At present citrus growers were in danger of having their lands go back to barley growing and the like through exhaustion of underground water supply.

Criley, wealthy landscape painter, as the outcome of a feud starting with the production of a community play six months ago. On a high cliff overlooking the sea, in the early morning a few days ago, according to the reports current here. Wilson a man of 55 and weighing about 185 pounds, met Criley, aged about 45 and weighing about 155, in primitive conflict. Seconds attended the men it is said, and stripped to the waist, they battled until Crilley had scored four knockdowns. The feud between the two men was well-known here in the local colony. Last fall the Open Air theater, a community affair, presented "Pomander Walk," a romantic play. Mrs. Wilson was chosen for the role of heroine of the play and Crilley played opposite her as hero. Wilson is said to have become jealous and this later fanned itself into bitter enmity. Despite the bitter physical encounter, the feud is not settled. According to reports, Wilson's last words to Crilley after the battle were "You win this time but I've just begun." CHIRO IS WITHOUT LICENSE IS CHARGE Dr. A. D.

Henry Wagner has $110,000 worth of fruit on the trees, it was estimated today by careful observers. The Wagners have not sold their fruit. A group of Anaheim men have a problem. While they welcomed a new oil well on their six-acre ranch at Richfield this week, the blooming thing blew oil all over six acres of valencias and with oranges worth two cents each on the tree, that's no laughing matter. The men are H. P. Tobin, E. H. Heyning, C. L. Head, J. W. Lockwood and A. V. Vail. There are now producing wells on the lease and a fourth hole is down 1200 feet. The development work is being done by the Petroleum Midway. The lease is known as Richfield Consolidated and the well brot in this week was No. 1. It is flowing 130 barrels a day thru the plunger which was left in the hole. With three wells on six acres, the owners wouldn't ordinarily have anything to worry about, but they happen to be in a 65-acre pool. Despite the fact space is taken out for four wells, the five men expect to get $3000 from the oranges on the place. The fruit has been sold at six cents.

Porter of Newport Beach made the arrest last night and brought the accused to Santa Ana this morning.

The Reeds acquired the property about fourteen years ago and it has been their home up to the present time. At the time they purchased the ranch, nearly all of it was bearing walnuts, there being a few young Valencia oranges planted. From time to time the walnuts have been taken out and Valencias planted in their place, and now the 20 acres is practically all in bearing oranges, with a crop of fruit undamaged by frost or wind, estimated at 3000 packed boxes. There is a beautiful, modern home on the ranch and a pumping plant. The Berger company also represented both principals in a deal whereby J. O. Reed has acquired from Chet Johnson a large lot at the corner of West and Chestnut streets. The new owners have engaged M.

FLIRTING TO PROVE BURCH'S INSANITY LOS ANGELES, March 30. — To give fresh color to the picture of Arthur Burch, on trial for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, as a "nut," witnesses may be called to the stand, when the defense presents its case, to tell of Burch's flirtations with "flappers" in the courtroom, it became known today. Burch's courtroom flirtations, it is claimed, were new indications of his alleged insanity by reason of the fact that no sane person with his life at stake in a murder trial would pay attention to anything but the evidence and his situation. The witnesses who may be called by the defense when the phase of the case dealing with Burch's alleged mental unsoundness is reached are Clark Reeder, the court bailiff, who reprimanded two girls who flirted with Burch, and others who noticed Burch and the "flappers" engaged in "making eyes" in the courtroom.

CAPTURES MANIAC; SAVES OWN AUTO LOS ANGELES, March 30.—Fortune favored Forest Ranger Thom as Marshall of the Devil canyon district today when he responded to a request for aid from a man who said his automobile was wrecked at the foot of the canyon grade, for Marshall not only prevented the theft of his own car, but effected the capture of a maniae who called himself Beelzebc u and who had escaped from Patton asylum, according to his report to Forest Supervisor R.

T. Carlson. Both cars were damaged. No one was injured. Burch's courtroom flirtations, it is claimed, were new indications of his alleged insanity by reason of the fact that no sane person with his life at stake in a murder trial would pay attention to anything but the evidence and his situation. The witnesses may be called by the defense when the phase of the case dealing with Burch's alleged mental unsoundness is reached are Clark Reeher, the court bailiff, who reprimanded two girls who flirted with Burch, and others who noticed Burch and the "flappers" engaged in "making eyes" in the courtroom.

Bouche, the former an employee of the Daley store in Orange, had a very narrow escape from a frightful death yesterday when the machine they were driving failed to respond to application of brakes, and only for the presence of mind of Mr. Bouche would have gone over the grade.

Frank Blazek, brother of the twins, who refused to permit an operation in the effort to save the life of Rosa when it became certain that Josefa would die, refused today to permit science to separate the two torsos so strangely joined above the hips. The two women who were 43 years of age, will go to their double grave without a so-called overtime leave from their jobs.

The car turned over, with the wheels uppermost, pinning the two occupants underneath. Mr. Bouche finally extricated himself, and calling assistance, succeeded in getting Mrs. Bouche out. Both were considerably injured and taken to the hospital where they are now reported out of danger, but suffering greatly from their cuts and bruises. ABANDON HOPE OF GARDEN GROVE WELL All hope for Garden Grove getting on the petroleum map of Southern California has been abandoned. The Standard's Chaffee well is now at 5515 and is not looking any more like an oil well than it did when the rig builders started laying the foundation for the rig. No production has ever been found in the southern field below the 5500 mark and there is little hope of Garden Grove proving the exception. At Buena Park the Standard is making splendid progress drilling on the Mitchell well. The Mitchell well is not deep enough to warrant any comment or deductions as yet. CIVIL SERVICE EXAM The U.
