One or two made their escape, Rafino in particular, started to run, a bullet was sent flying at his feet to stop him but the effect seemed to be to accelerate his speed and it may be he is still running.

Phillips, aged 22, was the son of George Phillips of Fullerton. Tuesday morning he went bathing on the bay side at Bay City, and it is believed that he was taken with cramps while in the channel. He came up but once before he finally sank from sight. It is believed that the tide carried the body out to sea. Transfer of Districts The Board of Supervisors has transferred the Seventh and Eighth precincts of Santa Ana from the Fifth Supervisorial district to the First, which puts all of Santa Ana into one district. New precincts are to be formed in Fullerton and Huntington Beach. Yorba Linda and Cypress will have one precinct each. The Magnolia precinct, formed out of what was once part of Stanton, was transferred to the third district. Owing to the rapid growth of the county, 12 or 15 new precincts must be formed. Oil Sand at Olive Drillers in the wildcat well at Olive today ran into a fine oil sand strata at a depth of about 2,500 feet, with a flow of gas, and the workmen are confident that they will strike oil soon. The well is being drilled on land leased from the Jotham Bixby Company in new territory, several miles and across the mouth of the Santa Ana Canyon from the proven Olinda field. Both the Standard and the Union have been making efforts to lease near-by land, and the Standard has succeeded in getting four or five leases. Natural Gas For Santa Ana The Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce is considering the advisability of establishing a municipal gas plant and also the advisability of bringing natural gas from the Brea and Olinda oil wells to Santa Ana. The matter was brought up at a meeting of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday night. The municipal plant was suggested as a remedy for dissatisfaction with the size of gas bills. W. A. Zimmerman, president of the Orange County Savings and Trust Company, Attorney H. J. Forgy, and J. C. Metzgar, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, were named as a committee to investigate the feasibility of proceeding toward getting a municipal plant. The question of bringing natural gas to Santa Ana was discussed. The committee is to get as much information as possible upon the matter, including information as to the supply and possibility of making arrangements to get the gas. After a Bandit Under Sheriff George Law, County Jailer Dean, Deputy Sheriff O. H. Schumacher and Constables M. Bois-square miles, divided into 58 counties, each of which contains mineral deposits of some description. Working along the same progressive lines, Mr. Hamilton has recently caused the complete remodeling of the offices of the California State Mining Bureau, located on the third floor of the Ferry building, San Francisco. The bureau library contains over 5,000 volumes, including the latest works relative to every branch of the mineral industry, as well as reference maps of various counties, geological folios, mineral and oil maps; etc. A laboratory is also maintained for the free determination of minerals and ores discovered in the state. During the past year 10,000 persons have taken advantage of this service and in many cases have been materially helped in economically exploiting mineral properties in which they have been interested. Not the least inter- Drivers in the wildcat well at Olinda today ran into a fine oil sand strata at a depth of about 2,500 feet, with a flow of gas, and the workmen are confident that they will strike oil soon. The well is being drilled on land leased from the Jotham Bixby Company in new territory, several miles and across the mouth of the Santa Ana Canyon from the proven Olinda field. Both the Standard and the Union have been making efforts to lease near-by land, and the Standard has succeeded in getting four or five leases. Odd Fellows' Building The Odd Fellows of Fullerton have decided to begin the erection of a $10,000 two-story brick building on their East Commonwealth avenue lot this fall and report that a lot of the stock has already been subscribed at $10 a share. A corporation will be formed at once to take the work in charge. The building will have a frontage of 50 feet and a depth of 100 or 125 feet and will be modern in every detail. The upper floor will be used exclusively for lodge purposes and the first floor for a large store-room. Bungled Burglary Early Wednesday morning someone attempted to burglarize Marshal Vincent's house here. About 3 o'clock, Mr. Vincent was awakened by a person trying to gain entrance to his bedroom through the window. In turning to get his pistol, he scared the man, who dropped back on the outside and ran. By the time the marshal got outside the man had vanished leaving, to tell of his visit, foot-prints and finger-prints. The foot-prints were followed later in the morning and traced across the back of lots to where some Mexicans live and from there to the residence of W. A. Double and back to the Vincent residence. Wanted It Bad Risking the penitentiary for morphine, Arthur W. Paine of Los Angeles Sunday night forged the name of Dr. H. S. Gordon of Santa Ana to a prescription for 30 grains of the stuff. Paine came here yesterday and attempted to get four different physicians to give him a prescription. Failing, he resorted to forgery. He went to Mateer's drug store and presented the blank stolen from Dr. Gordon's office and filled out by himself. When Mateer started to telephone, Paine ran. Two clerks gave chase and with dozens of others joining in, they ran the man down and caught him four blocks away. Paine says he used opium seven years and six months ago began using morphine. Defective Fumigation MINERAL WEALTH OF CALIFORNIA $100,000,000 Is the Value of Output For the Past Year One hundred millions of dollars is the production of mineral in California every year. State Mineralogist Hamilton has just issued a report showing the mineral wealth of the state which is replete with information that is most interesting. The report follows: The production of California's oil wells, mines and quarries reaches an annual value of between $90,000,000 and $100,000,000. While it is commonly recognized that the mineral industry was responsible for the early development of the state, the general public is inclined to think that the "days of gold" refer to something in the indefinite past. As a matter of fact the industry is greater today than every branch of the mineral industry, as well as reference maps of various counties, geological folios, mineral and oil maps, etc. A laboratory is also maintained for the free determination of minerals and ores discovered in the state. During the past year 10,000 persons have taken advantage of this service and in many cases have been materially helped in economically exploiting mineral properties in which they have been interested. Not the least interesting and instructive department of the mining bureau is the great museum of mineral specimens. Displayed in accessible glass cases over a floor space of 7,500 square feet are to be seen 20,000 specimens, arranged to show the mineral to the best advantage, and also indicating the particular section of the state in which it was discovered. The equipment which is at the service of the public in the quarters of the state mining bureau, together with the field work which has herewith been briefly described, will be of unquestioned benefit in futhering the mineral industry in California. The Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce may start a movement to establish a municipal gas plant in Santa Ana. Thursday night, W. A. Zimmerman, president of the Orange County Savings and Trust Company, Attorney H. J. Forgy, and J. C. Metzger were appointed a committee to make a report upon the feasibility of starting the movement, and upon the advisability of bringing natural gas to Santa Ana from the oil fields at Olinda and Brea. The height of a girl's ambition is seldom less than 5 feet 6. lians to give him a prescription. Falling, he resorted to forgery. He went to Mateer’s drug store and presented the blank stolen from Dr. Gordon’s office and filled out by himself. When Mateer started to telephone, Paine ran. Two clerks gave chase and with dozens of others joining in, they ran the man down and caught him four blocks away. Paine says he used opium seven years and six months ago began using morphine. Defective Fumigation County Horticultural Commissioner Bishop was in the Placentia district last week inspecting a number of groves before and after fumigation and finds much of the work done here unsatisfactory. In fact, it is reported that he has said that the Placentia district was the worst in this respect and much of the fumigation done in the past had been of little effect, as the wrong methods and materials had made it practically worthless. As a result, the groves were now in pretty bad shape, and it was necessary for owners of infected groves to get busy and see that fumigation work hereafter was effective. Work done by Hugh DeBerry, using the Woglum system, was commended as effective, and he advised the adoption of this system by others. Same Old Trouble Once more there has been an outbreak between Charles Free, blacksmith at San Juan Capistrano, and G. H. Marshall, owner of the garage in the same village. This time Free was taken to jail after having leveled a rifle across lots at Marshall and after threatening to kill him. Free did not fire the rifle. He may have only contemplated what would happen if he should pull the trigger. Under Sheriff Law and Deputies Dean and Stacey went to the mission town on a telephone notification that there was trou- OTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER more patients to us.
