Escape-A Clue to Their
Identities.

Fort WAYNE, Ind, July 20.-John
johnson, q street car driver. was found
weltering in his blood near the gate of
his home, at ia West Creighton avenue
late last night. A deep wound
in his breast and several
knife cuts IN mis- neck and
face showed the weapon his as
sailant had used. Johnson was uncon-
scious when found and died shortly
being taken home. 1t is believed that
the attack was made by two unknown
men who were seen following Johnson
by q neighbor shortly before he was
discovered UNCONSCIOUS. Johnson's
slung-short was found near the
pot, tore to pieces, which showed
that he made a hard fight for
his life. The motive of the assault 10

his watch and chain were found undis-

and little daughter.
The police have clue which they
think may lead to the capture Of the
part,ee responsible for Johnson death.
Oscar Strayer. who boarded near the
johnson home, has disappeared, leav-
ing his coat covered with blood in his
room. 1t is said, too, that the men
were not on good terms, as johnson
suspected Strayer of alternating the af-
fections Of his wife. A vigorous search

QUIET IN THE OIL FIELDS.

McDonald's Production Drops OF 500 Bar

Same-Many Gas Wells Being Drilled
Throughout the Southwest-Other Field
News.
There were no big wells developed yes
terday. The Mcdonald field was very
quiet and the operators who are in the sand
in the Sistersville field were anxious to get
their wells to pumping and after they have
exhausted the salt water they are sanguine
of finding pay streak in the sand which
will yield a fine quality of OIL
There are still plenty of wells even in the
Mcdonald field which have neither been
shot or drilled out, and in which their own
ers do not yet know whether there is oil or
not.
Some of these outlying wells, especially
those in the region lying west and north OF
Mcdonald and in the vicinity of some of the
wells drilled by the Royal Gas Company
and the Devonian Oil Company, will be
thoroughly tested, and if they prove to be
into the sand or be started to pumping.
The firm of Forst & Greeniee expects to
drill in its No. on the Oak Ridge Coal Com
pany's property next week.
There are many wells drilling for gas in
many parts of the southwest just at present.
Near Centerville, Washington county, the
Philadelphia Company has started to put
down a couple of wells. They expect TO get
the gas either in the GantZ or the 50-Ioot
sand.
The Philadelphia Company has also started
to drill four wells for gas at Lock No. on
the Monongahela river, in the Elizabeth
