Mortgages Forecloscd

In the case of this State Loan and Trust
company VS.. Allen ct al, suit to foreclose
a note and mortgage for $50, Judge
Shaw yesterday gave judgment for the
plaintiff. In the case of the same COM
pany against Palmer ct al, to foreclose a
note and mortgage for $3.50, decree was
also given for the plaintiff.
The hearing of the case of n. s. Jonah
ct al. vs. Mrs. A. Lowell ct al, suit to
foreclose a mechanics lien, occupied the
remainder of the session, and was not con-
cluded at the hour of adjournment. The
trouble grows ont of the fact that Jonah
and Brent, contractors, took the job of
putting certain alterations on building
belonging to Mrs Lowell on the corner of
Tenth street and Broadway. Among those
alterations were certain which were not on
the plans, but which it is stated were in
tended to be there, and for these the
plaintiffs claim $4iO. Mrs. Lowell resists
on the ground that they should have been
put on under the contract, aud that they
were not ordered as extras. The matter
was submitted to board of arbitrators
and they decided in favor of the plaintiffs
for $3.50. The defendant, however, re-
fused to accept the award, and all efforts
to bring about another arbitrament were a
failure, SO suit was brought.

FROM THE OIL FIELD

Notes Of Recent Progress Made Among the
Dcrrichs
OF the new wells that have been opened
in the oil fed recently that belonging to
the Rex company, above Belmont avenue,
gives the best evidence of becoming a
spouter. The drill has been sent down
over 900 feet and is still bieng operated,
though progress has become somewhat
Glow. The hole is full of oil, which is
forced to the top of the casing by the great
amount of gas underneath. In all proba-
biiity the we'll will be spouter, as it is To-
Gated in the western end of the territory
near the Nelson we'll, which did such phe-
nomenal gushing some time ago.
After having pumped water for several
weeks the Marin well, on Lakeshore ave-
nue., will be cleaned, and it thought will
yield good return of oil. When it was
drilled o heavy vein of petroleum was PEN
etrated, which for time was pumped sue
cessfuily, until the water broke in; and
being heavier than the oil, forced it back,

Stencil on South Main Street Similar to Tan

The city health authorities have an ex-
cellent opportunity TO cover themselves
with glory and at tho same time do some
thing which is demanded of them in the
performance of their duty.
Last evening the am osphere on South

what the odors are that arc waited on the
breezes from II taanery in full operation.
The stencil in this instance came from the
direction of Naud's warehouse, and il Was

its full force were for time in doubt
as to whether they could rem in in their

Baker Estate LITIGATION

The matter of the final distribution of
the estate of r. S. Baker, deceased. was
partially heard before Judge Clark yester-
day afternoon. The administrator, G. H.
Forbes, has filed his final report, showing
that he has collected $16,127.15, and paid
out SIG, 1S1.33. leaving the estate in
debted to him $54.1S, and is now ready to
turn over the property to the heirs, as may
be directed by the court. A complication
has, however, arisen, and it was this COM
plication that was being Strengthened out
yesterday afternoon. When the estate
was first appraised by Messrs. d, w. Field,
Oscar Macy and Walter ). Moore, the
value was returned as 6S.531.5O. Two
of the heirs then transferred their interests
to Messrs. w. F. Williamson and Henry
B. Mayo, two San Francisco attorneys,
for small amount of money and legal
services to contest for share of the COM
munity property, very large amount.
Later additional property was discovered,
and on a reapDraisement the value was
given as $26O,7O0. The heirs, who trans
ferred their interests, then wanted to an
null the transfer, claiming that it was only
in the nature of q mortgage to secure the
attorneys for legal services. The attor-
neys claim that the transfer was absolute.
The facts were presented before Judge
Clark yesterday afternoon, when the mat
ter was continued for argument until Mon
day mo rning next.
