ROBBED A SLEEPING "COP"
Tho Last and "r1ost Unkindest" Act @
Recent BurgIaries

Police Secretary Ray Cottle wore a
panied expression of countenance yes
terday and was busy a good portion of
his time in receiving the commisera-
tions of his friends upon the loss he had
sustained the previous night, when the
festive burglar got in his fine work and
entering Cottle's room, got away with
every cent of coin the affable secretary
possessed.
Being a strict follower of the old adj
age: Early to bed and early to rise. -
Mr. Cottle retired Monday evening at
IL o'clock, throwing his clothing over a
chair near the head of his bed On a ia
Die close by he laid his gold watch and
trusty revolver, then dropped off TO
sleep and pleasant dreams. His apart
ment is on the fourth floor of the Hotel
Catalina on South Broadway, and the
enterprising burglar who had it in
mind to work the house first started at
Cottle's room in the sky parlor to work
downward
Inc apartment was entered by using
nippers to turn the key in the lock from
the outside, and the thief evidently
worked in a hurry, as, although he
cleaned out the trousers of every cent.
between $12 and $13 in all, he failed to
take the watch or revolver which lay
on the table, or a diamond stud from the
shirt bosom of the sleeping cop" which
shirt hung on the back of the chair.
Then the thief tried the door of room
directly opposite Cottle's, occupied by a
lady, who heard the intruder ringing
her alarm bell and crying out for help.
Cottle awoke at this, but, thinking that
nothing important was the matter, the
policeman the secretary, slept on, bliss
fully unconscious Of the fact that he
himself had been touched for all he
had. Another lady on lower floor hear
the soft footballs of the robber as he
made his escape, but Cottle slept on un-
til broad daylight, when he discovered
his loss and had to borrow money to get
his breakfast on.

Subscribed and sworn to before me
this 18th day of August, 1896
(Seal) G. G. JOHNSON.
Notary Public in and for the county Of
Los Angeles, state of California.
The robbery of the clothing store, of
which Gevurtz was suspected and for
which he was locked up, took place on
Thursday night, July 30th, lot of plum
der being secured, besides the box of
money, which contained between $500
and $3.50. The night watchman at about
o'clock discovered that the door was
unlocked and at once notified the police
man on the beat. They entered, but find
ing no one in the place locked it us and
went away. The next morning the loss
was discovered
1t was not long until the detectives had
located the perpetrators of the deed, as
they thought, and a t least two men were
landed in Jail ION suspicion" being kept
there sequestrated until an opportunity
was had to look up evidence against
them. What the sum of evidence against
Gevurtz amounted to may be judged
when the case was dismissed without an
attempt at hearing or the offering of a
word of testimony by the prosecution.
When 1t was sought to obtain informa-
ton in regard to Gevurtz yesterday,
while freely admitting that they had
had the man locked up and had been
obliged to let him go, the detectives re-
fused absolutely to say anything about
the case. At late hour last evening
Detective Hawley was asked to make
some kind of al alstatement about the af-
fair, but replied that at present he pre-
ferred to say nothing about the matter.
There is at present in the jail a man
who is called Tom James, against whom
there has been complaint filed for re-
ceiving and having in his possession
stolen goods, knowing the same to be
stolen. When James was captured in
an East Second street lodging house the
detectives recovered a quantity of the
plunder stolen from the Chicago cloth
ing house. embracing four suits of
clothes, five extra pairs of trousers,
forty of fifty silk neckties and scarfs,
handkerchiefs underwear, socks, etc
1t was at first intended to charge James
with the burglary but the necessary
proof could not be obtained and the
officers had reason to think that he was
merely an accessory and received the
stuff from the real thief. A complaint
for the lesser crime has accordingly
been sworn to and James will be ar
raigned in court at 80 this afternoon
Whether or not James is the Paul re-
ferred to in the affidavit is not known
but will probably develop today.

OIL MEN TO MEET
Affairs Of the Exchange to Be Wound Up and
ReorQanized


An important meeting of the oil men of
this city will be held on the 10Th of this
month at the corner of Temple and Met
calf streets at p m. 1t will be the an
nuas meeting.,f the members and stock
holders of the exchange and steps are to
be taken to reha bilitate that organiza
ton and put it on a firm basis. AS SELL
ing factor the exchange has practically
ceased to exist but large number of
oil dealers expect to effect an organiZa-
ton which will result in their standing to-
gether. The chief difficulty experienced
by the old exchange and a leading cause
for its dissolution was the inability to
hold the members to agreements They
could easily undersell the exchange quo
tations and in many instances did so.
1t is now proposed to prevent any possi-
bic repetition of such action Every men,
Der will be required to deposit forfeit
which shall go to the exchange should he
disregard the rules. Many are in favor
of such a measure, but there is said to
be some opposition.
Another subject to be discussed will
be the price to be maintained on OIL
This will be the first annual meeting
since the recent unexpected deficiency
in the oil product here and the proba BILE
output together with the amount stored
that Will be turned over to the exchange
have to be considered. 1t is probable
though that the price will be fixed at
