Who was itH A Warren p states
that an old veteran from Tionesta stopped
over at the Revere House 10 Warren Sun
day and he complsin'd of being touched
while en- route home from Gettysburg.
Fortunately he had spent all his money
excepting a few pennies and the fellow
who lifted his worn purse was not re-
warded for his chances. We place little
credence 10 this story, as every one of our
sold boys" returned from the great
gathering In fine fettle aud with their
wallets and good horse sense all intact, be
1t said TO their credit.
Recent rains have brought the river

Bruce Stitzinger is home from a three
months %sojourn in the Roumanis oil
fields, where he was sent by a California
oil we'll supply house to set up a new
drilling rig for The Oil and
Drilling Trust of Roumania, Limited, an
English corporation. He went from Taft,
California, where he has made his home
for several years past, and to which sec
ton he expects soon to return. While in
Roumania he made his headquarters at
Bucharest, the capital. The oil field is
extensive, the production large, and the
is of a good grade. The wells run from
1000 to 5000 feet in depth. Their meth
DDS of drilling are away behind the times
and they ale lately getting up-to-dste
machinery. Bruce says he
the country more than the peo-
pie and that America is good enough for
him.
H. NJ. Thomson, one of the many
energetic young men who drifted with
the tide Of oil developments and made
good, until he landed in Bartlesville,
Okla, where he has been settled for a
number OF years, writes from there in re-
his subscriptions: "Mrs. Thorn
son left IN the 2Sth OF June for Center.
Vile, Venango county, to visit her folks
who are growing old. She expects to go
up to Tionesta later and visit our relatives
and friends for a short time. We are To-
Gated seven miles southeast of Bartles-
vile, on a lease. Have been here two
years. l have a good horse and buggy
and can drive to town often. The
is very hot and dry here; haven't
had any rain for a long time. Gary, our
youngest boy, and ! are 'batching IT,
the Mrs. is absent, and we are
along nicely. l wish to be re-
to all old friends and hope
hey are all as well as we are at the
tune" The many old friends OF
Gully" would be pleased to have a visit
rom him also, we can assure him.
