"FLANNAjGAN'S WAKE. !"

satile and felicitous oil oracle of
the Kentucky oil fields, Is holding
wake over the dead and dying
hopes of deep we'll advocates. Six
months ago Mr.. Flanagan In.
formed the practical oil men that In
Pulaski the Trenton limestone was
1900 feet beneath the surface and
In Wayne 1t was about 1900 feet
down. Drillers have been on the
Lookout for the blasted stuff ever
since. Although no driller will
say with any degree of positiveness
that he has seen any of Mr.. Elan.
nigan's Trenton In the twelve, thir-
teen and fifteen hundred foot holes,
that volumious writer having said
the horse was seventeen feet high
sticks to 1t. In a late geological
dissertation, he assumes that his
former proposition In reference to
the Trenton as true and accepted
and proceeds to make great sport
of the Parnell people and their
friends over their expectation of the
Gordon or any other oil producing
sand at depth of 1000 feet, be-
cause, with but one exception there
has never been found oil beneath
the Trenton. Admitting MIR. How
ard Flannagan's premises, practical
oil men may perambulate to the
rear and sit down with the rest of
the damphools.- Somerset, fKy.,)
