FARMER AND WIFE GRAB BURGLAR Henry Wagner Does Little Detective Work and Hauls Suspect to Jail Henry Wagner, rancher, who lives two miles south-east of Anaheim, did a little detective work yesterday as a result of which George Green, young negro, was lodged in the city jail late Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Wagner and two children left the ranch about 10:30 a.m. for church. Sometimes after they returned, they discovered their home had been entered and considerable loot taken. This included some currency and a gold watch. They found entrance had been gained by cutting a window screen. Under the window were footprints which showed a peculiar patch and certain type of rubber heel on each shoe. Recalling that they had passed a negro walking along the road when they had started to church, they all climbed into an auto and proceeded to scour the roads of No. Orange-co and as far south as about Orange. Floridly, walking along the road Home-Town' Not Proud Of 'Fatty' Arbuckle Santa Ana isn't overly proud of being the "home town" of "Fatty" Arbuckle, since his recent "Jam," it would seem today. Somebody discovered that Arbuckle's mother is buried in the old Santa Ana cemetery, that the grave is over grown with weeds and has never been taken care of. H. E. Yost announced that the Arbuckle film, "One Crazy to Marry," billed for October at the Yost theatre, had been cancelled. An older Arbuckle film, "The Bell Boy," is scheduled for the Westend theatre Friday and Saturday nights. Yost also controls this house and it was presumed that he would cancel that film, also, tho he could not be reached today to verify it. Arbuckle was raised in Santa Ana, being almost grown when he moved away. SIEMANN GLAD TO RETURN HOME AGAIN "It certainly seems mighty good to be back in Anaheim," declared Pres. Wm. J. Siemann of the First National bank today. He returned with Mrs. Siemann Saturday evening from the middlewest. Mrs. Siemann went to Minnesota in April and Mr. Siemann left Aug. 5 for Aberdeen, S.D., near which place they resided until they moved here about two years ago. They spent two weeks with a brother of Mr. Siemann's in Calhoun county, Iowa. Mr. Siemann believes conditions are easing up slightly and that they will steadily improve as the crops are marketed.

Finally, walking along the road toward Richfield they observed a nego. They drove past him before stopping, then asked him where he was going. Upon being informed he was headed for Los Angeles, Wagner offered to give him a ride. Wagner gave the steering wheel to his wife and directed all his attention toward the negro until they drove up to the Anaheim police station. The negro's clothing is alleged to have contained some of the foot from the Wagner home. Mrs. Wagner states the negro declared he knew who they were as soon as they pulled up and offered to give him a ride. The Wagners believe the negro had been watching them home until they left. MOVIE STAR FREED OF FELONY CHARGE Tom Mix, film star, was dismissed by Justice Cox this morning after a preliminary hearing on a felony charge preferred by Chas. Sayre, Placentia rancher, who asserted Mix declined to stop and render aid following an auto collision. Testimony was given to the effect that Mix stopped within 300 feet and that Sayre held a conversation with him.

Bergdoll, mother of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, millionaire Philadelphia slacker, be compelled to turn over to the government $105,000 in gold coin which she withdrew from the federal treasury in 1917, was instituted today in Philadelphia by Thomas W.

BELIEVE GARDNER ESCAPED IN BARREL LOS ANGELES; Sept. 12.—Speculation is rife in Los Angeles over the probability that Roy Gardner, bandit king of the West, has successfully made his way here fellowing his spec tacular escape from McNeill's Island. "Los Angeles is where he would go," say those who are personally acquainted with the daring robber. "He knows every hiding niche in this part of the country and he realizes that he would be much safer there than in the Northwest where a tremzied search is being made for him." There are many persons who believe that Gardner planned and engineered the bold coupe in which the Los Angeles street postoffice sub-station was riffled early Saturday morning. Added color is lent to this theory by the fact that one of the mail looters was heard to shout: "Let's go Roy." LEPER FLEES FROM COUNTY HOSPITAL A Mexican leper who has been at the Orange-co. hospital for two months, escaped today. Officials throughout the county are looking for him.

Calif. Elks' baseball championship. The largest crowd that ever witnessed a baseball game in Orange County packed the stands and was parked in cars several deep around the field. The final core was: Pasadena 10 runs, 13 hits, 5 errors. Anaheim 6 runs, 9 hits, 4 errors. After scoring the quartet in the first when the locals found Burris, Pasadena moundsman, easy meat, knickling him for five hits before Dunton could be sent in to relieve, there was no more scoring by either team until the Crown City athletes pushed across their first rally on two hits in the fourth. Anaheim German Mark's Value Is Lowest In History NEW YORK, Sept. 12. — The German mark today fell to the lowest price in its history. Its value on the foreign exchange market here was less than one cent — .0003 to be exact. Disquieting, unconfirmed rumors of a possibility of a mortatorium being declared in Germany was a reason for the decline. The pre-war value of the mark was about 24 cents. KRAEMER BUILDING CONTRACT SIGNED Samuel Kramer has signed a contract with Bever & Wilson, local contractors, for $154,000 for the erection of a two-story business block and apartment-bldg on Center-st., east of the city hall site.

Lugene Durfee, architect for the new building, was making arrangements today for the temporary location of the transfer company in the corner room of the Duckworth-bldg, on Claudina-st. south of Center-st. The dry cleaners will go into the room south of the transfer company. 1ST NAT' DEPOSITS NEAR 3 MILLIONS 12 MEXICAN SLAY S Beat Aged Proprietor of Store and Secure $800 A gang of 12 Mexican bandit general merchandise store of Issa at Delhi, where the two sugar miles south of Santa Ana, about Eight Mexicans went in the front door and four in the rear. The quartet seized Matouk and beat him over the head with revolvers. He is in the county hospital with serious injuries, and may die. The eight bandits shot John Khoury, 38, three times with fatal results. One bullet thru the neck severed the jugular vein. A second pierced the left arm and continued thru the body below the shoulder, coming out the right side. A third WOMAN IN COLLISION SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12. — Roscoe charged with murder today. Mrs. Rambina Maud Delmont, friend peared with District Attorney Madhhew B court shortly after 11 a.m. and swore parked in cars several deep around the field. The final core was: Pasadena 10 runs, 13 hits, 5 errors. Anaheim 6 runs, 9 hits, 4 errors. After scoring the quartet in the first when the locals found Burris, Pasadena moundsman, easy meat, knickling him for five hits before Dunton could be sent in to relieve, there was no more scoring by either team until the Clown City athletes pushed across their first rally on two hits in the fourth. Anaheim came back with another in the fifth and Pasadena with another in the sixth. Thus the score stood, 5 to 2 before the awful eighth. The first man up singled, the next walked and the third singled filling the sacks. Salveson was sent in. Before the side was retired, six runs had been scored on his hits, two walks, an error a sacrifice and some general loose playing. The locals made a valiant endeavor to overcome this sudden reversal of position in their half of the eighth, but could score only once. The visitors piled on two more in the ninth and the locals went scoreless. Anaheim defeated Pasadena twice running for the southland title last year and started off in oldtime form by coping the first of this year's series. There were some who said it was a case of over-confidence. Be that as it may, the locals were not hitting Dunton the way they did the previous Sunday at Pasadena when they kicked him for 16 safeties. Yesterday they got but four off him, well scattered thru the 8-1-3 innings he pitched. On the other hand, old reliable Harry Hughes didn't have the steam he displayed at Pasadena, the his control was, if anything, better. There were some who questioned the advisability of taking him from the game, tho he concurred in the suggestion. However, there's no use in playing the game over again here. The third and deciding game will be played on neutral grounds. Because of the difficulty in obtaining an enclosed field outside of Los Angeles, Manager Pete Hax went to the big city this afternoon in an endeavor to corral Vernon park for next Sunday afternoon. It is believed the crucial game would attract an enormous crowd to the Vernon field. Pasadena Elks—AB, R, H, SHPO, A, E.
