Oil Field Notes

Business in the oil field is daily increas.
ing. The number of new wells being
bored shows the faith of old oil men in
the local field and the future of the indus
try.
James Powell's new well. on the corner
of Victor and Temple streets, was sunk
to the oil bearing sand yesterday. The
we'll is now 700 feet down and shows indi-
cations of being one OF the richest in the
ield. This we'll is located fan thest east
of any yet bored, and is of special inter-
est. as 1t indicates that the extent of tn 3
oil bearing belt is large.
The spouter on West State street, be-
longing to DR.. Davidson, flowed heavily
yesterday morning.
f. l.. Matthay has just finished boring
his new well at 327 Court street. The
we'll is S75 feet deep. Casing will be put
in Immediately. From present indica-
tons the flow of natural gas from this
well will be sufficient to furnish power
for all the Mattbay wells.
Natural gas has not yet been found here
to the extent that prevails in some of the
eastern fields. but the increased supply
which is being found in the new wells
reads the oil experts to believe that a
large supply exists, which is liable 10 be
struck at any time.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Rosa Masquis Caught on a Bridge by a
Train

Rosa Masquis, a girl about u years Of
age had her right arm fractured above
the elbow yesterday afternoon by jump
ing from the Southern Pachc bridge at
Mission street. She and her cousin we're
returning from the county hospital about
o. clock and Rosa said she would walk
across the railroad bridge instead OF
going over that on Kurtz street. Her
cousin warned her not to attempt this, as
a train was likely to pass at any moment.
Rosa persisted, however, and commenced
to walk over the ties. When about the
center of the bridge train came along
and the child saved herself from being
crushed by jumping off the track.
The bridge is about twelve feet above the
bed of the river and the girl would have
probab bly, received some severe injuries
had she not been caught in the telegraph
wires that are placed close to the track.
AS it was, her right arm was broken
and the left was badly bruised. The tram
was stopped and she was taken on board
and carried to the Arcade depot, from
where the patrol wagon brought her TO
the receiving hospital. Dr. Bryant .set
the broken arm and she was later taken
to her home at 724 New High street.

While the city council has the bicycle
ordinance in hand it would be well for
them to complete the matter by enacting
that all bicycles should be provided with
bells. In almost every other city in the
United States cyclists are compelled to
provide Dvth lamps and bells. A bicycle
lamp that can be depended upon has not
yet been invented. and to force the
cyclists to expend from 81 to $5 for lamp
and then arrest them because the lamp
goes out is not justice. However, as
bell only costs from 81 upward and gives
warning of the approach of the wheel and
rider, it is not toe much to ask that they
be required to provide such. The bicy-
clists have a peculiar habit of sneaking
up on pedestrian without warning and
the result is that the pedestrian in the
excitement of the moment is sure to
jump the wrong way and in front of the
wheel. If the cyclist were required to
ring a bell when not less than forty or
fifty feet distant, many collisions might
be avoided. In default of this it might
not be bad plan for pedestrians to prac-
ice a sort of a slide kelley-slide move
ment to the right, so that the cyclist may
know what to expect.

Two boys about twelve or thirteen years of age named Lee Simpson and Avert Boulden were before Justice J. M. ". Moore yesterday charged with the theft of gunny sacks from W. c. Norton. Two other youths, were implicated in the theft but have not yet been arrested. Both of the above were found guilty and fined and their fines paid. The stolen sacks were filled with barley and in order to obtain them they cut the strings and poured the bar ley out in the hay. The Simpson boy on being closely questioned by Justice Moore, admitted that he has been engaged in various kinds of pilfeFing for some time. On Tues day night ke said that he and two other boys camped all night in the rocks west of town.
 The Chinamen have been their principal customers to buy stolen articles, although they have often found white customers for the pur- chase of sacks. The parents of the Boulden boy announced that they would adopt heroic treatment to prevent the recurrence of such ac. tions on his part.
