OIL Boom in Full Blast.
company

There are number Of prospec-
tive oilionaires in La Junta, pro-
viding the effort TO puncture an
oil basin in this vicinity proves
succ essful. Several of our lead
ing citizens, headed by Jake Blair,
the oil claim king, filed sixteen
oil location certificates in the
county clerks Office last Friday,
and in case oil is struck expect to
read their title clear some day to
256o acres of mother earth. The
land is located just south of Ben
ton, about tel miles south and
west of La Jnnta
The names of the prospective
oil magnates are as follows: +.
Blair, J. c. TallIaferro, c. c.
James, Robert Sebree, J. E.
Ganger, T. F. Coleman, Ed V.
Sabin, NJ. X. McCauley. The
names att ached to the claims are
as follows: Accident, Admiral.
Anna Louise, Bonnie Blue, The
Clementine. Dandy Jim, Della X,
Emily o., Eva L., Ida F., Inde-
pendence. Muggins, Quaker.
Russell F., and Santiago. The
oilionaires have a sinch on the land
for year, and in that time they
ought to be able to delve deep
enough into the bowels Of the
earth and find out where they are
at, and at the same time where
the Oil is Aft there is any.

Prof. lake, on explorations.

Prof. Arthur Lakes, an expert
geologist of Denver, visited Rocky
Ford early in the week at the in.
stance of the directors of the Oil
Development Company. In COM
pany with w. b. Goblin he made
tour of inspection through the
country on the extreme southern
border OF the county aud took OBJ
servations with view to deter
mining the oil prospects in that
quarter. According to MIR. Lakes
estimate OF the situation there is
oil underlying this section Of
country, and in his judgment the
oil bearing strata is much nearer
the surface along the Timpas
creek valley than it is closer to
the Arkansas river. The profes-
sor has been authorized to make a
geographical map of this part of
the state for the Otero company.
showing the location of the vari-
Gus strata and the oil probabilities
to be deduced from local con

tion. The company is quite san
guine of demonstrating the oil
bearing value of their territory.

"Thou Shalt Not KIN"

There were several preachers IN
La unta last Sunday night who
apparently forgot to remember the
scriptural admonition which APP
pears at the head OF this article.
No damage was done, but It was
evident to onlookers that the
spirit and the flesh were both
willing to do business providing
the occasion presented itself.
Last Sunday night the father in
law OF one Of our prominent citi-
zens left the latter's residence de-
claring that it was his intention to
attend divine services at one Of
our churches. Our prominent
citizen retired early, and Wien he
woke up about eleven o'clock and
found that his father-in law had
not returned he became alarmed.
A search was instituted at once,
but not trace OF the old gentlman
could be found anywhere. Finally
cur prominent citizen telephoned
to Sheriff Barr, requesting his aid
in the search, declaring that re
feared his father-in- law had been
waylaid and murdered.
Sheriff Barr came down town
about one o'clock in the morning
and searched all the back alleys
and out-of the way places in town,
but not a trace of the father in law
could he find any where. He then
thought that he would interview
the preachers and find out whether
any of them had noticed the old
gentleman at church. He called
at the residence of one of our local
sdivines and raped for admittance
along in the wee sma' hours. FL
nally some one came to the door
and in a rather quaking and trem-
ulous voice asked,
"Who's there?"
"SheriH Barr" replied the Of
ficer.
care you sure1" questioned
the preacher from the inside.
"Quite sure; open the door and
see"
"Well, yes, / know, but what's
wanted?"
While the sheriff was explaining
the object of his mission the door
was slowly opened and rather
strange sight met the officers gaze.
The preacher, in rather abbreviat-
ed attire, stood on the inside with
large. ugly-looking Ratchet in
his right hand, apparently pre-
pared for any emergency. He
could not give the sheriff any in
formation and the officer retired TO
renew his search.
He called at the residence OF
another divine, but the latter
would not even talk through
closed door He lifted the curtain
and talked through the window. ).
and the sheriff says he had a gun
in his hand that looked like
small cannon. The gentleman
with the small cannon could give
no information, and the sheriff
then decided to search the hotels
and lodging houses.
He finally found the much
wanted father in law in bed at the
Park house He had attended
church and after the service had
gone to the home Of his son in
law, but as he was unable to
arouse anv one after several vigor-
Gus trials, he decided to go to the
Park House and retire for the
night. And thus endeth the story
Of sensation that was nipped in
the bud and never saw daylight.

THE BRITISH TOURIST.

Ee Was PIeaAantIy surprased by the
Train Boys Attentions.
The British tourist sat in the car and
gaZed idly across the bleak prairies.
He felt slight touch and. looking
around. found that uniformed youth
had deposited several ruddy oranges
on the seat.
He didn't wait for the money" re,
marked the tourist, gazing from the
fruit to the rapidly retreating train
boy.
"He never does" said the fellow pas.
senger. with knowing smile.
"Oh. / seeI 1t is one of the advan-
fages of your great railroad system.
Free fruit for It's patrons"
The British tourist was just peeling
the second orange when a dainty pack
age of chocolate confectionery was de-
posted on his knee
''By Jove," he exclaimed enthus'aS
tically, ''thfs is delightful! When l re.
turn home, shall write paper on the
excellence of American travel"
In less than ten minutes he was the
recipient Of another package. 1t was q
little box containing black cigar and
two matches.
mo wonder you Americans like to
travel" he said. biting the bitter end
Of the cigar. Then he found that o
comic publication had found its was
to his seat.
This is greatT' he grinned. "Y am
going to tip the boy. Wait q moment"
The train boy halted. and the Iouris!
held out dime.
''What is that for?" asked the boy.
"For yourself"
"You owe me half. mister"
"Owe? thought you were giving
these things away"
"Not today. The half. please"
"But why don't you take the money
when you leave the stuff~
because we'd never sell it,
The tourist reluctantly handed over
the coin.
"Going to write about the excellence
/ Of American travel?" asked the fellow
passenger.
"Not l." responded the British tour

Don't forget the big parade.

A large number of voters returned
to the city from Cananea and other
points over Sunday. These men claim
to be residents of Tucson, though at
present they are employed outside of
the county. There were some rumOrs
that these woes would be challenged,
but this plan has been shown to be
futile. Many of the men have fam
lilies in the city and others property,
Their standing as residents can hardly
be questioned.
Loyal Democrats should light up the
line of march with colored fires.
The Aid Society of Trinity church
will meet at the residence of Mrs. H.
w. Fenner tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock.
The Young Woman's Christian Tenn
poance Union, and the Young Men S
Auxiliary thereto, will hold a meeting
at 1880 this evening at the Methodist
church. All who are interested in the
movement are invited to attend.
The case against Ezra c. Bartlett
for contempt was continued until
Wednesday.
The Territory will select her Dele
gate to Congress tomorrow, and the
