COMPENSATION FIXED.

AS compensation they were to receive
$3.50, 424 in stock and $12,423 worth of bonds
of the Associated Oil Company At a
subsequent meeting the sellers agreed to
deposit with the purchasing corporation
all of the stock and half of the bonds as
security against any claims or suits con-
corning the title to the Kern County
lands that might be brought against the
Associated Oil Company 1t was also
agreed that the Shamrock Oil Company
Consolidated should defray the cost of de-
Tending the title to the land that might
be incurred by the Associated Oil Com
pany.
A few weeks ago a suit to recover the
Kern County property was filed in Kern
County by the defendants in the suit
brought here yesterday, and this suit is
the cause of appeal to the local courts.
1t appears from the complaint filed here
that a few weeks ago the stock and
bonds left with the Associated Oil Com
pany as security were given into the
hands Of LANCE and Phillips, and they, so
the compliments aver, Immediately called
a meeting of the stockholders of the
Shamrock Oil Company. Notices of the
meeting were sent to Treadwell, Lynch,
Vandercook, Bergerot and Birdsall, and
when they were assembled each one was
made the owner Of one share Of stock in
the Shamrock Oil Company. LANCE and
Phillips, 1t is said, were each voted eight
shares OF stock, thus making in addition
to the stock standing in the name of the
corporation, which was voted by those
present, the majority of the stock which
the bylaws Of the corporation required
should be represented at a meeting where
an election of officers was held

BULLET BREAKS
SAMPLES NECK
Witnesses Testify at
Hearing Of Murder
Charge.

The preliminary examination Of Charles
Sullivan and John H. Powell, charged with
killing Special Officer Robert A. Sample on
Folsom street, between First and Second,
between 70 and l o'clock on the morning of
August II. was commenced before Police
Judge Mogan yesterday. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Whiting conducted the
prosecution and the defendants were rep
resented by Attorneys Eddy and Coghlan.
Martin Kelly was an interested spectator.
DR.. Charles j. Schmelz, the physician
who attended Sample, described the ma
ture of his wounds. One Of the bullets
had fractured the neck; there was
wound on the top of the head, inflicted
with blunt instrument, perhaps heavy
shoe: the right eye was confused and cut
and the forehead confused and abrased
by blows from brass knuckles or some
other instrument. DR.. S. j. Fraser, con-
sulting physician, corroborated the evil
dence of DR.. Schmelz.
FIGHT WITH DULLIGHAN.
Thomas F. Dullighan, boiler-maker, tes-
tilted TO having a fight with the defend
ants outside Hugh O'Connor's grocery at
First and Folsom streets. Sample came
UP to them and separated them, telling
the defendants to go home The defend
ants called Sample a foul name and
walked along toward Second street
Sample remarked that he should have
used his club on them and walked after
them That was the last he saw of Sam
nile and the defendants. Joseph NJ. Sulli-
van, a brassmolder, corroborated Dullig-
han. Joseph p. Conley, longshoreman,
who was knocked down either by Sullivan
or Powell, testified that he was too drunk
at the time to remember anything about
it, Hugh O'Connor, the grocer, gave I'M
important testimony.
c. R. Franklin, clerk, living at 525
Folsom street, was the most important
witness. He said he was standing on the
steps of his house and diagonally oppo-
site he heard some one telling another
that he couldn't fight him. This was fol-
lowed by a scuffiing noise and a sound as
If head had been hit with a club.
SHOOTING OF OFFICER.
Immediately thereafter two shots were
fired in quick succession. Two men ran
in the direction OF Second street Frank
lin crossed the street and saw Sample
lying on the sidewalk with his face cover
ed with blood. Sample asked Franklin
to raise him up. Franklin did so, but had
to place him on his back again, as his
mouth and nose became choked with
blood. Policemen Nobmann and Clark
then came up with the two defendants
and Sample was carried to an electric
car Franklin picked up Samples whistle
and keys from the sidewalk and saw his
club lying against the fence. No one
passed along between First and Second
streets between the time of the shooting
and the arrival of the officers with the
two defendants.
At this stage the case was continued
till next Friday morning.

ELECTION PROCEEDS.

The election was proceeded with, says
the complaint, and resulted in the selec-
ton Of Treadwell, Lynch. Vandercook,
Bergerot and Birdsau as directors The
new directors then elected Lynch presi-
dent of the corporation and Birdsall sec
rotary.
Following the election, the plaintiffs
aver, the new officers Of the corporation
Immediately took advantage of their DO
sition to break away from the agreement
the old board had made with the Asso-
ciated OIL Company, and filed an action
to recover the Kern County property.
The action, ii is complained, is a breach
Of faith and one that will injure the rep
utation of the stockholders of the Sham
rock Oil Company and do them irrepar-
able injury in the business community.
and because of this the aid of the iniunc-
ton law is sought. Judge Kerrigan is
sued the injunction prayed for. and it will
remain in effect until the court deter
mines the rights of the plaintiffs in the
premises.

SAYS DOCUMENTS
ARE FRAUDULENT
Van Nostrand Charges
Collection Agents
With Duplicity.

Complaint was fled yesterday with JUS
tee Of the Peace Van Nostrand that ].
n. Ross and W. j. Thompson Of thu
National Law and Collection Company
are in the habit of using, for the pur-
pose Of intimidating people. an imitation
OF a document known In law as a com
plant and summons" The imitation pro-
fesses to be an Original notice to Defend
ant, which is not known IN the legal
business of the Justices Court. At a cas-
ual glance the paper seems to have been
issued from the Justices Court. but Judge
Van Nostrand declares that it emanates
from the offices of Ross & Thompson,
who are the attorneys for the National
Law and Collection Company.
The specific instance called to the at
tention OF Judge Van Nostrand was the
serving Of one Of the papers on w. A.
Nevtlls, owner Of the Rawhide mining
property. The paper was numbered 1e49
and recited that suit had been brought
by the National Law and Collection Com
pany against W. A Nevius for the re-
covery Of $40 alleged TO be due as a sub
scription to an Eastern periodical. The
document was not issued by anv Justica
Of the Peace nor by the Clerk of the
Justices Court, Van Nostrand saws
The use of these imitation papers
said Judge Van Nostrand, appears 10 ma
to be for the purpose Of forcing peonIa
10 pay an alleged debt with the alterna-
tive OF defending a suit to recover the
amount. I understand that Ross whose
name appears signed to the document
served on Nevills, threatens to have tbs
Sher1n levy on property owned bv tina
debtor unless he pays up. The paper 10
a clever imitation Of a Summons and
complaint" which is the regular docu-
ment issued BY the Clerk Of the Court
and no doubt tnttmidates people who are
ignorant of the legal procedure in such
cases. propose to bring the matter to
the attention of the Justices of the Psacs
with a view Of putting a stop to what 7
consider a fraudulent method Of com
pelling people to settle with alleged credi-
tors"
