Convincing Answer to L.
X. Bowens' Letter

The answer made by Clerk OF the
Peace Quigley this morning to the LETT
ter from j. M. Bowen. editor of the
Newark Ledger, which was printed I'm
the Sunday Star yesterday, clears Mr..
Quigley from an suspicion Of over
charging the county for the advertising
of the official ballot In 1902
Mr.. Quigley's' answer, however, put
the matter up to the Daily Republican
TO explain how 1t was that although the
Newark Ledger charged but $40 for ad-
vertislng the ballot the Republican
turned In a bill. which was paid. for
$780, the work having been given TO the
Newark Ledger through that paper.
The controversy has attracted con-
siderable attention. 1t was started sew
eral days ago when Mr. Quigley in a
statement showing what the advertis-
ing of the ballots cost, said in 1902 the
Newark Ledger was paid for that work.
In his letter to the Sunday star, Mr..
Bowen said he received but $40 for ad-
vertislng the ballot, and asked Mr.
Quigley what became Of the other sl39

Told Story to Barnard.

Carter appeared before Superintend-
ent Barnard in his Office here this
morning and told substantially the
same story as he had told before. The
negro who was on the tender OF the
engine was arrested early this morning
near Havre de Grace and is locked up
on a charge of trespass. Superintend-

robbery theory but thinks the man who
was riding on the express car platform
was a tramp who became cold and at
tempted TO enter the car i'm order to
warm up. He is uncertain whether
there was one or two men on the train.

crowd that ever attended race meet
here was present. it being estimated all
the way from 5000 to 5000.

making the investigation that they
have evidence that some Of the attend

money. So far no arrests have been
made but they may be made at any
time.

Five Points Oil Grill Will Start
 On Tuesday

Work on the Arizona Oil Co.'S. well near Five Points is progressing rap idly. Already the derrick, which is sixty-four feet and eight inches high. has been completed and rigged This derrick is a portable one and when this well is finished will likely be moy- ed and used in boring another well.
 A gasoline engine of 10-horse power has been secured from the Standard Iron Works and the job of boring the well will commence next Tuesday With the derrick which has been con structed. and over which floats an American flag. a well can be bored 2500 feet deep. the hole being six in- ches in diameter. However, it is thought by the prospectors that this well will reach oil at a depth of 200 or 800 feet at the most. Of course. this will have to pass through a stratum of water, but this will be cased out so as to cause no trouble with the oil
 This well in located on the property of H. J. Bennett and since he discov- cred oil on his property, several other people in the neighborhood have found the same on their lands. In his water well MT. Bennett found oil and had to dig another to obtain water to drink. However, the second contained more oil than the first and this led to the formation of a corporation to dig an oil well. There is no doubt that oil is in the land, but its quantity and depth are yet to be determined.
