He received a scalp wound, and will have an X-ray picture taken to determine whether or not the skull is fractured. Mrs. McGregory suffered a severely sprained back and, it is feared, internal injuries. She also will have an X-ray picture taken. They were taken to the residence of the Frakna family, relatives, on Lincoln-ave, where they were attended by Dr. J. W. Truxaw. According to reports to local police, the McGregory car ran into a car belonging to Joel Mendenhall of Newport Beach, which was stopped on the highway to fix a tire. Mr. Mendenhall, with Miss Grace Lane, of Newport, was returning from Los Angeles where they had attended the theatre. About midway between Buena Park and Lincoln-av, a tire blew out. He drew as far off the road as possible and was just getting out of the car when the McGregon Ford smashed into the Chalmers. The Ford struck a glancing blow, carroomed off and upset. Mendenhall says all his lights went off and his motor was still running, the crash came. R. D. Coleman and a Mr. Arnold of Brea drove up in time to observe the accident. Mendenhall says they are willing to bear him out in the assertion that the McGregon car had to drive across the boulevard to affect the collision. Mendenhall, Colman and Arnold righted the Ford immediately as Mi-Gragon lay underneath it with the motor still running and the exhaust pipe still running, making it very likely that the car would catch fire. The Ford, which had been rented in Los Angeles, was completely demolished, while the Chalmers suffered $75 damage, a tire being blown up and a wheel, fender and lamp emashed.

Westlake, a Southern Pacific guard, by one of a fusillade of shots fired from a hill. High feeling among the strikers was increased by the report that 250 non-union men are to be sent to Roseville to work in the shops. Violent disorders were predicted if this program is carried out. An unconfirmed report was in circulation that the California national guard had been advised to hold itself ready for mobilization on four hours' notice. Dynamiters at New Castle blew up the two large water tanks by planting dynamite under the pipes leading to the tanks. The tanks were only partly destroyed. No clews to the bombers were discovered, according to the sheriff's office at Auburn, which immediately began an investigation. Repairs are being rushed today, as otherwise traffic might have been seriously delayed by destruction of the water station. A hastily organized posse, headed by Sheriff Guim of Placer county, went in search of the dynamiters. Shortly after midnight a mob estimated to contain 2500 persons, including women and children, which had gathered along the railway property for more than a mile to taunt the guards, was dispersed by a heavy rain. The rain gave temporary relief to a menacing situation. During the night three shots were fired at the different servants and today the lady's pet ain't.

The motive for the double killing was revealed today at the inquest and arraignment, before Corner Charles D. Brown and Judge J. S. Howard. Some three months ago during an altercation Cisneros struck Escobedo over the head with a railway spike. The assailant was arraigned before Justice J. B. Cox in Santa Ana, charged with assault with a deadly weapon. The charge was modified to a misdemeanor, and Cisneros was sentenced to 60 days. He completed his term not long since. Twice he was seen in the neighborhood by the principal witness today at the inquest and arraignment, pretty little Laura Rodarte, evidently lying in wait for his first victim. She did not see Escobedo slain, but she did see the assault upon the Moreno woman, who rose to her feet, despite the awful punishment with the knife which she had received, picked up her purse and hunted for the scabbard of the knife, apparently as evidence. Cisneros was held without bail on motion of Deputy District Attorney D. G. Wittlin, after the arraignment.

Andrade, who accompanied the party which seized him, tried to take him. Cisneros made a movement as if to pull his rifle in Santa Ana canyon and defend himself. Sheriff C. E. Jackson said privately that Cisneros might easily have killed one of the officers if he had had a chance. Cisneros had no wish to question the Rodarte girl when she appeared on the stand. He has a wife and seven children. The Moreno woman has a husband in Los Angeles. The coroner's verdict was that Cisneros had slain the man and then the woman, using the knife on Escobedo and the knife and rifle on Camillo Moreno. The coroner's jury consisted of Anaheimers entirely: John O. Ree, foreman; Daniel Naugle, Otto Loewenstein, S. R. Walter, C. R. West and Gus Jacobson. The examination of the witnesses was conducted by Deputy District Attorney D. G. Wettlin. Charles C. Carrillo, official Spanish interpreter, E. G.

Ahlborn today showed a gain of more than 15 per cent in business the first six months of the year over the first half of 1921. The second quarter showed an advance of more than 15 per cent. The first half is always less active, but even at the present rate of gain, the $40,000 mark necessary to put Anaheim's office into the first class is certain. The figures for the half year were: 1922, $18,277.37; 1921, $15,847.61; gain -2,429.76; quarter ending June 30, 1922, $9,099.30; 1921, $7,814.70 gain, $1,284.60.

The total for last year was $346,98.98. Not considering that the city is constantly growing and other advantageous facts, the office is as certain as taxes to reach the $40,000 mark this calendar year.

E. French, Deputy Sheriff Herman Zabel and Officer Hugh Clark of Anaheim the dirt road on the other side of the Santa Ana. If they hadn't surprised Cisneros, the latter would have killed somebody a sure as can be, said Sheriff C. E. Jackson today. Cisneros was desperate and knew he had nothing to lose by another alaying. The other witnesses heard at the arraignment after the Rodarte girl were Dr. J. W. Trunaw and Officer Andrade, who practically repeated what they had said at the inquest. Motion that the defendant be held without bail was made by the Deputy District Attorney at the conclusion of the testimony. Wltman, Eyesight specialist.
