From the Chronicle, Chicago, III.

Five years ago last winter, there was con-
siderable commotion on the banks of the
White River, Wisconsin, as a young man
named L. n. HallecI, had broken through
the ice, and was for some moments lost to
view. 1t was not long, however, before Mr..

means. was hshed from the fluid and restored

the young gentleman contracted heavy

plicatcd with disease of kidney and urinary

THE NEW OIL STRIKE
OIL ON ST. LOUIS STREET NEAR
BROOKLYN AVENUE
Drillers Find and Abandon It, Appar.
emily Disgusted-They Secure
Adjoining Lands

OIL has been struck on st. Louis street
near Brooklyn avenue on tract owned
by Orr Burr, the contractor.
Last September Scott & LOTUS bored
a well there and were bothered with
water in it. Casing off the water, they
went down $50 feet and struck oil sand.
Taking up their tools and drilling plant,
they moved off. apparently disgusted
with their i'll luck. They said they were
bothered by water there. They then
drilled another we'll about 1000 feet from
the first one and stopped just as they
reached the oil sand, so that the second
well showed no more oil than the first
which had all this time been plugged up
tight, and, according to several oil men
who visited 1t, had been carefully
cleaned of every mark of oil about 1t.
Scott d LOTUS secured thirty-five
acres of land around there and then re-
opened their wells and ordered storage
tank. A hundred barrels of oil pumped
from one of their wells and run into II
slump hole appears to be about II gray
ity. The amount of oil to be expected
from that quarter, however, is as yet an
entirely unknown quantity.
If it be large it may affect the price of
oil, as did the prolific flow of the east
field and make it difficult for the Pro-
ducers' combination to keep up the price
to the dollar rate. Secretary Strasburg
has a different view of the effect of a
large flow, however, and argues that it
would improve the market by inspiring
large consumers with fuller confidence
in the supply and induce them to ex
tend their consumption. San Francisco
would, perhaps, order more freely for
future delivery and such a consumer as
the Santa Fe, for example, might equip
TO extend the use of our oil on their line.
The meeting of the Producers yester
day was largely attended, as leisure was
plentiful on account of the shutdown
which has been strictly observed.
Some two hours was spent in general
discussion of the situation and listening
to suggestions from various members,
but no business of Importance was
transacted. The length of time the pres
ent shutdown order will be enforced
is not definitely known, but it was is
sued to remain in force until otherwise
ordered by the trustees. The trustees
were emphatically indorsed at yester-
days meeting and it is generally be-
lieved they will rescind the shutdown
order about December 1st.

NINE. MoUNTFORD'S LECTURE
Life of Christ-Same Series Repeated
Next Week

Nine. Mountford gave the fifth and
last lecture Of her series last evening in
Simpson tabernacle, with the Life of
Christ" for her subject. The setting
this time had scene from Bethlehem in
the background, the manger filled with
straw and various other artistic acces-
sories were distributed about the stage,
and the costumed attendants again rep
resented types of Oriental characters.
In introducing her subject Nine.
Mountford referred to the custom which
still prevails of using the stables in Beth
ehem as an overflow at times when the
inns are full; of the taxation season,
which falls about Christmas time, when
from all the country round people flock
to the city in gala dress to the tax
gathering.
Thus was the presnce of Joseph and
Mary and the infant Christ in Bethlehem
and in the stable and manger explained
by the speaker; that and many other in
teresting incidents in the life Of Christ,
as the alteration of the wise men, the
flight into Egypt, return to Nazareth,
Christ in Jerusalem, the Jordan, meet
ing with John, the baptism, marriage at
Cana, why there was no wine, why Mary
annointed Christ's feet, triumphal entry
into Jerusalem, the den of thieves, Eas-
ter, the last supper, Gethsemane, before
PLATE, Calvary, the thief on the cross,
the usurped nobleman, the burial, Christ
in His kingdom.
In response to general request, Nine.

lures next week at the same place. Mon

Chief Glass is spending few days o.

Yesterday it became necessary to COM
municate with him regarding certain
police business. There is no telephone
or telegraphic service between here and
Gardena, so Detective Auble, according
to previous arrangement. drove iown
to see the chief. His departure, coupled
with the fact that the sleuth's destina-
ton and the chiefs whereabouts were
unknown, gave rise to mythical story
that the head of the police department
had located the negro who brutally as
saulted Mrs. Belle Holly at Manhattan
Junction three weeks ago and wanted
Auble to come and help him bring the
rapist back to the city jail The report
spread rapidly and an evening paper

TWO RAILROAD FATALITIES
Inquest Over a Child and an Old MAJ
Who Met Violent Deaths

Coroner Campbell held an inquest
Thursday night at Compton over the re
mains OF the 4-year-old son of II. Krein
killed by Southern Pacific train. The
testimony showed that the engineer was
in no way to blame for che accident. He
gave the usual signals for the crossing,
but Krein drove right in front of the
train. The farmer is blind in one eye and
very deaf. 1t is supposed that he did
not hear or see the train until it was too
late. At last accounts Krein was still
alive. but his recovery is considered i'm
possible.
Yesterday afternoon an inquest was
held at Orr & Hines undertaking par
lors over the remains of Odell Gibbons
the old man killed by Santa Monica car

conductor were exonerated from blame
for the accident. Nothing is known O.

Murder on the Increase in New York
State Statistics Prove This

The superintendent of state prisons has
compiled statistics showing that the num-
Der of executions in the state of New York
has greatly increased since the electrocu-
tion law took effect in $780, Since that
time 40 executions have taken place, while
from the creation of the state until 1890
there were but 23O hangings. This is an
increase of more than 200 per cent in a
year. Per contra, however, since the dis
covery of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
there has been an immense decrease in the
number of dyspeptics whose stomachs
have been set right and made to act like
clockwork by that useful remedy. 1t pro-

Hearing Of G. L. Wilde for Alleged
Check Raising

The preliminary hearing Of the case
of the people VS.. Charles L. Wilde was

before Justice Rossiter of Pasadena.
Wilde is accused Of raising a check OF
the American Fraternal league from
$1.25 to $S1.25. and wording it to read ''for
petty cash and April salary"
The first witness called was Capt. r.
j. Cressy, who testified to the above
facts. Mayor Snyder, as national aud
itor of the league, testified to auditing
a check of that date and that the words
April salary were not then on the pa
per.
Warren Gillelen, cashier of the Broad
way bank. testified to having paid the
check as it Is now, $S1.25.
A. w. Seaver was the last witness,
called, and after examining numerous
instruments said that just slight diff
ference in an 80" and the slant of fig
ure show that they might have been
written at different times. The testi-
mony was interspersed with the objec-
tions and arguments of the attorneys
until the hour for adjournment. The
case is continued until this morning at
$3.50.
Wilde claims that the company owes

Snyder seems determined to redeem his
ante election pledges 10 all he could to
smeIiorate the hard lot OF the poor and
needy of the city. He sent a message to
the City Council yesterday, which, in part,
was as follows:
The question of providing work for the uu-
emplo. ed of the city is becoming q serious
one. 1t is a question that appeals to the hearts
of all and which should, in my opinion
receive early and serious confederation at
your hands. While the percentage of unem-
ployed in Los Angeles is very small, as COM
pared with other coast and Eastern cities, yet
there Is destitutfon enough 10 make 1t abso-
lutely necessary that we act in this matter and
as early as possible.
see no reason why the streets in the busi-
ness portion of the city should not be swept by
hand, thus giving employment to larger
number OF men than are now in the street
sweeping service The cost of the work would
probably be not much more than under the
present system. The streets OF many OF the
large Eastern cities are swept by hand. This
system has been found 10 be economical and
very satisfactory, and. besides, gives employ
your hoqprable body will takes steps at once
in this matter of street sweeping. and tina: you
will see to It that only married men, deserv-
ing and industrious, are employed.
The voting OF bonds for improving our park
system is a question which presents itself
most seriously to us at this time when so many
are seeking employment If bonds were voted
fronting US would be solved to a considerable
extent.
