DEVILS DEN TO BE
CALLED SATADENA
Postofice Department Rejects
Pluto as Name

Information has been received from
the first assistant postmaster general at
washington to the effect that the post
Office at Devils Den will be established
under the name of Satadena, which was
the second choice in the naming con-
test for a new name for the little city.
The name Pluto was awarded the
first prize as the most suitable name
for the little oil town by the commit
tee, but the name was rejected by the
postoffice department, owing to the fact
that there are several other postofices
in the state by the same name, one of
which is only a few miles from Devils
Den. being situated in Monterey county.
Walter Culver has been appointed
postmaster and the office will soon be
established.

ARTICLE CREATES A
GREAT SENSATION

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Dec. S.-War-
rants and counter-warrants have been
taken out in Indiana Harbor owing to
an alleged libelous article that appear
ed recently in a Roumanian paper pub
lished in Chicago
The principals in the affair are Rev
Simon Mahalton, priest of the Rouma-
MAN church in Indiana Harbor, and
George Deprine, editor of the Chicago
publication in which the article to
which exceptions were taken was
printed.
The article mentioned no names, but
is said to hav been a direct slam" at
the wife of the priest, and as an out
growth of the affair a near-riot was
enacted yesterday morning at the cor
ner of Guthrie and Michigan avenue,
when Deprine was taken off car by
Father Mahalton and a number of his
friends.
Soon after the article appeared in
the Roumanian paper Father Mahal-
ton and party of friends went to Chi
cago to prosecute the editor, but were
told that there was nothing doing In
that neck of the woods and that the
warrant would have to be issued in In
diana Harbor and Deprine arrested in
that city.
Father Mahalton waited his oppor-
tunity and the other day, hearing that
Deprine was in town, swore out a war
rant for Deprine. The case was set for
yesterday morning at o'clock and the
defendant was on hand with his law
yer, before Judge Jameson. The COM
planning witness failed to appear at 1e
o'clock and the case was dismissed
Deprine had boarded an Indiana Har-
Dor car intent upon leaving for Chi
cago when Father Mahalton. accom-
