-Keverline Bros, on the John. Wray
farm. about midway between Vowinckle
and North Pine Grove, Clarion county,
brought in what is looked upon as one OF
the best wells ever struck in that secti n.
After the drill had gone about seven feet
into the sand the well began to flow, and
having but one tank at hand it was found
necessary to dam up a small ravine TO
save the oil. A present they have three
good sized tanks, all of which are full and
yet the well continues TO flow. Claud
Hepler of this place has been working on
the we'll, and says the.new strike has Gre
ated considerable stir in the vicinity.
There are no other developments within
a mile of this well.
"A lawyer charges a man $40 for ten
minu,es' conversation, says an exchange,
and the man insists on paying it. A doc

enough?" An undertaken conducts a
funeral and charges 500 and he is Just

Last Friday night about 10 O'clock, as
James Brandon was returning home
from his work. and when within a few
rods of his home near Salina, Venango
county. he was met by two masked men
who, at the point of revolyers, ordered
him to "hold up his hands" Instead he
whipped out revolver which he held in
his overcoat pocket and blazed away.
One of the men went down and his com
panion ran to him, while Brandon hur-
riedly left the scene and aroused his
neighbors. When they came to the place
where the trouble ensued they found the
would. be robbers had made good their
escape, but had left sufficient evidences
of blood to show that Brandon's aim had
taken effect. They followed the trail for
some distance but finally lost all trace of
the highwaymen. That same night,
about midnight, Or. Blair, of Franklin
was called upon to extract a bullet from
the scalp of a man who says he came by
his wound through an attack by n man
while returning to his home near Rocky
Grove, suburb OF Franklis. No arrests
had been made at last accounts, but the
county detective is at work on the case.
