All windows intended to compete for prizes are to be in readiness for judging by 6 p.m. Thursday. On Friday evening all merchants are urged to have their windows lighted and the awnings raised. Judging on the window decorations will be made on a basis of 50 per cent for uniqueness of idea, 30 per cent for attractiveness, and 20 per cent for skill in execution.

At a meeting of the committees held at the city hall Monday evening, the workers who are staging the affair reported that preparations were going on swimmingly, and that everything would be in readiness to present an entertainment that will far surpass all previous attempts. Hundreds of people are expected to join in the great parade, and each will be doing his utmost to win one of the prizes. D. A. R. Society Hears of Pioneers Pamphlet by Mrs. Frohling Is Read by Mrs. J. J. Dwyer The Mother Colony chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held their regular meeting Friday, October 21, at the home of Mrs. C. W. Cromer, 784 North Clementine street. A large attendance of members and guests had been attracted by the desire to hear the reading by Mrs. J. J. Dwyer of the booklet written by Mrs. John Frohling, a pioneer of Anaheim. To those present who had experienced with Mrs. Frohling the joys and sorrows, the hardships and adventures of pioneer life, it was a thrilling return into the past. To those who have come later it was a revelation of the price at which were bought the benefits which we accept as a matter of course. This record was written in Mrs. Frohling's own hand when she was 87 years old, and is a priceless possession of her daughter, Mrs. Alma Pellegrin, who still resides in the house at the corner of Citron' and Sycamore streets. The building of this house is described in the pamphlet in great detail; how it was rushed to completion in time for the wedding, Mrs. Frohling being the first bride in Anaheim; how carpenters and painters were brought down from Los Angeles and were fed and cared for by Mrs. Frohling and her mother, Mrs Hammes, women unaccustomed to such rough work. The wedding is described and the feast following. Three hundred guests were in attendance. The feast was served at August-Langenburger's, where Falkenstein's store now stands. Rain came on and prevented the return of the guests for three days. Upon the bridal party reaching the Arroyo Seco, on their way to Los Angeles, they found the road barred and a delegation waiting to meet them.

J. Jewell Alleged to Have Threatened Mother-in-Law W. J. Jewell, real estate agent, is in the city jail under $5000 bond, which he was unable to give, awaiting preliminary trial on a charge of assault with attempt to kill. The complaint was sworn to by Mrs. Marion C. Blake, wife of L. C. Blake, of 391 North Cirton street, who charges that he came to the Blake home last Sunday, armed with a sawed-off billiard cue, and threatened to use violence unless he was permitted to see his two children. Jewell's former wife, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Blake, obtained a divorce some months ago. The court stipulated that he should pay his wife $50 a month for the support of the children, and that he should be permitted to see them once a week. As he has ignored the order of the court and failed to pay anything for the support of the children, their mother refused to permit him to see them. For this reason he appeared at the Blake home last Sunday, armed with his bludgeon, and attempted to gain admission to the house by force. Police were summoned and Jewell's belligerence was suppressed. He was not arrested, but left the premises promising to be good hereafter, but Mrs. Blake later signed the warrant, charging him with threatening her life with the club. His hearing will come up before Judge Stark Saturday. Penters and painters were brought down from Los Angeles and were fed and cared for by Mrs. Frohling and her mother, Mrs. Hammes, women unaccustomed to such rough work. The wedding is described and the feast following. Three hundred guests were in attendance. The feast was served at August- Langenburger's, where Falkenstein's store now stands. Rain came on and prevented the return of the guests for three days. Upon the bridal party reaching the Arroyo Seco, on their way to Los Angeles, they found the road barred and a delegation waiting to meet them. This delegation included the mayor and such familiar names as Wolfskill, Downey, Workman, Stearns, etc. There was only one house between Anaheim and Los Angeles. The book tells of floods, droughts, homesickness, losses, work which the soft hands of gentle people had never undertaken, hardships indescribable, but on the other hand were the strong affections which such hardships borne together engender, and there was always the incentive of difficulties to overcome, and always music, the solace of the German heart. Mrs. Pellegrin still has the piano brought from Europe when the family came. The book is written with a direct simplicity which gives it the greatest literary charm. As a record of events, the memory of which will vanish with the present generation, it is a priceless document, and the only one, so far as known, in existence. Mrs. Frohling gives to Henry Kuchel, father of Anaheim newspapers, the honor of bestowing the name Mother Colony. Another feature of the program was a paper read by Mrs. Ida Virginia Jones of Long Beach upon the supreme court of the United States. Mrs. Jones spoke from personal experiences, having attended sessions frequently with her husband, a lawyer in Washington, D. C. She spoke of the dignity of procedure, the high type of the judges, the gravity of matters considered and above all, of the finality of the supreme court decisions. Lord Bryce, in his "American Commonwealth," calls it "the highest tribunal except only that of God"—and a bar from which there is absolutely no appeal. A President of the United States considers it an honor in this court. To Mrs. Frohling children, who still sued Mrs. Alma Pellegrin, residence in which married; John Eyman his family not far away; C. Eyman, who resided part of the state.

This is another branch of the Southern County Bank of Anaheim, and is filling a need in business circles that has long been felt in the Cypress community.

They are Mrs. Alma Pellegrin, who lives in the residence in which her mother was married; John Eymann, who lives with his family not far away, and Walter C. Eymann, who resides in the northern part of the state. On the south front of Mrs. Pellegrin's residence there is still the sun dial which was placed there by Mr. Hammes, who was a watchmaker by trade, upon completion of the house. One of the interesting recollections of this paper is the painstaking effort by Mr. Hammes to explain the philosophy of the dial, pointing out how it told the time of day. He was a genial old soul, and seemed to take an especial delight in explaining the methods of telling the time of day. He and his wife and daughter have long since been gathered to their fathers!

CLARA E. WATTS, 48, and William E. Watts, 64, who secured a license at Santa Ana Monday to remarry, were rejoined as man and wife late in the afternoon by Judge H. I. Spence, justice of the peace at Fullerton. Mr. and Mrs. Watts are residents of Gardena and were married in August of last year. Repetition of the wedding ceremony was said to have been for the purpose of establishing the relationship previously questioned by relatives of Mrs. Watts. The ceremony was performed while Mrs. Watts sat in a sedan, her grippled condition preventing her going to the office of the justice of the peace. Two alienists were present to vouch for the sanity of the woman.

Early Day History of San Joaquin Ranch Miss Portia A. Riley Will Write Thesis for U. S. C. Miss Portia A. Riley of Los Angeles, granddaughter of De Witt C. Cowan, a pioneer resident of this city, will be here shortly to gather facts concerning the early history of the Irvine ranch. She is preparing a paper for the historical society of the University of Southern California. The following letter will explain itself: "200 N. Rampart Blvd., Los Angeles, California, October 22, 1927. Mr. Henry Kuchel, Editor Anaheim Gazette, My Dear Mr. Kuchel: 'You may recall a Mr. De Witt C. Cowan, who lived in Anaheim at West and Sycamore streets many years ago. He was my grandfather, and Portia Cowan, now Mrs. Spurgcon V. Riley, is my mother. This I state by way of introducing myself to you. I am preparing to write a thesis at the University of Southern California on the history of the ranch now familiarly known as the Irvine ranch, and am eagerly reaching out for any clew which might lead to information concerning the ranch, past and present. My aunts, with whom I live part of the time, the Misses Cowan, suggested to me this morning that, inasmuch as you have been so intimately associated with the history of Orange county, you might be able to assist me in finding some of these clews that I am so earnestly seeking. Especially am I interested in locating any members of families intimately connected with the history of the ranch, with whom I might confer. Such names as Irvine, Yorba, Sepulveda, etc., have been suggested to me, also that of the Pleasant family, beekeepers in early days in the Santiago canyon. If you know of any way in which I might be in contact with any of these' REBEKAHS AND ODD FELLOWS JOIN FORCES TO WELCOME GUESTS Six Hundred Members From Seventeen Lodges Royally Entertained Friday Evening; Deputy District Grand Patriarch, E. L. Harris of Long Beach, Acted as Chairman During Program Presentation ONE of the most enjoyable affairs in the lodge history of Anaheim was given at I. O. O. F. hall Friday evening, when the local Odd Fellows and Rebekahs entertained members of the various lodges of the Sixty-ninth district, which covers 17 districts. More than 600 visitors were present, among them being several high officials of the order. The principal addresses of the evening were delivered by Hjalmar Johnson of Pasadena, grand warden of the Grand Lodge of California; L. W. Colby of Pasadena, past grand patriarch of the Grand Encampment, and C. A. Palmer of Orange, past grand master of the Grand Lodge of California. Luncheon was served to the visitors, and dancing was indulged in at the close of the program, the Odd Fellows' orchestra of Orange furnishing the music. The grand and district officers of both the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs who were present were each introduced. They were: Hjalmar Johnson, grand warden, Grand Lodge of California, and C. A. Palmer, past grand master of the Grand Lodge of California, by C. V. Hardman of Brea, district deputy grand master. L. W. Colby, past grand patriarch, Grand Encampment, by Glenn Paterson, district deputy grand patriarch. Lieutenant-Colonel Funk, San Diego, and Adjutant Captain Clark, Los Angeles, by Captain W. D.

"Especially am I interested in locating any members of families intimately connected with the history of the ranch, with whom I might confer. Such names as Irvine, Yorba, Sepulveda, etc., have been suggested to me, also that of the Pleasant family, beekeepers in early days in the Santiago canyon. If you know of any way in which I might come in contact with any of these people, or with any others who would be able and willing to give information, I would be so grateful to learn of this from you. I have been led to believe that you would be most competent to give me the kind of information I am desiring. "Will you kindly inform me what is the earliest date of the Anaheim Gazette which is on file and may be available for use in tracing facts of early history of the vicinity? "I trust this will not be a burden to you, and I will truly appreciate any word you may send. "Thanking you in advance for your kindness, I am, "Very sincerely yours, "PORTIA A. RILEY. P. S.—I am doing this work with the University of Southern California under the direction of Dr. Owen C. Coy, head of the California State Historical Association." Miss Riley will have a conference with Judge J. E. Pleasants, who knows more about the early history of the San Joaquin ranch than any man now living. He was once, we believe, superintendent of the ranch. She will also have access to the arly files of The Gazette, and will doubtless find a fund of information bearing upon the subject. A number of our residents remember the Cowan family, who lived at the corner of West and Sycamore streets, and it will be a delight to meet her. Miss Riley is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Spurgeon V. Riley. Mrs. Riley was formerly Miss Portia Cowan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. De Witt C. Cowan, pioneer residents, who lived on West street near the corner of Sycamore, a short distance west of Mrs. Frohling's residence, referred to in an grand patriarch by deputy grand junior warden.

SERIOUSLY INJURED Robert Jensen, backfield star of the high school football team, sustained a serious injury to his right knee, while practicing with the squad a few afternoons ago. As he was running on the field he fell upon the adjoining sidewalk and suffered a bad cut of the knee cap. He was removed to his home, and physician immediately summoned. It was found necessary to place the knee in a plaster cast, and Bob will remain in bed for a week or two. He will probably not be able to play again this season. His loss to the team will be keenly felt, for he is one of the best players in the first string. Regrets is expressed by his associates and the entire student body for his injury. Bob last year won the gold medal for being the champion amateur swimmer in the state of California, and has won many laurels on the gridiron and track. His many friends sincerely hope he will soon be out again. C. W. Hyde, Jr., Julia A. Hyde, Karl D. Stuckeman and Inez M. Stuckeman are named as defendants in a suit for $824 filed by B. T. Beale. He asserts that in 1925 the defendants issued a promissory note for $2300 to Boris Myers, which later was assigned to the plaintiff. He claims that only $1425 and interest has been paid and that the full amount is due. Anastacio Lano, proprietor of a pool hall in Sonoratown, was knocked down by an auto while crossing Center street between blocks Saturday evening. The car was driven by Mrs. Mary Haines of West Anaheim. Lane was picked up and taken to a hospital, where it was found that his injuries were slight. He was sent to his home after an examination. other column. Mr. Riley was formerly county school superintendent of Los Angeles county, and was one of the state's foremost educators.
