Big Flow Struck.

A northumberland oil
we'll was developed here Monday by
the West Kentucky Oil Co., drilling
near Hartford, after they got their
pumping apparatus in operation.
Seven strikes of oil in all we're
made before they reached this
gusher at a depth of 1900 feet.
Much interest is centered in the en-
terprise and there are a number of
oil men here negotiating for leases.
The oil has been tested and is of
very fine quality. This is the best
strike of oil that has yet been made
in Western Kentucky.

EXCESSIVE RAINS ARE
DOING DAMAGE TO CROPS

The excessive rains which have
fallen throughout the entire Green
river district the past few days have
done much damage to various crops
of farmers, and the loss has as
sumed serious proportions and will
run into the thousands of dollars.
Hundreds of acres of corn, tobacco
and hay are inundated, with no
prospect of immediate attention, as
the water is falling very slowly, be-
ing backed up by that which, until
the last day or two, has been fall
ing every twenty-four hours.
In many setions where the
farm lands have been readily drain
ed heretofore, water is standing two
and a half feet deep over the corn
and tobacco.
The existing condition is said to
be even worse in the lowlands in
close proximity to Green river,
which is swollen to almost twice its
width by the recent rains.
1t is impossible to accurately es-
innate the damage and losses that
will be sustained by the heavy
downpour of water but it is assur-
ed that a large portion of the wheat
crop. which has been cut and is
standing in shocks in the fields,
will be nodded and probably all
ruined

GIRLS TAKEN FROM LINER
German Consul Acts in Case of
Two Sisters from Dresden.

When the Cunard liner Pannonia arrived

other Mediterranean ports II was learned
that two young women had been taken
from the ship by the German consul at

ander, nineteen years old, and her sister
Alice, two years younger. belonging to a
good family in Dresden.
Several days before the Pannonia left
Fiume the young women arrived there and
lived at the Hotel de pEurope. where they
met a stranger named Josepr Ksmpfner
about thirty-elght years old. He sailed
with them on the Pannonis, taking first
cabin accommodations while the young
women travelled In the second cabin. AT
Messina and Palermo Kampfner accom-
PANIED the young women asho and left
the ship himself at Naples.
When an hour out Of Naples the master
Of the Pannonia received a wireless mes
sage from the German consul asking that
the young women be put ashore. A similar
message was received shortly before the
vessel reached Gibraltar. and the German
consul carse aboard. The young women re-
fused to leave their stateroom until the
doors had been broken in.
They were sent in the care of detectives
TO their homo In Dresden. The consul al
