This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding That Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others In This Field. Vol. XXIV—No. 273 MEXICANS NEED LEADER TO HELP THEM DIG WELL Now Able to Obtain Water Only from Water Peddlers of Their Own Race at Twenty Cents Per Bucketful That the Mexicans of the Swan tract at the north end of Lemon-st just north of the state highway are badly in need of water, and that it is difficult for them to get water for drinking purposes, is upon investigation found to be true. They are now able to obtain water only from water peddlers of their own race who bring it in barrels and dispose of it at 20c a pail. MORGAN JONES, 74, SUCCUMBS SUDDENLY OF HEART FAILURE Well-Known Rancher and Highly Respected Resident of Hansen Station Morgan Jones, for five years a rancher of the Hansen Station district, and one of the best known and most highly respected residents of that community, passed away suddenly at midnight Friday, at his home on Hansen-rd, of heart trouble. Mr. Jones made a business trip to Los Angeles Friday, returning to his home about 9 o'clock. He was met at a neighbors by Mrs. Jones and together they proceeded to their homes about a quarter of a mile distant. They had nearly reached their home. But, on the other hand, that W. S. B. Lawrie, who owns a ranch and a pump house nearby and who in the past has been furnishing some water to the Mexicans is under no obligations to supply them, and is quite unable to do so now under the increasing demands of his ranch, is true also. Mr. Lawrie has done everything possible in the past, and is not responsible for the present state of affairs. He has worked as hard to meet the situation, possibly, as a man of his age could do. But that there is a condition existing there that does need serious attention cannot be denied. Those people need water and they need it badly. It is a condition to demand the attention of the C. of C. or other civic bodies, insofar as it lies outside the city limits and cannot be handed by the city council. The Mexicans purchased their homes there, knowing that the tract was without a water supply. Never- Morgan Jones, for five years a rancher of the Hansen Station district, and one of the best known and most highly respected residents of that community, passed away suddenly at midnight Friday, at his home on Hansen-rd, of heart trouble. Mr. Jones made a business trip to Los Angeles Friday, returning to his home about 9 o'clock. He was met at a neighbors by Mrs. Jones and together they proceeded to their homes about a quarter of a mile distant. They had nearly reached their home when Mrs. Jones noticed her husband breathing heavily. It was with difficulty she succeeded in getting him into the house. She immediately summoned a physician. When he arrived, all that medical skill and science could do was no avail, and he passed away shortly after midnight. Several weeks ago Mr. Jones suffered a severe attack of penumonia which affected his heart and weakened him generally, and it is that night have overtaxed his strength in going to Los Angeles. The deceased was born in Waukasan, Wis., 74 years old, and resided there for 57 years, taking an active part in the building up of the community, and being interested in some extent in politics. He was a dairyman by occupation, owning one of the largest dairies in that part of the state, and was instrumental in establishing certified milk in Wisconsin. For nine years, previous to coming to Orange county, he was a resident of S. Pasadena. He was a lover of the open, and since coming to this community he has lived more or less of a retired life, taking great pleasure in his ranch, and his home. Besides the widow, he is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Daniel Jenkins Williams of Codar Rapids, In., Mrs. Robert Williams of Cleveland, Ohio, and Mrs. Joseph Williams of Milwaukee, Wis. The body is being held at the mortuary chapel of Backa and Terry, and funeral arrangements are being deferred, awaiting word from the daughters in the east. It is probable that Mr. Daniel J. Williams will come on to the funeral, and the body may be taken cast for burial. The sympathy of the entire community is extended Mrs. Jones in her sudden bereavement. CALIF.

SANTA ANA INSERTS TEETH IN DRY LAW Special City Attorney Clyde Bishop of Santa Ana was under the direction of the city council today to prepare and present for its consideration on Monday night an ordinance in the nature of an enabling act for enforcement of the Volstead law. Instruction to the special counsel was given following a written request from City Marshal Sam Jernigan that the council take immediate action in the preparation and adoption of such an ordinance. An ordinance of this character was given first reading Feb. 7, last, and was referred back to the city attorney, the regular legal course in presentation and adoption of an ordinance.

HOLDING NEGRO FOR ATTACK UPON GIRLS LOS ANGELES, June 18.—Evidence tending to further establish the identity of Fred Lee, 17, colored, arrested by the University police early today as the youth who attacked Marle Imhof, 15, and Marguerite Rouleau, 15, as they were walking home from a motion picture show last night, was gathered today by the police.

Mrs. Rice was one of Madame Modjeska's most intimate friends. Plans for making the pilgrimage an overnight visit at Modjeska's have been abandoned by those who have had the arrangements in charge. At first the proposal was that Saturday evening and all day Sunday be spent at the place where Madame Modjeska and her husband, Count Bozenta, lived from 1888 to about 1906. This suggestion, however, was given up in favor of a dinner and an afternoon program. According to information received today from Miss Josephine Yoch, who has been active in making arrangements for the pilgrimage, no less than 50 well-known men and women of Los Angeles will be present Sunday. Most of these will be men and women who knew Madame Modjeska. Others will be from among those who are interested in the life of Madame Modjeska as an example of Americanization, and as an example of achievement by a foreigner coming to the free land of America. It is stated that residents of this county who desire to enter into the tribute that is to be paid to the memory of the great Modjeska, even they may not have known her personally, are invited to do so, perhaps joining in the afternoon gathering only.

It is located on the Santa Fe and new Salt Lake run along side the property.

The company has a fleet of trucks which give rapid delivery to all points within 25 miles of Anaheim. The plant has a daily capacity of 50 hogs, 50 sheep, 40 cattle, besides the sausage, lard, smoked meat, and fertilizer department products. The company owns and operates 11 retail meat markets in addition to wholesaling in all nearby towns. The retail markets use about one- half the present output of the plant. The company employs every week in the year 40 skilled workmen in the plant and nearly as many more in the markets. The annual payroll of $100,000 is practically all spent in Orange-co. The plant affords a market for all the cattle, hogs, sheep, calves and poultry that can be raised within the county and last year spent $500,000 for local livestock, shipping in the balance. The sales last year were over three-quarters of a million and this year will go far over a million, according to present indications. There is over $2,000,000 of meat consumed locally and if the plant maintains its present rate of growth it should have a business of $3,- 000,000 annually in ten years, as the county is growing so rapidly.

MAN LOS ANGELES, June 18.—Starting developments were expected in the investigation of Coroner Nance into the death in Los Angeles last Wednesday of Robert A. McLennan, 31, a railroad conductor, who was fatally wounded in a mysterious shotting fray at his home in Winslow, Ariz., April 30. Friends of McLennan claim he was shot when he attempted to guard a packet of letters which he considered important evidence in the suit for divorce filed by his 16-months bride. The letters, stained with McLennan's blood, were found in the room where he was shot. The circumstances of the shooting and McLennan's actions before and after it presented an unusually puzzling case for the authorities to solve. McLennan was in the Santa Fe hospital in Los Angeles April 25, waiting for an operation for adenoids. On the evening of the 25th he left the hospital without notifying anyone and boarded a train for Arizona. He left the train at Winslow, remained there all thru the 26th and then went to Holbrook and Bornlin the next day. That night he boarded the train for El Paso, where he stayed only an hour, and on the morning of the 28th he was back in Berlin again, going later to Gallup, N. M., and finally back to Winslow. This hurried, aimless traveling indicates that he was endeavoring to shake off real or imaginary pursuers officers stated.
