island Field Prospects Arc Not Very
BrIght-In the Gould Field.


srccinl Dispatch to the Intelligencer.
sTEUBENv1LLE o., Feb. 2.-The
Castner OIL Company, which has drill
ed three wells in the Island Creek field,
has concluded not to drill any more
wells In that territory. The three wells
produce barely enough oil 10 pay oper-
ating expenses. Out OF the large num-
her of wells drilled In the Island Creek
field none has panned out better than
ten barrels,
The oil men who have been operating
near Smithfield have drilled four wells
on the Cope. Cole, Dorrnnce and Gal
braith farms, one on each. and oil dust
ers, SO that they are disguised.
Operations in the Gould field will
likely hc extensive this summer by
outside parties who hnVe acquired ter
ritory near developed farms. There is
general belief that there Is n greater
pool In this field than has yet been
touched, and this belief will stimulate
operations. The production OF the field
is keeping up very fairly.
The Mack Company, OF New Cumber-
lhnd, will drill well for gas east OF
their works, and II they strike gas they
will use II to burn brick in their big
kiln.
Representatives OF the BrIdgewater
oil s. Gas Company which recently
sold It's Turkeyfoot field interests, are
trying to purchase an interest in 1850
acres OF lcases held about Richmond by
A. II. Graham and others. The terri
tory lies between the GouldE, Island
Creek and Bprghols producing fields.
Tho RrIdgewater Company has boon
offered onc-fourth Interest in the leases
II Il agrees to furnish money to help de-
vclOp the territory,
The Edmlston we'll increased Its flow
one day Inst week and is doing better
than expected. Other wells will be
drilled In the vicinity,
The Alliance OIL Company's No, 2
well at BerghOlE increased Its now last
week and commenced pumping oil at
the rate OF barrel In twenty minutes.
The No, I well was drilled TO the sand
and then work stopped by thu drlllers,
who struck because their pay had not
been forthcoming, Both wells are on
the Moore snrm.

RuMoR Is BUSY,
bat No cisw Has Yet Been Found to the
Fort Thomas Murderer.


CINCINNATI. o., Feb. IA hun
dred different clews to the murder and
beheadIng of woman near Fort
Thomas on Friday night are floating
to-day. Many OF them have been
traced to worthless origin. The sher-
IN of Campbell county. KY. and all the
detectives on both sides of the river are
working on the case. Not single ar
rest on suspicion has been made and
not single suspicion has settled upon
any man as the perpetrator nor has
any thread been discovered likely to
lead to the Identification ofthe woman.
All the ponds as well as the Covtugton
reservoir have been dragged. +,
The water Is going out OF the reser-
voir as II has been for twenty-tour
hours. II will be well towards noon to-
morrow before It will be empty. Then
search in the mud for the head can be
made.
Meantime rumor is busy on all the
streets tonight. One story generally
circulated Is that the head has been
found and that the murderer. q Fort
Thomas soldier. has committed suicide.
Ample investigation ut first hand has
shown this to be wholly false. There is
one theory on which there Is a general
agreement and that Is that the woman
was murdered in an attempt to take
either money or papers from her per-
son. This inference is justified by the
signs OF n struggle and the torn condi-
zion of the-wUffHrA thing.

UNION, NO., Feb. 2.-The celebrated
case Of DR.. Arthur Duegtrow. the st.
Louis millionaire, who has been on trial
during the past month for the cold
biooded murder OF his wife and baby
two years ago, ended to-day, the jury
returning verdict OF guilty in the first
degree. After arguments that took up
the greater portion Of Saturday. and
lasted untIl almost mldnighE, the case
was given to the jury the members OF
which went to rest without conside1-
ing 1t. This morning the jury LOOK up
the case and on the first ballot nnanl-
mousIy found the defendant guilty oL
murder In the first degree, The result
was reached without much trouble,
each member Of Thc jury seemingly
having settled the case In his own mind
in thellnteryal between midnight ana
this morning. This verdict Is received
Nth almost universal satisfaction. Thls
is the second trial that Or. DueStrow
has had on the charge OF murder, the
first one resulting in hung jury last
year.
charged was committed In February,
1894. One day thar month his wife and
child were at home awaiting ms COM
ing to take n drive. When he came INTO
the house, Duestrow, who was drunk,
began 10 abuse his wife and finally
shot her down in cold blood. Ee then
pjcked up his three-yeae.old boy, q
beautiful child, and, holding It at arms
length, killed It with pistol shot
through the head. HIS wife fingered for
several days and finally died.
After his arrest, Duestrow, with the
help OF his fortune, tried TO eVade the
consequences OF his crime. ES-GoVer-
nor johnson, who Is credited with be-
ing one OF the finest criminal lawyers
OF this state. was given charge o. Sne
case and was assisted by Colonel Nal
Dryden, Charles holland and ]. Wesley
Booth. Prosecuting Attorney Zaehar-
itZ. OF St. Louis, was assisted by Judge
IJolte, prosecuting attorney OF Frank
lin county, Judge Gallepkamp and Lee
Meriweafher. Counsel for the detsnsa
cndsayored to establish a plea OF in
sanity, but after two inquiries held
before iurIes in which much expert tes-
tInony was heard on both sides, Il was
given up and the case came to trial IN
Union, a change OF venue having been
takeh from st. Louis. The nrst trial
ended In hung Jury.
Judge HirzeI, Governor johnson and
his assistants kept up the inEanity
idea and were ably seconded by the de-
fcndant, who endeavored to create the
impression that he was crazy.
When the result Of the tury's deliber-
afions were made known to-day, Dues
troW's counsel stated that an apepal TO
