Black Earth Are Dumped
into the Hole

GOLDFIELD, May 22.-The oil ex-

the supposed spring or well had been
salted.
Rumors of discovery at the head
of Fish Lake valley, 20 miles west of

Jack Shirley. AL Annette and Ike
Gaillac came back yesterday afternoon
with an oil can full of sand mixed
with crude oil. which they took from
a two-foot hole out on the desert,
there being no evidence of a well or
crevice.
1t is their opinion that several sacks
of the black substance had been I'M
ported from California and dumped
into the hole, for they dug foot or
two deeper and could find no trace OF
a saepage. Billie Beauchamp and party

The gas exerts a pressure OF lOO0
pounds to the square inch as it comes
out of the pipe, as shown by the gauge,
and Mr.. Pollard, who is general man

says it Is good for not less than 11,OOO,-

which never fails in any emergency.

BATTLES IN DARK AGAINST
DOG. BUT FINDS IT DEAD.

hartley, Feb. 4.-Frantic efforts
to kill a dead dog with the butt of q
gun almost wrecked the interior fur
nishings of the home of William Cole,
between this village n Hackettstown,
early today. He shot at the rabid ami
NAL as soon as it entered the house,
and the concussion caused by the eX-
plosion of the gun was so great that all
the lights we're distinguished. That left
him and the members OFF his family,
they thought, in a darkroom with u
mad dog.
Cole dubbed his gam and began
thrashing about at a great rate, hoping
to hit the animal and brain it as it ad-
.vanced upon him and those who were
crouching behind him for protection.
Plates, cups and saucers were smashed.
Chairs were broken and overturned.
Finally the lamps wee relightea, and a
cautious search was made for the dog.
1t was found under the table, dead
from gunshot wounds.

Yaauls Join Bed Rebels.

The Mexican government is taking
prompt and vigorous action toward
quelling the Maya Indian uprising In
Yucatan and Quintana Roo. More than
10000 troops will be in the field
against the Indians within 10 days.
The report that more than 5000
Mayas are moving in one body to-
wards Merida is believed by military
authorities to be an exaggeration. II
Is not thought that there are that
many available fighting men in the
Maya tribe, but there is little actual
ly known as to their numbers. owing
to the fact that they inhabit remote
localities and seldom come in contact
with the Mexicans except in their
raids.
According to report received from
Merida many Yaqui Indians who we're
exiled TO the Hanquin plantations have
escaped and joined the Mayas.
