MANY STRANGE THINGS.
They Happened at Booths OIL Well tn
Night Lincoln Was Shot.

Il may forget all of the numerous re-
markable and startling incidents that
were a part of the pioneer development
of the Pennsylvania oil region. and
have forgotten many of them. but tt ne
is one that is indeiibly impressed upon
my mind. as it no doubt is on the mind
of every surviving participant in the
doipgs of those lively days" said one OF
those old-timers. "The famous old
Homestead well, where oil was struck
in the early partof 1865. was the gnsher
that started the rush to pithole creek
and brought into existence iu the viii.
derness a city OF 1900 inhabitants al
most as quickly as it could have been
done by the magic of Aladdin's lamp.
John Wilkes Booth was on a visit
to tbs oil country about that time
looking for investments, and he paid
for a one-thirteenth interest in the
Homestead well. Oil was selling for 81
a barrel then. and the Homestead was
gushing hundreds Of barrels a day.
"When the news came in April that
Lee had surrendered and that the wal
was over, among the hundreds of flags
that were hoated in Pithole as evidences
of the Joy that was felt over the great
event was one from the top OF the der.
rick at the Homestead well. When,
quickly following these glad tidings,
the terrible news was received of the
assassination of President Lincoln ev.
cry one of these flags, except one, were
lowered to half-mast as a mark of the
people mourning for the martyred chief.
That one flag was the one that had
been raised over the Homestead wei
in rejoicing for the triumph of our arms

of April IA, 1865, at the very minute

flames instantly wrapped the Homestead

when the sad news was received al
Pithole of the death of Lincoln the towr
was %overhung with a pail as black Al

the ruins of the we'll that had poured
money into the assassin's hands; money
no doubt, which he used in laying our

property.

had not been assassinated. but they
