Why Men of this City Rush for the New Fall Sletsons Why Men of this City Rush for the New Fall Sletsons We are finding out daily what a great host of men in this town are bent on STETSON quality. The Fall Stetsons are attracting hundreds to our stores. "A STETSON was cheap even at a high price," they tell us. But since we are selling the new Fall Stetsons at 30 pct less than last Fall's prices, there is double reason for demanding a Stetson. When we fit a Stetson to a man's individual appearance, we know he's also getting full money's worth—which accounts for his coming back year after year. "By All Means Get a Fit." F. A. YUNGBLUTH The Home of Hart, Schaffner & Marx Clothes Miss Katherine Dresser and Misses Dorothy and Elsalle Shellens went to Balboa Tuesday for a short sojourn at that popular resort. Hunters will be interested in the announcement that the opening season for doves begins today. Birds are not so plentiful as they have been in former years, but shooting will be good in various localities. C. L. Head and his daughter, Miss Glady Head, left Tuesday to spend a few days at Catalina island. After taking in the sight of the island they will return the latter part of the week. Auguste Navaro was shot and instantly killed by Antonio Mendoza on the Bastanchury ranch Monday. The men had been quarreling for some time, presumably over a woman. Mendoza disappeared and officers are now combing the county for him. Nearly all the automobile tradesmen of the county went down to San Diego where a big blowout was held Saturday and Sunday. There was a barbecue Sunday and a program of sports was pulled off at Tia Juana. The Orange County Auto Trades band went down and led the parade on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Oelke, newly-weds, were serenaded Friday evening at their home at Olive and Broadway by a number of friends. The serenaders were invited in by Mr. and Mrs. Oelke, and after partaking of refreshments they presented the bride and groom with a beautiful chocolate set. A 17-year-old La Habra boy named Peake, was held up in an alley of that town at 10 o'clock Saturday morning and robbed of $35, which he was taking to the bank. The robber had his face muffled in a handkerchief, but the boy believes he was a Mexican. Offi- The brick and tile Beebe building on East Center street, adjoining the Southland hotel, has been completed, and a lunch sign now swings over the door. There has been much speculation relative to this building and the business it was expected to house, but curiosity is now satisfied. Lloyd Ross, having graduated from the Anaheim high school, is preparing to enter Fullerton junior college. Lloyd has been in charge of the printing department at the high school during the past year, and made good on the job. He is a bright young man, and will merit success anywhere. County Motorcycle Officer O. K. Carr sustained a second fracture of his right ankle Wednesday when stopping his motorcycle in front of the postoffice at Santa Ana. Carr fractured both ankles and received other injuries last April when he crashed into an automobile driven by George Shoebridge. He has brought suit against the John McFadden company, employer of Shoebridge, for $5000 personal injuries and $700 for his motorcycle. Hans Larsen, of the Sanitary Bread Shop, has purchased the new Anaheim bakery, on North Los Angeles street, where he has one of the finest ovens in the county and will conduct the same as a first-class bakery. Larson will also continue the Sanitary Bread Shop at its present location. He will dispose of the restaurant which has been run in connection with the new Anaheim bakery and will cater to the patronage of the public as a first-class baker. Last January A. G. McKey purchased a residence property on Melrose street, and immediately began improving it by working before and after office hours. He planted a vine and a fig tree, as well as numerous other varieties of fruit, and finally concluded A 17-year-old La Habra boy named Peake, was held up in an alley of that town at 10 o'clock Saturday morning and robbed of $35, which he was taking to the bank. The robber had his face muffled in a handkerchief, but the boy believes he was a Mexican. Officers throughout the northern part of the county are on the lookout for him. The first members' meeting of the Chamber of Commerce since its reorganization will be held at the high school auditorium tonight. George H. Knox, president of the Knox Institute of individual efficiency, of Los Angeles, will address the meeting. Mr. Knox is a lecturer of wide reputation, and his address will be instructive as well as interesting. Louis Danz, of the Danz Music company, hopes to be able to give at least five grand concerts in Anaheim this fall and winter. He is in communication with Mme. Schuman-Heink, Olga Steele and also John Phillip Sousa. Music lovers are assured of a treat in these concerts and Mr. Danz is entitled to the support of the entire community for bringing these great artists here. George R. Curtis, paving contractor of Santa Ana, has purchased the asphalt concrete mixing plant of the Los Angeles Paving company in this city. The purchase is taken as an indication that he is preparing to bid for the asphalt concrete base and surface work the county is planning to do. Bids will be opened on the 13th of this month for several miles of base and top work in the third supervisorial district. Arthur Pence is out again after a two weeks' illness with mumps. He and his wife and three children went to Laguna two weeks ago for a vacation. Mumps overtook him and his three children and he was in bed two weeks. He has purchased a home at Garden Grove, and is engaged with one of the drilling crews for the Amalgamated Oil Co. He has not yet returned to work, but will probably do so in a day or two. Last January A. G. McKey purchased a residence property on Melrose street, and immediately began improving it by working before and after office hours. He planted a vine and a fig tree, as well as numerous other varieties of fruit, and finally concluded he had a cozy home that needed no further improvements. But he was not destined to enjoy it very long as a party from Orange came along last week and offered him such an advantageous price for the property that he couldn't resist. He sold it, and is now wondering where he will find a roof to shelter his wife and babies. Walnuts have not been damaged by the warm weather of the past two or three days and there is no probability of the crop being damaged by hot weather at this time, according to the observation of a walnut grower. It was reported in some sections of the county that nuts were hurt by the heat, but the report is declared to have no foundation. In the first place, the weather has not been warm enough to do damage even were the nuts just commencing to form, and with the nuts now at maturity no damage could possibly be done the crop, although the trees might be hurt a little in the opinion of this grower. With the acquisition by the Ord Land company, of which P. A. Stanton is president and principal owner, of the tract known as the "Island," or sand-pit, at Anaheim Landing, a portion of the tract fronting on the bay has been subdivided and lots are now being sold. Anaheim Landing has been a popular resort, for sixty years but the land has been tied up in litigation. In the new subdivision paved streets have been put in and a good water service installed. The lots have real water frontage, running as they do directly into the bay. It is said that one can build a cottage on the bay front and fish from the front porch, the street frontage being at the rear. Miss Clementine Fossek, who for the past three years has been living at Juneau, Alaska, came in a couple of weeks ago on a visit to her father and other relatives. On the way down she stopped at Portland, Oregon, to visit a has been run in connection with the new Anaheim bakery and will cater to the patronage of the public as first-class baker. Six months in the county jail for bootlegging and six months more for carrying a concealed weapon was the sentence meted out by Justice of the Peace Cox to Simon Bargus, Mexican, of the Wintersburg-Smeltzer district. Bargus was arrested Saturday evening by Deputy Sheriff Roy Ballard. According to Ballard, Bargus was peddling wine o'nthe highway. Ballard searched him and found a .38 caliber police special revolver. A quart bottle of wine and the revolver which Ballard found on the Mexican were confiscated. Judge Cox told the defendant that as soon as one term expired he could start on the next one. The Mexican thanked Judge Cox for granting him the privilege of working on the chain gang. The greatest school of albacore in southern California's fishing history is running off Point Loma. Fishermen who sighted the school first on Saturday said the great fish were running close to the surface, and so thickly the water "seemed to be alive with them." San Pedro canneries have virtually commandeered all fishing boats in the harbor and rushed them to the spot, which is thirty-five miles northwest of the point. Another great school was reported off Santa Cruz. Reports to the harbor Tuesday night said tons of fish had been caught by the San Pedro fleet and boats from San Pedro had been chartered to aid in bringing the catch to San Pedro and Long Beach. The school will be off the Orange county coast today. That Captain Neb M. Holderman, of Co. G., 32nd regiment, regular army, may be transferred from the Presidio at San Francisco to some other post, is the word brought by Mrs. L. B. Tabott, mother of Mrs. Holderman, who is at home, after a visit of six months with Mr. and Mrs. Holderman. The regiment is being broken up to many Patt attended Sunday, tween 12 present, of the co-lodges co-ment pro bring ther families to pass ther games an a variety young, men going were kild alities to ther game program that kept pleasing little waith ther Three er, a bar Chartress in the villa by appear break off When O'sponse t server, h to climb pearance morning sequenti ol ther clo been sup his landi sixty day developed Baker d Missouri old hen; was speci ptal for and ther tally blit A holdup and an attempted robbery in Placentia this week emphasize the immediate necessity of a night patrol. The town is growing fast. Unemployed from various parts of the country and the litterant eastern tramps are moving this way. Idle minds and empty pockets are dangerous. Many crimes might be committed in a few nights, it is said. A temporary appointment of a peace officer is wanted at once for the town's protection and the county board of supervisors are to be petitioned to make this position a permanent one, it is said. Fullerton's American Legion post is arranging to conduct the funeral of Jesse L. Foster, Orange county soldier who lost his life in the Argonne. A telegram from the war department reaching Fullerton said that the body of Foster had arrived at Hoboken and would be shipped immediately upon receipt of reply. The reply was sent and it is assumed that the flag be-decked casket is on its way to Fullerton. Foster was the son of Mrs. Ella M. Apgar, who lives on the Fullerton-Garden Grove road. Harry Clark, of Fullerton, said he saw Foster fall and was the first to reach his side in the Argonne. Foster was a member of a company in which were many Orange county men. Miss Clementine Fossek, who for the past three years has been living at Juneau, Alaska, came in a couple of weeks ago on a visit to her father and other relatives. On the way down she stopped at Portland, Oregon, to visit a brother, and at that port took a steamer for San Pedro. Miss Fossek intended to sail on the Alaska, and while purchasing a ticket learned that that vessel stopped at San Francisco. As she did not want to stop at the northern port she changed her passage to the Admiral Evans. The Alaska, as readers of newspapers know, was wrecked on this trip, and the Admiral Evans passed through debris from the wreckage in following it up. Miss Fossek may return to Alaska, but she will spend at least a year in California. Oscar Schneider and Miss Evelyn Kennedy were married at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Schneider, on North Los Angeles street Monday afternoon, Rev. Geo. Husser, of Los Angeles, performing the ceremony. Miss Anita Kennedy, sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid, and the groom was attended by his brother, Walter Schneider. The groom is a native of Anaheim and the bride has been a resident here for a number of years. Both have a wide circle of warm friends, and the good wishes of all are extended them. They left on Monday evening on a short honey-moon trip. Oscar is connected with the Schneider meat market, and is one of the most popular young businessmen of the city. That Captain Neb M. Holderman, of Co. G, 32nd regiment, regular army, may be transferred from the Presidio at San Francisco to some other post, is the word brought by Mrs. L. B. Tabott, mother of Mrs. Holderman, who is at home, after a visit of six months with Mr. and Mrs. Holderman. The regiment is being broken up to fill up other regiments and a number of the officers have already been transferred. Discharges from the army made possible through a recent war department order have been so numerous that many of the divisions are said to be on the verge if depletion. To counteract this an active campaign may have to be instituted, according to reports. Captain Holderman may be assigned a new post at any time. Where he may be sent to is unknown. The Motor Transit company is continuing its fight before the railroad commission for right to carry passengers between Santa Ana and Anaheim and is under orders from the railroad commission to deposit with the Guaranty Trust and Savings bank in Los Angeles all money collected in fares for this service until a second decision is made following a rehearing in the matter. If decision is in favor of the Crown stage the funds are to be turned over to it, otherwise the money to be paid to the Motor Transit. The order of the commission was made following a conference of representatives of the Crown Stage and the Motor Transit company in San Francisco. Depositing of the funds is retroactive to August 15. Date for the rehearing will be set in the near future by the railroad commission. August Sale OF BLANKETS bags over 400 pairs of high Grade Blankets 95, 3.95, 4.95, 5.95 FILKENSTEIN'S KLENSTEIN'S Many Pythian Knights from this city attended the picnic at the county park Sunday. It was estimated that between 1200 and 1500 Pythians were present, practically all of the lodges of the county being represented. The lodges co-operated in the entertainment program, the purpose being to bring the lodge brothers and their families into closer relationship and to pass the day at play. Two baseball games and other picnic sports offered a variety of entertainment for old and young, many of the fathers and mothers going back to the days when they were kiddies by throwing conventionalities to the wind and indulging in the games and sports offered on the program. Feature were going all day that kept the plenickers engaged in pleasing pastime. The weather was a little warm, but interfered in no way with the pleasure of the party. Three or four weeks ago E. L. Baker, a barber, whose home was on East Chartres street, startled the residents in the vicinity of the Santa Fe station by appearing in their midst at the break of day, clad only in his nightie. When Officer Baxter found him in response to an S. O. S. from some observer, he was making frantic efforts to climb a palm tree. To all appearances he was still soused on the morning after the night before, consequently after he had slept one round of the clock, remembered his name and been supplied with suitable raiment by his landlord, Judge Howard gave him sixty days in the county jail. It soon developed, however, that the stuff Baker drank was more potent than Missouri white mule or West Virginia old hen. He was a very sick man, and was speedily moved to the county hospital for treatment. He is still there and the news now comes that he is totally blind. William Redfern, well known rancher at La Habra, was killed in a wreck on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad at Gale, near Grand Junction, Colo., Wednesday, and his son, Donald, aged 15, had an arm broken. Redfern was one of two men killed in the wreck and the boy was one of about fifty injured. Redfern and his son were on their way home from an eastern trip when the wreck occurred. "Dad killed. What shall I do?" This telegram came from Donald to his mother at La Habra. A later message brought word from the boy to the effect that he had an arm broken. He was instructed to have the body brought on to La Habra. Redfern was a resident at La Habra for a number of years and was well known and highly respected in his community. For a time he operated a garage at La Habra. Having captured the pennant in the southern league by overwhelmingly defeating Santa Ana Sunday, the Anaheim Elks' baseball team will play Pasadena in the first of three games for the championship of the two leagues at Brookside park Sunday. Pasadena easily won the pennant in its league. It did the same a year ago, then dropped two straight to Anaheim, and Billy Knott says history will repeat itself and only two games will be played in this contest. The winner will later play the champion of the two northern leagues for the state championship. The game Sunday with Santa Ana was tame and devoid of excitement, being too one-sided. The score was 10 to 2, but the boys anticipate a lively scrap next Sunday. A number of rooters will accompany the boys to Pasadena. W. L. Harbough, who was held in the county jail for a week after being picked up in a dazed state of mind, is now at his home in San Jose. The victim of aphasia was taken to his home been supplied with suitable ralment by his landlord, Judge Howard gave him sixty days in the county jail. It soon developed, however, that the stuff Baker drank was more potent than Missouri white mule or West Virginia old hen. He was a very sick man, and was speedily moved to the county hospital for treatment. He is still there and the news now comes that he is totally blind. The first of the Birch Oil company contests involving payment of taxes will be brought back to the superior court of this county for trial. Monday the supreme court rendered a decision reversing the decision of Judge W. H. Thomas granting a non-suit in the case. In this case the Birch company asked for return of $19,143 in taxes. The company alleged that the county officials in placing what it considered a high assessment upon its property had been unfair. When the case came up for trial, the superior court held that the oil company in presenting its evidence had failed to establish a case. In other words, judgment for the county was awarded without having the evidence for the county presented. The upper court, according to a dispatch from Frisco, holds that the non-suit judgment was entered based upon the wrong section of the law. Local county officials today said they would be unable to comment upon the matter until the opinion of the upper court is received. However, the decision of the upper court does not mean that the taxes must be returned. It merely means that the case will be re-tried. The fun you get out of life is largely represented by the misery you don't put into life. W. L. Harbough, who was held in the county jail for a week after being picked up in a dazed state of mind, is now at his home in San Jose. The victim of aphasia was taken to his home by E. E. Stevens, garage man of Long Beach, who identified him. Harbough went to Stevens' garage about a month ago and rented parking space with the announced intention of starting a transfer business. Then he disappeared. He was picked up at Oceanside on August 19 by a state parole officer. Stevens notified Harbough's wife immediately after identifying him and it was reported that Mrs. Harbough was on the way to Santa Ana to take charge of her husband. She failed to arrive and it was not until last Saturday that Stevens learned that she could not get here on account of illness. He then volunteered to return Harbough to his home. FIRST SPIRITUALIST CHURCH Mrs. Hattie Lang, of Los Angeles, will be the speaker and give messages from flowers, Thursday, September 1, at 7:30 p.m., at 204 North Los Angeles street. Come and bring your friends. Every one welcome. After a wife has become a habit she has to go away for a while in order to be appreciated at home. The way to get prosperity is to think prosperity.
