THIRTEEN HURT WHEN TRAM CAR COLLIDES WITH ELECTRIC TRAIN
Wet Rails Cause Crash In Los Angeles—Brakes and Sand Fail To Stop Speeding Interurban.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28.—Thirteen persons were injured and rushed to the receiving hospital here today following a collision between an interurban electric train and a street car. The crash occurred at Seventh and San Pedro streets. An incoming Long Beach train, unable to stop at the intersection because of wet rails, crashed into a Stephenson avenue car and almost cut it in two. The wrecked street car was whirled completely around and fell on its side.
"I could see that we were going to hit the street car," Motorman A. T. Meyhoffer said at police headquarters, where an investigation of the accident is under way. "I jammed on the brakes, but because of the recent rain and slippery rails, we shot ahead at the same speed. I applied the sand, but even that didn't check us."

LONG BEACH MUNICIPAL OIL WELL COMES IN ON SIGNAL HILL
A new oil well came in on Signal Hill last night.
It was not cause for rejoicing for a group of stockholders of a big corporation, but tidings of gladness to an entire city. It means, say those who say they know, that Long Beach is soon to discard the title "Queen of the Beaches" for that of "Taxless Town."
The well, which shows a production of from 500 to 1000 barrels of the black gold a day, belongs to the city of Long Beach. It is the first municipally owned producing oil well in the world, it is asserted, and proves that the territory being developed by the city is "pay dirt" and that in a short time many holes in the ground will be pouring money into the city treasury.
Ramsey Municipal No. 1 is the well's official title and it has been drilled to a depth of 3181 feet. Since Friday balling has been in progress and those in charge were in a position to place the gusher under control as soon as necessary. Just one big splash as the gas pressure forced the fluid over the top of the derrick. The waiting cap was quickly put in place and the gusher was under control.
The newest producer on Signal Hall is just 200 feet from the Shell Company's Alamitos No. 1, which was the first producer in that territory.
The city owns many acres in the immediate vicinity and its officials have every reason to believe that in the near future scores of producers will be in operation. The city has a contract with Ramsey Brothers, who have been doing the drilling and will share Pleading guilty to the charges of selling intoxicating liquors and keeping a place where liquor was sold. F. L. Bradley, proprietor of the filling station at the corner of County road and West Center street, Anaheim, was given his choice of $200 or 200 days in jail on each count.
Bradley was in jail today pending the success of his effort to raise the fine. He was taken Saturday evening by Sheriff C. E. Jackson and his deputies, who purchased liquor from Bradley as evidence.

Preacher to Get Rich From Well at Beach Town
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Nov. 28.—When the Rev. Byron H. Wilson, Methodist minister, invested his savings or many years in a four-acre tract of land at Huntington Beach, he hoped to prepare a home place for his declining years, where he could "putter around" and have congenial occupation for himself outdoors.
But oil derricks came to Huntington Beach and the minister was not averse to receiving his share of the golden petroleum, so he executed a lease to the Argonaut Oil Company, which began drilling.
A few days ago this well, known as Wilson No. 1, was "brought in," but did nothing startling, and only "opened up" on Saturday, when it began flowing at the rate of 1000 barrels a day. As a result Rev. Wilson's oil income is approximately $300.

Silverware Stolen
Among things missed were two table cloths, silver set, lavailier and suitcase belonging to Miss Beulah Smith, a new suit of clothes belonging to U. S. Amack, a dress, a skirt, a smock.

DEATH OF COSTA MESA BABIES IS MYSTERY TO PHYSICIANS
Repeated laboratory tests covering a wide range of experiments, embracing collaboration on the part of county health officials, have failed to determine the cause of intestinal inflammation diagnosed as enteritis which caused the deaths recently of two children of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Wygant of Costa Mesa.
According to Dr. Harry Zaiser, superintendent of the Orange County hospital, no further efforts will be made to solve the mystery, as he stated that all within the power of the county authorities had been done.
The first death in the Wygant family occurred about two weeks ago, at which time Alice 3 years old, was the victim. Lettie, 19 months old, was the second one to be stricken, dying at the County hospital a week ago. Other members of the Wygant family who have been receiving treatment at the county hospital, were removed to their home Saturday morning. Dr. Zaiser said that their condition was such that no further alarm was felt.
