Landmark Disappears with Razing of Murillo An 80 year-old landmark was torn down recently in Olive. The building, a small house built of redwood, housed the family of Albert Murillo, 72, since 1891 and is believed to have been built approximately 20 years before that. Murillo, who has been Orange county Deputy Constable in Olive for years, moved to the home from Anaheim in 1891 at the age of 12 with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jose Murillo, pioneer residents of the county. Lumber for the homo, situated about a quarter-mile west of Olive on Anaheim-Olive rd., was probably brought from Northern California on the schooners which used to ply the coast from San Francisco to Newport harbor. Murillo recalls that the builder was an early Olive saloon keeper named Maguel Antunas. Latest member of the Murillo family to occupy the place was Floyd Celaya, Murillo's nephew. He sold the home to George Heinemann, Olive rancher, whose property adjoins it, and who did the razing job. It had fallen into disrepair during the past five years when it was unoccupied and had become an eyesore. According to Murillo, the land had been planted to peach trees and barley when he first moved there. As time wore on, the land was re-planted with orange trees and has been solid groves for some time.

As time wore on, the land was re-planted with orange trees and has been solid groves for some time. Red Tide Seen In Mexican Waters FORT MYERS, Fla. (P)—The "red tide" which killed millions of fish along the lower Florida west coast four years ago has been reported again. This time the site is near the lower gulf coast of Mexico, however, several hundred miles from Florida. Early Wiggins, veteran Fort Myers commercial fisherman, said he saw a 35-mile wide stretch of the reddish water about 70 miles northeast of Yucatan. Scientists said the "tide" was a host of tiny organisms which choked fish to death by using up all the oxygen in the water. They are still trying to find why these organisms, always present in small numbers, suddenly appeared in such multitudes. BILLION SAFE MILES MEMPHIS (P) — Chicago and Southern Air Lines reported today that it had completed one billion miles of safe flying. It said the air lines hasn't had a fatal accident since Aug. 6, 1936. It estimated that 2,294,010 passengers had been carried safely. Animal Shelter Rates Skunks Tops LONG BEACH (P)—Pete, the personality polecat, has his admirers standing in line. No movie star, besieged at a premiere by authograph hunters, was ever so popular as Pete. The city animal shelter says it received 750 calls yesterday from persons who want to adopt this three-year-old civet. He's odorless, and of course that helps, but he's an unusually friendly creature, and the animal shelter says the 750 calls constitute a new record. The old record was 250 calls. It was established by a skunk, too. The shelter once received 100 calls for an alligator. Dogs—the telephone-seldom rings for a dog. Gratitude BALTIMORE (P)—The Cohens invited their neighbor, Miss Ida R. Block, over to watch television. While leaving the darkened apartment, Miss Block contends, she tripped over a rolled-up rug and fell, breaking her wrist. So yesterday she filed a suit against Mr. and Mrs. Louis Cohen for $10,000 in damages.

Center St. — Anaheim zing of Murillo House Mexico Refuses Barbara Hutton Quick Divorce MEXICO CITY (P)—Barbara Hutton, wan and disappointed, arranged to leave Mexico tonight after losing her try for a quick divorce. Whether she will keep on trying to divorce Prince Igor Troubetskoy, or will seek some other solution to her troubles was a question. Friends reported she had not decided on her next move. She appeared to have three choices—to continue the fight in Cuernavaca court, to file suit in some other country (her husband's lawyers say, that is impossible while the Cuernavaca action is pending), or to arrange with the prince for an uncontested divorce. It was Prince Igor's objection which blocked her efforts to divorce him—her fourth husband—with speed and secrecy. He was notified by posting of the divorce plea and attacked the validity of the suit. They claim the Morelos state law—Cuernavaca is the capital—requires non-resident defendants (Troubetskoy is in Paris) to be notified by registered mail. Since that was not done, they have asked the court to throw out the suit. The five and dime heiress meanwhile bought seats for herself and two French maids on a New York plane.

It has been used for the past five years and had become unsightly be disrepair. holding Method Has Put Dent First-Minute Tax Filing System GTON (P) — Midnight the deadline for filing the tax returns, but it's pretty much a cinch that most of the 52 million Americans who have to file them already have done so. The withholding tax system instituted back in 1943 has put a terrific dent in the old American custom of waiting until the last minute to file a return which had to be accompanied by a cash payment. Nowadays, in about six out of 10 cases, it pays to file a return. Some 29 million of those who do so can look forward to a refund because they've been nicked for more withholding taxes than the total amount they owe. The only way to get a refund is to make a return showing that the total tax due has been overpaid, and the sooner the return is required non-resident defendants (Troubetskoy is in Paris) to be notified by registered mail. Since that was not done, they have asked the court to throw out the suit. The five and dime heiress meanwhile bought seats for herself and two French maids on a New York plane. Slight Error LOGANSPORT (P)—When Mr. and Mrs. William Berryman of Walton, Ind., got home from a shopping tour in nearby Peru and Logansport, their cash balance looked too low. They had officials in the two cities search parking meters. Fred Edgerly, Loganport city controller, said yes, they'd found a $2.50 gold quarter-eagle Berryman had dropped into a meter instead of a penny. Edgerly said he's hold the rare gold coin for Berryman. persons got refunds averaging about $55 on income tax returns for 1948. Income taxes were cut that spring, retroactive to the year's start.

Some 29 million of those who do so can look forward to a refund because they've been nicked for more withholding taxes than the total amount they owe. The only way to get a refund is to make a return showing that the total tax due has been overpaid, and the sooner the return is filed after the season opens Jan. 1, the sooner the refund—as a general rule. Not even the Internal Revenue Bureau knows just how many people have "applied for refunds" by early returns, but it says refunds had gone out to 6,537,649 taxpayers for a total of $305,781.267—an average of $46.65 each—at this month's start. The big annual refunding operation is just commencing to pick up speed, so refunds will flow faster in the next few weeks. Over 2,037,000 refunds, or nearly one third of the total made since Jan. 1, were crowded into the last week of February. The Revenue Bureau hopes to clean up by June 15 nearly all the $1,600,000,000 in estimated refunds. Interest must be paid on refunds not mailed before April 1. The interest amounts to one-half of one per cent a month, equivalent to 50 cents a month on a $100 refund. Delay can cost the government millions. Since the withholding tax system took effect in mid-1943, the government has paid back around $9 billion in refunds to those whose paychecks were nicked too deeply for taxes. The peak refund year was 1949, when approximately 36,600,000 White Temple Drama Group Heads with for Week of Road Touring The M-Y-F Footlighters, noted young people's dramatic from White Temple Methodist church of Anaheim, tomorrow for a one-week's tour of northern Californiazes, presenting Mary P.

Butter and his wife, the cast in Chuck Wiggins, Mary Myrna Lewellyn, Don Shelly Smith, Gordon Heron, Loren Herman and awards, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. Bonney will also accompany the troupe. All expenses of the tour will be met by freewill offerings received at the performances. Last summer this group carried the name of Anaheim clear up to the Canadian border with a roadshow tour of the Pacific Northwest presenting Dorothy Clark Wilson's "The Brother." "The present play," states the Rev. Mr. Butterworth, "is another tremendous emotional vehicle which taxes the acting ability of the players to the utmost. We believe that the portrayal of these difficult roles is both a religious experience and an adventure in self-expression." Wiggins, who plays the lead, is Minister of Youth at White Temple and formerly starred in plays at Redlands directed by the Rev. Mr. Butterworth. Hilton-Taylor Rift Vanishing?
