STAMPEDE FOR

OUT CLAIMS.
TALK OF NOTHING BUT OIL
LANDS GO UP TO FIVE TIMES
THEIR ORIGINAL PRICE
FORGET ALL BUSINESS.

Beaumont, Texas. Jan. 16-The excite
ment here over the big oil well increases
with each hour. There is no indication
that the flow of oil from the geyser is
diminishing nor is there any change in
the character of the flood. Capt. Lucas,
upon whose land the we'll is located, is
making preparations for an attempt to
stop the immense flow. The town con-
tinues to fill up and the streets suggest
a great holiday event. The lumber in
dustry is forgotten in the wild rush for
oil lands. The business Of the court in
the middle of session has been discon-
tinued and the court is idle. A crowd of
people block the streets until late at
night and everything is oil. The Stand
ard Oil company has scores of represen-
tatives on the scene. City property without
OIL prospects has increased five fold in
value.
George T. Craig of the Craig Oil Co.,
Toledo. Ohio, estimates the wells output
at from 5000 to 5000 barrels day. He
says the excitement exceeds anything he
ever saw. The California Oil company
has several representatives here and
several other fields are represented. The
city council tonight granted a franchise
of the streets for gas and oil pipe COM
pany for the purpose of transferring oil

accused, Death showed most the effects

the other hand, was comparatively self

IN A TERRIBLE GALE.
Ship Goes Ashore and Crew Probably
All Lost.

Port Townsend, Jan. 16--The German
ship FlOttbeck, reported ashore yester-
day south of Cape Flattery, is probably
a complete wreck, and there is a bare
chance of the crew having escaped death,
according to reports brought here this
morning by the tug Holyoke arriving
from the Cape. The Holyoke reports a
strong southwest gale and tremendous
sea off Cape Flattery which prevented
the tugs dispatched to the assistance of
the stranded vessel from reaching the
scene of the disaster and the captain
says that so furious is the gale, that it
would be almost impossible for any boat
to Withstand the terrOrs of the seas, and
If anything is left of the unfortunate
craft, it would be miracle. 1t Is the
opinion that the vessel has broken to
pieces. Two tugs are awaiting an oppor-
tunity to reach the scene of the disaster
and will venture out soon as the
weather will permit.

HEAVY DAMAGES.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-By ruling of the
appellate court in a decision handed down
by Judge Horton yesterday, the linseed
trust became liable for damages which
may aggregate large amount.
The case is that of S. H. Heath and
Milligan Manufacturing company against
the Linseed Oil company, which was re-
organized two years ago and became the
American Linseed Oil company. The
court found that the custom of the COM
rany in selling ~ pounds of oil as con-
sttuting gallon was illegal and
amounted to short weight. In so hold
ing. the court reversed the finding of the
court below and ordered the entry Of
a judgment against the company for
$4,000 with costs. The case was a test
one brought by Heath. & Milligan after
the discovery by A. M. Heath that a
gallon of linseed oil in reality weighed
"a pounds instead of ~ pounds as sold
by the trust.

their defense. The negro's guilt of tho
assault and murder last November of
Pearl Forbes, which he denied with his
last breath, they say. was proven con-
clusively by the mans own statements
while held at the Lansing penitentiary,
This evidence will be gathered and pub

In addition Sheriff Everhardy said
today that the report that Alexander
had assaulted third girl at Stillings,
near here. was true and that the Young
woman had appeared az the penitentiary
before the start for Leavenworth ana
positively identified the negro as her
aSsailant.
Sheriff Everhardy, who, together with
Warden Tomlinson of the penitentiary,
is responsible for the removal of Alex
ander from the penitentiary. offered his
defense this morning. Last night, over

worked since Alexander's arrest Ever

When asked regarding the report that
he had begged Governor Stanley for

II did not request that. I am now

nocent lives lost. The militia could have
done no good Two companies would
