Continued Petroleum Activity Both In
Colorado and Wyoming.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
OMAHA, June 12.-Advices received here
from the New Florence, Col, oil field state
that everything is moving along smoothly
with large increase of new wells over last
month and the same period last
year. In the past two weeks some
six or seven new wells have been
drilled in, their production ranging from
Is to 200 barrels per day. The new refinery,
which is local institution, is now COM
pleted and running full capacity. The prod
uct obtained here lines up pretty well with
the light amber of the Pennsylvania field.
Several other grades, however, are found.
The situation at present indicates busy
summer and thorough test of the field,
with chances of opening additional territory.
A number of wells are now being put
down in the Wyoming field. The old wells
have been cleaned out, which has added
considerably to their production. Scarcely
day passes but two or three operators from
the Eastern fields pass through this place en-
route to either the foregoing fields.
They all have great confidence IN the out
come, and are putting in their money very
literally. By the latter part of next week
barring accidents, number of wells should
reach the desired point.

AN IMPORTANT INSURANCE CASE.
The Travellers Sued to Recover Policy on
aHotel Death.

The Travellers Sued to Recover Policy on
Hotel Death.
CHICAGO, June PA law suit which is
of interest to life insurance companies was
put on trial before Judge Blodgett this
morning. The suit is that of Carrie NJ.
Richardson against the Travellers Insurance
Company, of Hartford, Conn.,, to recover on
an insurance policy taken out by her de-
ceased husband. The policy provided for
payment in case of death from "violent- and
accidental means" On the back of the
policy is provision that the policy does
not cover death from taking poison or in
haling gas.
Richardson was found dead in hotel and
the open gas jet indicated the manner of
death. The company declined to pay,
claiming that the section on the back Of the
policy released it from liability The
widow sued the company, and when the case
came to be heard to-day the company en-
tered into stipulation that the case be
taken to the Supreme Court. The attorney
for the company said that the case was the
first of its kind to go to the Supreme Court
which would decide once for all whethor
life insurance companies are liable for
"hotel deaths, as they are called

For the New Postofice Building Over on
the Northside.
Rumors had it last night that the site of
the new Allegheny postoffice had been Sc
lected by the officials at Washington. Post
master Gilleland, on being asked concern-
ing the report, doubted its truth. He said
that not until Government Agent Adolph
Cluss, who was here few days ago looking
at the possible location, arrived at the Capt.
tai would the site be known.
The rumor could have no possible founda-
tion, he thinks, as Mr.. Cluss is to inform
him of his arrival at Washington. He him
self has no idea where the future office will
stand, and furthermore, he says he does not
care to know, as the best interests Of Ale
ghenians will be looked after by the Gov
ernment

Graham, constable of Nanticoke, Lu-
zerne county, Thursday night brought Will
lam Armson to the city and lodged him in
jail for court in default Of 81, 600 bail on the
charge of impersonating an internal reve-
nue. officer. Yesterday Deputy Marshal
Barring, of Scranton, came to the city and
went before Judge Reed. He asked for an
order to take Armson back to Scranton and
allow him to enter bail.
When Barring and Graham met they had

against Armson was trumped up, while
Graham said that Barring only wanted to get
Armson out of hole. Upon hearing the
case Judge Reed granted the order to take
Armson back to Scranton.
