THE FLArIES EXTINGUISHED.
The Fire at the BusIey Well Put
Out Tuesday Afternoon.

The Fire at the BusIey Well Put
Out Tuesday Afternoon.
Fred Horton did it with his little
scheme which he has held all along.
Without any fuss, he studied the leak
until he arrived at conclusion as to
the best method to be followed and
the happy results amply justify his
theory.
AS stated in a recent issue, the top
of the tubing in the we'll is Il shaped
piece of pipe. One opening in the
T was stopped with plug and pipe
inserted in the other and the shut-off
opened allowing the gas to blow off at
the end of the pipe. This relieved the
pressure on the tubing and the jet of
flame shooting from the gate was
practically under control, leaving the
gas coming from the casing only to be
commended with. A ditch was then
dug down beside the casing and a pipe
inserted, thus drawing off the gas
from the casing. The flames at the
top of the casing were then whipped
out and the top stopped up and after
some little further trouble, the fire at
the top of the tubing was also extin-
guished.
1t is very fortunate outcome of
problem that threatened to become
quite serious. Mr.. BusIey and his
neigh bors have the pipes laid to their
houses and hope to be using gas in the
near future. The only repairs re-
quired at the well is new packing
around the gate and that can be
easily attended to.
