BIG GAS FLOW AT WEISER
Citizens of the Southwestern Idaho
Town Excited Over Find
Well In City

Weiser, Idaho-Considerab ex-
citement prevails here over what
promises to prove permanent gas
field, which was struck almost in the
heart of the city. The strike was
made Friday evening at a depth of
400 feet by drillers who were driving
a well on the property of John e.
Warren. The blaze shoots up several
feet from the top of the piping, which
extend 80 feet above the ground.
The torch was applied Friday night
at o'clock, and strong blaze shot
up throughout the night. Chris Mills,
who has charge of the drilling, states
the flow is an exceptionally strong
one and favorable indication, con-
sidering the depth.
A rumbling noise is heard in the
bottom of the we'll, which indicates,
$50 experienced oil men say, that a
stronger flow will be tapped as depth
is reached. The work of sinking the
well several hundred feet more will
no doubt be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible
The flow already struck is said to
be sufficient to supply several homes.

CRIMINAL LEFT TOWN

The man, who was before Police
Judge ]. E. Good last week charged
with following couple of girls and
insulting them repeatedly until the
father of one of them came out and
interfered with his fists, disappear
ed from town during the recess of
the court. AS stated last week, the
mans guilt was shown, and the judge
evidently decided to punish him, but
instead of doing it, he told him to
go on about his business but to come
back on Saturday to be sentenced.
The fellow was a transient, whom
nobody seemed to know, yet he was
allowed to go ON his own recogniz-
ance. The father who protected the
girls is trying to figure out what the
court is for anyhow

DESTROYED SWIMMING POOL

The swimming pool located at the

rink has been filled up. 1t was about
seven or eight feet deep at one end
and sloped gradually to the shallow
end, distance of about IS feet. The
width was about IL or IA feet, and
all it needed to make it the boys

springboard and the safety ropes
usually placed across swimming pools
for holding to. A cement lining
woud have made 1t more cleanly, and
an electric water heater installed in
nook at the bottom would have kept
the chill off Of the water at slight
expense.
The graders engaged in making the

GREAT FLOOD OF GOLD
COMES TO THE U. s.

New York-So great has been the
tide of gold poured into New York
to pay the war bills of the belliger-
ent nations that the task of melting
1t up to be turned into United States
coin has almost overwhelmed the en-
ployees of the United States assay
office here. They are working longer
than they ever did before, but the
piles of coin in bullion deposited by
bankers grow instead of diminishing.
Ordinarily about $1O0,O00,OO0 in
gold passes through the assay office
in a year. Since July the office has
received and melted more than $82,-
100000 worth, and nearly $3S,O00,-
