INCLINED TO DENY MOTION
TO DISMISS ALvoRD CASE.

Former Note TelIer's Attorneys Pre-
sent the Matter in a Rather Start
ling Light.
NEW YORK, November 16.-The
case of Cornelius L. Alvord, former
note teller of the First National Bank,
was called in the United States district
court to-day.
Jacob F. Miller, Alyord's attorney,
made motion to dismiss the case on
the ground that the prosecution had
failed to prove that any funds had been
taken from the bank, and hence he ask
ed that the prisoner be discharged. The
judge asked him if he did not intend
making any defense and he replied that
he did not; that the prosecution had
proved no larceny and hence there was
no crime. The judge then gave the at
torneys until next Friday to file briefs
of the case and reserved his decision
until that time He said, however, that
he was inclined to deny the motion.

16.-There is great activity in the vicin-
ity Of the Rinehart tract in Richie
county. This company has never yet
had a dry hole out of the ten they have
drilled and the attention of others has
been attracted to the field. Several
wells have been started close to their
lines and as thy have stated that they
would protect their property and drill
two wells to every one drilled near
their lines there will probably be a
lively fight in that territory soon.
Major A. D. Hawkins, who developed
the Cairo field, and who it is stated has
never drilled dry hole anywhere, has
a rig up and will drill at once on the
Ross farm adjoining the Rinehart
tract.
I. N. Barnsdall has rig up and
began spudding a few days ago on
Wolf run, adjoining the Rinehart tract
on another side.
a location has been made and the
contract let for the rig and the rig
irons are on the ground for a we'll On

This is a tract of 25 acres which runs
in wedge shape into the heart of the
Rinehart lease.
The Steelsmith No. !, on Layfield run,

was drilled to the Big Injun and was
dry, with only a showing of Oil but a

Steelsmith has made another location
on the Storrs tract Of 500 acres, has the
rig timbers on the ground and will
build the rig and commence drilling
within two weeks. This is also near
the Rinehart deveopment.
Mallory Bros. some time ago drilled
wells in this section for a gas company.
They are now putting up a rig on the
Templeton farm ON Douglass run,
northeast from the Rinehart field. but
will have to wait for water before they
can drill. 1t is said that when drilling
for gas they got some oil here and that
they think they have good territory
now.

Miss May Baker was the Lady Harriet

lists entered with much zest into the

lady, who. for love. became a servant.
Lady Harriet II a peculiarly feminine
character and all its phases were pleas
ingly reproduced by Miss Baker. and as
the part of Nancy Is somewhat of copy
OF Lady Harriet, Miss Richardson was
seen at her best.
The opening duet between Miss Baker
and Miss Richardson was particularly
well sung. as was the good night song
by the quartet.
Miss Baker sang with pleasing effect
''The Last Rose of Summer" and the OLD
favorite was so enthusiastically received
that she had TO sing II over again.
