SERIOUS CUTTING ARRAY.
One Of The MexiCans Is Likely to
Die

Last afternoon about four o'clock three
Mexican boys who were over in the
foot hills north of the Southern Pacific
track between town and the smelter
became involved in q quarrel. 1t seems
that the three boys from the Mexican
settlement on the road to the smelter
went over in the hills to enjoy quiet
game of monte for the few claquers
which each had earned. They were. Ra-
mon Carrouchi, Jose Carrasco, and q
third boy whose name is not known ex-
actly as two or three names are given.
After having played while q dis
pute arose over the turn of a card and
from the tale told by the wounded boy,
Ramon CarrOuchi, who is about Is
years old, the two.other boys drew their
knives and proceeded to stab him. He
defended himself as we'll IS he could,
but not having anything to ward of
the knives he was very severely cut in
four places: three times on the left
shoulder and arm and one deep cut in
the right side between the 10th and
18th ribs. This is the cut which it is
thought will result fatally as it is very
very deep and about two inches in
length. That there was internal
bleeding was shown by the hemorrhag-
es which he had.
AS soon as the boy was cut some OF
the smaller boys heard him calling
and went to his assistance. Some
came to the house and wagon was
sent for him and brought him home.
By the time he arrived at the little
Mexican hut, DIR. Harle had arrived
and examined the boy, after which he
administered an opiate so as to make q
full examination. DR.. Gallagher was
also called and it was decided to send
the wounded fellow to the hospital,
there to perform an operation on him
and maybe save his life. But the
parents of the boy wouldn't hear of it.
So the wounds were dressed and this
morning while he has fever and his
pulse is quick, still he is resting as
easy as could be expected.
A reporter went out to see him and
found him lying on pallet on the
floor of the hut. The boy said it hurt
him to talk and the older said all they
knew was that as soon as the other
two had cut him they had set out for
the other side of the river, and that
Officer George Herold was after them
Policeman Herold told the reporter
that he had not yet caught the two
but hoped to do so today. He denies
that either of them is over the river.
He went there last night and not hear
ing anything of them he came back to
this side and went to the place of the
fight and followed up the trail of the
two. 1t went over toward the noun
tains and finally it was lost as it was
TOO dark to follow it further
Officer Herold found the bloody
knife which inflicted the wound in the
right side. 1t is large pocket knife
with the blade shaped like that of q
dirk.
All the police, both on this and the
other side. are on the watch for the two
boys, and it is thought that by tonight
will have them in custody.

Many were the toasts drunk, and

permanently organizing a club, having
a club dinner every other Saturday
night.

REDHoT, A TYPICAL OIL TOWN, IN 1870.
by the crude spring pole method. The
spring pole consisted of green sapling
about 40 feet in length and 10 inches in
diameter, with the butt end made fast in
the ground or attached TO an upright.
A second post 10 or 10 feet from the
end acted as fulcrum while the pole
passed over the we'll about 10 feet above
It, The boring tools were fastened to
this pole, and two men, throwing their
weight on the springy end Of the pole,
furnished the power.
1t was not until June, 1861, that the
first flowing oil we'll was struck. This
marked new era in oil development,
for it was the first well drilled to the
third sand the objective point sought
ever after and found only at depth of
several hundred or a thousand feet.
Then followed those days of feverish
excitement when mighty "gushers"
were struck, and the oil came with a
rush up from the subterranean caverns
where it had been imprisoned for ages.
Then came the days of the sleuthlike
oil scout and of the reckless shooter"
who handled nitroglycerin cans as if
they had been full Of paint and who
was often scattered over the landscape,
shattered beyond repair, as result Of
his recklessness. Then came the rush
Of fortune hunting thousands into the
oil regions. Cities sprang up in the for
est wilderness, and civilization in all
its cruder aspects came and camped at
the foot of the spirelike oil derricks.
But these are stories which have been
told many times, with greater or less re-
gard for truth, until we who did not see
these things with our own eyes have
ended by accepting none at all unless on
the best Of authority. Next to the pro-
duction Of crude oil the development Of
the transportation business is the most
interesting feature about the industry
After the oil is brought to the surface
1t must be stored, transported and re-
fined. At first the crude oil was put in
barrels, hauled by wagon to the nearest
river and fioated down to Pittsburg or
Oil City on barges or RATS. In winter
it was hauled overland all the way.
This was an expensive and tedious proc
ess and the problem was a serious one
until the pipe line system was perfected.
The man who laid the first pipe line,
however, was ruined, both physically
and financially, by the project. His
idea was good, but he did not carry it
out we'll. Others did, though, and now
there are 80, 900 miles Of pipe line in
the United States, the longest sections
being those which connect the oil re-
gions with New York and that which
runs to Chicago

The birthday Of the oil industry is
definitely fixed as Saturday, Aug. 28,
1859, for it was ON that day that Colo
mel f. l. Drake "struok oil" ON the
Willard farm, two miles south of Titus
Vile He was the first man to drill for
oil. Petroleum had already been secured
from salt wells, but II was regarded ~
. nuisance. Small quantities of 1t were
bottled, however, and on the label was
shown picture of derrick. George H.
Bissell, New York lawyer, saw this
label, and IL suggested an idea TO him.
II oil could be found in boring for salt,
why not bore for oile In 1854 the Penn.
sylvania Rock Oil company was formed,
but 1t was In May, 1853, before Drake,
who had been engaged to sink the well,
went TO Titusville and began operations.
He had 81 900 with which TO begin op.
erations, and his salary was to be like

And be needed something to increase
respect for him among his new neigh.
bors for they looked upon him as a yer.
liable crank. His enterprise was ridi-
culed throughout the country, for such
thing as boring for oil had never be-
fore been heard of. But after many vex.
atious delays the Drake well was finally
sunk, and at the depth Of about 70 feet

wonder Of the section. There were not

refined it was sent back by wagon in tin
cases and sold as illuminating oil. The
first lamps were made of tin and had a
round wick such as had been used in
burning sperm oil, but these were found
to be dangerous and Colonel Drake had
glass lamps sent from Pittsburg. The
refined oil sold for Sl.95 a gallon; 50
that the Drake well was seen to be a
highly profitable enterprise
1t was not long before Titusville was
the center Of the first "oil rush. Men
who had laughed at Drake were now
frantically sinking wells on their own
account. Farms were leased right and
left, and every man who knew anything
at all about drills or drilling was hired
at fancy prices. The first wells were
located by surface indications and sunk

Theoretically the transmitter might be in

DIR. Dun Lany's machine has some fea,
lures that seem to be better than this later
contrivance. Instead of using fat NOV.

cylinder press, and has his copy and his

cylinder instead of on bed which goes
back and forth Instead of sheet of block
tin, he draws his pictures ON a zinc plate
with nonconductiye paint. His pictures,
instead OF being composed of series OF
horizontal lines, are made up OF vertical
lines. But the Hummel machine could be
made to produce work Of this kind. The
operation of the tracing points and pencils
of both machines are controlled by delicate
and complicated clockwork arrangements
and small electric motors.
