ROCKEFELLER LIVES IN FEAR.
Dread of Assassination or Robbery
Always with Him.


Probably the most complete burglar
alarm system In the world is installed
in John ID. Rockefeller's house at
Cleveland. Both the burglar alarm
and an intricate signaling system are
tested nightly when the master is in
the house. and II a defect Is found an
expert is Immediately summoned to
repair it.
1t Is reported, but not confirmed,
that Mr. Rockefeller sleeps In a room
on the top floor. the only entrance to
which is through several other rooms
in which trusted lieutenants are sta
toned. AT night brilliant arc lamps
illuminate the grounds around the
Rockefeller house, and at least three
men are always on duty patroling the
premises.
Mr.. Rockefeller's fear of assassina-
ton is such that even in his own
house he will not sit with his back to
a window. When forced to travel he
will never If it can be avoided, enter
the public waiting room of railroad
station, preferring 10 sit in the bag
gage room or some other secluded
place. II was not vanity ii is said,
which prompted him to buy his now
famous wig, but the fact that his bald
ness made him too easily recognized.
The oil magnate has two trusted
bodyguards, one an freshman and the
other Swiss. A century or more
ago Irish and Swiss bodyguards were
the favorites of royalts.

OF producers in the state.
Beginning In 1908 with a total OF

Der reached 3639 in 1907. The growth
OF the agricultural division has been
carefully watched, with the result that
in 1907, through the influence Of the

Pipe Line May Re Constructed.

According to IN oil expert who al
rived in the city yesterday from Land
er, Wyo., much is expected BY thu
citizens and oil operators Of that towr
OF the 10y well that is being drilled
by an eastern company at a point q
miles northwest Of Lander.
Prospects Of exceedingly good Oh
have been obtained at the new vel
which was commenced about two
weeks ago. The we'll Is reing drilled
BY the Brunswick Balk Collender com
pany, the largest manufacturers 81
billiard and bar supplies in the world
and has reached a depth of about
1000 feet. This company has ex
plored and developed oil fields in iii
nois, Indiana and Ohio and has beer
eminently successful in the drilline
and refining Of the product in those
states.
Expect Strong Flow.
A flow Of more than 500 barrels q
day 10 anticipated BY the engineers
at the scene OF operations when q
depth OF 1900 feet is reached.
Samples Of the product alrady oh.
tanned have been analysed and are
pronounced as being as rich. IL not
richer. than any yet discovered in
this country. In quality. 1t is in many
respects similar to that found In sew.
eral other places Of Wyoming and
Montana and experienced oil men de.
clare that the oil taken from the
ground there is from the same strata
that extends in a northwesterly di-
rection from central Wyoming through
eastern Montana to the Canadian
boundary.
Further Development Needed.
Thirteen wells, all OF which are
within an area Of $50 acres, have been
bored near the scene Of the one being
drilled, but owing to a misunderstand-
ing among the members Of the con-
trolling syndicate, which is composed
OF English capitalists, and noblemen,
work has been suspended.
It has been sumored that It is the
intention Of the English syndicate to
acquire the properties OF the Ameri.
can holders.
The latter are undecided as to how
they will dispose Of their product, but
1t is said that the construction Of q
pipe line to Omaha, Neb., or possibly
Chicago, H., is favored by a majority
of those interested. S
