farmers. 1t is a machine which
may be operated by gasoline elec-
tricity, and is said to be adapted
to ploughing, seeding, cultivating
or harvesting. The engine or
motor is in the forward or drive
wheels, which are joined by long
reach to the small rear wheels
over which the seat Of the driver
is placed. A large transverse bar
crosses the reach bar Of the center,
and to this transverse bar the
plough, cultivator or other appli'
ances for farm work may be attach
ed. The entire power Of the en-
CINE may be applied to one wheel

WHERE ARE THEY?
OIL Wells That Have Been Running For
Forty Years in Arizona.

The following from the London
Times will be news to all Ari-
zonans:
The recent catastrophe at Baku,
whereby four of the riches naphtha
springs in the vicinity have been
set on fire and 500 lives lost, will
probably have to be classified
among those confagration that can
never be extinguished.
Baku has been visited by two
such disasters since the old wells
were discovered in 1858. on one
occasion some children lit bonfres
near spring, which promptly
became ignifed and five men
perished IN the flames. The own
ers were ruined, for they were an
able to put it out, and from that
day to this it has been ablaze.
Since then the heat Of the earth
caused by the fire in question
made IN adjacent we'll burst into
fame, and after burning for IL
years and consumed 30,000,000
gallons Of oil the spring became
dry.
Probably the most destructive
Of its kind ever known has been
burning in Arizona for upwards Of
40 years. Fourteen petroleum
wells involved, and it is estimated
that 100000 gallons of oil are
being consumed per annum. The
flames continue to rage as furious
ly as ever, despite the fact that
nearly 100 lives and more than a
million of money have been spent
in vain attempts to quence them.
SO great is the heat impaired to
the soil that no Vegetable or
animal life can exist for any length
of time within radius of ten miles.
We are at loss to locate these
burning wells unless they be at
Texas Hill. Perhaps Chinese in

Burned At The Stake.

At Birmingham, Ala, on Aug. 8,
with agonizing screams and his
eyes bulging from his head, John
Wesley Pennington, negro, was
burned at the stake near Enter
prise before crowd of 500 en-
ragged and determined citizens of
Coffey county.
The mob was composed Of both
whites and blacks, and though the
suffering wretch plead for mercy
and franucally endeavored to break
the chains that tightly bound him,
not a trace ofsympathy was shown
on the faces that peered at him
through the flames.
Pennington had committed a
brutal assault upon Mrs. J. G.
Davis, wife of one of the most
prominent farmers of Coffey coun-
ty, and confessed his guilt. The
crime was committed in the
morning, while Mrs. Davis was
gathering vegetables in her garden.
She was choked into insensibility
and left lying in the garden. AS
soon as she regained her senses
Mrs. Davis crawled to the house
and told her husband what had
happened.
A large posse was quickly or
ganized with blood hounds and
they chased the negro until early
next morning when he was captur-
in a swamp.
Pennington was bound hand and
foot and taken back to Davis
home for Identification. The word
of the assault on Mrs. Davis had
been sent by runners for miles
around Enterprise and every farm
er in the neighborhood had Joined
in the search. There is not a tele-
graph Office in Coffey county, but
messengers travelled fast, and when
the posse arrived this morning
with Pennington, at least 500
persons were gathered near the
Davis residence.
A great shout went up when the
prisoner was seen by the mob, but
at the signal the men withdrew to
the woods and quietly awaited the
result of the meeting between Pen
nington and Mrs. Davis.
Mrs. Davis Immediately recog-
nized him and the negro broke
down and wept. He admitted
having committed the assault and
pleaded for mercy, but no mercy
was shown.
The negro was dragged from the
house into the woods whore the
crowd had gathered.
Several of the citizens had al.
ready driven IN iron pipe into the
ground and as the men approached
with Pennington, both whites and
blacks were pilling brush around
the stake.
The negro saw his doom and
with u scream Of terror fell to the
ground in faint. He was quick
ly revived and dragged to the
stake while the crowd stood silent
Iy by. The frightened man was
limp and had to be helped up
while the chains were fastened
around his neck and body. When
all was ready the cry was given
and the crowd stood back. The
match was applied to the pile with
oil to feed upon, the tiny flames
SOON burst into a roaring fire.
By this time the fire had gained
such headway that nothing could
be seen except wriggling motion
in the center Of the circle Of fire.
A deathly silence followed, in a
few minutes the flames had suffici-
emily subsidized TO see that his head
had fallen forward and hung limp
upon the iron chain. The body
was quickly consumed and all of
Pennington that remained was
pile Of ashes. The crowd then
quietly dispersed.
