Milley IN THE winter of 1877 a duel was fought by Tom Stagg, clerk at the Planters hotel, and Red Rogers, a well-known negro character about town, who had made himself disliked to many of the old-timers. Flagg kept a roaring fire blazing in a large stove in the front room of the hotel, and old-timers gathered there evenings, after the hard day's work was over, and passed an hour or two in social converse and at games of cards. Red had a bad habit of looking in on the assemblage, taking a chair by the stove; toasting his shins and going to sleep. The old-timers insisted that his snores annoyed them and that various and sandry smells emanating from his direction were becoming quite unbearable. Stagg ordered him out of the house several times, but the next evening Red was promptly on hand again, offering to call it square, and taking a seat by the stove. He was soon fast asleep again, and then the snores, followed by the smells. Stagg had ordered him out of the hotel a number of times, when one evening as Red was snoring away by the stove he procured a large sponge, saturated it in ice water and, removing Red's hat, brought it down with a resounding smack over his head. The ice water roused Red instantly and, protesting that he had been insulted, he walked quietly out of the hotel, and Stagg told him not to return. A scheme was concocted between Stagg and a number of others to get Rogers out of town, and a duel was arranged, after some hesitation on the part of Red, in which shot guns were to be used loaded with buckshot. The morning after the sponge incident, Red was called into Charlie Leonard's meat market, and Charlie informed him an insult had been offered the colored race by Stagg, which Red, as an honorable colored gentleman should resent. Leonard suggested he should send Stagg a challenge to fight a duel which he said Stagg would never accept and, being thus in disgrace, would have to leave town, when Red might resume his visits to the hotel. Red demurred to a duel, but on Leonard's assurance that Stagg would never accept, was finally prevailed upon to have the challenge forwarded to his opponent. Red objected to buckshot, and suggested birdshot instead. Leonard prepared the challenge to Stagg, setting forth that the duel should be fought with shotguns at a date in the near future, on the slaughter house grounds just south of town. The challenge was read to Rogers, who gave his approval to the encounter on Leonard's assurance that Stagg was cowardly and would not dare to meet him. The challenge was therefore delivered by Leonard to Stagg, who asked for 24 hours in which to consider it. Red was informed of Stagg's reply, and on Leonard's assuring him again that Stagg would never fight, appeared to be satisfied with the way things were shaping. Early the next morning Stagg's reply was delivered to Leonard and, greatly to Red's consternation, he insisted upon fighting with shotguns loaded with buckshot at 20 paces. Red considered Complete First Unit Of Phone Equipment Long Distance Testing Plant One of Improvements Completion of the installation of the first unit of new equipment in the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company's new building on Lemon street was announced today by Manager E. A. Beard. Included in the new equipment are a centralized testing plant designed to test long distance lines radiating in all directions from Anaheim, a power plant to convert electricity so that it will be suitable for telephone service, a storage battery to insure a constant flow of power, a number of "repeaters," which are to long distance service what the vacuum tube is to the radio, in that they strengthen the voice currents, and a maze of highly technical equipment which would require a text book to describe, all necessary to modern telephony. The testing equipment, marvelous in its intricacy and ability to detect and locate the slightest flaw in the system, whether it be in the building itself or a hundred miles away, occupies considerable space in the new structure. Here telephone men sit before their dials and indicatorators 24 hours of the day, ever vigilant in their watch over the network of copper lines which, in this age of rapid communication, bind all cities and towns and nearly all homes together in one great system. Possibly you haven't given a thought in recent years to the question of where the electricity comes from that gives life to the nation's telephone system. In the old days, every telephone had its own set of dry batteries. Nowadays, wherever there is any considerable number of telephones within a reasonably small area, the electricity is supplied from the central office. The new building has a power plant which will vitalize the long distance lines for a large part of Orange county, and a wet battery of such size that it would keep the system going for considerable time in case of some accident which might cut off the supply of power. The power plant converts the high voltage "alternating" current to "direct" current of lower voltage for use in the telephone system. The batteries act as a reservoir for the converted current. The "repeaters" are one of the most interesting things in modern telephone equipment. Their use has been de- Approximately 400 children were present all-day picnic held in Anaheim, under the Santa Ana and Anahela Knights of Columna. In the morning, a group children was held, and there were sports events and adults. Lunch was served at p.m. fried chicken wagon, with W. K. D., preparation of the "eat" was done by members.

Three-legged races and Walter Markel, Joseph Dilharce, FulKraemer, Anaheim, first; Dorothy second; Geraldine Ha third. Early the next morning Stagg's reply was delivered to Leonard and, greatly to Red's consternation, he insisted upon fighting with shotguns loaded with buckshot at 20 paces. Red considered the conditions rather severe, but he was assured that Stagg was merely bluffing and would never meet him on the field of honor. Red walked down to Bennerscheld's tin shop and, saying nothing about the proposed duel, ordered a large sheet iron armor to fit about his body, reaching from his neck to his hips. The armor plate was tied behind the body with strands of baling rope. The day for the duel arrived, and all the old-timers were present to see the affair of honor. Stagg had obtained a bladder filled with blood, which he secreted under his vest, and which at the proper moment he was to slit with a knife. Fall upon the ground and lay wettering in the contents of the bladder. Red was to be impressed with the idea that he had mortally wounded Stagg and was to be told that the best thing for him to do was to leave town forthwith. A large pine box in which he was to be placed was waiting at a convenient spot to be carried away with Red inside of it. A young man named W. W. Smith who had arrived from the north to take a position on this newspaper, and who was attired in a long black coat and a plug hat, was chosen to be master of ceremonies. He examined Stagg and pronounced him fit to fight the duel of his life. Everybody knew that Red was wearing his armor plate, and when Smith called him for a conference, all eyes were turned in his direction. Smith informed him that as master of ceremonies he would have to make examination of Red's wearing apparel, but the negro stoutly protested, saying that he was here to battle for his life, and that no man dared touch him. Smith replied that Red was to meet Stagg in an honorable fight; that he had made examination of Stagg's clothing and, according to the terms and (Continued from Page One) Two automobiles were reported stolen in Orange county over the week-end.

AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, July 15, 1926 VING PROGRAM LAUNCHED World Record Aim of Olinda Oil Well Crew WORLD'S record for oil well depth will come to Orange county if the crew at the Chancellor, Canfield Midway Oil Company's No. 96 well has no bad luck this week. The well stood at 7477 feet, slightly more than 100 feet under the California record and within 400 feet of the world record of 7800 feet held by a well in Pennsylvania. The well at the present time holds a record for being the deepest well ever drilled with electrical equipment. It has been the opinion of oil men that electrical equipment would not do so well in a deep test. The company is drilling a six and one-fourth inch hole and has just purchased 8000 feet of new casing, which will be dropped in the hole at once. According to advises from the well, every effort is being made and care being taken to push the well on down. The California record for depth is held by E. J. Miley at Rosencrans. GROWTH OF CITY IS PROVEN BY FIGURES LIST OF PERSONAL TAX-PAYERS LARGER THAN LAST YEAR Postmaster Whitaker's Survey Shows Fewer Empty Store Rooms and Dwellings; Secretary Reid Reports 68 New Families Moved in During June; Many New Business Firms Cast Lots With Us Vagrant Near Talks Himself 'Out' of Jail THERE is such a thing as talking yourself into jail, but the exact opposite was seen in Justice Kenneth Morrison's court, when John Tie was brought in, charged with vagrancy. John seemed a little too eager to spend a few days behind the county bastle's bars and, for that reason, Judge Morrison is not so sure whether he will get a jail sentence or not. "Now listen, Judge, don't let a little thing like 15 or 20 days worry you any," Tie said, when Judge Morrison frankly admitted that he did not know what to do with the man. "Oh, it's all right, I don't mind doing a few days in the county jail," he added. "You like it over there?" the judge asked. "It's all right," Tie answered. Tie was picked up by Ed McClellan, chief criminal deputy sheriff, near the Orange county hospital.

Miley at Rosencrans, with a depth of 7591 feet. When this depth was reached by the Mille company, it was hailed as a world’s record, but reports are to the effect that a Pennsylvania well holds the record at a depth of about 7800 feet. To make things sure, the Olinda crew intends to go down at least 8000 feet. According to reports at the well, some excellent indications have been encountered and there is a possibility of tapping an even deeper strata than has ever been found before. Fair indications are now showing at the bottom of the hole, according to reports. Knights of Columbus Enjoy All-Day Picnic Four Hundred Attend Picnic at Concordia Park Approximately 400 men, women and children were present Sunday at the all-day picnic held in Concordia park, Anaheim, under the auspices of the Santa Ana and Anaheim councils of the Knights of Columbus. In the morning, a sports program for children was held, and in the afternoon there were sports events for children and adults. Lunch was served at noon and at 5 p.m. fried chicken was served to the group, with W. K. Duffy in charge of preparation of the "ents." The serving was done by members of both councils. An entertainment in Concordia hall completed a day of real pleasure for those who were present. L. P. Gorman of La Habra and William Maag of Santa Ana composed the committee in charge of the day's program. In those events of which records were kept, the following were the winners: Boot and shoe race—Robert Sellers, Fullerton, and Hilda Ravenkamp, first; Paul Hauptet, Santa Ana, and Olive Shea, Anaheim, second; Melvin Sellers, Fullerton, and Agnes LaForce, Fullerton, third.

Eggs and spoon race—Ida Klose, Fullerton, first; Dorothy Dauser, Fullerton, second; Geraldine Haupert, Santa Ana, third. LIST OF PERSONAL TAX-PAYERS LARGER THAN LAST YEAR Postmaster Whitaker’s Survey Shows Fewer Empty Store Rooms and Dwellings; Secretary Reid Reports 68 New Families Moved in During June; Many New Business Firms Cast Lots With Us CITY Assessor Harry Jayne has completed his 1926 assessment job, and reports that the toll of personal property taxpayers is considerably larger than it was a year ago, and the total assessment is also higher. Work of posting the books is now in progress in the city clerk’s office, and the exact figures will not be known until this work is completed. This is positive evidence that Anaheim has grown during the past year. Mr. Jayne states there are more business firms in the city than there were a year ago, and that there are fewer vacant residences. Anaheim is neither retrograding nor standing still. It is steadily climbing upward. The post office force, under direction of Postmaster Harry Whitaker, is also keeping tab on the situation and, according to Mr. Whitaker’s table compiled July 1, empty storerooms, offices and residences are much scarcer than they were a year ago, notwithstanding the fact that many new ones have been constructed during the year. Mr. Whitaker’s survey shows the following: Stores Offices Dwellings April, 1925 ... 36 67 130 Aug., 1925 ... 37 68 144 Sept., 1925 ... 48 57 163 Jan., 1926 ... 40 80 133 Apr., 1926 ... 50 75 125 July, 1926 ... 37 63 132 George W.

Staging Dog Show At County Fair At Least Three Hundred Canines Expected to Be Entered A dog show, under direction of the American Kennel Association, with some of the best pedigree canine stock in the Southland entered, is a possible feature of the annual Orange County Fair. It was revealed at a meeting of the board of directors held at the Garden Grove inn. Herbert Murphy of Fullerton presented briefly, plans contemplated for this additional feature, and expressed the belief that at least 300 would be on exhibit if the show is held. Murphy said he was certain that Harold Lloyd and other dog fanciers of Los Angeles would enter their animals. The suggestion was taken under consideration and referred to F. E. Kirker of Fullerton director in charge of this type of exhibits. Reports made by the heads of departments disclosed that considerable progress is being made in development of the various features of the coming annual show. September 6-11. Fencing of the site and construction work on buildings and stands to be erected will start within the next week or ten days, according to C. M. Hollingshead and S. W. Stanley, who are giving this activity their attention. Development of a water plant also will be started soon. J. R. Hunt, manager of the show, announced that 40 per cent of the space in the industrial tent has been sold, and that he anticipated little trouble in selling out the remaining space. He was whether he will get a jail sentence or not. "Now listen, Judge, don't let a little thing like 15 or 20 days worry you any." Tie said, when Judge Morrison frankly admitted that he did not know what to do with the man. "Oh, it's all right. I don't mind doing a few days in the county jail," he added. "You like it over there?" the judge asked. "It's all right," Tie answered. Tie was picked up by Ed McClellan, chief criminal deputy sheriff, near the Orange county hospital. He seemed hungry and needed a bath, McClellan told the court, and that was the reason he brought him in. Tie said that he had been working. In fact, he said there is nothing he likes better than work. "Judge, I wouldn't mind working on the chain gang awhile. I like work better than anything, so don't let a little thing like 15 or 30 days bother you any," the man repeated. Morrison will investigate the man's case to determine just how much work he has done around Santa Ana recently, and after that he will notify Tie as to whether he gets a free bed and meals.

City Manager Price's plans, which he has had under consideration for some months, were presented to the board and met with the approval of that body. They provide for the construction of more than a million feet of Open Air Camp for Mal-Nourished Tots paving on various streets, the total cost of which is estimated at $180,000.

City Manager Price's plans, which he has had under consideration for some months, were presented to the board and met with the approval of that body. They provide for the construction of more than a million feet of paving on various streets, the total cost of which is estimated at $180,000. Included in the program is the proposition launched a couple of years ago for adding 10 feet to the width of Palm street. The proposal is to slice 10 feet off the property adjusting on Palm on the west side, and add it to the street. Inas much as the business section has been extended as far west as Clementine street, it is believed that Palm will eventually be a business street, and at present it is too narrow to accommodate the traffic in that event. It is also proposed in the plans that Palm street shall be paved from Broadway northward, and that it is advisable to complete the widening before the paving is laid. Mr. Price's program provides for the paving of West Sycamore and West Cypress from Lemon to Palm, a distance of three blocks. This, with the paving of Palm, will completely surround the city park with paved streets. The proposal also calls for the paving of North East street from East Center to East La Palma, paving of the south half of East La Palma from North East street to the easterly city limits, paving of North and South Olive street from East Santa Ana to East La Palma and the paving of North Clementine from West Sycamore to West North street. As the adjoining property owners will pay for the paving under the California law, ample opportunity will be given them to enter protests and outline their reasons for objecting before contracts are let. It is anticipated that there will be protests—there always are when a paving job is proposed—but it is not believed the opposition will be heavy enough to halt the work. Reports for the various officials for the fiscal year ending June 30 were filed with the board at this meeting. City Treasurer Charles A. Boege reported $178,642.84 in the treasury at this time, $66,015.52 being in the general fund. The cit yalso holds $5000 in Liberty bonds, and holds a mortgage of $27,447.75 on the sewer farm. During the month of June twenty-one building permits were issued by R. P. Tompkins, building inspector, according to his report, and he collected during the month $6711.42, which included the fees collected at the city plunge. According to the report of Fire Chief Herman Schindler, the loss by fire during the month of June was only $18. Chief of Police Martin reported that he had issued 36 dog licenses during the month. Open Air Camp for Mal-Nourished Tots First Children Expected to Arrive Next Saturday By OLIVE LOPEZ There is one project in Orange county which is dear to the hearts of the majority of citizens. It is the preventorium or open-air health camp for underweight and mal-nourished little boys and girls maintained under the auspices of the Orange County Tuberculosis Association. Mrs. Amelia A. Meagher, executive secretary for the association and "Camp Mother" announced today that the first children will be taken to camp next Saturday, although a visit to the new site today showed that all will not be in "apple ple" order at that time. The reason for this is that the cann is located this year in a new, more beautiful and more accessible place, provided through the generosity of James Irvine and his son, James Irvine, Jr. As the Trabuco road was badly washed out last winter, the old camp was inaccessible until a short time ago, when the old buildings and equipment were brought to the site near the Orange County park, where the Automobile Club of Southern California will place a sign to show the road to the preventorium, which turns to the left from the pavement just before arrival at the park. The Fluor Construction Company is erecting the buildings for the camp, and they look very good to those in charge, as compared with those used in Trabuco canyon. There are two large and airy dormitories, one for the girls and one for the boys, each equipped with shower baths and lavatories. The dining room is twice as large as the former one, and from it leads the "handy" kitchen and a storage room with refrigerator for supplies. A little cabin on the grounds will be utilized for the hospital and clinic. Near this will be located the tents for Mrs. Meagher and the teachers—Miss Evelyn Yount, physical education director; Miss Rachel Stewart, and Miss Gall Baldwin. The cook, Mrs. M. Miller of Tustin, and her assistant will have a tent near the kitchen. The grounds are ideal, indeed, for this purpose, as they hold some of the finest oaks and sycamores in the canyon and, after having been cleared of debris and sumac, make a perfect amphitheater for the play and parade grounds. Mrs. Meagher has selected one huge monarch of the forest under which the kiddies will enjoy their rest periods every day.

Honeymooners Write From Camp Curry Bob Gibbs and his bride (formerly Miss Leona Borth) are enjoying a honeymoon in the north, and a letter received from him on the ninth instant announces their arrival on the previous day at Camp Curry, Yosemite national park. Bob is a valued salesman at the Western Auto Supply Company's store on South Los Angeles street, and when he left on his summer vacation took a bride with him. Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs write in enthusiastic terms of the beauties of Yosemite. They were somewhat excited over the fish stories told by campers, and were planning to test their skill and their new fishing tackle on the day following the date of the letter. Apparently Yosemite has become quite civilized, as the letter winds up with the recommendation that visitors to the park carry with them a dress suit and their best clothes.
