HAD A STEADY RUN
WORK OF THE WEEK IN THE OIL
FIELDS
San Francisco's Threatened Coal
Famine Again-A Few
Complaints

1t has been an uneventful week in oil
circles. Development work has been
progressing regularly and the produc-
ton has been kept fully up to the stan
dard. The preliminary steps toward the
erection of the new storage tank ordered
in the next thirty days, are well under
way.
The story published in The Herald the
first of the week to the effect that a
ened, has been confirmed in private cor
respondence between San Francisco
parties and a well known oil man in this
city. The opinion is expressed, how
ever, that the shortage will not be felt
at it's worst stage for several days yet,
"as a number of barges," one letter
states, "are on their way to San Fran
cisco laden with COAL" 1t is fact how
ever, admitted by those familiar with
the coal trade in San Francisco, that
many of the vessels formerly engaged
exclusively in the coal carrying business,
have been chartered for the Alaskan
trade, thus greatly diminishing the
transportation facilities. When all
these vessels were engaged in the coal
business, it is said, there were none too
many to meet the regular demands. If
such is the actual state of affairs the
reported prospective shortage may be
considered as more than confirmed and
the oil men of this city have much to
encourage them.
A dispatch from San Francisco, pub
lished in the daily papers several days
ago, denied that there was any prospect
of a shortage, stating that the reports
to that effect may have been inspired by
spectators who were anxious to create
fictitious values. Further than the dis
patch itself there is nothing of a tan
gible nature to support this view of the
situation, from the best information OBJ
tainabe.
Prices for oil have remained steady
during the week The oil producers
trustees have been negotiating several
new contracts within the past few days
at regulation prices.

HIS WISH FULFILLED
James Corners Successfully Breaks
Into the Folsom Penitentiary

James Corners, tramp, who is eX-
ceedingly deaf, pleaded guilty to bur-
glary in the first degree yesterday morn
ing, in Department one of the Superior
court, and was sentenced by Judge Smith
to Imprisonment in the Folsom peniten-
tiary for the term of two years.
Conners is the man who, on the even
ing of the 21st inst, threw a coupling
pin into the plate-glass window of F.
Berman's jewelry store on South Spring
street and calmly awaited arrest after
doing the mischief He was charged with
burglary, although, technically, he was
guilty only of malicious mischief, and
was held to answer by Justice Morrison
the next day. Conners did his utmost to
convince the only too willing police de-
tectives that his intent was burglary, al
though none of his actions subsequent to
smashing the plate glass indicated that
such was his idea.
What Conners really did was to delib-
erately break his way into the peniten-
tiary to obtain the bare necessities OF
life, which he lacked for a year or more
and to feel in the stone quarries of Fol
som sense of security that he could
not gain while hunted by country con-
stables in this county,.
The. prisoner is handicapped by a
deafness which makes it positively pain
full to speak to him, and is, Furthermore
not very bright. He made his way to
California from the east a year ago
in search of work, and found none. He
walked all the way from San Francisco
to Los Angeles in another fruitless
quest for employment of any kind. Most
of the time he was hungry and cold,
and only succeeded in obtaining hot
meals and warm bunk when the con-
STABLES in the country pulled him in for
vagrancy. His little trips to comfort in
the county jail did not happen often
enough to suit his convenience, although
he placed himself several times within
easy reach of the officers; so he finally
determined that he must do something
which would send him into states pris-
on, and he did the "coupling-pin act''
with very satisfactory results to himself.
Judge Smith briefly inquired into the
particulars of the case and expressed the
opinion that Corners was really a can
didate for something to eat at regular
intervals. When he announced the sem
tence of two years at Folsom pleased
smile overspread the dense features of
the prisoner, who was led away in a
happy frame of mind.

Compton and now notary public, while
Harbell Is a butcher and cattle dealer.
Both are Masons, and it is said that the
ill-feeling between the two was origin
ated by letter written by Gaines, which
reflected upon Harbell in connection
with lodge matters.
Harbell went to Gaines office and in
vited him out into the street in order to
punch his head, but the notary declined
ITO crafty the butchers wishes. This,
says Harbell, is all there was of 1t.
Gaines story, on the other hand, is that
the butcher swore that he would kill
him; that he would camp on his trail to
his dying day, and that he would beat
the life out of him.
The row will be investigated next
Tuesday morning in the township just
ices court.
