STORE Another Victim Of Cyanide Gas George Huntington Instantly Killed by Fumes on the H. O. Henderson Ranch Tuesday Night—Leaves a Wife and Three Small Children. The deadly cyanide gas has claimed another victim. While fumigating on the H. O. Henderson ranch south of town Tuesday night George Huntington was overcome by the fumes and died almost instantly. The accident happened about eleven o'clock. Huntington was engaged in filling a fumigating apparatus from a cyanide drum when a quantity of the gas escaped. He inhaled some of the fumes, which caused instant suffocation. The body was brought to Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors and Coroner Brown notified. An inquest was held by the coroner yesterday. Huntington was one of Anaheim's best known young men, and exceedingly well liked by all his acquaintances. He was a son of L. Z. Huntington, the Westside nurseryman, was married, leaving a wife and three small children. His tragic death, at the age of only 29 years, is sad news to his many friends. A short time ago in partnership with William and Carl Oelke, he purchased a fumigating outfit, and they were working together at the time of his death.

Steward and family returned to their home on West Center street Wednesday evening last they found their home had been entered by burglars and that the entire house had been ransacked. Every room had been entered and closets and bureau drawers had been turned topsy turvy by the thieves in search for articles of value. The thieves were evidently after money and costly jewelry, as nothing of any great value was found missing. Mr. Steward wisely placed his valuables in a bank vault before going on his vacation and by so doing suffered very little loss by the raid of his unwelcome visitors. Some articles of jewelry belonging to his children were taken. Nothing in the shape of clothing was taken, although Mr. Steward says several of his suits were within reach of the thieves. The miscreants pried open a window and upon gaining admittance to the premises raised all the window curtains and evidently made a leisurely search for valuables. As the family was away for ten days it is not known just when the burglars called. A farmer purchased his wife while trying to strike oil in flowable local field.

Mr. Steadman killed a number of young rabbits, along with Charley Koehler and N. T. Tedford, who drove up with their families on Sunday morning for a brief outing at the ranch. While the gentlemen were hunting rabbits on Sunday evening, the ladies of the party viewed the splendors of the sunset, which are beautiful in the upper valley. They stood at the door of the ranch house, when Miss Irma's attention was attracted to a wriggling rattler just outside the house, in the act of preparing to strike. She screamed, as young ladies do when they see a reptile. The ladies armed themselves with stones and a miscellaneous collection of farming utensils and despatched the snake, which sported eight rattles.

Nemetz of Los Angeles was a business visitor in town on Monday. Frank is engaged in the tire business and is getting along well. Frank occasionally quotes poetry and regarding "A cheerful smile," hands you this: Smile and the world smiles with you, 'Knock,' and you go alone; For the cheerful grin Will let you in Where the kicker is never known. Growl, and the way looks dreary, Laugh, and the path is bright, For a welcome smile Brings sunshine, while A frown shuts out the light. Sing, and the world's harmonious, Grumble, and things go wrong, And all the time You are out of rhyme With the busy, bustling throng, Kick, and there's trouble brewing, Whistle and life is gay, And the world's in tune Like a day in June And the clouds all melt away.
