Bold Attempt at Robbery in The Glare of
Electric Light.
ESPECIAL TEL EGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.I
NEW YORK, Jan. l.-Dr. John B. Hays, a
middle-aged man, reached Merritt's Hotel
where he lives. about l O'clock this morning
with his right eye terribly bruised. He said he
had been attacked by a highway robber on
Broadway, near Union So uare, in the full glare
of the electric lights. On w eduesday night he
went TO the theater with a party of friends.
After the perform ance he walked down Broad
way alone, exposing a gold chain. At Seven
teenth street he saw a young man in a pea
Jacket looking at a show window. A few feet
ahead of him stood another man who wore an
overcoat.
The doctor was nearly abreast of this man
when, with suddenness that almost threw
him OF his feet, the fellow in the peajacket
darted from behind him and made a dive at
the gold chain. He eNerted all his strength
and pushed the robber from him, at the
same time crying for help. Some Italians
who we're cleaning the streets, dropped their
shovels and started over. A fewspedestrians
heard the Doctors cries and ran across the
street The robbers accomplice saw them
coming and without stopping to aid his
pal, scurried away. The man in the pea
jacket gave one glance around him
and then shot out his right fist and struck the
doctor above the eye. Dazed and bleeding. the
doctor roeled and for an instant his mind was
blank. Then he recovered, but the man had
ned after his COMPANION.

OIL OPERATIONS IN OHIO
A Tabular Report From the Fieldiin the
Northwestern Part.

NOrLnWeStcrn farI.
TOLEDO, Jan. 1.-The Commercial printed
to-day the report of oil operations in the Ohio
field during the month OF December, a9d also
recapitulation of operations in the field for
the year just closed. The field comprises the
counties of Wood. Hancock, Allen, Au Glaize
and Sandusky. The new production for
December is 8. .4A barrels daily, as against 13,-
779 for November. One hundred and ninety-two
wells were completed during the month, as
against 243 for November; Ill are drilling as
against l4S 100 rigs are up and building. against
l49 for the previous month. The outlook for
the next year is very bright, and workcwill be
actively resumed soon after this month. Oper-
ations in the Ohio field have been more active
year of development in this field. I.
The bulk of the operations, and, in fact, all
but a few sJraggling experiments. has been
confined to the foregoing counties In all
branches of development Wood county leads
the list. July, August. September and Octo-
Der witnessed the greatest activity in the field,
and 1t Is notable fact that when
Buckeye oil was certificated the drill
was busiest when the product was
lowest on the exchanges. At the same time,
however, the Buckeye pipe line was paying 20
cents more than the exchange quotations. The
decrease in operations in December is owing to
the practical suspension of work during cold
weather and the large increase in dry:holes is
due to the fact that the reports in gilt-edge
territory have been pretty thoroughly
punctured. and considerable experiment or
testing has been done in unknown territory.
The following is the recapitulation for 1900:
