The groom has been county purchasing agent until recently when he resigned and accepted a better position at Butte, Montana, where he and his bride will make their home. The rainstorm which began last Thursday no doubt prompted some citizens to believe that it is unwise to wear leaky shoes in wet weather while the flu is prevalent, consequently he cast about for some means of getting a good pair. The display in Joe Lautenbach's show window attracted his attention. He spotted a pair that just suited his fancy, and some time during the night, while Joe and all good citizens were asleep, returned for them. There was a crack in the plate glass window, cutting off a small corner of the glass. By prying the marble baseboard this section of glass dropped out, leaving a hole large enough for his arm. He got his shoes, then remembering it was wise to "git a-plenty while he was a-gittin'" took four more pairs. He got away with the goods and left no footprints by which he could be trailed. Frieda Gruessing, 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gruessing, died at the sanitarium-last Wednesday from the effect of burns. The origin of the fire is a mystery. The child was with her father in a field when suddenly her clothing burst into flames. After smothering the blaze she was brought to the sanitarium, but her burns were so severe that she died two days later. That there is a movement afoot to secure another state bond issue for highway construction was evidenced Tuesday morning when the Board of Supervisors of this county received a letter asking that it send one of its number to San Francisco for a state conference to be held on February 12. The purpose of the conference is to ask the legislature to submit a bond issue large enough to complete the "original state highway system and new highways as may be decided upon." Every board of supervisors, every association of chamber of commerce, every automobile association and numerous other associations are asked to send delegates. Another auto truck line into Orange county is proposed. Notice of the hearing f the petition of Isabelle Pelton, doing business under the name of the Interurban Transfer Company, has been given by the State Railroad Commission. The hearing is set for February 6 in Los Angeles, at the commission's offices. The petitioner asks for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to establish a truck line for freight, express, and baggage between Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Redlands, Santa Ana, and way points. The petition is of unusual interest here by reason of the fact that the Santa Ana city trustees have declared themselves as against allowing additional franchises, declaring that there is no need for additional service of the nature offered. One firm, discouraged by the city and county opposition at a number of places in Southern California, recently withdrew a petition for a franchise on Orange county roads. The first of the debates will be held at lerton will debate in torium with a caupleitors, and at the same will have a couple of ing the conceit out that city's own roost That the United States and Operate Railroad terstate Commerce," both debates.

Mitchell; secretary, H. S. Covey; county director, Dr. J. H. Schofield. Wives of the members of the farm center were voted in as honorary members and will not be required to pay dues. It is desired that the members bring their wives to all meetings and especially to the February meeting, as the men will prepare and serve refreshments and present a program. J. W. Walls, of Anaheim, and J. H. Buhrman, of Olive, are ready for another round in the courts. They have had a number of rounds, and this may not be the last. On May 8, 1918, Walls got a judgment of $2,156.74 against Buhrman as the result of a real estate deal that got into court. Since then Walls has camped on Buhrman's trail, trying to collect on the judgment. He has managed to reduce the amount due to $1,410.04. Friday suit was brought to have 15 acres at Olive put in the hands of a receiver. The deed was from Buhrman to his sister, Mrs. Anna Klaus, on December 3, 1917. Walls alleges the deed was given to defraud him of collecting his judgement. With a naval training school to be located on the south coast, the people of Orange county are going to make a strenuous try to secure the honor of having it located at Newport harbor and with this as one of the principal topics for discussion, a special meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce has been called for Friday night at James' cafe in Santa Ana. Proposed harbor improvements at Newport and the proposed farm school will be other important matters that will come up for consideration. They are live questions and of the utmost importance to all of Orange county and for this reason the special meeting has been called by President J. A. Armitage. As accommodations are limited, reservations must be made with Secretary Metzgar by those who want to attend. Word has been received in Yorba Linda of the death of Howard Brown which occurred on the battlefields of France on October 31. He was not the Howard Brown known more familiarly at Yorba Linda as "Brownie," but was a younger boy who made his home there for a time with his brother, Taylor Brown. Ed Meierhoff, the first of the Olive boys to return from overseas service, arrived a few days ago from the Presidio at San Francisco where he received his discharge. Ed was a motorcycle rider with the "Grizzlies" and says he had a wonderful experience and saw many places of interest, but California and home is the best place of all to him. The choir of the Christian church was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Rollo McClellan Friday evening. Refreshments were served by the hostess and several hours were pleasantly spent Personal Mention Dr. Lamhofer, of Fullerton, was in town Monday on a business trip.

The major was in France helping discipline the Hun. Frank Anderson, who was in the aviation service, stationed at Sacramento, is at home again, he and his Friday morning Judge West sentenced Leo Landeros to San Quentin for a term of one to fifteen years. Landeros was the leader of a gang of Mexicans who used a truck to go around the country on robbery expeditions. The offense for which four men have been arrested and three sentenced to San Quentin was the robbery of a shop at Anaheim of a lot of auto tires. Francisco Ruelas, the fourth member of the gang, will be up for sentence by Judge Williams this afternoon. Judge West recommended to the parole board that Landeros be given no parole inside of five years. Numerous letters of recommendation from well known men in several Southern California counties convinced Judge R. Y. Williams Friday morning that probation should be extended to Daniel B. Potts, who pleaded guilty to forging the name of the Anaheim Herald to ten checks of $30 each. Potts worked upon a number of newspapers as a reporter and city editor. His chief fault was that he got off on "periodicals." It was while drinking that he got into trouble at Anaheim. He admitted to Judge Williams that practically all the trouble he has ever had has been through booze. Total abstinence is made the cardinal requirement of Potts' probation. V. W. Hannum, superintendent of the power house, is compiling a card list of every light and water consumer in the city, the same to be used for ready reference. The cards are to be indexed and placed in a cabinet and will be of value to the city for checking up purposes. Mr. Hannum has been installing meters on every line, and will soon have the system complete, all patrons are to be charged for the service, including schools, the postoffice lobby, and all public buildings. By this means it will be possible to compute the exact outgo of the light and water, and William Schroeder, alien enemy, who has been in jail since September 14, was allowed to go Thursday. Schroeder lived at Anaheim, and was arrested for criticism of the United States registration. He registered as an alien enemy and it angered him because he had to register for the draft, too. The statements that caused his arrest were made in the registration office. Justice Howard sentenced him to 90 days in jail for disturbing the peace. Federal authorities instructed the sheriff's office to hold Schroeder until further orders. A few days ago the federal authorities gave instructiona day ago. Ed was a motorcycle rider with the "Grizzlies" and says he had a wonderful experience and saw many places of interest, but California and home is the best place of all to him. The choir of the Christian church was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Rollo McClellan Friday evening. Refreshments were served by the hostess and several hours were pleasantly spent with music and games. Sam Snodgrass has been discharged from the service at Camp Lewis and is at home again. He is once more on the job at the Anaheim Feed & Fuel Company's store. Olive voted a bond issue of $15,000 for a new school house Saturday. Out of 39 votes cast only two were against the bonds. The high school opened again Monday after several weeks' vacation on account of flu. The music class is making preparations to present the Japanese opera, "The Mikado," on the stage in a short time. Declaring the Anaheim Union Water Company, through maintaining an open irrigating ditch at Fullerton, was responsible for the death of his 18-month-old daughter, Thomas A. Thomas has filed suit for $5000 damages against the water company. The baby, Leanore Thomas, was drowned in the open ditch on October 18, in a stream of water two feet deep and 18 inches wide. The complaint, filed by Attorney Leonard Evans, alleges no fence or other protection is provided along the ditch; that the flowing water is an allurement to children, and to them their lives the ditch is a menace. P. H. Krick is nursing a badly fractured arm, the outcome of a dispute which he had several days ago with a Holstein bull over the possession of a pen. The aristocratic animal objected to Mr. Krick's presence in the pen, and made his objection manifest in a forceable manner. The irate bull bumped the intruder horned him, crushed him against the wall, then obligingly lifted him half way over the fence. At this stage of the combat Mr. Krick got a hunch that the animal didn't want him in the pen, so he went over the top without further assistance. In addition to the broken arm the loser in the fight sustained numerous bruises of a minor nature. The bull has since been of every light and water consumer in the city, the same to be used for ready reference. The cards are to be indexed and placed in a cabinet and will be of value to the city for checking up purposes. Mr. Hannum has been installing meters on every line, and will soon have the system complete, all patrons are to be charged for the service, including schools, the postoffice lobby, and all public buildings. By this means it will be possible to compute the exact outage of the light and water, and the power plant service can then be definitely determined. Heretofore this has not been the case, as there were some users of the units on the free list. By arriving at the exact figures of the receipts and expenditures of the power plant the trustees can see where they are at, and should there be too much revenue derived the rate could be reduced and the people given the benefit. That is the beauty of municipal ownership. Fritz Kluewer of the Exchange Grill, has added a steam table to his equipment for the purpose of furnishing his customers hot lunches on short order. There are twelve vessels on the fire consequently twelve dishes can be kept hot at the same time. Fritz is determined to make the Exchange a popular place for quick lunches. The first of the county high school debates will be held this evening. Fullerton will debate in the Anaheim auditorium with a couple of our best orators, and at the same time Anaheim will have a couple of spellbinders taking the conceit out of Santa Ana on that city's own rosturm. "Resolved, That the United States Should Own and Operate Railroads Engaged in Interstate Commerce," is the subject of both debates. Anaheim speakers have the affirmative here and the negative at Santa Ana. Schroeder lived at Anaheim, and was arrested for criticism of the United States registration. He registered as an alien enemy and it angered him because he had to register for the draft, too. The statements that caused his arrest were made in the registration office. Justice Howard sentenced him to 90 days in jail for disturbing the peace. Federal authorities instructed the sheriff's office to hold Schroeder until further orders. A few days ago the federal authorities gave instructions for Schroeder's parole, provided he gave a $3,000 bond. The bond has been secured. Douglas Rose, of Olinda, was a visitor in town a few days ago. Doug is one of the expert drillers on the Columbia lease, where he has been for the past eleven years. Orange county has not yet raised its quota of $15,000 for the Syrian-Armenian relief fund, but Chairman Finley is optimistic and thinks the sum will yet be reached. Anaheim is still several hundred dollars shy of its $1700 allotment. Most of this money is being raised through churches and societies. C. P. Cowan has receovered from an attack of the gripe and is able to be about again. Mr. Cowan will later return to Pond, where he will engage in business. Herman Noll has invested in a Chalmers and now lines up with the best of 'em. Joe Hessel came up town the other day to meet with some of his old-time friends. Clayton Moran and wife, of Hollywood, have visiting Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wagner of this city. The La Habra Citrus Association wants a special ordinance by which trespassers in orange orchards can be handled. A resolution asking for the law has been passed by the association and has been presented to the Board of Supervisors. This resolution states that citrus growers are subjected to a lot of pilfering, and while it is very hard to catch anyone in a grove it is still harder to convict the person of petty larceny, for it seems necessary to prove malice in the theft. The association suggests that it be made a misdemeanor for a person to enter a posted grove. A grove should be considered posted when there is a sign every 200 yards or less prohibiting trespassing. A penalty clause of from $5 to $100 or one day to fifty days is asked. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the Board of Supervisors; County Treasurer J. C. Joplin, and County Auditor W. C. Jerome have signed a statement setting 2 per cent as the rate to be charged banks that secure deposits of county money. This is the rate that has been fixed each year for a number of years past. The rate must be fixed by the board chairman, the treasurer and the auditor once a year. Kaspar Chameriz has closed his shooting gallery on West Center street.

Falkenstein's Department Store The hearing upon the proposal of the Orange County Harbor Commission that a bond election be called for bonds for the improvement of Newport Harbor was continued from yesterday to February 18. Owing to the fact that two of the supervisors have been called away and could not be present, it was found best to continue the matter. F. A. Yungbluth was made exceedingly happy by the receipt of a soldiers' letter last week. The soldier, Jacob Longway, a member of Co. H. 128th Inft., lives in Wisconsin, an is a total stranger to Mr. Yungbluth, but he stated that while kicking about on German territory seeing the sights in the vicinity of Coblenz, he stayed two days and nights at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Yungbluth, Frit's parents. Owing to blockades and postal restrictions it had been three years since letters had passed between the old folks and their son, consequently Longway volunteered to write to Fritz informing him that his parents were both living and enjoying good health. He also agreed to relay to the parents a message of like purport from the son. Fritz has been here 27 years. He is thoroughly Americanized, but his affection for the old folks is as strong as ever, consequently he was overjoyed at receiving reassuring news of their welfare from the obliging young Sammy. An aeroplane that used to soar around Anaheim and surrounding points and which took one disastrous flight over Santa Ana is subject of an action that is on trial before Judge Williams. H. J.

EMPLOYMENT COMMITTEE FOR RETURNED SOLDIERS Five Men to Have Charge of the Matter in Orange County Through a committee appointed by the State Council of Defense, soldiers and sailors returning to Orange county so far as possible are to be given their old jobs or jobs equally as good. This committee is composed of S. H. Finley, Santa Ana, chairman; N. T. Edwards, Orange; R. J. McFadden, Anaheim; A. H. Sutton, Fullerton; E. E. French, Huntington Beach. Scores of men who have already returned from army duty have gone directly into their old jobs. In many instances, men have found new jobs. Sometimes, the positions that the men held no longer exist. The chief difficulty that local people who are interested in getting jobs for soldiers have had is in finding employment for men who did not go to service from here. There are a lot of them who left homes in the Middle West and who want to stay on the Coast. These men are asking army and navy replacement committees to help them find jobs. This feature is going to make it harder for the returning soldiers to get employment. The replacement committees feel that their first duty is to the men who went from here. "This county army and navy replacement committee," said Col. Fin- An aeroplane that used to soar around Anaheim and surrounding points and which took one disastrous flight over Santa Ana is subject of an action that is on trial before Judge Williams. H. J. Hogan, aviator, teacher of flying, is the plaintiff, and the Southern California School of Aviation, the California Airplane Co., C. C. and B. H. Sidman are the defendants, represented by Attorney H. G. Ames of Anaheim. Hogan is suing for possession of the aeroplane, which he says was worth $1600. The defense declares that under Hogan's contract with the aviation companies he was to pay for all substantial repairs upon the machine. On one flight over Santa Ana the machine landed in a ditch and repairs ran up to $700. Altogether, the aviation company asserts that it has a lien of $1897.48 on the biplane and the court is asked to decree that the plane be held for the lien. A girl five years old was named as the sole heiress to an estate valued at $50,000 when letters of administration were asked of the probate court in Los Angeles Tuesday. She is Marjorie Andrade, granddaughter of Manuel Andrade, Sr., an early settler of the Elizabeth Lake district. Little Marjorie will be sole mistress of 800 acres of land near Elizabeth Lake. The petition was filed by Haas & Dunnigan, attorneys for James S. Bennett, guardian of the child. The girl is an orphan. Her father, Manuel Andrade, Jr., died on November 30, 1918, and his reversionary interest in the estate of his father rested in his wife. Bht the wife died within six hours of the husband. Both were victims of influenza. Manuel Andrade, the father, was a nephew of M. F. Andrade of Anaheim. County Clerk J. M. Backs has just received an appointment from Washington, D. C., as an agent who may issue in this county licenses for handling and using explosives. He has been notified that the war requirement of the government that licenses be required for the sale and use of fireworks or for dealing in platinum, iridium and palladium has been removed. The city council of Santa Ana is now debating whether or not it is advisable to conduct that city's sewage to the ocean or to enlarge its sewer farm. The inter-city outfall project is dead.
