OIL RIG,
Tanks and Oil Destroyed by Fire Of
Mysterious Origin.

Tanks and Oil Destroyed by Fire Of
Mysterious Origin.
Friday night the rig at the Pig
gin Run we'll burned about two
O'Clock, together with two tanks
containing about 200 barrels of oil.
When the we'll was left in the eve'
ming before after days cleaning
out, the fire was all extingutshed
and the rig was supposed to be In a
safe condition. 1t Is not known
where the fire originated. 1t IS
supposed to be of incendiary origin
The we'll Is situated on the top OF
a bill. Where the oil flowed from
the tanks down over the hill side
the trees are stripped OF their foil
age to the top and one tree was
burned till it fell. The dri!lers had
drawn the tools from the we'll 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 we'll. The
we'll Is owned by the Wolf Summit
Oil company.-Salem Leader.

Quite Warm.

A Missouri editor speaks Of the
weather In that county as follows:
cit has been so hot and dry
down here In Missouri that the
wagons go around with their
tongues out and Ice has to be
soaked all night in water to make
lemonade. The cattle kick up so
much dust In the beds OF the creeks
that the water melons on the bot
toms look like big chunks of dirt.
A spark from an engine set fire to
a farmers pond and half carload
of bullfrogs were burned before
the flames could be extinguished,
and the ground was so hard and
dry that the craw6sh holes In the
low places were pulled up and sold
for gas pipes; even the horns were
melted eff the cattle Oh It's sim
ply hot.

The Washington times., 1902-05-11

New Yorker was impelled TO inquire
where and how the Washington woman
obtained it, She was informed coldly that
it was gift from Admiral Higginson, and
that il was made upon his ship.
Later in the season a feet OF the very
first water anchored off the coast of Nan
tucket and there was flutter among girls
and women of the summer colony in an
ticipation of the officers. The New Yorker
learned that Admiral Higginson was
in command. and upon the very day that
his ship cast anchor she dispatched note
to that gentleman begging for blouse
similar to that possessed by her dear
friend, Mrs. b, from Washington" The
note was most automatically and daintily
set forth: the kind Becky Sharp would
have written; and in due time she received
the blouse and was correspondiIgly
happy.
About the same time the Washington
woman received a call from Admiral Hig
ginson, who, in the course OF conversa
tion, alluded to the request that had been
made by and granted to the Washington
woman's dear friend" from New York.

and Mrs. B asked the girls TO come out

the automobile gals pronounced her clam

heavier-they piled into the automobile

They did so. and were rather amazed TO
find several other bachelors present and
two married women. Presently they were
asked into the dining room and treated
to a chafing dish repast of sweetbreads
and mushrooms. Only imagine how

had one royal afternoon, and they never
