- Lee Furman, whose accidental death
recently took place near Lima, o., mem
ton of which was made in this paper last
week, lived six hours after the explosion
took place. The Bradford Era states that
he was lowering a squib into well,
when it suddenly exploded. He received
fracture of the jaw; his face was lacer-
ated; severe scalp wounds were inflicted;
his right arm and hand were fractured;
his front teeth were knocked out, and his
skull was broken. Yet he lived six
hours after receiving these injuries, and
before dying regained consciousness. His
mind was clear for brief period, during
which he called for his mother. Then
death ended his sufferings.
Tho fourth sand oil pool in Butler
county will be the center of attraction for
oil men this week, says the Titusville
Herald. The Phillips Oil and Gas COM
pany's test on the Berrickman farm, four
hundred feet southwest of the Mcbride
gusher, is the first new we'll to get the
sand, and is showing for gusher, hav-
ing started OFT at fourteen barrels an
hour. Several other wells are due this
week and meanwhile the original gusher
is holding up nicely, showing the pres
ence OF good sized pool from which it is
drawing its production. This weeks de-
velopments will have an important bear
ing in defining the limits of the pool, and
oil men would not be surprised if some
very good wells were brought in.

of the Tionests division was effected
some time ago by the election of Lin.
Kerr of Newmansville, as President, and
r. l.. Haslet and s. r. Maxwell, of Tio-
nesta, as Secretary and Treasurer, re-
spectively. The line is already in opera
ton in a large portion of Jefferson and
Clarion counties, and is completed as far
as Leeper and surroundings. 1t is ex-
pected the company will be doing busi-
ness here and in the vicinity within the
nexttwo or three months at least. This
will give Tionests three separate tele-
phone lines.
