He said in asking me to marry him he realized he was older than I but that he was asking for my companionship and youth." The defense sprang a surprise in the case late yesterday by introducing letters tending to show that Mrs. Weston was on intimate terms with E. H. Philbrook at Los Angeles musician, at the time she claims to have been engaged to Dr. Jackson. CLAIMS DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS WRONG Alleging that Arthur H.

Holmes, 38, whose death occurred Saturday night after but a few days illness. There was a large attendance, many going from Anaheim, where Mr. Holmes and his family lived about four years ago.

PLACENTIA With the splendid increase of $1469.81 in the postoffice receipts this past year, the office is now in the third class and the new year will undoubtedly see the office advance to the second class, which means that its receipts will go over the $8,000 mark. The total receipts for the year were $7083.36 of which $1142.33 was for the month of December. The stamp sales for the seven days prior to Christmas were enormous, amounting to $478.68, while the packages insured, numbering 504 were valued at more than $5000.

Mellon, secretary of the treasury, and David H. Blair, internal revenue commissioner, to compel them to amend the income tax regulations so as to include California among the states having community property laws and permitting husbands and wives to make separate returns on half of the total income, was today dismissed by Justice Stafford of the district supreme court.

An appeal was noted by the petitioners. SUDDENLY STRICKEN C. B. Hungerford, Fullerton agent of the U. P., was stricken suddenly white in the offices of the Balloon Motor Corp. in Fullerton yesterday afternoon, and taken to the Fullerton hospital in a McAulay & Suitters ambulance. He had not regained consciousness today. Physicians refused to say definitely what the trouble was; but inferred that it might be a blood clot. H. C. North is taking his place at the U.P. office. The new rural route will be of considerable aid in putting the office into the second class. During the weeks before the holidays the mail man was kept busy in his stops at the boxes in supplying stamps and insuring packages. He carries stamps at all times for the convenience of his customers. His route is 26 miles long and carries 300 families. The service is an improvement over the former routes in that the patrons get the Los Angeles morning mail and the 9:03 eastern mail the day it enters the post office instead of its laying over a day. The mail man also picks up the Fullerton mail at present so that there will be no delays in Fullerton while patrons are notifying correspondents of their change of address.

STEAMER ON ROCKS BOSTON, Jan. 21.—The steamer Yankton of the Boston, Halifax and St. John line went on the rocks off Nixes Mate light early today as she was leaving Boston harbor. The Yankton has a crew of 23 officers and men, carries a general cargo and no passengers. Tugs are standing by. An attempt will be made to haul her off the rocks. The Yankton, which had sailed yesterday afternoon anchored over night in the harbor because of inclement weather. She had hardly got under way today when she went on the rocks. The Yankton was once the private yacht of King Edward, when he was Prince of Wales. It later was owned by Sarah Bernhardt. The U.S. government acquired her before the Spanish-American war and she was converted into a gunboat and saw service at Santiago. She was the pacemarker of the round-the-world cruise in 1908. During the world war she was a dispatch carrier. Shortly after the government relinquished ownership the Yankton appeared before Nassau and Florida as a rum runner and was captured. The steamship company now owns her. STILL PLENTY OF TIME FOR RAINS Growers who may be worrying over the rainfall shortage this season are reminded that the two months, February as March, which with January constitute the best of the season in point of precipitation, are still to come. In Los Angeles, whose rainfall is practically the same as that of Orange County, the average in November is 1.16 inches December 2.71, January 3.27, February 3.07, and March 2.86. Another cheering feature is that there is much more snow in the mountains now than there was at this time in 1924, so that the Santa Ana river will have a supply of water for the summer months. One half the average precipitation of rain falls after Jan. 25. Y.M.C.A. IN PEPPY ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of the Anaheim, Y. M.
