MAI. OGDEN'S GRAVE.
It Marks the Geographical Center
of the United States.
Shaft Erected TO the Memory of 3
Brave Army Ofncer Is Proof of the
Fact That Truth Is Stranger
Than Fiction.

The geographical center of the
United States is on a high point of land
in the public reservation at Fort Riley,
Kan. 1t is marked by large mOnu-
ment, erected in memory of an officer
in the regular army, Maj. Edmund
Ogden, L. 5. A. who died near this fort.
The monument was erected by Jo-
seph o. Sawyer, the father of DIR. +. D.
Sawyer, now a resident of Pico Heights,
Los Angeles, who was named for the
major several years prior to his death.
Between Maj. Ogden and j. o. Saw
yer there existed a warm friendship
which lasted through many years.
Back in the SOS Mr. Sawyer, who was
a noted civil engineer. had a contract
with the government to build wagon
road between Fort Riley and Santa Fe,
\. NJ. Mai. Ogden was in command of
the government troops commissioned
10 guard the road builders, for Indians
were plentiful and hostile to the whites
in those days, but Il far more to be

and Mai. Ogden was one Of the first
To succumb to the disease. After his
death the army surgeons became panic
stricken and ran away. All of the COM
missioned officers and their wives died
and at one time the death rate reached
as high as 60 in one day. Mr.. Sawyer
took complete charge of the expedi-
tion. becoming doctor, nurse and com
mander of the troops, some of which
had already mutinied. Very little was
known in those days about the treat
ment of the disease; about all they
could do was to deal out quinine; and
after a long fight the scourge died out,
leaving but a mere handful Of men to
return to the fort.

a midnight battle with giant lob
steT, armed with powerful claws and
worked up TO good lighting trim, was
fought by Charles McYane, fisherman
and resident of Long Island, four
miles from Portland, Me, in CascOe
bay.
Mr.. McVane had been fishing all
day with Indifferent success and had
decided to pull up and start for
shore, so he isosened the sail of his
L6-foot dory, and. with freshening
breeze from the eastward behind him,
came bowling in from the cod
ledges As he neared Ram island,
which is a barren strip of land with
bold, rocky shores and entirely de-
void of trees, he spied a large flock
of sea duck huddled together in one
of the tiny coves that run up into
the shores of the island. McNane is
an enthusiastic sportsman as well as
fisherman. and the sight of the ducks
had aroused his sporting instincts
and made him forget the cheerful

ardent did this duck hunter become
in the pursuit of his game that he
was surrounded by the chilly gloom
of au April night almost before he
knew it. The wind, too, was becOm-
ing decidedly more boisterous.
McVane is a man Of action. With
a sweeping glance at sea~and sky, and
not even stopping TO pick up the last
duck he had shot, he turned his
boats bow toward the island and
beached it well up on a strip of sand
on the lee shore, but despite all his
precautions and his past experiences
the fisherman made one bad mistake
He neglected to pull his dOry out of
the reach of the highest tides.

when he was suddenly awakened by
an icy cold stream of water tTickling
under him and running up his trou-
sers legs. Scarcely had he regained
his senses when this fOrerunner of
the deluge was followed by mighty
onrush of water that took him, his
boat, and everything else in its way
pounding up the beach. Such was the
force of the wave that heavy piece
of driftwood was hurled against Nc
Vane's head with sufficient force to
render him unconscious for a few
seconds.
When he recovered he was lying
high and dry on the beach, but he
had a horrible choking sensation,
and his neck and throat felt as
though clasped in a vice. Clutching
with his hand he grasped the hard,
cold shell of a monster lobster. He
seized the claw that gripped his
throat and tried to break its hold,

though he moved them slightly, he
was yet too weak to do anything
more For fully five minutes the

one to release himself, the other to
maintain its hold.

PRESSURE
FROM CREvASES


Artesian water has been struck at the
Lewiston Oil 4 Gas Company's we'll
three miles east Of the city. Yesterday
afternoon the phenomena first occurred.
A sudden gush Of water flooded the well
house thoroughly wetting the men who
were operating the drill. This was fol-
lowed in minute by heavier flow, a
full eight inch stream gushed from the
pipes to the height Of three or four feet,
carrying fully 6fty barrels Of water in the
upheaval. The water then subsided and
since then at intervals the same phenom.
ena appears. As the tools are lowered,
turned or raised, the water flows out with
periodic spurts. The drillers and those
who have made careful study Of the
formation say that the irregular action il
due to the fact that the drill IL now In
basalt filled with large crcvasses and that
an immense pressure below the basast is
forcing the water through the crcvasscs.
A. the fiow is disturbed by the drill the
water Is forced 10 the surface and when
the obstruction passes the crevasse the
water again continues IN its subterranean
flow.
| l.. A. Porter, who has studied the
phenomena since il began yesterday,
estimates that IL the crevasses were shut
off below that the flow would he 600 to
800 gallons per minute. OIL seepage IL
indicated in all the wa.er thrown from
the we'll. The water is covered with nm
oil scum AZ soon as il settles after each
gush from below.
Since the new tools came last week the
dtillers have been making steady prog
ress at the we'll. The depth at.
tained is now little more than 600
feet. The drill IN just about
at sea level, point at which several ex-
perts have predicted some wonderful re-.
rults. From present indications the
basalt cap is about pierced and below
that II is evident there will be heavy
artesian flow with An enormous pressure.
Were this all the matter would be Of i'm
mense importance to Lewiston and .he
| immediate country but the oil seepagc
continues 10 increase and these indica-
tons point TO oil pockets below the basalt.
The strike will give new impetus to the
drilling operations. Last week several
| large blocks OF the stock were sold, 5000
being paid in at one time for the stock.
| MIR. Porter states that telephone orders
for stock haye been coming into his
/ place all day and that the drillers .thenn-
selves have just subscribed to big block
of the stock. Many people have driven
ont to the we'll today to witness the Gu
rious phenomena and be convinced Of the
! fact that artesian water for Lewiston val
| ley is now an assured fact. To test the
pressure Of the artesian flow the company
has sent for a rubber wall pocket to lower
into the well and shut of the crevasse
| flow. The water will then all he forced
to the surface and the pressure deter.
mined. Greater results are expected
