they had no inclination TO run away.

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. 11.-Parkes-
burg, Chester county, has the oil fever.
About two years ago a Phiiadelphian
named Ellis bought property about two
miles from PArkesburg, and shortly
afterwards noticed that the property was
covered with . thick, oily substance,
which looked like oil and had the odor
Of crude petroleum He bottled speci-
mems Of the stuff and sent 1t to the oil
regions for analysis. The quiet farmers
Of the neiRhborhood were surprised,
in course Of time, by visits of q large
number of strangers, all Of whom in
quired for the Ellis farm. But they were
still more surprised quite recently when
they discovered that Kills and two
strangers had taken 10 year leases Of
about dozen farms. Then It leaked ont
that Kills had found coal oil on hia creek,
and that farmers who had leased land
had received certain sums and oontin-
gency Of one-eighth Of all oil or ore
found thereon or taken thereirom. It was
also ascertained that oil prospecsors are
on their way to PArkeaburg with machi-
merry 10 bore for oil.
