The Clark Oil Co. S big strike in their
No. 7 Carroll, at Cairo, yesterday. is
every bit as good as was exclusively
reported in yesterdays State Journal
The we'll, after making big flow for
some time, after being shot, settled
down somewhat, but about nine o'clock
in the evening it took another squirt
and flowed 25 barrels or more an hour.
1t again settled down after this and
today is doing between Is and 20 bar
rels an hour. This is a remarkable
record for Salt sand we'll in the loca-
tion in which this one is drilled.
Oil men generally consider the new
strike very much of a freak, although
it may, even at that, produce a great
amount of oil. The company owning
the well have made location for their
No s, about 800 feet from the big
gusher.
Capt. ODE Clark. who is at the head OF
the Clark Oil Co., is receiving the con.
gratulations of his many friends, on
account of the strike which is especial
| ly beneficial to him if reports are true
The Clark Oil Co. is composed chiefly
of Marietta men, and their operations
at Cairo have not been as paying a.
they might have been.
When No. was started on the lease
it is said that Mr.. Clark's partners re.
fused to operate any longer on the
lease, but after some persuasion, he got
them to go in on the well. He was tC
have the first four months production
for drilling it, and after that the profits
were to be divided as they had been

Up WENT HIS HANDS
CHARLES LINDQUIST ELEVATES
THEM AT THE COMMAND OF
HIGHWAYMEN.
LOOKED INTO A REVOLVER
WHILE ONE OF THE MEN
SEARCHED HIM AND
TOOK $40.
sTICK-UP WAS ON RICE STREET.
A Michigan Man Who Doesn't Think
Much of Mayor DOran's New
Police Arrangements.
WAS ON RICE STREET.

Charles Lindquist of Norway, Mich,
who is visiting his brother-in -law, A
G. Anderson, the proprietor of a sa-
loon at $40 Rice street, was held up
by highwaymen shortly before Z o'clock
Monday evening and robbed of $40.
The thugs accosted LindIulst in an
alley back of Anderson's place, run
ming between Winnipeg and Manitoba
avenues, and took his money from
an inside pocket, at the point OF
revolver. After the robbery Lirdqust
chased the foOtpads through the alley,
but, emerging on Manitoba avenue,
could discover no trace Of them. He
says the hold-up artists wera negroes.
Lindquist came to st. Paul last Fri
day. He had 800 when he arrived,
and, in the Inequalities of his visit,
spent $50. Monday evening, when his
brother-in-law started UP stairs TO
supper and called TO T4indquist to join
him, the latter declined, saying he was
going out for a walk. MIdquist left
the saloon by a side door and stepped
into the alley. About fftv feet from
the sidewalk, he says, he was sudden
ly confronted by two negroes, one of
whom thrust an ugly looking revolver
in his face and ordered him 10 throw
up his hands. Lindquist says he was
badly frightened, and quickly COM
piled with the highwaymen's mandate
While the man with the pistol Kept
him covered, Lindquist says the negro
unbuttoned his vest and searched his
pockets. From the inside pocket Of
his coat, Lindquist says, the negro took
and old-fashioned wallet containing
$40, all of the money he had eft out
of the amount with which he had pro-
vided himself for his visit.
After securing the money, Ltrdquist
says, the highwaymen backed some dis
tance away from him, the man with
the revolver keeping it pointed at MS
head, when both suddenly wheeled
about and ran. Lindquist says he
chased the thieves, but lost track of
them at the further entrance to the
alley. He reported the robbery to the
police It was quite dark at the time
of the hold-Up, and Lindquist could
not give a detailed description of the
thugs, but declares positively that they
were both negroes and large men, one
of whom wore glasses. They attempt
ed no physical violence.

MORE THAN UNHAPPINESS
Required as Ground for Divorce
Says Judge Willis.

The efforts of Catherine Underhill
and Oscar Underhill to secure a divorce
from each other at the hands of the
district court, seem destined to fail.
Some months ago, Mr.. Underhill sought
to secure a decree but was unSuccess-
full, and yesterday Judge Willis denied
a similar application made by Mrs.
Underhill as well as a second appli-
cation on the part of her husband.
Mrs. Underhill, who is fifty-six years
of age, wanted a limited divorce from
Oscar, who is three years her senior,
on the ground of cruelty and neglect.
In his answer, Mr. Underhill asked for
divorce on general principles. After
the plaintiff had submitted her case,
Judge Willis dismissed it, the evidence
being insufficient to sustain the allega-
lions of the complaint. The defendant
then requested the court to adjourn
his case until afternoon that he might
secure the attendance of his witnesses.
In declining the request Judge Willis
said:
'aThe fact that parties are unhappy
in the married condition is no ground
for a divorce or for a separation, said
the Judge. He went on to say that
the parties in the case had evidently
lived unhappily and should now recall
the oath taken before God and ask
mutual forgiveness and proceed to live
forbearingly with each other. He COM
rnended to their attention and exam
ination a quiet and peaceful order of
living. as we'll calculated to smooth the
remainder of lifes pathway that re-
NAMED to them.

The scene in the parlOrs of the Day
ton Avenue Presbyterian church yes
terday afternoon was one to fill with
-t,1f,1t- not only tho Inuers of country
but the loyal citizens Of St. Paul, for
the assembly there gathered was one
of truly representative women. The oc-
casion of the gathering was the an
nual meeting of the St. Paul chapter,
. Daughters of the American ReVoiu-
, ton. Mrs. D. A. Monfort, the retiring
egent, called the meeting to order at
, 2:S0, and after the usual roll call the
members of the chapter and their
friends joined in singing America"
When the chaplain, Mrs. M. d. Ed
wards, had offered prayer, the minutes
of the last meeting were read by the
secretary, Mrs. George R. Metcalf, and
some miscellaneous business was trans
acted Then followed the literary and
musical feature of the programme. Mrs.
W. E. Howard, in a well-written paper,
discussed the siege of Yorktown, her
address being the last of a series given
on the Revolutionary battles. Miss
Face sang Columbia, the Gem of the
