PARK CUSTODIAN HURT By the blowing off of a tire ring, Fred Seifert, custodian of the County Park, was cut and bruised and rendered unconscious for several minutes. He believes that he had a narrow escape from being killed. Saturday morning Siefert got up early to make a trip to Santa Ana. He found a tire on his machine soft. He changed for the extra, which had been blown up for him at a Santa Ana garage a day or two previous to that time. He had the tire and rim in place and merely tapped the ring lightly with a hammer when there came an explosion. The two points of the ring in blowing off burst out the edge of the rim. When Siefert recovered consciousness he was on his back fifteen feet from the automobile. The rim struck him heaviest in two places, the shoulder and right knee, and through his clothing cut and bruised the flesh severely. The concussion against the side of his head probably caused unconsciousness. Mrs. Siefert, aroused from sleep by the explosion, got out of bed, came downstairs and arrived just as Siefert was trying to raise himself from the ground. The injured man was helped to bed and remained there all day Saturday. The casing of the tire was not harmed. The inner tube was ripped for fifteen or eighteen inches. Charley McAulay writes that the Great Northern steamship, on which he is an electrician, is now making its last trip across the Atlantic as a transport. It will be sent to the Pacific after discharging its last load of troops. J. II. Whittaker, secretary of the board of trade, attended a meeting of CHAMPIONSHIP BASEBALL The baseball game between Fullerton and Oakland high school nines for the championship of California, which was to have been played on the Fullerton grounds Tuesday afternoon, was postponed to Wednesday afternoon owing to the non-arrival of the northern players. They came by steamer to San Pedro, and were met by members of the Fullerton team in autos, and arrived in Fullerton Tuesday evening. Despite the fact that printed bills were distributed as far as Whittier and Pomona, announcing the game had been postponed, a large crowd gathered, 512 automobiles being counted. The game is in progress as we go to press. We are betting on Fullerton to the last dollar. NEW DISTRICT OPENED IN THE OIL FIELDS Gusher Developed by the Union at Santa Fe Springs. There was considerable interest, not to say excitement, among oil men and others, when news of the bringing in of an oil well by the Union Oil company a short distance southeast of Santa Fe Springs reached here. This company has been drilling for the past three years and felt confident all the time that they would eventually strike a paying well. It is in new territory, being a wildcat well, and will add another large section to the already extensive oil fields of Orange county. Developments in this district have been watched with great interest by men engaged in the oil industry and the bringing in of 0 this well means that many other wells will be driven within the near future. The oil produced is of a gravity The six-ton fire truck station fire department will soon again in about thirty minutes to the estimate of the new motor is being installed 350-gallon pumper will be greatly increase than the apparatus.

Three leases of property Charley McAulay writes that the Great Norther steamship, on which he is an electrician, is now making its last trip across the Atlantic as a transport. It will be sent to the Pacific after discharging its last load of troops. J. H. Whitaker, secretary of the board of trade, attended a meeting of the commercial secretaries of Southern California held at San Bernardino Saturday and Sunday. He reports a profitable session and a delightful trip, many places of interest in the neighborhood being visited. Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Goodale have returned from a two weeks' outing at Yosemite. They were accompanied through the park by Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Hauck. Dr. Hauck has just been elected superintendent of schools in Siskiyou county, and will move to Yreka. Merchants of Orange county will not close their stores on Saturday following the Fourth. This decision was arrived at Tuesday morning by the directors of the Merchants and Manufacturers association of Santa Ana. During the meeting telephone conferences were held with associations at Orange and Anaheim and it was found that the majority was not in favor of closing for Friday and Saturday. Friday is a recognized closing day by the local association and all stores will be closed over the Fourth in the county. The merchants consider that the two day closing would prove a serious inconvenience to patrons and for that reason will do business as usual on Saturday, taking only the one holiday. Fullerton people who talked with officials of the Union Oil company state that work on the other wells projected by this company will be rushed with all possible speed. The Union officials are greatly elated over the striking of this well, as it proves what they have always contended—that the y were in a great oil district—and they have proven it. Miss Elva Stock, who is a student at Cumnock academy, Los Angeles, is at home for the summer vacation. Carl Oelke came home the latter part of the week from Arizona.

Local Notes In honor of Mrs. C. E. Groat, formerly of this city but now of Los Angeles, who recently won the title of world's champion amateur lady shot, the Los Angeles Gun Club designated Tuesday as "Mrs. C. E. Groat Day," and put in a special trophy as a prize for the shooting contests that day.

In case of ties, twenty-five targets will be shot at. When Genaro Montoya applied for a divorce last week on the ground that his wife had deserted him and gone home to mother taking their baby with her, it developed that the couple were never married. Montoya produced the marriage license, the issuance of which he believed, was all that was necessary to constitute a marriage. It was issued on April 29, 1918. When the mistake was pointed out he and the young lady, whose name was Carmen Estrada, decided that they did not want to separate, consequently they hunted up Justice Cox and were married. The six-ton fire truck of the Fullerton fire department will be in commission again in about thirty days, according to the estimate of the fire boys. A new motor is being installed and a 350-gallon pumper will be added, which will greatly increase the efficiency of the apparatus. The pumper will prove of great value in fighting fires in districts which the water mains do not reach. Attached to the pump is a long The large barn on the Dr. Robert S. Rendall ranch, Fullerton, was totally destroyed by fire Thursday evening together with the contents consisting of twelve tons of baled hay, considerable harness, farm machinery and several cords of stove wood. S. S. Hill and family reside on the ranch and the fire was started by Hill's son, 5 years of age, who secured some matches and started a bonfire near the barn. Hill just put the last of this year's crop of hay in the barn. The barn was an immense structure, built forty years ago and was a landmark. It was fully insured, but no insurance on the contents. Dr. Rendall is a dentist practicing in Los Angeles. The First National Bank and Fullerton Savings Bank, both located in the same building, have just completed a new building at a cost of $35,000 to replace the one partially destroyed by an earthquake in April, 1918, and Thursday night gave a public reception which was attended by an enormous crowd. An orchestra from Anaheim and one from Pomona furnished the music. The interior of the bank is finished in Vermont marble and oak. The bank is modern throughout and equipped with new safety deposit boxes with the latest burglar alarm system. The Supreme Court of the United States having decided in its decision of June 2, that under the joint resolution of congress and the proclamation of the President, both of which were in the exercise of the war power of the federal government, the postmaster general has during the war emergency exclusive power to prescribe intrastate long distance and exchange Personal Mention Dr. J. W. Truxaw and family have moved from their residence on Broadway to the doctor's newly-purchased home on South Los Angeles. Mrs. George Beckman and sons, Godfrey and George Junior, and Mrs. Williams, are spending a few weeks at Ardenne. Mrs. Emma Polhemus is spending a few days in Venice the guest of Mrs. Nealy, formerly Miss Helen Browning. Miss Eva Merritt came up from Long Beach yesterday where she and Mrs. Merritt are spending their vacation. She will return to the beach tomorrow. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Finney and Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Sheridan leave Saturday on a two-weeks trip to Yellowstone National Park. George Kemp arrived at home the first of the week from France, where he served his country during the war. France has no attractions for him equal to those of Southern California. Mr. and Mrs. George Meyers and daughter Miss Rose have returned from a pleasant vacation at Catalina Island. L. C. Carmine, a former well known resident of this city, has returned after an absence of several years, and may again take up his residence in this city. Dr. S. J. Paschal returned Sunday afternoon from San Jacinto where he spent a number of days taking mud baths. Dr Paschal says he feels much The six-ton fire truck of the Fullerton fire department will be in commission again in about thirty days, according to the estimate of the fire boys. A new motor is being installed and a 350-gallon pumper will be added, which will greatly increase the efficiency of the apparatus. The pumper will prove of great value in fighting fires in districts which the water mains do not reach. Attached to the pump is a long piece of hose which can be dropped into a well or irrigating ditch and with the aid of the engine can throw a stream of water which will be sufficient for any ordinary fire. The new motor arrived a week ago and is being put in place as rapidly as possible. With this new motor the fire boys will have no trouble in reaching a fire at a speed of 50 miles an hour. Anaheim is not celebrating the Glorious Fourth tomorrow. It will be a sane and safe day so far as this city is concerned, but a large percentage of its patriotic and exuberant citizens will go elsewhere to twist the lion's tail and hear the eagle scream. George A. Fox, convicted of defrauding Mrs. Anna G. Walters out of $5,106.25 by a lover's wiles, may gain his liberty pending an appeal to the Appellate Court, if he produces $20,000 bonds. Fox is the man who paid $37.21 in delinquent taxes on President Wilson's Indio ranch, when he heard the property was about to be sold. Later J. P.

He was sentenced to from one to ten years in San Quentin. Lou Smith, assisted by his son, Henry, put in his back lot to corn and other vegetables and has has a good crop coming on, even though the weather has been a bit warm. Lou tells of a large quantity of potatoes having been wilfully destroyed here some time ago, when spuds were selling for five cents a pound. One hears many such stories nowadays concerning other foodstuffs. Lou is of the firm conviction that anyone guilty of such practices should be taken out at sunrise. Three leases of property in the Santa The Supreme Court of the United States having decided in its decision of June 2, that under the joint resolution of congress and the proclamation of the President, both of which were in the exercise of the war power of the federal government, the postmaster general has during the war emergency exclusive power to prescribe intrastate long distance and exchange telephone rates, the Railroad Commission Thursday dropped the proceedings it had initiated in its efforts to prevent the enforcement of the Burleson rate order. Look out for J. J. Hall, who claims to be a traveling man but is a first-class bad check artist, is the warning which comes from Ben H. Monroe, sheriff at Arapaho, Oklahoma. Sheriff C. E. Jackson has received a circular, stating that Hall poses as a traveling representative of some wholesale house and represents the checks he passes to be for expenses from his house. One sample check was drawn on a Newark, N. J., bank. "This man has passed hundreds of checks and I want him badly," wrote Sheriff Monroe. "Arrest him and notify me. He operates chiefly among the hotels and merchants." Three great days of appropriate and timely celebration have been arranged for Seal Beach Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 4, 5 and 6. The big feature will be the daily and nightly appearance of "Hellion" Thompson, the celebrated war aviator who comes from Mercury Field. The night flights will be illuminated, and in both day and night appearances all the daredevil stunts that have made aviation famous and thrilling will be performed. The wonderful World's Fair Scintillators, fireworks, dancing, palmistry and a host of other amusements will be added to make a perfect three day celebration that will be worth going many miles to see and enjoy. Will Llewellyn, assistant postmaster, is off on a two weeks' vacation, beginning today. L. B. Weber returned home last Wednesday after a tour of several months through eastern states. from a pleasant vacation at Catalina Island. L. C. Carmine, a former well known resident of this city, has returned after an absence of several years, and may again take up his residence in this city. Dr. S. J. Paschal returned Sunday afternoon from San Jacinto where he spent a number of days taking mud baths. Dr. Paschal says he feels much improved in health. George Meyers of the Palm cafe has purchased the Herman Stock residence on East Broadway. Mr. Meyers expects to make additions and improve the property. Emil Dreyfus of San Francisco, accompanied by J. C. Meyerstein, a well known attorney of the northern metropolis, transacted business here on Thursday, returning to their homes in the north next day. Dr. E. Lamhofer was in town from Fullerton the first of the week. The doctor has been in correspondence with Gen. Pershing, whom he knows personally, relative to the discharge of his son, who is now with the marines in France. He hopes to have his son join him on his Fullerton ranch in the not distant future. A. W. Danforth of Los Angeles was a business visitor in town a few days ago. Mr. Danforth was formerly a resident of this section and has a host of friends who are always glad to see him. Prof. Thomas Askin and Miss Clara Louise Newcomb were married in the Presbyterian church at South Pasadena Monday evening. The wedding was a brilliant social affair, both the bride and groom being prominent in musical circles. Prof. Askin is head of the music department of the Anaheim high school, and was recently elected assistant principal of the school. After spending the summer vacation at Balboa Mr. and Mrs. Askin will begin home life at Anaheim. Emil Dreyfus, of San Francisco, formerly a resident of this city, visited here this week. When there was talk of opening up an alley between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, south of Center, some years ago, he advocated Three leases of property in the Santa Ana canyon to the Santa Ana canyon Oil Company, composed of Santa Ana and Orange stockholders, were recorded Wednesday under which it is shown that the company controls about 500 acres of land in the vicinity of the well that it is now boring. Of the 500 acres, 287 is leased from Walter H. Crowther and others, ten acres from V. G. Yorba and the rest from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company. With this acreage under lease, the Santa Ana Canyon company will proceed to drill other wells if the well now being drilled shows up good. June drop of navel oranges has reached such proportions throughout Southern California that growers are alarmed. Growers are always worried every June and every season their predictions of a short crop have been top pessimistic, but that the drop this year is more extensive than any since 1917 is insisted by many growers. The late varieties are not damaged, it is declared. The long period of foggy days of May followed by the sudden hot wind of June 1 and a period of hot days for the first few days in June, weakened the stems of the little green fruit, says the growers and caused the drop. Leading growers predict the crop will be much below normal. Will Llewellyn, assistant postmaster, is off on a two weeks' vacation, beginning today. L. B. Weber returned home last Wednesday after a tour of several months through eastern states. Fresh from the prosses of the printer, the hunting licenses of 1919, dated July 1, have arrived and are being dispensed by the game commission through sporting goods dealers under the "commission to actual retailers" resale plan, which has proved so popular by making the licenses easy to get. No one attempts to excuse lack of license by saying he did not know where to apply for one. The new licenses bear no picture on the face except 27 miniature reproductions of the fish and game commission's typically California official seal, a cock valley quail's head in a circle, printed in khaka brown, with black lettering and lines for the personal identification of the holder, with a line for his signature which the law requires to be affixed. On the back is advice of co-operation with the forest service in its effort to curtail carelessness in campfire building and failure to properly put out fires by way of preventing general losses to the public. Deer will be the first game to come in season, August 1, in Ventura county, Santa Barbara and other counties up coast, with the lower counties following two weeks later, so the wise hunter who doesn't want to risk forgetting this important detail will get his license early and avoid the rush. Emil Dreyfus, of San Francisco, formerly a resident of this city, visited here this week. When there was talk of opening up an alley between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, south of Center, some years ago, he advocated making it a street instead, thereby giving property owners in that block two parallel street frontages. But nevertheless the alley was created. The keen foresight of Mr. Dreyfus is now being demonstrated, for the past few years business in that section has grown considerably, and an additional thoroughfare in that choice business area would now be a classy asset to the city. Mr. Dreyfus has the best interests of Anaheim at heart and the latchstring always hangs out when he visits this city. Call again, Emil. Miss Bertha Herman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Herman, was married at her home on North East street Tuesday to George Hansen of Placentia. Rev. F. W. Mitchell, former pastor of the Presbyterian church in Anaheim, performed the ceremony. The bride has for several years been one of the popular and efficient nurses at the sanitarium, the groom being a prominent rancher of Placentia. The couple left for the north by auto, expecting to visit Santa warbara, San Francisco and Lake Tahoe.

LA HABRA MEXICAN KILLED IN A FIGHT Trials to Shoot up Neighbor's Home and Got Worst of It. Portfrio Neyrete, aged 40, and Uyene Garcia have been living at La Habra, packing house, and Sunday night both, it is said, appeared to be "liquored up" somewhat, and the packing house manager told Neyrete to go home and keep quiet, and thought the Mexican had done so until about 10 o'clock, when several shots were heard. Neyrete, it seems, had fired several shots from his revolver into Garcia's house. Garcia didn't like this manner of behavior, so loaded up his own gun and came out to engage in battle, which he did. Then Garcia disappeared and has not since been seen. Neyrete was found with several bullet wounds and bleeding profusely. One bullet had passed through the abdomen from front to back, and one had passed through the knee, besides others had cut the abdomen and intestines. The wounded man was given first aid, then brought to the county hospital, arriving at 1:30 Monday morning. An operation was found necessary but this failed to save him. As the warm weather and long working hours of July are not conducive to good attendance at Farm Center meetings, it has been decided to discontinue them for the month, unless some special issue arises to warrant a called meeting. The Farm Advisor will visit each center during the month as usual, making farm visits where called upon. The various centers are planning field demonstrations which will take the place of the regular monthly night meetings.
