PIPE LINE RUNS.
Largest from the Indiana Field In the
Last Five Years.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
MONTPELIER, Ind, Dec. THE pipe
line runs from the oil wells of Indiana for
the month of November were the largest of
the year, and, in fact, the largest for the
past five years. The total runs from the
wells for the month were Gle, 97 barrels, an
average daily production of 20.533 barrels.
also the largest daily average for many
years. This is an increase of 2,739 barrels.
The total shipments of crude oil for the
same period were S52,363 barrels, a daily
average of 2S,412 barrels, or a decrease
from the shipments of October of 1857
barrels.
During the first eleven months Of the
present year the total shipments of Indiana
oil amounted to 9,1S2,14 barrels. This shows
that during that period stocks of oil in
the mammoth storage tank have been
drawn on for 1888, $40 barrels, this being
that many more barrels used than the pro-
duction for hat period. The total runs
from the Indiana wells for that period
were 5,S43, 254 barrels, valued at 4,SS2, 953. 81.
The figures speak well for the industry.

Gobble, aged %fifty-fye, and then attempted
suicide. The elder Gobble will recover,
but the young man will die. The tragedy
occurred on r. c. Hamilton's farm, west
of town. this afternoon, and was the re-
suit OF a trivial controversy.
The elder Gobble has been in the employ
of Hamilton. He and his family expected
TO go to Otterbein on Monday. The son
visited the Hamilton place this afternoon
and asked his father to make a settlement
at once with Hamilton, instead of waiting
until Monday. The father refused The
son continued to insist until the father
was out of patience. After a short alter
cation the son drew a revolver and fired
twice at his father. One ball struck the
elder Gobble in the left hip. ranged down
ward and forward and came out on the
fore part of the leg about three inches
above the knee.
The young man then turned and went
home. which was about a quarter of a mile
distant, and told his mother he had shot
and probably killed his father. He then
walked out the front door, and. in the
presence of his mother, placed the re-
vOlver TO his head and pulled the trigger.
The ball penetrated the skull and inflicted
a fatal wound.
