BELIEVED ESCAPED MURDERER HIDING ABOUT FALLBROOK
William Oliver, escaped murderer, has been seen in the San Onofre canyon. He started across the hills toward Fallbrook.
Of that, Deputy Sheriffs Roy Ballard and O.K. Carr are satisfied, and today they are in the Fallbrook section horseback, and with other riders the section is being scoured for information that may lead to the capture of the murderer.
Oliver, while being held for murdering Joe Morales at Anaheim Landing on Nov. 5, appeared to be insane, and last week he was moved from the county jail to the county hospital. From his cell at the hospital he escaped.
Information secured yesterday indicate that Oliver is not insane.

CYPRESS TO GROW BEETS THIS YEAR
CYPRESS, Feb. 7 (Special)—When the armistice was signed Cypress folk went daffy with joy; they shouted, they sang,—in fact, each person had a different way of showing his joy.

Oliver, while being held for murdering Joe Morales at Anaheim Landing on Nov. 5, appeared to be insane, and last week he was moved from the county jail to the county hospital. From his cell at the hospital he escaped.
Information secured yesterday indicate that Oliver is not insane.
Sheriff Notified
Word that a man believed to be Olver had been seen at the south line of Orange county came yesterday to the sheriff's office through Fidel Sepulveda of San Juan Cabas-Trano. It was late in the day, and the two motorcycle officers, Ballard and Carr, had but little chance to get under way in their search for Oliver yesterday.
What they learned was substantially as follows:
In the canyon two miles above San Onofre is a camp. Sunday afternoon a man came down from the hills to the north and asked for something to eat, saying he would cut wood for his supper. He was given his supper and he chopped some wood. The men at the camp suggested he stay there all night, but the man said he must move on, he was anxious to reach the Red Mountain Ranch, which is the Fallbrook country, as soon as possible. He said he had been three days coming across the mountains from Elsinore, and had had nothing to eat. He left camp late Sunday evening. The next morning he appeared there again, and was given breakfast.
Appeared Sane
He appeared sane. When the men at the camp tried to direct him how to get to Fallbrook by the highways, the man said he preferred to cut across the hills. He left Monday morning.
When Dolores Yorba, who was in the camp, happened to be in San Juan Capittrano yesterday, he told Sepulveda and others about the affair. He said the man had tattoo marks on his arms. A description of Oliver was secured, and Yorba said it fitted the man.
When Oliver escaped he wore nothing but pajamas and socks. He was fully dressed when he was at the San Onofre camp.
Convinced He Was Oliver
Inquiry at the camp further convinced Ballard and Carr that the man who was at the camp was Oliver.
CYPRESS, Feb. 7 (Special)—When the armistice was signed Cypress folk went daffy with joy; they shouted, they sang—in fact, each person had a different way of showing his joy. When it rained the other day we just stood and smiled and "let her rain." Oscar Bunyard said that it was a most opportune rain. "Opportunity sounds alright and we will let it go at that. We do know that it was a fine rain and came just in time.
The Cypress mill shipped two carts of beans recently. The market has been and is very dull. The acreage to beans this season will be small, compared to that of last. Nearly all the ground adaptable to beets will be farmed to beets this year.
A letter from R. E. Vaughn tells of his recent illness. Vaughn met the flu in Old Missouri and he has been having one time of it. The thermometer forgot where zero was and got so far below that Vaughn is still wondering if it will ever get back up. Ice, snow, sleet and hail, combined with the flu, that's Missouri. Sunshine, rain and flowers, with golden oranges,—mix in a little flu, and you have California. We will take ours in Cypress.
James Ellins, a returned hero, was in town the other day. James did not get the Kaiser, but he came very near to it.
Cloy Ledford is home from train-was coming and threw up the sponge, so Cloy never got a Hun, which was not Cloy's fault.
Lawrence Weber, a young black-smith, is trying to break in a new motor-bike. Recently Lawrence attempted to head the bike toward Buena Park. Lawrence made the turn but the bike went on toward Anaheim. A telephone post stopped Lawrence, or he would have knocked five acres out of the southwest twenty.
O. P. Bunyard was dog bitten in plain daylight at the Cypress Mercantile establishment. O. P. is advocating a law to muzzle all dogs, especially the biting kind.
The bean pickers' unior of Cypress is getting very strong. There is talk of a strike. It is not known whether the strike applies to the bean pickers or to the men left at home to batch.
Riley Bradley, the bean king, after dissuading his internecine
He said the man had tattoo marks on his arms. A description of Oliver was secured, and Yorba said it fitted the man.
When Oliver escaped he wore nothing but pajamas and socks. He was fully dressed when he was at the San Onofre camp.
Convinced He Was Oliver
Inquiry at the camp further convinced Ballard and Carr that the man who was at the camp was Oliver. He may be heading for Mexico. If he has stopped at some ranch house in the Fallbrook hills doubtless he will be found. He may have gone on. Officers at Escondido and other places to the south have been notified to be on the lookout for the man.
Oliver escaped from the county hospital last Thursday night by beating a hole in the wall. He used a sidebar of an iron bed to smash his way out. He was tracked east to a point north of the north end of N. Main street, and no other trace of the man was found.

George Ross calls the attention of The Plain Dealer to a measure introduced in the legislature by Assemblyman Collins, of San Francisco, ostensibly directed at the use of sprays in varnishing because of supposedly injurious effect upon workmen, which, however, is so broad that it will prohibit the use of sprays on orchard work.
“If we couldn’t spray orchards, we might as well quit,” says Ross, who has written a letter to several legislators protesting against the measure.
