SIsTERsvILLE, July 17-To-morrow
morning Mr.. L.. A. Brenneman leaves
for Bradford, his former home, and from
there he will chaperoDe party OF Young
people on trip through Europe. MI,
Brenneman is one Of the foremost,
shrewdest and most successiul
producers in this field. He came here
when the oil field first opened up ana
! has been identified with the oil business
for years. He first started in the ousi-
ness at Pit Hale. Pa, in 1865 where he
made quite a snug sum. From there
he went TO the Mllierston
field where he was engaged
in the lumber business. At Bradford
however, he went back to the old home
and made a large fortune in the oil
business there. Not conten. with what
he had he went to specializing in oil on
the exchange, and in a short time lost
all he had. When the Sistersville field
opened uD he came here among the first
and secured some leases which
proved TO be BONANZA. Mr.. Brenne'
man is supposed 30 be worth not less
than 5000, 900, the most OF which he has
made in this field, and has some good
leases yet on the Thistle, Stewart,
Clerk, MerIcale, Wright, Frotsh and
Routes. He has been very hard
worker, not only for his Own inter-
ests but also for the interest OF Sisters
vile. and merits the holiday be con-
templates. The Lorentz sails from New
York to Dublin and from there will
make tour OF all the principal cities
of Europe. They will be absent about
