ALL COLORS Personal Mention Timothy Brownhill, editor of the Puente Journal, was in town this week accompanied by his wife. They were making an auto tour of Southern California. Ben Yorba was a business visitor in town a few days ago. He reports encouraging developments being made on his oil leases, and says a gusher would be just about right. J. T. Johnson was in town from his home north of town Friday transacting business. Mr. Johnson has a seven-year-old valencia grove in fine condition, and has been reaping a splendid harvest from his trees. J. P. Kennedy of Pittsburgh came in Saturday on a visit to his brother, Dad Kennedy, and expects to spend a couple of months enjoying the sights of Southern California. There is a possibility, Dad says, that Joe will fall violently in love with our climate and decide to remian here the balance of his days. There was considerable contrast, Mr. Kennedy declared, between the weather in Pittsburgh when he left that city and the weather in Anaheim when he arrived here. Harry D. Riley went down to San Diego Monday night to attend the funeral of Rupert J. Ruddock, who died a day or two previously of pneumonia. Mr. Ruddock was an old-time friend of Mr. Riley, having come to California from Michigan with him in 1912.

Rea, Anaheim pioneer, who died last August. Before his death, according to the complaint, Rea disposed of property valued at $90,000. The action is the usual procedure when an estate of consequence is distributed before death. A. W. Edwards, better known as Judge Edwards, who for more than a year has been advertising manager on a Fullerton paper, is having a round with the state over a claim for industrial compensation insurance under the Employers' Liability act. On the 14th day of last October the judge was seriously injured when run down by an automobile at the intersection of Spadra road and Commonwealth avenue, Fullerton, and spent two whole months in the hospital being mended. He put in a claim for compensation under the state act and was turned down by the state department. He appealed from the decision to the Industrial Accident Commission, and that body held a session in the Fullerton city hall to go into the matter and review the case, Thursday.

Wilson at the corner of Tustin and Chapman, Orange, the consideration being reported at $52,500. This is $5250 per acre. There is a large house on the property. A feature of the deal is that the high price is being paid by a man who has long been a resident of the county and who, perhaps, is as well versed in the values of land as any man in the county. It is not outside capital that is being put into the ranch. The American Legion is giving a dance at Fisher's hall tomorrow (Friday) night, with Fellinge's orchestra furnishing the music.

He covered the bones, and Wednesday notified Constable Elliott. A. E. Koepsel, deputy coroner, will make an investigation. Lobo said the bones were about two feet below the bottom of the ditch. The bones may be old Indian bones. In a field not far from that point, a few years ago, several skeletons were plowed up. Frederick von Hagen of the Golden State tract, was reported Saturday to be near death at San Rafael as the result of an automobile accident in which he was pinned underneath his overturned car and two other men who were with him were also injured. C. Hackfield and A. T. Plegel, who were with von Hagen, were painfully hurt. Plegel is a neighbor of von Hagen, both owning ranches about four miles northeast of Anaheim. Hackfield is not known at Anaheim, so far as could be learned. Von Hagen was driving the automobile when the accident occurred. The car struck a muddy spot on a sharp curve near Novato, on the state highway, and overturned.

Manriquez of San Juan Capistrano and Tiofolo Manriquez of Bakersfield. Eden & Koepsel are attorneys for the aunt. Superior Judge R. Y. Williams went out to Olive Tuesday along with attorneys and litigants and looked over an orange orchard that was fumigated last year, and upon what he saw there and upon what he heard in the courtroom he gave judgment of $992.07 to Paine & Carnwall, fumigators, against J. E. Schumacher, orchardist. Schumacher had refused to pay the fumigation, alleging that the work was done in a careless and unsatisfactory manner. The judge granted the fumigators the full amount of the bill together with $70.60 interest. The petition of Schumacher's cross complaint, in which he asked $1700 damages for what he said was damage to his crop by reason of improper fumigation was denied.

John Pfenniger, the well known northside ranch, will soon begin erecting a fence around his walnut grove. The section to the north is settling up so rapidly that Mr. Pfeninger feels as though he would like to have his acreage within an enclosure thus preventing trespassing. Mr. Pfeninger is a close weather observer and while the country has just received a good soaking he believes there will be more rain this month and next. The operating permits of the A. R. G.

The city trustees of Orange are calling an election for the purpose of voting $80,000 for a new city hall. The bonds will be voted without doubt, and it is not believed the project will be held up because the stubborn citizens cannot agree on a site. Such a spirit only exists in towns where the people are divided and each faction is ready to toss a monkey wrench into the machinery if the wheels are not turning according to their dictation. By a mistake made in payment on a check on Nov. 7, the Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Fullerton is loser $500. The matter was up for decision before Judge West of the superior court.

Francisco Arballo was the defendant in the case. He denied having received the money. Testimony of the bank was that a good many checks were cashed on Nov. 7, and it was not until a balance was sought for the day taht it was found that the $500 was missing. Judge West found that the evidence was not sufficient to satisfy him that the overpayment was to Arballo. Marks & Launer appeared as attorneys for the plaintiff and Head & Rutan for the defendant. H. A. Dickel has returned to his home in this city after an absence of six weeks in the north, where he visited relatives and friends in San Francisco, Oakland, Napa and other towns.

Bailey of Phoenix, Ariz., arrived on Tuesday afternoon for a short visit with relatives. She has been with relatives and friends in Los Angeles for several weeks past, and will shortly return to her home in Phoenix. T. E. Stephenson, chairman county central committee, and County Clerk J. M. Backs came over from Santa Ana Tuesday night to attend the Republican meeting. Chairman Benjamin of the board of trade Monday night appointed a committee to select a captain and assist in the organization of a national guard company. The committee is composed of J. H. Whitaker, D. Jessurun, H. D. Riley, Dr. H. A. Johnston and Paul Hester. The first move looking toward the elimination of profiteering in Anaheim was made when members of the fair play committee of the board of trade proceeded to investigate alleged cases of profiteering. In case the committee finds any dealer to be a profiteer they will denounce him publicly. Three independent members of the board of trade compose the committee.

Prices will not be as low again for many months REPUBLICANS MEET AND START CAMPAIGN Select Finance Committee and Call Meeting for Formation of Club. Answering the call of J. H. Whitaker, chairman of the ways and means committee, a number of republicans met at the Mother Colony rooms Tuesday evening. The chief object of the meeting was to take the initial steps toward financing the party in the campaign. The national committee has asked Orange county to raise $3900, half of which is to be used locally, the other half to be sent to headquarters. This sum is divided among the central sections of the county, and Hays of the national committee, has decreed that no large sums of money will be accepted from corporations or individuals, consequently the campaign must be financed by small sums donated by party members. Judge Howard was elected chairman of the meeting and J. H. Whitaker secretary. The method of raising money was quickly decided by the adoption of a motion to divide the township into four sections cornering at the intersection of Center and Los Angeles streets, with two solicitors working each section. These with Chairman Whitaker, will form the finance committee. The chair appointed A. C. Black as solicitor in the southeast section, A. W. Wood in the southwest, Paul Taggert in the northwest and F. M. Eden in the northeast. Each of these committeemen will appoint his own associate. The committee will meet at Chairman Whitaker's was on file Monday, signed by Superior Judge Williams and substituting Aurilla D. Wagner, administratrix of Wagner's estate, as plaintiff in the action. The suit involves a promissory note for $2500, signed by Lewis on February 25, 1913, and payable at Pasadena. Lewis gave Wagner as security 9000 shares of stock in the Atlas Gold Mines Company, which later forfeited its charter, rendering the collateral valueless. Judgment in the sum of $124.25 has been entered by Justice Cox in favor of R. W. Rogers, expert printing press erector, who sued R. W. Ernest, owner of the Anaheim Plaindealer, for $129.25, alleging the amount to be due as an unpaid balance on $398, which Rogers said was a reasonable sum for Rogers' services in transporting a press from the Register building to Anaheim and installing it at Ernests' plant. The action was tried last week and Justice Cox took the case under advisement. The court allowed the plaintiff $14.30 as costs. Rogers was represented by Attorney S. B. Kaufman, while Attorneys Tipon and Cailor of Anaheim were counsel for the defendant. First Church of Christ, Scientist, corner Philadelphia and Chartres streets.

Colonel House's success in discovering one Moses in the bullrushes hardly justifies him in hunting ground Angeles streets, with two solicitors working each section. These with Chairman Whitaker, will form the finance committee. The chair appointed A. C. Black as solicitor in the southeast section, A. W. Wood in the southwest, Paul Taggert in the northwest and F. M. Eden in the northeast. Each of these committeemen will appoint his own associate. The committee will meet at Chairman Whitaker's office at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon when lists of names will be furnished them. County Clerk Backs will prepare the lists and send them over today. Anaheim township is short one member of the county central committee by reason of the removal of E. N. Cook to Hollywood, Marion Eden and Tom Morgan being the two now serving. It was decided that a man be selected for recommendation to the central committee at the meeting called for the formation of a club at the board of trade rooms next Wednesday. County Chairman T. E. Stephenson announced that the central committee had decided to ask for an auxiliary committee of one from each precinct to work in conjunction with the central committee. This matter also will be considered at the meeting next Wednesday night. After fixing upon Wednesday evening, Feb. 18, as the date for the organization of a republican club the meeting adjourned. All republicans are earnestly requested to attend and add their names to the roll. That Charles H. Wagner has died since he instituted a suit for $2500 against H. H. Lewis on January 30 was revealed through an order which Colonel House's success in discovering one Moses in the bullrushes hardly justifies him in hunting around in the tall grasses for another.
