Sold to n Clothing and Shoe Dealer at
BeIIaire, Recovered by the Police.
James Mehen, the Ohio River
railroad detective, was at Bellaire
yesterday on business appertaining
to the robbery committed at the
Ohio River station at Proctor, about
six weeks ago. While there the
detective had turned over to him
two pairs of ladies shoes and pair
of mems shoes by Marshal Johnson
of that city. Marshal Johnston
having been informed that the sto-
len shoes had been sold at shop at
Bellaire, found the articles after
searching about for awhile, at
J. L. Mendelson's secondhand
clothing and shoe store No.
No. 1922 Union street, and com:
municated with Detective Mehen,
who secured the articles yesterday.
Mr.. Mehdelson, the proprietor of
the Bellaire establishment, stated
that he purchased the three pairs
of shoes from two boys three weeks
ago last Friday, paying them the
price asked, which was fifty cents a
pair. The shoes, Mr.. Mendelson
said, might have been sold at re-
tail for dollar a pair. Each boy
carried large basket full of shoes
and told him they were running a
country store, and finding that the
demand for this kind of goods was
very poor in their locality, that they
had decided to go about peddling
them, with the intention OF selling
them out cheap. They offered him
the entire lot at reduced prices, but
Mr.. Mendelson had peed but for
three pairs.

STRUCK A SHALLOW STREAK.
Cairo Parties Get into Pay Sand at 252
...-.--.. ...s Feet. ........ .

Col. ]. E. Hines and Glen Greer
have made a little dip into oil terri
tory that is not only surprising the
natives, but is working the oil field
talent up to a great state of frenzy.
Seventeen miles down the river
from Cairo, just over the edge OF
Writ county, they recently leased
over 500 acres Of promising land.
They began to drill Immediately
and when at the remarkable depth
of two hundred and fifty feet they
struck oil in paying quantities.
Their first we'll is small one
making FIVE barrels per day; No. 2
is making IS. No. is nearly
down and all indications will be
better than the first ones.
1t is something unusual to find a
pay streak in this part of the coun-
try at so shallow a depth and this
strike together with the advancing
price of oil has created a furore in
the neighborhood. : Pennsboro

THIS CITY Is 4 WONDER
Says Supreme Chancellor Thom-
as D. Sample.
HE WAS WELL PLEASED
With His Reception in the
Greatest Town on Earth.

Supreme Chancellor Commander
Thomas D. Sample, of the Knights
of Pythias, from Allegheny, Pa.
who was in the city Yesterday Wis
iting the grand lodge of that order,
which was in SESSION here, in speak
ing to reporter last evening, stat
ed that be was surprised at the size
of Sistersville and the sort of town
it was. Mr.. Sample is an old news
paper man, and he readily saw the
many advantages Sistersville has,
her excellent improvements, etc.
Your town is a wonder" he
said. II have been in nearly all
the oil country towns in the Upper
country, and there are none OF
them, or rather none of them at the
time speak of, when they were
young, that could touch Sisters
Vile. They were all boom towns.
as is usually the case, and the board
shanties were the principal build
ings. This is one very noticeable
thing about Sistersville. All the
residences and business houses
seem to be good, substantial struct-
ures, and they make fine appear
ance. If
Another thing must speak of
and that is the excellent streets OF
the city. I have been in a great
many cities and towns all over the
United States and l have failed to
see one that has as many or as well
paved streets. Even Our city of
Allegheny can not touch Sisters
vile on this point. 1t is better
paved and the streets are kept in
better condition than any OF the
larger cities L can think of.
Your water works are wonder
for such a town and surpass any
thing of the kind l have ever seen
in my travels while the city build
ing is credit to your city and
would be to one Of FIVE or six times
the size of Sistersville.
II have heard and read a great
deal about Sistersville and had an
idea 1 was coming into wild and
woody town. Of course this was
based upon the reports I have seen
in some of the outside papers. /
can truthfully say that I was very
agreeably disappointed when / got
off the train at the station yesterday
to see that my ideas of what the
town would be was mistaken one.
l am glad of it. 1t would have
been impossible for any town to
have given me better reception
than Sistersville and the Knights
of Pythias have. The treatment
accorded me would have been all
that could have been asked for
king or some powerful and famous
monarch"
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Sample
met with the Grand Lodge ofithe
Knights of Pythias in the auditor
ium of the High school and he adj
dressed that body TOR short time.
He conplimented them on the.
good work that has been done in
West Virginia during the past year
and stated that West ,Virginiapwas
one of the few states that had made
an increase in membership in the
order during the past year when
times have been so bad. a" re
This was Mr.. Samples first trip
to West Virginia and he was sur
prised at the way he was received
and said he did not think it was
possible for there to be more hospit-
able class of people in the world

world over on account OF their con-

The merry line fight between the
South Penn and the Henry Oil
companies out in the northeast ex-
tension of the Elk Fork field Is
still going on and there is no tell
ing when it will cease. Both OF the
companies seem to be determined
that they will not be the first to cry
quits" and are going ahead with
the work which they have started.
The wells which have been started
out putting the foot on the ground.
are all going along all right and
there will be an interesting time
there when the time for them to
come in arrives. Each Of the COM
panies have about halfa dozen rigs
up or wells started and If 1t be-
cones necessary they will start that
many more providing, of course,
there is room enough for them.
The wells as they are at present are
so close TO the lire and to each
other that it is almost possible to
step from one rig to another with
The Bruner & Co. we'll on the
Mercer farm, mention of which was
made yesterday, has been drilled
deeper in the sand, and it is now
believed that it will be good for
about 40 to so barrels day. When
yesterdays report was written, the
well had been drilled into the top
of the sand, had gotten nice show
of oil and some gas, and it was not
known what it would make. It will
be fairly good well, and 9th
ers will be drilled on the same lease
at once.
Gafaey & Coo well on the
Lowry farm is very dry hole, as
was stated yesteday. It has been
drilled through the Keener sand
into the Big Injun, and there was
no oil found. 1t IS now about TWEEN
ty-fye feet deep in the Big 1njun
sand, and has filled up several hun
dred feet with salt water.
The South Penn Oil company is
fishing at their No. 6 on the Gun
ningham farm. This is one ofthe
wells along the line between the
Gorrell OF the Henry Oil Co. and
the South Penn en- the Cunningham
lease.
The Eastern Oil company has a
fishing job at their No. 10 on the
Gorreli lease and it will be some
days before the lost tools will be
recovered. They are pretty badly
stuck.
Treat & Crawford are drilling at
about 1890 feet at their No. I on
the Wetzel farm and should be due
in the sand the latter part of this or
the first Of next week. "
There is quite little work being
done out in the vicinity of the Jug
near Centrevile at the present time
there being three or four wells un-
der way. The Hickman Oil COM
pany's No. ; on the Hickman lease
which was drilled in a shot time
ago has the rods i'll and has been
put to pumping. 1t will be good
for about I25 barrels day.
Shay & McMullen have made the
Location and are building the rig for
their No. I on The Brown lease
The rig will be completed this week
and drilling should be commenced
the early part of next week.
The Victor Oil company's we'll
on the Smith farm. which has been
reported heretofore, is getting along
nicely and should be in in short
time.
The South Penn Oil company is
doing some work in this section,
but list could not be gotten for
today's paper. They have one we'll
