John A. Owen, city attorney of Po-
mona, writes as follows: The statement
in Sundays Herald that the city of Po-
mona now charges license fee of S. for
each evenings performance for church
entertainments Is an inadvertent error.
The former ordinance under which such
charges were sometimes collected was
expressly repealed at the beginning Of
the year. The ordinance now provides
only that "for every rope, wire, dancing,
magic. legerdemain or theatrical exhi-
bition, show or game, and all travelling
shows and exhibitions, other than those
above mentioned, where g. price of ad-
mission is asked or charged or contri-
buttons solicited for each day or part Of
day S."
The ordinance was carefully changed

suffered and to limit 1t to the bounds
fixed by the legislature.

Railroad Officials Inspect the Gap-The
Death of Richard Hall.

SANTA BARBARA, Jan. 25.-The
party of Southern Pacific railway off1c-
ials that arrived in this city Saturday
afternoon left yesterday in their two
private cars for San Francisco. Among
them were Col. c. F. Crocker, vice-pres-
ident; j. A. Fillmore, general superin-
tendent; John 1. Sabin, DR.. c. Gardner,
Chauncey Depew, Robert McMurray
and F. r. Webster. In the course of an
interview the vice-president stated,
while here, that the foreclosure of gov
ernment lien would accelerate progress
in filling the gap in this county.
The death of DR.. Richard ]. Hall at

this community. He was great sur

His death is a public calamity. The

FALLBROOK, Jan. 25.-The irriga-

the decision of the supreme court on the
Wright law, hence nothing definite is
known as to the next move in the mat

probably from the lack of any need for
artificial watering, nature having

our hilarity.

Major e. A. Weed and Lieut.. Fred L..
Farnham defendants. Major Weed and
Lieut.. Farnham are on their way from

roadway over the Santa Ana wash be-

met Mr.. Romerts going with his team to-

own testimony, made up his mind to
play road hog, and did SO, causing the
wheelmen to jump off their wheels and
startling the horses. 1t seems probable
that words were exchanged and Roberts
had the wheelmen arrested Saturday
night. Trial was set for 10 o'clock this
morning, but Roberts asked for con-
tinuance, and the case was set for 2
o'clock this afternoon. The defendants
waived the right of jury and defended
themselves, and no one was surprised
when Judge Camp stated that It was
useless to proceed farther and the case
was dismissed.

ANAHEI.M.
A Residence Burned-A Lady's Narrow
Escape from Death.

ANAHEIM, Jan. 25.-The residence
Of Frank Reynolds, who lives in the
northwestern portion of the city, was
destroyed by fire Friday evening.
Mrs. Reynolds was at home alone,
and about 6:3 o'clock she went UP stairs.
Just as she reached the upper landing
she stumbled and the lamp fell from
her hand and exploded. She ran into
an adjoining room and got a quilt with
which she smothered the flames, but
when she threw the quilt on the blaze
it only tended to spread the fire and her
dress catching fire she had to turn her
attention to saving herself. She soon
smothered the fire out of her dress.
In short time neighbors began to come
in, but the fire had gained such head
way that all they could do was to save
what they could from the lower re oms.
Everything was taken out and then
work was. begun to try to save the tank
house and wind mill which was in close
proximity to the burning building. By
the liberal use of water and the most
strenuous efforts of heroic men this was
saved
Mr.. Reynolds bought the place from
Col. Keith and has only been living on
it about a year. He had quite a lot
of furniture stored in the upper rooms
which was lost.
The cost of the building Is said to have
been $1,000. There was $500 insurance
on the dwelling and wind mill.
