M. F. CoNLEY, Publisher
Test Wells in Boyd.

The timbers are being hauled to,
the Haney farm, one mile below town,
preparatory to the erection of the
delricks for putting down of the test
oil wells in that section. It is the
intention of the promoters to push
the work right along and it is said
hat they will not cease their work
upon sinking single well, though
it should not result in a paying dis
coyery, and other wells will be put
down until this field has been given
the most thorough test.
There are now two gas wells in
the neighborhood which are each pro-
ducing quite handsome amount Of
fuel. One of these belongs to Mr..
Patton who is utilizing the gas for
fuel. The other one belongs to ]. C.
Richardson, who supplies himself
with fuel for private consumption.
From now on great interest will be
taken in watching the developments,
Which 1t is believed are going to
result successfully

Denies the Authorship.

The recent publication In this paper
OF the Big Sandy story, "A Half-Life
and Half Life" has brought 10 this
otiice several letters relating to the
time and scene Of the story and to
the tale itself. Two Of these are
psblished In the NEWS today.
It will be seen that Miss C"uiR-
shAnks gently denies the authorship
attributed TO her A perusal Of her
letter, however, shows that she was
familiar with the people and events
OF this region. The reading will call
up In the minds OF many some rec

DISREPUTADLE ESCAPADE
Which Began in Louisa and Ended in
Huntington.

On Sunday last disreputable wo-
man of this place met by appointment
man, said to be a drummer" on
the train from Pikeville. They went
to Clyffeside and from that place to
Huntington. There they took a room,
and from that room, so it is alleg-
ed, the girl carried away diamond
ring and several dollars in money.
Soon after their departure the
valuables were missed and search was
made for the couple. They were
found at the depot in Catlettsburg
and arrested. The woman was search
ed, and in her shoe was found the
ring, and among the rats" of her
hair most of the money was found.
The owner of the property was sat
isfied with its recovery and would
not press the charge of robbery.
The parties were released and the
girl returned to Louisa.
This procedure did not satisfy the
Huntington authorities, and on Mon
day policeman from that place came
to Louisa and went before County
Judge T. s. Thompson and obtained
a warrant of arrest charging the
girl with being a fugitive from JUS
tice, Upon this warrant she was ar
rested and was taken back to Hunt
ineton for trial.
This is the plain unvarnished story
! of what created no excitement" in
Louisa whatever and concerns part
les of no prominence" whatever ex-
cept it be of very unenviable sort.
IT is story of very disreputable
escapade, but around which Hunt-
iugton paper has sought to weave
story of Childish confidence and
mans duplicity," of Wild CHILDISH
beauty"-the story of "a pretty un-
sophisticated country girl and 1t
might have been that, had the man
who she claims attempted her down
fall, succeeded in his purpose, there
would have been another pitiful chap
ter written in the history of the
white slave traffic that is carried on
in the Big Sandy valley year after
year and through WHICH so many
ignorant country girls go to their
ruin"
The whole miserable, garbled, exag-
gerated mess has been copied into
other papers, some, If not AN, Of
which knew that much Of the story
was false. It has been read by many,
doubtless, who, not knowing the facts,
have been caused to form very un-
favorable opinion Of the morality Of
i. this valley-a section fresr from vice
and immortality than any other sec
lion Of the countH. The whole

May Expend Money.

IN a decision which he handed
down overruling an injunction grant
ed at the instance of taxpayers Of
Paducah, Judge E. c. O'Rear, of the
Court of Appeals, held that a coun-
ty can expend money for transport
ing children to and from school, The
decision Is, important and almost
every county in the State will be
affected.
The case which Judge 0'Rear de-
cided came on appeal from the Cir
