The South Penn Oil company,
which has extensive operations in
West Virginia, has given notice to
the lessons, contractors and en-
ployeS that no further develop
ments will be made in this State
for the present. This notice came
as surprise not only to the en-
ployes Of the company but the
land owners in the fields are also
nonplussed.
All developments now under
way will Of course, be completed
but no new wells will be started
at present. About u wells are
being sunk at present. When they
are completed the tool dressers
and drillers will be compelled to
seek employment in other fields.
The South Penn is controlled by
the Standard Oil company.

SOUTH PENN WILL
LAY OFF AWHILE

Although it is a fact that a
number Of wells have been
brought in they have all been
small, and as the West Virginia
field is the most expensive to op-
crate the South Penn officials
claim they have been losing money
for some time.
1t was thought by many that
the South Penn had contemplated
the enlargement Of its operations
in this field and had expected
good results. The majority Of the
men and contractors are leaving
for new fields in Kansas.
The above news item has been
published in the Wheeling and
other newspapers, but it is not
generally believed to be true.
The South Penn will be only too
glad to get more West Virginia
oil.

attempt to make any trouble for
them. In the meantime another

Jail from the Sheriff's pockets and
then the three started for the ne
gro s cell. On the way they met

moned to dress two wounds on
