Upton, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE oil fever has
struck this city and to-day there is consid-
cradle excitement. This morning several
experienced prospectors arrived and began
taking leases and promised. to drill a half
dozen wells as soon as leases on $500 acres
were secured. Ten years ago while explor-
ing the district north of the city for gas,
oil was found in considerable quantity and
there was some excitement at the time, but
owing TO it yet being an UNEMPLOYED field
no further effort made. Professor
Gorby visited the wells ten years ago and
he expressed an opinion that oil existed and
could be developed if properly explored.

Judge Hart Will Decide the Appeal
in Brown VS.. Ward,

The case of S. Brown against H. NJ.
Ward, an appeal case from the JUS
tees court, was heard by Judge Hart
yesterday. 1t was a suit for labor and
material furnished defendant by the
plaintiff 1t was decided in the JUS
tees Court in favor of plaintiff, and
defendant appealed, mainly on points
OF law. The contention of appellant
was that the action was brought by
Brown Bros, Franklin Brown having
withdrawn from the firm, and Simeon
Brown only having remained, and no
certificate to that effect having been
filed. 1t was further contended that,
while the original complaint was filed
in the name of Brown Bros, the amend
ed complaint made Simeon Brown the
plaintiff. 1t was also argued that a
fatal defect is that the name of the
plaintiffs attorney does not appear on
the summons.
C. H. Dunn, Browns attorney, said
that the plaintiff at that time had no
attorney, and therefore his name could
not appear on the summons. The OBJ
jections made by appellant. he said,
were purely technical There had never
been any substitution of plaintiff, he
said, S. Brown doing business as Brown
Bros, being plaintiff in both papers,
and it had never been necessary, when
one of the brothers drew out of the
firm, to publish the certificate.
The attorneys for appellant moved
for a nonsuit, and the court took the
matter under advisement.

She always paid her own fare. Men
came there to eat tamales, but she did
not know that they came to see Amy.
Cippa made proposition to Amy, to
which she at first demurred, but they
afterwards went into the bedroom and
shut the door. She at other times went
in with young men, and on one occasion
showed witness half a dollar that she
received Witness told her to do as she
pleased, as she had no influence over
her. Amy had been at the tamale store at
Fifteenth and 1 streets where witness
was afterward, and met a man there.
| Witness spoke of going to Seattle and
( told Amy that if she was old enough she
would like to have her go with her.
| They did not talk of going there for i'm
moral purposes.
The court gave witness a severe scor-
ing for her conduct in encouraging the
girl in her practices and not reporting
her conduct TO her mother.
Witness said she did not report to
Amv's mother. as she thought it was
none of her business and she did not
wish to get Amy and herself into trou-
bic. Mrs. Anderson threatened to have
witness arrested, but she told her she
had not encouraged the girl. She had
never made dates with any one for the
girl.
Mr.. Anderson said the testimony of
/ the woman had developed a state of
facts that might necessitate the sub
penang of certain witnesses, and he
thought they should be summoned. 1t
had developed a sad state of affairs.
The court said that there was no
question that it was a terrible state of
affairs. There was no doubt in his
mind that the woman had told things
that are true, and that he felt that she
knew a great deal that she did not tell.
It was evident Amy's mother was good
woman and had done all she could to
save the girl but could not control her,
and he felt that she should be placed IN
scme institution that would restrain her
and reform her. Her mother was not
able. having to earn her own living, to
exercise the proper care and oversight
over her. If she was sent to the Reform
School her mother will some day feel
that it was the most charitable and best
thing that could be done with her
Mr.. Anderson asked the court not to
make an order Immediately, but to see
if some other home could not be found
for her.
District Attorney Ryan said she had
been sent away twice by her mother but
came back There was no question OF
the bad influence the woman had eX-
erted over her.
The court took the matter under ad-
ViSement
After court adjourned, acting on the
testimony of Mrs. Wambold, warrants
were issued for the arrest of Cippa, Fred
Stevens and Ed. Steadman, the three
she had mentiond as sustaining i'm
Droper relations with Amy. The two
former, who were in attendance as wit
