TEST SHOWS OVER
ZOO BARRELS
NEW WELL EVIDENTLY BETTER
THAN OWNERS THOUGHT
THOROUGH TEST.

A preliminary test of the new oil
we'll in the Apple and Franklin field
yesterday showed that the well was
producing ten barrels per hour.
This is not considered a fair test
by oil men who watched the opera
tons. 1t was more in the nature Of
testing the pumps recently installed
and they say that the well is going
to show something very much better
than that as soon as the real test
can be made.
Mr.. Franklin went to the field this
morning in order to have everything
ready when Mr.. Critchlow arrives
Thursday. When he arrives thor
ough test of the well will be made.
Even with the test made yesterday
for only an hour it shows a 240-bar-
rel well and that is no small propo-
sition, considering the grade of oil
it produces.

MAYOR ROBERTS
REPORTS ON TANKS
SAYS ARDMORE'S TANKS ARE
ALL RIGHT, BUT FAULT is IN
OPERATION.

Mayor Roberts, who has been alb
| sent for over a week visiting various
cities in Texas that have filtration
plants in connection with their sewer
departments making inspections of
the same and trying to determine if
possible why the one owned by this
city failed to give satisfaction, re-
turned last night and says that he
is prepared to discuss the septic tank
proposition now.
In making his report last night at
the council meeting he stated thai
there was no reason why the local
plant should not work as it was con
structed identically the same as 9th
ers he had visited, but he also stated
that the fault was in the operation
and not in the construction of the
tanks and told the remedy to rectify
the same.
His plans will be put in operation
at once and he stated that if they
were carried out the sewer depart
ment would have no more trouble
with the septic tanks.

FROM ARDMORE
To SHERMAN
JOHN RINGLlNG AND PARTY OF
SHERMAN CAPITALISTS HOLD
CONFERENCE TODAY.

The next movement in railway cir
cles seems to be a line from Ard
more to Sherman. The reason for
this statement is that Hon. Cecil
Lyon, of Sherman will be here today
to confer with John Ringing in ref
erence to extending the road from
this city to Sherman. Mayor Rob-
erts, who recently visited Sherman,
was requested by Mr.. Lyon to notify
him when Mr.. Ringing next visited
Ardmore. When the mayor arrived
home yesterday he found Mr.. Ring
ling here and Immediately placed him
and Mr.. Lyon in communication with
each other with the result that Mr..
Lyon and party Of Sherman capital
lists will be here this afternoon to
confer with Mr.. Ringling ON the
subject of a line between Ardmore
and that point.
The mayor states that in the event
nothing is done toward building
road by Mr.. Ringing and Mr.. Lyon,
the North Texas Traction company
have expressed a desire to enter the
field and will build an interurban
connecting the two cities il the peo-
pie OF Ardmore will do their share
toward its construction. A railway
between Ardmore and Sherman
would traverse rich territory and
would no doubt be paying propo-
sition.

FRIENDLY j .AAW s|!.l
Canadian Crowd at Station Shouts
to Officers to Let Him Go Free
Sister and Her Husband Hurrying
to Aid Him.

Sherbrooke, Quebec, Aug. 90
Harry X. Thaw spent Tuesday night
in the roomy hospital cell of the jail
here carefully guarded. This morn
ing he was visited by a squad OF
newspaper men, old friends as it We're
who covered his trials. Immediate
ly they saw that it was indeed Thaw.
Thaw-like, he refused an interview
but said he would issue a statement
soon and didn't. Thaw-lik he was
finicky. After he had removed a
four days growth of beard from his
face and the dust of three states and
Canada from his clothes, he borrow
ed money to get fresh linen and 4
necktie and announced himself ready
for court.
He had retained new counsel, the
best in the place, to fight deporta-
ton. His brother-in-law, George
Carnegie and sister Margaret are
hurrying here to aid him. Later in
the day money began pouring in for
him.
The question of insanity is now
involved in the commitment that
brought him before the immigration
authorities. He appeared merely as
a fugitive from the "pen" at Mat
teawan.
A conference between Thaw's and
the Canadian attorneys indicated that
the arraignment would be postponed
until tomorrow.
The sentiment of the Canadians is
distinctly in Thaw's favor. The great
crowd which greeted him at the sta
tion shouted Let him go. Set him
free. He hasn't done anything to US.
Give him a chance"
Sheriff B. H. Kelsey Of Colebrook,
N. H., who recognized Thaw on the
Maine Central train Monday night
will receive the reward Of $500 Of
itTeu IOI lHe Cdpluic VI ihaN hO
authorities are holding two men who
are supposed to have assisted Thaw
in his escape from Matteawan. They
are charged with being under sus-
picion of having committed an Of
fense in another and friendly ma
ton"
An application for writ of habeas
corpus, requiring the presence Of
Thaw in superior court here was
granted by Judge Gobensky of that
court this afternoon. The writ is
returnable tomorrow.
Ihaw's counsel contended that
Thaw is being detained illegally and
that through habeas corpus, he
should be set free Immediately. A
man giving his name as Mitchell
Thompsons"- who is believed to be
Roger Thompson, implicated in
Thaw's escape, was arrested while
lettering about the court house toby.

LIGHTS WANTED ON
 GASTINEAU CHANNEL

Masters and managers of gasoline launches who ply the waters of Gas tincau channel complain of the dang CT that exists in navigating that DOT ton of the channel leading to the bar where the electric light and power ca bles cross. The place through which the boats must pass is very narrow and hard to find in the dark. On each side there are large signs which in the daytime warn all navigators of the extreme danger of touching the supporting columns of the crossing ca bles These signs, however, cannot be seen after it gets dark Moreover, the columns themselves cannot be seen. At high tide, the time when the chan nel is most used. those posts stand far out in the water and are a source of danger.
 It is suggested that a light on both sides of the channel, one on each of the supporting piles could be kept at a nominal cost If one of the lights should be made green and the other red it would show clearly the exact To- cation of the channel Any sort of light would be welcomed by all the launchmen plying out of Juneau.
