The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1909-01-15

Caldwell, Jan. S-A flow of oil and
water was encountered yesterday after
noon at depth of 1853 feet, in the north
west part of the city in well being sunk
by the city. Some time ago the council
decided to sink three wells for the pur-
pose of furnishing water for the city and
the first was sunk to depth of 116 feet
at which a good supply of water was en-
countered and it was while sinking the
second well yesterday afternoon on rather
low quarter of the city, that the second
flow was struck. The water looked very
oily and an investigation showed that it
contained SO much crude oil that it could
not be used. Residents in that section
are much excited over the discovery of oil
but the city officials have taken no action
regarding sinking the well deeper. 1t is
probable, however, that the we'll may be
taken over by private capital and thor
ough test for oil made. Capital News.

SUIT IS SEQUEL TO
TRAIN FILTRATION
DETROIT MAN
FACES CHARGE OF STEAL
ING ANOTHER MANS WIFE.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 12.-
Thomas Gray, manager of the
Robert H. jerks Lumber company
and prominent Detroit society
and club man, has been arrested
on a capias in a suit brought for
$4,000 damages against him by
Wellington r. Bryant, a promi-
nent Kansas City attorney, for
alienation of affections.
The woman In the case is Grace
G. Bryant, Michigan woman
and a former resident of Three
Rivers. She is, as her husband
describes her in his declaration,
a woman of great personal
beauty and disposition.
In the summer of 1907 she re-
turned to Michigan, according to
her yearly custom, to visit her pa
rents and friends, and on the
train from Ludington to Grand
Rapids, Mr.. Bryant declares, she
met Gray, who made himself SO
agreeable to her that she gave
him her photograph and her ad-
dress. Again, In October, 1908,
she visited her friends in Michi-
gan, and in the following Janu-
airy Bryant says he consented to
file petition for divorce on the
ground of gross neglect of duty
and extreme cruelty.
On her next visit to Michigan,
Bryant swears, Gray met her at
Niles and told her he was the
manager for the Robert H. jerks
Lumber company, that lie was
getting salary of $4,000 a year.
He told her he inherited $4,000
from his grandfather, who was a
rich Cleveland lumberman, who
held large properties in Oklaho-
ma, and that his family belong to
the Cleveland aristocracy," Bry-
ant charges.
By persuasion and flattery, the
husband asserts, Gray induced
Mrs. Bryant to go with him to
South Bend, Ind, where, accord
ing to Bryant's story, Gray prom
ised to marry her and take her
to Oklahoma as soon as she got a
divorce.

R ES 7 R AIMING
ORDER IS
DENIED

In the case of G. H. Ebert
against the city, the plaintiff was
denied his petition for
an order restraining the city from
carrying out a deal with the Star
Electric company. The $4,000
worth of apparatus is now on a
car waiting the outcome Of the
suit before it will be installed.
The defendant alleges that the
suit was instituted by a rival COM
pany to prevent the Star COM
pany from going ahead on the
deal.
Ebert, who was formerly court
bailiff, is attempting to show that
the contract was unjustly awarded
to the Star company by the city
council and that that company was
not the lowest bidder.

Hickling, one of the victims of
Tuesdays fire at the Okanogan

lost their lives, met a heroic death.

her or die" He rushed again in
to the building and succeeded in

LY DESTROYED, ENTAlLlNG
LOSS OF 100000.

The Howell-Hill lumber mill, al
the junction of the Tacoma East
en railroad and the old Puyallup
street car line, together with the
stock of lumber, was totally de-
stroyed by fire last night, entail
ing loss of about $40, 900, which
is partially covered by insurance.
Form Bucket Brigade.
The fire started in the dry kiln
about $50 last evening and was
discovered by the night Waterman,
who Immediately gave the alarm
by blowing the mill whistle. The
citizens Of Midland promptly turn
ed out and a bucket brigade was
organized. Water was pumped
through a hose from a 1853 foot
well for a time, but the intense
heat compelled tine fire fighters to
abandon the hose, and buckets
had to be used in an ineffective
attempt to quell the flames.
The entire lumber yard was
ablaze fifteen minutes after the
fire started and the flames were
plainly visible from many sections
of Tacoma. The flames were not
brought under control until this
morning.
Narrow Escape.
In attempting to secure some
buckets that were ON top of the
mill Clarke Milhone, shingle
packer, narrowly escaped death.
He assembled to the roof by a lad
der and was immediately envelop-
ed in the blaze that arose from
the dry woodwork. He attempted
to descend the ladder but found
the path blocked by flames, but he
finally reached the ground after
sustaining slight burns.
Tt is probable that the mill will
be rebuilt In short time. Clar-
