Washington G. II. Greatly Excited
Over Oil Prospects.--xenia
Electric Light Co. Must
Use Insulated Wires.
ENFORCING THE LAW.

In the case of the city of Xenia vs..
the Peoples Gas & Electric Light Co.,
Judge Middleton of Urbana, has rem
dered an opinion. In the case enjoin-
ing the company from the use of nom
insulated wires and asking tor an
order requiring the company to re-
move all wires not insulated. Judge
Middleton says that the testimony
shows that such wires had been used
and was being used on several streets,
and in many cases where connections
we're made the wires were left bare.
The temporary restraining order
was therefore made perpetual and
the time for removal or repair of the
wires is left to the agreement of the
parties, and If the parties are unable
to agree, Judge Middleton will fix the
time.-Xenia Gazette.
AN OIL BOOM.
As the drill goes deeper the pros
pects continue to brighten for oil in
our vicinity. The first two wells now
drilling, both show oil in paying quan.
titles. The we'll at Washington G. H.
has found two pay sands, with a good
showing of the third; but owing to the
great pressure of salt water, the oil
cannot get to the top, but we are re-
liably informed by oil men that when
the salt water is exhausted it will
make good paying we'll.
The well now drilling at Buena
Vista found fine lubricating oil in
the Clinton sand at depth of 800 feet.
This shows beyond doubt that some
where in our county there is shallow
field as we'll as being fine indication
of a producing well in the Trenton.
The Trenton alone showing 3 pays.
Oil experts have repeatedly said that
near these wells, according to all for
mer records, there is bound to be a
producing field. A Sample of the oil
from the Buena Vista well was
brought to the Cherry Hotel yester-
day, which caused a great deal of ex-
citement in the oil circles. The hotel
lobby was crowded all day with inter
ested citizens, and oil men from Park.

DECISIONS REGARDING
GAME OUT OF SEASON.
Several Courts Regard 1t as Illegal
to Serve During Close Season.

Several Courts Regard 1t as Illegal
to Serve During Close Season.
In several of the state courts ie-
cisions have been handed down holding
that it is in violation of the law to
serve game which is out of season,
even though it is imported from an
other state. In some of the states in
question, there are laws especially aim
ed at this practice.
Only recently a decision was handed
down by Judge Kellogg of the New
York supreme bench, holding that the
law prohibiting importing game from
another state during the close season
in the state into which the importation
was made, was illegal The ground
given was that it conflicted with the
laws of interstate commerce. In this
case fish had been imported from Can
ada by proprietors of a hotel.
A decision directly opposite is given
in a Connecticut case in one of the
United States courts. In this case
game had been imported from a neigh
boring state regularly and a law was
passed making this unlawful. The law
was tested as to it's constitutionality
and the decision of the federal judge
upheld the legality of the law.
In Oregon it has been held unlawful
to hold, sell, or serve, game out of sea-
son, even though the game is
imported from state in which it is
in season.
In view of the contention of the game
warden in the matter of the quail
served at the Hibernian banquet, these
decisions are of interest.

BETTER WITH MORTARS
THAN WITH RIFLE GUNS.
Men Made Good Showing mt Practice
on Moving Targets.

on Moving Targets.
Under orders from Col. James B.
Quinn, the mortar pits at Fort Screven
are being leveled. When this has been
completed the mortars can be fired
with even greater accuracy than at
present.
An interesting fact which developed
at the last target practice was that
the men made a better showing in
shooting at a moving target with the
mortars than they did with the 12-inch
rifle guns. When firing the mortars
the men cannot see the target but
fire according to a plot made of it's po-
sition by others. With the rifle gun
the target can be seen, and yet the
mortar has proven more accurate.
