BOY PLUS MATCH;
0RPHANAGE AFIRE
Lad Saves COmrade After
Realizing Desire to
Burn Brooklyn Home.

All the lust for childish vengeance
that usually finds expression in tears
and idle threats surged through the or
phaned soul OF George Zuckel last
night as he saw his prospects Of con-
suming a hot dinner rapidly dwindlng.
While the other ninety-four children

mer Street. Brooklyn. we're reyelling
in steaming soup and hot biscuits, nine
year-old George was performing irk-
some tasks on the upper floors. lie was
making his second trip TO the third
floor when he uttered a wish that has
passed the lips Of thousands Of boys
under similar provocation.
"I'd like 70 burn the old place
down." said George.
Then, possibly because he hnd had
only the affection ard training that

he stepped into an open bedroom and

was making a third visit 20 the upper
floors. when he was dismaycd to hnd
his wish more than realized. Black
smoke was creeping from the closet,
flling the bedrooms To the youthful
mind Of Zuckcl il seemed that every
body would be turned along with the
building.
But even then he didn't forget bis
duty 10 Frank Stuhmacker an eight
year-old companion, who had been sent

where he was sobbing peneath the COW

aroused him. Then, arm in arm, they
raced through the smoke to the main
floor.
Awed and trembling, the pair stood
in the street and watched the arrival
OF the engines, while smoke and flames
curled out of the windows of the only
home they knew. Practically the entire
block IS filed with institutions of the
Church Charity Foundation Society,

LOOKS LIKE NEW OIL AREA.
Westheimer G. Daube Well Gives
Promise of BEING Important

Westheimer G. Daube Well Gives
Promise Of Being important.
A very interesting feature of the
present week at Healdton has been
the Westheimer & Daube well in sec
tion 14-4-3. This we'll had a gas sand
at $50, at zoo feet a 35-foot gas sand
was entered which made probably fif-
teen million feet. Now at S25 the
drill is on top of an oil sand. When
is known that new gas area has
a mile ahead of product ton, when it
is known that a new gas erea has
been opened and when it is seen that
the oil sand found is shallower than
in the wells to the west it will be
realized that the Westheimer &
Daube test means much to Healdton.
What the oil sand will amount to is
not known.
The casing is being lowered and
the sand will be drilled into. This
will probably be done today. 1t looks
now like new oil area as well as a
new gas area has been opened.

ORDER NOT CARRIED OUT.
Producers Want the State to Take
Their Hands OF.

The prospects are very good that
the order made by the corporation
| commission on June 27, in which it
was ordered that the pipe line COM
panies should prorate the oil runs
from Healdton will never be carried
out The presumption was that the
| piled with on and after July l. The
superintendent of the Magnolia Pc
troleum Company received instruc-
! tions from the Dallas office to carry
out the order of the commission and
this company asked the Producers
Refining Company for a list of its
runs. The Producers Refining Com
pany said it noticed that the Mag
nola did not send along a list of its
runs and the Producers did not COM
ply with the request. 1t is claimed
that the Producers line was eXemped
from the common carrier provision
of the law if there is any such thing
as an exemption and that it does not
feel under obligations to take from
all the producers in the field at the
same ratio. The line has contracts
with a number of producers, these
producers made the line possible by
selling cheap oil for a period of
months and it is very natural for the
Producers Refining Company to eX-
press feeling of loyalty to those
companies and to render them the
best service possible under the cir
cumstances. The company does not
want to carry out the order and it
does not have to- The order was
made to meet the demands of ma
iority of the producers and not to
track the law No attempt will be
made to enforce the order but if the
present conditions become unbearable
an order will be issued that will track
the law whethe, it suits me pro-
ducers or not and such an order can
be enforced.
The truth of the situation is about
this, that the state would rather keep
hands off and a majority of the pro-
ducers would rather the state would
keep hands off. The producers say
that the only rule the state can en-
force is one that will prorate the oil
from the sands, such an order would
stop activities in the field, discour-
agment would follow and the next re-
duction in the price of crude. The
field feels now like it has not been
treated fairly on the price proposition
and it does not want to be hampered
any further in any way. They have
adopted the old Clark slogan N the
Lone Star state of "Tuin Texas

Loose" The producers want Heald-
ton turned loose. The producers be
lieve they are better able to handle
their own business than the state is
able to handle it for them. At least
this is the opinion Of a big majority
of the producers. There are some
striking exceptions. There are few
men with small leases, who have no
steel, do not want to buy steel for
so small a production, their neighbors
own steel and are running full runs
and they without s.eel are making par
tial runs only. This class OF pro

ducers is not pleased to have the
field turned loose. These producers
might be able to sell oil to the man
with steel at a price that would beat
building steel for a small production
and that would be better than to
have the field smothered with an or
der that will cut the price on all
the oil and stop activities.

evening, AS the hat OF the driver WAS
found in the road not far from her
place, II is evident that the robber shot
Mr.. Searcy from ambush. and that he
then got on the seat beside the dead
body and held 1t upright while he
drove TO the clump OF willows where
the team and body were later found.
This accounts for the failure of Mr..

must have been instantaneous. The
bullet entered just above the left ear
and passed through the head.
