CHORUS: O Anaheim is my home, is my home. The local land, the vocal land of singing birds and bees. Where porcelain and orange flings The fragrance of a thousand springs, And apples of Hesperides. As sweetly lovely as a bride, Her hearts and homes are open wide With puising life and friendly cheer; Here men are true, and women kind; In boundless volume, unconfined. God's salt of earth is measured here. Chorus: By Mary Merrick Smale, 1923. (Tune: Illinois) With thy gentle breezes blowing, Anaheim, Anaheim! And thy golden oranges glowing, Anaheim, Anaheim!

An exhibit of human bones taken from the bodies of Daniels and Richards was held in reserve to support their testimony.

The girl defended Barnett altho she said she never wants to see him again because he ran away and left her when she tumbled into the cactus. Her body was covered with cactus needles which physicians spent hours extracting. "He didn't attack me or attempt to," she said. "He didn't tear my clothes." He made no improper advances to me. I can't understand why he left me. I never want to see him again." Miss Smart insisted that she had removed her clothing herself, to relieve the pain caused by the cactus needles and to use in making a path out of the patch. She admitted having taken two drinks of liquor from a bottle offered her by Barnett and that he had had several drinks. She was more concerned over her mother and the fact that she might be sent home than she was over her injuries and the fact that a warrant had been issued for Barnett. She said she had been living with Peggy Coombs, a friend, at 1924½ North Western ave., for several months. Her mother resides at 5393 Pasadena-ave, Los Angeles. "I don't want to go home," she complained, weeping. "I don't want mother to know about this. Besides, it's nothing. I fell over the cliff. It was my fault.

The girl's condition was not serious and it was expected that she would be released from the hospital before tonight.

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR TEAL $5300 MAN WITH FAKE WHISKERS TRIES TO CASH WARRANT Appearances are everything. So thinks a youngish fellow who fell under suspicion before he could cash a warrant for $5300 on the county treasurer this morning. Mrs. M. N. Joplin, experienced clerk in the office, knows a real moustache from a false one, and when she perceived what looked like glue, she hesitated. Hesitation, fear—on the part of the visitor—fear, departure. He said he was going to the auditor's office, presumably to be identified, but hurried out of the county court house.
