Parkersburg. w. Va, August "
A ten-acre tract Of land owned by
Mrs. w. S. Mann. southeast Of the big
strike of the Chicago Oil Company, in
the Henderson, field. was leased yes
terday by J. w. Johnson, for a bonus
of $500 and $50 a month rental.
A new oil company composed largely
of Parkersbprg people, was organized
here. The company has been incor-
porated under the name Of the New
Dominion Oil Company" with a cap
ital stock of $4,000 The officers elect
ed are: J. D. Morgan, of Wetzel coun-
ty. president; Harry Afford, vice pres
ident: T. ]. Barrett, secretary and
counsel; C. w. Fuller, treasurer and
general manager.
The company has between n,2CO and
1900 acres of land under lease about
four miles east of this city in the vicin-
ity of Stewards Station.
A well will be put down at once on
the Mary Mcpherson farm. Several
others on Dye Run and Mil Run will
be drilled within the next few months.
1t is the intention of the company to
thoroughly test this part Of the county.
There is every prospect of nice
legal squabble over the Barrett farm
in the Henderson, field. Matters were
brought to a head yesterday ~ Barns
Aale's location Of two new wells on
his ffteen-acre slice Of the Barrett farm
and suit will be begun. Barnsdale
holds the property under n fifteen
year lease. Of which thirteen and hals
have expired This leaves eighteen
months in which, ordinarily, he could
develop the property or use it as he
please, but the farm was sold at pub
lie sale some time ago, the new owners
claiming that their purchase annuls
all previous leases, liens contracts,
etc. Barnsdale, as a matter Of course,
wants to get all out of the territory
that he can, and unless interfered with
he will put down as many wells, and
get as much oil as possible out OF the
property before any proceedings can
be begun against him.

ANOTHER LocKJAw CASE

Danbury, Aug. 1.-The third case of lockjaw in the past few weeks has de- veloped in this city, the patient being Julius Newfleld, the twelve-year-ol son of MT, and Mrs. Adolph Newfeld of S1 Osborne street,
 About four weeks ago Julius acciden- tally shot himself in the hand with a blank cartridge, A physician dressed the wound, but inflammation set in and the injury kept growing worse.
 Yesterday he was compelled to go to bed, and his jaws seemed pralyzed. He grew rapidly worse, and a physician was called.
 An examination developed the fact that the lad was stricken with lockjaw Every effort was made to relieve his suffering, and the attempts were in a measure successful as the jaws have relaxed somewhat and the patient en- joyed good nights rest, sleeping until quite late this morning. The attend ing physicians hope to bring the pa. tient out of 1t and have taken the case in it's early stages.
 When the injury first occurred the lad was badly frightened, fearing that he might be the victim of lockjaw. and it has weighed heavily upon his mind ever since.
