STEUBENNILLE.

STErBENvILLE, O., November line
ono theme of interest in this city just now
is the oil strike in Island Creek township,
near Blackburn's mill. AS some OF the
Incllv holders of the strike in this well are
citizens of Steubenville, the NUMBER OF
people feeling particularly good comprises
them and their friends The holders %
interest in the well are 81 Ault, w. ..
Walker, SCOTT Buckingham, FRANK Auiu,
w. Med. Miller, and B. n. Lindun. Inc
balance of the stock is held Dy FlItspuIs
parties In addition TO his interest IN lne
well ST Ault has lease on 40 acres OF au
Joining land. owned by Mark Brady, Oh
Martins Ferry. There seems TO be no
doubt about the strike being good one,
and expert oil men place the well at any
where from one hundred TO three hundred
barrels daily. On Friday the gas became
so strong that the plug was down OUT OF
the well and oil shot forty feet into the air.
The excitement in the neighborhood is IN
tense. and land is being leased at fancy
prices. r,;,,,,
The well is six miles from Steubenvllle
due northeast, and as this is the nearest
point of any importance II cannot help Delhg
of benefit to US. All the travel from Pltts-
burg and the east must so through oUeu-
benyille TO reach the field. unless people
c.. &P The direct route is 10 come 10
Steubenville via Panhandle, thence up the
G.. 4 u. TO Browns station and from there
across the country three miles. Then again,
when the oil men return from the neld at
night the natural place for them TO come is
here. We have good hotels and all the ac-
commodations necessary for them. Besides
being a big thing for the Steubenvllle
parties directly interested, the strike can
not help but be of great beneht TO our
whole people.

Nothing has yet been heard of Franchesi
Carose. who murdered his fellow country
man. Franchesi Gallo, across the river IN
Brooke county, w. Va, last Monday. 1t
is supposed that he made straight for New
York with the intention of sailing Tor
Italy. Gallo had 1924 Ton his person,
which is now in the possession of Marshal
Scott, although Coroner Stan thinks he
should have possession of it. Carose and
Gallo slept together in Virgin Alley, PITTS
burg, the night before the murder, which
was undoubtedly committed TO avenge real
or fancied wrongs received in Italy, al
though robbery might have been primary
object with Carose.
