ELLENBoRo, w. Va. February 12.-
The we'll on w. Ii. Hamilton's farm,
near highland, is down 375 feet and
formations are similar to the Whisky
run country.
Owing to the miserab BILE condition of
the roads in this section, active work
in the fields in this section is some
what retarded, but the Ritchie county
roads are in much better condition
than on the Sistersville route, and
large quantities of material are being
hauled from this point and Pennsboro.
Several new locations have been
made on Whisky and Rock runs, and
little improvement in the roads will
bring renewed activity.
The Eureka Pipe Line Company now
have all the pipe strung on the Whisky
run line, and the work of laying the
line will begin in a day or two and give
employment to large force of men.
Since shooting Wanlass No. 2, at
Cairo, the well has been averaging
nearly a hundred barrels per day, and
is probably the best well in the Cairo
field
A rig is going up on the Carroll heirs
farm, just west of Cairo, and operators
will watch this venture closely, as a
producer in that direction will open
up an entirely new extension of the
field.
ThiSpoint would be an excellent To-
cation for an oil well repair shop, as
now all repairing must be done at
Marietta.
1t is said thirty new rigs are going
up in the Sugar creek country, which
extends from within six miles of this
place clear to the Kyle well on Indian
creek
All the oil now produced from the
Nesbitt well, on the Strickler farm, is
from the Keener sand, and is of q
beautiful amber color, but operator:
hope to find Big Injun oil. as that sand
is found in good thickness and quality

IN THE OIL FIELD 5.

SIsrERsvIrLE, Feb Is Operators
generally seem to think pretty well of
the territory in Washington county,
Ohio, below Mntamoras, and in the
vicinity of the well recently drilled in
by L. L. Metzgar and Others near Raw
en- Rock and the indications are that
there will be considerable work done
down ip that section as soon as it is
possible TO get machinery and other
material out on the leases. The Metz
gar well is still holding up very nicely,
and it looks very much now as though
there might be nice little field OPEN
ed up in that section. Among the prom
incnt operators who have taken up
large blocks. of leases in that section
areft the Henry Oil Coz whbjhave secnt-
ed several hundred acres in the vicihity v
of Yellow House, to the northeast of
the Metzsar well:} These 1leNses we're
taken only on the condition. that two
test. wells were to be drilled at once.
The Philadel phia Gas Co. also have a
block of leases in the near vicinity of
the Metzgar we'll, and will commence
testing their territory as soon as the
existing conditions will permit.
A. Stewart & Co. another operating
firm have secured two leases in close
proximity to the Metzgar we'll, one on
the McMahen heirs farm and the other
on the Dye farm. These leases are To-
Gated on either side of the Metzgar
we'll and we'll will be drilled on each
OF them.
Mcguire g. Co.'S. we'll on the Shea
farm out on Middle Island is drilling
ut about 1890 feet and should be in by
Friday night or Saturday morning.
This we'll is the one that attracted SO
much attention when oil was found in
the Cow Run sand. The well would
have made a paying producer in the
shallow sand but the owners thought
it best to go to the lower sands. Since
that well made such good showing in
the Cow Run sand all the available
territory in that section has been taken
up and a number of wells will be drill
ed to that sand. 1t is possible that a
shallow field will be opened up in the
back part of the country

PARKERsDURG, w. Va, February 12.--
The oil we'll which has been put down
by Otto lehman and associates, about
two miles south of the city of Parkers-
burg, on the waters of Meals run, came
in this evening and is said TO be doing
fifty barrels a day. The same company
has two or three thousand acres in the
immediate vicinity of this we'll and will
at once begin work on other wells.
j. B. Youngson, j. b. Little and c. j..
Cassidy, of Pennsylvania, will put

SHOOTING ARRAY.
Elmer Putnam Fires at Edward
Kline and Wounds Him Sc
verely-Other Rocky Springs
Matters.

Our correspondent sends the follow
ing: "On the evening of the 1lth inst.
some person or persons entered the
cellar of Mr.. David Main, who had
lust butchered, and stole several pieces
of meat. The thieves must have been
disturbed, as next morning Mr.. Main
discovered the cellar door open and the
meat gone; he found several pieces of
meat near his residence.
Last Friday afternoon two young
men, Edward M. Kline and Elmer
Putnam, both residents of this section,
met on the county road at this place.
Kline, who was drunk. accosted Elmer
Putnam and, as Putnam claims,
knocked him down. The result OF the
matter was that young Putnam got
into the field of Mr.. j. w. Biser, near
by, and endeavOred to get away. Kline
followed him, and, as Pullman states,
had stone in his hand. Mr.. Blser
was working in the same field and at
tempted to settle the difficulty. Kline,
as young Putnam states, persisted III
pursuing him with the stone in his
hand. Putnam had been hunting
aud had a gun with him and he fired
at Kline. the shot taking effect. Kline
made an cutlery that lie was shot and
hurried to the residence of Mr.. Biser
where his wounds were looked after.
Several shot had entered his face and
neck; the greater portion entered the
left side. Kline was taken to Freder-
lex and placed in the hands OF DR.. >.
II. Haffner for treatment. He is now
at his home, at this place, with his
parents, awaiting the result OF his
wounds. Young Putnam is under
bail for his appearance before the
proper authorities, dependent upon tie
result of Kline's injuries: Hines con-
dition is not critical. The unpleasant
affair has caused considerable COM
ment. as neither of the young men
were looked upon as troublesome char
acters.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Charles King Meets Death in a
Strange and Unaccountable
Manner-The Jury's Yer
dict.

A very mysterious case and one that
admits of some varied opinions on
both sides, is that of the death of Chas.
King, Jr, son of Chas. King. ST., OF
near Liberty, this county, who was
found dead on the roadside last Thurs
day morning by Charles Brown, whilst
on his way to townsville. An exami-
notion showed the skull to be crushed
and other evidence of either heavy
fall or terrible force at the hands of
parties unknown. The motive for the
deed could not have been robbery, for
i'm the young mau's various pockets
was found $4.2O, and other articles of
value were not disturbed. He was
riding horseback, and some think he
was thrown heavily, sustaining the in
iuries noticed above. The authorities
were at once notified, and jury of
inquest viewed the remains. Elias
Brown was coroner and Joseph Crum
was foreman. Several medical men
examined the body and after all testl-
mony was given, rendered verdict
that the deceased came 10 his deatn III
a manner unknown to the jury. The
police authorities are working on the
case now and hope TO unravel the mys-
terry.

How to Prevent Group.

Some re0ding that UiW prove inter
e,ating to yOatng mothers HoO to guard
against the disease.
Group is a terror to young mothers
aud to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms aud treatment is the
object of this item. The origin of Group
is common cold. Children who are
subject to it take cold very easily and
Group is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is
soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized and
will never be forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time to act is when the
child first becomes hoarse. If Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is freely Civ
en- all tendency to Group will soon dis
appear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the at
tack. There is no danger in giving
this remedy, for it contains nothing
injurious. For sale by A. l.. Pearre,

Flourishing Condition of the Fred
erick Y. M. G. A.

Since May the first. of this year, the
Young Mems Christian Association
has made remarkable progress in every
department. Their building, at No.
East Church street, has been thorough
~ renovated, and is as cheerful and in
viting as one could desire.
"A much larger and better supply of
reading matter has been placed in the
reading room. All the leading daiIies,
weeklies and monthlies are received at
the earliest moment, and are placed on
the files for the use of the public. Sew
eral new games have been placed in
the game room. The parlor has been
thoroughly refurnished. A new bath
outfit (the best in the city, consisting
of two showers and one tub, has been
put in, furnishing hot and cold water
at any time of the day or evening.
A complete new outfit of gymnasium
apparatus has been put in, and regular
class instruction is given to those who
desire It,
A night school has been opened,
with classes in English, Mechanical
Drafting, Shorthand and Typewriting.
The very best instruction is given and
the attendance is increasing. A lit
erary and Debating society has been
organized and gives promise of good
work. The Sunday afternoon Mems
meetings have been better than ever.
and the attendance, on an average,
is much larger.
The membership is rapidly increas-
ing and we expect it to reach $50 by
May LIST.
The committee work has been good,
and the Ladies' Auxiliary has done
splendid work in helping along the
improvements. There has been a
reaching out for the young men who
heretofore have not come in touch
with the association; this has caused
material increase in the attendance
at the rooms. A system of visitation
among the sick men and boys of the
city has been inaugurated.
Set young men to work for the up
building and saving of young men," is
the principle upon y hich the associa-
ton is working. All these things have
been brought about by the hardest
kind of work, and it is the purpose of
the association 10 strengthen the work
now in hand and to open up new
lines as fast as it can be done.
For number of wears debt of $500
has been hanging over the association,
and it has determined to wipe this out
and be able to say, when the associa-
ton year closes, April 80, that not a
