Abrahams, it striking him in the stom-
ach and telling him to the ground.
Hutchinson then took refuge in flight
and was pursued by Officer Welsh, up

COUNTY DEPUTIES
A Few More Whose Re-Appointment
Has Been Guaranteed

Among those who have been assured that
their services will be retained by new coun
ty officials are Juan Murrietta, the office
deputy in the sheriff's office; Sam Kutz, the
efficient registry deputy of the county clerk
and Frank RAIDER, the filing clerk in the same
office.
Mr.. Murrietta is the bookkeeper of long
standing in the sheriff's office, and his ac
quaintance with the details of his work is
such as to make him invaluable to the in
cumbent. Mr.. Kutz also has acquired such
facility in handling the foreigners who wish
to take out naturalization papers, the voters
who wish to register and the bashful swains
who want marriage licenses and dread say
ing so, that it would never do to let Sam
go. Frank RAIDER is getting to be a fixture
in the clerks office. When Mr.. Bell was
around the other day he told Frank he need
not lose any sleep for fear of discharge, nod
ding at Charley Keyes at the same time, as
he added, "Nor he, either" George o. Mon
roe, the genial and accommodating clerk of
Department six of the superior court, is
also billed to remain at his present place of
duty. What will be done with respect to
the other places no one yet has found out.

manently disabled. He asks judgment of

OIL NOTES
A New Combination of Operators to
Keep Up the Price

But little has happened the past week in
the field; most of the operators appear to be
awaiting the result of the coming election.
Hard drilling has been encountered in the
western extension of the oil district. The
price has been equable, most small consign.
ments being disposed of at 81 barrel II
prices stiffen and the market goes up, more
wells will be drilled. One new we'll has been
finished belonging to Thomas A. O'Donnel
and located on Miramar street.
Many of the larger operators wish to see
prices advance a little and stiffen at 81
or more. To effect the desired end, they
purpose entering into a combination to Sc
cure the price and hold it if possible for one
year. They have had one meeting and will
perfect the organization the coming week.
In the Fullerton field, operated by the
Santa Fe, no new wells have been drilled
new strike was made yesterday on thu
ranch Of David G. Cook, the Chicago million
aire, near Piru. The well is situated about

FOR CONSUL BooTH-TUCKER
Club Women Give Reception to Army
Lasses

The Ebell club rooms were filled to over
flowing yesterday afternoon by members and
friends of the Friday Morning club, Ruskin
Art club and Ebell to meet Consul Booth
Tucker and Colonel Alice Lewis and
Staff Captain Dunham, who accompanied
her. Mrs. Flint, president of the Ebell, in
troduced Mrs BoothTucker, who spoke for
some time on the work of the Salvation
army, particularly of the rescue branch.
Consul Tucker handled her subject with deli
cacy, tact and refinement, but as she told
pathetic stories that come in her own ex-
perience OF the lives of the scarlet woman
and the outcast that the army seeks to save
there were many tears in many eyes of the
well-dressed, sheltered and cared for women.
In her earnest, sympathetic manner, she
told OF the five or six thousand fallen women
that pass through the army rescue homes
every year, and its work in this direction is
three-fold in its character. The work out
side of the rescue homes enables them to
get into touch with the inmates of the low
est dives, where thousands everywhere are
pining for help. All who enter the rescue
homes are classified into the special kind of
labor for which they are qualified-domestic
servants, seamstresses etc, for all of whom
they SeI employment WHeH tHey snow I'm.
mistakably that they have reformed.
The secret of the great success the army
has met with in this class of unfortunates
Mrs. Booth-Tucker attributes to the fact
that the army never loses sight of wo.
man or girl who has passed through their
homes. Those who have disappointed them
are given another chance, and those who
have stood fast are carefully watched over
and made to feel that they always have
steadfast friends in the members of the
army. Those who have done well are or
ganized into league of love, and no mat
ter at how much sacrifice it may be, they
contribute as far as they are able to save
others.
Mrs. Tucker presented the claims of the
rescue home in East Los Angeles, supple--
mented by brief remarks on the work by
Staff Captain Dunham.
After the addresses tea and waters were
served and the ladies were presented to the
guest of honor. The ladies focked around
Consul Tucker to learn more of her work,
and there were evidences of substantial SYM
pathy in what the army is seeking to ac-
complish in Los Angeles.
