OIL NEWS.

The Rinehart well, over on the Ohio
side. in the vicinity Of the Frieden well,
was closed down yesterday on top OF
the sand for some reason, and 1t is I'M
possible to tell to-day when II wll De
drilled in.
The well drilled on the Lewis farm
by Afford Bros. & O'Hara has been
cleaned out and drilled deeper in the
sand Last evening it was reported to
be forty feet in the sand and had not
perceptibly increased its production.
The well is now producing about 10
barrels a day and Will be packed at
once. after which it IS expected TO be
good for as much as the Frieden well,
II not more.
The receipts of the Eureka pipe line
in the Sistersville field were 1882 bar
rels.
Ramey & Co.'S well on the Alexander
Mills lot. in the vicinity OF the Frieden
well. is due to-day or tomorrow. Ihe
drill was in the limestone on top OF
the sand last night, and IL was expected
the well would reach the sand some
time to-day.
There is considerable development go
ing on in Putnam county now, and
within the next few days several inn
nortant wells are expected in. Several
Wheeling parties are interested in ter
ritory in that section, and are prepar-
ing to put down wells on their leases
i'm a short time.
Harry McMullen's well on the Baker
farm. east of the Frieden well, Is due
in the sand in a day or two. The indl-
cations are for q good well.

FEAR MORE BLOODSHED.
Idaho People Consider the Indian Trou-
blea Grave One.

Pocatello, Ida, July 23.-At BannOck
Indian agency, 13 miles north of here,
those in authority are in possession Of
all the facts obtainable, do not believe
the trouble in the Jackson Hole coun-
try can reach a settlement without
more bloodshed. The rumors current
here last night regarding depredations
of a returning band of Bannocks and
their killing of three white settlers can
not be confirmed. Not more than 80
Indians have so far returned to the i'm
mediate vicinity Of the agency, and
they viii not talk
Although it can be positively stated
that the rumored danger in this imme-
diate vicinity is without foundation. il
is believed from the advice brought
daily by the Indian police from the
scene of the recent trouble in North
western Wyoming that there will be
ether clashes there between the Indians
and settlers and tough characters in
the Jackson Hole country. The In
dian police. as a rule are Indians first
and police afterward and evidently
made a report to their brother braves
for almost every able-bodied Bannock
has between the return of the police
and this time decamped from the scene
of the trouble. From the most trusted
police it is learned that many Of the
Indians who are apparently returning
to their homes have quietly said that
they are taking squaws and papooses
home to the reservation and then would
return to see" the white men at Jack
son Hole country.
These clashes in that section are
yearly occurrences and there seems a
determination on both sides to settle the
question as to whether the Indians have
a right to hunt in that county regard
less of State game laws The Indians
will not give up their old ground with
out a struggle, and the settlers and
characters far worse than Indians are
determined to give the Indians such
severe treatment that they will not re-
turn next year.
