A GREAT BALL GAME.
The Game Vas q Great One and Was
Attended by a Good Crowd.

The ball game yesterday after
noon between the teams from the
W. o. W. and the Eagles lodges
was we'll attended and was en-
ioyed by all present.
There we're several sensational
plays made BY both teams. among
which was a wrestling match
INDUCED in between 4-11-44 Will
son and Red Strong which was
refereed by DR.. Meade. No one
was injured in the least. Some
BODY made one double play, hut
the official score keeper was too
busy looking at something else to
remember it. Another feature
was the playing of Shirley BROOKS,
who stopped a good swift ball by
catching it in the eye. and as
result he has his head tied up to.
day. and is wearing beautiful
black eye.
| One notable feature of the game
was the few times that the players
wanted to kill. the umpire, this
only occurring twice during the
game. 1t is said that the reason
for getting an umpire that be-
longed to neither of the orders
was that if be was killed thu
Eagles would not have to bury
him nor the W. o. W. have any
insurance to pay.
The score was II to 5 in favor
of the Woodmeu. The batteries
we're Putnam and Strong for the
Woodmen and McMullen anC

ALLEGED SWINDL Err FOUND
LIVING UNDER AN ALIAS
H. v. STRONG LOCATED AFTER A
MONTH
P. B. McCabe Accuses Prisoner of
Securing $500 by Giving
Worthless Check
for Bill

H. Vincent Strong, alias H. Vincent,
was arrested yesterday on a charge of
felony. He was arraigned and put under
$1,000 bail, which he was unable to fur
nish.
Strong was accused last month of
swindling P. B. McCabe, dealer in min
ing machinery in the Crosse building, out
of about $700.
McCabe alleged at the time that he had
advanced Strong money on draft for
$500 on Strong's uncle at Spring Valley,
Mimi. and that later he had given him
$3.50 more. Strong's draft was returned
unpaid, and he then gave McCabe a check
for the total amount on the Spring Valley
bank, where he claimed to have an ac-
count.
The check was protested for non-pay..
ment and Strong disappeared. Later he
returned and McCabe swore out a war
rant for his arrest, but let the matter
drop on the promise of Strong that he
would settle the bill at once.
The bill has never been settled, and
Strong's whereabouts was not known
until yesterday, when it was found that
he had registered at a South Main street
hotel as H. Vincent, He was arrested on
the street yesterday afternoon.
McCabe says that Strong is involved to
the extent of nearly $1,000 Strong is a
contractor in this city. He expects that
friends will arrange for his bail today.

1t is not generally known that the

California is greater than that received
of the present year oil was selling at %
cents a barrel, while the price at the
wells today is 81 a barrel, with every
prospect of a slight advance. This in
crease is a normal and permanent one
and is based solely on the law of supply
and demand. Large quantities of oil
have been and are still being shipped to
Japan and other eastern countries, and
this in part accounts for the advance in
price.
Every available oil rig in the state is
working and the oil well supply COM

BLAZE IN HOTEL

FASHIONABLE ST. JAMES is
DAMAGED
Loss Several Thousand Dollars-Third
Floor Destroyed-Defective
Wiring Thought to
Be Cause

Fire nearly destroyed the fashionable
St. James hotel, at SIT West Twenty
third street, yesterday morning Defect
i've wiring is alleged to have caused the
fire. The total damage will amount to
over $4,000.
The fire was discovered by passen gers
in a street car who saw flames bursting
from the roof. The alarm was sent in
before the guests realized their danger.
The third floor was completely destroyed.
The Commonwealth Investment COM
pany owns the property and A. T.
Stewart is proprietor. urniture in the
hotel was valued at $4,000 and was in
sured The exact amount of the loss can
not be estimated as yet as there was
much damage on the first and second
floors from water. The building, valued at
$S000 was also insured.
The guests lost heavily. Numerous
trunks which had been stored in the
attic were entirely destroyed and the
seriousness of the loss has not yet been
ascertained.
Much furniture and lany personal
effects were saved.
The belief that the wiring in the build
ing was defective is based on the fact
that the lights went out Sunday night
and had not come on again up to the
time the fire broke out
Among the passengers on the car ina I
saw the flames shooting from the roof
was an employee of the Home Telephone
company and an employe of one of the
local gas companies. The former ran
to the scene of the fire and proceeded to
detach the telephone, which he re-
moved to the lawn. The latter took out
the gas meter. Proud of their achiever
ments the two men guarded their rescued
property while neighbors and friends
lobored in frantic haste to save the more
valuable contents of the building.
A. Dominguez of the fire department
entered the house at the last moment
and rescued the books and papers from
the office.
The adjoining resirence of w. H. Allen,
S13 West Twenty third street, was slightly
damaged.

with the stone
Later it was learned that Nelson was

during one of these spells and struck his
head on the rock While unconscious he

the country The San Miguelito ranch,
sometimes called the Taylor ranch, COW
ers an area of 4795@ acres, surrounded
by property that has yielded tremendous
quantities of oil during the past few
years. The drilling of wells has already
been started and experts estimate that
each we'll drilled to depth of 1900 feet
on the San Miguelito ranch should easily
produce 5000 barrels of oil a month.
These experts examined the property
sometime ago and were unanimous in the
opinion that it was the most valuable
section of oil land in the entire county.
1t is on the same anticlinal and in di-
rect line with some of the greatest
strikes and developed properties which
are now yielding excellent returns. For
instance, the famous. Carpinteria oil fields
are only little removed from the San
Miguelito ranch, and it's same strata has
been traced right through the latter.
Shipping to the Orient
In view of the shortage of oil at the
present time and the ever increasing de-
mand' for the product, it is gratifying to
know of the probability of another rich
strike being made. All signs indicate
that there will be large flow of high
gravity oil, every gallon of which will be
easily marketed. The demand for oil by
the orient is getting greater and greater
all the time, and the Japanese government
is equipping it's warships with oil burning
engines. They are said to be accumulat-
ing tremendous stocks, and every addi-
tional producing well will be a welcome
and extremely profitable thing for the
people of California. The San Miguelito
Ranch Oil company has the advantage
that comes from it's property being To-
Gated at tidewater, thus permitting a
gravity flow of the oil in pipe lines to
the wharf. The expenditure for carriage
and pipe lines will therefore be reduced
to minimum, an advantage which few
other companies enjoy.
AsphaItum and Gas
Asphaltum beds on this same property
will also serve as another source of large
revenue. Immediate steps will be taken
to develop these deposits, as there is al
ways a ready and active demand for
asphaltum. Gas is the third valuable
