Greatest Strike Yet Made in Indiana

spec,al 10 the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BLUFFTON, Ind. Jan. 1.-THE greatest
oil well ever struck in the Indiana field
was opened up Thursday by G. A. Mason
and NJ Daley, of this city, on the Powell
farm in Blackford county. There is no
question of it's ability to produce 1000 bar
rels day. Last night all the five tanks
on the lease had been filed, a sixth one
was being placed and four more were on
the way to the farm. The fifth tank was
filled in an hour and three-quarters, being
at the rate of $50 barrels of oil an hour
Not having tankage a big ditch near by was
damned up, and fully 1900 barrels were al
lowed to flow in this excavation before the
sixth tank could be placed. The rain last
night washed this out and they lost $1,000
in good money. Dailey's sons are at work
on the lease, and have not slept in forty
eight hours. The we'll was not expected to
do anything like it has and this accounts
in a measure for the unprepared condition
in which it found the lucky operators. AL
ready several good offers have been made
for the lease and the big well. One of these
offers was better than $4,000. The Stand
ard has attached its line and began pump
ing away the oil already into their tanks,
and from this time on the great production
will be handled without waste The well
is at the present time the most marvellous
one ever drilled in Indiana, and If 1t keeps
UP for few weeks will be the most pro-
ductiVe one.

An bereavement Locomotive:

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LOGANSPORT, Ind, Jan. 14-Something
entirely unique in the way Of railway loco
motive has just been completed by Henry
Sehrt, a well-known machinist employed at
the King drill works. in this city. 1t is be-
ieved that Mr.. Sehrt has constructed the
smallest complete railway locomotive in ex-
istence. Mr.. Sehrt has been working on this
engine for years, and has at last completed it
to his satisfaction. The engine is complete
in every essential detail of a properly
equipped railway locomotive, and is but
eleven inches in length. 1t weighs forty
pounds, and is capable of carrying eighty
pounds of steam, tested by the gauge at the
King drill works. Its throttle lever is about
the size Of a pin, and yet controls the move
nents of the engine so completely that the
mechanism responds to every touch OF the
lever with the same facility as would real
locomotive ready for road service. 1t runs
forward and back with equal facility, and
can be instantly reversed while in motion.
The engine produces it's own steam, having
a firebox. boiler and cylinders complete, and
is a complete working model. 1t is believed
that this is the smallest engine of its kind
capable of producing its own steam that
has ever been made.

LEBANON, Ind, Jan. 14.-The Christian
Church at Brunswick in the southern part
of this county, has a controversy in regard
to an organ. Some of the members are very
much opposed to an organ in the church,
and others are strongly in favor. About a
year ago two young women of the church
circulated a subscription paper and raised
enough money to purchase an organ and
when the instrument arrived it was placed
in the church. Since that day the two fac
lions have been drifting wider and wider
apart. Last Sunday Rev. Sommers, of In
dianapols, arrived on invitation and began
a revival meeting 1t is charged that the
with the express purpose of obtaining the
organs removal. The Indianapolis minister
refused to allow the use of the organ, and
the frequent discussions resulted in a gen.
eral row Thursday night, breaking up the
revival meetings.
