Above, the daring "ladder thief" strikes at the Doheny residence on Chester Place (apparently named for Stanford student Chester Silent) … Below, a fascinating tale of legal intrigue, tangled relationships and greed told in the story of a land baron’s love child–and 3,000 acres in Santa Barbara County where oil was discovered … Beulah Hawkins awakens after 85 days … Six Navy destroyers arrive in San Pedro … Mounted police pursue several cars after the drivers attempt to drive the Arrowhead road in San Bernardino that is restricted to horses … Someone sabotages the streetcar tracks at 9th Street and Channing and nearly causes a bad accident … And the Chamber of Commerce is asking for auto owners to loan their vehicles so visiting sailors can get a tour of Los Angeles.
