Yesterday afternoon a very bad run
away occurred on the West Side. The
ice wagon driven by Mr.. George Tudors
was standing near the ice plant. when.
for some unknown reason, the team be
came frightened and ran away. They
went straight home and were making a
good run with the heavy wagon. Reach
ing home, they went towards the barn.
and then circIed through the yard around
the house. Coming back on the north
side of the house the encountered the
clothes line laden with bed clothing, and
down il went. The team hauled the
wagon over the bed clothes and trampied
them in the dirt, and then headed f0r
the barn. The barn door was partly
open. and one of the horses ran straight
for it. Only one of them could get To
the door and the other was brought up
square against it. The wagon tongue
was run through the door and the
team could not Set away, nor move i'm
any way. Their owner then came up
in a towering rage and commenced beat
ing one Of the horses with a board. He
Kept this up for quite a while until tho
number of neighbors standing around
watching things made him cool Of "A

neighbor. got the team out of their bad
position and embarrassed them. There
was no damage done the wagon. and as
far as could be seen, no serious damage

RUMORED COAL FIND
Foot Vein Reported Discovered
on Dewey Farm
BY TENANT OF PLACE
An Investigation of Report
VIII Be Made.

If the tenant on the farm Of H. H.
Dewey, who came to Mr.. Dewey's
house last night and reported the dis
coyery of a foot-vein of coal on the
place is not mistaken, greater Wichita,
with loO,VoO people. is in sight.
Several years ago he drilled q well
eighty feet deep AM got water, but it
was salty an not 1T to use So the
other day he decided TO drill another well
in another part of the farm. Machinery
TO drill a well deeper than the first one
was secured and it was the intention
TO drill to good water. The well was to
be a two-inch well. At the depth of
eighty feet the drill entered a vein OF
coal, according TO report, that was just
one foot thick and Of a good quality.
This is a good vein, and. needless to
state. the parties were very much sur
prised TO find il
Mr.. Dewey viii go TO the farm this
morning to see it and TO investigate the
possibilities of working the mine, if mine
it should prove to be. The farm is To-
Gated just six miles east Of Wichita on
kellogg street.
It is a well known fact that Wichita
is situated en- bed OF soil that Is many
feet in depth Just how deep this bed Of
soil is no one has ever been able to tell
Those who have made a study Of geology
say that the country east Of Wichita
is the top of a range Of mountains and
that west Of Wichita is the bottom Of
a deep valley that has been gradually
filed with soil washed from the higher
mountains. The result IS that it is not
very deep TO mineral formations east
Of Wichita, while west of Wichita it
is futile to expect that mineral OF any
kind will ever be found at a depth that
viii enable men to reach it. 1t is rea-
scnable to expect that gas and oil both
are TO be found In a certain depth that
can easily be reached to the east II only
the right parties go to work and drill
down to 1t.
The reported finding Of coal on Mr..
Dewey's farm will create interest
enough in the matter to cause men who
are in the business to look into It, If
they do. it is to be expected that some
time in the near future Wichita viii
have gas for fuel as well as oil and oil
wells and all that they bring to the

BECAUSE OF THE WHEAT.
Black Leg is Reported Among Sedg-

Several farmers of the country around
Wichita who were in the city yesterday
reported a great number of young cattle
in their vicinity which had blackleg.
They said that most of the cattle affected
were last spring calves and a number
had died of the disease Most farmers
were of the opinion that the presence of
the disease was due to the fine pasture
of the wheat The wheat that was sowed
early is up and a fine stand. growing very
fast. and after the grass died down early
in the summer the cattle ate a great deal
Of the green wheat. They said that in

their cattle into it some time ago that
