1t Promises to Become as Productive
Any I'm the Country.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PERU, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE greatest ex-
element i'm oil circles since the discovery
OF crude petroleum in this State is now
on at this place. Strangers are coming to
this city daily from the various oil fields of
Ohio, Pennsylvania New York, West Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and even from
Canadian fields. The Peru field bids fair
TO be as productive as the worlds famous
Sisterville pool of West Virginia, the Nc
Donald pool of Pennsylvania. and the ia
nous Wood county pool of Ohio Consider
able capital from this State from Chicago
and Cincinnati is being invested in oil de-
Veopments, while a great number from
ONO are here. Ohios famous operators are
SO enthusiastic over the new field that they
are putting in any amount of money The
field has not been given a thorough test as
yet as far as hunting for a second pay
streak in the Trenton formation. None of
the wells are down any great depth in that
formation. The general average depth of
the producing wells is from fifteen to thir-
~ rect in the sand, while there may be an
other and more prolific pay below. In the
OHIO field the second and third paw has
the sand, and there is no reason why the
same should not exist here. The next sixty
days will give a good idea of the extent OF
the field, and will show in which direction
II extends. The following wells have been
completed in the Peru fields:

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Oct 1.-THE cit
liens of this city are stirred to the fighting
point over the og-in-the-manger conduct
of the Panhandle Railway Company. For
the past two years the city has been in
litigation with the company over an effort
to extend Water street across the tracks.
The company fought the extension at every
turn and with a view of forever prevent
ing the city from opening the highway, the
company has put gang to work digging
trenches for foundation for a new sta
ton house to be erected directly across
Water street. The building of the depot
was kept a secret from the people, who are
now threading a boycott and injunction. At
a meeting of the City Council Friday night
1t was decided to engage two more attor-
neys to assist the city attorney in fighting
the case A special meeting of the Council
will be held Tuesday evening to further
consider the matter. There is a general up
rising against the railway company and
private citizens threaten to begin injunc-
ton proceedings if the city do not at once
secure temporary restraining order.

 ed States has there been manifested
 such deep intereat in tba ? sugar beet and
 sugar beet culture ss at present. The
 agricultural press from the British Pos
 sessions to the Gulf and from the At
 lantic to the Pacific bear evidence of
 the fact that the people throughout the
 United States are aroused in this mat ter and pfopose finding out whether it is possible for the United States to grow it's own sugarinstead of sending abroad each year the enormous sum ofone hun- dred millions of dollars for this com modity. The remarkable success at- tained at nearly. if not quite all, the factories in operation during the past year has stimulated this interest and now there is scarcely g locality in the United States which does not desire 8 sugar beet factory and is not taking steps to ascertain whether beets can not be grown of sufficient richness of sugar to warrant the establishing of a factory in that place In view of these facts this bulletin will undndoubtedly be welcomed by large part of the farm ing comunity ID many portions Of the Union. The bulletin IS an exhaustive one, going to some length into the his tory of the sugar beetindustry and giv- ing numerous statistics setting forth the advantages to a community of 8 sugar beet factory While destined primarily for regions in which the beet must be grown by means of irrigation 1t is not without interested to all locali. ties.

Death of "Old McGinty."

"Old McGinty," who has been fla miIlar figure or our streets for several years. and who was we'll Known in this and Navajo counties, dled very suddenly last Monday night. He was not the ID. dlvidual who explored the region To- cated at "the bottom of the sea-" but he was only an old brown horse. Of late years he has been the property of Captain Walter G. Scott, of this place. In his younger days, "McGInty" was & fine specimen of horse flesh, but for some time has done little except eat alfalfa and play with the children, hls particular business being to draw g cart driven by Miss Jessie Scott. He was enc of the most docile and saga cious of animals, and many stories are told of "McGinty's" horse sense. At one time Isaac Earth rode him home to Jaralosa. New Mexico. Keeping h1m over until the next day, about dark, a note was written and tied to the horses mane, and "Old Nc" was let out of the corral. He took the road for St. Johns and arrived some time during the early part of the following morning, greeting the early Jisers with neigh of recog- milton. The distance-forty miles-was travelled in ss short time as common with other animals while being urged with whip and spur. There are very many better horses in the world than he was, but it would be hard to con- ceive of an animal superior to "Old McGinty" in gentleness, intelligence and dociIity.
