The cover THE ORANGE COUNTY INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Monday, May 15, 1922 GIRL COULD HAVE BEEN RESCUED Brother-in-Law Informed She Had Already Been Pulled From Water The drowning at Los Alamitos bay of Helen Wight, 15-year-old freshman in the Garden Grove high school, might have been avoided if her brother-in-law, C. B. Crosby, hadn't been told by members of a crowd which had gathered that the girl already had been rescued. "Clarence, help, help, help," was the cry which reached Crosby's ears, and he was preparing to rescue her, after bringing Mrs. S. S. Jackson to shore, when told that she already had been saved. The girl was one of many of 10 striking grimings. FAIRYLAND FIRE LOSS $1500 Panic Averted by Coolness of Operator, Sam Christiansen; Insurance Covers Loss The coolness of Sam Christiansen, moving picture operator at the Fairyland Theatre, combined with the prevention facilities of the building averted what might have been a serious blaze Saturday night. The damage—mostly by water—to house and film combined was approximately $1500, insurance covering the loss to the building. The local fire department did efficient work in quelling the flames. There was no panic. Christiansen had just started on the feature film of the evening's first performance. Mae McAvoy, in 11 Yards of Goods In “Big Bill’s” Shirt OKLAHOMA CITY, May 15.

CHAUTAUQUA WILL OPEN TONIGHT The drowning at Los Alamitos bay of Helen Wight, 15-year-old freshman in the Garden Grove high school, might have been avoided if her brother-in-law, C. B. Crosby, hadn't been told by members of a crowd which had gathered that the girl already had been rescued. "Clarence, help, help," was the cry which reached Crosby's ears, and he was preparing to rescue her, after bringing Mrs. S. S. Jackson to shore, when told that she already had been saved. The girl was one of a party of 10 seaking grunion. The tragedy is one of the saddest in a long while at beaches of Orange or Los Angeles county. The girl's mother was ill, and could not be told of the death until yesterday. It is understood the body, following the inquest tomorrow at the Mottetland undertakers parlor in Long Beach, will be taken to Smith & Tuthill's Santa Ana, from the chapel of which the funeral services will be held. The body, sought all night by the rest of the party, who like the girl, were forced to leap into the ocean from the trestle over Alamitos bay when a Pacific Electric car approached, was washed up at the foot of Twentieth Place, Long Beach, yesterday. A swift undercurrent had carried the girl's body out of the bay to the ocean during the night. Five others of the party were taken to the Seaside hospital but except for shock are little; the worse for their adventure. Those in the party were Miss Wight, Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Pringle and their daughter Eunice; Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Crosby; Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Woodhouse and Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Jackson. All are of Garden Grove and Crosby were not on the trestle at the time. Crosby is a dictor of the Citizens' Bank of Garden Grove and Jackson is a well known realtor. Most of the eight who leaped from the trestle landed in water only five feet deep, but Miss Wight struck at a point where the water was perhaps two or three times that depth. The tragedy took place Saturday night. Miss Wight is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wight of Fifth street and Acacia avenue, Garden Grove. Wight is a retired business man. Eight of the party were part way across the bridge when the flash and screech of the interurban train warned them or danger. All but Mrs. Crosby jumped from the trestle to the ocean below, a distance of about 25 feet. Mrs. Crosby hung by a stringer to the bridge. A. R. Moyer, of Long Beach, the motorman, said the moonlight cars shadows which prevented him from seeing the party until the car was almost upon them. J. F. Connors of Long Beach, was the conductor. DISABLED VETERANS MEET AT SAN DIEGO Disabled veterans of the World War to the number of several hundred. The coolness of Sam Christiansen, moving picture operator at the Fairyland Theatre, combined with the prevention facilities of the building averted what might have been a serious blaze Saturday night. The damage—mostly by water—to house and film combined was approximately $1500, insurance covering the loss to the building. The local fire department did efficient work in quelling the flames. There was no panic. Christiansen had just started on the feature film of the evening's first performance, Mae McAvoy, in "A Virginia Courtship," when the film caught fire. He promptly told the audience that the film had burned out and asked them to keep their seats. A few minutes later he announced there would be no further show that night, whereupon the spectators, about 600 in number, quietly withdrew. Meanwhile Mrs. Maude Recser, the cashier, had called the fire department under the direction of Fire Chief Dean Hason. Before the fire fighters arrived Christiansen had done good work with the chemicals, but had not succeeded in putting the blaze out. But the fire had little opportunity of getting outside the projection room, which is provided with metal doors that automatically close in case of fire. Some smoke came through the ventilator and mounted to the ceiling, but was little evident in the theatre itself. The principal loss was of the one film and projection machine. Peopled outside the building, in endeavor to aid, seriously interfered with the work. Dean Hasson voiced his appreciation of their motive, but regretted the way help was offered. The fire was the first West Coast Theaters, Inc., have had here, and appeared of so little consequence that there was no excitement whatever ever in the house, the audience withdrawing at the regular exits calmly and rapidly. The Paths Sews and other films on the program were rescued. FURTHER DELAY IN OPENING BREA-RD There is not a chance in the world of the Anaheim-Spadra road, main highway between here and the San Gabriel valley, being completed by May 23, the opening date of the Orange Show, nor even by June 1, the date promised by Supervisor Prescott F. Cogswell, of Los Angeles county, Manager W. H. Schurman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, said today. As a result, the attendance at the show from Pomona and lesser communities may be seriously interfered with. Temporarily the detours made after last Tuesday's rain are in much better shape than they have been, following use of a gracer, but they are being rapidly spoiled again with the hauling of construction maize.

CLOSE FRIENDS GREET PUGILIST PARIS, May 15—Georges Carpenter was virtually unnoticed when he returned from London, where he knocked out Ted Lewis in the first round last week. There were only a few close friends to greet him at the station. Temporarily the detours made after Tuesday's rain, are in much better shape than they have been, following the use of a gracer, but they are being rapidly spoiled again with the hauling of construction materials over them. says Schureman. The only hope now is to have them graded again just before the show opens and once or twice during the show. Another mile of the road will be finished before the show, but it is in many different detached pieces. The contract for the improvements was let July 18, last year, and the work was to be done within four months. Finally, after the Associated Chambers of Commerce of the San Gabriel Valley had pushed the matter repeatedly, work proceeded a little faster. The associated chambers discussed the delay again at its meeting a few days ago, but no action yet has resulted. Plain Dealer Want Ads Bring Results.

Steward, barricading himself in the express car of the train, shot and killed one bandit and wounded another as the highwaymen were attacking the car with dynamite. The slain bandit, the official report indicated, was an expert "craksman", skilled in the use of explosives. He was crawling toward the express car with his "charge" or dynamite when killed.
