AND THE JURY DISAGREED
The Doubtful Likelihood of Getting a
New POst0ffice
'esaiena National Bank Election-A Fancy
Dress Surprise Partv-Notes and
Personals

PASADENA, Jan. l4.-The Augustus
Lang case, which has been so often post
poned, finally came to trial this afternoon,
the proceedings beginning at 80, when
the selecting of a jury to try the case was
begun. About an hour and a half was con-
>sumed in asking questions, the challenges
being directed in regard to the opinions of
citizens as to the desirability and propriety
of ordinance 22O; also as to their views
on the liquor question, their church con-
nections, etc., etc. OF course there were
the usual tilts between the attorneys, City
Attorney Arthur representing the city in
the prosecution and A. r. Metcalfe repre-
senting the defense.
Finally the following jury was secured :
j. R. Greer, jr., w. Godber, Harry Black,
AL Heiss, A. f. Church, A. r. Pierce. L. G.
Torrance, j. W. Camper, S. Leach, Allen,
Shaw and Snyder.
The court room was crowded througho ut
the trial, as the case has attracted much
attention ever since the first attempts of
the enforcement committee to bring Mr..
Lang to trial, about three months ago.
Among the spectators were eight or ten
members of the w. c. T. o., besides men,
bers of the various church organizations.
Miss Lou V. Wildon, the first witness,
testified that she had bought whisky at Mr..
Lana's store, and of him in person, a
number of times without a prescription,
the last time being the l 1th of November.
1895, when she got a bottle Of whisky,
without a prescription and without stating
for what purpose it was intended. She
testified that the purpose for which she
wanted the whisky was to gargle her
throat. She noticed after she hail gotten
it that it was written upon the label "for
mechanical purposes" but she had not
told the clerk that it was for that purpose
or for any other.
Ed Hobson. the next witness, testified
that he bought beer at Mr.. Lang's store on
more than one occasion without pre-
scription, the last time being the 18th of
September, when Geo. H. Carpenter was
with him. On another occasion he was
alone. Asked by whom he was hired, he
said by the enforcement committee, get
$3.50 per day for his services.
George FL. Carpenter, the naxt witness,
testified that he had bought bottle of beer
on the 18th and another on the 18th of
September from Mr.. Lang himself, on the
18th Hobson was with him and each
bought bottle of beer. He was in the
same employ as Hobson, and was doing it
to see whether Lang was violating the Or
dinance. On September 9TH there were
other boys who helped them to drink the
beer.
A. I. Cannon was the next witness. He
testified that on the 9th of September he
bought blackberry brandy at Mr.. Lang's
without prescription. On cross-exami-

dro are completed then oil can be laid
down in San francisco for AK cents. A.
it is now it costs 591S cents.
1t is conceded that unless the oil men do
something at once the enterprise that they
have undertaken will be in jeopardy. The
large amount of money invested in the oil
district precludes the possibility of it being
given up.
The idea Is to get all of the producers, a.
near as possible to agree to send their
product north by water. 1t is thought that
if enough of the producers come in the rate
can be placed AZ low as 20 cents q barrel.
If something is not done soon to send the
price up little it has been suggested that
as temporary measure the wells be shut
down. This it is thought would have the
effect of bringing the producers around.
