased with the general appearance of things, although they have not yet reached a decision in regard to locating there. B. J. Dresser sustained a broken shoulder blade and a number of bruises when his auto was hit by a street car in Los Angeles last Thursday. The machine was driven by his son, Bernard. The young man was uninjured but Mr. Dresser was picked up unconscious and taken to a hospital. He was brought to his home Friday. The Crawford Marmalade Company has moved its general offices to Los Angeles, but President Crawford will continue to reside in Anaheim. Work will shortly begin on an extensive addition to the plant in order to supply increasing demands for the products. Judge West rendered a decision Monday finding that representations were made by a real estate agent, H. L. Stanford, so far from the facts in the case that the purchaser of a piece of land was entitled to get his money Jonas Thowson, of Los Angeles, sued William Veit, of Philadelphia, to compel Veit to make payments on 10.55 acres of land in the northwestern part of the county. Veit answered and asked judgment for $1480 which he had paid. He said that Stanford represented that the land was fine for English walnuts. Veit, an easterner, fancied he wanted to raise English walnuts, and he bought. He was told the land was worth $800 to $1000 an acre, and after he got it he found it was heavy and full of alkali, unfit for walnuts and worth no more than $200 an acre. Veit, under the judgment, will get back what he has paid on the contract. When January 1, 1919 will be few changes in the court house. But on nounced On that day Clerk J. M. Backs will be clerk, to which position elected. He stated that point A. L. Hitchcock, or Miss Myrtle Meyer, of deputies, and that he Earl R. Abbey, of Anahe place made vacant by Bement. Abbey is well northern part of the city thoroughly competent. The rare spectacle of spout sweeping southwest Point Dume was afforded Santa Monica bay residence Wednesday afternoon. Water, extending from the clouds, broke opposingica Canyon with a noise heard for miles. The water the waterspout swept Monica Canyon, tearing cottages and uprooting it was the first spectacle this coast in several years. The patriotic America started Christmas showthe Council of Nationsmade the request in conservation and it seen proper that conservation served wherever possiblepers will properly regularly request as an opportunity to be patron saving man power, by light (by doing all holiday regular hours), an avoid a last hour rushwhich is a strain on thea strain on the over-workical force of the stores. Charles Linebarger, a well known business man here for many years, was a visitor in Fullerton this week. He has been ranching in the north for some time but has moved his family back to Los Angeles for the present, but may locate in Fullerton again soon. He has been away three years and says there have been many improvements in and around Fullerton during the past few years. O. A. Mullinix has purchased a 9-acre Valencia grove, 7-year-old trees, of G. D. Wilson at Villa Park. Mr. Mullinix will continue to make his residence in Anaheim. Capt. Delbert Brunton writes to his wife that he was in the midst of the fighting in France, having been under fire for twelve days at a stretch, but came through it unscratched. Frank Machleb, who has been working on war contracts with a saddlery firm in San Francisco, has returned to his home here. General and specific denials marked two answers filed in the office of the country clerk Friday. Benjamin W. Elliott, who is awaiting settlement of some of his affairs before he goes to San Quentin to begin serving a term for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill Constable Ashley of La Habra, through Attorney Clyde Bishop has answered the suit for $50,000 damages brought by the widow and children of Eugene Young, who died from a bullet wound inflicted by Elliott. Elliott denies that the shooting was unlawful. Monday afternoon the new grand jury was selected in Judge Thomas' court. L. H. Wallace, of Newport Beach, was appointed foreman. The nineteen men selected as grand jurors are: L. H. Wallace, Newport Beach; W. Dean Johnston, Westminster; E. E. French, Huntington Beach; H. H. Hale, Placentia; Carl A. Sgamans, Yorba Linda; G. D. Toothacher, Orange; Hugh M. Day, Tustin; H. H. Reeves, A. B. Gardner, Mit Phillips, E. E. Cooley; F. J. Adams, Santa Ana; Chas. E. Jones, Anaheim; J. W. Nelson, Charles Gamill, A. C. Mosher, H. M. Palmer and A. G. Mitchell. Joseph Hessel has disposed of his interest in the Eagle Bar to his cousin, Leonard Hessel, who will conduct the premises until the first of the year. Joe is going to devote his energies to horticultural pursuits and make two blades grow where only one grew before. The end of the war found 3,764,677 Americans in the army. Of this great number 2,200,000 were on or near the fighting front in France, Italy and Russia, and the remainder under arms in American cantonments and training camps. Orange county men will be the battery of heavy artillery in this county a cage by Captain Smyth their oars and don't light (by doing all hollow regular hours), an officer avoid a last hour rush which is a strain on the overwork force of the stores. Tuesday there was a mess in which J. F. Neil found himself a few days house & Lester Company Angeles, sued him for $814 Sheriff Cravath attachble belonging to Neilsa a garage at Anaheim into the place and waits his car when he was attached property was signed Tuesday morning afterward peace was made the county quit firing and defendant in the case and a way out for pay settling the account course, thereupon the interest in prosecuting the criminal action, and was dismissed, accordi Local Notes Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Winney last week received a letter from their son, Arthur Lou, written October 14, announcing that he had stopped a piece of Hun schrapnel, and that he was in a hospital somewhere in France undergoing repairs. His wound was not very serious, it seems. At any rate he was so far convalescent that he was able to write. Lou is with the Third Hospital corps, and was recently promoted from third to second pharmacists' mate. Anaheim boys are all making good in the army. The county health officers reported that Mexicans are continuing with dances around among their homes in spite of the flu situation. An emergency ordinance was passed Wednesday by the board of supervisors making the holding of such dances during time of epidemic a misdemeanor. Sheriff Jackson and Under Sheriff Iman were in town Sunday morning investigating the wholesale theft of wet goods from Hessel's storeroom. The officers incline to the belief that the theft was committed by some one engaged in bootlegging in the upper valley, where it is said blind tigers are plentiful. As yet no arrests have been made. Victor Schumacher brought to this office, says the Fullerton Tribune, samples of the most prolific bean to be found in this or any other country. It is known as the seven-year bean. Growing year after year it is never injured by the frost or cold weather. He had one vine on his place 16 feet in length. There is a pod at every joint of the long vine, making it, as City Health Officer Truxaw reports that the flu situation is sufficiently under control here to warrant lifting the closing ban. The restriction order is cancelled this morning, and Anaheim business will return to its normal state. Schools will probably resume their work Monday and the churches be open Sunday. H. A. Dickel reports 1.44 inches of rainfall during the storm that began Monday morning, making 3.25 for the season. A year ago at this date less than half an inch had fallen. The will of Walter M. Mickle, Sr., who died on November 13, has been filed for probate by his son, to whom the estate, valued at $15,000, will go. Anaheim's policemen have laid aside their olive drab and donned their blue uniform. This is a sure indication that winter is near. People who carry flowers to the cemetery to place upon the graves of their dear departed ones, feel shocked at the untidy condition in which they find the premises. The roadway leading up to the memorial archway at the entrance should be repaired. It should at least be graded and oiled. Weeds align the sides of the road, which is full of chuckholes. It ought to be leveled and made passable. Entering the sacred grounds one is grieved to see the place as it is. There surely must be enough men and women with means living here who could donate enough funds to beautify the grounds, and provide water for the upkeep of the premises and freshen the beautiful flowers that have been placed upon the graves of those who have passed from this life. Personal Mention Mr. and Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Ella D. Williams were visiting in Fullerton Sunday. Kent Suiter was a business visitor in town a few days ago from his ranch in East Anaheim. Job Denni, one of the prominent growers of Los Alamitos, was in town Saturday. Mr. Denni harvested a splendid bean crop this season. Mrs. Vonocke, of the Occidental hotel, Los Angeles, was the guest of Mrs. Ella Williams during the past week. As the canning season is over no more sugar permits will be issued for canning purposes, reports Mrs. C. A. Criss. Mr. and Mrs. George Dunton were visiting friends in Los Angeles the latter part of the week. W. H. Houts and wife, J. N. Cook and wife, and W. H. Brunworth and wife spent Sunday fishing at Laguna. Miss Cara Keech, daughter of the late E. E. Keech, of Santa Ana, died at an American hospital near Winchester, England, on October 17. Miss Keech volunteered as a nurse and was serving at the hospital. L. J. Winney, well known Eastside orange grower, was in town on business a day or two ago. Mrs. Frank Nemetz and Mrs. Charles Hallley, of Los Angeles, were called here last week by the illness of their mother, Mrs. W. F. McClellan. They Victor Schumacher brought to this office, says the Fullerton Tribune, samples of the most prolific bean to be found in this or any other country. It is known as the seven-year bean. Growing year after year it is never injured by the frost or cold weather. He had one vine on his place 16 feet in length. There is a pod at every joint of the long vine, making it, as stated, the heaviest producer in the country. The bean originally came from Europe. When January 1, 1919, arrives there will be few changes in the offices at the court house. But one has been announced. On that day Deputy County Clerk J. M. Backs will become county clerk, to which position he has been elected. He stated that he will re-appoint A. L. Hitchcock, of Orange, and Miss Myrtle Meyer, of Santa Ana, as deputies, and that he would appoint Earl R. Abbey, of Anaheim, to take the place made vacant by Backs' advancement. Abbey is well known in the northern part of the county. He is thoroughly competent. The rare spectacle of a huge water-spout sweeping southward from off Point Dume was afforded hundreds of Santa Monica bay residents at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The column of water, extending from the sea up into the clouds, broke opposite Santa Monica Canyon with a noise that could be heard for miles. The wind that formed the waterspout swept through Santa Monica Canyon, tearing down summer cottages and uprooting many trees. It was the first spectacle of the kind off this coast in several years. The patriotic American has already started Christmas shopping, because the Council of National Defense has made the request in the interest of conservation and it seems fitting and proper that conservation should be observed wherever possible. The shopper will properly regard the "shop early" request as an opportunity, an opportunity to be patriotic, first, by saving man power, by saving fuel and light (by doing all holiday business in regular hours), an opportunity to avoid a last hour rush to secure gifts which is a strain on the purchaser and a strain on the over-worked, tired clerical force of the stores. Buried under a fall of from 8 to 18 inches of snow, the upper ranges of the mountains presented a beautiful spectacle when the curtain of clouds lifted, says the Ontario Report. The snowfall has come unusually early this year and old timers state that it is an indication of plenty of water during the winter. At Camp Baldy there is about 8 inches of snow. The snow belt extends about half way down San Antonio Canyon. At Camp Baldy it was reported it rained there before the snow came. The first of the snowfall in the mountains came during the night of Monday and was visible for a time Tuesday morning. Then later in the day it clouded up and the mountains were hidden from view. It was then that the heavy snow storm was raging. For a time the snow fell almost in sheets and soon the mountain shields were buried under a mantle of glistening whiteness. When Charlie Conliffe was repairing the roof on the old city hall, and was fixing up the recorder's room on the lower floor, he had occasion to inspect the old brick chimney when the new heating stove was placed in position. The old flue wouldn't draw worth a cent, and Conliffe for the time being was stumped. He had built the chimney years ago and it always had given good service, and he couldn't account for its non-drawing qualities. Going up on the roof and looking down the chimney he discovered that the passageway was choked up with a mass of broken brick and plaster. He studied a moment and wondered if it were the work of an earthquake or some unusual occurrence and for a time was puzzled to know how the choking-up process had come about, and is still in the dark. Securing a long pole he began poking in the top while Brother Jim was catching bricks at the bottom. Soon the old chimney was cleared and the new fire place now draws like a team of horses. But Conliffe is wondering how in heck the bricks got in the flue.

He worked three or four days, drawing his pay each night. At noon Saturday Mr.Hucklebridge went to luncheon, leaving the man alone in the shop. When he returned the fellow disappeared, taking with him the contents of the till. Reports Monday show further decline of the influenza epidemic in Orange county. Eighteen new cases in Santa Ana with one death, a Mexican, were reported past 24 hours, with 30 cases released from quarantine. Thirteen new cases were reported from El Modena, where the epidemic appears to be gaining headway. Mrs.William Heger, of 115 Zeyn street, is reported recovering from a severe attack of influenza which she contracted while caring for her sister, Mrs.Anton Klewer, who succumbed to the disease last Thursday. Word has reached here that Mr. and Mrs.Otto Lensing, of San Diego, are the parents of a baby boy. Mr.Lensing formerly lived at Anaheim and now conducts a drug store at San Diego. Mrs.Lensing was formerly Miss Katynel Hinds, resident of Orange, and bookkeeper for the Evening Blade. H.O.Henderson has been appointed secretary of the Orange County Automobile Club, succeeding Captain A.S.Relph, who just entered U.S. army service. Henderson has resigned as city food administrator for Anaheim and J.Lloyd Moore has been appointed his successor. Stanley Roberts writes to the S.Q.R.force that he has just returned to New York, having made four trips across the ocean. The police department has moved an American hospital near Winchester, England, on October 17. Miss Keech volunteered as a nurse and was serving at the hospital. L.J.Winney, well known Eastside orange grower, was in town on business a day or two ago.

When the men were being enlisted it was stated that they probably would be called on to report at Fort Rosecrans by the 15th of this month. None of them have received any word from headquarters. Tuesday there was a clean-up in the mess in which J. F. Neilson, of Orange, found himself a few days ago. Waterhouse & Lester Company, of Los Angeles, sued him for $814.56, and Deputy Sheriff Cravath attached an automobile belonging to Neilson, and put it in a garage at Anaheim. Neilson broke into the place and was riding out in his car when he was arrested for taking attached property. An armistice was signed Tuesday morning, and soon afterward peace was declared. Even the county quit firing. The plaintiff and defendant in the case got together, and a way out for paying the debt and settling the account was found. Of course, thereupon the plaintiff lost all interest in prosecuting Neilson upon the criminal action, and that case, too, was dismissed, according to the terms of the armistice. Joe Heinrich died at the Anaheim sanitarium Friday night. Several days previous to his death he was stricken with influenza. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Erdman Heinrich, and had been a resident of Anaheim 28 years. He was 39 years of age. Funeral services were held at Backs r Terry's Monday, Rev. Leuscher officiating. One of the first tangible results in this county of peace came Monday when the board of supervisors signed up a contract with J. G. Donovan for road grading at Yorba Linda. The bid was received and accepted several weeks ago, but the War Industries Board orders were such that no road building was allowed excepting when it was for war purposes. The ban is lifted, and the work is to be done. A careless driver got off the designated pathway on Center street Tuesday evening and bumped into the steel plagpole with a crash that was heard blocks away. The pole is still standing uninjured, but the auto backed off and limped southward with a crushed radiator, a shattered windshield and other injuries. Slight earthquake shocks were felt here and throughout all Southern California Tuesday. The police department has moved into its old quarters, the east room of the old city hall. The place is small and the officers are cramped for room. The Santa Ana river is again taking on the dignity of a stream. Once more there is water in it, but it shows no disposition to overflow its banks yet. CLASSIFIED PUMPKINS FOR SALE On George Ford's ranch, 2½ miles southwest of Anaheim. Phone Orange 276J5. T. B.

H. Frazier was shot, perhaps fatally, by her son-in-law, Marshall A. Pierce, Monday night. Pierce turned the weapon upon himself, and fired. The bullet entered at the edge of the right temple and came out over the right eye, after penetrating the edge of the brain. While both Mrs. Frazier and Pierce are critically injured, the chances are that both will recover. The shooting occurred at the home of Mrs. Frazier, northeast of Orange, and in the presence of Mrs. Lillian Pierce, daughter of Mrs. Frazier and wife of Pierce. Pierce and his wife had been separated for a number of weeks on an agreement of separation, but last night Pierce while intoxicated returned and attempted to kill Mrs. Frazier. City Marshal Warner, of Orange, and Constable Logan Jackson were called, and later Sheriff Jackson and Under Sheriff Iman were also called. Mrs. Frazier was brought by an Orange physician to the Anaheim sanitarium, where it was said that her chances for recovery are good, though her age, 65, militates against her chances. Pierce was taken to the county hospital. The report is that his injury is serious, but the chances for recovery are fair. The sheriff's office learned that Pierce bought the revolver and a box of cartridges at Anaheim, and at that time remarked: "You needn't be surprised if you hear of a woman killing me or me killing a woman." At local draft board headquarters there is a decided opinion that the men who enlisted in the heavy artillery just a few days before, peace was declared will never be entrained. The opinion is based upon an order from the government to the effect that all entrainments of every kind are called off excepting entrainments based upon competent orders for enlistment in the marine corps and in the navy. The men who signed up for the artillery regiment have been wondering where they stood. Cards were received from Washington showing that they had been enlisted. However, competent orders have not been received, and the local board has orders to entrain none but men for the marines and the navy. The local board has received instructions to proceed against deserters just as before peace was declared. Deserters include men who failed to answer any of the orders of the local board whether for registration, filling of questionnaires or for reporting for entrainment. "Hell hath no furies such as peace for the man who failed in war," is the quotation that comes from Adjutant General Borree.
