should have reached the shore"
William James, wireless operator

Captain Belanger of the Eureka told

The jury adjourned the inquest for

Wells in Cushing Field

The oil wells belonging to the boy
are located near Cushing, Okla, sixty
five miles northwest of this place, and
at the end of February-the month
in which the oil well drilling began
there was placed TO the credit of young
Daniels guardian, the sum of $500.
Even this moderate roll was too big
for the boys father, as guardian to
handle in a business way and too large
for him to control any longer unless
he should file in the court a $1,000
bond. This the late guardian could
not do. and under the order of the
court Jim had to be superseded by a
more business-like accountant, and a
man who could give adequate bond to
the court.
In making the payment OF royalties
on Dams land for the month of March,
1914. the Prairie Oil and Gas Company
turned over to the new guardian SILL
OOO. and the court required a bond for
$4,000. At present the sum daily go
ing to this negro boy, measured by the
receipts during March, is S260.

Income Now $500 a Day.

The records of the guardians re
ports are not yet accessible for April,
but it has been aseertained from other
sources that during that month 600
barrel well was brought in on the boy 5
eighty-acre tract, and this will give
him an additional daily income OF
more than $50. bringing his total daily
income up to something over $500, not
withstanding the reduction in price OF
crude oil during April.
This boy and his people live in such
seclusion and humble style that these
facts of the young negro's good for
tune have just reached the public.
