Sudden Death of DR.. ST ANYWAY.

We were shocked to hear of the
sudden death of DR.. Il. S. Stairway,
which occurred at about half-past
seven o'clock yesterday evening,
from apoplexy. The Doctor had
been in the enjoyment of his usual
health up to five o'clock, when he
was taken with vertigo. Mrs.
Stairway at once sent for DR.. Wise,
his regular physician, who arrived
shortly after. DR.. Kurtz meantime
had been summoned. Both did u II
they could to save the sufferers
life but without avail and about
two hours after the attack DIR.
Stairway had ceased to breathe.
The deceased had suffered for a
number of years from asthma and
several times had been attacked
with premonitory symptoms of the
disease from which he died, but,
notwithstanding, his many friends
were ineXpressibly surprised and
shocked at his sudden taking off. A
post mortem examination was to
have been held last night.

Thorough Work.

The photograph building which
stood on First street was demolish-
ed in very thorough way yester-
day, in thu wee sma' hours. 1t was
located on the property recently
purchased from Mayor MacDou-
gall by Mr.. Nadeau, and on which
the latter gentleman proposes to
erect his fine block. 1t appears
that Judge Thomas HI. Smith
claimed the building in right of the
wife of the deceased photographer,
also named Smith. AT o'clock of
the morning, few minutes after
the HERALD had gone to press,
Judge Smith, accompanied by o
number of workmen, appeared on
the scene, and began taking the
gallery down. Mr.. Nadeau's agent
was presently aroused, came post
haste to the local Rialto, and entered
his protest. Judge Smith instructed
his workmen to do right though the
heavens should fall, and proceed
with their work with the utm ost
possible expedition. Mr.. Nadeau's
agent disappeared and came back
with officers Jerome and Tribolet
aud ordered the demolition of the
building to stop. Judge Smith Or
dered the workmen to disregard
the arrest. The officers, however,
persevered and were presently re-
inforced by the arrival of Chief
of Police Harris, who commanded
u halt.
1t was now the turn of Judge
Smith to disappear, which he did
with the promptitude with which
Harlequin in the pantomime dis
charges himself through an appa-
rently solid wall. This sagacious
limb of the law had had the SER
pents wisdom to provide himself
with warrants of arrest against
John Doe, Richard Roe, and other
tumultuous people who might feel
inclined to interfere with his Wit
ruvius like operations. With
these documents in his hands, and
accompanied by a Deputy Sheriff,
Judge Smith with Mephistophel-
ian smile, appeared again upon the
scene; and, presto, Harris, Jerome
and Tribolet found themselves all
under arrest aud powerless to inter-
fere with the removal of that build
ing, which thereupon and thereaf-
ter incontinently disappeared.
1t seems that the whole trouble
arose from the neglect of Mayor
MacDougall, in selling the prop
erty to Mr.. Nadeau, to except the
building aforesaid from the deed.
What the subsequent legal and
other developments will be we are
not advised.

Santa Paula Oil Belt.

We have received communica-
ton from Santa Paula, signed
"Mark us One" the whole Of which
we do not publish because 1t con-
tains bitter and detailed attack
OH San Buenaventura, for which
place we have hearty good will.
After abiding to the failure of the
attempt to reach oil in the corpor-
ate limits of Ventura, after sinking
to depth of one thousand feet,
"Mark us Onen says:
"Had the Star Oil Company
located their works, and prosecuted
their developments back from the
sea-beach fifteen or twenty miles,
on the known oil belt, ere they
would have expended half the sum
thrown away on the Lady Emma
and Los Coctas wells, near Ven.
tura, oil would have been found in
quantities not yet struck upon the
Pacific Coast. The above company
are doing nothing in the way of
developing the oil interests of Ven
tura county, but the Los Angeles
and Santa Barbara companies are
progressing rapidly with their ma
chinery in putting down their
wells, the former on the Little
Sespe and the other in what is
known as Hopson's cafion. These
companies are prospecting at a
point Oh the oil belt where every
indication is favorable for a rich
strike of oil. They are situated on
the north side of the Santa Clara
river on q line of the belt northwest
from the Pico well about fifteen
or twenty miles. Numerous oil
springs exist in the vicinity where
they are operating, some of which
flow several barrels per day.
While following the oil belt west
ward after leaving Adams & Co. q
oil works, the indications diminish
until, at n point near where the
Star Oil Company tried their late
experiment., nothing exists save
surface indications or rather Il resi-
dunn of oil, the depth of which is
only "a few hundred feet.
The Santa Paula oil region indi-
Gates vast deposits. The mountains
are about the same altitude as at
the Pico oil locality, and the COLI
formation of the rocks and dip are
similar. Several natural oil springs
exist in this vicinity, some of
which would pay well to work. On
the east side of Santa Paula creek
about five miles from this place, is
n large oil spring, known as the
Hercules, from which flows over
six barrels ofcrude oil, which gives
20 gravity.
The oil interest of Ventura
county is just in its infancy, and
would ever remain so, if it were left
to the capital and enterprise of
Ventura to develop it, for the soon
er that place finds out that she Is
simply quiet, pleasant littlo sea-
beach village, and that her future
must depend upon the develop
ments and. resources which exist
outside of the corporate limits of
the place, the less time she will
give the public to laugh at her self
opinionated greatness.
Whether San Buenaventura will
form joint stock concern and bore
for oil in her Plaza, or ask Congress
to donate half million to construct
breakwater,r remain to be seen, but
that Santa Paula, in the near flu
ture, will take the wind out of Ven
tura's sails, is too patenta fact to be
relished by the close communion
Venturaites.n
