Parkersburg, W. Va. February 2S.-
Operators are greatly interested in the
deep we'll on the Ogdin farm at Wa
verify. and consider the strike of vast
importance and an incentive towards
a great deal of work in the deep sand.
The well is now making over a hundred
barrels a day, but will improve when ii
is shot. which will be done tomorrow.
A big gas we'll was struck to-day on
the Henderson farm about two miles
back of WilliamstOwn, by the McTag-
CART Oil Company, of Marietta. The
well was struck in the Big Injun sand
at d depth of / 500 feet. and the pres
sure is very great. Oil men are of the
impression that the Big Injun pool will
in the near futuer be found near the
well.
The well of the McTagart Oil Compa-
ny. of this City. on the McTaggart farm
near Williamstown. was drilled in at
a depth of 200 feet last night and
heavy pressure of gas was found. The
we'll will be sold and not drilled deeper
as first reported.
A test we'll will be put down as soon
as preparations are made for drilling
on large block of leases at Grants
Vile. Calhoun county, by the Grants
Vile Oil Company, composed of citi-
zens of Grantsville, who will test the
territory at that place thoroughly.
Word comes here from Athens Ohio,
to-day 10 the effect that the we'll on
StrOud's Run, near Ath|ls. is good for
at least 40 barrels a day. Pumping
machinery is being put in and tankage
erected. The well is considered of
great importance and opens up a new
neld in Ohio
An old abandoned oil well at Burn
ing Springs, which was being cleaned
out by the Gillespie Oil Company,
caught fire and the rig and well were
totally destroyed. When the drill
struck a bridge in the hole the oil and
gas spOuted out over the derrick and
ignited, with the above disaster. The
drillers escaped.

Drunkards are cursed with craving, gnawing

When. legal papers are served by mail
the postage must be prepaid In full to
make the service valid. The Office boy
of a prominent Broadway firm a few
days ago put a 2-cent stamp on a let
ter containing the summons and COM
plant in case and mailed it to the
defendants counsel. The postage was
2 cents short and the defendants coun-
sci, after paying the additional 2 cents,
was in a position to claim judgment by
default. on the ground that he had not
been legally served. The plaintiff
attorney Immediately got an order to
show cause why the default should not
be opened. There was long argument
in court and several lengthy affidavits
were submitted. The case was finally
reopened upon payment by the plaintiff
of $50 costs. Thus the time of the
court for nearly two hours, $50 and
costs, and the fees of two leading law
yers were made necessary to correct a
mistake of cents By an Office boy.
