Some time ago the citizens of Carson
who invested in Sunset Oil stock al
lowed the money to be subsequently in

Germans Remain Neutral.

TOXIC, July S-An official statement
issued here today declares that the
Japanese government is confident that
the German government will remain
neutral. The Kiau Chou incident is
not regarded seriously. During the
recent activity of the Russians at
Port Arthur and Vladivostok spua.l-
rons it was suggested that the posi-
bly, intended to run into some nel-
tral Chinese port disarm and claim
protection. Kiau Chou was named as
as one of the possible Ravens (this
port is on the east coast of the prov
fence Of Shan Tung, and territory conf
prising the protectorate of the German
Empire). One of the newspapers IL
timated that Germany is willing to ex-
tend its protection to Russian war

Death Of John Epstine.

People Of this city were gieved and
surprised to hear that John l. Epstiae
one of the best known -Oung men Of
this city had died at his home Thurs
day evening.
The deceased had been ailing for a
number of days but the attending ply

ment was temporary Thursday even
ing he grew suddenly worse and passed
away surrounded by his relatives.
John L. Epstine was native of this
city whee he was born 80 years ago.
Reared to manhood here his circle of
friends was large as his genial dispos-
ition was one of his marks. The de-
ceased was member Of the A. o. U.
W. and at the time of his death WAS
Master Workman. He was also a
member Of the Warren Engine com.
pany.
John was capable, willing and had
mnay good qualities. 1t is to be reg
cited that death claimed him in the
time of his manhood. The sympathy
of the community is extended to the
mother and sorrowing sisters and
brothers.
Funeral arrange ents will be an

MET HIS MATCH
Sham American Millionaire on Trans
atlantic Liner outwitted
by the Cook.

The classical confidence trick
has been neatly played ona would
be swindler by his intended vic
tim, states the London Telegraph
of recent date. The latter, a cook
on a transatlantic liner, had been
done himself before, and was too
old a bird to be caught again. He
struck up an acquaintance with
an engaging but obviously sham
American millionaire in the train
to Paris, cOnf1ding to him that he
had 100000 francs in his bag and
meant to amuse himself on the
bOuleVards.
"Well met, indeed" said the
millionaire. 81 have also made my
pile and intend seeing the merry
side of life in gay Paree." They
started the evening with an ex-
pensive dinner, paid for by the
American millionaire. At coffee
the latter exclaimed: "HullO, ]
have not any cigars; suppose you
60 and buy some. You can leave
your bag here, where it will be
quite safe. But, as you might be
suspicious, here's my pOcketbook
Keep it till you join me again"
AS soon as the cooks back was
turned the American millionaire
Of course bolted with the bag, but
the latter only contained old news
papers and the cooks card will
the words: 81 have been here be
fore; you have met your mattel
this time" In the would-be swim
dler's pocketbook was a sum o.
E24 in French notes, which the
cook took to the police station
asking the officer to whom he tol(
the tale with understandable rel
ish to give the money to the poor
