CRYSTAL RECEIVERsHlP
Hard-Fought Case Now Before the
District Court Here.

Hard-Fought Case Now Before the
District Court Here.
One of the hardest fought cases
that has been heard in this county
in many months is now being heard
by Judge Freeman on the district
bench. This suit grew out of the ap-
pCintment of a receiver for the Cry
stal Oil company. Ledbetter & Ad-
ans, representing the Crystal Oil
company, filed petition to discharge
the receiver, and the attorneys for
the Crystal made arguments yester-
day. At a session held last night
Guy p. Cobb argued for a. T. Nc
Ghee, upon whose petition the receiv-
er was appointed Thomas Norman,
for 4. T. McGhee, made his argu-
ment this morning, and Ledbetter &
Adams will close. II is believed the
court will announce his decision from
the bench at the close of the argu-
ments of counsel
\ large oil property is involved, and
attorneys are working hard. Ledbet-
Ter & Adams took most of the time
allotted them in reading opinions di-
rectly in point. and visitors at the
court house say they have made
strong case. Mr. Norman is one of
the best attorneys in the state. He
has given much thought to the case,
and it is certain that he also made
case as strong as a lawyer can for
the retention of the receiver. 1t is
hardly probable that the case will be
decided TODAY before the press hour.

SECRETARY GlLeECT CATCHES
SNEAK THIEF AT WORK

Secretary Walter ). Gilbert of the
business Mems association "sheled
the corn this morning. No man that
ever came to Ardmore jumped into
the boosting game more aggressively
and effoctually than he but he
"fcssed up" this morning that faith
that was wavering was restored at
about midnight last night, and in a
remarkable manner.
During the three weeks he and his
family have been occupying their new
home, repeated annoyances have come
up in such a manner as to indicate
that some sneak thief was making
them his victim. 1t started by a
large rug being stolen, then another
rug, followed by a roll of linoleum
and then clothes off the clothes line
Last night, some time after the fam
lily had retired, all were suddenly
awakened by strange noise on the
front porch Gilbert jumped up and
went to the window, and in the hril
liant moonlight, he saw a dog,-an old
tramp which had been pitied and fed
by Mrs. Gilbert, doing his best TO
drag a big porch chair off the porch.
All Of the former articles We're recoI-
cred from the place where they had
been dragged by the canine thief.
"I was beginning to wonder what
had come over Ardmore, said Mr.
Gilbert this morning, "arter gOirg
through an explosion with the record
that not a single instance " thieyery
had taken place, l wondered whether
we were losing our reputation as a
city renowned for honesty"

Change Of Conditions.

A change Of conditions is gradually
being worked in the field. The pro
ducers are getting more money for
theft oil and they are more generous
with the drilling contractors. There
is tendency to put all drilling at
S150 a foot Some drilling has been
done at as low a figure as 81 but
contractors have lost money on theoe
contracts. The cold ard rain and bad
roads have made drilling slow, and
have interfered with the profits OF
contractors.
The contractor has to pay more for
supplies now than formerly. Man
lila drilling cable has advanced from
15c to 23c a pound, and steel has
made two advances recently, one Of
Sc a ton and another of $3.50 ton.
Casing has also made some recent
advances.

Texas Wildcats.

Hugh L. Sturm, who has been
drilling a wildcat well in Uvalde
county, has completed the test to a
depth of 2,625 geet, and the owners
have abandoned it. The Galley q
Bloom well in the south part of
Uvalde county in which Earl Athey
and Ralph Ramsey were interested,
has been plugged at 1900 feet. A
showing of oil was found at 400 feet
and a small well was brought in at
800 feet. The prospects are that a
field exists there somewhere. Whether
deeper drilling will be done is not
known. A well has been brought in
at Coleman, Texas. about $50 miles
southwest of Fort Worth. The depth
is 100 feet, and the production is
estimated at all the way from % to
25O barrels. P. L. Tippit has re-
sumed operations north Of Myra in
Cooke county. That well was drilled
some months ago to 100 feet and it
will be drilled to 1900 feet.

New Well at Maud.

Some interest is being manifested
here in the prospects of new field
at Maud, and The Oklahoman publish
ed today the following story with a
Maud date-line:
The Maud Oil and Gas company did
not drill in its test well near here
Wednesday, as had been planned.
Wednesday, the wind was blowing oil
and gas toward the boiler, and those
in charge of the drilling deemed 1t
unsafe to drill in the well until the
wind shifts. The well continued 10
spray oil Wednesday, and oil scouts
here estimate that the well is pro
ducing at the rate of fifteen barrels
of oil a day. Oil tanks have been
ordered. The gas pressure decreased
slightly Wednesday. The well is in
strictly wildcat territory.
Scouts at Maud.
Several large oil companies. includ-
ing the Gypsy and the Prairie Oil
and Gas companies have sent scouts

here. The Prairie Oil and Gas com
pany has secured oil and gas leases
on several thousand acres of land,
the nearest point being about one
mile from the well. The Prairie com
pany has been indirectly interested
in the well drilled by the Maud Oil
and Gas company, owing to the fact
that the Prairie company gave the
Maud Oil and Gas company about
$1,000 which was used in drilling the
well, and took in exchange a lease on
100 acres of land. The Prairie COM
pany gave the $4,000 for the lease
with the understanding that the mon
ey was to be spent in drilling the
well. The Prairie company also loan
ed an expert driller to the Maud Oil
and Gas company, the latter paying
the driller for his services. The
Prairie company is not interested in
the Maud Oil and Gas company.
May Drill in Thursday.
If the wind shifts Thursday drilling
will be resumed.
Maud is in Seminole county and is
about sixty miles southeast of Okla
hOma City. The main street in Maud
extends east and west to the Po,ta-
watomie county line Excitement in
Maud is high because of the discov-
cry of oil near town. Z. F. Aiken
and p. S. Case OF Maud and II. p.
Douglas of Shawnee have secured
title to the Indian land in Pottamato-
mie county, at the western extremity
of the main street OF Maud and are
plating of an addition to the town.

CHURCH LOT w OIL FIELDS
Arthur Adams Of This City Fighting
for Five Acres at Augusta.


Arthur Adams of this city is in
terested in some litigation which has
been started in the Augusta, Kansas,
oil field. Mr.. Adams father lived
near Augusta, the old home place be-
ing located there. Several years ago
Mr.. Adams gave the Methodist church
a block of land of five acres, to be
used for church purposes. After his
death the heirs sold the homestead.
The church abandoned the property
given it and sold it to farmer for
SlcO. The deed which Mr. Adams
gave the church was deed of trust.
conveying title as long as the prop
erty was used as place of worship
When the church ceased to exist it is
the contention of Mr.. Adams that the
property reverted TO the heirs. The
farmer claiming the tract has drilled
gas well on the property. 1t is the
largest gasser in the field, and gas
from it has been sold for the past
two years to the Wichita Natural
Gas company. The farmer has leased
the property for oil purposes. One
half was obtained by the Southwest
ern Petroleum company which is own
ID by Gunsburg & Forman, and one
half went to another producing com
pany. Mr.. Adams has enioined the
lessees from operating the land until
the question of title is settled. He
has a quit claim deed from all the
other heirs, and is fighting for posses
sion. Reports on the field from pc
troleum engineers state that the tract
claimed by Mr. Adams is in the best
part of the field, and it may be val
liable for oil as well as for gas.
The Adams farm which the heirs
sold in 1903 has the largest wells in
the Augusta district. In fact, all the
big wells are on the farm where
Arthur and Homer Adams of this
city grew up.
