100 BARRELS A DAY
The Capacity of Forbns Bros. Well
At Brink Haven

Mr.. Irving Forbing Of Brink Haven
was in the city Saturday and stated
that the large oil we'll which was
struck recently by Forbing Brothers
in Brink Haven settled down to a
steady flow of 100 barrels day. The
length of time that this flow will con-
tinue is indefinite, according to Mr..
Forbing.
Prior to striking the we'll, Forbing
Brothers had secured leases on all
territory in the neighborhood of Brink
Haven, so that they have absolute
control over this field. In case out
siders would strike oil in places
where leases are not held, Forbinf
Brothers could place we'll only 6
few rods away.
Excitement over the strike still
runs high in Brink Haven, Mr.. Forb
I ing states.

bullets attain an enormous We.
locity, with extremely high pene-
tration. Had the bullet struck
Mr.. Pugh's body it would very
likely have resulted seriously, as
It's force was far from spent. We
do not believe sportsmen should
use such dangerous arms, as a |
person, if within q half. mile of
The muzzle OF the gun is struck
by the bullet, it is liable to result
In instant death. Mr.. Pugh has
not been able to learn who shot
him up to this writing.
