Our citizens, and especially the
stockholders in the Jennings Oil

receipt of news from the Jennings
Oil Well, which stated that on
withdrawing the two-lnch pipe from
the well through which the water
was forced to wash the cavity atthe
bottom, rumbling sound was heard
and in a few seconds a stream of oil
shot into the air distance of As feet.
1t was soon learned however, tina,

SEEING THE LIVERY MEN.

We understand that it is the III
tention of the Park Association to
visit shortly all the livery men in
town, with a view of making ar
engagements with them for handling
the crowd of visitors who will come
here on Sunday, Oct. 9Th.
Some arrangements are TO be
made whereby the people Will be
treated fair, and the different stable
owners allowed to make some
money. That seems very far
proposition, and 1t is, and we hope
that the Park Association will have
no difficulty IN coming TO some
amlcabe arrangements with the
stable owners. Every one remem
beers the charges brought against
the stable owners on the occasion oil

sincerely hope the livery men will
see the good to be derived BIZ unity,
and will not be backwards in meet

Jennings Record of Saturday
says: While the bailing process was
going on at the Jennings well at
II a. m. today the well began to
spout and shot a stream skyward
to the top of the derrick which is
10 feet high. The well is still
clogged with 40 feet of quicksand
and cannot get the full force of
the pressure.
While at work the rope holding
the bailer broke, leaving the
bailer in the well, which together
with the sand choked it so that
che flow was entirely stopped. No
further development can be made
until the baiier is cleared from
the well, when work will again be
resumed bailing out the sand.
When the gusler first made its
appearance it shot 20 feet into
the air and consisted mainly Of
mud, sand and water, but little
later a steady stream Of pure oil
shot upward about 80 feet. The
Stockholders Of the Jennings Co
are delighted, and oil stock Of the
