Special to the Leader.
Macksburg, O.. Sept. 2S.-ln Noble
county action has been instituted
against Longfellow Bros, of this place,
for failure to comply with the new
law requiring operators to secure Ii
censed permission to locate a we'll and
for failure to close off the water from
certain coal veins.
The well upon which this action is
based is the one near Dudleyville, o.
Mr.. A. ]. Longfellow. of the COM
pany, informed your correspondent
that they will test the validity of the
law. 1t is also claimed that the Dud-
ley field does not lie within the certain
coal regions referred to. To prove
that it does the state must make a
scientific investigation.
Strict compliance with these laws
will in many cases almost double the
cost of drilling.

Is conferred by the government as a

conferred Is something like that of the

to wear male attire has been given are

Nine. Foucalt. the bearded woman;
