Judge Bailey at once empanelled a jury and proceeded to the locality. Arriving there the man was found lying dead with a bullet hole through his right temple and a Colt's pistol lying near his feet. The verdict of the jury was that his name was Auguste Bouchet, that he was a native of France, aged 23 years, and that he came to his death from a pistol fired by himself. On Thursday a Frenchman selected as a camping place the ranch of W. J. Smith which lies about three miles northwest of Anaheim. Mr. Smith was surprised and chagrined upon viewing the havoc wrought during the night and in an interview with the Frenchman claimed two hundred dollars as payment for the damage he had sustained. After some conversation, however, the matter was referred to Dr. D'Assonville for arbitration, who decided that the Frenchman should pay $89, which he promptly did.

Motor vehicle thieves are having harder sledding than ever this year through the vigilance of the city, county and state authorities, and the expert detectives of the auto club theft bureau. Quick work in apprehending the culprits is having good effect and the percentage of thieves through the cooperation of authorities and the employment of modern methods. Automobile dealers, also, are giving staunch support to the campaign to make Southern California the toughest climate in the world for automobile crooks. In the first three months of 1924 there were 1,483 cars stolen. Of these 956 were recovered, or approximately two-thirds. While this is a much higher average than prevails the country over, it is hoped to make the number of lost cars even less. Three quick recoveries last week reported by J. E. Erven, head of the auto club theft bureau, of cars that had been rushed out of the state, staggered thieving gentry somewhat. Keep your car thief proof, is the admonition of the theft bureau. The last stand of the Mojave Desert and Death Valley against the invasion of motor vehicles soon will give way, and remaining roads open to vehicles will be signposted.

Salvin came over from Santa Ana on Sunday to attend the band concert and make calls upon his numerous friends. Senor de la Guerra was in town from Yorba on Monday and purchased a mowing machine from the Lutz company. Senor de la Guerra has kept a record of the rainfall for the last 35 years, and cannot account for the recent utterances of weather sharps that rain fell in '64. He states that the year '63 was a dry year similar to last season, but that in '64 no rain fell whatever during the rainy season with the exception of a sprinkle of about an hour's duration in March. In that year the de la Guerra's lost 30,000 head of cattle and had to sell 4,000 head at $5 per head. Their extensive ranch in Santa Barbara county was littered with thousands of dead sheep and horses, and altogether the season was one of extreme hardship to stockmen throughout the state. Senor de la Guerra was in the army then, and recently came On the trip approximately 1,000 old were replaced with new ones, and the roads charted for future work, completing the entire road system of the desert and requiring an additional 1,500 signs. When these are erected, the desert wastes, once the terror of the traveler, will be dotted with some 6,500 signs, indicating directions, mileages, elevations and water holes. The road from Las Vegas to Ploche via Mopa and Callonte will be signposted for 200 miles, including the Pahrahagat Valley and the highway that will follow the railroadridge from Tonopah to Las Vegas via Beatty. Signposts in the desert are appreciated more than anywhere else in the world, according to the auto club representatives. Most of the desert signs were found to be in good condition. There is but little sympathy for the person who defaces or mutlates or destroys a sign in the wild places. The only mutilated signs were found along the trans-continental highways. The desert roads generally were found to be in good condition for this time of the year, and the recent rains have brought out the wild flowers in many otherwise uninviting stretches of bare landscape. HOOVER BACKS PLANS FOR NATIONAL SAFETY Highway Accidents Increasing—Need for National Action Shown According to statistics issued by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company there were 17 per cent more fatal automobile accidents in January than in the same month in 1923. Last year the company paid one million one hundred and forty-four thousand dollars in death claims due to automobile accidents, the previous high figure being eight hundred and sixty-seven thousand dollars in 1922. Eight organizations have sent representatives to confer with Secretary of Commerce Hoover to coordinate safety work and devise a broad national program covering the subject. Secretary Hoover, in calling the conference, pointed out a heavy increase in street and highway accidents all over the country due, in large measure, to the rapid increase of motor-bond in an amount to equal fifty per cent.
