the Mrs. Maggie Busby farm In all
the wells there was light showing OF

oil men think Indications are good for a

They have at last found 2oO-barrel
oil well IN Noble county. II Is on the
farm Of P. B. Ellison, near Crooked
Tree. The Caldwell Republican says:
'The well is said to be the best producer
ever found in Noble county, and opens
IN a new territory. Only one screw
was drilled in the sand when the oil be-
gan TO fiow at a high rate. With the
tools in the well the oil flowed every
hour, and at times was forced over the
top Of the derrick. and before a tank
could be erected hundreds OF barrels OF
OH was lost. The well is One-halt mile
west OF any other well drilled In Noble
county, and during the drilling the
showing became so good that the stock
advanced from 500 to 500 per shRre."

ness.
TOO FEW WERE PRESENT

There was no meeting of the committee
Of the whole yesterday morning. There
were only seven Supervisors present when
the time for the session came around and
their sense of the propriety of legisating
on the tax levy stopped short of proceed
ing without any more than bare quorum.
Supervisor Taylor was not there. Had
he been present the meeting might have
gone on, and in that case the colonel was
primed for a speech which would have
scared his brothers in the board. He feels
nsulted-deeply insulted-by the action
ofnthe board in placing the duties of the
Finance Committee in the hands OF the
committee of the whole. Colonel TAYLOR.
the chairman OF the Finance COMMITTEES
has been delving into books and papers in
company with a couple of experts in or
der to be ready with a proper report on
the appropriations for the municipal de-
partments. For this reason when the
matter was summarily taken out of the
Finance Committees hands the colonel
felt he and the committee had been in
suited. His wrath has been rising all
these days. and by yesterday morning he
had arrived at point where he could coin
his wrath into words and pour it upon the
heads OF his colleagues. But he was not
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-30

there, for after the meeting of Tuesday
night he decided he would not take hand
in the mornings proceedings.
When the meeting opened King. Hirsch,
Dimond, bunker, Morgenstern, Benjamin
and Wagner were present The Mayor
called the seven Supervisors to order, and
then Dimond suggested that as there were
so few present it were better TO adjourn
the meeting of the committee of the whole
until Monday afternoon just before the
board meeting.
King objected to this. He said the
meeting had been called to transact GER
tain business, and that it should be gone
through with, but the others wore no such
air OF bravado, and Supervisor Dimond's s
motion to adjourn was carried. King.
Benjamin and Wagner voted against Di-
mond's motion.
Just after the meeting adjourned
Hughes came in, and at once announced
that had be been there he would have sub
mltted resolution resembling that by
which the matter of department appro-
priations had been taken away from the
Finance Committee. But then Hughes
did not arrive in time to present his reso-
luton.
1t IS confidently predicted that when
the Monday meeting of the committee of
the whole is called the committee will de-
eide to adjourn to the board meeting, and
then, as a board, the Supervisors will con-
slider the report OF the finance committee.
That committee has done all the work on
the tax levy, anyway, and that may be
made an excuse for allowing the obiec-
tionable resolution to lapse. The mass
meeting of Tuesday night has had an
effect upon the Supervisors, and an inter-
view printed yesterday in the CALL, one
in which Colonel Taylor made some sem
sational statements anent bribing and
the Supervisors, also had its weight IN
the meeting which fizzled out yesterday
morning.
When the Supervisors were leaving the
meeting-room they were met by District
Attorney Barnes, who served each with
copy of the accusation filed against the
seven by the Grand Jury.
