Death of Rev. H. ID. ConnelI-A War on
Bicyclists.
SANTA ANA, Jan. 14.-This morning
about 1915, the soul of I'll. d. Connell
took it's fight to the better world.
The Rev. H. D. Connell was pastor oi
the Christian church in this city for
about four years. He was undoubtedly
one of the best orators in Southern Cal
ifornia, and as preacher he had few
equals. He came here about four years
ago from the northern part OF the state
and ever since his arrival in our city he
has been recognized as remarkable
. man in more ways than one. He has
been ar honored member OF our city
school board until he was forced to
resign on account of failing health. His
health had not been good since he came
here, but he had attended to his duties as
though in the best OF health. The past
six months he has been failing rapidly
until he was compelled to keep in
doors most OF the time. The day before
yesterday he was out riding. No one
knew better than he that his DAYS were
numbered and few at most, and near
the last he made arrangements for his
funeral, which will take place at the
Christian church Tuesday, January 10th,
at2 p.m., under the auspices OF Santa
Ana Lodge No. 24l f, and A. M.
A young daughter OF the deceased
who has had scarlet fever, ia nearly
we'll and the quarantine has been raised
go there is no danger of contracting the
disease.
NOTICE TO MAsGNs.
Santa Ana Lodge No. 241, f. and A.
M, will meet in their hall Tuesday,
January 18th, at 80. for the purpose
OF attending the funeral of brother H.
D. Connell. NJ. A. Menges, w. NJ; D.
+. Jones, secretary.
BICYCLE RIDERS A DANGER.
At the next regular meeting of the
board of supervisors Hon. I. A. Bennett,
the committeeman appointed by the
Farmers alliance of Tustin to appear
before the board in order to induce that
honorable body to regulate the travel
of bicycle riders. In a resolution the
alliance declare that the travel of bicy.
Gle riders has become an actual danger
to people in the country driving teams.
They go further, and declare that the
accident which resulted in the death
of M. B. Sitten, was attributed to a
bicycle rider, who ran in front of the
team he was driving. There ia no
doubt careless wheelmen, who fail to
observe the etiquette OF public travel,
but it would be safe to venture that
there are two to one who drive teams
that are willing to acknowledge that a
bicyclist has any right on public
highway.
In justice to the wheslman who is
accused of causing the accident to the
late M. B. Sittoa, the writer will state
that in an interview with the daughter
OF the unfortunate gentleman the next
morning after the accident occurred.
she said that on the day previous to the
evening that her father wac killed, a
gentleman borrowed the wagon belong
ing to her father, and that he was COM
PEELED to use one that did not belong to
him on that fatal evening that the eyes
OF the tugs did not fit the fastening to
the singletrees and that they would
come loose whenever the tugs were
sackened; that on the evening when
the bicyclist ran past the team they
stepped back and three OF the tugs
dropped off and when they Htarted for
ward the tongue dropped and ran into
the ground, upsetting the wagon, with
the well-known fatal result. She said
that had her father been driving their
own wagon that it WAS not ut all probable
that the accident would have occurred.
NOTES.
S. 7. Miller. the well-known bee man
OF Southern California, left for Little
Rock, Ark, Saturday. to visit brother
that he has not seen for 20 years.
Santa Ana is to be enlivened by bal
loon ascension and parachute leap this
week; also some free exhibitions by a
medical man. A free show in Santa
Ana is drawing card.
There are barnacles in every town.
Santa Ana has her ehsre. They have
soured on the world, and epdeavor to
impart their aurid nature to everv
individual they come in contact
with. To illustrate: Yesterday @ real
estate dealer was attempting to cell
q newcomer q certain piece of property,
and had about succeeded in making the
deal. The purchaser was perhaps ex-
pecting his moneys worth but 1t hap
peneG that business man in this city
heard OF the deal that was under head
way, and at the frat opportunity he
went to the wouldbe purchaser and
said to him: IL heard that you were
attempting to make deal for some
property. Now, you are stranger to
me, but you will do we'll to accept my
advice. Don't you buy anything in
this valley. Keep your money in your
pockets" The deal up to this writing
is off. and our chronic has the estisiac-
tion OF knowing that he was the csuse
of it.
