The suit to attach Ford au- tomobile, said to belong to Ben Partin, formerly of this place but who with Mrs. Partin re- gently arrived from San Bernar- dino, California, in the afore- said car, brought by Ed David son as administrator of the es- tate of w. o. Wagner, deceas- ed, to satisfy a note, alleged due the Wagner estate. fell down in Justice B. M. Townsend's court here Saturday morning when Mrs. Partin came in as an interpleader and proved to the jury that she was owner of the car and that it therefore could not be touched to satisfy the obligations of her husband. She stated that she had purchased the car with her earnings from keeping boarders in the Califor- mia city. Before the jury had reported in the Davidson suit, another attachment suit was filed by the Arkansas Valley Bank, garnishment of note for $500 al legged to have been given by Ed Hunter to the Partins.

According to an examination made today every gallon of water taken from the we'll contains from 30 to 35 per cent oil, compared with 15 to 20 per cent previously. Prof. Otto Martin, chemist at the Fort Smith high school, was here today on a visit and made an examination of the we'll.
 He descended eight feet into the big hole and could not re- main more than a minute be- cause of the gas fumes. Prof. Martin said the oil was seeping in rapidly all around the well. He feels confident that the seepage denotes the presence of a large pool of oil near this city. Two years ago Mrs. Bristow dis covered oil in this well while having it cleaned. A nagro doing the work was almost over come by gas when he entered the we'll. Later he placed a burning paper in a bucket and dropped it into the well. An explosion followed which tore off the frame covering over the well.
 It is stated that whenever this section is visited by thunder the flow of the oil has been noticed to increase. Time has elimi- hated all possibility that the we'll has been salted" and every citizen of Ozark is con- vinced that big pool of oil lies nearby. Arkansas Democrat.

We'll Established Produce House
 Locates Here
Fort Smith Man Optimistic in Prospects of Future Ozark and Tributary Territory Will Boom Industry.

Otho Ozment, member of the National Egg and Produce Com- pany, with headquarters in Fort Smith and branch offices at Bonneville, Clarksville, Russell vile and other towns along the Iron Mountain lines, came down Monday of this week and con- summated a deal whereby the above firm becomes owner of the produce business formerly con- ducted by the J. w. BooZman x Sons store at the northeast cor ner of the square. The new firm will handle all kinds of country produce, poultry, eggs, butter, beeswax, hides, etc., paying therefor the highest mar ket prices in cash.
 Expresses Confidence in Ozark.
 Mir. OZmet, in conversation with Spectator representative, stated that his firm had no little confidence in the future of Ozark and considered themselves for tunate in being able to get in on what they termed the ground floor. They expect to build up a large business here which they have done at other places where they have located. It is stated upon reliable authority that poultry raising is one of the most profitable industries in Arkansas though it is probably the least practiced, due perhaps to the un- known possibilities. The terri tory contributary to Ozark is peculiarly adapted to the raising of chickens and turkeys and with our excellent transportation facilities it is predicted that this section will soon become one o1 the leading poultry producing sections of the country.
 From One to Four Cars a Week,
 MT. Ozment stated that when they first went into busi- ness in some of the towns along the Iron Mountain railway they began by shipping out one car, about 2,000 fowls, eacf week and that after a few months they found themselves handling as many as four cars week. It is thought that this old established firm, reaching out for increased business vii have the effect of augmentinl the poultry industry in Franklin county, the possibilities of which are as yet little known, owing tt the fact that little attention has been given the industry and few encouragements held out.
 Mir. Ozment will soon nov,

Early yesterday morning, possibly
before 4 o'clock, unknown parties
tore down some panels of the city
pound lot, on Lloyd and Palafox
streets, and two head of stock, a
COW and calf, were released. These
animals had been impounded few
days ago, and the police were of the
opinion that some one interested in
getting the stock out of the pound
without paying the usual fee is guilty
of the act.
Should the guilty parties be appre-
hended, it will probably mean severe
punishment, and the officers are try
ing to place the blame where it be-
longs.
