He questioned her and she said her husband had gone back along the street to pick up an article that had dropped from the car. Evans said that he watched the automobile and saw the woman leave it with a hack-saw in her hand. He followed her and discovered the man working to open the front door of the R. M. Stephens store. When he ordered them to throw up their hands, Evans reported, the man and woman began firing at him with revolvers. Before he could draw his gun, he said, the couple had dodged out of sight and escaped, leaving their car behind them.

The tragedy occurred at the beautiful Willard home in Tustin about 2 p.m. yesterday when, after thoroughly saturating her clothing with gasoline, the woman walked from the house into the front yard and set fire to it with a match. Apparently she attempted to put out the flames as the hydrant was found turned on in the yard. She was discovered, writhing in agony, in the bathtub, when her daughter Miss Evelyn Willard, re-turned from high school. She rushed to the home of a neighbor, Mrs. Chas, Artz, a neighbor, and a physician was called but it was too late for him to be of any assistance. All her clothing had been burned from her body, with the exception of the shoes. She is survived by two other daughters, Valeda Willard, bookkeeper, and June, 11, grammar school pupil.

BOY FOUND ASLEEP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD A strange case came to the attention of the Fullerton police yesterday. Night shift oil workers driving in from the hills Thursday night beyond Brea came upon what they at first supposed to be a dead man stretched out in the highway, but which investigation proved to be a youth, fast asleep.

GAS-TIGHT TENTS ARE DEMONSTRATED The first real test this year of the new rubber gas-tight fumigating tents has been made in So. Calif. this week and are proving of much interest to local growers, George Sleep, fumigation inspector, stated, who was an interested observer at the experiments at Corona last night where a string of 35 tents made by the Goodyear Rubber Co. of Los Angeles is being tested out by Professors Quayle and Knight of the Riverside Citrus Experiment station and Prof. Glwogum of the Calif. Fruit Growers' Exchange. Fumigators from all over the southland are being shown hod to handle these rubber tents. They will be demonstrated in Orange-co for the first time in the La Habra district, probably next week. Altho the rubber tents represent considerable more initial expense, the claim is made for them that they do better work with less than half the amount of gas needed with canvas tents. WELL DOWN 1700 FT. AT GARDEN GROVE The Standard test well at Garden Grove is at 1700 feet and drilling slowly, having struck more hard-hard. Excitement continues in the district with $50 per acre bonus being offered for leases and $5 per month rental.

Night shift oil workers driving in from the hills Thursday night beyond Bren came upon what they at first supposed to be a dead man stretched out in the highway, but which investigation proved to be a youth, fast asleep. They roused him and after a few questions, answers to which convinced them he was entirely responsible, they brought him into Fullerton and turned him over to the police. Examined by Justice French yesterday, he gave the name of Sam Todisco, his home as Los Angeles, and his age as 18 years. He is of Italian parentage, and said he had gotten as far as the eighth grade in grammar school. When found asleep in the highway he was contless and hatless, but was not injured in any way, which disposed of any theory that he might have been the victim of an automobile accident. He gave a rambling account of his wanderings since leaving Los Angeles several days ago, and had something to say about an experience in the office of a dentist as being responsible for his condition. He gave what was purported to be the Los Angeles address of his mother, but a telephone call developed that nothing was known about her at the address given. The boy had $1.25 in his possession. He was taken to Santa Ana for examination by county officials as to his sanity, and determination as to what disposition should be made of him.
