His friends in town were regaled with choice 25 Years Ago January 6, 1916 Bountiful rains during the past few days have been of inestimable benefit to this region. The rain began on Thursday night just in time to nip in the bud a frost that the weatherman had promised for southern California, and while it was not anticipated that the frost would do any damage in Anaheim, less favored sections would probably have experienced a severe freeze. It rained at various intervals during the next few days, and Monday Mr. Dickels gauge indicated a fall of 2.08 inches for the storm, making 5.75 for the season. This is not as large as the total on the same date last season, but it is a normal fall and is of inestimable value to growers. Snow fell in a number of places in the south last week, but in this section nothing but a gentle invigorating rain has interfered with our sunshine. The mountain ranges in the neighborhood are covered with a blanket of the beautiful, but when it reached the valleys below it was rain.

For a Christmas present Coroner Ey has the good luck to receive a lot 25x140 feet in the rapidly growing town of Hyde Park, Colorado, the fair giver being Laura J. Wing, whom the coroner insists he has never seen. As it costs upward of $3 to have the deed acknowledged before a Notary Public the Coroner is wondering what the fair Laura may have against him, or whether it would be in bad tast not to accept the lot at all. The coroner has been kind enough to offer the lot to us. If Laura goes with the lot, we take it—providing she pays the $3. Charley Tuffree, the seventeen year old son of J. K. Tuffree of Placentia, while attempting to put a cap upon a loaded cartridge on Monday was seriously injured by the explosion.
