DRILLING THlRTY-sIx WELLS.
Novel Warfare Between the standard and
Independent Producers.

Novel Warfare Between the standard and
independent Producers.
TOLEDO, o., June 26.-All oildom is
reused over a battle that is being
waged between the Standard Oil Com.
pany and the producing firm of Stitt,
Montgomery & Pool. The seat of war
is on a farm near Cognet, o., and is
over little plot of land which includes
only 40 acres. Ten years ago the
Standard Oil Company's producing de-
partment, known as the Ohio Oil Com
pony, secured a lease on the property.
The company also secured all the land
abutting on the piece, and proceeded to
make four locations on the place. The
wells were drilled diagonally on the lot
extending nearly across it, and from
the very first the wells were good pro-
ducers. Even today, 10 years after the
wells were drilled, they are produing
so barrels daily, which is almost phe-
nomenal.
Some time ago the terms of the lease
expired, and the Ohio Oil Company ap-
piled for new one. This was refused
by the owners. The owners were ap-
piled to by SGitt Montgomery e Pool,
and were given lease for less than the
Standard Company had offered. This
irritated the managers of the Ohio, and
they at once began IL locations three
on each side of the square, and as close
to the lines as possible. Stitt, Mont
gomery & Pool at once offset this by
making 12 locations, alternating with
the Standards, clear around the place,
This move is now being met by the
Standard, which has located l2 wells,
the last dozen beng directly opposite
those of their rivals. Within week
SO wells will be in full operation, and
that means an investment OF anywhere
from $40, 900 to $50, 900 according to the
value of the wells and the necessity of
putting pumping outfits in them. If
they are all dry it will still cost very
near the first named sum.

the armies Of the government at
any time between the firing upon

times when it is so dry in the

have to soak a hog all night be-
fore he will hold swill. There
are places where water is wet
only on one side and there is one
place where the owner of ferry
boat hauls water to keep his ferry
running, where one poor farmer
used to run the we'll through the

get water for cooking. Come to

THE Seguin Anchor says i:
THE custom of deputizing men
for the purpose of giving them
the privilege of carrying a
"gun" has long since become a
nuisance and is disgusting to the
law abiding people of Texas.
While it Is in many instances
very essential for an officer to
have a weapon of defense where
it is accessible, there are few oc-
casions in which he is called
upon to shoot, or to take the life
of his fellow man. The chief
duty of a peace officer is to en-
force the laws and not to break
them, and the officer who is
guilty of violating a law should
be held more strictly therefor
than the private citizen, as the
officer is acting under a sworn
obligation to see to the preven-
ton of violations of the law, and
he is also acting in that capacity
as agent of the private individual.
Many murders and homicides
accrue from the fact that people
are shielded in carrying pistols
by some little deputyship, and
those who have upon their hands
the responsibility Of official du-
ties should be cautious in the Sc
lection of their deputies"

THE GOLD CURE.

How Lucky Brenhamite Became Fabu-
lousy Rich in Single Day.
A strange hallucination, said
to have resulted from the excess
sive use of intoxicants, has taken
possession of Mr.. Ecke, formerly
smith at the, Schurenberg shops
on Sandy street. Ordinarily an
over indulgence in booze operates
in an opposite direction from that
in which Mr.. Ecke is affected.
Usually the confirmed drunkard
is habitually broke. The reverse
is the case with Mr.. Ecke. With
out the price of a drink in his
pockets he imagines that he is a
multi millionaire literally rolling
in riches. So extravagant are
the vagaries of his imagination
in this direction that the gold of
Golconda, the gems of Monte
Christie and the yellow output of
Klondike's frozen riches diwindle
into insignifcanee in comparison
With the fabulous wealth that he
controls. More remarkable than
the sudden acquisition of his
immense wealth is the rapidity Of
its growth.
Just after banking hours Tues
day morning he took the officers

BOYCOTTING.

Journal, at Fort Worth, is made
the object of a severe boycott by
the Fort Worth Stock Yards Cor
poration, simply because it dared
| to criticise its mode of doing
business. The Journal received
$3.50 per month from these
yards for advertising up to the
time these criticisms appeared in
its columns, when the boycott was
resorted to and the patronage
withdrawn. In reviewing the
matter the Journal says:
The management of the Fort
Worth Stock yards has all along
tried to deceive the stockmen of
Texas. 1t has claimed to have a
market here for large numbers of
cattle at st. Louis and Kansas
City prices, less the freight, when
the facts were, as the manage
ment well knew, that the demand
here was limited to few cars
each week and that there was no
demand whatever for anything
exceeding that amount. The
Journal knows of several in
stances where parties have been
induced to ship cattle to Fort
Worth on the guarantee of the
stock yards management that
prices, freights considered, would
be as good as could be obtained
in st. Louis or Kansas City, and
Notwithstanding this guarantee
the shippers in question were
absolutely unable to get an offer
for their cattle. In their efforts
to deceive the cattlemen and with |
the hope of making big show
the Fort Worth Stock Yard COM
pany have padded the published
receipts by adding thereto num-
erous large shipments of cattle
that were billed to and destined
for other markets or pastures in
the Indian Territory and simply
stopped to feed at the Fort Worth
Stock yards, and were never in
tended for or offered on this
market. One of the offenses of
5he Journal was that it tried to
each the stock yards manage
nant to tell the truth in this and ,
other matters affecting the inter-
ssts of the stockmen of Texas.
IF the management of the Fort
Worth Stock yards would con-
ent themselves with the business
hat properly Belongs to them, as
s done by the markets of the {
'ther leading cities of the state,
Ind in addition thereto would
quit trying to deceive and mis- I
cad the stockmen of Texas the
Journal would be only too glad to

list them in all that is legitimate s
Ind laudable in their undertake S

rary to the best interests of the S
Texas stockmen they have no l
