Bore Deeper.

\ meeting of the board OF di-
rectors of the Winfield OIL Com
pany was held yesterday and il
was decided to resume work ON
the well at onre. Some days ago

to the outsider rs if the oil busi-
ness had gone dead. but it tleyel-
oped later that the company had
gwen the contractor q certain
time to get the drill to going ca.
xuit the job. and he quit. or this
is the report. The managers got
together yesterday and deci,ied' TO
resume work as soon as another
boring outfit can get here. A.
man has been sent to Beaumont
to secure an outfit and as soon as
it arrives the work will be started
again and pushed to completion.
1t will be learned if oil really ex-
lists at Winfield. There is little
doubt of the existence of oil here,
but until we bring in gusher
there is not much money in the
oil business and the Winn-
field Oil Company has too much
money in the to stop at
this stage of tie game. ALI the
stockholders will be glad to know
that the work IS to be resumed and
pushed through. There are some
business men at the head of it
who are determined to go the
limit and it is believed that With
In the next few weeks this will be
one of the greatest oil fields yet
discovered.

Timely discovery by Policemen White
and Simms thwarted n burglary ut the
restaurant and store Of d. B. Aumilier
on Fourth street at 8 o'clock Sunday
morning.
As they turned the st. Charles ho-
tel corner they saw man standing sem
tinel in front of the restaurant. aad
they went toward him. They found tile
door of the restaurant open and also
that OF the Jones s. Thomas barber shop
alongside.
There appears to have been four OF
them. The one outside evidently warned
the Others, who were ON the inside, when
the policemen came along, as the Of
GERS found everything quiet. They in,
qnired Of the fellow on the outside what
was going on in the barber shop. He
replied that the boys were having a
game. Simms concluded to see for him
self and entered. As he did SO the fell
lows on the inside ran out of the rear
door and escaped.
They evidently went into tho store
through the front door, and it is suppos-
ed that one Of Them had worked at the
restaurant and had key to the front
door. After entering they opened the
rear door and carried out practically
everything in the store. They also broke
open the cash register, but got no money.
The goods were all found stored away in
the barber shop.
The officers believe that two OF the
parties were james Beckwith and Cliff
ODE, both coiored, the latter Of whom
-once worked in the restaurant.
A search OF Beclswiths rooms WAS
Fnade later, but nothing 10 identity bin,
with the burglary was found. The sns-
pected persons have disappeared, and It is
believed they have left the city. At the
time OF the burglary an infant child of
