GAS WELL FIRES FIERCE
IN INDIAN TERRITORY

SapuIpa, T. T, March 2I.-Ihe gas
well two miles east of here that
caught fire Saturday, is stlll burning
fiercely. After fourteen days of work
the well was capped but the great
volume of gas found another way
through the crevices and for half a
mile it spread upon the earth, At
one place an aperture three feet wide
and twenty feet long was torn. Then
the escaping gas caught fire and has
been burning ever since. At one
place a sheet of flame twenty feet
long and fifteen feet high is blazing.
Tons Of rock and shale We're thrown
from the cracks and the constant
trembling of the earth Is frightening
the farmers and the oil operators in
the vicinity. Great pools of oil upon
the creeks and I'm the raviues are alsp
on fire and there are no signs of an
abatement.

TANiPERING WITH THE RAILS
WRECKS FAST TRAIN

Ptitsburg, March 27.-Train No.
20 on the Pennsylvania railroad,
known as the Keystone express, east
bound. was derailed near Wilmer
ding, Pa, fourteen miles east of here
early today. The engine, two mail
cars and q combination baggage and
smoker left the tracks, but no one
was hurt.
1t is believed that the train was in
tentionally derailed and that the deed
was done by the same parties who
wrecked the Chicago limited at Stew
art, Pa, last Friday.
The same plan was carried out and
only the slow speed saved a seri-
Gus accident. Both eastbound and
westbound tracks were tamperec
with, one rail joint on each track
being displaced within a few rods o
each other. Had the trains coming
in opposite directions met there, they
would have collided with serious re
suits.

TWO CARPEN-

Desperate Struggle in

Francisco Montoya, d Pueblo In
dian, at the risk of his life, saved w
G. Wilson, a carpenter employed by
the Domingo Lumber company al
Cochiu, from drowning, Monday
night, when the latter was thrown
from a swamping boat into the Rio
Grande.
Mr.. Wilson, however lost a portion
of his right hand, which became en-
tangled in a cable and was cut off as
though with a knife.
John Triple, aslo a carpenter en-
ployed by the same company, had a
narrow escape from drowning, but
managed TO reach the shore. although
exhausted from a fight of fifteen mill
utes in the raging water.
Both carpenters are residents OF
this city, living at AIS Hazeldine ave-
nue.. They reached Albuquerque to-
day and are recovering from their
narrowing experience.
Wilson and Triple We're at work
with other carpenters and laborers in
constructing a bridge across the Rio
II hauling lumber from the Jemez
reserve TO Thornton.
1t was necessary TO frequently
cross and re-cross the river and a
fragile ferry boat was built and oper-
ated by means of a cable stretched
from oanE TO bank.
The cable failed to work and Will

.empting to mend the trolley.
The boat was moored py "a small
rope TO a tree at the edge of the
bank, The river has been rising

waves from the current near the

A larger one than usual struck the

and sank like a shot. Triple was
thrown into the water away from the
boat and would undoubtedly have
drowned had he not succeeded in
catching a root Of the tree which pro-
jected tor some distance into the
water. After a desperate struggls
lasting for almost fifteen minutes he
at last reached the bank, exhausted
and choking from the effects Of the
water and sand.
Wilson was not so fortunate. He
slipped into the water at the side OF
the boat and the current pinned him
against the ferry, at the same time

A fight is being organized in Iowa
and other states on the mail order
houses, which at least bids fair to
cause them no end Of trouble and ex-
pense. The scheme is being developed
by o. I. Kleveland of Jewell, Webster
county. His-plan is to get every re-
tail merchant and every one else he
can in touch with all the large cata-
log houses. through letter or by
making some small purchase and ask
ing for catalog. Each person is sup
posed to find some excuse for writing
the mail order houses at least twice
week. Figuring the cost of the
immense catalogs issued by these
houses at 81 apiece and the postage
paid in answering all these letters. it
is thought that the plan will cost the
catalog houses at least 500, 700 a
month, with practically no return.
1t will be difficult matter for the
catalog houses to weed out the pro-
spective purchasers from their letters,
and it is thought that the plan will
greatly harrass them in the conduct
of their business and if the fight can
be organized throughout the United
States it will eventually result in the
ruination of many OF the catalog
houses.

One of the most notable events Of
recent years has been the growth Of
Re rural free delivery system. With
the close OF the fiscal year 1906, rural
delivery was il operation on 30, 766
routes. On 233 of tfese routes service
is performed tri weekly. On nearly
all of the remainder the service is
daily, as it is contrary to the policy
of the Post Office department to estab-
lish rural delivery with service more
frequent than once day. During
the year 3, 732 new routes were etab-
lished and seventy-six routes were
discontinued, the net increase for the
year in the number of routes in opera
tion being 1866. The decrease in the
number of routes established is due
to the falling off in the demand for
the service. The number of petitions
pending June 80. 1906, was 5000.
Since that date 449 petitions have
been accepted and 1853 routes estab.
lished or ordered established. Iowa
stands third among the states with
2, 286.
