UNIVERSITY MEN

Tuscaloosa, May 7-(Special. .)-The University Baseball team has returned from Nashville and are extremely sore over the treatment accorded them while in the Tennessee capital last week. The boys were Harmed out" and placed as guests at homes where they knew one, no two of the boys being placed at the same place The boys stood this for day or two when Manager Steinhart took his men to the Tulane Hotel and paid their bili the Vanderbilt team refusing to pay it. The attempted ducking of West. the former commandant at this place, be- cause he was ''rooting' for the Alabama boys brought on scrap between the teams. The first men to Vests assist ance were Mcqueen and Stickney. two of the leaders against West during the in- surrection last December. The assistance rendered West by the Alabama team pre- vented the Vanderbilt boys from punish ing him for his loyalty to his alma mater.

THE CHOCTAW OIL
 PROPERTY BOUGHT
Captain Rose and Mrs. DahI-
 berg Reach Compromise
PURCHASE PRICE IS Sl1,O0O
Force of Men Will Immediately Begin Work of Boring Wells and Hunt Ing for the oil Strata-other
 Properties.

Mobile, May 7.--(Special.) )--It was an- nounced tonight that a deal for Cullom Springs property has been closed. Capt. Joseph A. Rose. President of the Royal Baking Powder Company and a widely known capitalist, has bought the property from the owner, Mrs. M. A. Dahlberg for sl1. .O0O The deal was carried out by Capt. Roses agents, Beverly, Gaines and Deni- son, local real estate agents. It is an nounced that Capt. Rose first offered $2s.o 900 for the property. but Mrs. Dahlberg demanded $30000. Mutual concessions were made.
 Captain Rose gets part of the property, six hundred acres, or thereabouts, grants Mrs. Dahlberg certain privileges and pays $l1 900 for the property Beverly, Gaines and Denison have stated that Captain Rose will reach the city in the morning from Ocean Springs, Miss, where he is at present with his family and a party of friends. He will at once close the nego- tiations and the transfer of the property will be had. Captain Rose will proceed without delay with the boring of the welf until the oil strata is reached. About twenty years ago the present well was bored by party of local capitalists. mainly through the advice of German oN men who interested them in the business. The we'll was sunk about 1850 feet when strata of rock was reached which was to all intents and purposes impervious to the drills several of which had been broken in the attempt to perforate the rock. As large sum of money had been spent in the work the we'll was then abandoned.
 Two local companies bid against Cap tain Rose for the possession of the prop erty. Beverly Gaines and Denison have sold a piece of land in Washington Coun- ty to local company, who are prospect Ing there for oil The exact location of the land is not given. Northern capital ists are said to be boring a we'll near the Florida line in Escambia County, but this cannot be verified.
 A local company is arranging to bore well at Hales Brick Yard, about six miles from the city, to the north. Work will begin in few days. Cullom Springs is To- cated about sixty miles from Mobile. and about seventeen miles from Waynesboro, which Is on the Mobile and Ohio Rail- road.
 It Is also about eighteen miles from the Bigbee river, and is well located as re- gards transportation. That section is now being investigated by a number of agents for northern oil men, and it is said there will be a rush within the next few days to properly look into the situation. The opinion is expressed by man who has had experience in the oil business that there is plenty of oil all through Mobile, Washington and Choctaw Counties.

Sir William vanhorn Discusses the Ru-

Montreal May 7.--Sir William Vanhorn chairman of the board of directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway, speaking about a rumor that Morgan and Hill had com pleted deal to secure control of the Canadian line, said:
 "I have no time to answer imaginations of spectators in stocks. Canadian Pa cific stock is held by 15.0O0 or more in- dividuals and there are not one hundred holders who, combined, could sell con trol. I do not believe that a dozen are to be found who would if they could sell. The directors have always given their attention to the permanent welfare of the property rather than to the stock exchange quotations of it's securities, feel ing sure that the securities would be prop erly appreciated by the public in the end"

 The most important question, however, to come up before the council tonight is contest of yesterdays election on the municipal light question. The vote yester- day was very close only 22 majority in favor of issuing bonds out of 420 votes cast.

Hon. John w. Tomlinson of Birmingham will represent the contestor. A warm time will be had.
 The biggest fish ever caught within dozen miles of Bessemer was pulled out of the waters of Valley Creek, just back of the big pipe works, yesterday. It was an immense cat, and tipped the scales at 50 pounds. Bessemer's Lone Fisherman, Jim Fulton, was the lucky one. The place is a favorite fishing spot. The water in places is eighteen to twenty feet deep.
