Building a house of worship in a day is an accomplishment that even Anaheim can boast of, although mushroom houses are common here, and things are done in the way of improvements with incredible speed. Monday morning many truck loads of lumber were stacked around the vacant lot belonging to Otto Reese, at the corner of Helena and Chestnut streets, and the evening of the same day the lot was covered by a substantial auditorium which will be devoted to church purposes. A small army of men attacked the stacks of lumber in the morning, and before the five o'clock whistle blew they had converted the raw material into a building.
This house is called a tabernacle by the Christian church people, who own it. It has a sixty foot frontage on Helena street and a depth of one hundred feet on the Chestnut street side. It is only a rough structure, designed for temporary use, as the congregation found itself without a home when the old church site, at the corner of Helena and Center streets, was sold last week to a purchaser who expects to erect a business block on the ground. It was necessary to find temporary quarters until the new church was built, consequently the members decided to erect a tabernacle. When it became known that such a structure was contemplated the Carpenters' Union decided to build it without money and without price, and the Painters' Union notified the church people that if they wanted the structure painted, they would declare a holiday and paint the building without cost to the congregation. The The Carpenters' Union declared Monday a holiday, all work on other buildings ceasing for the day, and in a body the members tackled the huge piles of lumber. Forty members of the union reported for duty. This force was augmented by twenty members of the church who knew how to drive a nail or steer a saw, and the building grew almost as rapidly as it would had the genius of Aladdin's lamp been employed to erect it. A chicken dinner served by the ladies of the Christian church, rewarded the willing workers engaged on the structure.
Vawter, the famous evangelist, will be the first to hold services in the tabernacle. He is to hold a series of revival meetings here, but the church people will hold regular services in it until the new church is built.

Miss Elizabeth Kuchel Passes on to Her Reward in Heaven
Naught remains but memory, memory of a sweet soul forever gone, memory of the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still. The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Once again the pen drops down; the eyes are blinded with tears.
Miss Elizabeth Kuchel, daughter of one of the pioneer families of this city, passed away on Sunday evening at half past 8 o'clock at a private sanitaryarium from the effects of a malady from which she could not recover. Death came peacefully while she slept. A few hours before the end members of the family were gathered at her bedside, and she conversed with them, shaking hands with them and bidding them farewell. A short time before she passed away advices came that she was sinking, and when members of the family reached her, the soul had left the emaciated body and winged its flight into the skies.
Apparently in her usual good health and spirits, she was stricken with terror by the announcement that she was suffering from an incurable malady, and while everything that mortals could do to save her was done, she passed on gradually into the shadow of the valley of death. Filled with a resolve to be well again, she seemed indeed for a time to improve, and late in November, when the family visited her she was up and walking about her double room. She said she was getting well and the family were overjoyed at the prospect of her recovery. The following day she sat upon the sun porch, and letters which had come to her were read to her. Thereafter she declined, until for some weeks past there has been no hope. Her last words were that she would be well again, and she said in her delirium that she would be home that evening to prepare the evening meal.

HANSEN AGAIN IN ORANGE COUNTY JAIL
Stanislaus County Also Wants the Local Swindler
Samuel Hansen is back in the Orange county jail, following his arraignment in the superior court of Stanislaus county one a land deed forgery charge similar to that on which he was convicted in Orange county more than a mouth ago.
The trial date of the Hansen case was set for a date in June, and as the appeal from the verdict, in the case in this county is expected to be returned before that time he may never be tried it was stated by the district attorney.
The reason why Hansen was taken from the county jail at Santa Ana, where he is awaiting the outcome of the appeal, was to arraign him within the 60 day period required by law following his indictment by the grand jury in Stanislaus county. Had this not been done, Stanislaus county officials would have been unable to prosecute in event that the appellate court reversed the verdict of the superior in the case.

The loss is estimated all the way from a thousand to two thousand dollars.
It is supposed that wooden patterns accidentally left in contact with a furnace, became overheater and burst into flames.
This plant was completed and began operations only a couple of months ago. It employs a goodly force of men, and has contracts booked ahead to keep it running at full capacity for many months. The building and machinery cost many thousands of dollars, and its destruction would have been a loss to the city. B. D. McAlvay, president of the company, states that the damage caused by the fire will interfere with its operations only for a few days. In most of the departments work went on as usual the following day, and damage was expected to be repaired so that the entire business could be running in full blast on Monday.
Last Wednesday evening the fire department responded to a call and found a car belonging to Fritz Kemper, parked in the alley in the rear of the S. Q. R. store, in flames. The car was damaged to the extent of several hundred dollars. How the fire originated is not kwon.
QUIETS TITLE TO CITY PROPERTY
Pays City and County Taxes on it for Twenty Years, Discovers Troublesome Flaw
Max Nebelung obtained a decision in the superior court some days ago quieting title to valuable property on South Lemon street, which he and Frank Shanley purchased more than twenty years ago. Mr. Nebelung recently sold the property upon which he had erected commodious apartments from the county jail at Santa Ana, where he is awaiting the outcome of the appeal, was to arraign him within the 60 day period required by law following his indictment by the grand jury in Stanislaus county. Had this not been done, Stanislaus county officials would have been unable to prosecute in event that the appellate court reversed the verdict of the superior in the case.
The Stanislaus county officials will not prosecute in event of favorable action by the appellate court it was declared, upholding the verdict in the Orange county courts. Upon return of the decision of the appellate court, Hansen either will be sent to San Quentin to serve the sentence of from 1 to 15 years or to Stanislaus county to stand trial on a similar charge.
WELL KNOWN CITIZEN CALLED BY DEATH ANGEL
Walter Crowther Succumbs to Heart Disease After Long Illness
After suffering several years from heart disease, Walter Crowther died at his home at Placentia last Thursday, at the age of 52 years. Mr. Crowther was born in Santa Rosa California, but his father, the late William Crowther, moved his family here when Walter was only a small boy, consequently practically his entire life has been spent in this region, and he was one of the best known citizens in northern Orange county.
William Crowther opened a blacksmith shop on his arrival here from the north, but soon acquired a tract of land between this city and Placentia, and moved his family onto it. He set the ground to walnuts, and was known as one of the pioneer walnut growers of California. For many years he was president of Anaheim Union Water company, holding the position until his death, four years ago.
All the members of the family were accomplished musicians, and more than a quarter of a century ago Walter Crowther organized and conducted the first band in Fullerton. His death, at an early age, is deplored b ya wide circle of friends and acquaintances. He leaves a wife, a brother, Ed Crowther, and a sister, Mrs. Ruby Kitchon, of Beverley Hills. Funeral services were conducted at McAulay's parlors at Fullerton Friday, interment being in the family lot in Anaheim cemetery.
Walnut growers in this section are awaiting with interest the meeting at Garden Grove Saturday afternoon, at which Dr. L. D. Batchelor, of the University of California, will make an address, making public the results of several years' research. After a thorough study of the matter Dr. Batchelor, among other things, has discovered a remedy for the discoloration and mildew in walnuts. He has been keeping the information in his own mind for three years in order to thoroughly test his method, Carlyle Thorpe, president of the California Walnut Growers' association, being the only person to whom he confided his secret.
Both Messrs. Thorpe and Batchelor are now convinced that the system is without a flaw, and that it will be worth a mint of money to the growers of the state. It was decided by these two that the formula should be made public at the Garden Grove meeting Saturday.
Growers throughout the state, who have heard of Dr. Batchelor's experiments, are awaiting his announcement with keen interest. The doctor is connected with the state university's experiment station at Riverside, and has been working on this problem that confronted the walnut growers for a number of years. He has withheld all information until thoroughly convinced that his remedy was perfect. His speech at Garden Grove will be the first announcement of his discovery.
How much money the adoption of Dr. Batchelor's method will add to the income of the walnut growers is not positively known, but officials of the association declare that it may increase the value of the crop three cents a pound. Many growers from this section expect to attend this meeting.
The program committee for the fifth annual walnut growers' institute, consisting of representatives from Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties, held a meeting in Los Angeles recently for the purpose of accepting an invitation for the next meeting of the institute, setting the date for the occasion, outlining the program and completing arrangements.

Pays City and County Taxes on it for Twenty Years, Discovers Troublesome Flaw
Max Nebelung obtained a decision in the superior court some days ago quieting title to valuable property on South Lemon street, which he and Frank Shanley purchased more than twenty years ago. Mr. Nebelung recently sold the property upon which he had erected commodious apartments, to the Anaheim Orange and Lemon association, but when the certificate of title was received from the abstract company, it was shown that title vested, not in B. F. Seibert and wife, from whom he purchased the property, but in one Dimond, whom nobody ever heard of. He secured the services of Tipton & Callor, who took the case up in the superior court, bringing action to quiet title, and this was obtained without trouble, Dimond failing to appear. It is believed that Seibert bought the property of Dimond, but failed to have the purchase made a matter of record. Seibert had been in the banking business here, was a man of considerable wealth, and it is considered certain the property belonged to him when he sold it. Mr. Nebelung obligates himself to the citrus association to protect it for a period of a year, should Dimond appear upon the scene of action. It was quite a surprise to him to find this flaw in his title, but his attorneys found no difficulty in quieting it. Mr. Nebelung has paid city and county taxes upon it for more than twenty years, as well as for the street paving, and has considered himself all along its honafide owner.
He came to Anaheim in 1868, and has since resided here and his wad of the long green has grown into spectacular magnificence. He has bought All the members of the family were accomplished musicians, and more than a quarter of a century ago Walter Crowther organized and conducted the first band in Fullerton.

BOY SCOUTS HONORED
More than 1500 Boy Scouts of Orange county and their friends and relatives Friday night attended the scout rally held in the auditorium of the Anaheim high school.
The feature of the evening was the presentation of Eagle badges—the highest honor in scouting—to four scouts, Jack Mattis, Waldemar Borchard, Charles Ehrhorn and Jack Allen.
Jack Mattis, smallest boy of the group to receive the scout award, and holding more merit badges than any other member in the county, was given his badge by A. B. McCord, chairman of the finance committee of the Anaheim scout district.
Waldemar Borchard received his badge from Willard Smith, chairman of the district committee of Orange district. Charles Ehrhorn was presented his badge by D. Eyman Huff and Leon Whitsell awarded the badge to Jack Allen.
A short speech of presentation was made by Mr. Whitsell, chairman of the county court of honor.
If everybody "has it in" for you, that's no reason why you should take it out on somebody else.
Annual walnut growers' institute, consisting of representatives from Riveride, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties, held a meeting in Los Angeles recently for the purpose of accepting an invitation for the next meeting of the institute, setting the date for the occasion, outlining the program and completing arrangements. The invitation extended by Chairman Hotchkiss, of th walnut growers' department of the Los Angeles county farm bureau was unanimously accepted and the institute will therefore be held at Puente. The date set was Saturday, February 17.
After considerable discussion the committee decided to have the following subjects presented in the program for the day: Improved harvesting methods; possibilities of dehydration; individual tree care; improved irrigation practice and a campaign to control the common moth and aphis.

It is the desire of the board to hold the show on the boulevard if a suitable site can be found, consequently Messrs. Riley, Adams, Eygabroad and Stern was appointed to interview property owners on Los Angeles street and ascertain if a site large enough for the purpose can be secured.
The committee on committees recommended Sidney Prince and Charles E. Harbeson as an executive committee, Mr. Stern being the chairman. Mr. Stern asked that the board appoint a manager and determine the amount of pay he shall receive. Also that a budget should be prepared in order that the expenditures for the coming show could be fixed as nearly as possible, showing the amount of money necessary to stage the show.
The finance committee is composed of Hugh Grant, chairman; E. M. Chalmers, G. M. Theodore, Oscar Heping and J. P. Sebastian.

BODY OF BABE FOUND
For the second time within three weeks, county officials were puzzled by the discovery of the body of an abandoned infant.
The charred body of a tiny babe, burned beyond possibility of recognition, lay buried beneath the sod at San Juan Capistrano, while Sheriff Sam Jernigan and Coroneg C. D. Brown were completing a futile investigation of its death.
The tiny form was thrown into a bonfire with papers and rubbish, from a wastebasket in the women's restroom at Tom Foster's garage, authorities learned.
It was the custom of the janitor of the garage to empty the contents of the basket into a fire each morning. This was done as usual Monday morning; when the embers of the fire had cooled, the half-burned body was discovered.
Authorities were notified, and Jernigan and Brown investigated. Because of the burned condition of the body, identification was impossible. Garage employees were unable to furnish any clue, and the body was ordered buried.
The incident called to mind the circumstances of a similar discovery near Los Alamitos several weeks ago. At that time, the perfectly formed body of an infant, wrapped in a jute sack, was discovered. Extended investigation failed to disclose any reliable clue, and the matter was dropped, as an unsolved mystery.
The ideal of a crooked gamler is the "I" deal.
