IN THE OIL FIELDS.

Guffy & Co. S No. on the Pitts farm
was drilled in this morning and bids
fair to be the best well that has been
drilled in the Indian Creek district for
number of days. When the bit first
touched the upper edge of the Big In.
jun sand the we'll commenced to flow,
and increasing its production as it was
drilled deeper and at a little more than
two feet in the formation it was esti.
mated to be making between 30 and 4C
barrels an hour. 1t is the general sup
position that this we'll will do consid-
cradle better when it has been drilled
deeper into the sand. The we'll is To-

Found His Wife.

Wednesday evening, says the Beverly
Dispatch, Josephus Edwards, an en-
ragged and mistreated husband, OF
Ellensborough, w. Va, came up to this
place on the steamer Sonoma in quest
of his wife, who about the 21st of jan
nary grew weary of her better-half and
forsook her marriage couch for what
seemed to her more congenial life.
Mr.. Edwards did not search in vain for
his fickle wife, for she was located at
the home of Mr.. Ed. Stoller, who lives
a few miles back of Waterford. Mar
shall Beebe went out Thursday and
brought the wayward wife and w. F.
Taylor to this place. They were ar
raigned before, Mayor Miller. The
woman plead not guilty to the charge
of adultery, and Taylor not guilty to
the charge of unlawful cohabitation
and fornication. The complaints charg
ed defendants with above offences
since March 2Sth. They were bound
over to court and will be taken to Ma
ietta by Marshal Beebe.

Hatchet and Pipe.

An interesting relic was found few
days ago near Limestone Hill, five or
six miles below town, by a young man
named John Clark. 1t is an iron toma-
hawk and is perfectly preserved even
the handle being comparatively sound.
Young Clark was plowing in rocky
piece of ground, when the plow-share
threw large fiat stone to one side dis
closing the tomahawk lying among a
pile of small stones. The stone which
covered the implements had several
transverse lines cut upon the top of it
evidently intended to mark the spot
The handle of the weapon is of hickory
and about 1s inches long, hole ex-
tends through the entire length of ii
and connects it with pipe bowl on the
tomahawk. The tomahawk has prob.
ably been lying concealed for century
or more. 1t was kept almost absolute
ly dry for there is little rust upon i,
and its handle is but little decayed.
1t was brought to town by its fnde,
last Saturday and was purched for five
dollars by W. T. Parker, who presented
it to Prof. Stahl for his collection. The
Professor prizes it very highly as one
so perfectly preserved as is this one il
very rare.-Sentinel ~

New OIL Field.

CHILLIcoTHE, O., April 9.-Ex-Gov
James E. Campbell, Hon. William Nc
haffey, of Lima, and others, have form
eda syndicate to bore for oil in the
new Salt Creek oil field, about eight
miles southeast of the town of Adelphi,
in the northeast corner of Ross County.
They have secured options on several
thousand acres of land, and Mr.. Camp
bell visited the scene on Thursday and
Wednesday of this week.
The new field extends along the Salt
Creek Valley, and options on all the
land around the present field are being
taken. The Logan National Gas Com
pany has options on three thousand
acres, and the Macarthur Oil Company
has options on four thousand acres.
The latter company drilled we'll that
was shot a day or two ago, after it
struck the Berea grit, $40 feet down.
1t flows about ten barrels of heavy lu-
bricating oil per day. Another we'll
for thelower oil strata will be sunk at
once.
The new field is being visited by oil
men from all over the State, and the
excitement is growing every day. Ex-
perts are confident that paying flows of
oil can be struck by going down little
oyer two thousand feet, into the oil
bearing sandstone.

O. s. Gilchrist viii Contest the Election
OF l. III. Delong.
At the municipal election at Macks-
burg last Monday l. II. Delong was a
candidate for Mayor on the Republican
ticket and o. S. Gilchrist on an in de-
pendent ticket At the head of the
Republican ticket was the usual device
and circle and at the head of the
independent ticket a circle without
any device. Three persons voted the
Independent ticket straight by making
an X in the circle. The judges threw
these votes out on the assumption that
m X must be made before the name of
every candidate voted for. The throw
ing out of these three ballots elected
Delong by majority of one.
Secretary of State Taylor says they
should not have been thrown out,
which would mean that Gilchrist is
elected by majority of two. Mr.. Gil
christ was in the city Friday, engaged
an attorney and will make contest

IN THE NICK OF TIME,
shantyboat People Rescued BY Roweil
as Their Home Sank

Shantyboat People Rescued By Rowell
as Their Home Sank.
1t is with much pleasure that we are
able to state that the shantyboat ac-
cident at the head of the island Thurs
day afternoon was devoid of fatality,
though the occupants of the boat had
a narrow squeak for their lives. In all
other details the story as printed in
the Leader was correct. Upon the in
formation received, which came from
many different sources, all without
connection, the only assumption in any
degree reasonable was that all were
drowned. That they were not is due
entirely to the quick, clear-headed and
courageous action of Mr.. Rowell and a
young man who were on the island.
When pilot Rowland, of the Venus,
called to them, as stated in our pre-
vious account, they ran across the is
land to the West Virginia side in time
to see the boat go over the dam.
Jumping into skiff they rowed out
below and reached the occupants of
the boat just in the nick Of time. The
bottem and side of the floating dwell
ing had been stoye in and as it careen-
ed the people clung to the roof, being
rescued before their little home sank.
The Ohio River train was passing at
the time and all that those aboard saw
of the occurrence was the boat going
oyer the dam, careening to one side
and starting to sink. The skiff of
Rowell was not noticed in the moment
of excitement.
The owner of the boat was Ed Lewis,
of Pittsburg, and beside himself on the
craft were his wife and daughter.
After being rescued they were taken
to the home of Frank Byers, where
they were taken care Of Mrs. Lewis
is in serious condition as a result of
the nervous shock.

THE MEANING of 1T.

The Minneapolis Journal finds the
significance of the republican conven-
ton held in Butte, last Monday. in the
fact that a resolution to walk out was
promptly voted down. THAT is suffi-
cient notice." says the Journal, that
the Montana republicans are not going
to take themselves out of the party,
abandon protection and other great is
sues, merely because they may be in
the minority on this money question"
At the last general election held in
Montana, the republican party got more
than sixty per cent. of its total vote in
these six counties-Silver Bow, Deer
Lodge. Lewis and Clarke. Missoula,
jefferson, Madison. Let any man who
is acquainted with these counties figure
why they ought never ITO stand out
merely on the money question" when
the great doctrine of protection is at
stake Consider how much more pro-
lection means to these six counties. for
instance, than restored silver coinage
does! The mere suggestion puts the
Minneapolis Journals remark to ridi-
Guile.
THE influence of the Montana con-
vention," adds the Journal. will be felt
in the other western states" We are
afraid that Vt will be; we begin to sus-
pect that the Idaho republicans are
preparing ITO denounce Dubois and
vote Instructions for Mckinley. Sena-
tor Squire said last week, in Washing
ton, that he could not predict just
what would happen in the state of
Washington.
The Puget Sound senator knows now
what his republican constituents are
for. Ringing cheers marked the pro-
! ceedings in the Everett convention.
yesterday, when the gold standard was
mentioned; silver received virtually no
attention. The delegates went wild
over the mention of goldbug's name

Mckinley. Montana's contingent at St
Louis will be lonesome little COM
pany. not big enough to walk out alone
