NOT so MANY LOST.
Rock Island Wreck in Cimarroa River
AOt So IeTrible Is First ReDorted.


CimarrOn Bridge, via Kinghsher
Okla Sept 19.-Contrary to yester-
days reports IL developed today that
/ twenty persons who were known to
nave occupied the smoker on the
nOrInDounQ Rock Island train that
went into the Cimarron river near
lover yesterday morning are unac-
counted for. Efforts are being made
TO locate the smoker. which is at a
point 10 yards below the site OF the
bridge A strong eddy is believed to
marx the spot where the smoker
sank The water has fallen I'VE feet
from the high mark OF yesterday, but
neither the engine, baggage car nor
the smoker can be seen
When the train went on the bridge
the baggage car, smoker and day
coach broke loose and topping on the
wrecked bridge swung down stream.
Immediately the baggage car sank
The smoker half fioated with one end
above water, the couplings between
IL and the day coach broke and, sub
merged, IL was carried down the riv-
er for distance OF over 100 yards
None or the persons who escaped saw
any one leave the smoker except four
persons who stood on the roof OF that
car when 1t was struck by a portion Of
the wrecked bridge. They were
knocked into the water and rescued
finally several miles down the river
clinging to debris
An additional death was added to
the list OF known victims today when
the 3-year-old son OF Mrs Kate Sells
OF Payne, o., died OF strangulatiOn,
caused by inhaling sand and water.
D. E Cain, general manager OF the
Rock Island railroad, who reached
here last night by special train, is
giving his personal attention to the
search for bodies. Mr.. Cain said to-
day that he was confident that the
loss OF life was much less than was
reported, but IS unable TO give an esti-
mate, as even at this late hour little
definite information is known at
Dover.
Men have crossed the river in
skiffs this morning and begun a
thorough search OF the cars in sight
No report has been received here Of
/ the finding anywhere OF bodies.

The Dramatic Flavor OF Wall Street

1t is the speculative side Of Wall
street that most appeals to the imagi-
nation. If we were dealing with that
side Of Wall street we should not lack
for authenticated cases Of high dra-
matte flavor, as, for example, that Of
youth Of eighteen who ran two dollars
into a fortune Of 100000 in a few
months, and was last heard OF trying
to pawn his wife's engagement ring
for twenty-five dollars; or that Of the
farmer who made several millions Of
dollars from q very modest beginning
slipped a check for $500, zoo under
the breakfast plate Of each member
Of his family one morning, tore the
checks up because within an hour the
riches had become a matter OF do
nestle strife and was last heard OF
when one day he brought a load OF
hay across the ferry from Staten Is
land to New York and begged his
brokers to take il in lieu Of margins

HAY FIND OIL n WALLAGEY
COMPANY DRILLING IN COUNTY
SOUTH OF HERE
Land Being Withdrawn From Real
Escate Men on Account Of the
Operations.

A story OF much importance to
Sherman county comes out Of wallace
county adjoining on the south At q
point on Turkey creek three or sfOur
miles northeast OF the town OF Wal
lace, an oil company has unlOaded
expensive machinery and Is now sink
ing a drill into the earth with the
hope Of reaching oil deposits in this
part Of the state.
the quiet operations Of this oil com
pany became known IN GoOdland
through the real estate ONCE OF
Keeran & Warner. It seems that the
section Of land in Wallace county had
listed this tract for sale with this real
estate firm, and just last week with
out explanation OF any kind suddenly
withdrew the land from the market
This excited the curiosity Of John
Keeran, a member OF the firm, and he
wrote the bank to ascertain the cause
Of the withdrawal, when he was in
formed that prospective drilling Op-
eratiOns for oil had been begun in the
neighborhOOd Of the banks land, and
for that reason It would be kept on
the market until news Of the develop
ments should become known. That
was good reason OF course, Tor, be-
side the agricultural significance Of
western Kansas, the finding OF an oil
field would make some Of the terri
tory immensely valuable, and foster
manufactures.
Turkey creek is only a feeder or
tributary to a fork Of the Smoky Hill
river, and doubtless has the same geo.
logical formation as the North Fork
Of the Smoky that courses through
the southern part OF Sherman county.
And if oil is found on Turkey creek
what ought we to expect to find IN
der the bottoms Of the Smoky in Sher-
man?
1t appears to be true that nothing
was made in vain, and the uninviting
hills and bluffs Of the Smoky creek
may have been raised up as land
marks to guide men into treasure
house Of nature. In many places
these same hills are composed OF
limestone with possibilities OF the
manufacture Of cement or lime.
That there are unusual formations
in Sherman county has been proven
The GeneseO Land and Cattle cOmpa-
nv, hich has its holding in the south
part Of this county, put down a well
I'm a deep draw south OF the Smoky
creek, on section 19-10-39- Water
was reached at 81 feet, and TO the
great surprise OF the company water
in that we'll rose u within Eine feet
Of the surface, and has maintained
that level, although wind mill has
been kept lifting water from l.. That
means that there has been gener-
Gus supply, the water standing at
height of f1fty-sight feet IN the well
It is almost artesian IN ChaTartCr.
People Of western Kansas may rea-
sonably look for discoveries Of vege-
table and mineral deposits in this part
Of the state.
