SHEPPARD GONE.

He Is Said to He wanted by HIS
Creditors.
During the week there have been nu-
merous inquiries for the present address
Of J. A. Sheppard, who was formerly the
proprietor of the Peerless restaurant, on
West Third street, in this city. He is
said to be wanted by host of anxious
creditors, none of whom, however, are
mulcted in any large amount of money.
The missing restauranteur made his
debut in this city about year ago as q
waiter in the Vienna Bakery, on Spring
street. While acting in this ca
pacity he formed number OF
more or less influential acquaintance
ships among Republican "ward strik-
ers," and as the result of his scheming
was appointed as Secretary Of
the new Union League Club. For
his services during the campaign
he was, it is alleged, set up in business
at the ''Peerless" but after dragging
along tor several months the restaurant
was closed. Sheppard was then thrown
upon his own resources, and few weeks
ago he and a friend evolved scheme
which proved eminently successful. They
elected themselves a committee of ar
raneements Of the Elite Benevolent
Society, and gave grand bal masque at
the Turner ball, for which tickets to the
amount of 5000 were sold. With this
sum Sheppard is said to have abeconded
without having paid the bills necessarily
contracted in the enterprise, in addition
to other debts the amount of which
cannot be ascertained. Sheppard is be-
lieved to bs in Seattle.

OIL Boring ON chime.

During the week Messrs. Dan McFar-
land and Griffith Colt, Of Los Angeles.
have agreed upon fifty-year lease with
Richard Gird to bore for oil (includinR
natural gas) in the Chino hills about fiyo
miles from this town, actual work to be-
gin within thirty days. The lessees arc
interested in oil development. Mr.. Nc
Farland Ia member Of the Sespe Oil
Company. He regards the oil indications
in the Chino hills as very favorable, and
is willing to spend all the money re-
quired to thoroughly test them. The lo-
cality is really continuation of the Pu-
ente district. The foreman of the Puente
wells is borer from the Pennsylvania
oil regions, and he is positive that oil in
paying quantities underlies the land Just
placed under lease.
1t is possible that these gentlemen will
also handle the bituminous rock found in
the same locality. A verbal understand
ing to this effect has been made.
The contemplated operations by
Messrs. McF Fsrland and Colt in the Chino
hills are quite important. If successful,
as all well informed in the premises be-
lieve they will be, much additional local
business will result. Fuel will be cheap
ened in this locality--an item Of inn
mense Importance in view OF the great
sugar plant to be located here. ANY and
all enterprises that give additional labor
are at once . help and blessing whes-
ever established. .--[Chino Champion,

single Tax Club.

Yesterday society was organized in
this city by the name of "The Los An
geles Single Tax Club" The object OF
the society is expressed in the following
extract from it's constitution: "We advo-
cate the abolition of all taxes upon in
dustry and the products of industry and
the tacking by taxation upon land values
irrespective Of improvements of the an
nusl rental value of all those various
forms of natural opportunities embraced
under the general term, land. We hold
that to tax labor or it's products is to dis
courage industry. We hold that to tax
land values to their full amount will rem
der it impossible for any man to exact
from others price for the privilege of
using those bounties of nature in which
all living men have an equal right of
use; that it will compel every individual
controlling natural opportunities to either
utilize them by the employment Of labor
or abandon them to others; that it will
thus provide opportunities of work for all
men, and secure to each the full reward
of his labor and that as result involun-
tary poverty will be abolished and the
greed. intemperance and vice that spring
from poverty and the dread of poverty
will be swept away"

1t has been known for some time that
the gripmen and conductors in the EN-.
ploy of the Pacific Railway Company
have been discontented with the wages
which they were receiving, and have
been making efforts to obtain an ad-
vance. Some time ago q petition was
sent in to Mr.. Robinson, the Superin-
tendent OF the line, asking that the wages
of those whose names were signed be
raised from lS cents to 221S cents an hour.
The petition was forwarded to Chicago,
but MIR. Holmes, the President of the
company, returned answer that nothing
could be done until the entire system was
completed.
The system was recently completed by
the opening of the Seventh-street line,
and the men Immediately circu-
lated = petition again asking for
an advance. This was laid before
Mr.. Robinson by committee of five
gripmen last evening. A conference of
about an hour took place. Mr.. Robin
son explained that the present author
tiles of the road had not established the
existing scale OF wages, but had taken it
from the original company. He said the
directors had contemplated making some
advance in the mems pay as soon as the
system was completed, and he was pre-
pared to accede to any reasonable COM
promise. The men on their part showed
a willingness to compromise the matter,
and an agreement was soon reached.
The pay of the men was to be
advanced from the first of January
to twenty cents an hour, and
the pay of those who had been in
the employ of the company whole year
should be 221a cents an hour. The com.
mittee had no power to accept this ar.
rangement, but the men individually ex-
pressed their approval of it and it will
undoubtedly be accepted by the organic.
alton which they represent.
In the course Of the conference, which
was an open affair, Mr.. Robinson paid
high tribute to the excellent record which
the gripmen had made in running the
cars such length of time without an
accident. The best of feeling seemed to
prevail between both sides engaged in
the discussion, and the decision finally
reached appears to reflect credit upon
the good judgment of both.

Rev. M. J. Brcnnan's First Mass.
The ceremonies at st. Vincent's church
yesterday were unusually impressive. A
large congregation assembled to witness
the first mass of Rev. M. J. Brennan.
Rev. J. A. Linn, @. M, acted as deacon
of the mass, and Mr.. F. Mcneil, @. M,
sub-deacon. The assistant priest was
Very Rev. A. J. Meyer, G. NJ, who also
delivered the sermon. He took for the
subject of his discourse: "The Christian
Priesthood" In the course of his re.
marks he spoke of the dignity, grandeur
and excellence Of the priesthood, and
then very feelingly adverted to his early
connection with the young priest. About
fifteen years ago, while performing
parochial duties at the Immaculate Con.

Father Meyer first perceived in
him indications of the divine
call. Whilst pursuing his studies

that some day Hot Springs would be a

10 tap the Iron Mountain Railroad
with a narrow-gauge road, for
prior to 1872 people who wanted
to reach Hot Springs were compelled,
after they disem barked from trains
on the Iron Noun ain road, to reach
Hot Springs by stage coach, and neith-
err the coach nor the road over which
it travelled was in the best condition.
Diamond Joe obtained a charter from
the Legislature of Arkansas which per-
mitted him to charge each passenger
on his road at the rate of ten cents per
mile until the road was brought within
the limits of Hot Springs. Diamond
Joe confined to charge ten cents per
mile until a couple of years ago. as
the terminus of his road was just out
side the limits of Hot Springs.
A couple of years ago the Legisla-
ture, egged on by philanthropists who
felt certain that Diamond Joe was
too much money, compelled
Mr.. Re nolds to carry his road into
Hot Springs and to reduce his rate to
five cents per mile. Being man who
is open to reason. when it is backed
with sufficient authority, he obeyed
the order. He has not lost money by
the change, for the crowd that visits

TRICKS OF SAvAGES.

How They Conceal Themselves in Order to
Surprise Their Enemies.
An experienced savage warrior in
an emergency. can conceal his dusky
limbs in tiny bush that hardly seems
large enough to hide rabbit, and if
no bush should be at hand, a few stones
will serve the same purpose. In such
warfare, a rife which will kill at a
range of 1000 yards is useless against
foe who may be near enough to be
touched. but persistently keeps out of
sight. Moreover, at the distance of a
few yards. the assaga; is the most
deadly of weapons. Even while lying
on the ground u Kafir, with a sort OF
underhand jerk. can propel his weapon
with certain aim and with deadly
force There is no report, and no
smoke betrays the position of the
thrower, who, as soon as he has struck
his foe, glides off like snake and seeks
a new ambush. In the late Ashantee
war the chief difficulty lay in the fact
that it was scarcely ever possible to
obtain more than passing glimpses of
the black-skinn d enemy who was fir
ing at the English soldiers from the
lark shad TVS of the bush. The Asian
lee warriors knew better than to ven-
ture into open ground. They hung on
the TANKS of the advancing army. and
kept up a close and CALLING fire from
distance of only few feet. their dark
bodies being quite invisible in the
oush.
Even when surprised in the open
country. the dark savage is at no loss
for modes of concealment. For exam

In this position he looks so exactly
like the ..blackboy" bush that the
enemy when in pursuit might pass
within a few yards without detecting
the imposture. In Africa and India
there are certain tribes which employ
a still more ingenious mode of conceal
ment. or, rather, of deception. their
dark color being an indispensable adj
iunct to the stratagem. When they
go on their marauding expeditions

BURGLAR INSURANCE
The Startling Suggestion Made by a VIA
Awake st. Louis Physician.


Awake st. Louis Physician.
Why not have burglar Insurance
company? We have life, fire, acct
dent and other insurance companies:
and yet the risk of loss of life, health
or property by burglary is as great as
that from any other cause. In orr
present high state of civilized life it ia
an accident most likely to happen, and
is constant and unavoidable risk. Tn
the West End thirty-eight burglaries
were committed within the last two
months. Any responsible COMPANY
which would undertake to indemnify
its subscribers for such loss could
command high premium, and an
immense patronage. Not only the
wealthy would join, but any BODY
who had any thing, especial.
ly the large middle class, who
can little afford to lose what
they have. l am of the lat
ter class. I have lost by burglary
within the last four years more than
five hundred dollars worth of clothino
alone. If had a wife and iewelrv
my loss would, of course, have been
proportionately greater. 1 am care
full man, too; l pay my nightwatchman
regularly as he comes round every
month; l use political influence to have
a double police force in my part of the
town. and l keep a dog in the back
yard so nobody can come in that wav.
l lie awake at night listening for sus-
picious sounds, and came near shoot
ing one of the other boarders who
came in rather late the other night. I
sit on my trunk for hours during the
day with navy revolver in my hand.
But sometimes | have other things to
attend to, and it is always when least
expected that the burglars come to
make their collections. Sometimes
they come again the following night,
but only when they have forgotten
something. Seldom is any thing re-
covered, and when something is re.
turned it is generally by the burglars
generosity, which prompts them to re.
turn heirlooms, or, perhaps, their lack
of sentiment does not allow them to
appreciate heirlooms. If VIZ overlook
the shortcomings of burglar we can
see that he serves a good purpose as
well as every thing else in creation.
He serves indirectly to secure work for
the lOclsmith. the tailor, the jeweler.
profit to the second hand clothing
dealer and support to a numerous and
stately police force. A company has
been formed which offers to put tele-
graph facilities into every house for
$l2 year, by which one can call a
mounted police officer every time a
burglar is in the house. 1t is hoped
that the horse will brighten the burg.
lar. But this company does not in
demnify the hOusekeeper when the
burglar has packed up and gone with
the goods. Therefore burglar insur-
ance company is pressing nee sity.
