EL0PES WITH AUTO
RACER; IS welded
SybiI Bowman, a Stenographer,
Flies with Harold Stone to
a Secret Marriage
BRIDES MOTHER TO FORGIVE
Ceremony Is Performed in Santa
Ana-CoupIe on Honey
moon in San Diego

Harold A. Stone, 26 years old. well
known about town as an automobile
driver, and Miss Sybl Bowman, %
years old, stenographer for Attorney
Earl Rogers, eloped and were quietly
married Saturday afternoon at Santa
Ana. The couple are now in San Diego
on their honeymoon.
Mrs. Adaline Bowman, 1910 South
Oak street, mother of the runaway
bride, who did not learn of the mar
riage until last evening, and who 1t
was expected would show great in
dignation and, perhaps, refuse to for
give her daughter, took the matter
very calmly, and will welcome the
couple back as soon as they get ready
to return.
The couple have known each other
for some time and is was no great sur
prise to their friends to learn that they
were married. In fact, even the moth
er of the bride admitted last night that
she had been led to believe for some
time that they would be married soon,
the surprise to her being that they
choose to elope rather than have
regular wedding.
Saturday being half holiday it sur
prised no one when, shortly after noon,
Mr.. Stone drove up to Mr.. Rogers Of
flee, apparently to take Miss Bowman
for a ride. They went from this city
directly to Santa Ana and secured
their license so late in the afternoon
that 1t was not published with the
ether marriage notices of the day I'M
mediatel after the ceremony their
journey was continued to San Diego.
From Santa Ana, after the knot was
safely tied. Mrs. Stone communicated
with friends here and requested that
all news of the elopement should be
kept from Mrs. Bowman until the
couple could return and beg maternal
forgiveness in the regular way.
In some manner, however, rumors
reached the ears of Mrs. Bowman. AT
first she did not credit them, telling
all who inquired that they were about
two months ahead of time with their
congratulations and good wishes. The
rumors were persistent. however and
finally. last evening absolute confirma
tion of the reports came.
1t Is not known what the young cou
pie will do when they return, but 1t is
probable that they will make this city
their home. Mr. Stone is in the auto
mobile business here.

BANE'S s20,1S6 SHORTAGE
DEMANDED OF BONDING CO.
Experts Who Have Worked on His
Books Determine Amount
of Missing Coin

SANTA MONICA, June 6.-Followine
the filing of the experts report today,
Mayor T. H. Dudley made formal de-
mand upon the Aetna Indemnity COM
pany to pay to the city the sum of
$20,196 16, which is the total amount en-
beZzled by Ralph Bane. defaulting city
treasurer and tax collector. The Aetna
company honded Bane for $4,000. Half
of this amount was underwritten by
the National Surety company.
For more than five weeks, or since
the disappearance of Bane, April 29,
experts have been at work on the
books of the treasurer and tax collect
ors office. The amount stated to be
due the city by Bane's defalcation Is
covered by the bond which went into
effect last December. What might be
missing previous to that time is yet a
matter for investigation. The bond
and coupon accounts of the missing
treasurer have not yet been gone over.
According to the report, which was
also presented to the city council to-
night, Bane took the money in the two
months Immediately preceding his de-
parture, while the most of it was taken
within a few days of that event. The
report also shows that Bane was short
$474.59 in his accounts with the city
on February 28, 1910. A shortage of
$9945 was discovered at the time, and
acknowledged and made good by Bane.
The mayor, city clerk and city attorney
counted the cash then.
Despite the fact that Bane,'s descrip-
ton has been sent broadcast, the police
have received no word of his where
abouts Detectives are known to be
searching diligently for the defaulter
Friends here declare 1t their opinion
that he has sought refuge in British
Columbia.

Great Authorities Agree
That Distilled Water Is the Purest and
Most Reliable for General Drinking
Purposes

purposes
The positive proof that distilled
water is the safe drinking water may
be found in the methods employed by
those who have studied health condi-
tions and can act with authority.
In the u. S. navy, for instance, dis
titled water is generally used for drink
ing purposes. In the army, in many
instances where reasonably pure water.
supplies are not available, distilled
water is used.
The world over, medical experts ad-
wise the use of distilled water. And to
come nearer home, right here in Los
Angeles hundreds of physicians use
distilled water and recommend it in
their practice-and practically all tha
leading hospitals are regular users of
distilled water.
They use Puritas Distilled Water-the
only reliably pure drinking water obtain
able hereabouts. And you ought to be just
as careful to have an abundant supply of
Puritas in your home at all times. al you
are to have plenty of rure, wholesome
food.
Pure water is soft water. It keeps the
is "hard" water. containing considerable
| amounts of mineral matter These be-
come deposited in the body causing kidney
and rheumatic troubles
The common sense plan is to drink Purf-
tas. and plenty OF it, You may be sure of
its uniform purity-every demijohn, all the
time.
Puritas is distilled twice and aerated with
pure ozone. We bottle it in clean glass
demijohns. This work is so carefully done
that the water reaches you with all its
wholesome purity intact.
Puritas is inexpensive-5 gallons cost but
40c delivered within the old city boundary
lines.
At points beyond this the price is a
trife more. owing to the long haul. Reg
ular Puritas customers purchase coupon
books, thereby materially reducing the ex-
pense.
