the Producing Wells.
During the next couple of days there
will be two very important wells due
in the northeast extension of the Elk
Fork pool, and their advent is being
watched for very anxiously by quiet a
number of the operators who have ter
ritory in that section The first we'll
due will probably be Treat & Craw-
ford's No. l in the Wetzel farm. This
well was expected in to-day, but it has
been delayed short time, and will
not get in before some time tomorrow
morning. The other well is that Of
Yoke and others on the Fluharty. This
well is just across the hill from the
Gorrell lease, and it looks very much
as though it ought to be good pro-
Queer. The Sun Oil Company's well
on the Ads farm should have been in
the sand yesterday, but UP to late
Shour to-day nothing had been heard
! from it. and it has in all probability
not yet been drilled in.
Nolan & Phillips are drilling at
about 4,500 feet at their NO. l on the
Bowser farm and should set the sand
the early part of the coming week.
Henry & MacDonald's No. 2 on the
Margaret A. Gorrell, which was cased
yesterday with the Ga, should get the
sand Friday night or Saturday morn
ing.
The Eastern Oil Company is still
fishing at their No. l on the Gorrell
lease.
Treat & Crawford are drilling at
ahnut 5O0 feet at their No. l On the
Fluharty farm.
The same company have located
their No. s on the William Farrell
farm and will commence building the
rig in a couple OF days.
They have the rig up for their No.
2 on the j. T. "A. Hawkins, and Will
commence spudding the first OF the
week.
- .Keeler, Kohl & Company have drill

about $50 feet at their No. 2 on the
Schmeltzenbach farm, and Will get the
sand the latter part of the week.

Parkersburg, w. Va, October 10
: The Brown & Logan we'll on the ONO
River right of way, at Boaz. was drill
ed one screw into the sand Tuesday
afternoon, when the hole filled to the
top with oil. The well was shut down
until this morning, when it was drilled
in, and is one Of the best producers
in that development. 1t is in the first
Co run at $50 feet.
The Barnsdall & Ranger well on the
head of Vienna Island, which was
drilled in on Sunday, is reported to be
a rs barrel producer. This we'll opens
I'D good territory on both sides Of the
river.
The well on the Thomas Logan farm
on the river bottom about three miles
above town, has been drilled to the
top of the sand, but will not be drilled
at present. The indications for
good producer are said to be very good.
This we'll has aroused considerable IN
terest, and various parties are after
leases in that vicinity.

KENYON IN PRECAR|OUS STATE
DOCTOR FOWLER DESPAIRED OF
HIS RECOVERY.
At 2 O'Clock This Morning, However,
His Condition Was Slightly I'm
proved-Still at Provo.

Sam ]. Kenyon, who took an over
dose of morphine accidentally at Provo
Friday, lies in very precarious condi-
ton in that city. With the exception
of a few minutes about 5 o'clock yes
terday morning, he was unconscious
and remained in that state all day
long. Early in the morning the Symp-
toms were such as TO give those about
his bedside hope, but these favorable
signs became less apparent during the
afternoon, until DR.. Fowler, who is at
tending him, gave it as his opinion that
it was impossible for him to survive.
At last evening he revived a tribe.
and Dr. Fowler stated that he was
more hopeful of his recovery than he
had been at any time during the after
noon
Among business circles the condition
of Mr. Kenyon was the topic of CONVEX
sation. and wishes for his speedy re-
coVery were heard on all Sides His
intimate friends kept in direct COM
munication with Provo, and every
change was known at once among his
large circle Of friends.
Mrs. Kenyon and her son Ralph are
at his bedside, and all that human skill
can do is being done in his behalf.
At 2 O'Clock this morning his cond1-
ton remained unchanged. He was
breathing regularly and resting easy.
The final outcome can hardly be fore
cast, but if anything, the outlook for
his recovery seems a little brighter.
The fact of Mr.. Ralph Kenyon be-
ing mistaken for Samuel j. Kenyon,
his father gave rise to the misstate-
ment appearing in The Herald of yes
terday that the sicl, man was out on
the streets of Provo on Friday night,
and apparently fully recovered from his
unfortunate accident

FRISCO MAIL STOLEN,
POUCH CUT OPEN AT MILFORD
AND CONTENTS ABSTRACTED.
Supposed to Contain Checks and
Other Valuables-Sack Carried Off
From the Depot Platform

A mystifying mail robbery is reported
from Milford. The value of the plum
der is not known, but since the stolen
pouch contained all the letter mail for
Frisco, the loss is believed to be quite
large in checks and money orders, on
which, however, payment can be
stopped. According to Semi-official re-
ports yesterday, some person or per-
sons yet unknown to the officers made
off in a mysterious manner with the
Frisco mail pouch early yesterday
morning, while the large number Of
mail sacks for southern Utah and Ne
vada were being thrown onto the depot
platform at Milford for the stages. 1t
is known, however, that the stolen
pouch was found later in the day near
the railway station, but the letters had
been distracted.
The postal authorities are reticent
about the robbery, but inasmuch as
Inspector Sutton has the case in hand
it is almost certain that the robbers
or robber will be captured before many
more hours elapSe.

: STREETS AND SIDEWALKS.
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS CON.
SIDERS MATTERS OF REPAIRS.
The Culmer Controversy Claims a
Share of Attention-New Bids For
Repairs Called For.

1t was expected that Bankers Knox
and Mccormick would enliven the pro-
ceedings of the board of public works
yesterday afternoon by appearing be-
fore it on behalf of the Culmer-Jen-
nings Paving company in the matter
of the latter'S repairs of the asphalt
pavement on Main and First and Sec
ond South streets, but they failed to
do so. -f-
Nevertheless, reference was made to
the controversy when Inspector CAa-
ney was given permission TO address
the board. Mr.. CLANCY drew attention
to the statement by Mr.. Culmer in Fri
days Tribune TO the effect that the in
spector had told the paving company S
secretary that he had never had any
experience in asphalt paving work. This
statement, Mr.. CLANCY said, was an
untruth, because he had never seen
nor talked to Mr.. Gunner. AS Inspec-
tor Chaneys disclaimer was entered on
the minutes, WaterworkS Superintend-
ent Caine remarked that If Mr.. Gunner
had been correctly quoted in the news
papers, his statement as to the inspec-
tor was evidently as truthful as that
attributed to him about the new board,
which. he charged, had antagonized
the paving company for five years past.
CONSIDERING BIDS FOR WORK.
Bids were opened for roughening
slippery sidewalks. for repairing side
walk and street pavements, not COW
cred by the Culmer-Jennings COM
pany's contract, and for constructing
return curbs and stone blocking lead
ing to private alleys. There was only
one bid for each class of work, and the
proposals were rejected, except for the
latter class. w. H. Clarks bid was in
the aggregate sum of 1898, and the con-
tract was awarded to him. Mr.. Clark
bid for roughening slippery walks was
at the rate of 51a cents per square yard.
1t was deemed excessive, as was, also.
William Holmes bid, the figures of
which were not all computed, for paw
ing repairs. New bids were ordered
solicited for these classes of work.
Relative to the Union Light & Power
company's petition for the privilege OF
taking up sections of the stone block
paving to enable the repair of leaky
gas mains, which petition was granted
by the city council, subject to the
boards action, the board directed that
it would be necessary to appoint an in
spector, at the company's expense, to
assure the proper replacement of the
pavement

THE RED CROSS SOCIETY
SOME OF THE GOOD WORKS 1T
HAS DONE.
Wounded and Sick Soldiers Return
ing Leaves Much Need For the
Society Yet.

The annual meeting for the election
of the various committees of the Red
Cross society of this city was called
for yesterday afternoon in the supreme
court room, city and county building
The constitution of the society re-
quires 20 members at regular meetings
to constitute a quorum, and as but II
attended yesterdays meeting, an ad-
journment was taken until Saturday
Oct %
The afternoon was spent discussing
the situation and the best means Of
providing the Utah volunteers with a
good old Thanksgiving dinner.
The ladies have under consideration
the sending of sufficient plum pudding,
fruit cake, jelly, preserves and other
relishes to amply provide every Utah
soldier now in the field with a regular
home dinner on our annual feast daY.
The corresponding secretary, Mrs.
John Q. Cannon, had prepared a report
of the work of the society from its or
ganization to date and was prepared
to submit the same had there been a
quorum present.
However, it was read, and the work
that the local organization has accom-
pliShed would surprise most people.
A report submitted by Mrs. Groo, of
which the following is a synopsis, will
serve to show the vast amount of work
accomplished by the society during the
war
WHAT 1T HAS DONE.
The Red Cross society, the report
says, began its work on the 31st day
Of May, and since that time it has furn-
ished the Utah soldiers with large
quantities of bandages and other neces-
saries of the battlefield, y including
sheets, pillow cases, towels, blankets,
shoes and so forth. Several families of
soldiers have been helped and many
sick have been, attended to and the
dead have been buried.
The society in Salt Lake served 5000
lunches to passing soldiers, not count
ing the dinner of welcome to the Tween
served the Utah volunteers.
In round numbers, 81, 101. A has been
raised, and of this amount all but
$3.50. Il has been disbursed.
The ladies are DESTROYS of keeping the
organization intact, but since the pro-
tocol was signed, they have been unable
to arouse the same interest as before,
and unless the members mutually aid
in the work the society will have to be
abandoned, as a few ladies cannot do
all the required labor.
The ending of active hostilitieS has
not lessened the need of the society,
they say, as now is the time when the
sick soldiers will begin to return, and
some means of taking care of them
should be provided.
The San Francisco society has erected
a home for convalescents, and all re-
turning sick soldiers are kept until
able to travel The Salt Lake society
donated $50 towards this charitable
work and other societies throughout
the country assisted.
Arrangements are in progress for the
entertainment of troop I of the rough
riders upon their return.

NO RED CROSS HOSPITALS.
Surgeon General Says They Are Not
Needed In Cuba.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 15.-Surgeon
General Sternberg has written a letter to
Mrs. Winthrop Cowdin in New York. re-
garding the establishment of Red Cross
hospitals in Cuba and Puerto Rico in
which he says:
Il do not think favorably of Che estab-
lishment of a hospital in Cuba or in Puer-
to Rico by the Red Cross society, for the
reason that the war is over and the gar
risOns which are to be stationed in these
islands will require a fully-ecuipped hos
pital. which it is the duty of the gov
ernment to provide. and which We intend
to provide.
Il appreciate very highly the valuable
assistance which has been rendered by
the Red Cross society, but / think it
would be demoralizing to our medical Off

should continue to depend upon the con-
tributionS and voluntary assistance of pa
triotic citizens for the care of our sick

NO ONE KNOWS.
The Future of the Short Line Is Yet
In Doubt.

A great deal has been said, and is
being said, concerning the future of
the Short Line, and the officers who
will manage it. 1t is predicted that
E. II. Hartman will be the president,
and his biography has been printed and
commented upon.
It is stated that there is just as good
reason for predicting the election of
any other man, more especially Wins
low S. Pierce, as there is Mr.. Harri-
man. AS indicated in The Herald, there
is a strong opinion prevalent to the
effect that Mr.. Bancroft may be made
president, occupying the same relative
position as Mr.. Burt, and that Mr.. Har-
riman may be chairman of the board.
No information of a definite charac-
ter can be obtained in this city, be-
cause every official here is in ignor-
ance of the real status of affairs. I'm
til the election is held no one is au
thorized to speak with any degree of
confidence

NOVEL DAMAGE SUIT.
Action Against Catholics For Excom-
municating Priest.

Action Against Catholics For Excom-
municating a Priest.
Chicago, Oct 15.-The second step in
the prosecution of one of the most
unique suits ever brought in an Ameri-
can court, the suit for $4,000 dam
ages against the officials of the Roman
Catholic church for publishing the ma
Jor rite of excommunication against a
former priest of their faith, Father An
thony Kozlowski, and of All Saints In
dependent Polish Catholic church, has
been taken in the circuit court, in the
flling OF the declaration containing the
itemized complaint of the independent
prelate. The document sets up in its
opening lines that the plaintiff of his
own -volition formally severed all con-
nectiOn with the Roman Catholic
church on May Z, 1897 at which time
the Independent Parish of All Saints
was organized The specific charge
against the archbishop and Cardinal
Ledoehowslc, who are made defendants
in the action, is that, knowing their
power to influence the people over
whom they had ecclesiastical jurisdic-
ton, with intent to injure the plaintiff,
they caused a letter to be read in all
the pulpits of the diocese. forbidding all
true members of the Roman Catholic
church from association in the slightest
degree with the plaintiff, under pain of
being themselves placed under the ban
of the church.
Father Kozlowski asserts that
through this letter. which was read as
directed on July g. 1897, he has. been
put to great Inconvenience and has suf-
fered financial loss through the lessen
ing of his receipts in parish collections
and has been prevented from making
advantageous commercial transactions
through the distrust engendered by the
publication of the letter.
In addition to his financial losses, the
htigant priest declares that he has sus-
tanned great injuries in the dam
age to his reputation through the ac-
ton of the cardinal and the arch
bishop
