OIL FROM SHAlE.
Singular Scottish Industry stimulated by
the Drop ia Petroleum.

Singular Scottish Industry stimulated by
the Drop ia Petroleum.
The drop in the production of petro-
leum in this country has had the effect
of stimulating an almost extinct in
dustry in Scotland. the distillatien OF
oil from shaIe. Fifty years ago it was
of great importance and was even
worked under royalties in the United
States, where there were between
fifty and sixty coal and shale distiller-
les While the producers were at the
height of their prosperity, the natural
oil fields were opened and the old
business went 20 pieces, so that only
two Scotch companies were left in the
field. Like most manufacturing en-
terprises an Scotland, IL was the waste
products which furnished the profits
of the industry. The mineral distilled
is bituminous shale or hard clay. and
the product OF the distillation. OF
which seventy-fve million gallons
were made last year, bears little re-
senblanee 10 coal Oil
The waste products which have con-
fributed TO the continued existence Of
the industry are parafine wax and
the sniphate of ammonia The value
Of the former has been affected Sc
riously by the output OF the distilleries
In this country. but the ammonia Is
produced only from shale. AID the
fluctuations ia its price have decided
very largely the profits Of the business
The crude shaIe oil has % be distilled
like petroleum and the lamp oil re-
fined from IL has a higher fash point
and density than that made from Pc
troleum. As the prize ot oil has fallen,
the shale distillesies have improved the
retoTts aud stills 20 an extent which
has resulted in the reduction in thu
cost Of the finished oil 20 little oEer
four cents a gallon. aboat ooe-siXth

SUIT wOx BY CITY.
Jury Returned a Verdict In Favor of the
Defendant liz Gaze of Lane vs.. wichita

Jury Return ed a Verdict In Favor OF the
Defendant in Case of Lane vs.. Wichita
The case IN which S. F. Lane sued the
city for $1e,50o for damages by reason
OF an injury he claimed to have sus-
tanned in falling on the corner OF Mar
ket and Second streets which has occu-
pied the district court for the past four
days, was given 10 the jury last night
and yesterday morning returned in TO
court a verdict for the defendant city.
The plaintiff, S. z. Lane. was repre-
scented by Anlidon & Conley OF this city
and Beaucamp & Rush of Enid. o. T.,
While the city was represented by
George w. Adams, city attorney. and
John W. Adams. The case was ,yigor-
ously. and ably contested On both sides
and is one of great interest to the peo-
PIE generally on account OF the many
important legal points involved in con-
'troyersy, as the plaintiff had fallen on
the pavement near the corner Of Mar
ket and Second streets, whereby ne
broke his hip and sustained a peruaa-
nent injury.
The plaintiffs contention was that
the pavement on Market street was i'm
properly and that the drainage and gut
dering were improperly constructed and
insufficient on account of large pond
OF water that had accumulated and
froze that caused plaintiff to
fall. The defendants contention
was that the pavement and gut
itering was properly constructed
that at all events under the
circumstances the defendant was
not liable for any damages that might
be sustained by the plaintiff.
This case occupied the attention of
the district court for about a week the
hast term OF court and resulted in
hung jury. Hence. this trial finally
ends this controversy and gives the
htigants to understand who sue the
city for damages, that the city does not
propose TO pay any claims that are
not just Chains against the city, and it
is safer for persons who desire pay for
all their injuries that they might sus-
tain upon dts sidewalks and street, to
take out an accident policy. than TO rely
upon a damage suit against the city.
Heretofore the city has paid out many
thousand dollars on account OF claims
for damages.
The city also won another substan-
tial victory at the present term of court
in the case OF Gibbony VS.. the city of
Wichita, in which 1T was sued for $500
claimed to be damages for defective
sidewalk in the south part of the city
Hence, in these two cases the city has
been relieved of an alleged liability for
damages of over fifteen Thousand dol
lars
