TOWN'IN REVIEW BY OLD TIMER It was just a case of misunderstanding. Over in Brea a man and woman were arrested with a large quantity of whiskey in their possession, and brot to trial in the Brea city recorder's office. A reporter called up about the matter. A young lady answered the telephone. "We heard there was a liquor case over there this morning; could you tell us about it?" questioned the reporter. Evidently there was something wrong with the line which confused the young lady's hearing; for there came back the innocent, counter-inquiry: "Did you send it over by mail?" City Manager O. E. Steward, on a postcard addressed to the "President of the Peanut Club, Anaheim City Hall," says he hasn't been enjoying his month's vacation at Lake Tahoe very much because of illness that has confined him to his bed much of the time. He adds that it has been snowing there. The slippery pole down which Anaheim's gallant firemen will slide is being installed. If installation is completed in time, the firemen will give their first nerve test at their regular practice test tonight, says Fire Chief Dick Fischle. The firemen have looked forward to having this pole more than to any other feature of the new city hall. "The only trouble," says Frank Tausch, secretary of the fire department, "is that you have to walk back up stairs, as it's too slick to swim up." It's out! I've found out why Harry Walker was making that patented dressing table and clothes closet with the full-length plate-glass windows.

BLAST TRANSFORMATION Governor Richards "DROPS IN" TO SEE STATE'S BEST CLUB His Coming Hadn't Been Announced, but He Had to Make a Speech The members of the Fullerton Kiwanis Club and their friends, 70 in number, were given a surprise today when, without announcement, Swift Justice Newhall A.M. NEWHALL, Calif., Justice moved swiftly a.m. today with Cher in pajamas and in hastily donned over was held and the case suspected liquor veiled disposed of.

"The only trouble," says Frank Tausch, secretary of the fire department, "is that you have to walk back up stairs, as it's too slick to swim up." IT'S out! I've found out why Harry Walker was making that patented dressing table and clothes closet with the full-length plate-glass windows. I began to smell a mouse when I noted Harry had taken out a building permit so I up and asked him this morning and he admitted it—that he's going to get married. Who's the leading lady, Harry? DOCTORS must get an awful kick out of life. An Anaheim physician was visited the other evening by a breathless man who exclaimed: "Oh, doctor, come quick; my wife's awful rick." "Whassa matter?" asked doc. "She has a misery in her stomach. May be she has appendicitis." "Has she been eating anything?" asked doc. "Well, yes; she had about a dozen peaches after supper, a few dishes of ice cream and, oh yes, some dill pickles." "Is that all!" said doc weakly. The same doctor says now numerous calls come from men who have been drinking the modern booze. The other evening he was called to a home where a man had been down at the beach for three days. The good wife gave it as her opinion that he had been drinking some of this "mule stuff." "Oh, yes," says doc. "Some jackass brandy—and it's an insult to the jackass!" And while the wife absented herself for a moment, doc prepared to give the stricken man a shot that would bring him out of it. But the man came to in the neck of time. Until he reads this he will never know how near he came to throwing up his heels. JUDGE G. B. Brown, city recorder, does not want to move to France. There are special reasons. For instance, Judge Brown is a bachelor and when he was born back in—(it wouldn't be fair to tell when),—the law did not require birth certificates, and now comes a letter to him saying that in France one can't get married without a birth certificate, showing when and where they were born. The letter comes from Cornellia A. Armous of Oakland who in behalf of her cousin, Madeline Rosine Berguerry, a native of Anaheim, desires to know how she may obtain a birth certificate. She is at Bas Pyrenees, and engaged to marry, but the laws of France will not permit anyone to DEST OLUD His Coming Hadn't Been Announced, but He Had to Make a Speech The members of the Fullerton Kiwanis Club and their friends, 70 in number, were given a surprise today when, without announcement, Friend W. Richardson, governor of California, "dropped in" as a visitor at their regular Tuesday noon meeting. Governor Richardson, who lives at Long Beach, took a sudden notion to pay the Fullerton Kiwanians an unannounced call to see how the club which stands highest in California and sixth in the world in attendance percentage, "puts it over." The Governor is a member of the Long Beach Kiwanis Club, and is much interested in civic organizations of all kinds which have the progress and upbuilding of the community as their watchword. He was accompanied by Frank Merriam, speaker of the last assembly. John E. King, San Jacinto postmaster, also was with the governor. The Governor was not on the program—; no, but he was not to get off so easily as that. The Kiwanians demanded an impromptu address, and there was nothing to do but to comply. Mr. Richardson spoke on no special subject, but told how interested he was in civic organizations, the great amount of good he thinks they are doing and related a number of humorous anecdotes. He was received with great applause. Mr. Merriam spoke on the new laws. Sam Ryan, sheriff of Riverside-co., also spoke briefly. The names of 16 Kiwanians were given as delegates to San Diego Sept. 10 as guests of the San Diego Kiwanis Club to view the total eclipse of the sun. WALLOP REPORTS UPON CONVENTION Much of today's weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis club was given to the report of William T.

The letter comes from Cornella A. Armous of Oakland who in behalf of her cousin, Madeline Rosine Berguery, a native of Anaheim, desires to know how she may obtain a birth certificate. She is at Bas Pyrcees, and engaged to marry, but the laws of France will not permit anyone to do so without first presenting the birth certificate.

He was rushed to the receiving hospital where it was said his injuries will not prove serious.

HIT OVER HEAD AND ROBRED BY RANDITS DISCOVERY OF VERY PROMISING SAND CAUSES Considerable Excitement at Town After reaching a depth of 4400 feet the Artesia Oil Co. today struck what is declared to be very promising oil sand on its 100 acre community lease a mile north of Artesia. The discovery caused considerable excitement in the town. The company will drill down 200 feet further, taking a core every 10 feet. It has stopped drilling for a day or two. The Cannon Drilling Co., which is said to have had the record for speedy drilling on Signal Hill with a well in 31 days, is on the job. Leases have been taken for miles near Artesia, reaching even into the town itself. The Calpetro Syndicate lost its casing in the severe gas pressure not long ago, after it had felt sure of a well. The Standard took leases some seven or eight months ago, and the Shell and General Petroleum also have leases. The Julian Corporation about 10 days ago obtained a lease of five acres in this vicinity. 2 WOMENS BODIES FOUND IN BOXES MEDFORD, Mass., Aug. 14.—Following the discovery of the dismembered bodies of two women in packing boxes in a vacant lot, police arrested Nunie Tsekos, 35, who they say has confessed to the double murder.

When he withdrew it there were stains, unmistakably blood stains. LOSES RACE Y. LITHEN TO ANAHEIM After a race with death from San Bernardino, Mrs. H. M. Burgess, mother of Miss Grace L.

KEMMERER, Wyo., Aug. 14.—With fire raging in the upper levels of the Pioneer Mine, one mile west of here, and water leaking from broken pumps rising slowly upward toward the fire line, 125 miners are said to be hopelessly trapped following an explosion this morning. Two U. S. mine rescue cars are attempting to penetrate a cave-in at the 1700-ft level. One of the crew, said to be the most efficient in the country, was called from Green river. There is little hope for the safety of the imprisoned men. Six bodies were taken from the shaft above the level where the men are trapped, it was reported here at 3 o'clock. Company managers stated officially that there were 125 miners in the shaft when the explosion took place. The terrific explosion of unknown cause shortly before noon shook the countryside for miles around. Great confusion prevailed around the mouth of the shaft, and fear was expressed that there would be little hope of saving any of the entrapped miners alive. The Pioneer Mine was an old working and there is little chance of getting ventilation into it. The explosion is said to have let go at a depth of 1700 feet and is thought to have been caused by a dust explosion. A cave-in near the entry to the 1700-foot level is hampering rescue efforts.
