Small sums of money and large jack-knives, plated watches and oxide sleeve buttons were freely wagered on the result. The Azbill horse went easily away with the stakes, and his opponents were left to ruminate upon the results of misplaced confidence. Just as the Anaheim hotel stage was about to depart for the depot yesterday morning, a Celestial came up with his trunk and wished to ride. The driver got down to put the trunk on the foot, and left the lines tied to the break.

The driver got down to put the trunk on the foot, and left the lines tied to the break. While putting on the trunk the horses started, and the driver climbed to the top of the coach and tugged at the lines, which caused the horses to turn suddenly. The stage was turned completely over. None of the passengers were hurt. The band of horses and mules purchased for the government service in Arizona will start from Las Flores for Prescott in a few days. There are 207 horses and 75 mules. An attempt was made on Wednesday night to steal a horse from the Bremmermann vineyard. The attempt was frustrated by the occupants of the house, who, upon hearing a suspicious noise, proceeded to investigate, which caused the thieves to abandon their game. On the same evening Frank Mielenz discovered a Chinaman in the act of robbing his neighbor's chicken house. A well-directed shot, fired by Frank, struck the Chinaman—with dismay, and caused him to walk pensively away without the rooster. Long Beach is becoming a favorite place as a summer resort. There are some fifty campers there now enjoying the luxury of sea bathing. The new law firm of Cahill & Lynn flung their shingle to the breeze yesterday. They are located at the office formerly occupied by Miles Brothers, where they will ever be found ready to defend the guilty and harass the righteous. The school at Fairview will commence on Monday next, under the tuition of Miss Louisa Hutchinson. One hundred and eighteen pupils were enrolled in the various school departments yesterday.

The Anaheim Literary Society met last evening and passed resolutions of condolence upon the death of their member and friend, B. F. Toombs, who died at his ranch home near Anaheim, on August 6, of congestion, aged 18 years. The regular meeting of the society was postponed until Monday evening next as a mark of respect to his memory. The Santa Ana Valley Democratic Club met at Tustin on Tuesday evening. There were quite a number of the unterrified present, and speeches were made by Messrs. Lynill, Morton and others. Several new names were enrolled. Prince Oscar of Sweden is visiting in the United States, and is being cordially received everywhere. [Fifty years later; Crown Prince Gustavus Adolphus is now in this country on a tour around the world. He has been paid marked attention everywhere.—Ed.] Mr. Woodruff of Santa Ana served in the Twenty-third Ohio regiment under Colonel Hayes, the Republican candidate for President. Mr. Woodruff stated at the last meeting of the Santa Ana Republican Club, that at the battle of South Mountain, when Hayes fell wounded, he it was who picked him up and carried him off the bloody field.

Dyer, a well known resident of this city, aged 43 years, died suddenly at Wilkinsonville, Mass., near Worcester, on Thursday last. Frank Dyer, his brother, receive a telegram on Friday announcing his untimely end. Addison Dyer spent his school days in Anaheim and was one of the brightest boys ever graduated from the local school. He went to Arizona in 1887. Later he went to Colorado and subsequently to Massachusetts, where he engaged in business for 10 years. While at Cripple Creek he met and fell in love with a young lady of Wilkinsonville. They became engaged, and shortly thereafter the lady left for her home in the east. Dyer followed shortly after. The wedding day was set, but the happy event was not to be. Three days before the bride that was to have been breathed her last. Dyer did not return to Colorado, but remained in Wilkinsonville. He went into business there and lived there 10 years. He was buried beside her whose death he had mourned for years. Merrill Rice, manager of the Modjeska ranch, reports an inch of rain in Santiago canyon in the neighborhood of the Modjeska ranch during the unsettled weather of last week. He says six inches of water was running in Harding Canyon creek, and the rain increased the volume of water running into the reservoir. The olive crop on the ranch is not in a promising condition, a blight having fallen upon a part of the trees. Farm Bureau at Studio Opening The Orange County Farm Bureau was represented at the opening of the new studio of the radio station KMTR, in Hollywood, on Wednesday evening, August 4. Master Jackie Searl, small son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Searl of Fullerton, was the Orange County Farm Bureau's representative. He gave his Orange county booster reading. Jackie's radio name is Orange County Buddy, which name was conferred upon him by the Farm Bureau some months ago. Jackie has appeared on several Farm Bureau Center programs, as well as over KHJ. The radio program began at 7 o'clock, with eight or ten different orchestra participating during the evening, besides other numbers on the program. The studio was thrown open to the public for the evening. At 9 o'clock the floor was cleared for dancing. There was room to accommodate 700 couples. The studio is located on the twelfth floor of the Storage building, 1025 Holland avenue, Hollywood. The prince of Wales is now playing in a jazz orchestra, and doubtless he finds a saxophone a lot easier to manage than a horse. Now they are attacking the marriages which are made at sea, but there is no evidence as yet to show that they don't last as long as the other kind.

Uncle Jake Everharty had one of the Lopez boys employed at topping beets in his field at Benedict, some days ago. As Lopez was about to pick up a beet which had just been plowed up, he was startled to hear the rattle of a rattlesnake coiled at the side of the beet. He stepped back out of harm's way and despatched the varmint. It sported six rattles. These serpents are comparatively rare in the beet fields, but Lopez' companions were careful about picking up beets for the remainder of the day. Frank Eastman reports a mail collection box at Judge Landell's old corner, at Centralia, carried away and broken by a runaway some days ago. A new box has been placed in its stead. Herman Dickel and Dr. Bullard enjoyed a six days' outing trip to Modjeska's and Laguna. They report doves scarce in the canyon, where there is very little water. Rev. and Mrs. W. G. Cowan of Arlington stayed over night with friends in town on Thursday last on their way home from Long Beach. M. Courreges was in town from Westminster on Friday. He reports farmers planting celery, and says 1000 acres will be set to this vegetable. Corn and potatoes have yielded abundantly. M. Courreges is of opinion the coming season will be the most prosperous in the history of the Peatlands. Senor de la Guerra was in town on Friday from Yorba. Charley Federman is taking in the sights at Coronado. Miss Julia Nemetz has taken a position at Federman's dry goods store. Mrs. Max Jacobson was the guest of Mrs. Konig on Monday.

Bruno Bennerscheidt is home from Newhall, where is interested in mines and oil property. Mrs. Melrose and the Misses Jessie and Winifred Melrose have returned from a month's sojourn at Long Beach. Notes from our correspondent at Anaheim Landing—A picnic party from Anaheim arrived on Thursday at the Rose cottage and spent a delightful day. Joe Backs is spending a few days at his cottage. The young ladies refer to him as stunning. Edmond Cahen bakes potatoes and pancakes to perfection. The young ladies at the Colonial are in perfect ecstacies over the cakes. Mr. Porter of Orangethorpe is one of the most successful anglers that ever struck the Landing. Charlie is still here, mingling freely in society to overcome his bashfulness. Mrs. Nebelung and family are comfortably quartered at this favorable resort. Mr. Korn and daughter, Miss Marie Horstman, returned on Thursday to their home in Anaheim. Miss Elsie Newbauer is visiting friends here for a week. Mrs. Zeus was the guest of Mrs. Cahen on Sunday. Mrs. Shanley visited friends at the beach on Thursday.

Dr. Lord and wife of Santa Ana spent the day here last week. Mrs. Hillmer and son were guests at the Colonial on Thursday. Lon Allen, brother-in-law to Nick Hugo, was quite seriously burned about the hand at the Landing on Sunday by the explosion of a shell in a pistol which he was handling. The shell contained no ball, which accounts for the absence of more serious results. Grape growers and wine makers of Southern California met at Pasadena some days ago to fix the price of grapes. H. J. Woollacott offered $25 a ton for all grapes in sight. Growers at once stepped up and signed for between 2500 and 3000 tons. The fate of the franc is not the only cause of resentment in France against the United States. Americans are reported to be crowding the French out of their own divorce courts. Men curl up and collapse in New York when the mercury touches 88. If that is all the temperature New Yorkers can stand in this world, we shudder to think of their agony in the world to come.

Bowers There is No Saturation Point for Honest Value "BETTER SERVICE" H. M. Adams A. C. Bowers E. L. Bowers There is No Saturation Point for Honest Value Build a product that the world needs, better than the world expects, and mounting sales will answer those who are constantly predicting a saturated market. During the first six months of this year, for instance, Dodge Brothers sold 207,115 motor cars and trucks. This represents a gain of 49.3 per cent over the first six months of 1925, and continues Dodge Brothers in the enviable position of THIRD IN THE INDUSTRY. For the three weeks ending July 17th, 23,862 motor cars and trucks were delivered to customers—an increase of 62.4 per cent over the same period last year, and impressive evidence that Dodge Brothers great sales gain is continuing through the quiet weeks of mid-summer. There may be a saturation point for mediocrity, but honest value will always command a great and ever expanding market. CHAS. H. MANN 210 South Los Angeles Street DODGE BROTHERS MOTOR CARS
