PRACTICALLY DECIDED.
Judge Gresham Intimates that tho 20"
Has No Case.

Has No Case.
CHICAGO, March i2.-At the close OF
the arguments in the Wabash cases to-
day, Judge Gresham practically gave his
decision when he said that he did not
think the 20" had any case in court.
"The Wabash has granted you all you
ask" said the Judge. at has promised
to receive your freight, and now you ask
the court to issue an order Furnishing the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
for an alleged crime, which they deny,
and against the wishes Of the general
manager Of the road, who is an officer OF
this court" While the Judge thus in
dicated what his decision would proba-
bly, be, he announced that he would take
the matter under advisement. The
prevailing opinion in the court room
after the decision was that the Judge
would refuse to issueany order touching
the action Of Chief Arthur or the Broth
erhood, on the ground that tits beyond
his jurisdictionand properly regulated
by the State laws.

The well on the Fergus farm was
drilled for one hour and a half on satur-
day afternoon and her production was
increased from IS to so barrels an hour.
She has continued flowing at n heavy
rate ever since, showing that her possi-
bilities MS n gusher Of enormous calibre,
perhaps u rival OF McKeown's old Mar
tin 4, are great. The Gantz sand has
been penetrated only about II feet
Owing to its isolated condition it will
probably prove very similar to its ia
nous prototype, the Martin, and may
manage to get out us much or more oil
than that gusher before another well
can be drilled to the sand. The West
ern & Atlantic Pipe Line Company is
caring for the oil. The well may be
drilled some this afternoon. Atll A. Nj.
to-day the well was making about 63
barrels an hour and the owners had de-
cided not to drill her to-day.
