Dell Corrillo, aged 22 years of age, a member of the pioneer Yorba family, was shot down and probably fatally injured at the family home at Prado Sunday, by men who were evidently looting the house. He was taken to a hospital at Riverside where an operation was performed in the hope of saving his life, but little encouragement is held out. All afternoon and until darkness put an end to the manhunt tonight, Deputy Sheriffs H. R. Nelson and C. A. Larabee and a posse of enraged Corona citizens seached the Santa Ana river bottom for the man who shot young Corrillo. In spite of the fact that physicians later discovered seven perforations in his stomach and intestines and that he was suffering from a hemorrhage induced from wounds in the lung, the young man drove an automobile from Prado four miles south of Corona where the shooting occurred, to the Corona police station, and gave an account of the shooting to Officer Larabee. Then he collapsed. As soon as an ambulance could be secured the wounded youth was rushed to the Riverside City Hospital and operated on. The shooting occurred at the Prado residence of the Corrillo family shortly after 10 o'clock a.m. The Corrillos have recently removed to Anaheim, leaving the family furniture in the Prado residence. Reports had come to them that mauders had entered the dwelling and were smashing the furniture and creating havoc generally. In order to find out the truth of this story, Dell Corrillo and his uncle, S. Yorba, drove subjects, mutual improvement, and for acquiring property to carry out these purposes. The seven directors named are Charles C. Chapman, Fullerton; Geo. W. Moore, Wintersburg; Samuel Armor, Orange; John L. Dryor, H. Clay Kellogg, Samuel M. Davis, and Nellie P. Tedford, Santa Ana. A great many early residents have looked favorably upon the plan for a historical organization, among them being Judge Egan of San Juan Capistrano, J. E. Pleasants, Leo Geopper, George J. Mebaugh, and many others. After the articles of incorporation are returned from Sacramento, meetings will be held and the society will be opened to popular memberships. Anyone wishing to take part in the society is invited to confer with any of the seven directors above named. "The historical society plans to work with the libraries in gathering matter relating to the early history of the county," said S. M. Davis, "and we wish to gather all kinds of material so that when a history of Orange county is written all the data will be on hand for the use of the historian. "How this general plan will be worked out remains to be seen, depending largely upon the size of the membership, the interest shown, and the desire of the members." "One of the first things we want to do is to gather a record of Orange county's soldiers during the world war." REGROUPING BUILDINGS The Fullerton Union High School is outgrowing itself and the board of high school trustees realize it. At the last meeting of the board the matter of an improved ground plan and a re-grouping of buildings was taken up and thoroughly considered, and William Bonkosky purchased a ranch and voted his time to grow his fumigating business Scouten of Alhambra.

The shooting occurred at the Prado residence of the Corrillo family shortly after 10 o'clock a.m. The Corrillos have recently removed to Anaheim, leaving the family furniture in the Prado residence. Reports had come to them that mauders had entered the dwelling and were smashing the furniture and creating havoc generally. In order to find out the truth of this story, Dell Corrillo and his uncle, S. Yorba, drove up by automobile from Anaheim. Arrived at the house, they found two Mexicans living there. Young Corrillo ordered the intruders out. With scarcely a word, one of the men raised a revolver and pointed it directly at Dell Corrillo, pulled the trigger twice, both shots taking effect, then the two Mexicans fled to the river bottom. Search for them will be continued, Sheriff Wilson announced. A sister of young Corrillo is a teacher at Hollywood High School and the family is well-known throughout Southern California. SEEK TO INCORPORATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY Pioneers Organizing to Preserve Early Records of Interest. Articles of incorporation of "The Orange County Historical Society," an organization long looked forward to by many old-timers of this region, were filed with the county clerk yesterday afternoon and will be sent at once to Secretary of State Jordan at Sacramento for his official O. K. The purpose of the historical society, according to the articles, is the collection and preservation of all material relating to the history of Southern California and especially Orange county; for the discussion of historical REGROUPING BUILDINGS The Fullerton Union High School is outgrowing itself and the board of high school trustees realize it. At the last meeting of the board the matter of an improved ground plan and a re-grouping of buildings was taken up and thoroughly considered, and after a full discussion of the subject it was decided to offer prizes for a plan to increase the group and provide for future development. The new ground plans must provide for the dismantling of the old Manual Arts building, a building that was moved to the grounds and made over, and is the only firetrap in the group. It is a matter of but a short time, the school board thinks, when the institution, the high school and Junior college, will have upward of 1000 pupils, and believes that no time should be lost in planning for that day. Four prizes are to be given, the sum of $2500 for the best or first, $500 for the second, $300 for the third and $200 for the fourth. These prizes should be sufficient to induce the best of talent to compete in the contest. The board has decided to add an agricultural department, and James M. Alcorn of Huntington Beach was engaged as instructor. Miss Zera Hawkins of El Centro has been engaged as a new teacher and will teach mathematics. The entire regular staff has been re-employed for rthe year, but there are still four vacancies. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance.

The heirs of Domingo Bastanchury deceased, who recently won a big money award in the Los Angeles courts in a suit against the Murphy Oil company, paid their attorneys a fee of $120,000 for carrying on that winning fight. This was shown when court permission was granted to Maria Bastanchury, administratrix of the estate, to pay $120,000 to Attorneys Benjamin E. Page, Wm. J. Hunsaker, E. W. Britt, and Leroy M. Edwards, according to a contract previously entered into between them. This money was to be paid from sums which have already been paid the Bastanchury estate by the Murphy Oil company.

This suit is similar to the Birch Oil Company's annual suit against the county, herefore without success, for the return of taxes paid on its oil properties in the north end of the county. The complaint, filed by Attorney E. J. Foulds of San Francisco, recites that the plaintiff's interest in the two parcels of land involved was assessed at $135,410, and its 1918-19 taxes already paid were $4,312.72.

ANAHEIM WINS SECOND IN FORENSIC CONTEST Arthur Bradley Carries Off First Honors in Senior Oration. In the Orange county high school forensic contest held at Fullerton Saturday Anaheim won second place, being nosed out of first by Santa Ana.

Santa Ana therefore captured the school medal, which was donated by William and Flora Starbuck of Fullerton. Arthur Bradley of Anaheim took first honors in the senior oration, his subject being "America, in War and Peace." He received a medal, given by the Anaheim National Bank. On the junior essay, Viola Walton of Huntington Beach won first, Kenneth Goodale of Anaheim third, Goodale's essay being "Voices of Nature." The prize was a medal given by C. C. Chapman.

The sophomore medal was presented by S. H Finley of Santa return of $3,423.38, alleged excess taxes paid under protest. This suit is similar to the Birch Oil Company's annual suit against the county, herefore without success, for the return of taxes paid on its oil properties in the north end of the county. The complaint, filed by Attorney E. J. Foulds of San Francisco, recites that the plaintiff's interest in the two parcels of land involved was assessed at $135,410, and its 1918-19 taxes already paid were $4,312.72. The actual and full cash value of plaintiff's interest, plaintiff alleges, is $29,500, and claims the property should be assessed at 40 per cent of its true value, or $12,000. Plaintiff declares its taxes should have been only $889.38 the past year, and asks return of $3,423.38, which was paid under protest. Action has been brought in the superior court to quiet title to valuable property at Placentia. Samuel J. Tuffree, trustee, is the plaintiff and F. E. Wiscup and a number of defendants, including several oil companies, are named as defendants.

Brown of Compton Monday swore to complaints charging George Hobbs and Frank Reeks, both of Anaheim, with careless driving. It was Compton's declaration that Hobbs automobile smashed his automobile at one end, threw it around just in time for it to be smashed at the other end by Reeks' car. Brown stated that a week ago Sunday about 2 o'clock in the morning he was driving west on the Westminster-Seal Beach road, headed for his home in Compton. Four members of his family were with him He saw machines approaching him, apparently abreast. He got nearly off the pavement in an effort to escape. That left the rear end of his machine on the pavement while the front end was off the pavement. He says that one of the approaching automobiles struck the rear end of his machine. That threw the front end around just in time to be hit by the other machine. Brown further said that everyone in his car was thrown out, and his little daughter received serious injuries. She did not recover consciousness until Sunday. The judge were M. M. Livingston of Poona high, Harold Storrier of Manual high, and Mark R. Jacobs of Montebello high. Anaheim was among the winners in each of the four contests, winning a first, two seconds and a third. The judges were M. M. Livingston of Poona high, Harold Storrier of Manual high, and Mark R. Jacobs of Montebello high. PLENTY OF LABOR "Judging by present indications," said E. M. Smiley, manager of the Southern California Sugar Company, "there will be no need of importing Mexican labor into the country to handle the beet crop in this locality this year." This is the reverse of what has been the situation for the past three years. The crop is light this year, and labor will be sufficiently plentiful in this locality to handle is. Claus Spreckles made application to Emil J. Bernatche, examiner in charge of the Federal Employment Service, for permission to import 200 Mexicans into California to work in the beet fields of the Salinas district. This is the only request that has been made so far this year. For the purposes of Mexico come across fields, with had to be reelected Whether one allowed agitation there are the crops, lowed.

For the past three years large numbers of Mexicans have been allowed to come across the border to work in the fields, with the agreement that they had to be returned to Mexico again at the completion of their contract. Whether or not the importation will be allowed again depends upon the condition of the local labor markets. It contains a fairly efficient inspection and quarantine service, but standards vary as between the several states and coordination of effort is required to ensure exclusion.

RIVERSIDE'S CONVENTIONS Under the auspices of California's commissioner of horticulture a series of conventions are being held in Riverside this week. No happier choice of a location could have been made, for not only are the people of the beautiful city generous in their hospitality, but Riverside itself is in the very heart of the citrus district. It is not impossible that some of the delegates who came to teach may remain to learn. The sessions of the convention have been so arranged that the work of one will not interfere with attendance on another, thus permitting delegates to participate in the proceedings of all the bodies in which they are especially interested. It seems to us the most important business on the program is that embodied in the proposed organization of a league of western states for the protection of orchards and farms against the introduction of injurious insect pests and plant diseases as yet unknown to our horticulture and agriculture.
