Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entred at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter HANSEN NOW SAFE IN SAN QUENTIN PRISON Expert Criminal Taken Up Under a Heavy Guard Samuel Hansen, convicted of forgiving a deed to a ranch at Fairview, and sentenced to a term of fourteen years in state's prison, is inside of San Quentin, unsuccessful, in his persistent fight to evade serving the sentence. Alleging their belief that Hansen, because of asserted swindling operations believed to have been carried on in many other sections of the country, was a clever and dangerous prisoner who would leave no stone unturned to secure his liberty, a special squad of deputy sheriffs escorted him by auto to Saugus, where they placed him aboard a train bound for San Quentin. Instead of the usual lone guard to escort the prisoner, two officers went on the train with Hansen for the journey north. This move was made to frustrate any eleventh hour stroke that might be made to free Hansen, the officers fearing that suspected confederates might have plotted to seize him from his guards. Hansen, they claim to believe, has numerous associates who, they feared, would attempt to block the final move to place Hansen behind site it, is the Christian church, and across the corner the California hotel is situated. This hotel was erected recently at a large expense and is looked upon as one o f the finest buildings in the city. PLEASED OVER OIL PROSPECT Willbur Wasser, secretary of Santa Ana lodge, No. 194, B. P. O. E., was one of a number of property owners interested in the announcement that the Standard Oil company had material on the ground for erection of its first derrick on the 1000-acre community lease in the vicinity of the intersection of Ball road and Placentia avenue, says the Register. The 1000 acres is divided into lease groups of approximately 200 acres, with only holders of acreage in the smaller groups participating in royalties from wells brought in on acreage within the group. The first well, according to information, is to be located on the property of William Wagner. Wasser is not in this group. The company is under contract to begin drilling operations in Wasser's group within three years, the company, in the meantime, paying a bonus of $1 per month per acre. Among others in the group with Wasser are W. A. Dyer, 64 acres; C. J. Gregg, 70; B. R. Douglas, 10, and E. J. Eaton, 18. Wasser has eleven and a half acres. While owners of property in these various leases were jubilant at their prospects, Orange county stockholders in the National Security Oil company were keenly anticipating the development of a producing oil well in Santiago canyon, near Orange county park, following announcement made by B. Atkinson, of Los Angeles, a director, that an effort would be made to put the well on production within the next two weeks. The directors said that replacement stead of the usual lone guard to escort the prisoner, two officers went on the train with Hansen for the journey north. This move was made to frustrate any eleventh hour stroke that might be made to free Hansen, the officers fearing that suspected confederates might have plotted to seize him from his guards. Hansen, they claim to believe, has numerous associates who, they feared, would attempt to block the final move to place Hansen behind the prison bars, every legal move having been exhausted. The "remittitur" notifying Orange county yauthorities that the supreme court had upheld the local court's conviction and sentence of Hansen, having reached Santa Ana the last legal obstacle to Hansen's imprisonment was removed and he was immediately started north. During his sojourn in the county jail, Hansen is said to have complained of illness and to have subsisted much of the time on an invalid's diet. The officers expressed amazement when, before boarding the train at Saugus, Hansen, it was said, consumed an extremely hearty meal. Deputy Sheriffs Heffner, Warner, Moncrief, Summerfield and Constables Elliott and Ryan made the journey through to San Quentin. Hansen was sentenced in connection with the alleged forgery of the name of John Kinmouth to a deed to property owned by Kinmouth at Costa Mesa. The deed conveyed the ranch, consisting of fabout 11 acres, to Hansen. Later it was sold to another party, and again transferred to John Otto, who built his home upon the property. Kinmouth, who had not seen the property since he purchased it more than thirty years ago, came upon the scene from his home in Joplin, Mo., found his property in possession of others, and started an investigation which resulted in charges against Hansen. The latter was captured after a difficult search which led across the Rocky mountains and back to California. He made a spirited fight against conviction and carried his case to the highest court, but failed. Kinmouth, however, did not live to see Hansen punished. He was suddenly stricken about a month ago and died after a brief illness. While owners of property in these various leases were jubilant at their prospects, Orange county stockholders in the National Security Oil company were keenly anticipating the development of a producing oil well in Santiago canyon, near Orange county park, following announcement made by B. Atkinson, of Los Angeles, a director, that an effort would be made to put the well on production within the next two weeks. The directors said that replacement of a perforated casing had been completed, and that the baling and other work incident to bringing in the well probably would require two weeks. "The well is down 5022 feet, with eighty-two feet of oil sand," said Atkinson. "We have perforated at 4322 feet. We have high gravity oil and are expecting to develop a good producer of the highest gravity oil ever found in the southern California oil fields." BITTEN BY RATTLER A heroic bit of surgery was performed in the hills above Orange county park when Thomas Kelly, 28 years of age, used a pocket knife on his left after he had been bitten by a rattlesnake. After slashing the wound almost the bone, Kelly sucked the poison from the incision while his companion, E. G. Amos, applied a crude tourniquet just above the wound. When Kelly was taken to a physician, after a thrilling ride from the canyon more than ten miles away, his leg was numb and swollen almost to twice its normal size. The physician, after giving him medical treatment, stated that his heroic action undoubtedly saved his file. Kelly was hunting when the attack occurred. Just as he was about to step over a bush, Kelly caught sight of the rattler coiled to strike. Before he was hardly aware of his danger the snake struck, the fangs sinking into his right leg just above the shoe top. While many rattlers have been seen in the hills surrounding the county park this year, no attacks had been reported before. Kelly, before attending to his wound, killed the snake, which was more than five feet long. The rattler, Kelly said, gave no warning before striking. NURSE HURT IN BUS CRASH GETS $2850 Judgement for $2850 had been awarded to Esther Raddant, trained THE CHAPMAN BUILDING Concrete floors are now being laid in the $500,000 six-story, steel frame structure being erected on the southeast corner of East Wilshire avenue and North Spadra road, Fullerton, by C. C. Chapman. Mr. Chapman stated that work on the building was being pushed as rapidly as possible. It is thought that the lower floors will be ready for occupation about September 1. The building in itself is an imposing structure, and according to the statement of Mr. Chapman, "there will be none finer in the county." It is at the present time the highest business building in Orange county. The outside of the building is finished in granite, with fancy cornices adding greatly to the beauty of it. Over sixty rooms are included in the plans accepted. The edifice is seventy feet wide by one hundred and forty feet in length. Mr. Chapman stated that practically all the building had been rented. The basement and the first two floors will be used entirely for business and commercial houses of various natures. The three upper floors will be made into office rooms. It is expected that the lower floors will be the first to be completed as several of the business houses are very anxious to get in their new quarters. The structure is situated in the northern part of the town on the main north and south street. Directly opposing in the hills surrounding the county park this year, no attacks had been reported before. Kelly, before attending to his wound, killed the snake, which was more than five feet long. The rattler, Kelly said, gave no warning before striking. NURSE HURT IN BUS CRASH GETS $2850 Judgement for $2850 had been awarded to Esther Raddant, trained nurse, as damages for injuries she sustained when a Crown stage line bus overturned near Anaheim, May 19, 1922. The award, made by Superior Judge R. Y. Williams, was directed against A. B. Watson, proprietor of the stage line, who was one of two defendants at the trial of the case. S. W. Mims, the other defendant, was relieved by the court of responsibility for the accident upon which the damage suit was based. The plaintiff had been a passenger on the bus when it collided with Mims car. The plaintiff sued for $16,235.50, that demand including $15,000 damages for injuries and the balance for loss of wages, for medical care and other expense. The court awarded her $1350 actual damages and $1500 exemplary damages. Attorneys Marks and Launer, of Fullerton, represented the plaintiff. Attorneys Clyde Bishop, Santa Ana, and B. P. Gibbs, of Los Angeles, appeared for Watson and the state line's insurance company respectively. Mims was represented by Attorney A. P. Nelson, of Santa Ana, and Nourse, of Culver and Nourse, Los Angeles law firm. BRAVE BOY SCOUT Charles Thompson, 12 year old Boy ANAHEIM GAZETTE PROSPECT Tary of Santa P. O.

Miss Sackett is said to have gone beyond her depth while bathing in the plunge and had sunk twice when her calls for help were heard and answered by the young member of Fullerton troop three. He swam to her, held her head above the water while he made for the edge of the plunge. An account of the rescue will be sent to the national headquarters of the organization. A report of the act already is on file at the county headquarters in Santa Ana. Ed Young, Placentia confectioner and pool room operator, is held to answer in the superior court on charges against him when he was given a preliminary examination before Justice Cox at Santa Ana. Young is charged with a high misdemeanor, selling intoxicating liquor. Evan Pugh, who admitted purchasing two pints of whiskey from Young, was a prosecution witness. He was also arrested at the time and following the examination of Young, paid a $50 fine for having liquor in his possession. Young and Pugh were arrested in Placentia several weeks ago by Deputy Sheriffs G. E. McClellan and Jesse L. Elliott. Young gave $500 bond for his appearance in the superior court. Attorney Roland Thompson, representing Young, introduced no testimony at the preliminary examination. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Walker are spending a few days at Coronado.
