JudRs Taylor gave his decision this
norhiDe in the matter If the m otion

Ohio against Annie E. George. The
motion was published In full Ia the News
Democrat list Friday. There were
seventeen grounds to the motion aud In
passing on It tho curt took up each IN D.
zion, with possibly three unlmportant ex-
sepilons, separately.
The Oourt stated that the motion was
in substance an attack on the constitu-
tionaltty Of the jury law and on the
jurisdiction Of the court In Its method Of
securing the grand jury; It oontended
that the present jury law was mands-
tory instead Of directory, and that the
mandatory provisions had not besn COM
piled with. The court held different
in every particular. He held that the
drawiDJ Of the jurors was regular, and
shat having been legally qualified by the
SQUIRT there was no ground for attacking
that feature. The supreme court had
held that the jury law was constitu-
tional, nnd the court believed that every
question raised 10 this motion had been
settled by the supreme court. The fact
that those questions were raised under an
old jury system, as contended by counsel
main object fyr that attack was to get
away With professional Jurors and
hangers on. The court was convinced

that the law was plain In It's interpretat ation
that an objection t. jurors must be taken
advantage Of by challenge for cause in
stsad of by motion to quash or plea ia
abatement.
The only questions, Ia the courts
opinion, which oluld legally be raised in
q motion to qnash were thoss In the
twelfth aud thirteenth grounds, which
were considered Jointly. They referred to
the jury not havirg been sworn as
provided by law, and because, as the
motion alleged, no record showed that
the foreman had been separately sworn
in. Investigation into this matter CON-
yinced TIE court that the foreman bad
been sworn In legally and that the re-
cords were ample.
The motion was therefore overruled.
Attorney Welty asked that exceptions
to the ruling be noted. He added that
he would file plea In abatement. At

OIL At MAGNOLIA.
There is Not Much More Than a
Smell of 1t
BUT COMPANIES ARE FORMING
And 1t IL the Intention to Thoroughly Test
the Field Before 1t Is Abandoned
other Towns In this Neigh
bOrhood Are Excited.

Phe Iron Vall,y Reporter man has
been investigating the oil boOms 10 the
raroius Ohio towns In this vicinity, and
prints the following:
It appears that several years ago
hagn lila had an oil boom and a co N
pany was formed to put down a we'll 1t
was started aud put down to the depth
of 900 feet. Becoming discouraged at
not finding oil at that depth, the opera
tors abandoned the well, bat were so
disgus!ed at results that they did not
even pub out the casing. The recent
sioh strikes Ia the Solo field, however.
again awakened interest at Magnolia.
Some time during the summer, our
informant told us, farmer was plowing
near the old well when he was attracted
BY the smell of oil which he belle we'd
came from the we'll. He did not bother
about the matter, however, until folks up
shers aagin began talking or oil. Then
be told Of smelling oil near the old well.
This led TO an Investigation. A small
stone was tied to a long line and lowered
into the hole. When pulled out 1t was
Dripping with oil. The latter part of
last week a sand pump was procured and
twenty gall ms Of the precious fluid,
which had stood in the hole for goodness
knows how long, was pumped out The
result 10 that home company has been
forped and ell the land has already
been leasei. Magoliaites announce
their intention Of pntting down Well
as speedily as possible. Mineral Poiut
is also Interested in the venture, and
number Of her citizens have been fortu,
nate emo gh to secure slice Of the Mag
nclin oil field. We were told a company
Is also to be formed at the Point to begin
% operate at Magnolia. Maenolia citizens
hays small bottles Of the oil pumped
from the wen in their possession, ana it
IL sain there can bs no doubt as TO its
gsnuinentss. We understand also that
GDadennutteu, Beaverdsm Valley, Stone
Creek, Port Washington and New
eomerst wn also have the oil fever
Uhriohssiile is also agltating the ones
zion and has already taken step, to organ
iss q home ooa pany.

Drillers Have Put Up the Price
For Putting Down Holes.
CANTON PARTIES INTERESTED
The scio Field is stiI on the Boom and
Some People of This City Desire to
Have 4 heir Money Flow Out
OF the Ground.

A company con poset Of Canton CAPT.
talists has secured town lot leases In tbe
scio oil Geld and drilling operations are
now being actively pushed. Their terri
tory is In the midst Of producing wells,
and the prosp cs are bright that in three
or four weeks they will bs pumping oil
and securing returUs on their investment.
1t is said that the contractors aud drillers
have inoreasei their rates, and the Can
ton company is forced t. pay almost
double the former rates for sinking their
we'll. However, If the proiuotion holds
up they will come out all right event
uslly.
On the last day Of January there were
40 producing wells In the Solo district
February will show fewer wells drilling
on town lots, but more on farms round
about. The daily production has passed
the 1000 barrel mark, and enthusiasts
claim tsat the production will reach
5000. AS yet the older wells show but
little decrease.
Soio has new ordinance creating a
polie force with paw Of SAC month aud
fees. Another ordinance requires owners
to dig ditch around each tank to protect
and conflne the oil In case of fire.
The new Watt hotel just opened has a
dining room 1s by 80 and twelve sleep
ing apartments on the second floor.
Meals and luroh are served at all hours.
The proprietor formerly conducted a res
taurant at Steubenville.
Mr.. RoSley of Allegheny, who lost
$17, in the Jewett field, is likely soon
to make it back at Scio.
The Sergeant we'll In Scio is the Daddy
Of all the wells iu town. It Is producing
lSO barrels day. DuriuR the month of
Janda'y 1t increased its capacity 20 bar
rels. An oil msgnate has rented Mrs.
Mansaeld's hone In Soio, paving ter $75
a month, while she lives with sister.
OIL is oil and helps thi gs to slide. The
Carroll Chronicle gives the following
facts: The sale of the property of the
scio OIL and Gas Co. to Brown, Myers &
Co. of Pittsburg for the consideration of
800, 900 spot cash was the largest single
cash transaction ever made In Harrison
county. The property cold consisted of
three producing wells and leases on
8, 900 acres. The leases were subject to
the usual one-eighth Of the production to
the land owners and also four per cent Of
the remaiUiug sevsn-eighths to a. A.
Snyder, the original promoter and driller
and the man who discovered the Sclo
Geld. This company was the first one
In scio. 1t had faith in Mr..
Snyder and raised money to back his ex-
periments. The company had paid up
,api ital Of $500, consisting Of 2s4 shares
at s25 each. This was the entire invest
ment Of the company and paid all ex-
penses up to the time cf sale.
Stimulated by the successes In the Solo
lsld the Carrollton OIL and Gas Co. has
let contracts for drilling thrso wells In
Carroll county. Old abandoned wells at
and about Magnolia and Meobanicsto wn
are also being sunk deeper, with great
be pes Of success.
