EVENTS At Los ANGELES,
Action to Determine the Kid
Thompson Reward on
Trial.
Convict Mayne Goes to San Diego to
Testify-Oil Transportation
Company.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. 19.-The case
OF Wells-Fargo Company and the South
ern Pacific Railway Company VS.. W. w.
More. ct al. is on trial in the Superior
Court, Department 4. The action is to de-
termne who is entitled to reward jointly
offered by the plaintiffs for the arrest and
conviction OF KID Thompson, the man who
held up the train at Roscoe. The reward
amounts to $1,000. 1t is claimed by three
sets of persons, all of which are in court,
and who have been brought in by the
plaintiffs o writs of interyenor. Edward
Beecher claims that he first accused
Thorn pson of being the man who was
guilty of the crime. He trailed him over
the country and produced other evidence
to support his theory. This led to the sus-
picion of Thompson.
W. W. More, J. E. Crabtree, E. NJ. Wat
kins and f. G. Keith all claim the reward
together upon the score of their having
made the physical capture of Thompson.
J. W. Kemp, assignee of A. B. Lawson, and
Mrs. Lawson, executrix OF his estate, +. z.
Kennett, Charles A. Eizler and l.. d.
Rodgers claim the reward on the score of
having furnished the testimony upon
which Thompson was convicted. 1t was
Lawson ct al. who secured the confession
from Johnson, who was convicted of par
ticipating in the robbery. Johnson lmpli-
Gated Thompson and told how it was done.
Judge Van Dyke this morning stated the
proposition that unless the efforts ex-
pended in the conviction were brought
nome to the persons who made the arrest
and accepted them the former had no
right to share in the reward.

.SUMMERLAND OIL STRIKE
First Flowing Well in That
Region Proves Valuable
Property.
Fuel for the New Power.HouSe of the
Electric.Cars and Pumping
Other Wells.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Dec. 49,
Summerland has made big stride for
ward. A flowing well, the first, in the re-
gion, has been struck by Solomon Kaiser
of the well-known Kaiser Brothers of
Santa Maria, who came on the ground only
a few weeks since to sink fifty wells on
lots purchased by the company which he
represents. At depth of 2l2 feet the drill
pierced the bituminous shale and oil
poured out of the 4-inch pipe at height
of two feet above the ground. This is the
first flowing well in Summerland.
1t has been the custom TO sink from 100
to 200 feet below the surface and raise
the oil to the surface by engine
power. The new well in which such i'm
portant results have been achieved is stu
ated on the bluff near the railroad, in the
direction of Ortega station. 1t is in the
near vicinity of many pumped wells. 1t
is probable that this discovery will lead
prospectors in that direction, and that the
ground around Ortega will soon be covered
with derricks. Meantime Su ummerland is
going fast ahead.
The wise stroke of policy which secured
to the little village the location of the
power-house for the new electric road,
which is to connect Santa Barbara with
Carpenteria, is bound to become consid-
erable factor in the districts advancement.
The engine-house is now built and the ma
chinery will soon be up. The fuel will be
Summerland oil and large portion of the
electric power generated will be applied
toward pumping the wells owned by the
electric road company, as well as others
throughout the oil field.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Dec. 19.-Charles Don.

some time, hastily departed for parts un-
known short time ago, and an expert
from San Francisco is going over his books
for the purpose of Strengthening them out
and to ascertain the amount of his EN- bez-

stealings will amount to several hun
dred dollars. Some of the books are
missing. A page OF one of the books was
found in DonnelIy's room on which there
was an error amounting to $100. Thus
far no clew to the missing books or to
Donnelly's whereabouts has been dis
covered
Donnelly, was apparently stead y,
economical sort of young fellow, and the
suspicion thrown upon him is great sur
prise to his many friends. One peculiar
feature of the affair is that he borrowed 81
from friend on November 26, the day
he left the city. A letter was received from
Donnelly yesterday by one of his former
employers. The communication was first
sent to some one in this city who remailed
it. The name of the city in which it was
written does not appear. In this letter
Donnelly calls his former employer his
friend and benefactor, and scorns the idea
that he would descend so low as to rob him
OF money intrusted to his care. He refers
to various sums unaccounted for, but
swears that he is not guilty of appro-
priating the money. He gives no reason
for his hasty fight from the city.

MINT ASSAYS At CARSON,
Difference in Value Shown by
Prosecution and Defense in
Heney's Trial.
The Government Attorneys Claim That
the Sewer Assays Were
Sailed.

CARSON, NEv. Dec. 19-The principal
testimony of importance in the Heney case
to-day was the introduction of the assays,
made by the Government, of material
taken from the Mint sewer and from
the field into which the sewer emptied.
The defense had offered in evidence
assays as high as S52, and most of the
lots averaged as high as $50. Twelve
Government samples, taken in the pres
ence of the defense from the same ground,
ran from absolutely nothing to S. 81. The
three assays that showed metal averaged
So 38; five assays showed trace and the
rest showed nothing. The average of the
lot was less than 81 ton.
George Mclaughlin, an expert who had
worked in the Mint since 1877, swore that
the bogus bars were made before the
others. The prosecution claims that the
resul t of the Government ASSAYS of the
sewer refuse show that the assays of the
defense were salted, averring that they
were on the back stoop of one of the
attorneys for the defense over night in
open cans and the opportunity for sailing
them was ample.
Paris Ellis swore that the material in the
Mint tank in 1895 assayed about or 5
cents in April and about November ia,
1885, was about 6 cents and the lower tank
about cents. He had assayed the lead
pipe and it went 72 cents to the ton. In

Students Leaving for Professor
Hussey Goes to Lick Observatory
CT

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Dec.
19.-Students are already beginning to
leave for home and tomorrow there will
be a general exodus, as the holiday vaca-
ton begins at that time. Owing to the
low rates north there will be an unusual
number of students leaving for Oregon
and Washington within the coming three
days.
On Saturday next Professor William ].
Hussey will leave the university to as
sume the position of astronomer at Lick
Observatory. Professor Hussey took two
degrees in the University of Michigan in
1S89-those of B. S. and G. E. In the
same year he was engaged in the Nautical
Almanac office, Washington. D. G. In
1890 and 1891 he was instructor of mathe
mates in the University of Michigan, and
in the following year became instructor of
astronomy and acting director of the OBJ
seryatory of that university. In securing
his services as professor OF astronomy
Stanford University was most fortunate.
Professor Hussey is popular instructor
and in the department in which he is in
terested, he has done some very valu-
able and noteworthy work. His photo
graphic work of the heavenly bodies
IS said to be the best that has ever
been done, and he has received the ex-
pressed approval of the leading astrono-
mers of the day.

We are continually though uncon-

brightest and fullest of promise They are
taken away by the disease which causes
over one sixth of all the deaths in the
world-the disease which doctors call con-
sumption. Consumption has been consid-
cred incurable, and the medical profession
has never made greater mistake than this.
There is absolutely no reason in the world
why consumption should be fatal why it
should be even serious. 1t is disease of
the blood, and can be cured absolutely and
always by purifying and enriching the
blood. The only exception to this is the
case where the disease has been neglected
and improperly treated until it is stronger
than the body-until the body has become
SO weak as to have lost the ability to recu-
perate. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery will cure 90 per cent. of all cases of
consumption if used according to direc-
tions. It also cures all lingering coughs,
bronchial and throat affections. There
is no reason why the child of consump-
tive parents need ever have consurnp-
ton if its blood and lungs are strength
ened by the proper use of the "Discov-
cry" All who have any reason to fear
consumption, should read the chapters on

Il TWIN BROTHER.
Another Claimant to the Estate of Mrs.
DR.. Meade.

An0ther Claimant to the Estate of Mrs.
DIR. Meade.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Dec. 19.-Another heir
to the estate of DR.. E. s. Meade, the we'll
known lady physician of this city, who
died few weeks ago, has made himself
known. Justice Dwyer yesterday received
a letter from Udolph Sherman of Girard,
Mich, who Claims to be a twin brother of
Mrs. Meade. At the time of Mrs. Meade s
death it was not known that she had any
relatives living except a brother, Porter
SheUlan, banker of Kansas City. No
letters or matter of any kind was found to
show that other relatives were in exist
ence. A few weeks after her death Be-a
]. Kingston arrived with the power of at
torney signed by Mrs. Patience Sherman,
Mrs. Meade's mother. This simplified
matters, as the mother was the sole legatee
under the laws of this State.
While the letter received from Udolph
Sherman does not complicate the settle
ment of the estate in any manner, it
arouses interest in the case, as it shows
that Mrs. Meade had several brothers and
sisters still living in the East, the previous
existence of whom was unknown to any of
the many San Jose friends of the deceased:
In the event of the death of Mrs. Patience
Sherman, who is now said to be 80 years of
age, there would be several contestants for
share of the Meade estate.
Public Administrator J. X. Secord ap-
piled for letters of administration on No
vember 4, three days after the death of DR..
Meade. He was appointed administrator
by the Superior Court on November 15.
The estate is worth about $40 900.
