Wichita, Kas., April 4.-The first in
stance of a court recognizing the Roent-

ing a fact in evidence is that in which
the District United States Court direct
ed a shadowgraph be taken of the wrist
of Peter Noel. who is suing the Santa
Fe road for $4,000 damages for wrong
ly setting the fracture of his wrist. The
question of what the best evidence is in
a case of that kind came up and all the
parties interested, as well as the court,
agreed that in the light of modern sci
ence. a shadowgraph of the wrist would
be the best evidence. Consequently
the court directed Lucian Blake, pro-
fessor of electricity in the State Uni

Sistersville, w. Va, April 4.-As
result of the developments in the Indian
Greek territory during the past "a hours
quite a number of oil men are wearing
broad smiles on their faces.
Gufy e Co. s No. l, on the Pitts farm,
has been drilled into the pay and is
producing at the rate of % barrels an
hour, according to a private dispatch
from the field at two o'clock this after
noon to the Register correspondent.
The dispatch further states that the
Victor Oil and Gas Co. S well on the
Spencer farm is making in the neigh
bordhood of 10 barrels a day, and that
the Carter Oil Co. s we'll on the Seek
man farm is holding up at the rate OF
IS barrels an hour.
Gartley & Co.. S well on the Clarke
farm is reported to be dry at 107 feet
in the sand.
The Fisher Oil Co.'S well on the
Langsdorf farm has also been drilled
through the Big Injun sand without
a sufficient show of oil to make pay
ing well. The casing will be pulled
and the we'll abandoned in the near
future.

Amber oil is flowing into the tank
at the ROgersOn well, near Moundsville,
at the rate of five and one-half barrels
an hour, and it keeps it up the entire
"a hours in the day. Since the new
tanks have been set up and the pump
run at full speed, the output has
jumped from IS to 1872 barrels a day.
The old cups are still on the rods. If
new ones were put on, the production
would still go higher. There is but
very little water with it.
1t is the finest mineral oil produced
in the world since the Smiths Ferry
field has become exhausted.
Two tanks of 25O barrels capacity
each have been erected and work is
now under way on a 1850 barrel one
1t is understood that a pipe line will
be laid to the railroad and the oil ship
ped in tank cars. Oil Of that quality
sells for quite a premium to independ
ent refineries that refine it into machine
oils.
Although leasers are securing the ter
ritory and the same company, the North
Penn, has made two more locations,
yet nothing tangible has been done to-
ward more drilling.
The drill in the Toms run we'll has
passed through the Cow Run sand and
found but slight trace of oil. A small
cave has given considerable trouble.
The drillers are off to-day waiting for
casing.
The stuck tools have been abandon
ed in the Viola we'll and the rig will
be moved and a new hole started.

AN EXPENSIVE MISTAKE.
Wood" Alcohol Sold Instead Of the
Medicinal VARIETY

Frederick Wilding, who resides at $40
South Olive street, has suffered pain
both physical and mental-has been
threatened with lifelong Disagreement,
and now is modest in demanding only
$500 by way of damages.
The story of his trouble is briefly as
follows: On Saturday night, September
5, he asked his daughter Isabel to go
down to the drug store at the corner
of Sixth street and Broadway and get
him some pure alcohol, such as is used
for medicinal purposes" She took an
empty bottle and. as desired, went to the
drug store kept by John H. Trout, and
asked for the particular kind of alcohol,
as directed.
Upon returning home Miss Isabel gave
her puchase to her father, and he made
a preparation of one tablespoonful Of
alcohol to seven tablespoonsfuls of wa
ter, and bathed his face with the lotion.
The prescription had been given to him
by a medical friend as cure for sun
burn. 1t was not long before Mr.. Wild.
ing discovered that mistake had been
made somewhere. His face and eyes be-
came inflamed, and for two weeks he
was confined to bed The pain he suf-
fered was most acute, and as he alleges
he suffered mental anguish by reason of
the fear that he would be disfigured and
possibly lose his eyesight and be in
capacitated from earning his livelihood.
An investigation revealed the fact that
the alcohol supplied to Mr. Wilding's
daughter was wood" alcohol, described
chemically as an "irritant poison" and
not the form of alcohol sold for medicin-
al purposes.
For time Mr.. Wilding was partially
blind and still uses his eyes with diff
Guilty. and has been unable for four
weeks to attend to his work. For loss in
business as well as damage suffered in
body and mind, he asks the court to
award him $500.
The herald., 1896-12-06

The action was an application on the
part Of San Francisco and San Joaquin
Railroad company for writ of man
damus to compel the trustees of the city
of Fresno to act upon their application
for leave to extend its railroad track
through the city of Fresno. The court
in that case says: When a railroad is
constructed to the boundaries of town
or city the corporate authorities may be
as desirous as the builders of the road to
have it pass through on its selected
route, but their hands are tied. They
cannot grant the privilege to any but the
highest bidder, and the highest bidder
may be one who simply desires to pre-
vent the road from passing through and
who cannot make any use of the fran
chise except for that purpose. In fact
the franchise sought is not the subject
of competition.
THE franchise In this case clearly
falls within the reasoning of People ex
rel. VS.. Craycroft, and in such case the
franchise can be granted without COM
plying with the requirements of the act
of 1893 These objections raised to the
complaint are fatal to the action, rem
dering 1t unnecessary to consider any OF
the other objections urged"
The herald., 1896-12-06
THE ELECTION CONTEST.
Tuesday the Day Upon Which the Count
Will Be Made.

The Bartholomew-Owens case has
not been settled yet, but virtually 1t mas
by the overruling of the demurrer by
Judge York on Friday afternoon.
Yesterday Judge York handed down
a lengthy opinion covering the several
points raised, by demurrer. In the
course of his opinion the court says:
THE investigation proposed is one IN
which the public at large are deeply
concerned. 1t necessarily involves d
question of broader import than the
mere individual claim of designated
person to enjoy the honors and emoiu-
ments of the particular office brought
directly in contest. The inquiry must
be as to whether or not the popular
will on the selection of officers ana
to administer the public affairs has
been, in given instance, or is about 10
be, defeated or thwarted by mistake
happened or fraud concocted. 1t is.
therefore, not an ordinary advisory pro-
ceeding, for, as against this high pubic
interest concerned, there can be no
recognized adversary.
ALLEGATIONS of causes of contest on
information and belief have been COM
mon practice of the courts of this state
and have been upheld by our supreme
court. The allegation that in each Of
the precincts mentioned in the COM
paint, being all the precincts in the city
of Los Angeles, the boards of judges or
officers of election. each of the members
Of said board of judges or officers
of election were guilty of malcon-
duct, is sufficient to advise the de-
fendant of a cause of the contest of the
election, and in this repsect gives to the
defendant as complete information as it
would if it were stated specifically and
separately of each of said precincts. If
it is true that the boards Of election have
counted votes which were cast for Bar
tholomew for Owens to the extent Of
over hundred, and thereby have de-
clared Owens elected when Bartholo-
NEW was in fact elected, the public in
terest is such that the mere inability of
the plaintiff to designate the exact num-
Der Of votes improperly counted should
not interfere with an application .sus-
tanning the expressed will of the electors.
Other Irregularities are alleged which,
II true, entitled Bartholomew to the of-
flee of city justice instead Of Owens. It
is contended by defendant that the ;r-
regularities referred to did not consti-
tute malconduct on the part Of the oard
OF judges or any member thereof NAL
conduct Is bad wrong or fraudulent
conduct. There is certainly very
strong presumption that II votes were
cast for bartholomew and counted for
Owens. such proceeding was wrong
conduct by the board of Judges.
The criticisms made by the defend
ant of laintiffs complaint are more in
the nature of criticism upon the law as
made by the legislature, and as con-
strued by the courts than a criticism CT
the pleading itself"
Yesterday afternoon counsel on
either side came into court at o'clock
and wrangled over the signing of the
stipulation referred to by The Herald
Yesterday. Judge York gave them un-
til Monday to make up their minds. and
intimated that he would then adjourn
to tuesday when the count would begin.
