So he mixed up three or four quarts of honey, a few pounds of raisins and a few other ingredients, and the blamed stuff fermented. After it quit bubbling it had a kind of fizzy way about it and tickled as it went down, but tasted pretty good. So the aforesaid young man put it in a 5-gallon demijon, tied the cork in, and put it away to "age." But when he came home the next day his fizzy fluid was gone, blowed up, scattered to the four winds, as it were, and the demijon lay around on the floor in about a million little pieces. Next time—but there will be no next time, for he has no more honey and no more raisins.

Both machines were considerably damaged and Mrs. G. H. Richardson of Fullerton was catapulted through the windshield, receiving several cuts and bruises. Mr. Richardson, husband of the injured woman, was driving south on Lemon, while G. Secrest of this city was going west on Broadway. Each driver thought he had the right of way and supposed the other would slow up, the consequence being that the Secrest car struck Richardson's machine amidships and the two were badly mixed. Both were in need of extensive repairs, it was found, when they were separated. A small boy in the Richardson car was also thrown out by the impact but escaped with minor injuries.

Mrs. Weisel was 72 years of age and had been a resident of Anaheim 27 years. She was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. WILL MAKE ANALYSIS Dr. Truxaw is in receipt of a letter from Dr. Telfer, district health officer, at Los Angeles, advising him that the pathological laboratory at Berkeley will make a chemical analysis of specimens taken at the autopsy upon the bodies of Andrew J. Hunter and his son by Dr. Truxaw several weeks ago. The Berkeley pathologists recently declined to cause an analysis of these specimens to be made, holding that they did not wish to be drawn into a court action in reference thereto. They have evidently changed their minds, and a report of the analysis is looked for within a day or two. The analysis may possibly clear up the uncertainty regarding the deaths of Hunter and his son. Drs. McDaniels and Telfer are quoted as attributing the deaths to spinal meningitis, while Drs. Truxaw and Johnston are not prepared to admit the correctness of that diagnosis. BAND CONCERT Following is the program for the band concert tonight at 9 o'clock. The concert will be given on the Broadway side of the library building. Prof. E. B. Tozier is the leader. 1.

Gilsinger admits that he denies the existence of partnership between the plaintiffs and himself and that he has refused to tell them anything about the business other than what he would tell a casual friend who inquired about his success. The Anaheim Union High School district has done the expected, and yesterday filed a petition with the supervisors for annexation of the Garden Grove and Centralia school districts. Eight Centralia district students and seventeen from the Garden Grove district have been attending the Anaheim high school, it is stated, and on this ground the annexation is asked. The Santa Ana high school board has already filed a petition to annex the Garden Grove district, and as a number of Grove students also attend Orange high it may be that Orange will also ask for annexation of the Garden Grove district. The outcome is expected to be that Garden Grove will protest all the petitions, and pay for the education of its students at whatever high school they wish to attend. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jacobson, of 1980 Elden avenue, Los Angeles, former residents of Santa Ana, and their daughter and two nieces, returning in an automobile from a trip to the north, had a narrow escape from death in a spectacular accident at Santa Barbara a few days ago. While turning from Hollister avenue into Mission street, the steering knuckle of their machine broke, and in her confusion, Mrs. Jacobson, who was driving, put her foot on the accelerator, and sent the car bounding over the curb. It vaulted over a stone wall and stopped at an angle of 35 deg., in a sunken garden of a private home. The occupants remained with the car and were not injured. The machine was hoisted back to the road by an electric derrick. Fifteen or twenty years ago, Jacobson was a member of the firm of Jacobson Bros., harness dealers, in Santa Ana.

G. Ames. The complaint alleges the plaintiffs and defendant formed a co-partnership on April 7 for the conduct of the market, but that Gilsginger has excluded plaintiffs from the business, has refused to give an accounting of its affairs and refused to give plaintiffs information about the business, that he did not use plaintiff's slaughter-house as agreed but instead bought his meats already dressed, that he had bought from wholesale dealers on credit without consulting plaintiffs, had repudiated the partnership agreement and denied its existence and had sold some of the fixtures of the market without giving an accounting therefor. Plaintiffs further charge that a certain meat cutter had embezzled certain moneys of the co-partnership and defendant had not forced him to render an accounting therefor. The complaint asks that a receiver be appointed for the business and the bond of Receiver T. L. Smith was filed. B. A. Johnston is conducting the People's Service Station at 202 South Lemon street, which autoists should bear in mind when desiring anything in his line.

BONIFACE'S CHURCH Edward G. Heyling and Miss Mae Marsh United in Marriage. Edward G. Heyling and his bride, Miss Mae Marsh, kept news of their contemplated marriage pretty well under cover as the wedding guests were only invited Monday and notified that the ceremony would take place at 7 o'clock that morning. They were married at St. Bnoiface's church, Rev. Father Browne performing the ceremony. Only a few near relatives were present.

This is about three times the value of the cotton crop of 1914 and is twice the value of the crop of 1913, which had the highest value of record. The computation has just been made at the close of the cotton year, by the United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Crop Estimates, based on average monthly prices received by growers and on monthly marketings. Getting one hand caught in the blocks while at work at an oil derrick on the West Coast lease, near Fullerton, being drawn up several feet in the derrick and hanging there for some little time until released by fellow workmen, was the harrowing experience of Sid Young, oil worker. He was taken to the Fullerton hospital for treatment. Some of his fingers were broken and his hand crushed and bruised, causing intense pain. The attending physician states that the fingers will be saved. There is no foundation in fact for several complaints which have been made recently that over-weight boxes of apricots were being pitted at Orange county drying camps, according to George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, today. After several complaints had been made, alleging that pitters were being paid for 50-pound boxes which weighed more than 50 pounds, Mr. McPhee visited several local camps and weighed many boxes of fruit. Some of the boxes were called 50-pound boxes, he found, when they actually weighed less than fifty pounds, and only at one camp were the boxes over-weight, and then only by two or three pounds. Practically all apricots are correctly weighed. McPhee found, but as much of the fruit is small, some workers are not able to earn as much as formerly at the rate of wages generally being paid.
