LUCK IN TEXAS OIL FIELDS
Land Owners Said 20 Have Made
More Money Than the
Operators.

Humble. Textile oil operators are
trying 10 locate new oil fields in Tex
as. Since the original discovery OF oil
at Spindle Top they have been for
tunate In discovering new fields. one
after the other. 10 take the place Of
the exhausted oil districts.
When the output o. Spindle Top was
NJ a low ebb the Sour lake field was
discovered. The heavy production u
the Sour lake field had fallen OF when
oil was discovered at Batson. The
Batson field was a heavy producer for
nearly a year
Salt water made It's appearance in
the wells. the oil supply was shut on
and oil was discovered az Humble. All
Of BatsOn moved here. causing
town OF several thousand people 20
spring up almost In one night on the
spot where before there had been only
a blacksmith shop and one store.
The oil production OF the Humble
field has been falling OF rapidly ~
late. All the larger operators. there
fore. are validating for new oil fields
Il Is considered practically certain
that a new field will be discovered
soon.
The bringing Of an oil well In Wild
cat territory Is a signal for land values
To 40 soaring. During the height Of
the boom OF Spindle Top land In the
proved oil territory sold In lots Of one
eighth OF an acre for 100000. or at
the rate Of 81 100000 an acre. That
price has never been reached In any OF
the other fields. but Il is not unusual
for small tracts - sell for as much az
5000 an acre.
Some big fortunes have been made
by the original owners Of lands in
these oil fields. Men who had been
eking out bare existence AZ farming
and would have been glad 20 sell out
FOR 1--WE dollars an acre found their
land suddenly worth hundreds Of dol
lars an acre.
II Is said that these original land
owners have made more out 81 the oil T.
discoveries In Texas during the last
hye years than the oil operators them
selves. There are many instances Of
.hese sudden fortunes.

CLEVER TRICK
OF An INDIAN
Deceiyes Grain Company
Into Loan Of 500 Worth
Seed Wheat.

In a cleverly laid scheme, William
Smith, an Indian, suceeeder in bor-
rowing over $500 from the Kettenbach
Grain Co. on a bogus mortgage, and
carried out the deception from early
spring until few days ago. He is
now confined in the city Jail on a
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses, and will have his hearing
as soon as the evidence is ready.
The manner in which the Indian OBJ
tanned the loan was clever in the ex-
treme, and could not have been car
ried out more carefully by a practical
criminal up to the point of his cap
ture. Smith visited the manager of
the Kettenbach warehouse and told
him that he had leased a large tract
of land and wished to get seed for the
ground. He drove handsome team
Of four horses and had other Indians
there with good looking teams. He
told the manager of the warehouse
that they We're his horses and wagons,
and that he would give a mortgage
on the horses and on the crop as Sc
curity for the seed. He did NOT ask
for money and was content with the
seed.
4 The grain company has learned
since that the Indian did not have
land leased, and that he owned none
of the horses. The deception was
cleverly carried out all through the
season. At frequent intervals he Wis
tied the warehouse, and told Of the
progress of his crop, and at the prop
err time. without waiting to be solicit
ed, he came in and contracted with
the Kettenbach Co. for sacks for his
crop. He adhered to his first state
ment as to the amount of land, care
fully estimated his crop on this acre
age, and contracted for sacks enough
to accommodate il.
1t was when he failed to haul any
of the grain to the warehouse that the
grain company discovered that 1t haa
been buncoed and instituted an in
