Oil Flows as Woman Saw It in a

discovery that oil has seeped into an
abardoned gas well on the farm of

who was living there at the time the
gas well was drilled.
Eleven years ago. when drills were
being sunk in various parts of Wayne
county in the hope of striking gas.
Mrs. Brown, who was reputed to be a
clairvoyant, announced that in a vision
she had seen gas well blazing to a
great height on the farm. She said,
also. that she had gained the knowl-
edge through clairvoyancy that after
the flow Of gas had stopped petroleum
would be found. Mrs. Brown went so
far as to Indicate the very spot in the
old orchard where she had seen the
blazing gas well in her vision. and with
her own funds the well was drilled.
There was a remarkable flow of gas
when Trenton rock was struck, and
for many weeks the roar of escaping
gas could be heard for miles up and
down the river valley. Suddenly and
almost without warning the strong
flow ceased and the pressure decreased.

NEW COAL ROAD.
Smoky Hollow Coal King Will Build
From Avery to Maxon.

Abba, Jan Pei. T.. Evans, the
Smoky Hollow Coal King, will build
line of railroad from Avery to Max
on, distance of five miles. The sur
yey is now being made and work will
soon begin on the construction. The
new line will connect Evans private
coal road with the Iowa Central at
Maxon, the object Of which is to OBJ
tain an outlet to Minneapolis and the
far north over that line.
1t is rumored that some dissatisfac-
ton with the freight rates of the Bur-
lington system is responsible for the
coal kings decision to connect his
large system of mines with the Iowa
Central road.
John T. Evans is the largest indi-
vidual coal operator in Iowa, and has
always shipped his entire product
over the c., b. & @. route, and no
doubt the Iowa Central will offer
substantial inducements for part of
this large freight business,

TRAIN CREWS LAID OFF.
Disregard of semaphore Block Sig
nails Brings Grief to Trainmen.

Belle PLANE, Jan. 26,-Three Iowa
e. Missouri railway train crews have
been given sixty days lay-off because
their trains passed semaphore block
signal Saturday night which was
without a light. Following instruc'
tions from Chicago officials of the
Chicago & Milwaukee railroad, the
light in semaphore at Carnsforth, a
small town twelve miles south OF
here. where the Rock Island crosses
the Iowa e Missouri branch of the
Northwestern, was removed the other
night to see IL any engineer. nreman,
conductor or brakeman would notice
the fact that the signal light was
missing. Offfciais then secreted them
selves in the depot, where they could
watch for passing trains. Three
heavy freight trains, pulled by three
experienced engineers, and in charge
of three veteran conductors, went
whizzing past the semapnore The
fourth train came UP. The engine
and six cars went by the signal, when
Conductor w. A. McCune, who, for
many years, has run over that road,
noticed something was missing, ana
stopped the train. Brakeman Milo
Tyler also saw that no light shone
out ais usual. Mr.. McCune went to
the depot to notify the operator, as
the trainmen's regulations demand,
when he was met by an official, who
explained the ruse.
