Heaton and fleeing after the shooting, which was the most sensational crime of its kind in the history of Tennessee.

C. of C. and at the Santa Ana Chamber. Nominations are now in order and they are to be made by popular vote. No, the supervisors did not make the nominations. They were too wise to assume such a responsibility. They might decide on prize winners at baby shows, or even might take risks in other venturesome matters, but when it came to saying who is the most beautiful girl and best fitted to be queen, discretion was acknowledged as much the better part of valor. Moreover, even if a supervisor had the courage to express his choice, he would be unable to decide among the many obviously fitted to wear the Monroe Centennial Crown. According to a schedule some one had arranged without full official sanction the supervisors were to announce the nominations on Tuesday. Newspaper notices to that effect caused so many telephone conferences and so many suggestions of the danger of possible personal and political preferences that, after a meeting, the supervisors announced that nominations would be made by popular vote. It was at first the plan to have three candidates, one from the east, one from the west and one from the center of the county, but now there will be a candidate from each supervisor's district. The Orange County queen will reign on the day especially assigned to the county at the Revue and Exposition. She will be a member of the distinguished party that will welcome the crowds at the Premiere and will have a conspicuous part in all its ceremonies of the opening day. Her will be accorded all honors. One will reign in royal state for one day and during the entire exposition will have a place of distinction. Holderd of patron certificates and they along will be entitled to vote for the election of queens. Orange county has taken enthusiastic interest in the Monroe Doctrine Centennial and is sure of sending as its representative one of the loveliest California girls.

All the employees of the Scott Fruit Company, which is located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, being either married or confirmed bachelors, had no immediate use for the circlet of gold so they informed Glen H. Florance, the representative of the M. O. D. in Winnipeg, of the stirke. An investigation proved that Mrs. Mabel Young, an attractive resident of the La Habra district, employed by the Index Orchards Co., had lost the ring. And so Dan Cupid's plans were not thwarted, and the ring is safely on its way to the finger that formerly bore it. Thus worketh out the ways of fate. The Index Orchards Co., has announced that no further gold premiums will be placed in future shipments. CHARGE FULLERTON HOLDUPS BUS LOCAL SHOW WILL EQUAL GATE CITY'S Third Cal.

Valencia Expo as Large as 13th National Event With the hanging of headquarters banners on Los Angeles-st and a large sign across Lemon-st pointing toward this year's site, the Third Annual California Valencia Orange Show plans to shape yesterday. Over 50 applications for industrial space have been received, without solicitation whatever, and Chairman Herman Stern reports that several new feature displays have been promised, with little effort upon the part of the committee on citrus exhibits, Tomorow, Messrs. Stern and Fraser will visit San Bernardino to arrange for the rental of the huge canvases necessary to house the 1923 show. Artists are already planning designs for the orange exhibit department, but no contracts have been let. This year promises to be a good one for show enthusiasm. The recently closed National Show at San Bernardino reports a big attendance, with a comfortable surplus to carry over to 1924. This was their thirteenth venture, Anaheim, in its third effort, will be as large as the great San Bernardino offering, which bids fair to go down into exposition history as the best they have ever put on. Nearly every industrial exhibitor of 1923 will again be represented at Anaheim this year, according to reports.

BENEFICIAL CITRUS PARASITE ON RUN; GONE NEXT SEASON Aphycus, which last season saved citrus fruit growers in Orange-co., several times the $600,000 usually spent annually in fumigating, according to A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, will be of very secondary benefit by next year. The reason is that the quayleae and eusemions, natural foes of the aphycus will have conquered the parasite. At the present time citrus groves are cleaner of black scale than ever before, says Brock, some groves having no trace whatever of it. But this condition will not prevail many months longer. Much of this information Brock gave yesterday to members of the Lemon Men's Club in Los Angeles in an address on "Is the Black Scale Being Controlled by Parasites?" Brock declared that Orange-co had been more successful last year with the aphycus than any other county producing oranges. Hundreds or thousands of acres were saved by the parasite. Dr. I. G. McBeth, manager of the Bastanchury ranch, presided and R. S. Woglum, entomologist of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange was one of the other speakers.

Sheffield told a friend, who is a clerk in Brea, that 10 different persons had been robbed by the same fellows, including a truck driver and a woman, whose name could not be learned. This, however, is denied by J. C. Looney, Brea city marshal. Looney declared, however, that he and his deputy J. F Burgeman, who were on the trail of the Mexicans from six o'clock this morning, found three purses, a bank book and a notebook. The bank book belonged to Sheffield, and two of the purses it is believed also were theirs, but the third is unaccounted for. Looney says the Mexicans are professionals, and thinks they are the same pair who robbed Rohr E. Reed, manager of the Fullerton office of the Crown Stage, in Santa Ana early yesterday morning, taking $127. According to descriptions furnished to Sheriff Sam Jernigan one of the holdup men wore blue overhalls and a jumper and stood about five feet seven inches tall.

Allen is said to have been by far the heavier loser of the two oilmen. The bank book was Sheffield's and on the First National Bank of Brea. The empty purses and bank books were found near the river bed about a mile and one-half from Brea. Both of the victims are about 21 years old. $100,000 ESTATE LEFT BY NEGRESS CAMDEN, N.

Nelson's move to limit truckloading still more in an effort to save the county highway system, City Engineer O. E. Steward said today the present overloading of heavy vehicles was costing taxpayers three or four times the saving in transportation costs. "The present highways would last a hundred years under ordinary automobile traffic," said Steward, "but to build a highway that will stand the heavy trucks for more than a few months is practically prohibitive." ROBBERS BUSY IN SANTA ANA; ENTER SUNSET DYE WORKS The Sunset Dye Works of 904 W.
