FIFTH FLOW Of
OIL IS FOUND
Greatest Strike Made On
Carter Farm.
Thought That Well will Produce
One Hundred Barrels
aDay.

The fifth strike OF oil In the well that
Is being drilled by the West Kentucky
OIL Co., on the Carter farm near Hart
ford, was made Monday morning. Eight
feet Of solid limestone. the hardest the
drillers ever encountered In this WELL
wore drilled through just before striking
this now.
Samples of the oil have been brought
to Hartford and are on display at the
Bank OF Hartford and are pronounced TO
be the best oil that has been found In
the well. Some weeks ago fine flow
of oil was found at n depth of about
400 feet. The strike Monday was found
at a depth of about so feet.
WILL SHOOT THE WELL.
Operations at the well have been sus-
pended upon the decision of the drillers
and the local managers OF the company
1t having been decided to "shoot" the
well. The effect OF this will be to
start the flow In all directions. and lit
orally tearing up the rock below. 100
quarts OF nitro-glycerine have been or
dared. and will be brought overland
from Oakland City. Ind.
FIFTEEN FEET OF PAYING SAND.
1t is said that the oil is coming from
about fifteen feet of paying oil sand. and
this alone is very flatterng. and the
oil Is now standing about 100 feet in the
well. The driller In charge has had an
experiencA OF over twenty years In the
drilling business and is n conservative
manager. but says that in his opinion
when the well is "shot" 1t will yield
not less than 100 barrels of oil per day,
and he has the greatest confidence In the
proposition, and says that there are all
indications of fine well.
CREDIT TO PROF. GARDNER
Much credit is due to Prof. James H..
Gardner, assistant State biologist. chief
ly upon whose recommendation the work
was started In Ohio county. He came
here several months ago and made thor
ough examinations. and submitted an an
alysis of his work The work was be-
gun, and all along his examinations
hnve been verified and oil has been
found at every depth which Prof. Gard
ner declared would be found II there
was any any oil at all. He arrived In
Hartford Wednesday afternoon. and
Thursday morning visited the well, and
expressed himself as being greatly
of this well has demonstrated the feet
that this surrounding country Is coia-
posed OF large oil area, and this will
be worth a great deal.

Hartford Teams Win and Lose.

The first and second girls basket ball
teams of Hartford College went to
Beaver Dam last Friday night, where
they played against the West Kentucky
Seminary teams. w. X. S. won the
first game Is to s, and the second w. X.
s. team won "a to II. The score shows
that the Hartford girls did better play
ing than they did when the Beaver Dam
girls played here a few days ago and de
feated us.
The game that has been causing the
most comment among the enthusiasts
in Hartford is the game of the first
boys team of Hartford College and first
team of Beaver Dam Athletic Assicia--
ton, played here last Saturday night,
when Hartford won SO to 20. Owing to
the rainy weather the attendance was
not very large, but this did not dampen
the spirit of the members of either
team, and they all played for all they
were worth. The same evening the Sec
ond teams of the respective towns al
so played, and here Hartford lost, score
being AZ to 10. In the second team
game our boys were outmatched in size
and strength.
Saturday night the two boys teams o
Hartford will play at Beaver Dam and
claim they will win both games. A
large crowd from Hartford will proba-
bly, attend the game.
