The Bueno-Ventura Oil and Gas COM
pany has been organized for the pur-
pose of sinking wells for the produc-
ton of OIL It's funds will all be used
to that end. Every stakeholder will
receive the same consideration, and
the dividends will be paid according to
amount invested. Mr. J. G. McNerney
is president of the company. Col. j.
H. McClay, who is now serving his
third term as a member of the Ne
braska legislature from Lancaster
Icounty is secretary and treasurer, and
Col. F.. D. Eager, of The Independent,
is vice president. Before taking any
part in the organization of the COM
pany or opening the columns of The
Independent for it's advertising Col.
Eager made trip through the Kan
sas oil fields and visited and inspected
thoroughly the Bueno-Ventura Oil and
Gas Company's property and its sur
|roundings. He was convinced that the
opportunity for producing oil upon this
land was excellent and became an Of
ficer in the company. Independent
readers who wish to invest may be
sure that their interests will be care
fully guarded and protected in every
way.
Only sufficient stock will be sold to
put down the wells and procure the
necessary pumps and storage tanks
No construction work will be COM
menced until there is sufficient money
in the treasury to carry it to compile
ton. Nearly two-thirds of the amount
necessary is now on hand. When the
sinking of the wells begins the stock
will be taken off the market. None
will be sold after that. This is to pre-
vent anyone from buying the stock at
a low figure after striking oil. Every
provision has been taken to protect
the small investor and secure to him
his rightful share of the profits. The
Independent believes this stock is as
good a speculative investment as can
be found in the oil fields.

POWELL IN JAIL As
RESULT OF KILLING.
Arrest is Made by County
Coroner.
SELF DEFENSE WAS ALLEGED
BY Powell at Inquest for Killing of His
Brother Thomas PoweII-Said Fight
Resulted Over Former Feud-Shot
in Back of Head.

Powell was arrested at o'clock yes
terdaY morning by County Coroner
Duekworth and lodged in Jail here,
pending an Investigation by the grand
jury for the killing of his brother, Tom
Powell, the night before, at their home
just west of the city
The story of the homicide was told
in the Times Recorder yesterday.
Coroner Duckworth made an inves-
tigation of the killing Wednesday night
and, as the result of such inquiry, de.
cided to hold young Powell for the
grand jury sitting yesterday.
The tragedy has been very generally
discussed here for two days, and many
theories were advanced as to the cause
actuating the killing. Powell will set
up the plea of self defense.
In his statement before the coroner,
according TO the latter, he and his
brother, Tom, had fight on the porch
of their little home. It was dark, and
there were no witnesses to the tragedy.
Meigs Powell declares that Tom at
tempted to stab him.
The dead man, Meigs Powell SAID,
welded razor, or knife.
Coroner Duckworth states that no
razor was found upon the deceased. A
closed pocket knife was found in his
| trousers pocket.
The fatal bullet from Powelrs pistol
struck his brother directly in the back
of the head and, passing entirely
through it. was lost near the forehead.
DR.. B. T. Wise probed for the ball but
failed to locate it. according to the
coroner's statement
Meigs Powell, the coroner said, free
~ admitted the killing, which he said
was the result of an old grudge. He
also claimed self defense.
Mrs. Powell, wife of the deceased,
also testified before the coroner regard
ing the weapon, razor or knife, stating,
Coroner Duckworth said, that she shut
it up and then put 1T back in her hus-
bands pocket. She did not witness the
killing of Tom Powell
The grand jury yesterday afternoon
investigated the case and returned an
indictment charging Meigs Powell with
murder. Powell, as stated, has been
arrested and is in Jail.

FUN IN THEM FlecgRs
Exhibit of Wax Works Entertain .
riost


Despite the rain last night Madam
Jarley's wax fggers" were carried to
the city hall where great crowd waited
to greet her and see the familiar human
caricatures made of selected begun
wax and really true to life. Mad
am farley contracted cold, due
to wet feet, and could not appear
in person but her nephew, Mr.. J. E
Mathis, showed "the fggers" all right
and told the truth about them, as
she would have done. After the
"fggers" had been busted of bit the
spectators admired them, and in the fig
ger of Teddy Roosevelt were surprised
at the marked resemblance to DR.. r E
Cato. Old George Washington was as
much like Judge Littlej ohm as two bot
ties of Schlitz beer, while Make Dudley
as a steam calliope was whole circus
parade. Dear Little Red Riding Hood
bore a striking resemblance to Mrs.
James Taylor. Mrs. O. o. Niles made a
charming Queen Dido, while Miss Sa-
rah Cobb was the relncarnatl0n OF
Mother Goose of salnted memory.
Everybody said that Madam Patti look
cd as much like Johnnie Hardy as two
warts, but.the illusion was dispelled
when the works went off and the drat-
ted figure tried to sing. There were
lots of other figgers, and Mrs. Jarley's
show was one of the best of bazaar week.
