the county held to-day John Terman, Of
Whiteland, was elected county superinten-

Cullough, Republicans, were present ready
for an election. The Democratic trustees,
unreliable Republican trustee, Carvin, OF
Blue River township, who was the cause
of the defeat in June appeared IN court
by their attorneys to show why an election
should not be held. The Republicans did
not therefore have a quorum. Mr.. Hardin
was sent for and about noon arrived and
announced that he would join in an election.
Mr.. Terman, the Republican caucus nom
inee was then selected. He at once filed
his bond and demanded the office OF Mr..
Hendricks The latter did not state what
his course would be, but 1t is presumed the
matter will be carried into the courts. The
Republicans are jubilant over the outcome.
There is a bitter feeling toward Trustee
CarVin.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Feb. 15.-The oil
field southwest of this city is being steadily
developed. Another big producer was drilled
In on the Sylvester Swift farm yesterday
that from all indications may eclipse all
others in this field. The we'll is owned by
the Hartford Oil Company, and at a depth
OF no feet in the sand showed a strong
pressure of gas and a large flow of OIL A
peculiar feature of this new territory is
that all the wells have a strong pressure OF
gas as we'll as a good flow of OIL For the
nrst time in this part of the field a second
stratum of gas-producing sand was encoun-
tered. OIL men say that it is impossible to
protect the gas in the second stratum, and
there is no way to avoid it, as the oil-pro-
duclng sand lies between the two gas strata
THIS will tend to further complicate mat
ters between the gas and oil interests. r.

Cudahy Pipeline Company was here yes
