Westminster, Garden Grove and Buena Park residents are keenly interested in pioneer oil work that is going on in those sections. At between 1700 and 1750 the Westminster Oil company struck quite a showing of gas. The gas seemed to carry a peculiar odor not like that of petroleum. The formation as near as can be learned is a hard lime stone. Drilling is going nicely and the progress is very interesting. The Standard Oil company is setting boilers and rigging up on Chafee No. 1 at Garden Grove. Drilling will be under way in a week. It will only be a few days now until the Petroleum Midway will be drilling on its test well at Buena Park. The boilers are set and the rigging up is pretty well completed. The Petroleum Midway is entitled to success on the venture. Any company is, that will go out several miles from production and start a wildcat. Fullerton high school literally ran away from all other schools of the county in the annual forensic contests Leslie S. Everts, of San Diego, district governor of the Rotary clubs of California, formally presented Anaheim Rotary club with its charter last Wednesday at a charmingly-appointed luncheon in the banquet hall of the Masonic temple, served by the Eastern Star.

Drake laid his finger on the map and asked what the circle meant. "That is a knoll," Corcoran replied. "That is an oil dome," said Drake. "I know it for I have been all over the ground and have seen different kinds of dirt showing formation which the squirrels brought to the surface and it is the same formation exactly, as that of Signal Hill at Long Beach," declared Drake, adding, "I should have purchased the dome bafor I told you, because you will probably raise the price on it now." Corcoran stated that he had refused some tempting offers to lease the tract for oil, but he preferred to sell it for home sites rather than have it spoiled with oil derricks. Money has been deposited for several pieces of the tract already, Corcoran said, and he is only waiting for the trustees to approve the plat. Fullerton high school literally ran away from all other schools of the county in the annual forensic contests held at Santa Ana last Saturday, winning three of five medals. The Freshman, Senior and team medals all were won by the Fullerton competitors, the latter for the first time since the contests have been held. Lillian Trow bridge was the Freshman representative for Fullerton and ran up a score of 191 points out of a possible 200. Her nearest competitor was a Santa Ana representative, who made 184. In the Sophomore declamations, Miss Zada Smith, of Fullerton, was not so fortunate, for although she was only 16 points behind the winner with a score of 265 out of a possible 300, fourth place was all she won. Dale Moore, of Fullerton, took second place in the Junior ranks with his essay on apples, his score being 275. The best work of the day was done by Ruth Dowling in the Senior oration. Miss Dowling's work was so well done that she easily won with the remarkable score of 296 out of a possible 300. All through the day Orange pressed Fullerton hard for team honors, but Fullerton's speakers proved to be too good, and F. U. H. S. copped the team medal with a total of 1027 points. Orange was next with 1012 points to their credit. FOUND—One black filly. Shod all around; weight about 1000 pounds. J. L. Sutton, Hynes, Calif., Montana Ranch. TUESDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY FALKENSTEIN'S D OF THE MONTH SALES Be Sure to Attend Be Sure to Attend PLANNING FOR GREAT RUSH OF BUSINESS County Clerk Expects June Marriages to Break All Records With the advent of June the marriage license bureau is slated to be the most popular department of the court house. County Clerk J. M. ("Cupid") Backs and his deputies are prepared for the grand rush. June invariably brings in a record number of prospective brides and grooms and the recorder's office as well as the county clerk's office is kept busy on details incident to the issuance of the licenses. The greatest number of marriage licenses issued in any one month were passed out in June of last year when Cupid rang up a total of 187. Whether this record will be broken in June of this year is a matter of conjecture, but indications point to a good harvest. According to County Clerk Backs, there has been an unusual demand for marriage licenses this month, despite the fact that some of the brides-elect entertain the superstition that they will have ill luck if they wed in May. "It is hardly necessary for the young man seeking a marriage license to tell us what he is after," said County Clerk Backs. "We can guess nine times out of ten. But to spare the prospective bridegroom any embarrassment we wait until he makes his request. Of course, it would be impolite and a bit indiscreet to hand a man an application for a license before he declares himself." The prospective groom can be recognized at a glance. He usually enters the county clerk's office a few paces ahead of his intended bride. After making sure he is in the right office he steps back into the corridor and beckons to the fair one. She follows him in with a blush on her face. The young man is handed an application blank and the couple sit down at a desk with ed on the stand Monday morning. He stated that he met O'Day last July and opened negotiations for an interest in mining claims near El Toro. He said that he gave O'Day $200 December 6, last, $250 December 31 and $130 January 3, last. According to McMillan, he understood that these payments were to go to Mr. and Mrs. James W. Hunter, of Los Angeles, for an interest they had in the property. McMillan said that in his original contract with O'Day he understood that he was to have a 50 per cent interest in a quartz mine. He said he understood that he was to get other persons interested in the mine and that these persons were to put up money for a patent and survey of the land. "Didn't you offer Mrs. O'Day money for a quit claim deed to the lands involved in this litigation and agree to drop the proceedings if she would either give you a deed or induce her husband to do so" asked Attorney Cruzan. "I certainly did not," said McMillan. "Didn't you enter into a conspiracy with two other men to get possession of the El Toro claims, which you wanted for oil purposes," he was asked. "No, sir, I did not." Cruzan sought to show that McMillan is trying to perfect a title to the property under the quartz mine claim act—and that he had brought the court action against O'Day as a means of accomplishing this. McMillan flatly denied that there was any mention of oil in the original contract between himself and O'Day. All of the charges hinting at an alleged conspiracy were objected to by Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mosley, but allowed to go into the records by Justice of the Peace Cox after some argument. McMillan said that in his original agreement with O'Day he was delegated to sell 24 interests in the mining tract for $500 each, the money now until the Petroleum Midsuccess on the venlis, that will go out production and school literally ran for schools of the forensic contests last Saturday, windals.

Calif., Montana hURL PLOT CHARGES Charges of conspiracy and "trame-up" were hurled in the justice court at Santa Ana by H. I. Cruzan and A. D. Laughlin, attorneys for J. W. O'Day, aged mining man of Los Angeles, when he was brought before the court for preliminary hearing on a joint charge of embezzling $500 and obtaining money under false pretenses. The attorneys for O'Day declared that Milton McMillan, of Anaheim, the complaining witness, has entered into a conspiracy with two or three other men to get possession of certain mining claims near El Toro, which O'Day says he is promoting. The attorneys assert that McMillan, who is an oil worker, wants the land for oil drilling purposes and that he made his original contracts with O'Day with that end in view. McMillan was the only witness plac- McMillan natly denied that there was any mention of oil in the original contract between himself and O'Day. All of the charges hinting at an alleged conspiracy were objected to by Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mosley, but allowed to go into the records by Justice of the Peace Cox after some argument. McMillan said that in his original agreement with O'Day he was delegated to sell 24 interests in the mining tract for $500 each, the money to be paid on the installment plan with $25 as the initial payment. The case was finally dismissed. Steps may be taken by Orange county authorities to deport Fernandez Rivas, a Mexican, who was found guilty in the justice court of a battery charge preferred by Deputy Sheriff J. H. Deck. According to Justice of the Peace Cox the Mexican is a dangerous character. Cox does not believe Rivas should be turned loose. Judge Cox continued the pronouncing of judgment to May31, at which time it is understood the deportation of the Mexican will be considered. While working in Orange county park with a ball and chain tied to his feet Rivas became angered at Deputy Sheriff Deck. Picking up the iron ball he threw it at Deck. When the chain straightened the momentum of the ball jerked Rivas' feet from under him. Rivas picked himself up and then proceeded to batter Deputy Deck with his fist. He was finally subdued by Deck and Deputy C. M. Wood. Rivas also attempted to fight Deputy Shero Theo. Lacy in the county jail. The home of Noah Reed, on Emily street, was ransacked by burglars on Monday night, but the thieves left before securing anything of much value,
