FOUND NATURAL GAS.
Woodman Heard Kissing Lit a Match
and Stump Burst Into Flames

Lock Haven, Pa. Feb. Is
A strange story Of find of natural
gas comes from Dunnstable township
j, G. Stewart, a farmer in that town
ship, was engaged with several men in
cutting trees in the woods They
chopped into hollow tree which they
were about to fell, and as the axe cut
through the outer rim of wood
strange kissing sound as of escaping
steam was heard The men soon found
that either air or gas was escaping
from the hollow tree. A lighted match
was applied, when the fact was estab-
lished that the kissing was made by
natural gas. The ignited gas burned
to height of several feet, and contin-
ues to burn. The people of the section
are excited over the find, and believe
that a great quantity OF gas exists there
which can be struck by drilling down
a few hundred yards Il is probable
that oil exists in the vicinity.

Otherwise He Would Have Arranged

Belongings.

That Jacob Schwartzrock. wanted in
Wood county, Wis, on a charge of adul-
terry, was marched out of the city yester-
day by Sheriff Michael Vincent of Wis
consin without due process of law Is now
practically an established fact, for this
morning a little matter in connection with
it came to light which leaves slight room
for doubt.
Schwartzrock had an acquaintance in
this city to whom he gave his trunk and
some money for safe-keeping at the time
he was arrested. The trunk was full of
clothing. With the exception of $13 the
money was used in defraying the expenses
of habeas corpus proceedings commenced
in behalf of Schwartzrock several days
ago and carried to a successful termina-
ton in Judge Clancy's court yesterday
morning. Schwartzrock knew his friend
had the $S and it is not likely he forgot
about the trunk. but after his second
arrest he was not permitted to communi-
cate with his friend in regard to either the
money or the trunk. Consequently. the
money and trunk are still in Butte,
while their owner is speeding away to-
wards Wisconsin,. 1t has been alleged that
SchwartZrock expressed a desire to go
back with the eastern sheriff. but on the
other hand it is argued that had he done
such a thing he would have certainly ar
ranged for his trunk and money to accom-
pany him.

When the officer went to the karstedt
house he was informed by Mrs. Karstedt

rent and even if the girl a paid it she
had no receipt to show for it.

Despite the rain and the counter attrac-

ence was in attendance at the Grand last
night and was treated to a delightful rem
dition of THE Fencing Master the light
opera made popular by Marie Tempest.
There were more evidences of the elabo-
rateness of Colonel Thompson's scenic eff

ing both to eye aud ear and it's beauties
are all brought out by the Boston Lyrics.
Kunkel and Henderson did the comedy
parts inimitably and Hallam, in the tenor
role. surpassed himself. Miss Stanton, as
Francesca. scored another musical and
histrionic success. Miss Davis was like
wise thoroughly pleasing.
