The purchasers have capital of more than $1,000,000 behind them and will start drilling within 60 days. The deal involves upwards of $200,000.

Woodward, president; Cahles W Peters, secretary; Vincent K. Chandler, treasurer; and H. H. Hammond. Ames & McFadden are the attorneys.

The accident happened this morning in the Spurgeon building, and the boy's brother, Gordon, 16, was operating the elevator. The brother intended to have Willard take over the work, and was teaching him how to operate. They tried to make a landing, and the elevator came only to within a couple of feet of the floor. Thereupon Gordon said he would ascend again and try landing a second time, with Willard watching him. He told Willard to get out and wait for him. Willard did so, but at the last instant changed his mind and tried to dart thru the doors. He didn't quite succeed and was caught between the floor and the machine. One rib was fractured, four others pulled from the spinal column, one collar bone broken and many bruises caused before the elevator could be stopped and the boy extricated. He may also have internal injuries. The two are school boys and were working during the summer vacation. TIGER WOMAN'S PIEA IS "NOT GUILTY" LOS ANGELES, July 20—Entering a plea of "not guilty" to the indictment charging her with the murder of pretty Alberta Meadows, Clara Phillips today began her fight to prove her innocence of the grewsome "hammer murder" of Montecito drive. The second scene in the legal drama was played before a "crowded house" in the courtroom of Superior Judge Frederick W. Houser. The principal role was taken by the attractive 23-year-old ex-chorus girl—a petite, well gowned, self-contained person whose appearance belled the suggestive title of the "tiger woman" that has been bestowed upon her by attachments of the county jail where she has been confined since last Sunday. Unknown to the central figure in the "hammer murder" tragedy, there was hidden among the spectators another person destined to play an important part in the drama. This was a young girl whose name was kept secret—the girl who says she sold the hammer with which pretty 20-year-old Alberta Meadows was beaten to death in a lonely part of Montecito eight days ago. INSTALL PIPE ORGAN IN CHURCH The work of installing the organ in the handsome new edifice of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church at Emily and East Chartres streets was started yesterday, and with its completion the doors of the new building will be thrown open.

The organ embodies all the modern features of construction. It has electric-pneumatic action, operating nine speaking stops and 10 couplers, with provisions for an extra stop if desired. The chamber containing the pipes is 17 by seven feet and 16 feet high. The pipes are enclosed in a commodious expression box. There are balanced pedals to operate the expression shutters. A balanced pedal enables crescendo or diminuendo as rapidly or slowly as desired. A handsome oak console houses the organ itself, and the key desk is of mahogany. Among the accessories is a tremolo reversible pedal for the great to pedal coupler. The electric contacts all are made of pure silver, which ensures good, clear contact. The blower for the wind is driven by a two h.p. motor, controlled from the key desk. Six volts are used in playing the instrument. The motor connects with a generator which furnishes the current. The opening of the church has been delayed until the organ could be put in. Contractor A. Pibel recently finished his work. Today the chandeliers were being hung. The structure is of vitrified brick without, pink tinting within, with salcony and choir loft and is one of the most ornate in Anaheim. NEW WITNESSES AIDS DEFENSE LOS ANGELES, July 20—With The Lessors' Oil Company was launched at an unfortunate time.

Woodward, president; Cahles W Peters, secretary; Vincent K. Chandler, treasurer; and H. H. Hammond. Ames & McFadden are the attorneys.

The nature of the soil also indicates strongly, it is said, the presence of a new oil field. FILES PAPERS FOR G. O. P. COMMITTEE Clyde S. Williams of the Anaheim Vulcanizing Works of So.
