DIDN'T STRIKE OIL
Lessee That Plays Dog In the Manger With
OIL Lands


OIL Lands
It appears that in August, of last year,
one A. W. Mcmillan thought he had the
world by the tail when he got lease
of certain lands belonging to ]. F. Hum
phreys and Fannie c. Humphreys, his
wife. The lands are part of the Hum
phreys addition to Boyle Heights, and,
as Mcmillan thought, showed indica-
tions of being gas and oil bearing lands
By the terms of the lease which was
drawn up between the contracting par
ties Mcmillan was to hold the lands
for ten years, and he bound himself to
notifysof drilling his first well within
sixty days and within four months have
IN active operation the work Of pene-
trating the earths crust in his search
for gas, oil or other mineral products.
He was, furthermore, to proceed in good
faith until a producing we'll should be
obtained, he agreeing to furnish the nee
essary machinery. tools, engines, ETC.,
and pay all the expenses.
The lease was recorded and Mcmillan n
took possession on August /, 1895, and
still holds the fort against all corners.
But. meantime, he has knocked big
chuncks out of that lease. He did give
the sixty days notification of his inten-
tion to drill at a certain spot, and that
Is about all. He dug a hole in the
ground about three feet square and then
rested from his labors AS it appears
he will neither dig himself or let any
body else did. The lessees wanted him
to quit claim back all right and title to
the land and cry even, but he knew
when he had a good thing and refused.
Now. suit has been brought to cancel
damages, $3.50 attorneys fees and costs

solvent case-Notes

While the annexation Of suburban dis
tricts by the city results benef5cially
for all concerned, 1t is none the less true
that the operation Is attended with more
or less Of difficulty, from legal stand
point.
The recent annexation OF the large
portion of the Rosedale district by the
city has developed such a difficulty and
test case is to be taken into court
for the purpose of deciding how the
money in the Rosedale road fund is to
be disbursed. This suit has been insti-
tuted by the city Of Los Angeles against
County Auditor Charles F. Bicknell.
In the complaint filed 1t is recited that
the board of supervisors, for the fiscal
year Of 1866 levied a property tax for
road purposes, Of 80 cents on the $100.
Nearly all of this has been collected,
and 20 per cent has been paid into the
Rosedale road fund and 30 per cent into
the general fund, to the credit of Rose
dale.
There was also collected special road
poll tax amounting to $515.55, and this
also was paid into the Rosedale road
fund. The balance on hand from these
sources is $3416.32. and the amount on
hand in the general road fund, to the
credit of Rosedale, is $1486.57, making
in all $49O2.s9.
On April 2, 1896, nearly all Of the terri
tory of Rosedale was annexed and be-
came part Of the city and the board of
supervisors lost control. The streets and
roads are in need of repair; but the city
has no fund for such purpose and the
Rosedale road fund was collected for
that specific purpose and the monies can
be applied to none other.
The total value of the property lying
within the annexed portion of the dis
trict, as shown by the assessment roll,
is $13, ,74S.20, and the total valuation Of
that portion unannexed $340, ,665, and the
proportional share, therefore, of the
funds of the Rosedale road district Is
In the ratio Of $1S 74S.2O to $3406.65, max
! in the sum $392S.00
1t Is claimed that the residents, citi-
zens and taxpayers are anxious that the
city take possession of this sum and ex-
pend the same for the purpose for which
the fund was collected.

dated with his In this case, have very
unsavory regulations, and Spif.nan has
naturally suffered in consequence, At
the time the complaint was filed Warren
took objection to being denOminated a

he was at Redondo quietly attending
to his legitimate business. Inasmuch
as he got into trouble the other day
for dealing a crap game in saloon, it
would be interesting to know bounds

The defendant Nichols. who claimed
he was buncoed out of $500, has, 1t IL
said, tried his best to recover his money

mans attorney, however, refused to
consider any such proposition for mo-

after taking the first block Of stock In
the Spilman Water company for $500,
interviewed many prominent citizens
about the matter. and then entered into
a contract to take $4,000 more stock, aud
put up his note for that amount. The
contract and note will both be in evil

A CURIOUS CASE
A Family Of Exce'isnt Reputatlsa Pals Prsm

A Family Of Excellent Reputatlsa ralls Frsm
Oracs
A most extraordinary case developed
yesterday in the Office of the district at
torney when Assistant District Attor-
new Williams drew a complaint against
Marcelus Morris and John Manley,
wherein they are charged with the
crime, Of petit larceny.
The Manly family is one Of the highest
respectability. and the father and sons
possessing culture above, rather than
below, the average. This will, perhaps,
be better understood when it is stated
that when Ex-President Harrison mad.
his western trip the Manlys were liv-
ing In Orange county, and the father
was the one who made the address of
welcome to the ex-president when he
passed through Santa Ana.
BE all that as 1t may, Mr.. Manly has
been running a livery stable in this city
and recently sold out to ]. J. Cockrane.
When stock was taken ten buggies were
entered. 1t being understood that one
making eleven in all-should be, re-
served as family vehicle by the seller.
Mr.. Cockrane discovered later that
albeit thre were ten buggies entered
on his stock list the bill Of sale showed
only nine. Stranger still, there were
only nine in the barn. 1t was found
that the Manlys had taken 1t and they
were forced to return it. A few weeks
later another buggy disappeared from
the barn and again 1t was traced into the
possession of the Manlys at Long Beach.
The latter contended that this particu-
lar buggy was the one received as q
family vehicle. but workmen who have
repaired both vehicles contend that the
buggies are by no means Identical.
That is the way the matter stands at
present. 1t seems extraordinary that a
family of such excellent reputation
should fall SO far from grace and yet,
on the other hand, there are numerous
witnesses ready to swear positively
that the buggy found at Long Beach is
not the Sone reserved at the time of the
sale

THE TlLLMAN FORGERIES
Second Charge Of Forging Q Check for SIS
on the Anglo Cslifornla Bank

on the An2io-c.lifornia Bank
Another complaint was drawn yester-
day, by Deputy District Attorney Willis,
against Frank Tillman, who was pre-
viously charged with having passed a
forged check on the Cass & Smurr Stove
Co. In that case the check was on the
Bank of California and Tillman received
81, the difference between the amount
of the price of refrigerator and $50, the
face value of the check.
In the present case a check for $55
was proffered the Cass & Smurr Stove
Co. in payment for stove and it was
made out as follows:
Clearing House No. IA.

tied, pay to Cass & Smurr Stove Co. or

The stove, like the refrigerator, was
ordered to be sent to Mr.. Wilkinson's
place at Livermore, but the forgeries
were detected before the shipment was
made. AS it was, Tillman made, only
81 on the first check and received moth
ing at all on the second.
Mr.. Wilkinson, whose name was
forged, is now in the city and things
look gloomy for the defendent.

Mrs. Bentley on the Trail Of Dr.. Allen Again
and Is Arrested


Some time ago a DR.. Allen got into
trouble at Calabasas, being accused by
Mrs. A. Il. Bentley of having caused
her permanent injury at the time of her
confinement by reason of his lack of
knowledge. She had Allen arrested for
practising as physician, without a Ii
cense and that case is still pending in
the courts.
But Mrs. Bentley, with the co-opera-
ton of her husband, did more. In null
titude OF ways she made life misery to
DR.. Allen and his family until he de-
termined to leave CalabasaS and come
to Los Angeles. Last Sunday DIR. and
Mrs. Allen were about to take the train
for the city. Mr.. and Mrs. Bentley were
on hand to give them send-off. The
former held the doctor up with pistol
while his wife made an attack With an
