EXPLOSIVE USED
BRINGS |NPRODUCER
WELL DRILLED IN 1910 AND
CLASsED AS DUSTER, TURNED
INTO PRODUCER BY SHOOTING.

At $50 yesterday afternoon, under
the direction of officials of the Santa
Fe Oil Company, experts shot a well
in the Oil City oil fields. The well
was sunk in 1910 and has been
classed a duster At the beginning
the we'll produced a little gas and
a very little oil, but SO little that
all pumping on 1t was abandoned a
short time after the drilling had been
completed Yesterday large crowd
OF curiosity seekers, together with
a number who are heavily identified
with the oil interests of this county,
drove out to Oil City to witness the
test of shooting this well.
The hole was charged heavily
with nitro glycerine compound and
at half past five in the afternoon
the switch OF the battery was thrown
over and the charge detonated. There
was no apparent immediate results.
No oil, water and sand mixture,
flared into the air. But in fe%
moments after the shooting, subter-
ranean mutterings and gurglings
could be heard and the crowd took
to its heels in expectation Of being
sprinkled with the crude product
Of the earth's bowels. They were
not, however.
Those in charge of the work state
that there is no question but that
the original dry hole has been turn
ed into a rich prodlter. The full
extent of the success of the expert
ment can not be known, it is stated,
until the hole has been cleared out.
Neither can it be determined until
such a time, whether the sand in
these fields will stand shooting, but
1t it thought that 1t will. In event
developments show the success of
this adventure which it is thought
they will, a number of other holes
heretofore considered as dry, will be
shot at an early date, as well as
number which have been light
producers at best.

Ad Byers is a negro. Also he is
a man. And also, being man,
he is trusting and guileless. Bully"
Graves is also negro. She is a
woman. "Bully" got into trouble
with the jolice few days ago and
had handsome sized fine slapped
against her. She asked the judge
to let her go out and raise the
money Permission was given her
and she raised the wind. She raised
it by borrowing half dollar here
and half dollar there, from whom
soever she met who chanced to be
OF the masculine persuasion. No
man was barred and the color line
was not drawn. In her round up or
the shekels, "Bully" touched Ad for
half a simoleon. She said she
ould return the money, or deliver
its equivalent within few days. Ad
believed here and was foolish enough
TO hink he would again see the color
Of the hair on the head of the God
dess of Liberty which adorned his
pocket-piece. Several days having
passed and the debt remaining unpaid
Ad asked "Bully" to come through
when he chanced to meet her on the
streets of Coontown yesterday even
ing. She gave him the merry widow
smile and the glad ha! ha! Now
II was bad enough to be worked for
mark, but no woman could work
him and then laugh at him. So Ad
proceeded to do things. He drew
back his good right hand, which is
about the size and weight OF prem
ium ham. and he swatted a fly which
chanced to be sitting on the side of
"Bully's" nose. Bully" could not
stand for such treatment. So she
forthwith called large. healthy ap-
pearing policeman and had Ad
brought before the mayor. After
hearing the stories of both sides and
reminding Ad that fool and his
money soon comes to the parting
I of their ways, Mayor Roberts gave
him a juicy little bundle which will
call for twenty odd days labor on
the z>reets of the city.

EASY TO POISON
CRASSH0PPER PEST
"cRIDDLE MIXTURE" WILL Ex-
TERMINATE NEW MEXICAN
PLAGUE, 1T is SAID.

Washington, May 2S.-The grass
hopper invasion of northeastern New
Mexico, a telegraphic report of which
reached the department of agricul-
ture today from A. G.. Hammer, one
of it's agents, is not causing alarm
among officials here.
Professor F. NJ. Webster, in charge
of insect Investigations. said today
the pest was not likbly to spread
over a large territory as it could
be successfully fought before 1t mad
Travelled far or done much damage
to crops. The report from Mr.. Ham
mer shows it is the "differential
grasshopper," not the fast moving
variety which spread over nearly
the entire country in the sos.
Mr. Hammer reports that about 100
square miles, most OF 1t grazing
country and sparsely settled, had
been attacked and that the swarm
DrODaDly OTlSilidtou iio' o
settled in that section last fall.
But a simple means Is at hand
for exterminating the plague said
Professor Webster. "All farmers have
TO do is to make 'criddle mixture,
composed of a half barrel of horse
manure, one pound Of salt and one
pound of paris green. If the manure
is not fresh the salt should be dis
solved in water
"The grasshoppers will eat this
readily and can be poisoned by mil
lions. This New Mexican invasion
need not cause great alarm, for sim
liar outbreaks occur in some part OF
the country every year and pass
away without having done very great
damage"

Greeks Charged With Killing En-
tire Bulgarian and Turkish
Population of Pravishta -
POWERS EXPECT WAR
TO RUN SELF OUT
Greece and Servia Withhold Re-
plies To Russia's Proposal
For Peace

LONDON, July i5.-The Bulgarian
government today officially charged
the Greeks with massacres and 9th er
atrocities equally as horrible as those
charged TO the forces under Czar Fer
cinand at Seres and other points. The
government declared that on enter
ing the town of Pravishta. the Greeks
massacred practically the entire Bull
garian and Turkish population.
The Greek and Servian forces con-
tinued their advance today and the
Greek commanders predicted that the
next big engagement would be fought
on Bulgarian territory. The most en-
couraging news TO reach Sofia is that
General Ivanoff has effected "splen-
did retreat" and the Bulgarians still
have hope OF a last stand on their
border
Diplomats today accepted the utter
ances Of Sir Edward Grey before the
house OF commons as the attitude OF
the great powers would take toward
the Balkan conflict. The foreign sec.
retary declared that though the war
was horrible, II was so exhausting
that il should soon run itself out. He
said would be difficult for the pow
ers TO bring about peace by force.
Their work he said, was TO perfect
and maintain an agreement and avoid
any complications.
Neither Greece nor Servia has re.
piled to Russias peace proposals and
a Belgrade report states that Bulgaria
has suggested terms for an armistice
direct TO Servia.
