The Oil Was Struck At a Depth of
 Lee Than Fifteen Hundred
 Feet--Experts Are
 Wired For.
 Gu1fport, Miss, June 1s--(Special)- The unexpected happened today when oil was struck at a depth of less than 1,50o feet on the McCaughan place, about one mile northwest of the union station here.
 The drills had just stuck a rock stratum when the oil flow began to come and 1t is believed that the pe- troleum now rising to the surface pur- pulates through Assures in this solid obstruction which will probably have to be shot with nitro-glycerine to iiberate the fluid in paying quantity. Immediately on discovering this pres ence of oil boring was stopped and ex- perts wired for, on whose arrival the work will be resumed.
 This valuable find Is on the property of Colonel Harper McCaughan, who has conducted the experimental enter prise at his own expense. All indica- tions pointed to oil all around Gulf port two wears ago and the certainty of its existence did not create any hys- terical excitemen, although several hundred citizens, during the day. gath cred around the point of interest. Among the number was Acting Presi- dent J. A. Jones, of the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad Company, whose fa- ther's vast fortune had it's beginning in petroleum fields. t't'

Birmingham. June 19.-(Special.)- Sheriff F.. L. Higdon, of Jefferson Conn- ty, went inside of the county jail here today and had the white prisoners as- sembled and then made speech to the men telling them that he would re- lease the order given a week or so ago to the effect that no privileges were to be allowed the prisoners during the hot weather, preventing them from walking around in the corridors.
 The order that the prisoners shall be kept in cells was given because of trouble the prisoners were giving in the way of hollering out of windows to people passing by on the streets, send ing out clandestinely notes to people and the sending of a complaint to the War Department in Washington which brought about an investigation of the County jail.
 ThisDinvestigation resulted in clean bill of health being given the sheriff as to the conduct of the jail but 1t caused some little feeling. The pris-
