1t seems that an eyewitness of the
robbery has been discovered, man
who saw the two girls take the money.
Bessie Lowe, II seems, was not with

taking the money. 1t is likely to go
hard with them this time.

Parkersburg. w. Va, February "a.
The controversy over the Schilb farm
leases in the Big Kate field has been
settled, and operations in that field
will be conducted on a rather extern
siye scale. Three locations have been
made on the Schilb farm by Deem &
Berry. who will get the material on
the ground as soon as possible. These
wells will be drilled in the Cow Run
sand.
The well on Sisk, at Valley Mills,
which was drilled by Parkersburg
Co.. about a year ago, and abandoned
on account of a cave, is nearly full OF
oil. and the farmers OF the vicinity
have been getting oil out of the hole
and using it for fuel, as much as a
barrel at a time.
The Eastern Oil Companies well on
c. p. Ross farm at Wayerly, has been
drilled in and is good for 80 barrels
a day.
Baer & Co., Of Wheeling, to-day
struck a good producing well in the
Berea Grit at 2,250 feet, on the Lewis
Ogden farm. near Wayerly. The we'll
is reported a gusher.
The Lubbock Oil Company drilled in
their we'll near here this morning.
Rumors of all sorts were afoat to-day
regarding the well, and some Of the
reports created vast amount of eX-
citement. 1t is thought the drill IS
now in a stray sand, and when work
ceased on the well last night the en-
CINE had to be removed on account o!
the gas. the pressure Of which is very
heavy. When the drillers lowered the
hailer this morning it was found TO
contain considerable oil The owners
ondeavored to keep the matter secret
but It became known, and large crowds
drove out to the we'll this evening to
see It drilled in.

Sistersville, w. Va, February "a
A special message received from Cen
Ireville about 10 o'clock this morning
stated that the Victor Oil Company's
No. l, on the Lloyd Weekly farm, out
on Indian creek, Yves drilled in and
was a gusher This we'll was drilled in
to the first pay last week. but on ac-
count of the heavy gas pressure it was
almost impossible to drill it deeper. 1t
reached the second pay this morning
and Immediately started to flow at the
rate of 40 barrels an hour, which gait
il was keeping up late this afternoon.
This well is located 600 feet north
west of the same company's No. / on
the Kyle farm which was drilled in
few weeks ago and started OF at the
same rate as this well, but later drilled
itself in and increased its production to
at one time more than 80 barrels an
hour. The Weekly was. perhaps. the
most important we'll drilling out in
that section, and it dispels the thought
which was gaining currency that the
big Kyle well was a freak. This well
opens up big lot of new territory.
The coming in of such a big producer
will stimulate operations to a wonder
full degree out in that section, and Sis
tersville will be greatly benefited by it.
AS soon as it is possible to get material
out there a great deal of work will be
started.
The Victor Oil Company commenced
spudding this morning at their No. I
on the John Sackman farm, out in the
vicinity of the big Kyle well on Indian
creek.
The Kanawha Oil Company's No. 3
on the Anthony Smith farm, out near
Wick, reached the top Of the sand last
night and is showing with heavy
gas pressure, but so far there has been
no oil.
The production of the Bullman well
yesterday was 100 barrels.
The price of credit balances dropped
two cents this morning on all oils ex-
cept Lima and Indiana.
The we'll being drilled on the Thomas
Smith farm, near Cenreville, was on
top of the first pay this morning and
had to be shut down, as the gas pressure
was so heavy it was impossible to drill
1t any deeper.
The Kyle No. / made a little over
1000 barrels yesterday.
The South Penn Oil Company's No.
I, on the Andrew Sackman farm was
started spudding this morning

In reference to the London cable
gram in which it was stated that the
London Sporting Club would offer a
purse for a match between Corbett and
Fitzsimmons. provided the former
would apologize for his utterances con-
corning the club, Corbett said this
evening:
IF Fitzsimmons will agree to meet
me before the National Sporting Club
l will make ample apology to that or
ganization. although | do not think |
have ever done or said anything for
which | should apologize. However, l
am determined TO leave no stone I'M
turned in the endeavor to bring about
a contest between Fitzsimmons and
myself. There is one provision, how
ever, that I shall insist upon, and that
is that the referee shall be an Amer
lean.
Il stand ready to close up my show
on two weeks notice, and will go into
active training just as soon as articles
are signed for the fight"
There are some people," continued
Corbett, who right from the start of
my career in the ring have abused me
and doubted that l was honest in every
thing that l ever said or Gkl. These
same people are the ones who are
sneering at my present standing chal-
lenge to Fitzsimmons, and say that l
will never fight. l will fight if Fitz-
simmons gives me the chance. He will
not accept my challenge because he
wants to, but the public will force him
into it eventually"
