OIL COMPANY's BRIEF.
Much Right as Gas Company TO
Common ReserYOfr


The Ohio Oil Company filed its brief in
the three cases pending in the Supreme
Court to restrain it from wasting natural
gas. In regard TO the penalty case brought
by the state on behalf of Madison county,
the brief maintains that the statute assess
ing the penalty is unconstitutional because
it denies to the owners of oil-bearing lands
the same rights accorded to owners Of gas
producing lands, and takes away property
rights without compensation. The brief
says that the wells of the company do not
produce gas in paying quantities, and that
the penalty can be no more assessed for
allowing this gas 10 escape than when it
escapes from pipes to be utilized for fuel.
1t says that the oil produced is of more
value than the gas, and terms the construc-
ton of the statute claimed by the state au-
thorities to be a disinheritance of the rights
of the company. The brief further says
that 1t Is no more unreasonable to allow
an oil company to exhaust the gas supply
than ii is TO permit a factory or gas com
pany to do so. Continuing, the brief says:
There is a great lake of atmosphere
above a mans land. which overhangs his
neighbours also. They each own 10 the sky

OBITUARY.
Lucinda Williams TuttIe.

"A natural, memorable, long foreshad-
owed event was her apparent pain
less passing from the present life,
which occurred In the stiffness OF the
midnight hour last Sunday morning,
June 5, 1898, at her rural home on
Thompson avenue, in the town of East
Haven. She fingered for many months
between life and death. AS frequently
the PROSTATE and aged vine retains its
verdure for a brief interval after its
fall, or as the flame flickers for time,
then follows the end and life's long
and faithful work is DONE and the rec
ord made complete.
Her genial and kindly disposition,
her quiet manner and solicitude for
those that We're near and dear to her,
and her love for the church, although
not able to attend sunday services for
years, was well known. Lucinda Will
liams cher maiden name) was a native
of Wallingford and at one time in the
early years of her life was a successful
teacher in the public schools. A half
century next previous to the present
time, she became the second wife and
then in less than two score years the
widow of the late Jesse Tuttle. Forty
seven years ago Mr.. futile sold his
productive farm and residence in Ham
den to the town authorities, and with
his family changed his home to East
Haven, and purchased the Lester
Smith property For many years he
was one of the war lens in the Episco-
pal church, and was always a proini-
rent citizen in East Haven.
Mrs. futile at the time of her death
had almost attained the advanced aged
of eighty-fiv years. Her step-sons
and stepdaughter are John and Charles
N. futile and Mrs. Lucy Monson. The
second named was accidentally killed
in Colorado, where he was engaged in
business. Dwight w. futile, her eldest
son, has been town representative a
number of times, and is now state
senator from the Seventh senatorial
district He is also senior warden and
treasurer of Christ's Episcopal church.
Grove J. Tuttle, her youngest son, has
represented his adopted town many
times in the general assembly, and is
now president of the East Haven board
of education. They are well known as
attorneys at law. The last name can
almost claim to be native of East
| Haven, for he was only a few weeks
old when his parents moved to this
| suburban town.
The funeral services will be con-
| Quoted by the Rev. Daniel J. Clark,
pastor of the historic stone church, at
the late residence Of the deceased on
