OIL NOTES.
THE OIL MARKET.

1here was great deal OF excite
ment in the city this morning and
last evening over a report that
Boyer & company's we'll on the
Fluharty lease in the northeast exl
tension Of the Elk Fork field which
was drilled in few days ago and
reported big gasser, had drilled
itself deeper into the Big Injun
sand and that it was flowing at the
rate OF twenty barrels an hour.
Various reports about the we'll were
received in the city during the eve
ping and up to nine o'clock this
morning and all of them were to the
effect that the we'll was a good one
A telephone message from the
field about 10 o'clock this morning
was to the effect that the report of
the well having drilled itself in,
and that it was doing 20 barrels an
hour, was a hoax. The message,
which came from a reliable gentle
man in the field, was to the effect
that the well was still gassing and
spraying little oil and salt water
but that it was not making over
half barrel day.
How the report that the we'll was
flowing a large amount of oil
started it is impossible to say. Last
evening Mr.. Boyer, one of the own
ers of the we'll is said 70 have re-
ceived the message from the front
and as he left for that place this
morning he could not be seen in
regard to the matter.
Nolan & Phillips we'll on the
Bowser farm, about half mile
ahead of developments in that Sec
ton is due in the sand today and
will probably be drilled in late this
afternoon or this evening. This is
an important we'll and if it comes
in good will open up lot of new
stuff.
The South Penn and the Henry
Oil companies, which are fighting
lines IN the northeast extension Of
the Elk Fork field are pushing the
wells they are drilling as rapidly as
possible and two or three of them
should be in the sand the coming
week.
J. T. Jones & Co. have drilled in
their No. on the Shook farm in
the Buffalo creek territory, in the
vicinity of the Marshall we'll,
through the sand and will have
dry hole. No. on the Marshall
farm is drilling at about 500 feet
and the zig has been completed for
No. 3, which will be started in a
few days.
The Fisher Oil company's No. 2
on the Marble farm in the Jackson
Ridge development has been COM
pleted and will be good for fifteen
to twenty barrels aday.
The Jackson Ridge development
is still attracting great deal,of at
tention since Barnsdal's we'll on
the Covert was drilled in and all
those who can get hold of leases are
doing so.

About $50 or 300 men, disguised as white
caps, visited the house of Susie Colston,
near Smithtield, Wetzel County, w. Va.
and dragged the inmates, six womcn and
three men, out of bed intheirnight clothes.
No time was given thcm'to get their cloth

then blown to pieces with three sticks of
dynamite. The inmates were taken down
Morgan's run and tarrcd and feathered
and then taken to the S.iuman House and
all locked in a room together till daylight.
No apparent effort was made to discover
who did the act, and the popular senti-

during the voyage, and the sick grew
worse instead of better us the ship APP
