ington to hereafter report in detail the

own cost and expense collect all dead
animals within the corporate limits OF

such work is done. 1t is further agreed
that in removing the dead animals under
this contract, parties OF the second part
shall carry or convey the same through
the streets in closed conveyances; that

Sheriff Burr left on the o'clock train
yesterday afternoon to bring them bacx
and if nothing happens they will arrive
in the city this Afternoon at 2 o'clock, or
by tonight at the outside.
For several days past Sheriff Burr has
known that all three of the people
wanted had gone north. but no trace
could be found of thin after leaving Los
Angeles. Finally the Lepage woman
was located in Ventura. She was alone,
and 1T was then ascertianed that Rangot
and Adrienne had gone ON to Santa Bar
bara. Sheriff Hicks was notified to keep
lookout for them, and he made a search
of the city, but they could not be found
In the meantime, however. Sheriff Burr
had sent out circulars containing the
pictures OF Adrienne and Rangot, with
full descriptions of both, and it was to
this fact that the capture was doubtless
due. 1t has been ascertained that the
couple reached Santa Barbara on Saturday
last, and went into hiding. They sue

day by the stage to Lompoc, and started

then took the stand. He related the cir
cum stances of the arrest of the men at
the Hafen house on Septe mber I'D. The
officers had found i'll their rooms billy,
two REVIEWERS, skeleton keys, nippers and
other paraphernalla generally necessary
in the profession of burglar.
Several days after the arrest a register
ed letter arrived from San Francisco and
was addressed to Davis, which he refused
to open. A second registered letter arriv-
ed addressed to Williams, which the man
signed for, but wanted the postal m essen
ger 10 take it back to the postoffice. Both
of these letters had been opened by order
of the court. In the first was found 81. 10
and gold ring and In the other $50 IN
gold. The witness said that Davis. Will
Jams ano Moss had all three confessed
their guilt to him.
AT this point Davis. who seems to be
the leader of the crew, spoke up and
stated that what Mr.. Goodman had told
was true-ttat they had purglarized the
house. As soon as he had finish ed he
was followed in succession by Moss and
Williams. who admitted their guilt and
completely in the affair.
1t was at this point that the dramatic
part and the surprises OF the examina-
ton occurred. Williams slowly arose
and partially facing the court and the
crowd of off GERS related how the bur-
glary had been committed. He said that
he. Moss and Davis went to Reuff's house
about O'Clock in the evening. Moss
watched in the front and he and Davis
walked around to the rear and effected an
entrance. They pushed the key out of
the lock with the aid OF ths nippers and
then unlocked the door with their skel-
eton keys. They went upstairs to bed
room and opened a bureau drawer and
took from it the watches. On the bed
was a satchel. which they carried down
stairs and emptied on the table in the
dining room. taking away various trink-
cts and articles. He and the other two men
had done this ana were willing to pay
the penalty, but they did not want to see
an injustice done in the case of Lang.
who was innocent of any part of the
affair. Lang mad a wife and two children
in San Francisco. and If he was made to
suffer great wrong would be done.
Lang had had nothing to do with their
operations and knew absolutely nothing
about where they had secured the goods.
All that he had done was TO sell the
things and send them the proceeds. They
represented that they had got them cheap
here and had sent them to Mike McCaulsy
to be disposed of by. him and Lang had
sold them.
Davis followed with a statement exon-
Grating Lang and corroborating what Will
liams had said. Moss made few remarks
to the effect that what the others had said
was the truth and he. too, lent his vocs
in exoneration of Lang.
Lang, who had all the time sat by him
self, sad and detected, was asked if he
had anything to say, and replied no.
Justice Morrison then held the four
men to answer in che superior court, with
bail atRS200o each.

the men were charged with having burg
larized. H. stated that the theft had been
committed on September IS, between the
hours OF and in the evening. He had
gone away to visit a neighbor and when
he returned, after o'clock, it was to
find that the house had been entered and
q quantity of jewelry taken. Among
the thirgs stolen were lady's gold watch
and chain and locket, one filled case
watch, one silver watch. some rings,
bracelets and other trinkets. The burg
lars had gained entrance through the real
door and had got the articles out of his
wife's bed room.
A mum Der of the articles he enumerat'
ed were at this point prod uced and iden.
titled by the witness, after which he lett
the stand and Detective Gibson of Sar
Francisco took 1t.
The officer told how he had arrested
Lang in that city last Saturday. He had
gone to Langs room and found several
articles OF iewelry and two receipts fol
registered letters. Lang told the wit

Annexation NOT YET LOST
A Recount Will Be Demanded by
the Council
COMING UP NEXT MONDAY
The Canvass of the Vote Will Be
Opposed
The Friends Of Annexation Claim They We're
Given the W orst Of It-Vernon
Wants to Come In

The result of the annexation election
of last Thursday is to BIZ contested. That
fact has bsen definitely determined.
When the council meets next Monday
there will be regular formal protest
against the canvassing of the votes. The
friends of annexation will demand re-
count, which request will probably DC
complied with. The law upon the proper
course of procedure appears to be rathei
contradictory. and City Attorney Dunn,
when consulted yesterday, could give but
little information.
The votes in all of the outlying pre-
cincts are to bo recounted.
The principal complaint appears to be
in the matter of the returns at Unlver-
sity, where the greatest amount OF oppo-
sition to the proposed bigger Los Angeles
manifested itself. There are several
saloons IN the district and all of them
fought annexation with all of the power
at their command. Had tho election
gone against them. each one would have
been liable for the $50 month city
saloon license, whereas the county license
at present paid py them is $50 year.
The principal reason why recount
will be asked will be because OF the TACT
that several of the students at the univer-
sity were not, for reasons. permitted to
vote, no record being kept by the cleo
ton board OF the number Of ballots thus
thrown out.
The race track people also opposed an
nexation. For good and sufficient rea-
sors that particular section, of the coun-
ty did not care to become a part OF the
city.
L,a, eho,,ld tharo T.. M rocounf tho
people at Vernon intend at an early day
to again petition the council for a new
election to take in that district alone.
They want to become part of the city
because of the, to them, perplexing water
rights question. which would by annexa-
ton be wiped out.
The majority of the outlying territory
against annexation in the election of
Thursday was eig hteen and not seventeen,
as printed in these columns yesterday.
Rosedale cast 14S votes against annexation
instead Of 147. as was published.

They Describe In the Courtroom How They

A very dramatic scene occurred in JUS
tlce Morrison's court yesterday morning
at the examination of the four men
charged with burglary, and IN their case
was an exemplification of the old adage
that there is honor among thieves.
]. H. DAVIS, Frank Moss and Harry
williams, the men arrested at this place,
all addressed the court in behalf uf Ed
Lang, the fourth member of the gang,
and while admitting their own guilt de-
clared that Lang was entirely innocent
in the affair and that they alone were
guilty and were willing to suffer punish
ment tor their wrong-doings. They as
serted that a great injustice would be
done if Lang was convicted. and it was
for this reason that they desired to pre-
vent him from suffering innocently for
the wrong they had done.

and also hops to shield Lang, and think
BY pleading guilty they will get lighter
sentences. They even went so far as to
describe how they had ourglarized a
house and secured valuable iewelry.
The four prisoners created considerable
interest as they sat in the docket yester-
day morning. Lang to one side alone and
the others together in the front part of
the place. Lang was detected and APP
peared most miserable. but the rsst
seemed perfectly at ease and did not
man fest any concern in the proceedings
except when they were making theiI
pleas for Lang.
The1men desired to waive all prelim-
mary examination and SAID that they
wished no attorney and entered no de
tense whatever.
The first witness called for the prosecu
ton was Alphonss Rueff, whoss house

on their journey through the mountains
to that place. About thirty-hve miles
from Santa Barbara the stages change,
and when the vehicle from Santa Barbara
arrived Mr.. n. Wine, tho owner of the
stage line, was at the station. He had
received one of the circulars giving the
descriptions of the runawaya, and at on ce
identified them as the persons wanted.
They were taken in charge by an officer
and returned to Santa Barbara at once,
arriving there last evening. Sheriff Burr
was notified by telegraph OF the capture
as soon as 1t was made. which enabled
him to catch the O'Clock train.
1t is now just twenty days since Ad-
rienne disappeared from her parents les

the mistaken idea that it would facilitate
the capture of the runsways, thereby Civ
ing them lead that for time looked as
though it would be impossible to uver-
come. The officers nave. however, worked
faithfully and deserve credit for what
they have done.
DR.. Pavlides was seen by Herald re-
porter last evening at the county Jail.
where he called to verify the report of the
capture. The doctor is a man of fine
physique, bat he shows the effects of the
terrible strain to which he has been sub
iected for the past twenty days. For a
time it was feared that Mrs. Pavlide.
would lose her reason, but the doctor
said that she shows some slight improve
ment now that her agony of suspense is
over. In speaking of the case last evening
DR.. Pavlides said that he had already e1'
pended over $500 in prosecuting his
search for his child. He sent two men
north yesterday before the news of the
capture reached him, and ever since the
disappearance he has followed up every
clew that gave him the slightest hope o.
recovering his child. Rangot, he said

THE CITY'S RIGHT DENIED
Oil Men Will Not Pay the Newly
Ordained Tax
;ation-A Reasonable Time to Pay
VIII Be Given to Them

The oil operators have as body deter
mined to defy the recently enacted
amendment to the oil ordinance, which
taxes each well in the city 81 per month,
or So per quarter. Deputy City Clerk
Best started out upon a tour yesterday
for the purpose of collecting the frat in
stallment Of the tax and to arrange for
all future payments of the money. He
made thorough canvass OF the field. and
where he found the owners of the wells
he was informed without hesitation that
the tax would not be paid, that it was no
more legal than would be tax on water
melons or any other product taken out
Of the ground upon his own premises.
Best first went 60 the oil exchange fo-
the purpose of procuring the names of the
owners of wells aud OF their specific loca-
tions. There he was informed that the
exchange had the matter OF paying the
licnese under advisement as a body, and
until decision in the premises had been
arrived at, nothing would be done. When
the facts were related to City Clerk
Charles A. buckenbach, the latter d.
rscted his deputy to go into the field
and hunt up each we'll owner separately,
the city having no knowledge of the ex-
istence of any such body as the oil ex-
change. Luckenbach says the ordinance
is the law and it will be enforced the
same as any other section of the regular
license ordinances, if not by peaceful
means, then through the police courts.
As an administrative officer he has no
other option than to do his duty. A rea-
sonable ti,ce for the oil men 10 pay their
license will be given them. If they refuse
to comply with the provisions of the or
dinance, test case will be made and the
constitutionality of the law will be at
once determined. The oil men insist
that the ordinance Is class legislation oil
the rankest kind, and that they all pay
their regular taxes as they all appear
upon the city's assessment rolls.
