ander purchased the saloon and business of
William Bowen at Redondo for the sum of
$500. In the place, working as clerk for

Sam Sweitzer. Alexander took fancy to
the fellow and installed him as barkeeper
and half partner in the concern. In lieu
of cash Alexander accepted Sweitzer's note
for $3.50, payable in a year. The partner
ship did not prove very satisfactory to Alex
ander or profitable to the business for it is
said that the saloon came near being closed
on account of the pugnacious tendency Of
Sweitzer. Finally Alexander decided to get
rid of the man, and he came to this city and
consulted Attorney ii. j. Hughes. The
lawyer saw Sweitzer and came to an agree

Its Validity Argued in the Mob Hill

The arguments touching the validity of the
ordinance prohibiting the boring of oil wells
within radius of 1900 feet from the limits

rulings bearing on the legality of the or
dinance. G. l.. Bachelor last night spoke
on behalf of w. E. DE Groot, the owner OF
the oil wells which have been made the sub
ject of the present test case. Bachelor
said that the land in that vicinity was valua-
BILE for oil. but it was comparatively worth
less for anything else. If the residence
people did not like the oil wells they ought
to move away.
The court reserved ruling on the matter
until this morning. j. SHELTON and Bert
Culver are the defendants in the case, as
they were arrested for having bored well
