It was brought in at a depth of 3,245 feet, and is near the No. 2 well of the Petroleum Company. The oil is about 23 gravity. The well came in recently with an output of about 800 barrels, but afterward increased. The Standard’s Emory wel INo. 1 in the Coyote Hills has been flowing off and on at the rate of about 600 barrels a day.

To a number of intimate friends she announced her engagement to William Humbert, a prosperous young Arizona rancher. The wedding will occur in July. Miss Bailey is a native of this city and has many friends here who join in extending felicitations over the coming happy event. For some years past she has resided with her family at Phoenix and was also for some time a resident of Mazatlan, Mexico, in both of which places she had many suitors for her hand.

Hitchcock as administrators of the estate of Mary Blanche Braley, deceased, denying their claim that said estate has an interest in lots 45, 46, 47 and 48, block 30, townsite of Fullerton. The defense has also filed its answer disputing the claims made by Dean and insisting upon their claim. Petition For Probate Petition was filed in the superior court Monday morning for the probate of the will of the late Augusta Richter, who died in Lavaca county, Texas, May 7, 1896. The administrator of the estate has just discovered that she has property worth about $100 located in this county, and Public Administrator Winbigler has been requested to act as administrator of the estate here. Water Company Incorporates Articles of incorporation of the Dawn Water Company were filed in the superior court at Santa Ana on Monday. The incorporators are J. A. Nunn, R. J. Thompson and Harry W. Lewis. The capital stock is $10,000 of which amount each of the incorporators have subscribed $300. It is stated that the concern proposes to develop, acquire, distribute and sell water for irrigation purposes. Sustains Demurrer again issuing worthless paper, and these reports were corroborated by complaints being sworn to by Joe Jost and F. W. West of San Diego. Dierksen was taken into custody and returned to the county jail at Santa Ana. In a last ineffectual attempt to save the accused from the impending sentence, his brother-in-law, J. Kellerman, of Fullerton, swore to a complaint charging him with being an inebriate, and a fit subject for commitment to the state hospital at Patton. Judge West refused to give this complaint serious attention. Attorney Davis made an appeal for further mercy and leniency for Dierksen, but the court thought that the prisoner had shown poor appreciation of the clemency already extended him, and sentenced him to serve the suspended sentence of seven years in the state penitentiary. Dierksen was originally arrested for passing a worthless check for $50 upon County Auditor Lester. Fight in Jail With Maniac Deputy Sheriffs Law, Dean and Ramsey, together with Louis Heffner of Santa Ana, had a battle on Monday morning in the jail at Los Alamitos with a maniac, who had been taken into custody by Deputy Ramsey of that place. The unfortunate man is G. E. Gorthey, a rancher who resided with his wife about a mile northeast of Los Alamitos. He is a tall, muscular man of less than 50 years of age. His queer antics were reported to the authorities and Deputy Ramsey placed him in the town jail and notified Sheriff Ruddock. When Law, Dean and Heffner reached the place, they found that Gorthey had taken two big blankets and tied them through the cell bars and to the cell door so that they found it impossible to enter, as the prisoner was also armed with a penknife which he thrust through the cloth at them with incredible rapidity. Somebody also started the report that the maniac had a revolver and so the officers withdrew for consultation. After much maneuvering they succeeded in cutting the blankets out and W. A. Dean and family have arrived from Custer county, Nebraska, and are located with the former's relatives on the T. W. Dean ranch west of Anaheim. Mr. Dean is a brother-in-law of W. J. Montgomery, a former well known citizen of this place, now 'of San Juan. He will purchase a ranch here and become a permanent resident of the community. He states that nearly everybody in Custer county who can get away is hitting the trail for California. Among his relatives who are in Southern California from Nebraska are Roy McMurtry, Arthur Cross and Mrs. I. D. Doty. They are at present located in Los Angeles, but will shortly remove here and locate. Ralph Modjeska, of Chicago, was in town last week, a guest of Mrs. C. Langerberger, who was for many years a warm personal friend of his mother's, the late Madame Modjeska. The two ladies formed an attachment for one another on arrival here of the distinguished tragedienne more than 40 years ago, and this friendship subsisted until the death of Modjeska at her island home at Balboa four years ago. Mr. Modjeska is one of the leading bridge builders of the country, and is overseeing engineer of a $1,500,000 structure spanning the Columbia river near Portland, Ore. He is also overseeing engineer of two large bridges now in course of erection at Quebec and Montreal. He came west to inspect the Portland bridge which is now nearing completion, and came to this city to pay a visit to Mrs. Langenberger and other old-time friends of his family. He departed for the north first of the week. Since Modjeska's death, her husband, Count Bozenta, is living at his old home at Cracow.

Oster of San Bernardino, who recently presided in Santa Ana for Judge West, in the case of Malcolm Baxter, Jr., against Charles A. Boege et al., was filed Monday morning with the county clerk. The judge sustains the demurrer of the plaintiff to an action begun by the defendants to nullify his claim to certain property valued at about $2,500. It was held that Baxter had bought in good faith. Light Plant in Trouble The Newport Beach electric light plant is now being run by Sheriff Ruddock. An attachment was served on the plant to satisfy a claim of $930 for fuel oil by the Continental Refineries Company of Los Angeles. Willard O'Howell of Newport Beach, was appointed custodian. O'Howell charged that the Ghriests, proprietors of the plant, assaulted him when he attempted to take charge, and that one of them threw a padlock at him, striking him on the hand. Saturday evening Deputy Sheriff George Law arrived on the scene and ordered Ghriest and his son to stay off the premises and put Will Joplin, son of treasurer of Orange county, in charge of the plant. The city of Newport Beach last fall voted $25,000 in bonds to buy the plant, but Ghriest sought to enjoin the sale of the bonds in the superior court. An appeal to the appellate court is now pending. Meanwhile the city trustees are negotiating with the big power companies for "juice," and if a contract is signed up distributing system will be built out of the general fund.

Mr. Branagan has deposited for his company a certified check of $1,000 as a forfeit that a factory costing not less than $15,000 will be in operation within 18 months. The factory will employ about 180 people, the most of whom will draw high salaries. The Townsend-Vanderwater Company of Long Beach, owner of the Newport mesa land, sells the 10-acre site to the Branagan Company for $2,000, in consideration of the establishment of the plant. The site is on the west side of the county road, near the mouth of the Santa Ana river. The Branagan Glass Company now has a small factory in operation at 33rd street and Grand avenue, Los Angeles, but will move the workmen to Newport Beach as soon as possible.
