Yesterday he insisted they accept an invitation to a Christmas dinner. They left home at 2 p.m. When they returned two hours later they found his lifeless body suspended from by a noose.

ORANGE WELL PASSES THRU OIL SHALE A producing oil field, the vision of hundreds, seemed near a reality today within the city limits of Orange as the bit of the Orange Community Ass'n., plowed thru a heavy oil shale at 3750 feet. Approximately 300 feet of this shale has been encountered since the drill passed the 3100-foot mark, the intervening layers divided by thin "separators" of hard limestone. Directors of the association, highly elated over the fact that the log of the Orange test well corresponds exactly with that of the Chapman discovery well in the Richfield-Placentia district, today decided to continue the drilling in search of the heavy oil sand. If a productive sand is not found at less than 5000 feet, the hole can be plugged back to its present depth and a 200-barrel pumper secured, it was said.

NEWSBOY INJURED David Affachiner, a Fullerton TO JAIL Auto Club Attorneys Oppose Use of Speed Traps Punctuated by verba' tilts between Justice J. B. Cox and attorneys for the Auto Club of So. Calif. over use of speed trap evidence, and by the sentence of 11 more speeders to jail terms, today's session of traffic court brot the offensive against fast driving more than ever into the limelight. Appearance of Ivan Kelso, of the Auto Club's legal staff, to defend two motorists arraigned on speeding charges signalized a move by the club against the revival of the speed trap in this county. In entering pleas of not guilty on behalf of H. M. Langdon, of Glendale, and B. P. Hurrit, Los Angeles, Kelso declared that abolition of the speed trap was "the best thing that ever happened." "For the undertakers, yes," retorted Justice Cox. Langdon was charged with driving at a rate of 48 miles per hour. His trial was set for Jan. 21 at 5 p.m. Hurst's trial was continued to Dec. 31. The 11 speeders sentenced to five days each were: O. W. Harris, Los Angeles; W. L. Ong, Pasadena; P. L. Henneberg, San Diego; F. J. Remsey Hollywood; C. L. Peak, Santa Monica; H.D. Davis, Los Angeles; H.G. Boyden, Santa Ana; W.C Murphy, Los Angeles; Vernor Cruzen, Los Angeles; P.A. Jones Fullerton; George Oliver, Los Angeles. F. D. Fisher, of Corona, charged with cutting a traffic button near Anaheim, was told that he could appear either in Anaheim justice court or before Justice Cox. "What will I get?" he parried adding "judge, I never paid a fine in my life for violating a traffic law." "You'll not pay a fine here either. You'll get five days if you appear here," answered the court grimly. "Goodbye," said Fisher.

They were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Utter, and on the way home Mr. Turner suggested a business (?) call on N.Lemon, and asked his wife to go in the house rather than wait in the car for him.

Notice, it is said, wants the four monkeys he turned into Tash recently. Tash concludes that the price was to be $75 that the monkeys were taken proposal. For a brief acquaintance with monks, Tash emphatically holds his approval and decided keys be found a quorum lacking. Every day or two Tash hears of one of the monks somewhere. Sometimes they are sampling some outraged citizen's prize avocados. Sometimes they are merely frisking along strange roofs or suddenly appearing at the window of some maiden's boudoir, to be greeted with shrieks. Once a pair visited the courthouse, one being captured in the marriage license bureau while the other, scaling to the third story, threw a dignified superior court into an uproar. But at no time has Tash been able to organize a monkey family reunion with 100 per cent attendance. Then Prentice finally filed his suit through Attorney James L. Allen.
