TEXAS OIL COMPANIES.
Attorney General Bell IL Conducting an In
vestigation with View Of Prosecuting
Wildcat Concerns.

Austin, Tex, May 27-Attorney
General C. K Bell is conducting an
investigation into the standing of the
numerous oil companies that have
been organized under the laws OF
Texas during the past three months,
with a view of discovering and prose-
cutting the wildcat concerns. 1t is
conservatively estimated that of the
400 and more oil companies that have
been organized for the purpose of
operating in the Beaumont field and
in other parts Of the state fully 50
per cent. have nothing substantial
back of them, and that in selling their
stock swindle has been perpetrated
upon innocent purchasers. These IL
legitimate concerns are to be
thoroughly ventilated and the inves-
tigation is expected to result in a
large number Of criminal prosecu-
tions against officers of companies
that have been practicing fraud in
selling worthless stock.
j. N. Page, citizen of Georgetown,
Tex, a short distance north of Aus
tin, invested less than 5000 in a tract
of Is acres of land situated on Spin
die Top Heights, in the very heart OF
the new oil district, less than two
years ago. He sold one acre of the
tract about ten days ago for $4,000.
The remaining IA acres were sold by
Mr.. Page Saturday to a syndicate for
SG00,000.
Contractor Hamill brought in Nc
Fadden well No. 3, for the j. M. Cuff
fey Petroleum company yesterday.
1he oil spouted over the top of the
derrick, but was Immediately shut off.
II is considered very fine well. Hey
wood well No. came in Saturday
night and is magnificent gusher.
1t is the only eight-inch well in the
field and consequently the biggest
producer.
A great strike of oil has been made
, at Sour lake, 20 miles northwest OF
beaumont. A well was struck Satur-
day evening in the rear of the Sour
Lake hotel and at once became a
rusher, flowing $4,000 barrels a day.
This new strike, so far from the
Beaumont field, has caused renewed
excitement all over Texas and a rush
10 the new district Is already on.

the announcement that a mass meet

ency, the mobilization Of the fleet for

garded here as signs Of aggressive
intentio. on Chili'S part, but only as
natural precautions evoked by the un.

FOR VERMONT
Court Of Claims Has a
A LARGE sum
May Be Recovered From Civil
War Expenses

Washington, Dec. l3 Within a
few days it is expected that a suit
will be fled ir the court OF claims to
recover a considerable sum for the
State OF Vermont on account Of money
expended during the civil war In the
equipment OF troops. The exact am.
cunt to be specified in the suit IS not
known, Dut the papers are now at
Montpelier. The suit IS brought by
Gen. John B. Cotton OF this city, for
merly of Lewiston. Me-, and once a
law partner OF Senator Frye Of that
state and by VIM. F. White, the SEN
ator's grandson They have large
law office en- F. street, this city, and
are specialists in that class of work.
The favorable outcome of the suit is
said to be a certainty based on a re-
cent decision Of some TWO weeks ago
in the court of claims favorable to
Maine, ia which that state recoverS
some Sill, 900
Briefly the ground for recovery is
this: Complying with the order OF
President Lincoln early in the war,
Vermont, as did many other Northern
States, raised money to equip 81 'ral
regiments of troops. The federal
government pledged itself to REIN.
burse the States for expenses incurred
in this work. AS Vermont did not
have sufficient money In the State
treasury bonds were sold to raise the
necessary funds. After some two
years the principal Of these bonds was
paid hut the government held that 1t
could r OF pay interest money. This
interest amounted to very large sums
as the bonds ran for Sc 7eral years. AL
though the claim was p ssed for In
terest it was Of no avail Finally a
decision was rendered by the courts
favorably to New York State. TAX
ing this as a clue Gen Cotton some
two years ago arranged with Maine
| to press her claim for interest and af'
ter long arguments I'd much delay be
has secured a favorab e decision TOR
the state, as we'll as for Rhode Island,
and New Hanpshire Now he has ar
ranged with Vermont authorities to
try their suit OWith the favorable de-
ciSion in the other cases, the way Il
thought to be clear for Vermont.
