lola, Jan. 1S.-A six million cubic
foot volume gas well was drilled in
yesterday Afternoon on the Nash
farm three miles south of LaHarpe
for the Lanyon Zinc Smelter company
by the Gas City Drilling company.
The rock pressure Of this well is even
better than any in the field, being
something over two hundred and sew
enty pounds. Gas was reached at the
depth of something over nine hum
dred feet.
This is the third well to be drilled
in On this farm. This well is larger
than any Of the others and its rock
pressure is great deal better. Or
dinarily the third or fourth we'll that
is drilled in a field is not as good as
the first ones because they are affect
ed more or less by the ones which are
being used. This probably means
that the field south of LaHarpe which
was discovered less than two months

BIG LAND SUIT DECIDED.
Mrs. Clark of OIathe Wanted a HaH
County But Failed.

Kansas City. Kan. Jan. 1S.-Did Mrs.
Lydia A. Clark sign the deeds to the
black bottom land of johnson and
Miami counties, Kansas?
On this question hinged the title to
$1,000 acres Of land, nearly half of john
son county. and a small part of Miami
county. The land is known, as the
Black Bottom land. The question was
submitted to a jury in the federal court
sitting here yesterday and the jury de-
cided that the woman signed. This
leaves 200 Of the present holders Of land
in peaceful possession Of farms and
town lots in this district. The value
of the land is estimated at about PA
million dollars.
The land was owned in early days
days by the Black Bottom tribe of the
Shawnee Indians. They sold it to Mil
ton E. Clark Of Olathe. It was sold by
him a quarter of a century ago to
about 200 persons. Mr.. Clark died sew
eral years ago.
Mrs. Lydia A. Clark, his widow.
brought suit in the federal court to re-
cover possession Of the land, alleging
that she did not sign the deeds. She
said that the signature on the. deeds
was a forgery. After hearing the testi
mony of experts on handwriting the
jury decided the signature was genu-

In August, 1906, Butts, then a lad Is
years of age, suffered a fracture of his
arm at the elbow joint. In addition
to the dislocation the ball that fits in
the joint was broken. DR.. Flynn was
called to reduce the fracture. He told
the family that the operation was an
extremely difficult one and that it
might not be possible to effect a per-
manent cure although the majority Of
persons so injured recovered, as he
should. But for some reason the boy
didn't recover and he is now suing DR..
Flynn for damages in the sum of $10,-
900 for malpractice.
