FACTS ABOUT THE CITY OF ANAHEIM Population 13,000 Assessed Valuation $12,266,185 Building Permits 439,832 VOLUME LIX GAZETTE PASSES PAPER IS NOW IN FIFTY-NINTH VOLUME FIRST ISSUE MADE ITS APPEARANCE OCT. 29, 1870 Encountered a Few Lean Periods in Its Early Struggles, But Has Never Missed An Issue; Has Been Under the Present Management and Editorship for More Than Forty Years On the 29th of October the Gazette entered upon the 59th year of its existence. The first issue appeared on October 29, 1870, and was owned, edited, published and printed by George W. Barter. In his salutatory Mr. Barter says that out of a multitude of friends only six were optimistic enough to believe that he would succeed in this small 'Flu' Epidemic In the County Is Not Relieved With 130 new cases of influenza reported to the county health department, with all the schools in the Fullerton and Placentia school districts closed Monday, and with more than 500 pupils reported out of schools in the Santa Ana city school district last Thursday, there was no marked improvement in the "flu" situation throughout the county. New cases reported Tuesday morning to the county health department follow: Santa Ana, 43; Anaheim, 5; Brea, 8; Fullerton, 27; Placentia, 24; El Modena, 1; Talbert, 2; Irvine, 1; Orange, 2; San Juan Capistrano, 4; Costa Mesa, 3. All schools in the Fullerton district, including the high school, were closed Monday owing to low attendance due to the influenza epidemic. Similar action was taken at Placentia. The schools in La Habra closed a few days ago. Rumors that the Santa Ana school board was contemplating the closing of the senior high school were dented Tuesday at the board of education offices. On the contrary, it was ex- On the 29th of October the Gazette entered upon the 59th year of its existence. The first issue appeared on October 29, 1870, and was owned, edited, published and printed by George W. Barter. In his salutatory Mr. Barter says that out of a multitude of friends only six were optimistic enough to believe that he would succeed in this small community, surrounded by an unreclaimed wilderness. It was the unanimous opinion of his pessimistic advisors that this region could never grow as the small town was surrounded by an unbroken desert, fit only for the growing of cactus, sage and wild mustard. Mr. Barker, however, believed that the little hamlet had a future, and he made the venture. He conducted the paper for a few years and established it on a firm foundation, then disposed of it and moved to Los Angeles, which had grown into a large city of nearly 10,000 population. During the passing years it changed ownership several times, but it always was a loyal and undaunted champion of the town, and the people stood loyalty by it and supported it. In the early decades of its existence several other papers sprang up in the town, but they all succumbed for want of sustenance, while the Gazette continued to appear on its regular publication day. Since its birth hundreds of papers have been born in the Southland, many of them in more populous centers, but a large majority gave up the ghost and ceased to exist. The San Diego Union is the only paper that can dispute with it the title of being the oldest newspaper printed below the Tehachapi. It began its career the same year, and both can boast of a continuous publication. The Gazette has not missed an issue. When this paper was founded the population was composed almost wholly by the ploneers, members of the Mother colony and their families. The corporation which founded it was known as the Los Angeles Vineyard company, and the object of the colonists in purchasing the site was to grow grapes and convert them into wine and brandy, as the California soil and climate was favorable for this industry. When the paper began its career there were forty-seven wineries and nine distilleries within the square mile of territory which composed the domain of the colonists, and which was the extent of the city limits. At that time the town was hedged in by a dence row of willows surrounding it, planted and maintained for the purpose of protecting the vines from raids by horsees and cattle, always roaming the desert and looking for something green to eat. There have been many changes since that early day. The blight which destroyed the vineyards forty years ago, started most of the growers into new ventures. Some of them planted new vineyards, but a majority decided to engage in other pursuits. A number of farmers turned to vitreous fruit and almonds. Francisco probably to remain for some months, attending to the business of the firm in that direction. "Lee & Company's celebrated mammoth circus is announced to perform here on Tuesday of the coming week. The press throughout the state speaks in universal praise of this company. "The charter for Anaheim Lodge, No. 207, Free and Accepted Masons, has been received. Following are the officers-elect of the lodge, who will be duly installed on Thursday, Nov. 17th: T. Casal, W. M.; W. M. McFadden, S. W.; G. W. Vance, J. W.; Theodore Reiser, Treas.; Fred W. Athearns, Secy." "The fields in the environs of Anaheim are covered with newly spring verdure, and the foothills and plains in every direction glisten in new clad emerald. The country is safe." "During the week three persons confined in the city calaboose got free from their manacles, broke down the door and fled during the night. "A private letter received from A. Langenberger, Esq., now in Europe, states that he will not return before next May, he being detained to settle the estate of his father, lately deceased. "By referring to our list of exports from Anaheim Landing it will be observed that the principal shipments to San Diego are breadstuffs. So it seems at last that the day has come when Anaheim feeds San Diego. "The demand for California champagne has doubled within the last sixty days, though prices have not advanced. Langenberger & Co., sold over one thousand dozen last month to retailers, and have orders in advance for this month's product. "The next two-story building erected by M. Callisher, Esq., and the proprietor of the Gazette, is about completed and will be occupied both by the Gazette establishment and the general merchandise store of Mr. Callisher during the coming week." "During the week our city was visited by three billious looking critters who hang up at San Gabriel and pay tribute to Los Angeles. They growled and said: 'Anahale would never amount to anything, because it would not grow.' We advise our dystepic neighbors to read the Book of Fate, for it is not written therein that the only way to meet our needs."

At that time the town was hedged in by a dence row of willows surrounding it, planted and maintained for the purpose of protecting the vines from raids by horses and cattle, always roaming the desert and looking for something green to eat. There have been many changes since that early day. The blight which destroyed the vineyards forty years ago, started most of the growers into new ventures. Some of them planted new vineyards, but a majority decided to engage in other pursuits. A number of them turned to citrus fruit, and although the early growers, before the co-operative associations were established, found the business unprofitable, but from this small beginning was founded the industry that has made this region the most prolific on earth, and the land which, when this paper was born, was only a desert, is now the most valuable in the world. The Gazette has witnessed this evolution, and has chronicled every step of its advancement. And the little hamlet of only a few hundred people in which Mr. Barter was courageous enough to launch his paper, has grown into a beautiful and prosperous city of nearly 15,000 population. From the first issue of the Gazette we call the following items: "Married—In this city on the 2nd, inst., at the residence of the bride's parents, H. D. Polhemus, Esq., to Emma M. Hanna, both of this city. No cards (San Francisco and Alameda papers please copy). Mr. Polhemus is a prosperous and highly respected young merchant and real estate dealer of this place; is both temperate and plaus, and bears with him to elysian state of matrimony the best wishes of his bachelor friends, whom we trust will not forsake him in his new phase of life. The bride, Miss Hanna, is one of the most accomplished, gifted and lovely young ladies of our county. May prosperity attend them both throughout their latest days of life." Here are a few other items which we cull from the local page: "The steamer of Tuesday last bore away B. Dreyfus, Esq., of the firm of Langenberger & Co. He goes to San "The next two-story building erected by M.

Ninety-one pupils were enrolled in the public schools at the time this paper was printed. The schools were divided into two rooms, a grammar and a primary. J. M. Guinn was principal and Jennie Swift teacher of the primary. In this issue is printed the roll of honor, which contains the following names: Primary—Francisco Rodrigo, Emma Werder, Clem Schmidt, Frances Schmidt, A.

Stephen Kistler, who has been quite seriously ill for several months past, has recovered sufficiently to be able to drive into town and attend to his business affairs again. Mrs. Kistler returned from a tour of Europe just previous to Mr. Kistler's illness. She visited Paris, then spent some time in Switzerland and Germany.

AHEIM GAZETT Anaheim, California, Thursday, November 29, 1928 ISSUES ITS FIFTY=EIGHTH A ELEVEN CITIES TO CONFER AT PASADENA REPRESENTATIVES WILL DISCUSS PLANS TO FORM WATER DISTRICT Mayor L. E. Miller Chosen By Council As Anaheim’s Member of the Board; Conference Will Be Held on Saturday; County Health Officer Makes Report on Flu Epidemic Here A meeting of the Colorado River Aqueduct association will be held at Pasadena Saturday, which will be participated in by representatives of the eleven cities which voted to join the district. Mayor L. E. Miller was chosen by the council Thursday night to act as Anaheim’s representative on the Farmers of County Lose in Marketing American Farm Bureau Federation Gives Some Figures Because prices received per unit for the produce marketed by the farmers of Orange county did not advance in the ten years between 1917 and 1927 in proportion to the prices paid by consumers for this same produce, every farmer in this county was poorer last year by $324.50. There are 4466 farms in Orange county, according to the federal farm census of 1925, and figuring the loss in farm income for the entire county, it climbs to the considerable total of $1,449,217, a sum sufficient to capitalize several strong banks. What became of this fortune and what is being done by organized farmers to check further leaks are subjects which farmers of Orange county are asked to consider by John Osterman of T1 Toro president of the Orange County Farm Bureau. M. S. Winder of Chicago executive secretary of the American Farm Bureau Federation, has sent Mr. Osterman a thoughtful explanation of this tremendous loss.

Bloodgood of Brookhurst avenue, in the Orangethorpe district, near this city, met a tragic death when her car was A meeting of the Colorado River Aqueduct association will be held at Pasadena Saturday, which will be participated in by representatives of the eleven cities which voted to join the district. Mayor L. E. Miller was chosen by the council Thursday night to act as Anaheim's representative on the board, and expects to attend the meeting and assist in the deliberations. Preliminary discussion of plans for the permanent organization that will be formed as soon as the secretary of state certifies the organization of the district, from the election results, is scheduled at the Pasadena gathering. Winley said. The district, while it will take no steps until passage of the Swing-Johnson bill by congress is effected, wants to be fully organized to let congress know that it is ready to utilize the fruits of the Swing-Johnson bill, and that claims made on behalf of the bill, with respect to its bearing upon the development of Southern California, are no empty arguments. The eleven cities of Anaheim, Burbank, Beverly Hills, Glendale, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Santa Monica, San Marina, San Bernardino, Colton and Santa Ana, having a combined assessed valuation of $2,273,464,367, voted to join the district, only two cities, one of which was Orange, rejecting the proposition. Ordinance 528, incorporating certain streets in the boulevard traffic zones, was passed by an unanimous vote. Appointment by Police Chief J. S. Bouldin of E. T. Caverly as a deputy patrolman to serve without pay, was approved. Conforming with character provisions the council authorized the transfer of $33,218.34 from the general fund to various special funds to meet current expenses. Police Chief Bouldin reported 24 arrests in Anaheim during October. Fines aggregating $850 were collected from liquor violators. Two prisoners drew jail sentences, two were turned over to the juvenile authorities, two had check cases, and one theft case, are pending, and one lucky prisoner was freed. The council ordered insurance policies with the state compensation commission renewed. The monthly report of Dr. K. H. Sutherland, county health officer covering the activities of his department In Anaheim during October, was read and approved. Demands against the city aggregating $10,605.22, approved by the finance committee, were ordered paid. A protest from Carl Schnitzler, 115 South Thalia street, against the planting of trees in front of his walnut grove, which has never been subdivided, was read. Mayor Miller announced that the proposed ordinance did not include tree planting under such circumstances. Schnitzler did not protest against the loss in farm income for the entire county; it climbs to the considerable total of $1,419,217, a sum sufficient to capitalize several strong banks. What became of this fortune and what is being done by organized farmers to check further leaks are subjects which farmers of Orange county are asked to consider by John Osterman of 71 Toro president of the Orange County Farm Bureau. M. S. Winder of Chicago executive secretary of the American Farm Bureau Federation, has sent Mr. Osterman a thoughtful explanation of this tremendous loss. "In 1917 when agriculture was enjoying prosperity," says Mr. Winder, "the consumer was paying $1.65 for a unit of farm produce. Out of this amount the farmer was getting $1, while the remaining 65 cents was paid for distribution costs. In the ten years since then the cost of the same unit of farm produce to the consumer has advanced to $1.72. "If the farmer was receiving the same proportionate amount as in 1917 his income from this unit of farm produce would be $1.04. Unfortunately, however, the farmer is receiving only 73 cents per unit—not $1.04. The distribution cost, which in 1917 was only 65 cents, is now 99 cents. Thus it is plainly seen that the farmer is losing 31 cents on the average for every unit of produce marketed from his farm." According to the latest statistics, an average of $1800 is annually received by each farmer for the things he has for sale, and dividing the consumer's unit cost of $1.72 into this, it is revealed that the farmer sells annually 1047 units of produce. On this loss of 31 cents per unit totals $234.50. If the income is larger the loss is proportionally greater. "The problem, then," adds Mr. Winder, "is to recover as much as possible of the lost 31 cents per unit and it is to the accomplishment of this task that the American Farm Bureau Federation, largest organization of farmers in the history of the world, has set itself. "No doubt part of the 31 cents has gone to pay increased transportation charges. More of it is used up in inefficient marketing, in speculation and in wasteful practices, which we are not able to combat because agriculture is the disposal of its products. Lack of not organized to bargain effectively for the disposal of its products. Lack of favorable legislation and unfair tariff rulings account for some of the 31 cents, while another factor contributing to the loss is lack of adequate information with which we might protect our interests. "I think you will agree with me that in disposing of our products we must invariably pay the transportation charges. To help ourselves, however, organized farmers persuaded Congress to pass the Hoch-Smith resolution which aims to bring about adjustments in freight rates that would be to the advantage of agriculture." This year the Transportation Department of the American Farm Bureau Federation has been exerting its influence to have the lenty hearings on problems arising in Pomona College. Miss Margaret Bloodgood, 20 years of age, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Floodgood of Brookhurst avenue, in the Orangesthorpe district, near this city, met a tragic death when her car was struck by a Pacific Electric train near Pomona Friday evening. Miss Bloodgood, who is a student at Pomona College, had started home for the week-end when the accident occurred. The girl alone in her auto drove onto the tracks in the path of the approaching car. Hearing a warning whistle as the motorman set his brakes, she swerved her auto, but it was struck a glancing blow by the trolley car and overturned. Death, believed due to a fractured skull, occurred before aid could be rendered. Only two days before the accident her mother and brother John had sailed on a Hamburg-American liner for a tour of Europe. A radio message to the vessel caught Mrs. Bloodgood in the canal zone and an answer from her announced that she would leave the vessel at the first stop and would return by the first ship but it would be nineteen days before she could reach home. Funeral services were held at Pomona yesterday afternoon; Mrs. Louis Danz of Anaheim having charge and reading the Christian Science service. An inquiry was held Monday at Theodd and Reeves funeral parlors, Pomona, the verdict being accidental death. The Bloodgoods have been residents of this section for 16 years, and are prominent in affairs of Northern Orange county. Mr. Bloodgood is a trustee of The Fullerton school district. Anaheim Man Held After Accident Young Girl in His Auto Killed in Mysterious Crash Mystery surrounding the finding of the body of a beautiful young girl on the highway near Cooyote Creek bridge yesterday morning, was cleared when Lester Rombaugh, of Anaheim, revealed her identity and events which led to her death according to word received from Los Angeles. Under questioning of deputy sheriffs, Rombaugh, at first reticent, said the girl was Miss Lea Wiley, 19, daughter of a Los Angeles cement contractor. Rombaugh admitted he had been drinking heavily in celebration of his 23rd birthday and could not give a detailed explanation of the action of the evening.

Mayor Miller announced that the proposed ordinance did not include tree planting under such circumstances. Schnitzler did not protest against the planting of trees in front of his residence property. No other protests against the proposed tree planting ordinance were received and it was announced the ordinance would be brought before the council for action at its next meeting. Former Anaheimer Dies at Long Beach U. S. Amack Passes After a Short Illness U. S. Amack, aged 59 years, who for over twenty years was a resident of Anaheim, but who for the past two years has made his home in Long Beach, died in that city at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, following an attack of the flu, terminating in pneumonia. Deceased first complained of feeling ill only five days previous to his death. Those left to mourn his demise are his widow, a son, Wayne, of this city, and Mrs. Fay Morris, a daughter of Long Beach, who has been making her home with her parents. Dr. Sue Amack of Anaheim is a sister of deceased. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Huddle funeral chapel in the beach city, Rev. G. A. Anderson, pastor of the People's church of this city, officiating Services at the mosque in Long Beach were in charge of the Anahelm Odd Fellows' Lodge, of which he was a member. A large number from here were in attendance. Efficient modern marketing machinery, as provided through co-operative marketing associations, Mr. Winder says, are doing much to eliminate the expense of inefficient and archaic marketing methods, but to further strengthen this new agricultural resource, he says, a national agricultural policy is needed. Tariff control," he continues, "a settlement of the Muscle Shoals problem, making cheap fertilizer available, pest control, and other remedies for our distress, if obtainable, will all assist in bringing back some part of the lost 31 cents. Our crying need, however, is a bargaining power, which will enable us to determine the price we shall receive for what we sell. This can only become possible through national legislation which recognizes the right of the farmer to the same protection that other groups, like the bankers, the railroads or labor enjoy under Federal statutes. If every farmer could realize the importance of membership and the influence membership in this organization can exert on our elaborate program of service to the farmers, you would not rest until you have lined up behind your local Farm Bureau leaders." I think you will agree with me that in disposing of our products we must invariably pay the transportation charges. To help ourselves, however, organized farmers persuaded Congress to pass the Hoch-Smith resolution which aims to bring about adjustments in freight rates that would be to the advantage of agriculture. This year the Transportation Department of the American Farm Bureau Federation has been exerting its influence to have the lenty hearings on problems arising under this Hoch-Smith resolution brought to a conclusion so that the freight reductions Congress intended the farmer to enjoy, can be made possible. Every dollar we save in transportation costs is going to help recover some of that lost 31 cents. When you join your local Farm Bureau you help to back that task of reducing freight rates on farm produce." An oil field employe on his way to work discovered Miss Wiley with Rombaugh standing over her body. Rombaugh suffered severe lacerations about the face and was removed to the prison ward of general hospital, Los Angeles, where he was ordered held on a suspicion of manslaughter charge. Rombaugh resides on a ranch at the corner of Gilbert avenue and Orange road, southwest of Fullerton, Anaheim police said. Bicycle Rider Is Run Over By Auto A. P. Standridge, $25 North Philadelphia street, was painfully injured Saturday when he was struck by a car driven by Mike Casper. 406 South Philadelphia street, according to a police report. He was crossing the intersection of East Center street and Placentia avenue on a bicycle. The driver lost control of the car, it was said, the machine running over Standridge. Casper then ran the car into an orange grove. The extent of Standridge's injuries have not been determined, it is said. Mystery surrounding the finding of the body of a beautiful young girl on the highway near Cooyote Creek bridge yesterday morning, was cleared when Lester Rombaugh, of Anaheim, revealed her identity and events which led to her death, according to word-received from Los Angeles. Under questioning of deputy sheriffs, Rombaugh, at first reticent, said the girl was Miss Lea Wiley, 19, daughter of a Los Angeles cement contractor. Rombaugh admitted he had been drinking heavily in celebration of his 23rd birthday and could not give a detailed explanation of the action of the evening. He said he and Miss Wiley attended a show in Santa Ana, then went to Signal Hill while he picked up his working clothes and were enroute to Miss Wiley's home when the crash occurred. Deputy sheriffs believed that Rombaugh either fell asleep at the wheel or lost control of his automobile while it ran into a telegraph pole at the side of the road. An oil field employe on his way to work discovered Miss Wiley with Rombaugh standing over her body.

Roberts himself was nursing a sore abdomen, where the deer floored him, and a wound in the leg, where one prong of the buck's horns gored him. The officer and his companion entered the deer corral, not suspecting that the head of the family was in any but the usual gentle mood. However, when Roberts approached the fawn, the buck stepped forward with lowered horns. Roberts picked up a stick and tapped the horns warningly. The next moment the buck planted his forehead solidly in the officer's midsection and floored him neatly. Roberts leaped to his feet and seized the buck by the horns, only to be hurled aside, receiving the leg wound then. The other man also seized the buck's horns and was hurled completely off his feet. ANAHEIM PLANS DECORATIONS FOR STREETS CHRISTMAS TREES TO BE ERECTED IN BUSINESS SECTION BY MERCHANTS Trees to Be Planted in Holes Drilled for Flags in Front of Each Business House; Will Be Brilliantly Lighted By the City at Night, But Merchants Must Buy the Trees; All Trimmed With Holiday Decorations The holiday season, always the most joyous in the whole year, is to be enlivened this year by a new stunt, for which credit must be given to the Merchants' and Manufacturers' association. Two hundred Christmas trees, brilliant- Union’s Franchise Delayed for Month Fullerton Council Forgot to Provide Necessary Ordinance There is a hitch in the proceedings to grant a franchise by the Fullerton City Council to the Union Oil company for a pipe line to carry water from the Santa Ana river to lands north of Fullerton, and the people of all Northern Orange county who were opposed to the action, are well pleased. The delay is only temporary, however, but it will be a month before further action can be taken. While Councilmen O. A. Kreighbaum, William Potter and J. S. Elder forced through a motion at the last council meeting, authorizing the sale of a pipeline franchise to the oil company, in their haste to dispose of hits much discussed, and much-opposed, matter, failed to formally instruct City Attorney F. H. Lyon to prepare the necessary ordinance. Soon after the council meeting Trustee Kreighbaum left on an eastern trip that is expected to keep him away at least a month. This leaves the council in hopeless deadlock as neither Trustee W. L. Hale or Mayor Bert Annin will consent to aid the franchise granting move to any extent whatsoever. The result is that the city attorney will not be instructed to proceed with the ordinance until the first meeting of the council to be held after the return of Trustee Kreighbaum. The ordinance will then have to be given three readings at as many successive meetings, a delay which opponents of the measure are expected to take full advantage of in pressing a move for a public referendum on the question. Echoes of the conflict between the Anaheim Union Water company, supported by all the water users in this section of the county, and the city councilmen of Fullerton in regard to the Union Oil company pipe line franchise, reverberated through the Placenta Chamber of Commerce meeting Trees to Be Planted in Holes Drilled for Flags in Front of Each Business House; Will Be Brilliantly Lighted By the City at Night, But Merchants Must Buy the Trees; All Trimmed With Holiday Decorations The holiday season, always the most joyous in the whole year, is to be enlivened this year by a new stunt, for which credit must be given to the Merchants' and Manufacturers' association. Two hundred Christmas trees, brilliantly lighted and suitably decorated, will be strung along Center and Los Angeles street and at night when the trees are lighted, the spectacle will be a pleasing one and a reminder to all who pass that this is the Yuletide season, and that the day when Santa Claus will make his annual visit is rapidly approaching. It will be an attractive display to the thousands of tourists from the frozen East and North who will pass through on these streets. It is proposed to set a Christmas tree in front of every store in the business district, on Center street, between Philadelphia and Helena, and on Los Angeles, between Broadway and Sycamore. These trees, 200 in number, will each be 10 feet in height and will be strung with the usual Christmas decorations, including a dozen or more lights, and they will be firmly set in the holes placed in the sidewalks for flags. The city of Anaheim is co-operating with the association in the scheme. The city will hang the lights and string the wires as well as furnish the juice necessary to light them every night during the Christmas season. The cost to each individual merchant is $8 per tree, some have only one tree, others have two or three. Fraternal organizations having club-houses are expected to co-operate to the extent of decorating the trees in front of their buildings, and residents of the city have been urged to join in the program by decorating trees in front of their residences. The scheme is a part of the general plan sponsored by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce to call particular attention to Southern California and it is reported here that a number of cities have approved the project and will decorate. Unloaded’ Gun Shoots Girl in Eye Lying at County Hospital With Outcome Uncertain The "unloaded" gun was blamed for the shooting of a young girl at Delhi Saturday afternoon, causing a wound which probably will cause her death.

Echoes of the conflict between the Anaheim Union Water company, supported by all the water users in this section of the county, and the city councilmen of Fullerton in regard to the Union Oil company pipe line franchise, reverberated through the Placentia Chamber of Commerce meeting Tuesday, when H. H. Hale, president of the Anaheim Union, stated that the water company had not stopped its light with the Fullerton city trustees and that every effort would be made to keep the Union Oil company from getting the water. "If the Union Oil takes 150 inches of water, there is absolutely nothing to prevent James Irvine, Jacob Stern, Loftus, or anyone else from coming in and each taking 150 inches of water," Hale said. "The water level in the wells in this valley is steadily decreasing and water is to be a serious problem in the near future." Mrs. O. T.

The "unloaded" gun was blamed for the shooting of a young girl at Delhi Saturday afternoon, causing a wound which probably will cause her death. The girl, Rosie Celaya, 15, is in the Orange County hospital battling for her life with a bullet hole through the left eye socket and lodged against the right side of her skull. Two youths, Billy Gallages, 11, and Antonio Santayo, 16, are being held in the county detention home pending the outcome of the girl's fight for life and while deputy sheriffs investigate the case. They were taken into custody by A. L. Steward, deputy sheriff, who was called to Delhi when it was reported that a girl was lying in the ball field there. According to the story told by the officer, Billy shot Rosie as she and her sister walked across the ball field. The gun was the property of Santayo, who had handed it to Billy, it was said, while he went to get cartridges for the gun. Billy did not know the gun was loaded; he is said to have told the officer and when he pointed it at the girl had no intention of shooting her. Following the shooting, Santayo hid the gun under the home of Ben Martínez, at Delhi, where he found it. Santayo and Gallages were taken to the juvenile home. Physicians at the Orange county hospital, where the Celaya girl was taken, said that her condition was extremely serious. There was a hope they said that she would recover, but the sight of the eye is permanently ruined, they declared.
