OTHER OIL WELLS TO BE
DRILLED IN WINFIELD TERRITORY
Capitalists From Other Cities Are Anxious to Get
into the Winnfield Territory and Have Made
Propositions that Mean Development.

been reached as yet. all those
who are competent to know pre-
dict that the Winfield oil field
will soon develop into one of the
best paying fields in the state.
Another report. which seems to
be we'll founded, is to the effect
that the same parties who own
property in the Winfield oil
field and will drill well on it
also own considerable rights at
the Drake salt works on Saline.
where a well is being drilled by
the Louisiana and Arkansas Rail-
road people. and that property
will also be developed. 1t is
said ample capital is behind the
project.
The flow of natural gas in the
Pace oil we'll is now something
immense and the supply seems to
be practically inexhaustable.
This within itself is no small
thing for WINFIELD.
The Sentinel is gratified to
know that there are Others who
are sufficiently impressed with
the outlook to enter the field for
the purpose of sinking another
we'll, the fact that a test we'll is
now being drilled notwithstand-
ing, all of which makes US more
stable in our belief that there is
an abundance OF oil in the Winn-
field oil field.

BATTLE PARK
AT MANSFIELD
Organization Perfected to Make
a Park on Site Of the
Battle Of Mansfield.

The organization of the Mans
field Battle Park Association is
reported in the s.Social and 9th
erwise" column of the Monroe
News. The object of the organi-
zation will be to promote and es-
tablish park on the site where
the battle of Mansfield was fought.
Anyone can become a member of
the association by paying the
membership fee of so cents, the
amount to be sent to Mrs. E. L.
Robson, treasurer, Mansfield,
La.
This is what Social and Other
wise says:
IS. and q. was first to take this
movement up, it will be remem-
bered, In a newspaper way, and
will continue in the effort to se-
cure for Louisiana this great and
glorious distinction of possession.
These readers have not heard the
last from her on the subject of
Battle Park. Monroe Confeder-
ate Associations must and will
take it up; individuals will send
on their admission fee, and some
big hearted and patriotic ones
will give and give generously,
s. and 0. is as sure as that the
sun shines and the roses bloom In
Louisiana"
The Sentinel will join Social
and Otherwise in her noble work,
one in which she never seems to
tire, and we feel that the U. G..
VS., the U. D. C's., and the S.
of u. C. VS.. of Winfield will
join with US.
1t was at the battle of Mans
field that the gallant young officer
was killed after whom the Winn.

is named. Col. William Walker
of the 28th Louisiana Infantry
and many of the members of Da-
vid Plerson Campt 1903 q. G. v.

saw him killed as he gallantly led
them.

RICH OIL FIELD ON SEA
MARINE Ell DORADO REPORTED IN
GULF OF MEXICO.
Discovered by Naval Officer Whe
Says Petroleum Covers an Area
Of 400 Miles and Is Four
Fee. Deep.

New Orleans.-About 100 miles
south OF the coast of Louisiana ana
$50 miles from New Orleans Lieut.
John C. Solely OF the United States
navy has recently discovered a tielt
of oil 400 miles In area and four feet
deep floating on the surface of the
Gulf OF Mexico.
The news OF this find which Is
worth several millions, as soon as II
became known to the southern ship
ping centers, created almost as much
interest to treasure hunters as the dis
covery Of gold in the Klondike. and al
ready along the wharves of Mobile
and the levees of New Orleans, where
sailormen gather in low jowled build
ings, the fever of treasure trove is In
their veins, and they are planning eX.
petitions such as made the old argo
nauts famous
No similar event has so gripped the
avaricious instincts OF the southern
sailors and it is doubtful If such an
unusual discovery has been made be.
fore.
For several days past the United
States photographic office, under
whose direction Lieut.. Solely was work.
Ing, has been receiving hundreds OF
in the venture and who are inquiring
for charts plotting the exact location
Of the sea where the oil can be found.
The scene of activity along some OF
the wharves has been unusual, and II
Is said that some OF the keenest bust
ness men not only of the south. but
all over the country, have expressed
the intention OF sending out searching
parties. comprising experts in naviga
ton and high.salaried oil testers. &c
locate the oil and to report on the
bracticability of making II paying
venture.
An Unsuitable desire for rapidly nc
quired riches has grown among the
maritime men along the gulf coast
similar to the excitement OF the gold
fever OF az. and wild scramble foi
the floating oil field threatens to be in
full sweep before another week has
passed.
According to one OF the prospectors
who has made arrangements to char
ter large tank steamer and to install
. powerful pumping apparatus for
drawing the oil from the sea. he fully
expects to reap rich harvest. provid.
ed the survey steamer which he has
sent to the oil field makes favorable
report on the quality OF the oil and the
chances OF getting 1t aboard.
Even in some of the most conserv
ntive commercial houses careworn
business men have turned away from
the perpetual grind OF their daily du
ties and have expressed more than 3
perfuntory interest In the discovery.

Seekinq More Room.

A stock company has been organized at Helena with an authorized capital stock of s250,000, for the purpose of building practically another town to be known as West Helena. and connected with Helena, by an inter- urban electric line. For this purpose an option has been secured by the company on 2.200 acres of land one mile and a half west of the city, which will be improved by the grading of streets, putting down sidewalks, and the erection of light, water and power plants, and the construction of an adequate sewer system. This movement was made necessary by the present lack of accommodations for those who come to Helena to make their homes. Helena is so situated physically that further expansion is practically i'm possible and the need of more houses for homeseekers is becoming more apparent every day.

Auain Gives Them the Slip.

Ben Hunnicut, who was sent to the reform school from Van Buren county on the charge of burglary, made his second escape from the institution recently. Arthur Mcllwaine, sent from Hot Spring county on a similar charge, accompanied him in the break for liberty 1t is customary at the institution to give the boys a half hours recess at 2;30 o'clock in the afternoon. It was during this recess that the two lads made their escape, The boys were at play at the time, and were in charge of only one guard
 who was unable to abandon his watch over the other boys to pursue the two fugitives. Superintendent Chestnut was absent from the school at the time, but on his return a few hours later started in pursuit of the two boys and succeeded in capturing them at Pinacle. This is the second time Hunnicut has escaped from the reform school. Three months ago he left the institution. A reward of $10 was offered for his arrest, and he was captured at Shawnee and return ed to the school by Superintendent Chestnut. who went there for him.

Working surveys have been nearly completed, and a large portion of the right of way guaranteed, for the Lit tie Rock and Pine Bluff interurban, according to one of the promoters. The exact route of the survey cannot be ascertained. It pursues the same gen. eral course as the Rock Island as far as Galloway, and then parallels the Cotton Belt until within a short distance of Pine Bluff, when the river will be crossed.

State Capital Notes
Walked 75 miles to Surrender.

Learning that he was wanted by The United States government TOT selling liquor without a license and that a warrant had been issued for his arrest. Thomas Stanley walked 70 miles to the office of the deputy mar shal who held the paper and vol untarily surrendered. Stanley's ac- tion has received wide comment and it goes on record as one of the most unique cases of self-imprisonment in this district. He was under indict- ment in the western judicial district of this state, but left the jurisdiction of the court before he was summoned for trial. Deputy United States Mar shal Freeman of Freeman, P. O., Pope county, was in Eglantine, Van Bruen county, recently and acquainted friend there with the information that he had a warrant for Stanley. The friend said that he knew the man and would communicate with him. This was done and Stanley who has been resident off and on of Eglantine for more than a year, decided to give himself up. Freeman had returned to his home in the meantime and, therefore, he was dumfounded when Stanley walked into his house stating that he was wanted. He confessed that he had travelled the distance on foot. Word was immediatly sent to Little Rock that the man was ln custody and he was taken to Russell vile, from which place he was brought to Little Rock. Stanley was arraingned before Commissioner Allen for the eastern district and after hearing was lodged in the county jail to await the issuance of an order by United States District Judge Trieber for removal to Fort Worth. He is about 35 years old and shows no signs of his long jaunt. His conduct warrants the supposition that he did not know that he had been indicted.
