CAPITAL CONTENDS FOR OIL.
Eastern andl Chicago Money combats
for Possession of Indiana Land.

Muncie, Ind, Feb. S.-The fight for
local oil lands continues between Chi
cago and New York capitalists. The
owners of good territory are increasing
the prices, but this is being met by the
operators who are DESTROYS of gaining
possession at almost any price. New
York and Chicago capitalists are nego-
tiating for the purchase of the entire
holdings of a local company which has
more than two dozen wells pumping.
1t is claimed that the deal was practic-
ally settled in favor of the fasteners,
when the windy city men appeared and
offered a greater amount. The terrl-
tory is that of the Ward Oil Company
of this county. The company has leas-
es covering more than 300 acres OF
promising territory, besides the por-
ton developed. 1t is said that the last
offer of the Chicago men was $lOO,OO0.
The New York spectators were ne
gotiating for the property owned by the
Reed Oil Company here last week,
when Edward Y. Ramage & Son, of
Oil City, Pa, came in and purchased
the entire holdings for $56,0O0 cash.

him having been found up to this hour.
The list of known dead:
William Pollitt, Jr in charge OF the
magazine, single, aged 25, blown to
atoms.
Matthew Kaskala, miner, blown to
pieces.
Peter Kulpa, miner. suffocated,
aged 35, married, leaves a wife and
three children.
AS soon as the explosion occurred
the mining officials organized a rescue
party who penetrated the scene OF the
catastrophe, by descending into shaft
No. 1, and crossing over thru the dratt
on one of the lower levels. The scene
beggars description.
The terrible force of the explosion
tore out plates in shaft No. at the
sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth levies,
twisted the ship rails and tore them
from the stringers and raised havoc
in general.
The relief party succeeded in rescu-
ing several men who were taken to the
surface as soon as possible, where they
were revived in the open air. Six
members of the rescue party succumb-
ed to the deadly gases and fumes and
were taken to the mouth of the shaft,
and resuscitated. Fortunately only
two miners and a party of three tram
mers were working on the level at
which the dynamite was stored when
the explosion occurred, or otherwise
the list of dead and manned would be
large. While no trace of Politt and
Kaskala has been found so far, it is
impossible they could have survived
the terrible blast. as they were in the
immediate vicinity. The only body re-
covered is that of Kulpa, who was sut-
located by the poisonous gases.
The Osceola Consolidated Mining
Company will suffer a large loss, as it
will be impossible to resume operations
at that point for some time. Repairs
will be costly, and the loss of produc-
ton will be considerable, as No. shaft
was shipping upwards of 1,2O0 tons of
copper dock daily. The explosion tore
the rails on which the ships run from
the stringers in the shaft way, bending
and twisting them into every conceiy-
able form. The damage extends to
the surface 500 feet from the point
aft which the explosion occurred, AMI
the shaft house, covering the mouth
of the opening, was damaged. The rock
house adjoining also suffered from the
terrific force of the explosion.

ARE COWS. in A TRUST?
Butter Prices Advance, While Stale

Chicago, Feb. Snow it is the cows
that won't give down. In sympathy
with the overworked hens, or perhaps
seeing how easily the country cackler
has forced the city consumer to pay
her price, the cows are going on a
strike. Scarcity in the South Water
street butter supply is beginning to be
felt keenly and while the scanty re-
ceipts show Improvement in quality, in
quantity they are shrinking. Cream
ery butter costs the retailer from 301s

in the dairy districts continues, the
price will keep pace with that Of eggs

that Turkey, desiring new loan, OF

the loan. Thereafter "a syndicate OF
German banks undertook to float a
loan and arrange with the Krupps to
