ern Oklahoma where my oil proper ties are located, there are about 15.- GOO oil wells operating, while others are being drilled constantly. After awhile the wells give out. and to keep up the supply. new wells must be brought into service"
 Mir Fancher was interested to know that attempts had been made about Hot Springs to get oil. and stated that it was entirely likely that Arkansas would in the near future produce some oil, as it lays in the great oil belt running from Pennsyl- vania to Texas and California.
 Crude oil is found in a peculiar kind of sandstone, which seems to be the only substance which will hold the oil detained By boring into this sandstone the oil flows into the well made in drilling The oil seems to be contained in the sandstone much as water is held in sponge, though there are some pools found also. No satisfactory explanation has ever been advanced for the way in which oil has been formed in the earth, but the best theory is that 1t comes from the shale rock. There is one place in Europe where oil is distilled from shale rock much as sap is distilled from wood
 "The oil business is a fascinating one," concluded Mir Fancher, and it is only 30 years old. Yet, the crude oil produced equals in value all told more than all the gold and silver produced in this country
 The New York oil magnate will remain at the Park hotel for another week and will then go to inspect his properties in the sister state of Okla homa

COMPTON CASE
 NOT DISMISSED
JUDGE GOTHAM REFUSES TO FREE SLAYER OF FREEMAN
 FROM CUSTODY.
When Grand Jury Can Not Indict He Orders Compton Held to Another
 Grand Jury investigation.

When the present grand jury failed to return any kind of an indictment against George Compton, who shot and killed Mack Freeman, in this city last winter, Circuit Judge c. r. Gotham refused to dismiss Comp ton from liability, and ordered that he be further held under a $5,- 900 bond to await such action as an- other grand jury might take.
 Although the action in the grand jury room is secret, it is stated that more than a majority of the mem bers believed an indictment should be returned, but that a true bill" re- quires 12 signatures of the 16 mem bers, and that this number never would vote for a true bill against Compton.
 Compton was a deputy sheriff un- der Sheriff Hale. and he shot and killed Mack Freeman, the trouble arising over Compton's daughter. Sheriff Hale was in the room with Compton and Freeman when the shooting took place. Freeman was shot in the back as he was leaving the room.
 The action taken by the court is said to be unprecedented by some, but this is a question. Even had Compton not been ordered further held, he would be subejct to indict- ment by some later grand jury, but unless he had been held on bond, during the time, would be at perfect liberty to leave the country at any time. It is argued by friends of Compton, however that he would never leave, and that he would be ready at all times to answer any charges that might be made
