Standard OIL Plant mt Caney Has
Been Burning n Week.
CANEY, Kan, March 5.-The gas
well of the New York Oil and Gas
company said to he Standard Oil
corporation, is burning more furiously
than ever and it's roar can be heard
for miles. The well Is four and half
miles southeast of Cancy, in the Chero-
kee Nation, and has been blazing since
Fob. 29, when it was struck by light
ming.
The flames reach more than $50 feet
in the air and consume, it is esti-
mated, 150,OO0,00O cubic feet of gas
per day. The mouth of the well Is
eight feet in diameter and the bore of
the well is being increased by the ex-
pulsion Of rocks, which are thrown
high into the air.
A rock weighing twenty pounds shot
from the well descended 1000 feet
away. Efforts to smother the fire with
steam have failed completely. and the
plan of closing the well with hood
has not proved feasible.

Tavernola, built on the perpendicular
cliffs above Lake Iseo, In the province

their escape. One fisherman was kill

tempted to ascend only to be driven
back with scorched hair and blisteTed
hands.
A cry from the crowd to the right
attracted the attention of firemen and
spectators, and all held their breath,
as little old man was seen, climbing.
with the agility Of a cat, the galvan-
lied waterspout on the corner OF the
building. Reaching the top and grasp
ing the cornice, he rapidly worked
himself along until he was directly
over the open window. He must have
had a wonderfully correct eye. for as
he seemed to expect, his left foot
reached just 10 the top OF the scaling
ladder below him. Placing his foot
firmly upon the slight support. he re-
leased fret ono hand and then the
other, sliding them along the rough
brick side OF the building, as If
grasping an imaginary rope. eau
tiously lowering himself 20 a STOPPING
position, he suddenly threw himself
inside the open window. as the ladder,
burned near the middle, fell to the
ground With a crash With scarce a
moments loss Of time he reappeared
and piled several thick books upon the
window sill. Then with the child
strapped tightly upon HIS back, he bal
anced carefully upon these, reached
MP and again grasped the cornice. The
firemen at once realized what a des-
perate plan he was about to attempt
and quickly placed another ladder just
around the corner Of the building. not
yet reached by the flames. Slowly and
carefully the old man. with his pre-
cious burden clinging 70 his shoulders
worked his way along the insecure
gutter. HIS progress at times painfully
retarded and the distance seemed
great Would he beat the flames in
the race? Would he be able 10 hold
out, encumbered as he was? The great
crowd below held IT'S breath Finally
he clutched the projection at the cor.
ner and swung his feet upon the
rounds OF the ladder. Long tongues
OF fire leaped from the room he had ID
lately occupied and seemed to be strily
ing at the rescuer and the rescued. IN
vicious though impotent fury. but
strong and willing hands met and re
lieved the old man OF his burden and

testant showed no little chagrin. for
this had been his favorite exhibition.
which none Of his associates had been
able to accomplish.
Inc old fellow continued unconcern-
eddy: Now II IL were a trial of
strength, perhaps some OF you younger
fellows could tire the old man out"
Then springing like a cat, he caught
with his right hand one OF the rounds
or ladder by which the men climbed
10 the second story. and pulled him
self up with single arm. Lowering
himself, he repeated this Ginning
operation several times with great
rapidly. first with one arm and then
the other. Dropping TO the floor he
strolled over to pair of 100 pound
iron dumb-bells and began handling
the heavy weights as If they were hol-
low or made OF wood, passing the bells
from hand to hand, posing them on
high without tremor, and finally lay
Ing them down without even the no.
dceable Quickening of his breath.
The men looked sharply at one an
other. Not the best OF them could give
such an exhibition of strength. The
sergeant was just growing. "Old man.
who might you be, anyway" when the
dIaTm gong sounded, the hremen
sprang to their places and the little
old athlete was temporarily forgotten.
a close observer, however, might have
noted him dart out of the door and
vanish around the corner with the
speed OF a trained runner
The fire was in n lately finished
apartment house and was we'll under
way when the engines arrived. Lad
ders were quickly placed against the
building, and the brave firemen made
many trips, up and down. rescuing the
frightened occupants. Finally all the
inmates appeared to be saved and eff
forts were directed toward extinguish-
ing the fire or preventing its sbread.
Suddenly. everyone was startled by
the wild screams of a child. and a lit
