XXV—NO. 174 NAB BUY ANAHEIM BOY SOUGHT BY OFFICERS Sam Frazee, 17 disappeared Sunday afternoon, parents report to police. The Anaheim police have another lost or runaway boy to find today. Sam Frazee, 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Frazee, of 415 South Helena-st., disappeared Sunday afternoon, and his parents are nearly frantic over him. He is supposed to have been coaxed away by "Bill" Scully, a wild boy who came here about a year ago. The father, who is a carpenter, is recovering from a severe blow on the head, suffered about two weeks ago. Sugar Company Ships 8 Carloads of Cattle Eight carloads of cattle are scheduled to be shipped today by the Anaheim Sugar Co. over the Southern Pacific to Wilson & Co., of Los Angeles.

SELL $225,000 REALTY IN 2 MONTHS The Anaheim police have another lost or runaway boy to find today. Sam Frazce, 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Frazce, of 415 South Helena-st., disappeared Sunday afternoon, and his parents are nearly frantic over him. He is supposed to have been coaxed away by "Bill" Scully, a wild boy who came here about a year ago. The father, who is a carpenter, is recovering from a severe blow on the head, suffered about two weeks ago, when he was struck by a piece of timber while at work on the new Zion's Lutheran church, which Contractor A. Pibel is erecting. The boy is 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighs 135 pounds, has dark hair and hazel eyes, and when last seen wore a mackinaw coat, trousers of a dark brown mixture, white striped shirt with soft collar and tie and a brown cap. He had last worked for the Orange County Plumbing Company. Scully, since he came here, has been working at odd jobs, principally in the plumbing trade off and on. "Bill" is described as practically a tramp with various bad habits. For a time he worked for Frank Goodrich, a plumber, at 416 West Broadway, who took pity on him. Frazce was an unusually quiet boy, but lately had been fidgety and nervous at home, according to his father. "Bill" is said to have coaxed away a boy before, the windup being an arrest of the two in San Diego. Frazce came home Sunday, had his lunch, and then went out, saying he was going to a ball game. He has not been seen since, so far as known. The boy's uneasiness is believed due partly to both his father and himself being out of work. The boy for a while worked for Ambrust, the member, but later had been idle. He was accustomed to being active, and before he left school was quite an athlete, playing both football and baseball. NAZARENE CHURCH WILL BE ORGANIZED The three weeks revival at the Grand theatre closed last evening. It was regarded as a very successful campaign despite considerable inclement weather. There were about 150 conversions. There will be a meeting of converts Thursday evening at the home of John Meuschafer at 602 So. Los Angeles street, to organize a Nazarene church society. The congregation will continue to use the Grand theatre for the present as a meeting place. SELL $225,000 REALTY IN 2 MONTHS One of the largest, if not the largest, real estate transactions of the last year or more was consummated by the Sidnam Realty Co. this week when a close-in new business block and a flat building in Long Beach, totalling $110,000.00, were transferred to A. G. Blom of Orange. An exchange for the Blom citrus ranch north of El Modena was effected on one of the properties and the other was purchased outright by Mr. Blom. The Sidnam Realty Co. acted for Mr. Blom and handled a part of the other side of the deal, handling a total of $175,000.00. Since opening their new offices in December this firm has sold and exchanged close to a quarter of a million dollars worth or properties, a remarkable showing considering prevailing conditions. G. G. CITRUS ADOPTS TRADE ACCEPTANCE It was announced at the annual meeting of the Garden Grove Citrus Ass'n; Saturday that a new plan involving trade acceptances would be put into effect this season. The First National Bank of Garden Grove, it was said, has agreed to furnish the cash for the paper, but the individual grower will have to pay the interest. The association declined to do so, arguing that the innovation was adopted as a convenience whatever members chose to take advantage of it. The association also will inaugurate a revolving fund, formed by an assessment of 10 cents per box on all fruit, with re-payments from year to year as is the case with other associations. The directors, on complaint of various growers that their fruit was not graded properly, decided to have lots of fruit inspected and graded as soon as it arrives from a given grove.

TAKEN TO MURDER SCENE LOS ANGELES, Feb. 28.—The law today led Mrs Madalynne Obenchain, fair Chicago divorcee, from the county jail along the lonely road through Beverly Glenn to the "love cabin" where, on the night of August 5 last, J. Belton Kennedy, young broker was shot to death REPORTS on last week's Rotary meetings in San Bernardino and Long Beach, appointment of a delegate and two other representatives to the convention in San Francisco March 18-18, and a speech by C. E. Moore on the significance of physical traits as indices of character, were the features of today's dinner of Rotarians at the Elks Club. George Prince was chairman of the day. The San Francisco meeting is the seventh annual conference of the Rotary Clubs of the 23rd district, comprising California, Nevada, Arizona and Hawaii. Carl Leonard was named as the official delegate. William A. Dolan and Barney Hartfield also will attend. S. C. Hartfranft reported on the 17th anniversary meeting at the Hotel Virginia, Long Beach, and Harry D. Riley on this and the San Bernardino gathering. Hartfranft said the former meeting was attended by many Rotarians from Anaheim. He called particular attention to a funny speech by a Salt Lake man, who had to use crutches to stand up, and by President von Klein Smid of the University of Southern California. Riley said he and others, who went to the National Orange Show after attending the Rotary meeting, found the show the most beautiful one so far held. Riley said he regretted that more Anahemers did not attend the Long Beach meeting. C. E. Moore's speech was on the subject, "Masculines, Feminines and Fat Folks." Both men and women are divided, he said, into three general types named as above, according to physical sizes, strength, color of hair and eyes, etc. Moore asserted that three generations spent in the vicinity of the equator suffered to change blonde hair to dark, while such a change never would take place so long as blonde people lived in the northern latitudes. While the masculines did the hard, physical work of the world, were the pioneers the employers, and feminines were the class which were occupied with the finer and less laborious things, the fat folks occupied the responsible positions and made use of the other two classes to do the work of the world. The fat folks acted as a curb to the recklessness of the masculine and protected the weaker feminine type he said. They were never in a hurry, they were the practical men and women. They were characterized by acquisitiveness, constructiveness and secretiveness. The sense of valuance and of justice was strong in them. Chairmen for March are announced as follows: March 6, William A. Dolan, 13th, Oris Mullinix; 20th, Barney Hartfield; 27th, John Truxaw TAKEN TO MURDER SCENE LOS ANGELES, Feb. 28.—The law today led Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain, fair Chicago divorcee, from the county jail along the lonely road through Beverly Glen to the “love cabin” where, on the night of August 5 last, J. Belton Kennedy, young broker, was shot to death as he stepped from her side. Altho she had been declaring she hoped to get out into the sunshine from her cell, Mrs. Obenchain her back and bowed her head today she was led to a waiting automobile in front of the hall of justice for the trip. “I have done nothing to deserve this,” Mrs. Obenchain almost sobbed as she walked to the machine. The trial of the attractive woman on the murder charge that she plotted with Arthur C. Burch, awaiting his second trial, to stay Kenned in a love feud was halted in that jurors might be escorted to the scene of the crime. One witness, H. C. Kirckman, an investigator for the county, was called to the stand when court convened for brief testimony while all rangers were being completed for the journey to the scene of death. Kirckman identified a bullet marked sapling that was offered evidence. He said it was one four saplings that stood in the path of the bullets fired at Kennedy in he was walking up a flight of stairs to the entrance of the cabin. The sapling was offered in evidence that the prosecution might point out to the jury at the scene of the murder where the bullet marked trees had been growing.

Officers for the ensuing year were elected: Mrs. Margaret Gutherie-Scott of Orange Union high school president; Mrs. Bailey of Placentia, vice-president; and Miss Ellis of the Santa Ana Public Library, Secretary.

BUILDING PERMITS A. Leasa, frame residence at 109 W. South st., cost $2500. District Attorney Woolwine, it was reported, has decided that it is essential to the investigation, as matter of precaution, that the woman add to the lengthy statement she made when she was first questioned by clearing up points developed since that time. While the probability that the woman might be questioned by Woolwine today loomed as the outstanding feature of the investigation in Los Angeles, the wife of Harry Field who "confessed" he aided in the murder drove the last nail in the coffin in which her husband's sensational story has been buried as wholly with out truth.
