Governor Bailey named L. e. Coun-
tryman to fill the vacancy in the office
of Probate Judge, caused by the death
of John BiSSell. The appointment
seems to meet general approval. Mr..
Countryman is well known in politi-
cal and official circles. He has been
a strong republican worker ever since
his residence in the county, having
served for several years as a
member of the central committee.
He received the republican nomina-
tion for the office of County Superin-
tendent but was defeated with others
of the ticket, during the days of popu-
list rule.
When Mr.. Cheadle entered the Of
flee of Treasurer, Mr.. Countryman
became his deputy, and made the race
for that office unsuccesSfully in the
convention last fall
Mr.. Countryman was qualified last
Saturday and assumed control Of the
office at once.

RATION OIL NEWS.

The Gazette says;
The new oil well is to be drilled on one
of the locations made by Mr.. Jones, the
California petroleumologist, who locates
oil and never makes a mistake; OF rather his
instrument never fails to find the OIL and
designate where it is not.
The New Mexico Oil and Gas company
propose to save the reputation of our oil
field by avoiding dry wells and heavy un
necessary expense drilling dry wells, by
having the oil deposits located before drill
ing any more wells. Biologists are all
right in their line, but they have cost oil
men millions. Mr., Jones don't only tell
you in what country you will find the oil,
but the spot where to drill to find it, and
that is Just what oil companies have been
looking for. Some people say that Jones
cannot locate oil; others that the world
stands still. This is progressive age and
it is hardly safe to dispute the possibilities
of any invention. Mr.. Jones invented a
affinity for oil, and it is pronounced too
good to believe. Why? 1t is not as won
derful as the wireless telephone, and will
do us infinitely more good if we will allow
ourselves to be benefited by it, Why turn
down an opportunity which may be your
last? II the company has good luck,
then the stock will be worth big money.
The one cent stock will probably be taken
off sale in ten or twelve days.
The Hon. Judge Booth and Charles
Burns have just come from Los Angeles and
say that Mr.. Jones has wrought wonder
full revolution in the oil industry there by
locating OIL thereby avoiding dry holes and
large expense. They consider him infal-
lible as to oil locating, claiming that be
never makes mistakes in locating OIL This
is very gratifying to our people who have
invested in oil stock, as they must feel Sc
cure in their investment.
We will surely have a boom here soon
as the NewMeXico Oil and Gas company are
determined to push the development of the
oil locations to a quick finish. We trus
that everybody is in sympathy with the
enterprise and that our anticipatons vii
be realized.
The company is moving the machinery
to one of Jones locations, where he de
clares oil will be found in paying quantity
The drill will probably be started Satur
! day.

its release, Harwell refusing to deliver or
turn it over TO any other than g. M. Gath
ther under whose authority he held posses
sion, and with whom he desired a settle
ment of account, Gather being indebted to
him
Following his release, Harwell had
young Gather arrested under the charge
of malicious prosecution. Gathers attor-
ney waived jurisdiction and the Court sus-
tanned him. Gather then arrested Har-
we'll on warrant which had in the mean
time arrived from Valencia county pur-
porting to have been made by himself but
dated some days after he had left the county.
Sheriff Baca had also forwarded him
deputyshlp which came the same mail, en-
abing him to take Harwell on to Las Lu-
mas there to try him among confederates
who we're strangers to Harwell
AS to Gather being thrown into Jail that
is not true, he was no nearer the Jail than
Baxter Hotel where he could have every
accommodation that he wanted to pay for
Nobody here however, who learned any
thing about the circumstances of the case
seemed to doubt that Harwel had a good
case against Gather for malicious prosecu-
ton. A letter turned over to the officers
by Harwell from John S. Good 4 Co.. re-
commencing him to W. s. Hopewell, of the
Santa Fe Central, states that Harwell was
foreman OF the work in Good & Companys
granding camps on the FL Paso- Rock Is
land railroad for two years, and that he
was competent and thoroughly reliable
man. Now, it is Good & Co. VS.. Gather.
as to Harwells character
Now, again, if Harwel had pleaded
guilty as stated, before committing mag
istrate, under what provision of law could
he, or would he have wanted to waive ex-
amination2 This makes one think it pos
| sible that an El Paso News reporter has
been seen, and that neither he nor Gather
are lawyers
AS to the past records of these people
! we know nothing and what we have said
in the foregoing is taken from facts deduced
here in this court. However, both we're
treated with the greatest fairness by the
people of White Oaks, our officers and our
Court, and the whole matter will be
brought out when final hearing is had in
the case. Time will then remain to de
fame character through the columns of FL
