CHARLES LADDA KILLED
AT WILLIMANTIC.
Struck by Automobile Driven by
Roland Jordan-ComPanion Slightly
Injured.

Charles Ladda. IL years old, was
killed, and a companion. William Sy-
pliers, the same age, was slightly in
jured by being run down by an auto
mobile late Monday at Willimantic,
driven by Roland B. Jordan. 10 years
old, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred D. Jor-
dan
The two boys were playing on the
sidewalk and ran out into the street to
catch a passing trolley car going di
rectly in front of the automobile driven
by young Jordan Ladda was knocked
down and run over while Syphers was
thrown to one side. They were picked
up and taken to St. Joseph's hospital
in the machine, but Ladda died on the
way.
The accident happened at 1.22 p. m.
at the High street stop. Syphers was
found to have received only slight
bruises, while Ladda's neck and left
leg We're broken and his skull frac-
tured-
In the automobile with Jordan were
John L. Leonard. Jr., captain OF the
Windham High school baseball nine,
on the front seat; Harold Frost, VIII
liam Burns, both members of the
school nine, and Guy S. Richmond,
manager, son of Captain of Police E.
H. Richmond on the rear seat.
The boys picked up the two injured
lads and together with Off1cer Allan
Macarthur hurried them to st. Josephs
hospital. DIR. Owen ONeill arrived a
few minutes later, but when he eX-
amined the Ladda boy he was dead and
it is believed that he died on the way
to the hospital.
As the medical examiner could not
be reached Captain Richmond tele-
phoned to Coroner Arthur G. Bill of
Danielson, who arrived on the 4.07 eX-
press. He went to the hospital and
took the doctors statement and talked
with all five of the boys who were rid
ing in the automobile at the time of
the accident. Messrs Jordan Rich
mond and Leonard remained at the
hospital until after Coroner Bill had
seen them and the other two Messrs.
Frost and Burns. were seen by him at
police headquarters. Coroner Bill saw
that young Jordan was a registered
driver and while he did not make any
statement himself Monday night he
told Captain Richmond that he would
notify him Tuesday when he would
have a hearing on the case, and when
Captain Richmond receives such uotI-
fication all witnesses possible to the
accident VIII be summoned.
The case has been pretty well in
veStig ated and from many reliable
sources all information tends to ex-
onerate the driver of the car, Roland
3. Jordan, who did everything within
people who saw the same say that the
car was running very slowly and that
the boys who We're injured were them
selves at fault, as careful investigation
brings out the fact that they had
been attempting to steal a ride on the
weshbound trolley. A number of boys
who were with them at the time but
who were not injured say they were
trying to steal a ride and rushed by
the car and into the way ST the on
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Ladda of
the Stone Row.

The object of the kings sympathy
proved to be a hawl1er who had in
advertently strayed into one of the
reserved Enclosures, and was being
hustled out with unnecessary violence.
Thanks to the kings Intervention,
she was allowed to remain until aft

FOURTEEN MEN WORK ON
COBRE GRANDE PROPERTY

GLOBE, Sept. 2S.-At the Cobre
Grande property which was purchased
from several Globe people by Wheel
or r Shaw of Boston, Mass, several
months ago, fourteen men are at work
driving two tunnels to crosccut the
two veins in evidence on the claims.
One of these tunnels called the iron
tunnel is about 80 feet long and when
completed will be 62S feet in length.
The face Of the tunnel is in dlapase
containing considerable iron sulphlde'
The Fisher tunnel will eVentually
connect with the shaft already sunk
on the property to q depth Of "a feet.
This tunnel will crosscut two veins
and will gain 300 feet in vertical deptn
bv the time of it's completion. Within
tbe last three or four days this tunnel
has passed into one of the veins Tor
four or FIVE feet and has unearthed
some ore containing much iron ana
chalcopyrite and running from 30 cents
to 50 in gol-. .,..4
When the tunnel has reached point
directly under the bottom of the SHAFT
a. raise will be put up to make a con
nection, this means of connecting the
two having been selected on account
of the prevalence of bad air in the
shaft having necessitated a discon-
tinuance of work in the absence OF
blowers to afford ventilation.

OWNER TAKES BACK LAND
HELD BY BURR BROTHERS
Preston and Takey Withdraw
from CoaIinga AIaddin-Will
Operate Separately

CoALINGA, Sept. 2S.-Alfred Fuhr-
man, owner of the Coalinga Aladdin
property on section 6. has served no.
tice personally upon e. w. Preston that
the Coalinga Aladdin company has for
feited all the lease and personal prop
erty on account of not complying with
the terms of the lease. Preston accept
ed service of the notice in behalf of the
CoaIinga Aladdin, as he is still a dt-
rector of that company.
Preston said he had severed all con-
nection with Burr Bros, and although
he will remain in the oil business, IT
will be on his own hook. lie SAID that
he asked members Of the Burr FAMILY
to come out to Coalinga and straighten
out the tangle into which their compa-
MES had been thrown. but as they re-
fused, he severed his connection with
them. He also said c.. H. ToDey mad
broken away from the Burrs.
Preston said that as he is still an
officer of the Coalinga Aladdin compa-
ny, he accepted the summons of the
owner of the property, Mr. Fuhrman,
and that the matter will be threshed
out in the courts. According to his
statement, the company is only in debt
about $500, but that Burr Bros. have
advanced about $4,000 for the company
since it has been in financial difficulties.
He said that the Burrs have agreed to
let the matter of this sum drop, and
allow the company to sell the personal
property to pay off the $500 Indebted
ness, the balance of the sale price to go
to the stockholders.
Fuhrman claims the Coalinga Aladdin
company and the Burrs have not COM
piled with all of the terms of the lease,
and he intends to hold them to the orig
inal contract. He allowed considerable
latitude so that something could be
done by the stockholders, but now ne
intended that they should not come
upon the property and take anything
from it.
The Aladdin cannot assess the stock
holders without an order of the court,
and as it seems impossible that any
such action will be taken, its affairs
will probably come to an end in very
short time.

WESTERN MINERALS
STRIKES HIGH GRAVITY
Company Operating in San Emil
dio Field Meets with
Great Success

The Western Minerals company, con-
trolled by Fred C. Ripley and asso-
ciates of the Santa Fe, who own about
1000 acres of fine oil land lying di-
rectly southeast of Maricopa and ex-
tending for a distance of about seven
miles in that direction almost to the
San Emidio ranch, report recent
strike of high gravity oil in their well
near the center of section 25-11-2S. at
the extreme southeastern portion of
their large holdings. They have land
ed the 10-inch casing into an oil sand
apparently we'll saturated with fine
light oil testing 81 degrees gravity at
a depth of 1850 feet. This is said to
be the lightest grade of oil ever found
in the Midway -Maricopa fields and 1T
is reported to be one of the finest re-
fining oils that has ever been found in
California.
This is the third oil sand that they
have thus far encountered in the drill
ing of the well. The first sand was
reached at a depth of 1920 feet and
produced a green lubricating oil of l9
gravity, which was used by the COM
pany in its crude state as a cylinder
oil for its engines.
The strike created quite sensation.
The second sand was encountered at
a. depth of 1340 feet containing oil OF
"a gravity and being also lubricant
of a decided greenish cast. The dis
covery of the last or third oil sand,
producing such a light refining oil is
considered quite remarkable and has
started a large sized boom in this dis
trict.
LAND IS SCARCE
Patented lands are scarce and con-
seuuently are held at premium. only

panv acquired valuable properties IN
sections 10, IL and 14-11-23, immedi-

oil company, has acquired valuable
properties i'll sections %, 25-11-23, and

Of the Western Minerals property
They also expect to develop their prop
erty and are quite enthused over their
prospects.
Fred c.. Ripley is also enthusiastic
over the new field and says his com
panv has recently made another strike
of greenish lubricating oil in lts Wen
on section 22-11-23, at a depth of l34O
feet. The superintendent estimates
that when the we'll is placed on tne tne
nunp it will produce from rs to 100
barrels of oil a day.

BELIEVES DEAL WILL BE MADE

BAKERSFIELD, Sept. 2S.-A mem
Der of the executive committee of the
Agency was in Bakersfield Tuesday
and stated that in his belief the deal
between the Associated and that or
ganization would be made, and soon.
He pointed to the sudden rise in the
price of Associated stock, due to inside
buying, and Mr.. Herrin's trip east as
significant matter indicating satisfac-
tion with the terms, and insisted fur
ther that the Associated is short or
oil and must have it. While refusing
to give an inkling as to the nature or
the deal he admitted that an agree
ment has practically been reached
which will result to the advantage
of both organizations. They're a
hard crowd to deal with, but our posi-
tion is strong-weve got the oil"
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-24

to the authorities frankly, with clean
hands, openly and above board, yield
ing to the rule of the square deal as
we'll as asking that it be yielded to.
Above all, if they are wise, they will
not waste their efforts and exhaust
themselves combating and contesting
that which is bound to occur. Rather,
they will lead and direct and thus
mold and modify conservation to suit
their own conditions,
