TOLEDO. May l6.-The largest gas we'll

in on the Wallace farm, three miles west
Of FOstoria. Tie lease is owned by the
Chicago Oil company, and the well was
started last week in territory which was
considered worthless. 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 es-
timated at 30 O0l,OOJ feet of gas day, the
largest well ON earth. Tie gas caught
fire from the forge and the derrick was
buried to the ground. The woods are

DOG SMITHS RIG"

A Legal Complication Over the Gus
tody of His Horse and Cart.
Justice Henry yesterday continued the
examination of "Doc'' Smith, the colored
man held for burglary in entering Farmer
Counsman's building and stealing num-
Der of turkeys, until next Friday.
Growing out of the arrest of Smith
there is curious complication. When
arrested by Constable Brissel he had an
alleged horse and cart, which were taken
to Supervisor Miller's livery stable
where they have been for several days.
The alleged horse is worth about twenty
five cents-pOssibly not that much-and
the thing called cart, for want of some
other and more appropriate name, would
be worth perhaps as much more if re-
duced to stovewood.
Smith has no use for the outfit, as he is
in the County Jail; Constable Brissel has
no use for it, and as the horse late his
head off" before he had been in the stable
over night Miller is wondering how he
is to get even should he have to take the
concern for his bill.
Wilson has found a lawyer to defend
him, and yesterday, when the case was
called and continued, Brissel-who is
anxious to clear himself of all response
bility for the cost of the horses stabling
very magnanlmOusly proposed to the
court that he would offer no objection if
the latter would make an order turning
over to the counsel for the defendant 1.-The
property taken from the latter at the time
of his arrest, consisting of horse and
cart"
1t is creditable to the Constable's astute-
ness that he supposed counsel for the
prisoner would jump at the offer as a
well-bred trout would go for tempting
fly, but the counsel didn't bite.
Possibly he had been to the stable and
taken the measure of the horse and cart,
or possibly his own astuteness suggested
to him that ordinarily Constable would
not offer to let go good thing. At all
events, he declined the generous offer.
The horse is still in Miller's stable, and
Justice Henry now interviews every
lawyer and Superior Judge he meets and
states the situation, asking their advice as
to what to do in the matter. He stood ex
Judge Van Fleet up yesterday and hurled
the conundrum at him, but the Judge
pleaded an urgent engagement and fled
down the street.
Smith Is taking it easy in Jail, conscious
Of the fact that someone must feed the
horse during his own retirement.

A SEVERE STORM Is THREATENED.
The Barometer Falls Over a Quarter
of an Inch.
Director Barwick of the Weather Serv-
ice LOOKS for Soaker-AIong
the Railroads.

The Weather Bureau reports show the
yesterday, and to a point much lower
than for some time, during this season of
high barometer readings during our
storms. The reading at A. NJ. yester-
day was 5000 inches, while at 5 P. NJ. it had
fallen to 297S inches, a fail of 81 of an
inch in twelve hours.
A drop in the barometer that much in
twenty-four hours is considered very
sure indication of severe stormy weather
approaching, and it may be in this case
that the severity of the storm in the next
thirty-six hours will be one TO be noted,
although the barometer is not as low as it
usually gets. Its falling SO rapidly, how
ever, gives indications of heavy storm
approaching from Oregon.
The rainfall so far is slight, it being but
10 of an inch yesterday. making for the
season 1908 inches, as against 1874 inches
TO a corresponding date last year.
The highest and lowest temperatures
yesterday were 500 and 420, with brisk
southerly winds and showery weather.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were 490 and Az.
with .92 of an inch of rain, and one year

a terrific snowstorm ragged upon the
hill all day yesterday, the wind whirl-
ing the snow in furious clouds through
the air and drifting it badly in some
places, and it was still drifting last night.
During the evening the storm was very
severe between Truckee and Reno.
Att o'clock last evening the snow was
falling as low down as Colfax, several
inches having fallen there and about
fifteen inches at Towles. Six feet had
fallen at the Summit during the two
days storm, making it about fourteen
feet deep in all. Four feet had fallen at
Emigrant Gap, three feet at Blue Can
yon and three feet at Truckee, and the
indications were that it would be some
time before the severity of the storm
abated.
Colonel ]. B. Wright intended to leave
here for the scene of action about ii
o'clock last night, but as the train was
two hours late he was delayed. All the
snowplows are running over the road,
the rotary and cyclone plows keeping the
worst places clear and the ''pushers''
operating on the other portions.
No difficulty had been experienced in
keeping the track clear, but the plows
will be kept running constantly in order
to keep the snowfall under control. The
overland trains are ali running on time.
On the Shasta division there was also a
very heavy snowstorm, but the trains
were not delayed by it.
