OIL N EWS.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register
Sistersville, w Va, February IA
Some time ago the South Penn Oil Co.
leased a block of 100 acres of land from
John Seckman, out near Centreville.
Later when the Victor Oil Company
started to drill their well on the Furbee
farm the South Penn gave them 66
acres OF the Seckman lease if they
would drill near the line and test the
South PENIS territory. 1t seems that
when the South Penn leased the land
part of it belonged to the heirs. When
work was commenced drilling the test
we'll the heirs showed up and demand
ed their rights. For the past couple OF
months everything connected with the
lease has been tied up, but yesterday
the claims of the heirs was satisfied by
the South Penn paying them $1,000
each for their interest in the oil rights
of the lease.
Lawrence &, Work, whose No. on c..
c. Schauwecker was drilled in the first
of the week, have at least a so barrel
well and probably much more, as they
report As feet of sand. This well is
some thousand feet to the southwest
of Broad Run developments and pretty
well in line with Fraushot Bros AM
bier we'll on Long Run.
Mallory Bros Eliza Delong well
cameSn this week and is good for 10 or
20 barrels per day. This we'll is to the
southwest of developments and Is fur
thest up the run of the producing wells.
The well drilled on Geo. p. Fetty S
farm by Dr. Hassel and w. r. lsham,
of Wheeling. and e. w. Russell. ofthis
CITY is flowing immense quantities or
salt water, second only to the big
Archer salt well. and the general opin-
ion is that it will produce oil after the
salt water is exhausted.
John p. Shay. of Washington, Pa,
passed through town to-day on his way
home from the back part Of the coun-
tv. He reports the well on the j. B.
Smith farm drilled in by himself and
Fl. McMullen as making 200 barrels a
dav. The well is 500 feet west of the
Hardham farm and about two miles
from the Kyle well. The land is own
ed bv ]. B. Smith. the well known mer-
chant of Shirley Messrs. Shay and
McNullen have 400 acres under lease
in that territory and are drilling now
five wells, all of which promise to be
good producers.
The Victor oil Company are still
fishing for the tools lost in their No. l
on the Lloyd Weekly .arm, out on In
dian creek
Shay & Mc1Iullen are still fishing at
their well on the Weekly farm, out on
Middle Island creek.
Ramey e Co. have a fishing job at
their No. on the Tuel farm, and it is
hard to tell when twill bedrilledin.
This well was due in the sand last eve
ming.
Mr.. Tice will begin to spud on his
well on the Cook farm in Wetzel coun-
ty next week.

swift current of the Columbia yesterday,

below the cascades like millrace.
River traffic will therefore be stopped

til the river falls again. The boat could

If it were falling. +
The defect in the acoustics of the New
Vogt opera house is being remedied to-
day by putting up streamers throughout
the hall. The room is so large that
with nothing to break the echo, many
of the words spoken on the stage are
lost. The trouble will be remedied this
afternoon, so that every word will be
heard plainly.
The Mccoy case came up before Judge
Davis this morning. Testimony for the
prosecution was submitted, the defense
waving their right to produce testi-
mony. Court then adjourned until 4 p.
m. today, when arguments will be made
upon the testimony submitted. 1t is IN
all respects like that published by THE
CHRONICLE yesterday.
Mr.. j. M. Huntington was out at Ce-
lilo yesterday with Mr.. Peel, of the U.
S. engineer corps looking at the right of
way tor the portage road. They made
an approximate estimate of the damage
that would accrue to the various owners
of ground over which the road will pass
and find it will probably be small. No
part of it is valuable for agriculture, and
the only damage that will result will be
its deterioration for fishing rights. and
few cheap buildings that will have u
be removed.
Jerome Mcneil, aged 10, lost a hand
and narrowly escaped being killed by a
train at Mosier on Monday. He was
crossing the trestle bridge across Mosler
creek when train appeared around the
curve at the farther end of the bridge.
He started to run back and fell between
the ties. The train came on, the engine
and two cars passing over him before it
was stopped. He was then fished out
between two cars. The poor little fell
low was unconscious, and it was found
he had lost his left hand, which was cut
off at the wrist. and was also injured in
the back of his head. 4

"From Sire to Son. is one of those
hld-fashioned and powerful emotional
hramss, which have largely given place
lof late years to light comedy, spectacu-

throughout the long years he has been
before the public as actor and clay
wright, has never been influenced by
the allurements of these idealess if

pandered to the baser tastes of man
