EXECUTE FAMOUS ENGLISH SLAYER
LONDON, Sept. 3.—With the execution of Patrick Mahon in Wandaworth jail this morning the cuffain has been rung down upon one of the most cruel and repulsive murderers in the history of England.
Mahon was hanged for the murder of Miss Emily Beilby Kaye with whom he had been living.
Mahon made a confession describing how he killed and dismembered the woman. Here is his description:
"I first cut off her legs. This I found such a hard task that it took me all evening and several hours of the next day. After a sleep and rest, I disemboweled the body. I cut out the heart and other organs and tried to dispose of them by boiling them in a biscuit thm. I sawed all the bones into small pieces and attempted to burn them in a grate. This and other matters took me the whole of the second day. The parts of the body I could not get rid of I locked up in a trunk. Then I left the bungalow and went to London."
There has been no murder since the Harvey Crippen case which roused so much interest throughout the country.
From the fact that the murder was committed in a bungalow on a lonely stretch of shore known as the "Crumbles" near Eastbourne, the crime was known as the "bungalow murder."
The victim was about 30 years of age, and according to evidence at the trial, was infatuated with Mahon. Miss Kaye had an inheritance of $40,000 and they rented the bungalow, planning to spend the rest of their lives there.
This money was soon spent and Mahon tired of his companion. His coldness led to numerous quarrels and it was during one of these that the woman was killed.

The space between Central ave and Erma-st on Halttat will be reserved for the dancing. A stage is to be erected where a program of varied numbers will be during the afternoon and evening.

Games booths will be another attraction. Mrs. J. I. Williams is in charge of the fair and the executive committee includes Mrs. J. C. Lumsden, Mrs. W. L. York, Mrs. W. A. Bloomer, Mrs. R. H. Hilbert.

FARM BUREAU HAS SPECIAL MEETINGS
Announcement has just been issued by the farm advisor's office to the effect that an important series of field meetings has been scheduled for six communities in Orange-co to discuss the important question at this time of the year of supplying plenty of moisture to citrus to meet the emergencies of fall winds that generally frequent this section in September, October and November.
The farm advisor points out that it is highly important to insure sufficient moisture in the grove at this time in order to prepare the trees for the exceptionally dry periods which may follow later. If proper moisture conditions have been maintained during the early part of the season, a good root system has been encouraged and will react beneficially to maintain the vigor and thrift of the trees during unfavorable periods.
A thorough discussion of this subject will be taken up in the field meetings which have been scheduled as follows:
Thursday, Sept. 11, 10 a.m.—El Modena.
Thursday, Sept. 11, 2 p.m.—Tustin.
Friday, Sept. 12, 10 a.m.—Anabelm.
Friday, Sept. 12, 2 p.m.—Garden Grove.
Saturday, Sept. 12, 10 a.m.—Fullerton.
Saturday, Sept. 13, 2 p.m.—Yorba Linda.
The exact location of these demonstrations will be announced later. The public is invited to attend.

for a daily excursion leaving Long Beach at 8 o'clock a.m., arriving at Dana Point shortly after 9 o'clock, returning from Dana Point at 4 p.m., arriving at Long Beach at 5. Between the hours of arrival at and departure from Dana Point the vessel will take out parties from that place for near-by deep sea fishing, returning in time for the return trip to Long Beach.
