MAKE GOOD Use
OF new GAS WELL
THE kETCHAM WELL HAS BEEN
PIPED INTO Lorraine AND is
BEING USED BY SEW
ERAL FIRMS. r

Mohall, N. D., Dec. lathe gas well
or the Kctclfam farm, about eight
miles northwest of this city, has been
piped into Lorraine and is giving good
service. 1t is about mile from the
village.
The well is 290 feet deep and has a
pressure of 1875 pounds-anple supply
and pressure to furnish light and heat
to a great number Of people. 1t is
used by several firms in Lorraine, and
will no doubt be installed in every
place in the village. The cost is very
small For a cost of about eight or
nine dollars a fair-sized house can be
heated and lighted for month, even
during the past cold spell. The charge
is forty cents per thousand feet. In
two weeks on the Ketcham farm H.
600 feet were used. The house has
three lights and number of heaters.
A water well was also sunk on the
Ketcham farm which has a pressure
OF eighty pounds and is flowing owing
to the pressure of the gas. 1t will lll
a barrel in fifteen minutes. This well
is in the neighborhood of the Powell
well and the Gates we'll, though the
Powell outstrips them all in pressure,
having about 157 pounds. 1t is hoped
that gas can soon be brought into
this city and be utilized. Gas leaves
no ashes and furnishes excellent heat
and light, SO it is very desirable for
fuel and lighting purposes. The peo-
pie who are using 1t are indeed for
tunate.

New York, Dec. 19.--Twelve persons
were killed, two of them women. and
thirty were injured in a double ex-
plosion OF gas and dynamite In the
new electric power house of the New
York Central railroad shortly after 8
o'clock this morning.
The force of the explosion shatter-
ed hundreds of windows in the big
hotels and apartment houses in the
neighboring blocks near the big rail-
road terminal causing great alarm
among the guests.
The dynamite blast picked up a
northbound trolley car, lifted it into
air and sent 1t crashing down upon an
automobile which was passing along
the other side of the street. Four of
the passengers were killed and every
one in the car was injured.
The railroad service was temporarily
interrupted. The new sub-station

today that the dispatches sent out

other members of the sub committee.
that wherein it freed the election of
Senator Lorimer from charges Of COR
ruption, he stated, in the minority re-
port filed, that in his judgment Clie
evidence established the fact that four
members of the Illinois legislature,
who had voted for Lorimer, were
bribed to do so, they having con-
fessed that fact, and further that they
were bribed by three other members
of the legislature, who had voted for
Lorimer, and that his conclusions, as
stated in his report, were that seven
votes cast for Lorimer were corrupted
