DOWN In AN OIL WELL.
A Very Dangerous Feat Successfully
Performed.


A Very Dangerous Feat Successfully
Performed.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
The most remarkable feat ever attempted
in the oil regions was successfully accom-
plished at Noblestown yesterday.
Lewis RObb, slender young toOl-dresser,
who has as much nerve as muscle, went
down in an oil well So feet and hitched
chain to a spudding-bit.
The well belongs to Marshall, Kennedy &
Co. of Allegheny, and is known as their
No. 1 Sudekim. Smith Brothers are the con-
tractors who are drilling the well. When
the well reached depth Of IS feet, the
spudding-bit. which is IS inches wide
across the bottom, 22 feet high, and 4
inches across the top, became loos-
ened from the long iron to which
1t was attached. They fshed for sew
eral days without being able to disIodge
1t from the bottom. Some one i0kingly sug-
gested that Robb ought to 90 down after it.
tie took the proposition seriously and said
be was willing to undertake the peTil0us
job.
The conductor box was pulled out, and by
several measurements the drllers found
that the 13-inch bit made about a 16.inch
circular hole, as it was being turned and
twisted in the drilling. There was posi-
Dlilty That the air IN the hole might be bad
and TO find out whether such was the case
they let down lanterns and candles, but
the air was found to be pure.
Robb vas then tied in q rope harness
made of the sand line by the other drlllers,
and was carefully lowered by them into the
hole. lie was soon out of sight to his
friends In the derrick, but called up that he
could see everything around him. When
he went down he carried a chain over his
shoulder, TO which the cable or rope used in
drilling was fastened On reaching the
hnffnOn IF hn1a ha kb,E -
filed up over the top OF the bit with water.
II was as cold as a miser's smile, but R0bb
dropped into it, and soon had the chain fas-
tened around the head Of the bit He then
sgnaled TO be pulled up. and soon after ne
reached The derrick floor the drillers turned
on the steam and the spudding- bit followed.
For his trip R0bb was presented with $50
by the contractors.

just below the Mexican line. The Mexican
and a man named Walker, who is well
known in the Territory, are working mine
near the Miller ranch. They were in a
canyon near Miller's and had been down
to water their horses, when the Mexican
stopped to take rest q few hundred wards
beyond Miler's. Without warning a shot
was fired from an ambush and the Mexican
fell to the ground with a bullethole through
the feshy part OF his shoulder. He picked
himself up as quickly as possible and ran
down the canyon to where Walker was. No
sooner had he reached him than a yolley
from rifles was fired and the bullets whizzed
over their heads. They got away as rapidly
as possible and eireled around back to their
cabin, only to find that four Indians had
been there before them and had taken
everything Of value. They had even ripped
open the mattresses and pillows and scat
tered the contents all over the house. 1t is
supposed that it is the work Of the renegade
