Outcome of Cases Against Mrs. Roy
and Richard ShackeIfOrd.

Margaret Roy. a widow of forty, and
Richard Shackelford, a gray-haired man of
fifty, were sent to Jail yesterday from the
Criminal Court. Mrs Roy resides on a farm
of her own in the north part of the county.
Shackelford has been living with her on the
farm and both were tried in the Criminal
Court on a grand jury indictment. Mrs
Roy's husband died several years ago and
she employed Shackelford, who was
neighbor, to come and work for her. After
Shackelford had been in Mrs. Roy's en-
ploy for several months, his wife sued the
widow for alternating her husband's affec-
tions. Mrs Shackeford was given a verdict
for 81 600 in the Superior Court. After the
trial it appears that Shackelford remained
in the service of Mrs. Roy.
The case against the pair was tried in
the Criminal Court two weeks ago and
Jesse d. Hamrick, who has occupied the
Criminal Bench for several weeks, took the
matter under advisement. Yesterday he an
nounced his decision. He sent Shackelford
to Jail for thirty days and informed Mrs
Roy she would have to spend one day in
iail, The woman sat before the judge with
babe in her arms and was informed that the
child was all that kept her from receiving
a heavier sentence. Mrs. Roy did not seem
at all dspleased with the courts decision
and followed Shackeford to the Jail with a
a cell but the woman was allowed to re-
main in the Jail office. After she had been
in Jail an hour, an order was received to

Joseph Salvati, an Italian fruit vendor,
who is able to speak but little English, was
arrested late yesterday evening and is, no
doubt, wondering why he is confined in a
cell of the county Jail. Salvati is guilty of
contempt of court and is paying the penal
ty. Early last week he was notified that he
would have to appear as witness in a case
to be tried in the Criminal Court. The off,
Gals were aware of the mans ignorance Of
the court customs of this country, and a
deputy sheriff was sent to find him and ex-
plain what he would have to do The deputy
brought Salvati to the courthouse, es-
corted him TO the Criminal Court room and
tried to make him understand just what
would be expected of him when his services
were required The case was to come up a
day or two later and Salvati was eau
toned not to forget his duty. When the
case was called the Italian not present
and could not be found. AS he is the main
witness, the case could not be tried and the
court ordered him sent in for contempt. 1t
is expected the case will come up again to-
day and the sheriff has promised TO have
the luckless fruit vendor in court.

Josephine Tingley, of Toronto. described
the kitchengarden work in which she is en-

operation led by Mary A. Taggart, of Chi

the afternoon programme and discussion
was had on the founding of superannuated
homes for deaconeSses and the question of
where to meet next year. The deaconesses
Ielt very kindly toward Acton, but whether
they will meet at the camp next year will
not be definitely decided until later in the
year.
In the evening there was an address by
Nellie /. Hibbard. of Boston, who discussed
the question of what the Epworth League
can do for the deaconess. This closed the
deaconess assembly, which has been note
worthy for its success.

1.-THE product of the Summerland wells is
SMALL" said Mr.. Treadwell. "There are
some 800 wells, and do not believe that
they produce an average of two barrels a
day. The oil is very heavy, the specific
gravity being about Is; 1t cannot be re-
fined and is useful only for fuel purposes"
When questioned concerning the large
strike made in the ocean there short time
ago. Mr.. Treadwell said:
"That we'll really does not amount to
much. For the first two or three days after
it was opened 1t flowed sixty or seventy
Barrels a day, as many other wells have
done at first while the gas was escaping.
After that its production fell to about the
general average. The fuss raised about It
was all nonsense. All Of these wells are
shallow, tho oil sand, which is only about
twenty-five feet thick. being struck at
depths varying from 40 to 800 feet. A pc
culiarity there Is that the water which
comes up in the wells is impregnated with
sulphuric acid and that eats the casing.
1.-THE Union OIL company has recently put
down wells near Sespe to depth Of nearly
1900 feet, with good prospects.
MT is my opinion that the great need of
the oil field here Is such legislation as they
! have in Pennsylvania. In that state there
are statutes providing how a well Is TO be
made and how, when abandoned, 1t shall be
cased of to prevent injury to the surround
! ing wells. This Is 4 matter which should
be taken up by the press.
"As to the future of California as an oil
producing state, believe that 1t wiz con-
tinue to produce fair amount of good fuel
OIL, but doubt whether II will ever take the
same rank as Pennsylvania. All Of the oil
here Is Of heavier quality"

Arms and the man sing" remarked Mr..
Virgil, In choice heroic Latin, some 1900
years or SO ago; and the impression might
follow that there was an dnvidious refec-
ton upon the limbs that missed mention.
Perhaps they went under the head of con-
cealed arms at Rome and were in disre-
pute with the authorities.
But legs are no disgrace In the nineteenth
century, In spite of the apparent dlsfavor
with which they are sometimes viewed by
earnest w. c. T. us and other moralists
of the stricter sort.
All are willing to) be the possessors of
such, even at the risk Of having them pulled
occasionally. And nobody objects to his
arms on the ground that not infrequently
they are talked to the ragged edge of am
putation by a loquacious friend.
This Is because said appendages are not
confined to above named uses, but have 9TH

But to have legs that kick not and arms

1t was not without careful consideration
that an unfavorable answer was given to
the applicant In the first place. His record
was looked up as fay as 1t could be on his
own references and the authorities decided
that It was not suitable thing to use pub
lie means upon this subject.
OF course the man is In a pitiable state,

that class Of the helpless whose only reason
for adopting this state for a residence Is
their preference, or this favored land

gangs of boys and men shouting at them
and abusing them in various ways. Jem-
erson determined to put a stop to the an

out and attacked Olivas, who was stand

Olivas said that he had been waiting for

and he had not INDUCED in any abuse. He
said he had been assailed by Jemerson and
some other men, and as 1t was dark he
thought they were trying to hold him up,
so he grabbed a stone to protect himself.
The case was taken under advisement.
