Colonel II. G. Toler Is in New York
booking theatrical attractions for the

THROUGH TRAINS

Santa Fe to Build a Cutoff in
New Mexico.
SH0RTENS LINE 200 MILES
viii Throw All Santa Fee
Traffic through Wichita.
SHORTENS LINE 200 MILES

The following dispatch was received by
the Eagle yesterday from the general
managers office in Topeka:
General Manager Nudge Of the Santa
Fe system said today that his company
had decided at once to build from Portales
on the Pecos Valley line in New Mexico,
to Albuquerque. This viii be known as
the cut Of and VIII shorten the Santa
Fe main line TO the coast 200 miles and
make their road at least 50 miles shorter
than any other overland coast route"
The building Of this cut of means that
al transcontinental traffic over the San
"a Fe line viii 20 through Wict.ta and
over the Panhandle through western Kan
sas 10 Albuquerque, New Mexico and then
over the same route as heretofore All
the through trains from Chicago and the
east VIII go through Wichita TO Harper
through the western part of Oklahoma
and Texas 10 Portales on the line between
Texas ana New Mexico. The cutoff
would be about 800 miles in length and
viii be built in a northeasterly direction
as Portales is a considerable distance
south Of Albuquerque.
This move has been contemplated for
some time by the Santa Fe. but no definite
action was taken until few days ago
when the officials decided that the line
should be constructed as soon as possible.
The building of this line will cause a
considerable reduction in time to Cali
fornia points and will shorten the Santa
Fe main line something over two hun
dred miles and make the line fifty miles
shorter than any other transcontinental
line which means several hours reduction
IN time as the grades on the new line
would not be as heavy as the mountain
route by La Junta and Santa Fe-
The building Of this line and the chang
ing Of the heavy transcontinetal traffic TO
90 through this city VIII make it neces-
sarfy to change some Of the division
points and a large number Of trainmen
will probably make their homes in Wich-
tia and the eastern people will thus pass
through the most prosperous section OF
the state of Kansas and the great grow
ing country of Oklahoma and the cattle
country in western Texas.

TWENTY YEARS IN WICHITA

John Robbins. for twenty years a resi-
dent of Wichita, committed suicide
Thursday night by drinking two ounces
Of laudanum. He took the fatal poison
in the morning at about O'Clock. and
died at night, about half after nine All
day he slept while his daughter. Miss
Nellie Robbins, sat by his bedside taking
care of him. but not dreaming that her
father would never wake again. At :
o'clock she noticed. with a sudden fear.
that he was getting white. although his
respiration was regular and natural. She
sent for a doctor. but when the physician
got to the home. over 40s North Main
street. Robbins was dead.
There are none that cannot recall hav-
ing seen an old white man, with a red
handkerchief or netting drawn partly
over his face, sitting on the corner OF
Market street and Douglas avenue, grind
ing a hand organ and sending out all the
national airs in monotonous regularity.
This was John Robbins. Sc years old.
who has been totally blind for ten years
and has sat on the streets Of this city
grinding out small pittance for nearly
as long. For twenty years he has been
in this city. and before he became totally
blind he drove a dray. When a young
man he lost one of his eyes. The exposure
TO which he was subjected in driving in
al kinds of weather caused him to lose
his other eye Through some unknown
cause. an abscess formed on his breast
and he has suffered terribly from this
eating sore. It was because of this suf-
fering that he took his own life.
It seems from all the circumstances
surrounding the case that the deceased
calmly figured out that it would be better
for him If he were dead. He was any
thing but morose, and instead of being
respondent he loved TO talk. In the
morning when he decided to suicide, he
went down to a drug store on Main street
and bought 10 cents worth of laudanum
and drank il before he returned home.
The bottle that contained the poison was
found in his coat pocket, but that part of
the label that had the drug store name
on il had been cut of, evidently by the
druggist, who knew well what he was
doing in selling laudanum TO the Old man.
Robbins got the money to buy the laud-

TEST OIL FIELD
At 5000 FEET
United Drilling One of the Deep
est Wells In the World.
A TWELVE INCH HOLE

The United Oil company is
preparing to prove the thickness
of the oil bearing strata of the
Florence oil district. This has
never been ascertained, nor has it
been learned where the oil comes
from, where created and what
zone, or how many oil bearing
zones there are in the district
To do this the company has
started drilling a we'll which is
intended to reach a depth of 5000
feet. The hole is twelve inches in
diameter and is planned to be four
and one fourth inches in diameter
at the 5000 foot point. The der
rick is double strength, the bull
wheel engine and boiler are also
considerably larger than the ordi-
nary parts used in drilling more
shallow wells. The tools used in
the bore are 80 heavy that the men
can not handle them by hand, but
by crane.
The location of the we'll is one
third of mile southwest of Will
Iiamsburg, where producing wells
ere situated.
Prominent biologists give the
depth of the oil-be Aring strata
about 1000 feet The Laramie
sandstone, clay and coal
lies Immediately above the Mon
lana cretaceous formation which
is of an average of 500 feet thick,
which added to 1900 feet would
make the oil bearing zone close at
depth of $500 feet.
This has been disproved, how
ever, by striking oil at Williams
burg, in this district, at depth OF
$500 feet, by the United Oil COM
pany in we'll No. 279 and also in
well No. 267, at depth of close to
2,700 feet. Well No 257 was
drilled to depth of 1850 feet
This we'll would have been drilled
deeper but at this depth the en- q.
CINE proved too light and on the
last tour it WAS only able to lift
the tools from the hole. This
well is not more than one mile
west of town. Washings from the
hole we're taken from No. 257
every ten feet during the last $40
feet drilled and it was oil bearing
dirt from the Montana shale, the
oil bearing shale of the Florence
field.
This formation has never been
drilled through, and the United
will attempt to at least drill to a
depth of 5000 feet, to determine
its continuance. A we'll this deep
will be of great interests to geolo-
gists and every person interested
in oil, as it will determine what is
10 the lime which is said to under
lie the oil bearing shale.
1t has never been proven how
many oil strata there are in the
Florence field, but No. 279 opened
up the third. 1t is probab BILE that
there is fourth and it is the com
pany's aim to find out.
A prominent man in the en-
ploy of the United, who knows
something about oil wells, says
that this one, at depth of 5000
feet will be the deepest in the
world and therefore is an impor-
tant development in the oil bust
ness. What will be proven re-
mains to be seen, but it will be
one of the most important devel-
opments in oil in the Florence
field if oil is struck aud no doubt
other wells will be drilled as deep.
The developments will be in
teresting to watch. Below the
Montana cretaceous comes the
limestone formation of the Colo
RADIO group which is very thin.
Then comes the shale of the Colo
RADIO group and this is probably
