IMAGINARY
Is Highway Robbery of a
Redwood Man in
Glen Elk.

While on a spree Monday night in
Glen Elk, Scott NJ. Brown, a Rich
wood man, imagined that be had been
held up and robbed of all his money,
amounting to $29. by two unknown
young men, who made their escape.
When he finally waited into the
arms of a policeman, Brown bitterly
complained of the robbery, and a
search was made by policemen for
the two supposed highway robbers
but It was fruitless.
Tuesday morning at police head
quarters, Brown was searched a sec
ond time and $2S and ticket to Gin
cinnati were found in a book in one
of his pockets. The railroad ticket
doubtless represented the difference
between the s2S and the amount he
originally had. The finding of the
money and ticket discredited the high
way robbery story.
Brown was still drunk Tuesday
morning and he was remanded to jail
by Mayor Frank R. Moore until even
ing, when he will likely get the OPP
portunity Of using the railroad ticket.

IN OIL BUSINESS
Will Soon Be Getting One
Eighth of the Revenue
from a Gusher.

CHARLESTON, Feb. 2o-The state
Of West Virginia is again going into
the on business and before many
weeks Il IS probable that ons-eightd
of the income from gusher. such as
has been characteristic Of the de-
yelopment OF the new Blue, creek ter
ritory, Will be finding its way into
the state treasury. Through the
Board of Public Works the State has
granted lease to James Kay. of this
city, to it's property in the Blue creek
territory. The terms Of the lease
are similar to those Of the usual oil
lease and the state will get one-eighth
of such oil as may be produced.
) Land records of Kanawha county
fail to show that any land located
around Blue creek belongs to tue
state. In fact 1t is not land in the
usual sense Of the word, It is covered
by water. The tested oil territory
in that section is on both sides of
Elk river. classed as nayigable
stream, though 1t does not carry
steamers in the vicinity of Blue creek.
Courts have held that the state owns
the bed and banks to low water mark
of all navigable streams Of the state.
Therein lies the ground for the lease
granted to Kay. The strip leased is
the bed of Elk river for distance
of two miles near the mouth of Blue
creek.
Prospectors and spectators in the
Blue creek field overlooked this bet.
Few knew or recalled the states
ownership OF the bed OF Elk but law
yers who have made an investigation
take the view that the lease will hold
good. Should wells now being drilled
near the bed of Elk prove good pro-
ducers Kay will have a valuable lease.
This is not the first time the state
has been in the oil business. When
the Salem field was opened the state
drilled on the tract on which is To-
Gated the Girls Industrial Home and
several thousand dollars have been
turned into the state treasury as re-
suit. One of the wells is still pro-
ducing oil in paying quantities. When
drilling was tsarted on that tract at
tempts were made by owners of adj
jaining lands to stop the state but in
vain.
The state shared too in the gas de-
velopment at Weston and a we'll
owned by the state there furnished
gas to the West Virginia Hospital for
Insane.
This is believed to be the first in
stance in this state where the bed OF
a river was leased for the purpose
of drilling for oil. Before drilling
can be commenced it will be nee
essary to secure permission from the
secretary of war but this will be no
trouble. it is anticipated, since Elk
river at that point is not open to
boats.
