SCOTT & BOVINE, Chemists,
4oo-4rs Pearl Street, II New fo'A'

ed in putting up their pumping
plant, but will commence work on IL
this week.
A we'll was shot on A. Cochran's
farm, six miles southeast of town
Thursday. 1t proved to be good
oiler.
Monday evening, - Kent, who is
employed by the Penn Oil Producing
Go. went to the southeast part OF
town where Jyckson & Eastman
were spudding in, and while watch
ing the operation the spudding line
broke and it is supposed the spuddlng
shoe struck him on the back Of the
head and shoulder, cutting a bad cash
in the scalp which required tlve
stitches to close up, and breaking ms
shoulder blade. He was brought up
TO Capt. Brunson's residence and his
wounds dressed and at last reports he
was getting along as well as could be
expected. Mr.. Kent has made many
friends while in our city who Will
hope for his speedy recovery.
Mon lay forenoon Frank Tappan,
who works at the Webster Refinery,
slipped and fell from the top OF a
tank car and broke two ribs and
otherwise bruised himself. He is a
young, strong and vigorous man, ana
Will no doubt recover from his in
juries rapidly, but it will confine him
to his room for several days. We nope
to soon see him out again.
The cut in the price Of oil within a
few days, Of Is cents per barrel,
bringing Humboldt crude oil down TO
81 cents per barrel, has caused con-
sternation among the oil companies
of Kansas. 1t is hard to conjecture
what the Standard s idea is in making
this cut, There are various reasons
given by operators, but thew are only
guess work, as no one knows but
the Sta ndard people. Most people
think IL price will 60 up again when
the Kar saS City pipe line Is cOmplet-
ed. ve,opment will be checked to a
considt rable extent until the price Is
BETTER
The Favenwood Oil and Gas Com
pany g t a fine Oiler Sunday, three
miles southeast Of town. 1t was S52
feet deep and had % feet OF pay sand.
This we'll is near the st, Joseph and
Kansas holdings.
The st. Joseph and Kansas Oil and
Gas Company brought in another fine
oil we'll on the Gerken lease. The
we'll has % feet of pay sand. This
company is surely having big success
n the oil field, three miles east of
jOwp.
Tie Garnet papers are full of oil
lews of local interest just now. Some
rood wells have been found IN that
ect ion and everybody has the oil fever.
Il is good fever to have but the
rood people of Anderson county want
o beware Of wildcat companies.
There may be none in that field, but
hey have worked things in the field
iouth Of the Humboldt field to the
inish OF many mans hard earned
dollars. We are glad Garnett Is going
% be benefited by oil and gas for they
lave been spending lots Of money in
)ast years trying to find that which
.reases the wheels of commerce.
The Webster Refinery got to work
gain this week. The works were
hut down for ten days They snip
,ed out two cars Of refined oil Satur-
lay, and will make another big ship
nent soon.
VIM. Saving has commenced drilling
n the A. B. Johnson farm, three
niles east of town. He is drilling
or the Humboldt National Oil and
ias Company. This company has one
iue we'll on that lease, drilled several
months ago.
]. It. Cusack and his family, Of
JAMESTOWN, Tenn, were here last
week. Mr.. Cusack is an old oil opera
or, having been in the business for 40
ears. He has been in Kansas about
light months and has been drilling
wells near Urbana. He has leased
ONE land near Mt. Ida, in Anderson
ounty, and will be drilling there
DON. Mr.. Cusack thinks the Hum
,oldt field is good one and we hope |
lie will get hold Of some good leases
lere and try his luck 10 this field.
The Manhatten Co. has brought in
md shot its third we'll on the Hallegan
ease, in the edCe of WoodSon county. |
