j. l.. Nildren of the Carter Oil com

He was near enough to hear the re-

hurried to the scene asked him to

of the family here can scarcely be-

although he was placed under arrest.
Mr.. Mildren said soon after the shoot

grief.
A dispatch from Grandfeld to the
Oklahoman says:
Herbert Irby was arrested here

An Interesting Feature.

The Harris-Strawn OH company in
section 1888 has completed two
rows of wells on the south side of
its property next to the field. No. II
was the last well completed and is
making 100 barrels. The north row
of wells, which are the farthest from
the field, is producing more oil than
the row on the south. 1t may indi-
cate a fold at the edge of the field
and it may indicate that the oil
sands extend farther up into section
SO than has been expected. Section
33 might spring some surprises,
somewhat like section 81 did IN the
same township.

Sinclair Oil and Gas company has
begun construction work on six steel
tanks to be erected in section }5-}-4.
The grades have been started. War
rem City Tank and Boiler company
is furnishing the steel and building
the tanks. This number of tanks
was first reported as being fifteen,

From Love County.

Oil news and notes taken from the
Marietta Monitor:
Another test for oil is to be made
east of town and this well will be
the closest to town of any that has
been started in the county up to this
time. The well is to be drilled by
the Minnesota Oklahoma Oil and Gas
company and is to be on Harvey
Bros land in section 23, just two and
a half miles from town. That they
mean business is evidenced by the
fact that work of erecting the der
rick has been started and as soon as
the machinery arrives and put in
position the work of drilling will be-
gin.
The machinery for the well which
is being drilled on J. E. Roses place
in section S-7-1, was hauled out to the
location Monday and the work of
drilling will be started as soon as the
work of adjusting the machinery can
be done. This is one of the most
important tests in the county and
will be watched with interest by the
oil fraternity of the state, also by
local people.
The Okla-TeX well is drilling at
about 1000 feet, and indications are
good for an oil field of large proper
tions being developed here. Much in
terest is being taken by the large
companies in this test and scouts for
the large companies have been here
the past few days trying to secure
acreage in the vicinity of the well,
and some very fancy prices for leases
are being offered.
The well at Pike is drilling at about
1900 feet, and indications are very
favorable at this location as the for
nations all the way down have been
extremely good and a good showing of
oil was encountered last Sunday.
w. A. Thompson has been looking
after the Interests of the Carter
Love company in the Healdton field
this week. Their No. 2 well was to
have been started Tuesday but they
have been having some trouble and
Mr.. Thompson is there this week
arranging that part of the work.

well on r. II. Thompson's place Tues
day They are working three shifts
and expect to put in twenty-four
hours every day. At last reports
they were down to a depth of some
thing over 100 feet.
The Burford well in 1862 is re
ported to be at a depth of about 17OC
| feet and they have had the third dose
of salt water. However, the location
has not been condemned by any
means, and Mr. Burford is very con
| fident that he will yet bring in good
paying well at this location. He
expects to reach two thousand feet
| this week, and if a paying oil sand
is not reached at that depth he will
continue to drill to $500 or 5000 feet
The Waco Petroleum company on
the Cal Stewart place have been de-
layed this week on account of being
out of wood They have been laying
off waiting for their supply of wood
to be replenished and as they now
have a large supply of wood on hand
they will resume drilling in the next
few days. They are reported to be al
depth of about 500 feet.
The Life Stake well four and a
half miles northeast OF town, is drill
, ing at 2250 feet and they are still in
the black shale which they have been
in for some time and which is satu
rated with oil. The company is high
ly elated over prospects here, and
expect to get paying well before the
neyt 100 feet is drilled

He watched his chance till the coast

Then sneaked away for glass OF
beer.
Without a doubt" he said, this
Is the rankest brew | ever quaffed."
Then back to his rake and leaves he
went.
Kicking himself for the jitney spent.
lie raked and raked, then raked
some more,
his hands were blistered, his back
was sore,
Now and then he gazed about.
To see II Maude was coming out.
But nary sign of Maud was seen.
TIL up drove pas new gas machine.
Then from the house she traipsed
with ma.
Now bark to what Maud said to pa
Give me that rake till | show you
how,
To rake up leaves, just watch me
You mustn't hold the rake that way:
You're rakinE leaves. you mutt, not
hay.
Large beads OF sweat are on your
brow,
You'd think you drove a three-horse
pillow.
You'd puff like a horse that's got
the heaves
And all you've done is to rake up
leaves.
You make me tired the way YOU
rake:
Don't look like that. for heavens
Just take II easy. watch my style:
Don't try to make TOO big a pile.
Here, take your rake and never say
That you can't beat me raking hay"
Maud and her ma waived pa adieu.
As down the street their auto flew.
And as pa leaned upon his rake,
Quoth he. you women take the

Wearing sad, detected air.
His term of Judge expires this fall,
He ran again. but that was all,
And now the gossips of the town.
