The steamship, on her regular trip
from Galveston, ran into an Immense
field of crude petroleum $50 miles

morning. The surface of the water
was bubbling with oil, which was
apparently rising from the bottom

The blackness extended In circle
from the center of the city. the radius
being a district of several miles. The
duration was over an hour. Unusual
atmospheric conditions, aggravated by
smoke, were generally accepted as the
cause.
The phenomenon was accompanied
by a fall of snow, while a pail OF iru-
penetrable appearing sable cloud en-
veloped all thoroughfares and build

Street cars and wagon traffic was
considerably hampered. Even greater
difficulty was encountered by the

Ten thousand acres or land has been

one of the chief rules is declared to be
that no one shall hold more than ten
shares of stock. the par value of which
is 81 per share.
With the money thus gathered,
which may be increased by assess
