Quite a relief it was to our reporter, who has seen nothing but pull-backs, pin-backs and hang-backs parading our streets, to see an old-fashioned hoopskirt come sweeping down the street yesterday. It was a novelty. Colonel Tustin left yesterday for a visit to Petaluma. Deputy Sheriff Barham returned last evening from his chase after the man, McManners, who shot Officer Tichenal of Santa Ana in the leg on Tuesday, while resisting arrest for disturbing the peace of that town. Mr. Barham captured the horse which the outlaw rode. McManners is concealed somewhere in the swamp of Las Bolsas, which is so guarded that it is impossible for him to escape. The southern bound stage to Santa Barbara was robbed on last Friday night. Wells Fargo & Company's box was empty, so the robbers made a forced loan of $40 from the passengers. Forty acres of hay belonging to Alexander Henry was destroyed by fire yesterday. Dr. Hardin is seeking information regarding a meerschaum pipe, the third which he has lost during the last 30 days. Quite a number of our citizens interested in the anti-coolie movement assembled at Enterprise hall on Saturday evening. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Miner, Fischer, Webb, Scott and Lynill. Owing to the lateness of the hour, the meeting was adjourned without transacting any business. The next meeting will be held Wednesday evening. Efforts are being made to form an Anti-Coolie Club. The Qui Vive Society of Westminster, numbering about twenty persons, will proceed to the grape vines in the Santiago canyon on July 3 and remain until July 5. The exercises on the Fourth of July will comprise singing, orations, recitations, reading selections, etc., and after the dinner toasts will be responded to. One of the features of the occasion will be the singing of Whitier's Centennial hymn. Friends of the society are cordially invited to participate with them in celebrating the day. Los Angeles has $1400 on hand with which to celebrate the Fourth of July. Sheffield's team ran away yesterday. The buggy was seriously injured, but will recover under the fostering care of the blacksmith, wheelwright, painter and carriage trimmer.

French has so far recovered from his illness as to be in town yesterday with his family. Mr. Gus Davis is making arrangements to bore a deep well at his residence on Lemon street. We have been requested by the friends of John P. Zeyn to announce that he has consented to become a candidate for school trustee at the election to be held on the last Saturday of this month. Mr. Chico Forster returned yesterday with the government officers from Santa Margarita. We understand that quite a number of horses were purchased at that ranch. The time is near at hand for some of the straw piles to be distributed along our streets. Born—In Anaheim, June 17, to the wife of N. H. Mitchell, a son.—In Anaheim, June 16, to the wife of Gustav Reiser, a son. Orange Items—The assessable property of Richland school district, after cutting off the new "Olive" district, amounts to $205,191.—B. F. Smith says beef is a cash article, but it is difficult to convince people of the same.—We are sorry to learn that Mrs. Colonel Travis is quite ill.—Fred Shafer has erected a stoop in front of the Oriental. He says his pigeon-table is very well patronized.—Henry Mosbaugh and C. H. Parker report that C. B. Andrus has gained six pounds since going to the mountains, two weeks ago.—The Idaho bakeryman from Anaheim sells bread in Orange at 7 cents per loaf; cheaper than you can steal it. The meal shipped from Downey City to market amounts to a very considerable quantity. Could we not have a wheat and corn mill here? If, as we learn, the Los Nietos mill does well, it would certainly seem that one here would pay finely. Nothing builds up a town so rapidly as the presence in it of factories, etc. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1901 Yesterday Joseph Helmsen received a letter from Grand Master James A. Foshay of Los Angeles, in which he states that he has issued an order convening the Masonic grand lodge on July 4, 1901, at 2 o'clock p.m., for the purpose of laying the cornerstone of the new high school building in this city, in accordance with Helmsen's request. Contractor McWilliams is having the corner-stone cut and suitably inscribed by experienced mechanics. The committee in charge of the electrical illumination and street decorations for the coming Fourth have been busy stringing wires across the streets for the electric lights and suspending flags and bunting for the decorations. Two thousand electric lights are being colored at the power house, to be attached to the wires. The electrical work is in charge of Arthur Lewis, Joseph Hatfield and Fred Lewis. The parade will form at the Del Campo and East Broadway. It will move from Olive to Center, to Palm, to Broadway, to Los Angeles, to Adele, to Lemon, to the Deutsch grove, where the exercises will be held. Alex Henry will construct a ship of state, which will contain young ladies representing the different states, to be drawn by eight white horses, each having a liveried driver. California will be seated in the bow, along with a bear. Mr. Henry will represent Uncle Sam, clad in his habiliments of red, white and blue. A committee consisting of Mrs. A.

Backs received a telegram yesterday afternoon from Adolph Luedke, dated San Francisco, June 26, stating that Oscar was dead and that he would leave on the Owl with the body for interment here. The funeral will take place this (Thursday) afternoon from the late residence on Center street. Mrs. Anna M. Baum breathed her last at her home on South street, on Thursday, June 20th, after a lingering illness. She was a native of Germany and was aged 59 years. Deceased leaves seven children to mourn her loss, viz: Frank Baum, August Baum, Joseph Baum, Mrs. Tommy Deitrich and Miss Clara Baum, all of this city, and John Baum of St. Louis, Mo. Father Dubble conducted the obsequies. The following gentlemen acted as pal-bearers: Mr. Dubble, F. Shanley, J. Everhardy, F. Rimpau, C. Allseits, A. Arnold. Interment was in Anaheim cemetery on Friday afternoon. Joe Backs upheld the dignity of the Anaheim Turn Verein at the San Diego meet last week. Anaheim had not the necessary eight members to constitute a competing team, there being only three men, viz: Joe Backs, Johnny Haberfellner and Frank Arnold to represent. In team work, therefore the local verein was not strong, but in the individual tests of skill the boys showed their superiority. In the open 100-yard dash, only three entered, two being from San Francisco, one of them the northern champion, Louis Scheppler. The San Francisco boys appeared upon the track in sprinting costume. Backs walked down the line with his turner clothing on. "We've got a cinch," said the up-country boys. "We'll win this race sure." At the starting point Backs threw off his turner suit and stood attired in sprinting pants of abbreviated pattern and a broad smile. He ran away from the northerners, winning the race in 10 2-5 seconds, twenty feet ahead of Scheppler. None of the other vereins entered a man against Backs, knowing they could not defeat him. Backs won the running broad jump over fifty competitors, jumping 21 feet 4 inches—three feet ahead of the northerners. Anaheim won second prize in the singing contest. Judge Landell was in from Buena Park on Tuesday, renewing old acquaintances. The judge is looking better and younger than for a long time. Carl Zeus, having taken a course in chemistry at the high school, now reaps the reward of his industry. He has been offered a position in the laboratory of the Chino sugar factory, and leaves Judge Landell was in from Buena Park on Tuesday, renewing old acquaintances. The judge is looking better and younger than for a long time. Carl Zeus, having taken a course in chemistry at the high school, now reaps the reward of his industry. He has been offered a position in the laboratory of the Chino sugar factory, and leaves for that place on July 10. Carl is a great kid, and it's dollars to peanuts that he will be superintendent of the works some of these days. "My hair is the richest in this house," said Tim Carroll, in the barber shop on Sunday morning, as he was preparing to get a fashionable hair cut. "How so?" asked the barber. "Because it is silvery," said Tim, and all hands had a good laugh. "Will you have oil on your hair?" asked the barber, a little later on, after the cut. "No, I am smooth enough without it," said Tim, and the crowd in the barber shop laughed again. Ad and Harry Dyer were visitors in Catalina some days ago, and on Sunday made a trip to the Landing. Ad leaves shortly for a visit to the Buffalo Exposition. Charles Bauer drove to Los Angeles on Saturday evening, accompanied by his mother and two sisters, to pay a visit to Mrs. Falder. They returned on Sunday. Isaac Lyons and M. M. Morton were in town from Los Angeles yesterday. Hugo Hinricks of San Francisco is spending a short vacation with Charley Fleming at the Orangethorpe ranch. Stephen Kistler of the Boston Bakery will serve fine lunches all day long on the Fourth of July. His bakery will also be well supplied with everything in his line. BEFORE AND AFTER THEY say the reason why frontier towns years ago were usually of small population was because the he-men always toted two guns and were light on the trigger. Now, these same places are filling up with people because perhaps all the cowboys have busted into the movies. LUMBER MEASURED WITH THE GOLDEN RULE We are ready to meet your building needs!
