GUFFEY.GALEY WELLS.
Co.lneident With Events at Pennington
Gas IL Found In Texas.

Word has been received from the oil
fields of Texas the Sour Lake district,
where the Guffey-Galey syndicate Is
operating drilling outfits, that
some big gas deposits have been found
there. Co-ncldent with this event
several pockets were encountered near
Pennington, north OF this city where
the same company is sinking for oil.
or the Texas strike writer from
that region says:
The biggest gas blowout that has
ever been seen In this field occurred
in the Guffey well near shoestring this
afternoon.
The well, which is being drilled by the
Guffey company on the Oliver lease
near the shoestrlng. Is down about 1000
feet, and has been cased IN with six
inch pipe. While the we'll was being
drilled In today the drill struck what
Is supposed TO be the biggest gas pocket
IN this field, and with a roar the we'll
commenced blowing out gas and has
been keeping II up steadily ever since,
The thousand feet OF casing that was
In the well, together with the top OF the
derrick was blown off and some OF the
men working at the we'll had close
calls A cloud OF gas, sand, stones.
etc. are still being shot high above the
derrick and the roar Of the well can
easily be heard two miles away,
The whole population turned out TO
witness the blowout and q big crowd
has been out all afternoon, The noise
Is 40 great at the well that men can't
hear each other shout and the eruption
shakes the ground for a radius OF 100
feet around OH men Say that this Is
the greatest blowout that has ever
been seen IN any field.
The well * IN practically new terri
tory, as Il IL on tho edge OF the prairie
and further west than any producing
well VI the Rhoestring Although this
particular hole is practically ruined be-
yond redemption, the discovery Of 30
much gas in new territory Is considered
as good indication Of good producing
territory

John HOyt'S
Problem
By ADELAIDE [. ROUSE
Copyright. 1898. BY Adelaide /. Rouse

MOHN HOYT was tired of sitting
in the gloomy Office on the sec
NB ond floor of Vane & Co.'s ware
house. where he filled the posi-
tons of bookkeeper by day and watch
man by night, He put aside the law
book over which he had been doing
and took his macintosh down from its
nail He was not on duty for some
time vet, and he ran lightly downstairs.
He walked toward the house Of his EN-
ployer, where he was a frequent Wis
itor, for Rosamond, Mr. Yane's hand
some daughter, was by no means
ayerse to the attentions of John Hoyt.
Young men of intelligence were scarce
in Millville, and John was college bred
and handsome withal.
John did not know why he walked in
that direction. for he was not dressed
for calling. He did not ring the bell,
but he stood ON the steps and for
moment looked into the drawing room.
The curtains had not been drawn, for
the gas was not yet lighted, but the
freight showed the interior of the
room and its one occupant. Rosamond
Vane sat before the piano, singing an
air from an opera. John had heard
it. 1t had been one of the few ex-
travagances he had allowed himself
during his college days.
Miss Vane wore an evening gown OF
some thin black material which set off
her pale golden hair John could not
see the face, but he knew it well-the
exquisitely cut features, the deep blue
eyes and the fair complexion. He
guessed that she was expecting him,
and he went up the steps and put out
his hand to touch the bell when he re-
membered his dress The water was
dripping from his macintosh, and his
rubber boots were spattered with mud.
He went slowly down the steps. Non
ii scordiar di me" sang Rosamond.
John pushed his hat over his eyes and
walked rapidly away.
"It is well that am not dressed for
calling" he said under his breath, "for
there is no telling what I might say.
When I am so tired of this jog trot
existence as am tonight it isn't safe
to-
He did not finish the sentence. He
walked on with rapid strides toward
the other end of the town, which was
built on hill He stopped two or
three times as if holding a parley with
himself; then went on again. Il shall
fight the battle out tonight and have
done with it. he said at last
The houses at this end of the town
We're cheap affairs, and John stopped
at one Of the poorest. He opened the
gate and went up the brick walk. The
house was all in darkness save for
light which burned in the little wing
which Kath called her study. Kath
never closed the blinds. She said she
left them open so the light could well
come him. John stepped softly to the
window The picture he saw was
much like the other one, for here, too,
a girl sat alone, singing. Unlike Rosa
mond Vane, Kath was small and plain,
her eyes were light gray, and her hair
