The well on the Mccain farm, south

ment when drilled into the fifth sand.

Of fifth sand oil was discovered In that

the fifth sand, and one on the McClain
farm produced 20 barrels a dag Tor a
time.
The South Penn Oil Company have

4 big excitement was created late
Saturday night at Gould's Station near
Steubenville. The Given oil well men
laid the pipes down DRY Forks" as far
as the Culpherd, but the Pan Pandle
officials would not allow them to lay 1t
under it, but Saturday night about mid
night they got it under. The railroad
company sent a special car out with nifty
men, among them Detective James
Love, each having a lantern. Given
told them II they fooled around the oil
it would blow up. They got scared and
left. The reason the railroad company
acted this way was because they were
not allowed TO haul the oil.
