The Kyle and Weekly wells haye
been the attractions, but the most sem
sational announcement relative to
these two gushers was given out dur
ing the week when it was stated that
they were falling off in oil and increas-
ing their flow of salt water. This was
an innovation to those familiar with
Big Injun territory. 1t is said to have
been the rule to get the big dose of
salt water first and the flow of oil to
increase as the briny product was re-
duced, but the general rule has been
reversed with the Indian Creek gush-
ers. Aside from that point it can be
said that the two wells were on even
terms in point Of oil production at the
first of the week, each producing about
900 barrels day. When the week
closed 600 and 700 barrels a day was
the relative production of the Weekly
and Kyle wells.
One of the attractions out on Indian
Creek during the week was the Dem
vonian's Kyle No. .. When this well
was drilled to the top of the sand
Thursday il was reported to be bet
ter we'll than either one of the other
big wells drilled in out there. The
well made one big flow and then filled
up with salt water and oil. Since that
time the well has been standing full of
fluid and deeper drilling has made no
improvement in it-Review.

Kansas City, Mo-, December %
Blue Cut, made historic through the
operations there of the James and
Younger bands, when they were pion-
GERS in the train robbing industry, was
the scene tonight of its fourth hold
up by road agents.
At 9:2O o'clock tonight the st. Louis
and Chicago express, which left Kan
sas City at S:45, was tagged at Blue
Cut and came to a standstill. Masked
men Immediately covered the engineer
and firemen and compelled them to get
down from their cab. At the same
time another member of the bandit
gang uncoupled the express car from
the rest OF the train. The robbers
quickly climbed aboard the locomotive
and the express car, and before the
surprised tTainmen had time to collect
their wits the bandits were speeding
down the steep grade beyond Blue Cut
with the engine and the express coach,
and Express Messenger A. J. Fryer, OF
St. Louis, a prisoner in the car.
Kansas City officials OF the United
States Express Company. state that the
train carried very little cash. Christmas
boxes made up a considerable amount Of

gine dead in a cut mile east Of Glendale

love of liberty is shown in their strong
sympathy with the Cuban insurgents
Every day during the past six months
there have been encounters in the City Of
Mexico between Spaniards and Mexicans,

gathered in that city inhamed by a cir
cular said to have been written by
Spaniard and defamlng Mexicans and
Mexican institutions. especially in ref

the Cubans This circular precipitated a
riot crowd gathered early in the even
ing. constantly growing in numbers and
violence until at 10 o'clock it had reached
the proportions of a mob and swept
everything before it.
The mob gathered around the Spanish
consulate and threatened 20 demolish the
structure. but were finally controlled by
one or two cool heads The Spanish con-
sui was IN great peril and appealed to the
authorities to protect him. The mob LEFT

A TEXAS STEER
Teaches Millionaire Nelson Morris
and a Friend a LeSsOu---Will Not
Monkey With Wild Cattle Agar.

CHICAGO. December 23.-Nelson Morris,
the millionaire packer had a narrow es-
cape from being gored by a fractions steer
to-day, but ]. c. Bobart, of the Bobart
Commission Company did not fare as for
tunately and was badly hurt.
Mr. Morris and Mr.. Bobart went into
cattle pen at the stock yards to inspect
CONSIGNMENT of cattle. and things were
agreeable al around until Mr. Morris
prodded with his cane q steer with abb
normally wide horns that was lying down
in q corner of the pen. The steer jumped
up with a snort and made charge for the
two men. There was a wild rush for the
fence, Mr. Morris leading, Mr.. Bobart a
close second, the steer third and gaining
rapidly. Mr.. Morris just managed to get
on the correct side of the fence but he
had not more than three inches to spare.
The first object that met his eye as he
turned around to look at things, was the
form of Mr.. Bobart coming down from up
in the air somewhere. The steer had
caught him squareiy and thrown him high.
When he descended he fell with a mighty
splatter in the feed trough and to this fact
he owes his life The steer made frantic
efforts to gore him, but its horns were so
wide it could not get them down into the
trough where Mr.. Bobart lay unconscious.
Mr.. Morris pounded the steer over the
head with a piece Of scantling, but could
not drive 1t away and not until all the
cattle had been driven into another pen,
could the steer be made to move away from
the trough.
Mr.. Bobarts shoulder was dislocated, he
was badly cut on the head and neck and
terribly bruised. His injuries though SER
ious. are not fatal.

Hale Does Not Believe Cuban In
dependence Will be Recognized.
Washington, D. c., December 29.-
Senator Hale has received a letter form
Senator Hoar, who is absent from the
city, announcing his opposition to the
Cuban resolutions and asking Senator
Hale to pair him in any way that will
defeat, delay, or bring to confusion
the resolutions reported from the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.
Senator Hale, who is expected to lead
the opposition to the Cuban resolutions
in the Senate, is preparing for the con-
tlict which he expects 10 follow the
holiday recess. 1t is the general I'M
derstanding that the question will Be
one Of the first to be raised after the
reconvening of Congress, and it is look
ed forward to as a battle royal. "The
advocates of the resolution" said the
Maine Senator to-day, were at first
inclined to claim twO-thirds majority.
l doubt whether they feel so sanguine
now, and / am sure they would not If
they knew how rapidly the conserva-
tive sentiment in the Senate is grow
ing"
Il was sorry to see" =" the Senator con-
tinued, that had been quoted as say
ing in boastful manner that we should
be able to defeat the resolution on q
vote. | would not want to claim that
result at the present time, but l hope
for it in the end. Indeed I am receiv-
ing assurances from influential Sena-
tors every day Of sympathy with the
movement in opposition to the resolu-
tion, and believe the sentiment in the
country is rapidly veering that way.
True there is an undesirable condition
of affairs in Cuba, but believe the re-
ports are exaggerated. At any rate it
is true that however cruel the conduct
Of the Spaniards it finds its counterpart
in the behavior OF the Cubans. It is
their way Of fighting; they are different
from us. From whatever standpoint
the question is regarded there is no
excuse in reason or precedent for the
United States to interfere in this in
surrection. l believe the Senate is
rapidly coming to realize this and am
therefore confident OF success in the
end"
1T has been intimated," suggested
the Associated Press reporter. that
you will flibuster to defeat the Cam
eron resolution in the Senate?'
''No truth whatever in that" he re
sp0nded. 1T will not be Necessary
that we should do so. The question
raised by the committee is one of vast
magnitude and it will excite much de-
bate. We are willing that this subject
should be brought up promptly and
are content to use only legitimate
weapons in our warfare against it,
