Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Parker, each
aged about 75 years. died within two
hours OF each other at their home on

married a long time and II is thought
that her aged husband died from grief
over the death OF his companion. Each
had frequently been heard to express q
wish that they would die together OF
at the same time. II would seem, there
fore seem that Providence had granted
their desire.

VANSANT REPORTED
TO Be IN The RACE
FOR CHAIRMAN OF THE DEMO-
CRATIC STATE CENTRAL
COMMITTEE.

Ashland, KY, March 2S.-Rufus II.
Vansant will be a candidate before the
Democratic convention in Kentucky for
position of chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, and if elect
ed, as his friends believe to be certain,
will devote the same energy to pulling
the party together and carrying ii TO
success that he showed in a911, when
he took hold of a disorganlked party
and carried the Ds-e5cratic State tick
ct. headed by Gov. McCreary. to VIC
tory by majority of $1,000.
This announcement, which will ex-
cite interest in every part of Kentucky.
was given out by various of Mr.. Van
SAINTS friends, who called upon tile
! Eastern Kentucky capitalist and busi-
ness man, Monday evening. Mr.. Van
SAINT himself would make no statement
other than ii had been represented to
him so strongly that, by taking this
position, he could save the State cleo
toral vote to President Wilson, that 1t
would be hard for him TO refuse. Mr..
vansant's friends consider the na.ter
as settled and are already in cores
pondence with Democratic leaders ir
every county in the State.
Mr.. Vansant, il is understood, will
enter the race determined not to ac-
cept any political office himself and
equally anxious to rid the Democratic
party of factional disputes and put 1t
, in shape TO win by deserving party
success. The requests that he lake
the race have come to him from so
many different elements inside the
Democratic party, that Mr.. Vansant is
satisfied conditions are such that
large majority of Kentucky Democrats
believe he can lead the party to sue
cess and that success may not other
wise be possible

clinton FORMATION FOUND
IN KENTUCKY OIL field
NEW POSSIBILITIES OF DEEP
SAND DEVELOPMENT ARE
OPENED.

Barbourville, KY, March 26.-The
discovery OF the Clinton sand in East
ern Kentucky's petroleum fields opens
up possibilities Of deep sand develop
ment on larger scale. A test well
in Boyd CO., drilled to a depth of 1920
feet, showed twenty feet of the Clin-
ton formation, with showing OF Pc
troleum. This, the deepest test ever
drilled in Kentucky to show a petro-
leum producing formation at that
depth, may be the forerunner OF devel-
opments which will open a productive
sand far below any now producing oil.
The search for production in the Be
rea grit, the deepest sand now show
ing production in Kentucky. has been
greatly stimulated by the constant ad-
vances in the crude oil market. Test
work started early in the year is begin
ming to bear results. The most recent
wildcat completion was well in Mar
tin-co. completed last week and show
ing good yield below 1920 feet. This
well came in dry and was SO reported,
but when operators returned for an in
spection, after two days, the hole was
standing full of oil, the well having
drilled itself in.
Wolfe, Morgan and Lawrence coun-
ties, developed fields in the deep sand
area, have been making a little bet
ter showing in new production than
formerly. In each of these fields late
strikes are reported, small, however, in
capacity.
Late results in shallow fields show
a decided gain. The largest number
Of competitions in the history Of the
field is credited to Estill-co. for the
week, nine competitions being recorded
Of which only one was a failure. One
well started out at 100 barrels daily
while a number of competitions made
twenty five barrels each.

THREATENED CALAMITY.

Louis Schnarr. according to several of his friends in the city, is contem- plating a new adventure in life. Sev- eral of his intimates are responsible for the rumor. They will neither af- firm or deny persistent and pertinent questions. The fact that Lou is well along in years appears to be no deter rent of his object. nor does the fact that he smokes strong tobacco in a pipe of antiquity. Ed Massey or Judge Toman might be consulted about the matter but if they will not unhurden themselves to the casual outsider any more than they did to the reporter information is useless.
