fight OVER CHILD.
HABEAs CORPUS RETURN IN CASE
OF MARGARET PIERCE.
SETS UP TWO AGREEMENTS
j. T. Charles and Wife Allege That
Mrs. Eta Lyles Gave Away Her
Little Child, Margaret
Bonney Pierce.

In the struggle being made I'm the dis
trict court by Mrs Eta Lyles to recover
from Mr.. and Mrs John r. Charles her
little daughter, Margaret Bonney Pierce.
4 years old, whom the Charleses have re-
named Margaret Helen Charles, the lat
ter have filed an answer In the habeas
corpus proceedings before Judge Me-
Clernan.
One of the reasons given by Charles
and his wife in the return TO uphold their
claim to the child and Justify their
refusal to give her over to her mother Ii
as follows:
The respondents represent and show
to the court that the said minor child
is happy and contented in the home of
respondents, and is growing up as a
happy child, with all the best influences
with which II Is possible to surround
her.
They Like Her Much.
Another reads: THAT your respond
ents have become very much attached to
the said minor child, and are desirous
of retaining the custody thereof, with the
desire to continue to furnish the said
child with suitable and desirable
home"
Charles filed a copy of nm agreement
between Mrs. Lyles and her former hus-
band, Pierce In which the child is given
by Mrs. Lyles to Pierce and n copy of
an agreement between them and Pierce,
In which the latter placed the child In
their charge.
They take the ground that Mrs. Lyles
has parted with all claim to the little
girl through her agreement with Pierce,
and that the child belongs to them
through their agreement with the latter.
The agreement between the Charleses and
Pierce says they are to have the child
during her minority. Pierce is In Mex
leo, and the court has been asked by the
defendants to allow them to have his
deposition taken before they are required
to come to trial.
A demurrer was filed In the court to-
day by Mrs. Lyles. which attacks the
report on the ground that II does not give
any sufficient reason to justify Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles in restraining the child Of
her liberty.

During the past 10 or 10 years there
has been a remarka ole increase In the
number OF international marriages in

ANOTHER OIL GUSHER.
Southern No. of the Jennings Field
Brought in Saturday.

Before the excitement caused from the
bringing in of a mammoth oil gusher at
Jennings last week had subsidized, the
citizens of that fourishing town were
thrown into another spasmodic state last
Saturday afternoon when news reached
the city that Southern No. had shot
solid four inch stream of oil 80 feet
ever, did not come so unexpectedly as did
that of No. 8, as it was almost assured
that the well would begin to spout in a
few days.
The liner was placed in position about
noon and the work of removing the pipe
was Immediately commenced. Profting
by the experience they had in No. 3,
the drillers were more cautioust and
succeeded in getting all of the pipe out.
Shortly after the pipe was removed a
rumbling noise was heard and was fol-
lowed by, first the water, then the oil
slowly at first and gathering strength
each minute, it soon reached the height
of No. 3.
This we'll has a peculiar history. Ever
since drilling commenced they were great
ly handicapped by gas pressure, which at
times threatened to overpower the f;;mps
AAA~>A
from this we'll went to its relief, it was
then that they came near losing the well.
The spray of oil from No. 8 was blown
over the boilers, causing the drillers to
bank fires in the boilers, and it was only
by the prompt work of Drillers Cham
pion and Noble, who made the connection
with the Jennings Oil Company boilers,
and kept the pumps going, that they
saved the WELL The officials of the
Southern Oil Company are greatly pleas
ed with this WELL and with the exception
of the size, being 4-inch, it is in every
way equal to No g. They estimate the
capacity of this well to be over $4,000
barrels per day. AS soon as the well is
thoroughly cleaned it will be connected
with the other wells in the field in sup
plying the pipe line. -
Concerning the other wells in the
field there is but little news reported.
Since losing the pipe in Jennings Nc. 2,
the men have been going on stea iilv
with the drilling and expect within a
few days, a week at the longest, to
bring this well in as a gusher.
The Pelican people successfully pass
ed the gas pocket at 200 feet, which has
caused all of the others trouble, and are
proceeding with the well as fast as pos
sible. ,
