GUN CLUB SHOOT Mrs. C. E. Groat, formerly of this city, won the 50-target handicap shoot staged over the traps of the Los Angeles Gun Club on Monday when she broke 48 birds out of a possible 50. Second place honors in the shoot were tied for by O. A. Evans and C. E. Groat when they each broke 47 out of a possible 50. People on the east side of town were startled at 10:30 o'clock Saturday night by a heavy explosion in the vicinity of the Santa Fe depot. Many left their homes and started on an investigating tour, believing that something serious had happened. It was learned, however, that the terrific noise was caused by the blowing out of a cylinder head of a locomotive hitched to a freight train near the depot. The locomotive, one of the largest on the road, was helpless, and nearly an hour elapsed before relief came and the train was able to proceed on its way. No one was injured. Paul Allec and E. H. Farwell were each caught by Motorcycle Officer Minyard Saturday breaking the speed limit, and cited to appear before Recorder Howard at an early date and make settlement. Minyard alleges that both men were traveling at the rate of thirty miles an hour.

FULLERTON WINS CHAMPIONSHIP The Fullerton high school baseball club defeated Pasadena high at Tournament Park on Tuesday afternoon for the championship of Southern California, by a score of 11 to 9. Fullerton will now play Oakland high school for the championship of the state. Fullerton won the fooball championship of Southern California some weeks ago, and were desirous of meeting Bakersfield for the state championship, but the Kern county lads declined to meet the huskies from this county. ENTERTAINMENT AT SEAL BEACH A unique and gorgeous celebration will be pulled off at Seal Beach next Saturday, June 28, when the famous Scream Club, an organization of movie actors and actresses, publicity men and women scenario writers, and various other branches of filmdom, will give its annual outing and picnic. It is promised that nothing just like it has ever before been given, and that it will be worth going many miles to see. There will be day and night airplane exhibitions. A day flight will be made from De Mille field to Seal Beach each with a famous representative of filmdom as a passenger. At night an illuminated airplane flight will be made. Another novel stunt will be a race by ancient automobiles, none of the entries being less than 20 years old. Come on you old-timers! On Sunday, July 13, the official seasonal bathing girl revue will be held at Seal Beach. The Anaheim Sugar Co. has purchased 480 acres of farming ground from the Bolsa Chico Gun Club. The property lies near Sunset Beach. This is the third purchase of sugar beet land made by the company in the last few weeks.

It is said to be a good quality but no doubt the price is correspondingly high. J. H. Bolisseranc of the Buena Park neighborhood brought some in yesterday and states he has been sending it to Los Angeles for the past two weeks, getting a dollar a dozen for it. A great deal of travel is being directed to Lemon street thereby relieving the congestion on the state highway, which during certain hours of the day is annoying to autoists passing through this city. Some fine buildings are being erected on Lomon street, and some of the property owners there are making the boast that this thoroughfare for business will soon be one of the best in the county. George H. Beckman has filed suit in the Superior court against Theodore Roberts of Anaheim, seeking to collect $750 alleged to be due him, as half of the commission on a real estate deal. Roberts, according to the complaint, represented that he was the duly authorized agent for the sale of 5½ acres of Mrs. Richardson's property northeast of Anaheim, to be sold for $16,500, sought Beckman's aid in making the deal and promised Beckman half of the commission for making the sale. Thereafter, Beckman alleges, he secured a buyer for the tract, a Mr. Hazlett, who bought the 5½ acres for the agreed-upon price, and Beckman is suing Roberts to collect half of the commission, or $750. The Anaheim Sugar Co. has purchased 480 acres of farming ground from the Bolsa Chico Gun Club. The property lies near Sunset Beach. This is the third purchase of sugar beet land made by the company in the last few weeks. The first purchase was that of the Golter ranch and the second that of the Golden West company at Smeltzer. There are 400 acres in the Golter ranch and 610 in the Golden West. With the purchase from the gun club, the sugar company now has 1490 acres in the Wintersburg-Smeltzer section. Preparations are now under way for tilling much of the land bought from the gun club, so that the land will be ready for beet planting next winter. John W. Hart of Los Angeles, a former resident of Anaheim, was visiting old friends here Thursday. He was accompanied by E. H. Dressing a Yuma merchant, who is his guest while enjoying a vacation on the coast. Like all loyal Arizonaans Mr. Dressing denies that the weather has been unpleasantly warm at Yuma. Mrs. Rhode Sherk, with Leonard Evans as her attorney, is suing W. L. and W. H. Sherk to collect $720 alleged due on two promissory notes, one for $400 signed in Los Angeles on December 16, 1914, and the other for $320, signed in Anaheim on June 1, 1918.

Local Notes The telephone company added four girls to the force Tuesday making eight now at work in the local office. The girls, it is said, are guarded from undue outside influence, board and lodging being provided for them inside the building. It is also claimed that their pay is one dollar above the old schedule. Application for permission to sell two lots in the Center tract no longer needed for church purposes, has been filed with the Superior court by the Methodist Church of Anaheim, represented by Attorney Leonard Evans. The application recites that other property which will be used for church and parsonage purposes has been secured and these two lots are no longer needed. The church has authorized their sale at a price of $6000. Trustees of the church signing the application are O. E. Steward, J. H. Clabaugh, Charles Eygabroad, C. W. Harvey and W. M. Wellman. There is a possibility that there will be an oil excitement in the Santa Ana canyon in Riverside county as well as in the Moreno country. Derricks are steadily marching up the canyon in Orange county, and drilling will begin in a few days on the south side of the river below the new road around Sulphur Slide. The derrick is up and oil tanks are being erected. This is the nearest well to the Riverside county line, and if oil is struck there, drilling farther up the canyon may be expected. Several years ago a well was started by Riverside men on the north side of the river not far from the Orange county line, and experts regard the prospection. The Anaheim Union Water Company will start Run No. 2, July 1. Fifty inches one hour per share will be allowed. Announcement on the second page of this paper reads one hundred inches an hour per share, but that is an error, discovered too late for correction. The Star Whist Club met at Masonic Temple Friday afternoon with Mrs. J. W. Sackett and Mrs. F. T. Kern as hostesses. Mrs. Charles Harbison was winner of the first prize, Mrs. John Kellenberger second and Mrs. O. A. Mullinix third, while Mrs. W. P. Webb was given the consolation prize. Theodore Roberts motored over to San Jacinto Sunday to visit his wife, who is spending a few weeks at the springs. People who remained at home Sunday thought the weather in Anaheim was excessively warm, but Mr. Roberts states that the thermometer reached 105 at San Jacinto. Street Superintendent Steward has a force of men cleaning up the alleys of weeds and rubbish. Owners of vacant lots should get busy and clean up their premises or the city will do it necessitating an extra cost. Dry weeds on vacant lots are dangerous as many offer ideal places for a bad fire. Now, altogether! The first industry attracted to this county by the favorable vote on the harbor proposition is the Branagan-California Glass factory which will begin operations as soon as equipment can be installed. J. B. Branagan, the general superintendent, Frank F. Peard, vice president and general manager, and Ira L. Miller, treasurer, accompanied by D. W. McDannald, were Mrs. William Cordes was visiting friends in San Bernardino last week. Rev. Robert McAulay is in town visiting his parents and friends.

Anderson are appointed appraisers of the estate of Mary C. Bertler, deceased. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Adams and family have returned from a two weeks' camping trip in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. They also spent several days in Black Star canyon. Mrs. C. E. Holcomb and her son, Johnny Holcomb, are sojourning at Bear Lake with a party of friends. Mrs. Holcomb has been seriously ill for some weeks past, but is rapidly regaining her health. J. H. Whitaker and son, Loring, spent a day or two last week fishing in the north fork of the San Gabriel, spending the nights under the star spangled sky. They report a good catch. Mrs. L. F. Pomeroy entertained the Elite club at her home Thursday afternoon. The ladies spent the afternoon in playing games, Mrs. W. J. Lake being winner of the first prize. Mrs. Louie Kroeger second and Mrs. R. B. Herman third. Mrs. N. F. Steadman recently received copies of "The Pontanezen drilling will begin in a few days on the south side of the river below the new road around Sulphur Slide. The derrick is up and oil tanks are being erected. This is the nearest well to the Riverside county line, and if oil is struck there, drilling farther up the canyon may be expected. Several years ago a well was started by Riverside men on the north side of the river not far from the Orange county line, and experts regard the prospects of oil there as promising. H. H. Hale represented the Anaheim Union Water Co. recently at a meeting in San Diego, attended by the representatives of more than 200,000 acres of irrigated lands. Recent legislation affecting water companies was discussed, and the association's attorneys were directed to prepare bills for presentation to the next legislature further defining the rights and powers of mutual water companies. The sentiment of the meeting was strongly in favor of the mutual ownership of water systems. The Episcopal, Christian, Methodist and Presbyterian churches will hold union services on Sunday evenings during July and August. The first Sunday evening of the month services will be held at St. Michael's church, second at the Christian church, third at Masonic Temple (temporary quarters of the M. E. church) and fourth at the Presbyterian church. We have received through the courtesy of Senator Hiram Johnson a number of copies of the soil survey of Anaheim area. This is an interesting and valuable pamphlet issued by the department of agriculture for free distribution. Our supply is limited, but any person wanting one can get it at this office while they last. Business is extending westward. Mostyn and Walter Koehler are today opening a cash grocery store at 123 Lincoln avenue, and announce that they will carry a stock of general groceries, feed and gasoline, thus catering to the stomachs of men, animals and motor vehicles. The boys are starting in a small way, but expect to treat their customers in such a generous manner that the business will expand. The situation is a good one, and the store will be a great convenience to the westend people. The first industry attracted to this county by the favorable vote on the harbor proposition is the Branagan-California Glass factory which will begin operations as soon as equipment can be installed. J. B. Branagan, the general superintendent, Frank F. Peard, vice president and general manager, and Ira L. Miller, treasurer, accompanied by D. W. McDannald, were in Anaheim Thursday in the interests of the new industrial concern. The capital stock of the corporation is $750,000. Natural gas is the fuel to be used, and Mr. Branagan says the company's reason for locating on the beach is that the constant sea breeze lowers the temperature inside the works and makes existence tolerable to the workers. Articles of incorporation of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Anaheim were filed with the county clerk Thursday. There are to be seven directors. Present directors are Miss Theresa C. Fay, Mrs. Sarah A. Bayliss, William A. Wallace, Mrs. Grace R. Ahlborn, and Mrs. Cora E. Hoag, all of Anaheim. E. W. Payne, who farms in the Santa Ana canyon, about four miles above Olive, has presented the Chamber of Commerce with a white rose new potato of immense size. It weight two pounds. One weighing a pound and a half was left at the Register office. The potatoes were grown on river-bottom land, and Payne says that about half of his crop is of large size spuds, weighing from one to one and a half pounds. He has sold the crop to Los Angeles parties at fancy prices. This is Payne's first year as a spud grower.-Register. Fullerton will have a rigid inspection of milk and dairy products in future. It is declared that when there is a lot of milk that is not permitted to be sold in Los Angeles that it is dumped on to the cities of Orange county. Dr. J. H. Lang, city health officer, addressed the board of city trustees on the importance of having milk and dairy products inspected. City Attorney Marks was directed to draw up an ordinance, complying with the state law, and possibly patterned after the Riverside ordinance, covering the inspection of milk, and he will catch. Mrs. L. F. Pomeroy entertained the Elite club at her home Thursday afternoon. The ladies spent the afternoon in playing games, Mrs. W. J. Lake being winner of the first prize. Mrs. Louie Kroeger second and Mrs. R. B. Herman third. Mrs. N. F. Steadman recently received copies of "The Pontanezen Duckboard," which is the euphonious name of a newspaper printed by the soldier boys at Brest, France. The papers were sent by her son, Corp. E.J.Steadman, while he was in camp waiting for orders to embark for home. They are full of news relative to the doings of the Sammies in France and the movement of transports carrying them home. George Meyers had the pleasure on Tuesday of meeting his old shipmate, Tom Kennedy, manager of the navy band which gave two concerts here on Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday evening. As George walked out of the Palm restaurant on East Center street there was Ton standing in front of his establishment. The two were shipmates in the United States navy 17 years ago. It was a very pleasant meeting between those two gentlemen and George says he was immensely pleased to meet up with his old pal. Ben Yorba paid a visit to Monrovia a few days ago to look after his property interests there. He also has income property in Los Angeles, a forty-acre tract of land in the city of Venice, besides reality in other Southern California towns. As yet no oil development has been started on his large tract at Yorba, but in all probability there will be in near future. Mr.Yorba is associated with three gentlemen and has taken a lease on a tract of land located midway between the Chapman and Heffron wells, upon which it is reasonably expected oil exists. He feels confident the Heffron well will be a good one, as already oil has been struck at various depths. The recent difficulty experienced at the well through the loss of about 800 feet of the lower casing is being overcome and good progress now is being made. Ben uses the best high powered cars in making his trips round about, and believes the Southland has just started to boom. Cupid is this year in the rage."

Fifty persons from Anaheim attended the Elks reception given to Eddie Rickenbacker at the Hollingsworth ranch near Santa Monica Sunday. During the afternoon fire, caused by the back-fire of an auto, broke out in a field where the machines were parked, and for a time there was a wild scramble to save the cars. One machine was destroyed and several others damaged, among them being Albert Vail's Bulck.

Judgment in favor of the plaintiff has been entered in the suit of the Citizens Trust and Savings Bank vs. the Anaheim Sanitarium. Suit was brought to secure new certificates for five shares of sanitarium stock to replace certificates which had been lost, which were the property of the Machinery and Electrical Company, of which the Citizens bank is now trustee. By granting a motion for non-suit, Judge R. Y. Williams Monday disposed of the case of J. B. Petrie of Long Beach against W. C. Heffern and others. Petrie, who owns land in the Golden State tract where oil drilling operations are under way, alleged the defendants had prevented Petrie from leasing his property for oil purposes by claiming to prospective lessees that they already held a lease on the place. Petrie asked an injunction restraining the defendants from making such claims and damages. By granting the non-suit, Judge Williams ruled that Petrie had not introduced sufficient evidence to sustain his allegations. A "Johnson for President" club was formed at Santa Ana Saturday. Clyde Bishop was elected president and Lieut. Charles Swanner secretary. It is a county organization. Dr. C. W. Harvey and wife and H. S. Jayne and family formed a birthday party Tuesday and went down to Long Beach to celebrate. It was the birthday anniversary of Dr. Harvey, Mrs. Jayne and her son, Stewart Jayne.

Work has been in progress for four or five months. Other wells are being bored in the neighborhood, and it is certain that a valuable new oil field has been brought in. It is reported that drilling will shortly begin on Charles Eygabroad’s place, northwest of town. This will be the nearest point to Anaheim of any development work. This is to certify that Joseph Babich, aged 9 years and Martin Babich, aged 8 years, were admitted into St., Catharine’s Orphanage October, 1918. DOMINICAN SISTERS October, 1918. 4-t The hot weather Sunday was hard on automobiles. People who were out joy riding report numerous crippled machines along the highway. JUNE WEDDINGS Cupid is on the job in Santa Ana this year and June weddings are “all the rage.” Last June, to date, ninety-one marriage licenses had been issued here, and the total licenses issued in June, 1918, were 126. Now things have changed and with the passing of war’s uncertain days there is a rush to the altar, as shown by license records of the county clerk’s office. In this month, with six days yet to go, there had been 130 marriage licenses issued by "Cupid" Backs and his assistants, four more than the total for June last year. And a dozen or so couples apply every day, so it is safe to assume that the record of June, 1919, will be a top-notcher. Somebody in the recorder’s office got curious Monday evening and looking up limit that I know of; a license is good until it's used," replied County Clerk Backs. Then the why of Miss Whitney’s inquiry was exhibited, a license issued in Santa Ana on June 19, 1916, to Herman R. Durkes, 50, San Diego, and Mary Robertson, 42, of Los Angeles. Although the license was issued three years ago, signatures at the bottom of the license, which had just been filed for recording, showed that the ceremony uniting the couple was performed last Saturday, June 21, 1919, by Justice Cox. The reason for the delay in getting the knot tied is not known. COMPENSATION LAW To clearly establish in the minds of service men the difference between disability and benefits under war risk insurance and compensation, the navy department has sent a letter to local Navy Recruiting Officer W. P. Hughes as follows: Please bring to the attention of all men seeking information to the fact that disability benefits under war risk insurance are separate and apart and have no connection with compensation. Compensation relates only to injury or disability incurred in the line of duty, while in the service. Disability benefits are paid to the insured "for any impairment of mind or body which renders the insured totally disabled to such an extent that he cannot follow any substantially gainful occupation." For example, a man called at this office suffering from consumption which existed prior to his enlistment, and was not incurred in the line of duty. He was not entitled to compensation, but is entitled to and will receive $57.50 per month disability under his policy for the remainder of his life. It does not matter whether or not the disease or injury was contracted as a result of the insured’s own misconduct or otherwise, and the time or circumstances have no bearing on the question, if disabled so that it is reasonably certain that it will be permanent, and to such an extent that expected oil ment the Heffron as already oil ous depths.

Somebody in the recorder's office got curious Monday evening and looking up the records found that already this month sixty wedding certificates, out of the 130 licenses issued, had been filed by Justice Cox. "Is there any time limit on marriage licenses? How long are they good for?" Miss Justine Whitney, county recorder, inquired at the county clerk's office Mopday afternoon.

Berger company purchased of R. J. Barber the beautiful ten-acre Valencia orange grove on South Los Angeles street, Anaheim, which was formerly owned by S. R. Coate. The Berger company sold this grove for Coate to L. M. Durham about five months ago and resold it to Barber for $32,000 two months ago. In the purchasing of the Barber grove the Berger company has acquired one of the highest class all-around properties in Orange county. Durham recently purchased the Kirsch place, just southwest of Anaheim, and Coate has acquired the Swett and Metcalf 20-acre grove on the Ball road. About 90 per cent of the men confuse the two, compensation and disability, and think that it is necessary for the injury or disease to be contracted while in the service or a result of service before they can secure disability benefits and the government wants them educated on these lines.
