OIL Is QUIET AND FIRM
Probability of on Advance In Prices After
MONDAYS Meeting

mondays Meeting
Nothing of particular note has trans
pired during the last few days in the oil
market, and little is expected until after
the forthcoming meeting of oil exchange
directors on Monday next. One of the
members Of the executive committee
yesterday expressed the opinion that
the price would undoubtedly be ad-
vanced at least cents at the next meet
ing and possibly more. Now that the
Talbot has taken away good portion
of the surplus. the market has buoy
ancy that will make itself felt before
long.
Few sales are now being made at less
than IS cents at the wells, and the ma
jority of producers seem inclined to
hold on and not part with their petro-
leum, preferring to await the anticipa-
ted rise. New wells are being dug on all
hands, and many old ones being deep
ened to the second oil sand. Every wag-
on is busy hauling, and in general the
situation may be said to be satisfac-
tory.
What may prove to be new territory
for the production of petroleum is the
property of Gen. Bouton, lying in lots
Al and AZ, Ords' survey, at the mouth of
Chavez canyon. Experts have lately
been examining the locality. and say
that the indications therebouts are un-
mistakable. The water wells in the vi
cinity often develop a thick scum of
oil, which percolates through the earth
into them, and rises to the surface of
he water. Should producing wells be
developed in this place it would give
a great impetus to the entire industry
in this section.

Destitute and Dying

At 0 o'clock last evening a report was
brought to the police station that an
elderly woman named Mrs. Lindsey was
dying in room 49, No. 747A Upper Main
street. Her husband is unable to work
and the family has been supported for
some time by the Associated charities.
A kind hearted neighbor was out hunt
ing q doctor, but had been unable to
get one and came to police headquar-
ters as last resort. There he was re-
ferred to the city health officer as the
proper person to look after the case.
Mrs. Lindsey has been sick for several
months and the crisis was brought on
by being removed day before yesterday
from her old quarters to new rooms.
She has two little children to look after
who have necessarily been neglected
during their mothers illness. The case
seems sad one and deserving the at
tention of the charitable. The inform
ant left the station to go to the medical
college for physician, where, if he
failed. the health officer was to be sum-

where congressman, presidential cleo

slight prospect that all Of the delega-

WHO TOOK THE MONEY!
August Reich Claims to Have Been Robbed Of
500 In Gold

An old German named August Reich
yesterday swore to a complaint charg-
ing Charles and Maud Ellwood with the
crime of grand larceny, in that they
were said to have taken from his cloth
ing the sum of $100 gold coin. The
Ellwoods are strangers in this city and
arrived here some days ago, travelling
in a camping wagon and sleeping at
night In a tent which was pitched by
the wayside. They are Canadians, and
in this section for the purpose of buy
ing land upon which to make their
home.
For several days they have been stop
ping on a lot near Reich's place on AL
bion street, East Los Angeles, and the
latter had undertaken to show them
various pieces of property that We're
on the market. On Thursday Reich took
them to see a small ranch, and the party
returned home together. 1t being warm
Reich took off his coat and threw it
upon the wagon belonging to the Ell.
woods, finally going into his house and
leaving it there all night.
Yesterday morning he put on the gar
ment and started for the city to deposit
the gold in the bank. There had been
five 500 gold pieces sewed into the lin
ing of the garment, and it was not until
he got over in town that Reich discov-
cred his loss. He Immediately jumped
at the conclusion that the Ellwoods were
the responsible parties, and Swore to the
complaint upon which the warrant was
issued.
Officer Romans made the arrest, and
took Ellwood and his wife to police
headquarters. They were searched and
a fine pair Of diamond earrings taken
from Mrs. Ellwood, also sum Of money
which indicated that the campers were
in good financial circumstances. In the
Farmers and Merchants bank they also
have large deposit, and their general
appearance seems to bear out their
statements that they are what is repre-
sented, emigrants looking for place to
settle.
In the afternoon husband and wife
were arraigned in Justice Morrison's
court and examination on the charge
set for May 4th. They offered to give
bonds, but the justice and district at
torney thought there was such slight
foundation for the charge that they were
allowed to depart upon their own recog-
nizance. Reich Is said to be a trifle
queer in his actions, and it is claimed
by parties who know him that he seems
at times somewhat out of his mind. If
the money was taken from his coat if
was probably done during the night by
some one prowling around the camp
looking for plunder.
