ABRAN AGUILAR BERRY WALL OF MEXICANS (Continued from page 1.) the city on the evening train and with local officers repaired to Aguilar's house at Placentia, only to find him gone. They watched his house all night, but he failed to return. His wife's parents had gone to Los Angeles to be with their daughter. The house was entered and a minute search for Aguilar made. When dawn came, and he was nowhere to be seen the Los Angeles detectives were positive in their declarations that he was the man they were after. Aguilar had driven from his ranch the afternoon before toward the Olive mill intending to procure a load of barley with which to sow his field. He drove several miles on the way and camped for the night, getting an early start the next morning. While driving quietly along the road, a half dozen officers from Los Angeles and other points came upon him and placed him under arrest. “What do you want me for?” he asked as he brought his team of horses to a stop. “You killed your wife in Los Angeles yesterday,” one of the officers informed him, “and we want you to come along with us.” “My wife killed? Is that so? I have not seen her in two months.” He was placed under arrest. His horses were unhitched and tied to the wagon as it stood in the roadway and he was brought to this city. When word reached Los Angeles of his arrest, a mob of 10,000 people gathered killed a man in this city, did time in the penitentiary and was himself slain at a Mexican dance at Olive. When Abran was brought to this city under arrest, Chapo came in and was at his side, and announced that if a mob wanted to take his brother, there would be all kinds of things doing. Chapo was heavily armed and accompanied his brother into Los Angeles. He told many members of the Mexican colony in town that his brother was innocent, but his words made little impression upon them. Everybody thought Abran was guilty, and many of his former friends entertained the notion that a conspiracy existed to railroad him to prison. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR 1913 CONVENTION Largest Attendance Ever Recorded Will Probably Be Present Next Month One hundred speakers, representing 25 denominations in the United States, Canada, Australia, England, China, Japan, and India, with a large delegation of native Hawaiians, will furnish the program for the Twenty-sixth International Christian Endeavor Convention, to meet in Los Angeles July 9-14, 1913. No hall in the city could accommodate the crowds that attend these conventions, so the committee, with characteristic Western enterprise, leased Fiesta Park, a private park covering a city square, and will roof it over with a canvas covering, making two great auditoriums that will accommodate 20,000 people. In addition, sectional and simultaneous meetings will be held in the Temple Auditorium and 20 churches. There will be 26 conferences in all, each under an expert leader. Noon meetings to reach the business “You killed your wife in Los Angeles yesterday,” one of the officers informed him, “and we want you to come along with us.” “My wife killed? Is that so? I have not seen her in two months.” He was placed under arrest. His horses were unhitched and tied to the wagon as it stood in the roadway and he was brought to this city. When word reached Los Angeles of his arrest, a mob of 10,000 people gathered at the railroad station to take Aguilar and hang him. The city had been shocked at thought of his wife’s murder, and was electrified at reports of his attempted escape and final arrest. Aguilar was taken to Los Angeles, but the officers left the train some miles out of town to elude the mob which surged about the railroad station. He was placed in jail and during the night a mob threatened to demolish the structure and lynch him. Aguilar at first refused to entertain the idea of hiring a lawyer to defend him, but finally consented to do so. He was kept in jail several weeks, when Governor Gage succeeded in releasing him. Aguilar had a brother named Chapo, a powerful man, shorter of stature than his brother. Chapo was well known throughout the country as a gunfigher and bad man. His associates knew him, however, as a hardworking and industrious Mxeican who supported his widowed mother. When Chapo was sober, no better Mexican could be found in the country, when in his cups, he was a dangerous man, especially to those against whom he entertained ill feelings. He shot and “How Did The Bird Know that”—This is the store for your vacation needs? Motor Truck Vs. Horses. The most profitable investment that we ever made was our motor truck. About the third day we had our motor truck, about two and one-half years ago, we made over half a dozen deliveries consisting of as many loads and traveled about 100 miles and when night set in we were up with our deliveries. Had we continued to do this in the old way it would have taken about four days to have caught up with our deliveries. As soon as we installed our I. H. C. auto truck we more than doubled our territory and made 15 and 20 miles as readily with it as we did four or five before with horses. The grocer, hardware merchant, implement dealer, etc., who still cling to horses, are moss backs and certainly far behind the times, and you will find that such dealers are notventions, so the committee, with characteristic Western enterprise, leased Fiesta Park, a private park covering a city square, and will roof it over with a canvas covering, making two great auditoriums that will accommodate 20,000 people. In addition, sectional and simultaneous meetings will be held in the Temple Auditorium and 20 churches. There will be 26 conferences in all, each under an expert leader. Noon meetings to reach the business men of the city will be held in the Temple Auditorium, to consider such topics as “Christianity’s Solution of Civic Conditions” and of the problems of “Capital and Labor”; also the “Supreme Spiritual Message of Our Day.” It is expected, if official duties do not prevent, that one of the speakers will be Hon. William J. Bryan, Secretary of State. Following the Los Angeles convention, the next great event will be the World’s Christian Endeavor Convention in Sydney, Australia, March 9-19, 1914. Arrangements have been made for the American delegation to sail from San Francisco January 22. The trip will include a tour of the leading cities of New Zealand and Australia, where great welcome meetings and receptions will be held. A visit to the principal cities of South Africa, and the return via England, is included in a five months’ trip that can be made for less than a thousand dollars. The shorter trip to Australia and direct return will cost less than seven hundred dollars. A general invitation is extended to Christian people to join the party. Full information can be secured by applying to H. N. Lathrop, Tremont Temple, Boston, Mass.

AMALGAMATED GAS TO SUPPLY LOS ANGELES WELLS IN LA HABRA RESERVOIR SITE WILL DEVELOP ABUNDANT SUPPLY PIPELINE TO BE CONSTRUCTED FOR TRANSMISSION OF GAS TO ANGELIC CITY Natural gas brought to Los Angeles from Midway is to be supplemented by a supply from the fields in and around La Habra valley. The Southern California Gas Company has bought 5,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas produced daily by oil wells of the Amalgamated Oil Company, and whatever amount may be added to this by further development. It is also negotiating for more from other companies in La Habra valley, Coyote hills, Brea canyon and Olinda, but as to how far these negotiations have gone, nothing is given out. The gas people and the oil men, who have been seen, say that any statement now would be premature. The purchase of the Amalgamated's gas is, however, confirmed. The gas company has just received authority from the State Railroad Commission to issue $750,000 in bonds to pay for the development of gas in the Orange county district, according to the official statement filed. The plans call for an 8-inch pipe-line to Los Angeles and a compressor station in the field to furnish motor power to transmit the gas a distance of about 20 miles. Midway gas is carried the 160 miles to Los Angeles by its own pressure at the well, but comes from huge flowing wells producing only gas, and the pressure is terrific at the mouth of IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Griffith Lumber Co. Brings Sult Another phase of the troubles incidental to the failure of the National Home & Town Builders to make payments on the Honey tract property at Orange turned up in the superior court on Thursday when the Griffith Lumber Company brought suit on a mechanics' lien. Judgment for $143.05 and interest and fees are asked in the complaint. The lien was filed after material had been furnished Elmer J. Martin, who secured a lot under the National Home & Town Builders' plan. That firm has turned its affairs over to the Union Building Investment Company of Los Angeles, which company is also named as a defendant. Mrs. Clarissa Honey is a defendant. Asks Heavy Damages For Injuries Declaring that the defendants are responsible for a runaway that occurred on June 12, 1912, C. F. Hunsinger brought suit for $10,350 against the Los Angeles Paving Company, E. R. Werdin and the City of Orange. According to the complaint, on June 12, 1912, a concrete mixer was standing on Maple avenue, Orange, and had been standing there for some time. It is alleged that the city officials had been notified that the huge machine was a menace in that it was likely to frighten horses. Hunsinger's horse became frightened, and Hunsinger was thrown out in the runaway that followed, with the result that he sustained a compound fracture of one ankle. It is stated that his injuries are such that he will never again be able to perform the same labor he did before he was hurt. Irrigating Co.

Estimates authority from the State Railroad Commission to issue $750,000 in bonds to pay for the development of gas in the Orange county district, according to the official statement filed. The plans call for an 8-inch pipe-line to Los Angeles and a compressor station in the field to furnish motor power to transmit the gas a distance of about 20 miles. Midway gas is carried the 160 miles to Los Angeles by its own pressure at the well, but comes from huge flowing wells producing only gas, and the pressure is terrific at the mouth of the well. The Amalgamated gas is from oil wells. The pressure is sufficient to produce a number of flowing oil wells, but not sufficient to carry the gas to the city. In the districts named above there is produced daily not less than 15,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas, all of the best quality. With the exception of that which is burned for fuel in the development and pumping of wells, at the Standard and Union Oil companies' pipe-line pumping stations, the Union's refinery at Steward station, and for domestic purposes in the towns of Brea and Olinda, all this has been wasted, either in its entirety, or as to what remains after the extraction of gasoline in some cases. The extraction of the gasoline does not impair the value of the gas for fuel purposes in the least and the Amalgamated's is to be treated before transmission to Los Angeles, and so will practically all that is taken there. The Midway gas does not, as a rule, contain enough gasoline to make extraction profitable and no attempt to utilize it in this way has yet been made. The Amalgamated gas, on the other hand, is mostly rich in gasoline. The chief producers of gas, besides the Amalgamated Oil Company, are the Murphy, Birch, Brea Canyon Puente, Fullerton and Columbia Consolidated oil companies and the Santa Fe Railroad Company. Besides this there is some produced on all the other properties and new wells are adding to the amount every day. The Union Oil Company has a large gas production in this field but uses all of it for development and pumping fuel. The Standard's wells are developing some, too. ANGELES FOREST IS REDUCED IN SIZE 100,000 Acres Eliminated and Thrown Open to Entry by Homesteaders A proclamation signed by the President on May 27 cuts approximately runaway that followed, with the result that he sustained a compound fracture of one ankle. It is stated that his injuries are such that he will never again be able to perform the same labor he did before he was hurt. Irrigating Co. Causes Trouble An irrigating ditch is the cause of a neighborhood disagreement at West Anaheim. Carl Rodemeyer was arrested last week on a charge of battery upon G. Meger. Rodemeyer gave $200 cash bail. The differences between Rodemeyer and Meger are set forth in a complaint filed in the superior court by Attorney F. C. Spencer. Rodemeyer, the plaintiff, asserts that in January, 1912, he bought two pieces of land from Meger, one three-fourths of an acre and the other nineteen and a half acres: An irrigating ditch runs between the two tracts and over land belonging to Meger. It is asserted that on June 10 Meger closed the ditch. Rodemeyer took out the obstruction. Meger put it back. Somewhere between these two actions came the alleged battery. The complaint asks that Meger be permanently restrained from closing the ditch in any way, and June 20 is set for hearing on an order to show cause why the restraint should not be given as an order of court. Rodemeyer states that he has a crop of sugar beets growing on the larger tract, and without water his crop will suffer. Dairyman Fined $25 John Cornaggia, dairyman at Old Newport, was found guilty in the township court at Santa Ana of violating the law regulating the manner in which milk shall be disposed of, and fined $25, which he paid. The complaining witnesses were Ray Hasson, deputy state dairy inspector, and Sidney Druce, Los Angeles milk inspector. Both witnesses testified to finding Cornaggia's dairy premises in a filthy condition on the occasion of a recent visit, the barn and yard being ill-kept and very dirty. A cloth alleged to have been used to strain milk and cream through was exhibited in evidence and was in itself a "strong" argument in favor of a change of methods in use at defendant's dairy. Dairy Inspector Druce, who for years has held the office, said that rigid inspection has done much for the cause of cleanliness in dairies throughout this and Los Angeles counties, as only occasionally is it now necessary to bring dairymen into court in order to make them obey the law. "It has proven a great educational force," said Mr. Druce, "and the majority of cases of infraction of the law nowadays are due to ignorance, as very nearly every ANGELES FOREST IS REDUCED IN SIZE 100,000 Acres Eliminated and Thrown Open to Entry by Homesteaders A proclamation signed by the President on May 27 cuts approximately 100,000 acres from the Angeles National Forest of Southern California. The area was commended for elimination by the Forest Service after a careful examination of the ground. The land is located on the north side of the forest, in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. The altitudes vary from 2,900 to 7,000 feet. At the higher elevation the country is steep and rough, but farther down slopes in gently-rolling hills and bench lands to the Mojave desert. The Angeles forest is chiefly valuable for watershed protection to the south and west, but the lands eliminated are on the other side of the range and therefore of no value in this respect, according to the report of the Forest Service. A considerable portion of the tract consists of fairly level ground. The soil is a good sandy loam. It is the opinion of the examiners that it has only a small value for forest purposes. A number of homesteaders have already applied for land under the forest homestead act of June 11, 1906. About 14 per cent of the tract is already in private hands and the proportion of listed land, the forest officers say, is being added to almost daily. MEETING OF PRESBYTERY Harold Pellegrin to Be Ordained in Local Church Next Sunday The Presbytery of Los Angeles will meet for its mid-summer session with the local Presbyterian church next Tuesday, June 24, at 10 o'clock.
