both.
"Mabel, wouldn't it be jolly if we

THE ACTON SUICIDE
Took Three Bottles Of Lsudanum and Laid
Down to Die

Took Three Bottles Of Lsudanum and Laid
Down to Die
At the little town of Acton, Coroner
Campbell yesterday morning held an
inquest upon the body of John Lobecker,
Swiss. 56 years of age, who died Mon
day morning at 11:30 o'clock from the
effects of dose of laudanum, taken with
suicidal intent. Lobecker was car
penter, but had lately been out Of work
and was much depleted in finances. He
had been in Acton about year and had
no relatives as far as known.
On Monday morning he procured three
two-ounce Walls of laudanum from the
local drug store, and going off down by
the railroad depot took the stuff and laid
down on the ground to die. He was
found shortly afterward, but medical
attendance availed nothing, as he ex-
pired as stated within a short time. lie
left no statement or writing that could
be found and the only reason advanced
for the deed is dependency and poverty.
The verdict of the jury was laudanum
poisoning, taken with suicidal intent
The body was inferred at the expense
of the county, as deceased was entirely
without means.

CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT
Differences Arising Over a Horse Trade caus
nan'S Arrest


nan's Arrest
On warrant alleging embezzlement,
Officer Robbins, at $50 last evening ar
rested w. p. Fitch, at a coal and wood
yard at 407 Also street, and locked him
up in jail to await arraignment in court
on the complaint.
Fitch is a horse dealer and was in
carcerated on complaint of George NJ.
Pruden, a townsman of his with whom
he has had business dealings. Both men
are residents of Acton and Fitch al
leges that about a month ago he pur-
chased from Pruden thyae horses, CIV
ing in payment therefor a sixty-day
lease note for $100. He shipped two of
the animals to this city but left the
third with Pruden to be sent for.
Later on, Fitch says he sent for the
third horse but Pruden refused to give
1t up or ship it down to Los Angeles to
its owner. Finally Pruden himself came
down and in his presence and with his
consent Fitch sold one of the two ami
mails he had bought. Then Pruden de-
manded that the note for $100 be paid
This was refused by Fitch until he Sc
cured possession of the third horse
Then, he claims, Pruden asserted that
he had no right to sell the first animal
and unless he paid up would cause his
arrest. They parted in anger and it is
due to this misunderstanding that Fitch
attributes his being placed in custody.

OIL MEN ANXIOUS
formulating Plans for Protecting Themselves
and Sustaining Prices

In the rooms of the oil exchange in the
Bradbury block meeting of petroleum
producers was held yesterday afternoon,
at Which plans for cooperation in the
Iuture handling of the oil output were
discussed. About twenty-five oil men
responded to the call of the committee.
representing perhaps one-half the well
owners in the field. After full discussion
OF the subject it was finally decided that
the exigencies of the situation demanded
1ull cooperation and Capitalization of
the selling power into a few hands. The
OIL exchange is about to abrogate any
power OF handling oil for it's members
ana hence, unless something was done
IL would be every man for himself and
price cutting would speedily ensue, with
consequent decentralization of the mar
ket
The firm of Turner Bros. presented
FORM of contract for signatures which
provides that they will agree to take all
the oil produced by any party at the
rate OF 81 per barrel at the wells: that
IL the L. o. b. rate shall at any time ex-
ceed 81 in this city they will pay 81 at
the wells and the excess there may be
over and above the $1.25 per barrel. On
the contrary if the f. O. b. price of oil
falls below ST. 10 then the Turner's reserve
the right to terminate the contracts and
refuse to receive OIL These contracts
oiS " III THREE IIlOHtHS ana cash set
Elements shall be made three times a
month
A majority of the producers present
either signed or agreed to sign such
contracts, thus taking the first step to-
ward the transference of the individ-
uars power of selling to a close Gral
agency. as clause in the contracts
prevents signers from disposing of any
oil except to the Turner Bros. The ex-
change has received only luke-warm
support from a number of producers,
who refused to join and took advantage
of the advanced rates only to just under
sci the exchange. thus getting rid Of
their oil and pocketing the profit at the
expense of members who had turned in
their oil, the sale of which was refused
except at full market quotations.
Since the knowledge that the exchange
is to reorganize it's methods, cease SELL
ing and resolve itself into an open board,
some of these men have been made to see
the folly of their course and are now in
fear that the market may take sudden
slump 1t is to stiffen prices and OBJ
viate any downward tendency that the
new plan is being formulated
