the present anthropoid apes, and this
is still occasionally retained

A NERvY WELL SHOOTER
Risked His Life by Making Deeper a
Roaring Gasser.v

Independence, Kan, Dec. %
Shooter John Larkin took his life in
his hands for q few hours and toyed
with it in the face of death in a most
tantalizing manner.
Larkin is a well known shooter, gen
orally regarded as a careful and com
petent man. The Matson Oil company
sent for shooter to come out from
BartlesVille to shoot a well on Usage
lot So The shooter heard the roar
of escaping gas long before he reached
the lease. When he was told that was
the we'll it was desired to have shot, he
shook his head. mot L" he declared,
as he drove away. Then Larkin was
sent for, and when he was told the we'll
the company wished shot he got

Piled: "Wen, L didn't drive out here
for nothing. I'll just show you that
that we'll can be shot"
He secured two twenty-quart shells
and attached heavy weight or anchor
and attempted to insert them into the
hole. The pressure of the gas was so
great he was compelled TO summon
help. The shell was finally forced into
the casing and securely fastened to the
casing head.
At that time the well was flowing at
the rate of los barrels a day and it
was only a few minutes until the
shooter looked as if someone had
ducked him into tank of oil. The
gas was hurting sand and pebbles out
of the hole and these cut Larkin's
hands until they bled. 1t was cold. be-

gan to sink. Forty quarts and the line
was taut- A little more weight was adj
ded and the shot lowered into the hole.
It had reached a depth of several
hundred feet when it stopped. The gas
would not permit it to descend any
further into the hole. Then it was
drawn out and a pipe plugged with
sand was attached to it, and again it
was lowered, this time to the bottom.
AS soon as it struck bottom and the
line was released, the gas hurled the
1000 feet of line out of the hole like so
much tissue paper. It struck the crown
pully block andnetworked itself through
the derrick. Finally the well was
shot and Larkin lives to tell the tale
