it has developed that the latter
firm has bought the land and have


itively given out that at the present
time they are negotiating with the
same firm for the balance of their
oil property in Stringtown, Tyler
county, consisting of two good
wells and several hundred acres OF
leased land. The South Penn peo-
pie have been making daily gauges
of these wells for week.
The above, however, will not Gre
ate any large amount of surprise
among the independents, notwith-
standing the fact that two of the
firm refused to sell and are still
holding on to their stuff.
The roads throughout the county
are almost impossible and for this
reason it may be safely predicted
that a stagpation in operations is
likely to take place soon to remain
unbroken until late in the spring.
The South Penn company raised
the price of teaming from 81. so to
$4.75 a day the first of the week,
but rumOr has it that a correspond
ing and proportionate cut is to take
place in the wages of their EN-
ployes.
The talk of the Salem and Sis
tersville railroad has assumed the
tone of conviction and farmers ii
the region through which the pro
iected line will run are delighted
with the idea of the cars running
through their farms. On the
strength of this road being com.
pleted, it is known that several syn
dicates are quietly picking up Goa
leases along the survey. This state
is rich in coal, to say nothing Of
other products, and a road of this
kind can not but mean the devel
ment of a coal trade that swill sur
pass the ideas of the most magma,
tive prospector.
From Fridays Daily
The various oil companies opera
ting in this field are now busy re-
organizing and preparing for a re,
vival of the work as early in the
spring as the roads become pass
able.
| The Henry & Mcdonald compa.
ny, also the Hill Oil company have
held their annual elections of Off
GERS and yesterday the Elk Fork
Oil and Gas company were in ses-
sion for the same purpose. The re-
suit of the election was as follows:
President, Robert Mccormick; vice
president, L. A. Brenneman; secre-
tary, H. w. Mccoy; treasurer, L,
A. Brenneman. The board of di-
rectors are Robert Mccormick, L.
A. Brenneman, Thos. Chestnut, H.
w. Mccoy and Foster Mitchell.
The operations of this company
now in progress, are confined to the
!. K. Hill 40 acre lease. They are
busy with a tedious fishing job at
their Hill No. 10. 1t is just past
the 900 foot mark. The same
company's Hill No. II is drilling at
1850 feet. The 81 casing has been
placed in both wells.
Henry & Mcdonald are due in
the sand today at their No. Agnes
Gorrell, but nothing has as yet been
heard from it. Their No. 4, same
lease, is due Saturday night or early
Monday morning.
The Hill Oil company's J. K.
Hill No. 9, which came in yester-
day morning early, is making $50
barrels from the first pay, but will
be drilled deeper, and it is expected
to be good for ESQ barrels from the
second pay.
Their No. II ]. K. Hill was
given TWEEN ty-quart stimulant to-
day, and is now making 200 bar
rels.

the many detrimental Circumstance
es.
The latest report from the ]. K.
Hill No 9, 1oo.acre tract, belong
ing to the Hill Oil company is,that it
reached the first pay last night and
showed up for a small producer. 1t
is the intention to drill it deeper,
as the company is confident that in
the second pay will be found much
more satisfactory results.
Crawford & Treats J. F. Farrell
No. 9, drilled in few days ago, is
still holding up at $50 barrels.
The same company are on the top
of the sand at their J. F. Farrell No.
~ which will be due on Saturday.
They have also put in the casing at
their No. II, same lease, and it will
follow No. II, a couple of days
later.
Henry & Mcdonald will be due
Sunday at their Nos. and a on the
w. w. Gorrell lease. These wells
are all in defined territory.
Henry & Mcdonald have made
location, and have the material
on the ground for their VIM. Cor
rell No. 5. This is the last we'll they
will drill this winter, as they will
do no more hauling till better roads.
Nichols & Barnsdall have made
two locations for their Nos. 3 and
on the T. G. Hawkins. They are
both northeast of the same COM
pany's No. I. on the M. A. Cor
rell.
They are putting the timber on
the ground this week and will be-
gin to rig it up next week.
The Eastern Oil company are
drilling at 200 feet with their No. 2
M. A. Gorrell.
The same company is past the
500 foot mark at their Duval No.. I.
Both are in defined limits.
The latest from the Reppart No.
I, South Penn Oil company, is that
it is only good for about twelve
barrels a day. 1t will not be good
for more than rs at the best.
WILSON RUN.
This field is presenting more at
tractive developments and causing
more study among the talent than
any field with the exception ot.the
Jug.
The Carter OH company's Ed
wards No. I which came in at 800
barrels, is settled down to us
barrels, and the Fisher Oil compa-
ny's Edwards, 40 acre tract, No. L,
is holding up at the same rate.
The Carter Oil company is still
fishing at theiriEdwards No. 2. The
Fisher Oil company is drilling at
500 feet at their Edwards No. 2.
Gordon & Yost are due at their
Reed No. on Saturday instead of
tomorrow as was reported yester-
day.
They have also located their No.
3 Reed short distance south of
their No. 2 and will begin to haul
the timbers next Monday. These
two wells are offsets to Carriers Ed
wards wells and will surely be pro-
ducers, the extent of which are now
only a matter of conjecture. 1t
now looks as though this field has a
northwest and southeast extension,
and most all drilling will be on
these lines.
Operations in the Elk Fork field
are going along in the even tenor of
their way.
The only we'll to be drilled in
yesterday was the Fisher Oil COM
pany's Henthorn No. 2, which
reached the pay last night. 1t did
not fulfill expectations as it is only
good for about eighty-fve barrels.

Ell NIDO CLUB SUITS.
All the Members Who Were in Good
Standing Are Sued for the
Gibbs Indebtedness,

ALAMEDA, Sept. S.-The last chapter
in the history of the unfortunate Ell Nido
Club was opened to-day, when 1. P. Allen,
assignee of the club, which is insolvent
filed suits in Justice Morris court against
all the members who were in good stand
ing at the time the organization went into
insolvency, for the purpose of collecting
the sum of 1866 rs, or SIS % from each In
dividual. Separate suits were filed
against each member. The complaints al
lege that on or about August 8. 1885, the
said FL Nido Club was declared insolvent
in the Superior Court of this county and
l. p. Allen was appointed assignee of the
estate thereof. That the club Is indebted
to divers and sundry creditors in the sum
of 1865 rs, and each member is sued for his
pro rata of that amount.
Ell Nido Club had Furnishing existence
for a brief period. 1t included many of
the prominent business men of the city,
but finally some of the members ran up
bills which they did not pay, chiefly for
liquid refreshments, and when the club
was called on for settlement 1t had no
money in the treasury.
4 particularly aggravating feature of
the affair is that most of the men who
have been sued are of the number who
paid their bills and dues regularly and
are substantial business men, while those
who ate and drank on credit We're dropped
from membership and their associates are
now called upon to pay for their refresh
mentS.

Albrecht Fails to Explain.

SANTA ROSA, Sept. s.-The plot GER
tainly seems to be thickening around
Charles Albrecht, the San Francisco ar
chitect whose honeymoon was so rudely
marred by the strong arm of the law here
last night, and who in consequence now
occupies a cell in the County Jail
ION Tuesday Albrecht was married to
Miss May Marshall, the pretty daughter
OF NJ V. Marshall, well-to-do farmer re-
siding short distance from town. On
Wednesday evening he was arrested and
charged with Issuing a fraudulent check
upon the First National Bank of San
Francisco in payment for goods that were
purchased for the brides trousseau.
Last night when seen in his cell AL
brecht claimed his arrest was the result
of a mistake upon the part of the officials
and as soon as the morning came he
would be able to communicate with San
Francisco by telephone and explain
everything satisfactorily. When morn
ing came, however, he failed to make good
his promises and when questioned by the
officers told many conflicting tales as to
his actions and whereabouts during the
past few years.
This afternoon the hief of Police of
Oakland wired the Sheriff's Office in this
city that Albrecht was wanted there, If
he was the man the Alameda County off,
Gals believed him to be, for bigamy, hav-
ing married Miss Mamie NJ. Boagard
whose parents reside at TAT Market street,

PLOTTED To
Be DIVORCED
After the False Teeth of
His Rival.
WANTED A WATCH CHARM
LEWIS WAS DISARMED TO
AVOID A MURDER.
he Found His Wife With Another
Man and Was Led to the
Couple by His
Sister.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

9OS Broadway, Sept. s.
This afternoon Attorney Tom Bradley
obtained from the Sheriff a pistol which
but for the timely work of a Deputy
Sheriff would have caused a tragedy at
the Chateau at Piedmont. The circum-
stances connected with this pistol point to
very clever plot by which a sister at
tempted to aid her brother in securing
divorce from a wife who was not des-
perately fond of him.
Il. J. Lewis Is the man who owns the
gun, and just what steps he will take
through his attorney, whether civil or
criminal, is not yet known. A few days
ago Lewis was in Colfax, when he re-
e ee a letter from his sister telling him
ments with A. E. Harris, a local sales
man. Lewis, anxious for something
upon which TO seek a separation, quick
ly returned to Oakland. and was inform
ed by his sister that Harris, Mrs Lewis,
man named David and Lewis sister had
gone to the Chateau in Pleasant Valley.
Lewis at once loaded his pistol and went
to the Chateau with another man to get
his wife. He told Officer Hitchcock that
his desire was to secure a divorce, and
told him he preferred to use club instead
OF a pistol. The officer not only declined
to loan him his club, but took away the
gun. a few minutes later Lewis again
met the officer, told him that his wife
was not at the Chateau, and asked him to
return the gun. HITCHCOCK ala so, ana
Lewis returned toward the Chateau, at
the same time reloading his gun, which
Hitchcock had emptied. Seeing this, he
was again disarmed, and he then ran to
the house and found his wife and Harris
in dining room. The men grappled with
each other, and in the fight Miss Lewis
struck her brother over the head with
bottle, but Immediately saw her mistake,
and explained to him that she meant it
for Harris. After a while Harris broke
away, with the aid of the officer and the
restaurant keeper.
Lewis then told the crowd that he did
not intend 10 kill Harris, but he intended
to force him to his knees and make him
take out his false teeth, which Lewis de-
clared he was going to hang on his watch
chain as a memento of the evenings
sport.
Lewis sister and Mr. Hamburger, who
had accompanied Lewis to the Chateau
then started away, and a few minutes
later were calling for help, both of them
having fallen into a sewer ditch six feet
deep, Lewis was around town to-day
looking for Harris, but the latter had
disappeared Officer Hitchcock turned
the gun over to the Sheriff, and this af-
ternoon it was delivered to Attorney
Bradley for his client.

STRUCTURES ARE SAVED BY
MUCH HARD WORK.
President Ravens Appealed To on
Behalf of the Tibbitts Boys,
Who Fired the
Underwood,
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

90S Broadway, Sept. s.
Two little boys named Tibbitts are
anxiously waiting for the return of Presi-
dent Havens of the Piedmont Springs
property When 4Ir. Ravens returns he
may decide to prosecute the lads for
starting three fires on the property SIM
ultaneously and exposing valuable build
ings to great risk merely for fun.
The boys have signed a complete state
ment of the incidents connected with the
fires at Piedmont Springs, which were
only put out after hard battle waged by
a gang of men. The little fellows were
coming from school, and after taking
bath in the reservoir they decided to
light a fire for amusement. When they
had lit one and it had got good Roadway
they left it and started another among
the deep dry underground surrounding
the building. This pleased them SO much
that they started still another, and when
the flames almost met they became
frightened and tried to put them out.
The dense smoke attracted the attention
of a special officer, and as 1t was seen
that the buildings were in danger he tele-
organize band of men at once and put
the fires out.
1t required the services of half dozen
men for some hours to prevent an ex-
pensive conf1agration as result of the
boys mischief An investigation was
made, and the little culprits, who ran off
as soon as they saw the danger, were
easily found. They have since written out
a full account of the affair for President
plea for mercy, which will probably be
granted

FIGURES IN A DIVORCE
LEFT HIS FIRST WIFE BY JUMP
ING A TRAIN.
Now It Is Alleged He Has Married
Wealthy Girl at Santa
+ Rosa and Is in
Jail
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

9OS Broadway, Sept s.
Two weeks ago Rosie Albrecht filed
suit for divorce from Charles Alfred AL
orecht IN this county, and suit is still
pending, as no one has yet been able to
serve the summons on Albrecht. He was
married to Miss Mamie Boagard in De-
cember of last year, and she is the lady
who is now DESTROYS of being free.
This morning Attorney Leonard Clark,
who is Mrs. Albrechts attorney, read
dispatch from Santa Rosa, stating that
Charles Albrecht and Miss May Mar
shall, daughter of a well-knoWn Sonoma
farmer, were married a few DAYS ago
and after their honeymoon returned to
Marshalls ranch. On their arrival AL
brecht was arrested on charge of hav-
ing obtained money through an alleged
fraudulent check.
Attorney Clark called on Chief of Po-
lice Fletcher to-day and declared that
Abrecht is a bigamist, and asked the
Chief to communicate with the Sheriff
of Sonoma County and have him detain-
ed on a charge of bigamy, with the priv
lege extended to Mr.. Marshall to prose-
cute If he felt so disposed.
Albrecht evidently has a system of in
ducing girls to marry him. The published
story from Santa Rosa compared very
favorably with the story Attorney Clark
says Albrecht told Miss Boagard when
proposing marriage to her last winter.
He represented that he was wealthy, and
took her to. San Francisco, where he
spent few hundred dollars for a seal
skin sack and a diamond ring. In spite
of these evidences of his wealth Miss
Boagard told her parents that she feared
all was not right To allay her trepida-
ton he showed her an alleged forged tel
egram dated at San Mateo, telling of
|. his appointment to a lucrative position
as an architect. He induced her to ac-
\ company him to San Mateo
This was on December 90 and two
days later the young wifes sister took
her away to her home. The husband fol-
lowed W ha
him with arrest he jumped from the
:. train before reaching San Francisco, and
Attorney Clark heard no more of him till
he read of his experience in Santa Rosa.
