A hurried trip through Anahelm
Sunday showed US that that ster.
ling old colony, the original and
archetype of the many which have
since added to the wealth of South
ern California, is still, as of old,
self-sustaining and prosperous.
There are few spots on the Ameri-

lion fell, but Immediately after
jumped to his feet and made off.
From the manner in which he ran
against trees and rocks it was evil

eyes of the lion. Going back to
the Villa Charlie summoned to his
aid Mr.. Rhoades and his hounds,
but on arriving at the scene OF the
shooting, the hounds would not
take the scent and follow the
wounded beast, and the sportsmen
had to return empty handed.
