Indiana fields was drilled on the Wal

O. The lease is owned by the Chicago
Oil Co., and a well was started week
before in territory which was consid-
cred worthless. IL came in suddenly
and when the tools were thrown out
the workmen had to run for their
lives. The drill stem and rope were
blown fully 500 feet. The well is
estimated at 50,000,OOO feet of gas per
day, the largest we'll on earth. The
gas caught fire from the forge and the
derrick burned to the ground. The
woods were soon blazing in many
places and flames shot up 100 feet
above the tree tops. One curious
feature was that in more than 1OC
places water spouted through the
ground to alright of 10 to 20 feet.

PRISONERS Make a Bold Attempt to Blow
Up jackson Prison with Dynamite
The smalI,FoH Epidemic Spreading

One of the most desperate attempts
of prisoners TO escape from the state
prison at Jackson was foiled by the
prompt action of the guards. There
was TO be u literary entertainment at
the prison, and it is now believed that
the attempt was 10 be made during
the entertainment, but some of those
implicated could not wait and sprung
their bold scheme a day too early.
The convicts of the new west cell
block had been taken to n meeting,
and were being marched back TO their
cells when one of them mOtioned to
Guard HCrning as though he wished
to speak to him. The guard stepped
ND TO the convict, who threw his arm
about the guards neck and attempted
TO choke him. AS he did SO Arthur
Lawrence. a colored convict, sprang up
into the window and made an attempt
to light a fuse, but the thing failed TO
work Guard Murphy heard the dis
turbance and rushed TO the assistance
of IIorning, crying an alarm as he
went. Deputy Northrup and Capt
Stone soon reached the spot. All of
this transpired in less than minute,
and the timely arrival of the officers
served 20 check the disturbance that
had hardly got fairly started. Law
renee showed his qualities of persist
ence, for when his fuse failed to work
he kept right on, and in fact was not
dislodged from his position until actu-
ally pulled down by two of the officials.
The timeA arrival of assistance seemed
TO strike CONSERVATION to the hearts of
the convicts and they were soon rs
submissive as lot of spring lambs,

Pueblo, Colo: A Rio Grande railroad
engine was taking coal, the fireman
being off the engine, when it was sud-
denly surrounded by fifteen of the men
under Gen. Sanders, who came in from
Cripple Creek as a CoXey band. They
took the engine and ran the locomotive
down 20 the Missouri Pacific yards,
where there were six coal cars. The
whole band boarded these cars, and at
taching the Rio Grande engine started
for the east at lively gait The en-
CINE passed Nespeta going fifty miles
an hour. The superintendent ordered
an engine and car overturned in a cut
at Olney SO the runaways can get no
further than that point. A train
started from Pueblo with deputy mar
shals and thirty officers TO overtalle the
band. The seizure prevented the move
ment of United States mails.
LATER.-The CoXeyites passed the
obstruction at Olney by building a
track around it. They encountered
another at Arlington, where four en-
gines had been ditChed, but they also
built around this At Ordway the
water in the stolen engine gave out

OVER 100 PEOPLE INJURED
Fly an Explosion of Huge Tank OF Ben
zine mt n Fire In bradford, Pa.


The barrel house at Emery's refinery,
at Bradford, Pa, was destroyed by
fire. The loading racks and five oil
tank cars standing on n side track
were also burned. The fire was fierce
one, and attracted immense crowds of
people. While the firemen were MAX
ing a final stand and thousands of peo-
pie were watching them, there was
tremendous explosion. A tank car.
holding 4,1O0 gallons of benzine let go
with n mighty roar. A crowd of sight
seers were within hundred feet of
the tank when it exploded, but most
of the fremen were massed within
half that distance. The latter were
covered by the first fash of the explo-
sion, but the greater distance scparat-
ing the front ranks of spectators from
the exploding tank saved them. There
were many displays of nerve and un-
selfish courage, as well as the sensoless
display of selfish cowardice.
The explosion was followed by n
panic. In the stampede men as well
as women and children were thrown
down and trodden over by the flying
masses. Thirty-hve of the firemen
were burned SO that the. skin peeled
off their faces and hands and IL c hair
was singed off their heads and faces.
The total number of those burned and
injured in the stampede will reach a
hundred persons With all the suffering
the property loss did not exceed $4,000.
