Union Offers $100 and $5 Rental, Agreeing to Drill in 60 Days PHARES ASKS HISTORY OF BIDS OPEN ON COUNTRY JAIL BLD Lowest Complete $180,000 Compare Estimate of $225 County supervisors tod ed bids on the proposed j Union Offers $100 and $5 Rental, Agreeing to Drill in 60 Days Interest in the oil development operations about Anaheim is shifting, temporarily at least, to Cypress, with the announcement of more leases and offerings of terms for leaves and the continued showing of oil near the Gaddie Oil Development Co.'s well. Offering of oil rights with lets being subdivided or to be sub-divided also is helping to boom things. W. M. Keck, who is drilling Brookhurst Well No. I, has leased 18 acres of Julius Hollingworth and 30 acres across the road from the Hollingsworth place of Mrs. Joe Street. The terms are $100 per acre bonus, $5 per month rental the first year, $7.50 the second and $10 the third year. All this land lies less than half a mile east of the Gaddie well. The Union Oil Co. is seeking leases also and offering $100 and $5, respectively, with the guarantee of drilling within 60 days if the Gaddie well brings in oil. Three-year lease—the proviso being to drill within three years—also are being sought. The Standard Oil Co. has leased 80 acres of George B. Miller on Lincoln-blvd., and is offering terms for more. The soil 16 feet down on the Sconce place continues to be soaked with oil seepage, as fast as the dirt is removed. A place big as a kitchen table is wet with oil. The trees on the place also are dying. A drill never has been put in, contrary to reports. Individual Anaheimmers are seeking leases of their own in Cypress, apparently on a speculative basis. The J. D. Millar Realty Co. of Los Angeles plans to open a subdivision east of the Gaddie well with oil rights thrown in. The concern already has 20 acres and will also develop three other places, one of 26 and two others of 10 acres each, if the first piece sells well. Coming toward Anaheim the W. M. Keck Drilling Co. again is busy drilling in Brookhurst Well No. 1 on Brookhurst road, after cementing off, with the bits steadily eating down well below the 1,000-foot mark. Soil formation has been favorable and progress is rapid.

Hatch on charge of inhumane treatment to two Hatch children, visited the district attorney's office today. He stated Mrs. Phares left him June 22 and that he had not known of her whereabouts until he read a newspaper account of the case involving the Hatch children. He told Deputy Dist. Attty, Mosley that she had become hardened last three years and that he would have taken their two children from her but for fear she would attempt to kill him. He has filed a divorce suit and will ask custody of the children, asserting that separation from her own children would be fitting punishment for the alleged mis-treatment of the Hatch children. It was stated today that the Hatch children would probably be sent to their grandmother, Mrs. Alia Hammond, of Los Angeles.

Threatens Perjury Charge if Dines Changes His Testimony LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29.—"Courtland S. Dines must tell the truth and I'm prepared to get it or know why."

"I believe I have the truth from Mabel Normand and Edna Purviance," Keyes said today. "I don't think it will be necessary to recall them to the witness stand. What they have told me puts me in a position to attack Dine's story of not remembering what happened." Greer's attorneys contended today that if Dines changes his testimony they will demand a complaint against him charging perjury. They claim he testified under oath and that he cannot change it now because the district attorney insists on it. Greer's preliminary hearing, which is scheduled to start again tomorrow, will be continued again because of Dines condition. It was said today Dines cannot leave the hospital for another 26 days.
