INVOLVES
VALUABLE
OIL LANDS
w. |. CRUCE EFT AL, HAVE FILED
SUIT AGAINST THE PARAFFlNe
OIL COMPANY FOR CANCEllA-
TIoN OF THEIR CONTRACT.

A suit has been filed with the clerk
of the court that involves some valu-
able oil lands in the heart of the
Healdton field, and is attracting the
attention of oil men throughout this
section.
The suit involves forty acres in
5-4-3, which is proven territory and
is considered very valuable.
Plaintiffs allege in their petition that
they leased this property to the de-
PENDANTS with the agreement that the
property was to be fully developed.
They charge that the defendants have
failed to live up to their part of the
contract and instead have only drilled
in three wells whose initial capacity
would be approximately 500 barrels
daily, but they have so far neglected
these three wells that their capacity
at present is only about 200 barrels;
that, according to the terms of their
contract they should have at least
drilled eight wells and provided am
pie tankage to take care of the pro-
duction, all of which petitioner al
leges, defendants have failed to do
Petitioner further alleges that they
were to receive in consideration of
this lease one sizth of all oil as royal
ties and that by reason of the defen-
dants' failure to fully develop the
property they have been deprived of
many thousands of dollars in royal
ties which they otherwise would have
had, if the property had been fully de-
veloped.
For this and other causes set forth
in their petition. plaintiffs pray that
the contract be set aside and held for
naught, and that the cost of this
action be assessed against defendants
and any other relief deemed proper
by the court. The plaintiffs to this
suit are w. |. Cruce, A. c. Cruce, C. r.
Smith and w. r. Bleakmore The de-
PENDANTS are The Paraffine Oil Co,
the Gypsy Oil Co, the Humble Oil Co,
the Reliance Oil Co, and the Afdmore
Oil Co.

BUNDLE DAY
IS PROVING A
GREAT SUCCESS
BUNDLE DAY is THE MEANS OF
SUPPLYING THE WANTS OF
MANY WORTHY, NEEDY PEOPLE
IN THE CITY.

Bundle Day since its inaguration
has been the means of supplying the
wants of many needy worthy people
in this city who otherwise would suf-
fer this winter, the benevolent society
held another reception yesterday, and
the result was many nice bundles
gathered that were put Immediately
to good use. Fifteen people were sup
piled with clothing yesterday, and
about IS garments distributed, the
benevolent society investigate all ap-
plicationS, and when found worthy,
are never refused. However, they
have been made the victims of people
in the past, who were amply able to
care for themselves, and when they
find that they are about to become the
victims of this class, they refuse them
aid.
Last week ten families were assist
ed in a material way by the society,
not only was clothing distributed, but
Groceries were furnished and medicine
for the sick was given. The society
is greatly elated over the success of
bundle day and assures the public
that if they continue their assistance
every week, no worthy person will
be in want in this city.

which there is uninterrupted fighting.
Operations in the Carpathians are
developing rapidly. and the Austrians'
right flank now is threatened by
the Russian offensive movement.
Near Krasne, east of Lemberg, the
Russians repulsed an Austrian di-
vision, thus checking the movements
of Austro- German forces attempting
to concentrate at Stanislau.
The situation in northern Poland,
however, is regarded as of greatest
immediate importance. The position
of the Germans near Ossowetz is
considered critical, since they are
under attack from the heavy guns
of the fortress and are unable to
bring up artillery owing to the poor
roads. A stubborn fight on the road
to Lomza was won by the Russians,
The only location in that general vi
cinity still in dispte is Przasnysz,
mans are said to have gathered a
large force there.
Along the whole front the Germans
have been proceeding in six groups
The first in the direction of Eyd-
kuhnen; the second toward Grodno
the third around Ossowetz, the fourth
in the district of Lomza; the fifth
in the direction of Przasnysz and the
sixth near Plonsk and Novo Georg-
ievsk. All these groups are keep
ings close to the railroads. Com
munication between them is by cav
airy.
The Russians. now on a previously
prepared line, are believed able to
stop the German advance wherever
it is decided to accept battle.

To GUARD
THIRD AVE.
CROSSING

At the meeting of the city COM
missioners last night resolution was
passed favoring the immediate placing
of a guard at the Rock Island-Frisco
crossing at Third avenue, N. E.
This crossing is getting to be dan
gerous. only last week a wagon was
hit by a locomotive there, and the
horse attached to it was killed, the
driver also being slightly injured. Most
of the switching and making up of
trains is done in the immediate vi
cinity of this crossing now, and the
commissioners thought to prevent fur
ther accidents there by ordering the
railroad company to place guard
and gates there Immediately.
Commissioner Fraley stated that it
was a wonder to him that more people
were not killed or injured at this
crossing. He crosses there several
times each day, and he stated to the
rest of the commissioners last night
that the crossing was positively dan
gerous, and should be made safe at
once. The railroad company were no.
tfed of the action of the board this
morning, but no reply has been re-
ceived yet.
The regular monthly pay roll of city
employees was audited and ordered paid
and few bills against the city were
allowed and warrants ordered drawn

Proposal of United States.

Washington, Feb 2S.-Proposals
have been made informally by the
United States government to both
Great Britain and Germany, suggest

the subject of foodstuffs for the civil

ships.
These proposals have been guard
ed with the utmost secrecy and
their nature has not been revealed

tonight, that a new move had been
made by the Washington government
came dispatches telling of the blow
ing up of second American vessel,

Although it is thought no damage to

contend that the frost was really a

a crop brighter The fruit crop in

past two years, and the owners of or
