SHOW DECIDED GROWTH

SANTA ANA, July S.-The county
assessment rolls just handed over to
the supervisors show an increase in the
assessed valuation of the county of
more than $1.5OO,000. This addition to
the county's wealth is found principally
outside of the incorporated cities.
Apricot drying is now in, full blast,
and every available man, woman and
child can find employment for the next
week or two. The crop is an average
one, but the fruit is small and prices
promise to be far from satisfactory to
the grower.
The Tustin Lemon association has
proved so far satisfactory to the grow
ers, and the stocks of fruit in the pack.
ing house are keeping well. Prices are
light, however, and shipments are go
ing forward slowly.
Work in excavating for the 600-ton
beet sugar factory to be erected here
will begin tomorrow morning, when a
dozen teams will be started removing
the earth for foundation for the main
building. The machinery is on the
way from the east and will arrive here
in the course of this month, when
building operations will be pushed as
rapidly as men and money can do the
work, in order to get the plant ready
for next seasons crop.
George Yung, proprietor Of one of the
wineries here, who was to have ap-
peared in Fullerton to be tried for SELL
ing whisky, was unable to appear on
account of sudden Illness and his case
was continued to August 10. Another
case is pending against this same
winery, a son of the proprietor having
been arrested for violating the prohibi-
tion act some months ago. On convic-
tion the case was appealed to the SUI
preme court to test the constitutionality
of the ordinance.
Ordinance Against PooIrooms
A crusade against poolrooms in this
city has taken shape in the adoption
of an ordinance by the city council pro-
hibiting the business of pool or bill
liards in any place but one single room
without partitions or anything else that
may obstruct the view of the interior
from the front. The ordinance is aimed
at one place in particular that was
opened recently. It's proprietors are
alleged by the city marshal to have
arranged the premises for the primary
purpose of conducting blind pig.

held have been unusually successful.
much interest has been manifest, and
great enthusiasm shown. The dem

in making things pleasant.
Among the very successful meetings

Lena Gollnik, the young daughter: Of
Mrs. Gollnik, made a statement
yesterday afternoon, after her mother
had been taken away, which will tend
to confirm the verdict rendered. She
said she had not said these things on

such evidence and her mother should
be freed.

was going to kill Gollnik, that she
had secured revolver for that pur.
pose, but though she would use a
hammer, as Gollnik had read out Of q
newspaper that it was easier at certain
times to kill with a hammer That
on the Monday previous to the murder
her mother said she intended to kill
Gollnik, probably before wheat stack

HOUSE BURNS THURSDAY.

The residence of Jos. Porten, located
at the corner of 4th avenue and Fifth
street, was badly burned by fire Thurs
day morning about II o'clock. Mr.
Porten was moving out, and had only
removed the stove, and 1t is thought
that a fire brand from the chimney
must have been the cause of the fire.
The fire was quite well under way
by the time the department arrived,
and it took about an hour to put down
the blaze. The building and furniture
were each insured for $500, which
probably covers the loss.
