Fire Mysterious.

On last Friday night the rig at the

O'Clock, together with twotanks con-
tanning about 200 barrels Of oil, says
the West Union DerrIck-Herald.
When the well was left in the even
ing before after days cleaning out,
the fire was all extinguished and the
rig was supposed to be in safe condi-
ton. 1t is not known where the fire
originated as the flames mad claimed
their victim before they we're discov-
cred. 1t is supposed to be Of incen-
diary origin. The well is situated on
the top of a hill, with a woodland
skirting the hill below. Where the
oil flowed from the tanks down over
the hill side the trees are stripped Of
their foliage to the top and one tree
was burned until it fell. The drillers
had drawn the tools from the well and
left them hanging in the rig and they
were ruined by the heat. Everything
was burned or ruined except the boiler
which was located some distance from
the well. The well is owned by the
Wolf Summit Oil company Lynn S.
