Tomblin received a telegram from Denver last week notifying him of the death of his mother. Many Anaheim sports have been out creating havoc among the ducks. Nearly all of them have been bringing in the limit—so they say. Two Fullerton boys, Lloyd Fuller and Lester Cline, were named in the casualty list Monday. Both were reported as slightly wounded. Otto Puckert, of the United States navy, was spending the week with his parents here, having been granted a furlough. He is now at Mare Island but has been stationed at Honolulu, where he made a reputation as champion gunner of the fleet.

Owing to the cut-in of the stream of water in the Santa Ana river, the Santa Leo Strong, former Garden Grove boy, has been severely wounded in the France fighting, according to a telegram received last night. He was a member of Company E, 364th regiment. Strong was undoubtedly wounded during the 18 days' fighting of the 91st division in the Argonne region. A party of joy-riders consisting of H. Berger, Clayton Sunbury and Claude Laythrop, of Orange, and Josie Bishop, Eva and Lillie Payse, of this city, came to grief Sunday when their car skidded and went into the ditch. The young people were on their way to Laguna Beach. Passers-by helped pull the car out of the ditch. The machine was considerably damaged but no one was hurt. On the way home they had another mishap, the machine skidding at the hospital corner and crashing into a telephone pole. None of the occupants was seriously injured, but Miss Bishop sprained her ankle by jumping out of the car. The board of trade finds it impossible to prepare a float for the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena on New Year's day, but an effort will be made to send the Anaheim band to represent this city in the pageant. The proposal will be submitted to the trustees. Arthur Dyckman came up from the naval station at San Pedro and spent a couple of days with his parents last week.

Owing to the cut-in of the stream of water in the Santa Ana river, the Santa Ana canyon road, the main road between Oranage county and the interior counties, is closed. For several months a by-pass has been maintained along the edge of Sandstone Point above Sulphur Slide. It has been known that this road could be used only until winter rains sent down a stream heavy enough to go against the point. If the current goes down so that the temporary road can be replaced, the canyon road will be opened again. If the stream keeps up, as it may, the canyon road will not be open for through travel again until the road now being built over Sulphur Slide is finished, which time will be some weeks hence. Higher grade cigars, in small boxes—cigarette cases—cigarettes in holiday packages. We carry a complete line for your selection. Mullinix Drug Store. With weeks gone by since a telegram from the War Department to them reported Charles Rea as "missing in action," the relatives of Charles Rea at San Juan Capistrano, where he was born and raised, have come to the conclusion that he is dead. After the telegram was received, a letter written by Rea was received. However, the letter bore a date prior to the date of his disappearance in battle in August. No other letter has been received from the War Department. The soldier's father is James Rea, of San Juan Capistrano. Arthur Dyckman came up from the naval station at San Pedro and spent a couple of days with his parents last week. Pete LaPorte, of Fullerton, well known throughout northern Orange county, is reported as one of the severely wounded in France. The Katella school will not open until after New Years owing to the prevalence of influenza. E. Walter Pyne has asked for the probate of the will of Theo. A. Blinn, who died in New York last April, so far as that will concerns property in Orange county. The estate has two lots at Richfield, worth $200. W. F. Menton is attorney for the petitioner. The Farm Bureau excursion planned for Saturday, December 14th, to Riverside, has been indefinitely postponed. Telephone advice to Farm Advisor Wahlberg reports that the influenza epidemic has taken a turn to the worse at Riverside. The authorities have closed all public gatherings. Dr. Webber, director of the Experiment Station, will arrange a date in the spring when weather conditions may be more favorable also. The erection of a beautiful memorial in honor of the Pomona soldier and sailor boys who died in the service is being planned. Three groups of suggestions have been made for the memorial. One of these favors the erection of a beautiful monument in the city hall park. Another group is strongly in favor of putting the money into a memorial Y. M. C. A. building or something of a more practical nature. Still another group would like to see a memorial arch spanning one of the principal streets. However, no action will be taken in the matter until after all of the casualties have been reported. Lieut. Charles D.

Emerson of Garden Grove against Dr. Frances Marshall, also of Graden Grove. Fred Roberts who, with A. D. Palmer, enlisted in the Canadian army several months ago, writes that he is somewhat disappointed as the war ended before he got within shooting distance of a Hun. He is now in Camp at Ottawa, Canada, and is enjoying real winter weather. The Fullerton board of health held a meeting Thursday afternoon and condemned several Mexican shacks on South Harvard avenue. The board also decided to isolate individual cases of influenza. When a person is found with the influenza he or she will be told to remain at home and should they defy the authorities then the home will be quarantined and the whole family will have to remain home until every case therein is cured. President F. C. Krause, of the First National Bank, recently bought the southwest corner of Spadra and Malvern where he will soon start the construction of a home. Mr. Krause also sold his home in Anaheim and as he LARGE REALTY DEAL One of the largest sales of real estate recently reported is the purchase of 40 acres of walnut orchard near this city for $50,000. The transfer will probably be completed within a few days. The price was $1,250 an acre. Among real estate transfers recorded is that of Albert Muckenthaler et ux to the city of Anaheim, strip in Vineyard Lot C-6, and Honora Ahen to August Grewe, lot 18, block 1, Enterprise tract, Vineyard lot E-6, Anaheim. Four members of the family of R. E. Corcoran were down with the flu last week, but none was dangerously ill. Pedro Aguerre, armed with a large hawkkill knife, went after Legrand Conteuras Saturday evening with the intention of carving him into mince meat. Conteuras met him with a board, and got there first. Pedro was taken to police headquarters where Dr. Truxaw sewed up an ugly gash in his head. Monday morning he was arraigned in justice court charged with assault with intent to kill. He was held to answer in the sum of $1,000 and is now in the county jail awaiting his preliminary trial which is fixed for December 17. Witnesses were examined Tuesday by the grand jury in secret session relative to what is alleged to have been an illegal payment of a bill by the city trustees of Anaheim. The complaint is believed to have been made by F. B. Kern, who sued John Kellenberger, then city marshal of Anaheim, on the ground of false arrest. Kern failed to Personal Mention Miss Evelyn Finney, of Anaheim, is visiting in San Diego where she is domiciled at the U. S. Grant hotel. Mrs. Max Junge was one of the influenza patients who was reported seriously ill last week. Charley Mann was in Bakersfield last week attending a meeting of the state auto dealers' association. A. Bayliss was courageous enough to ride the Masonic goat Monday night. He shows some marks of his encounter with the animal, but nothing serious happened to him. Miss Wood, head nurse at the sanitarium, was summoned to Kansas last week by the serious illness of her mother. A Los Angeles nurse took her place during her absence. Henry Muller and Albert Selffreid of Crocker, have been visiting with the family of E. C. Schleutter this week, Mr. Muller being a brother of Mrs. Schleutter. Both gentlemen hold important positions in the Crocker sugar refinery.

He was badly bruised about the head, but his injuries were not serious. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Houts entertained the Midnight Club Thursday night. Fourteen guests were present and enjoyed the evening with cards, Mrs. J. H. Cook and J. W. Sackett being the influenza he or she will be told to remain at home and should they defy the authorities then the home will be quarantined and the whole family will have to remain home until every case therein is cured. President F. C. Krause, of the First National Bank, recently bought the southwest corner of Spadra and Malvern where he will soon start the construction of a home. Mr. Krause also sold his home in Anaheim and as he had no place to go he has purchased of L. C. Bayes the new bungalow on Malvern adjoining his recently acquired property, in order to get a roof to cover his head and those of his family. That is the order of things in Fullerton these days, that in order to get a house to live in it is necessary to buy the house outright, and Mr. Krause has followed closely the order of things.—Tribune. The United States Food Administration has released for civilian use between 500,000 and 750,000 cases of tomatoes which were requisitioned in Southern California for the use of the army. The office of the State Food Administration in San Francisco sent word to F. H. Suffel, special representative at Los Angeles, that all tomatoes set aside for the government which had not been already shipped by the packers to the cantonments may be sold to the civilian trade. This release will not affect the price, Mr. Suffel said, as the government will continue to regulate prices until America has fulfilled its pledge of providing 20,000-100 tons of food for the Allied nations and licensed neutrals. Since the armistice was signed there has been a big slump in the number of marriage licenses issued by the county clerk. For the first time in many months the total for a month has gone below 100. Ever since August 1 there has been a decline, until November arrived, when ker-plunk, there was a drop to 79. War weddings were responsible for no small number of licenses issued last year and this year. From May 1 to November 30 last year there were 935 licenses issued in this county. For the same period this year only 807 were signed up. The record by months for that period in 1917 is: May, 163; June, 166; July, 142; August, 139; September, 94; October, 104; November, 127. The record for those months this year is: May, 104; June, 126; July, 107; August, 150; Septem- Witnesses were examined Tuesday by the grand jury in secret session relative to what is alleged to have been an illegal payment of a bill by the city trustees of Anaheim. The complaint is believed to have been made by F. B. Kern, who sued John Kellenberger, then city marshal of Anaheim, on the ground of false arrest. Kern failed to get judgment after the case was tried two or three times. Kellenberger was represented during the trial by Attorneys H. G. Ames and A. E. Koepsel. The complaint is based upon the ground that a bill for the payment of legal services given Kellenberger could not be paid legally by the city. The trustees are understood to have taken the ground that the suit grew out of Kellenberger's work as a city official, and that therefore the expenses should be paid by the city. Dr. F. E. Corwin, it is reported, is in a hospital at San Francisco very ill. Owing to the nature of his illness it will be several months before he is able to leave the institution. Since the lifting of the embargo on baking materials the White Lily Bakery is once more delivering to its customers all the delicacies that can be turned out in a first-class bake shop. During the holiday season Mr. Dresser is making a special effort to satisfy the appetites of his customers for pies, cakes and pastry of various kinds. Why waste fuel and time doing your own baking when the baker can supply your wants cheaper than you can do it yourself? Everything that comes from the White Lily is good. AUTO LICENSES Local motorists who have been striving for some months to master the multiplex phases of the California Vehicle Act are threatening to apply for entrance to the bar, claiming that their continued investigation of the legal points regarding the operation of flivvers and other gasoline steeds has given them a liberal education in the law. And even the "dyded at the bar" court experts admit that the vehicle act furnishes material for much cud-chewing and deep cogitation. David R. Faries, counsel for the automobile club of Southern California, William Zimmerman, riding on his motorcycle, was run into by a reckless auto driver on the Garden Grove road one evening last week. He was badly bruised about the head, but his injuries were not serious. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Houts entertained the Midnight Club Thursday night. Fourteen guests were present and enjoyed the evening with cards, Mrs. J. H. Cook and J. W. Sackett being the prize winners. Sergt. William Jessurun, who has been in the officers' training camp at Jacksonville, Florida, came home Thursday evening, having been discharged from the service. Sergt. Jesurun enlisted last May and went to Camp Pike as a private. He was soon made a sergeant and later was transferred to Camp Johnston, where he was training for a commission. Dan Naugle received a letter yesterday from Lieut. Bolenbaugh, commanding first company, coast artillery at Fort Rosecrans, announcing that Walter Naugle had been honorably discharged from the service, and highly commending him. Walter is expected home at any time now. His old position in the Cuban sugar factory is open to him and he may return to the West Indies. Percy Rust, wife and little daughter were in Los Angeles Sunday attending the Liberty Fair, and witnessed the aeroplane accident in which Lieuts. Chaffee and Drake lost their lives. Percy says he was watching the birdmen maneuver in the air, when the machine suddenly began to drop, upside down, and came swiftly to earth. He drove to the spot where he thought the machine had landed but found nothing, consequently was not aware that a fatal accident had occurred until he read it in Monday morning's papers. John Pfeninger returned last week from a trip to points of interest in northern part of the state, and while he saw many nice ranches and homes in the Astascadero districts and elsewhere he is still a firm believer that Southern California is away in lead. On his return trip he encountered a severe rainstorm at Ventura and found many of the detour roads in bad condition. Mr. Pfeninger owns 40 Lieut. Charles D. Swanner of Santa Ana, was wounded in battle on November 10, the day before the armistice was signed, after he had been in battle near the Meuse river for several days. Lieut. Swanner was in command of a company in the terrific fighting that marked the last days of the war. That he is alive, he says is a wonder. A steel mirror that he carried is credited by him with saving his life. A piece of high explosive shell passed through it. Fruit growers and others interested in the care of fruit trees and vines may obtain a free copy of a new government publication on insecticides, spraying apparatus and insect pests by writing to Congressman William Kettner, Washington, D.C. The book, entitled "Information for Fruit Growers About Insecticides, Spraying Apparatus and Insect Pests," contains 100 pages, and is fully illustrated. It was compiled and written by special government experts who have devoted years of study to the subject. The board of health of Santa Ana met Monday and ordered all the schools of the city closed for an indefinite period on account of the flu. The attendance at school was very light, owing principally to fear of contagion. There were 82 cases of influenza in Santa Ana Monday, being double the number reported two weeks previously. John Pfeninger returned last week from a trip to points of interest in the northern part of the state, and while he saw many nice ranches and homes in the Astascadero district and elsewhere he is still a firm believer that Southern California is away in the lead. On his return trip he encountered a severe rainstorm at Ventura and found many of the detour roads in bad condition. Mr. Pfeninger owns 40 acres of walnuts on Orangethorpe avenue, from which he has harvested a fine crop. He has the Placentia Perfection, which no doubt are the finest walnuts grown. Mr. Pfeninger is one of the pioneer orchardists of his section, has a spendid property, has invested liberally in Liberty bonds and is happy and contented. W. P. Webb has received a letter from his son Will, who has been fighting with the 91st division in Flanders. Will writes that so far from sticking a bayonet into the enemy they run so fast as to hardly be within rifle shot. Mr. Webb's son Clyde is also in France with a hospital unit. It is expected that both boys will be home before long. Tom McFadden telegraphs from New York that he is returning to his home in Placentia, his services as physical instructor for the Y. M. C. A. in France having been found to be unnecessary on account of cessation of hostilities. Tom made preparations last month to go to France, and resigned as director of the water company. With him coming west are a number of other men who were called as physical instructors to the Y. M. C. A. These young men responded promptly to the call, and now that they are returning home will be welcomed back, and will receive commensurate praise for their patriotism.
