RIVER OF FIRE.
on on the Waters Of the Mississlnewa
Ablaze.

Munich, Ind. March s.-Residents along
the Mississinewa river Witnessed a novel
sight Saturday night. An anchored oil
well on Eli Peterson's farm broke loose.
and a large STREAM Of oil flowed from
the well into the river. II IS supposed
that some one in fofllng the river threw
a lighted match into the river. for the
oil caught fire. The sight was beau-
tiful one. For nearly a mile. right in
the river, the stream OF oil burned. and
in the night IL looked as IL the nvsr was
really ON FIRE. Several bridges were mar
rowly prevented from burning. The well
was finally anchored down again. with
no loss to life or property.
