came from an old natural gas well that had
been abandoned eight years ago as ex-
nausted. The well was drilled ten years
ago, and was in its time one of the best
opened in the Indiana gas field. When it
failed to yield it was capped and put on the
list OF has beens. To-day to the surprise of
everybody, the old we'll burst it's iron bands
and belched forth in it's old-time manner,
with a pressure equal to that of ten years
ago, when it was first opened. Superintend-
ent Lindley, of the Kokomo Gas Company
with force of men subdued the runaway
we'll. The revived well registers a pressure
of 212 pounds Other wells in this vicinity
are showing evidences of revIving, though
none have exhibited the vigor of the Nor
