Another Biq Gasser.

The bringing in of another "gasser"
in the Fox field was the sole topic
of conversation on the streets today
and while there was no concealment
of disappointment because it was not
oil there was no disposition to conceal
the importance of the result of the
drilling on the Matte Morris lease.
One prominent oil man said Every
body comedies that there is q big
pool near that gas. Some Of the big
gest companies and notably the Gypsy
company brought in the we'll yester-
day are confident that when it is
reached it will prove the sensation of
the state. There will be nocessation
but on the contrary the activity will
be renewed with feversh haste as
every company who is drilling or an
ticipating drilling wants to be the first
to bring in the big gusher if one is
there. SO to the real future of that
field there can be no question. Two
wells are producing and with such
tremendous gas pressure there is oil
somewhere right close and whenever
the drill loosens it up we are going
to see a sight worth seeing. At least
that is my guess"
In the meantime it is said that the
Gypsy company is going to endeavor
to shut off the gas and go deeper,
The pressure at tine Lucinda well
however was so great that this was
impossible and it may be so in this
case. If so another drill will have
to do the work of reaching the OIL

Healdton Field Statistics.

In the Healdton oil fields during
the month of December, three wells

pleted, SO wells are drilling at this
time, 43 rigs are up and building, the
total number of producing wells in

MAN DROWNED YESTERDAY
 LIVED AT GURDON

Ralph Evans, 19 years of age, who was drowned yesterday morning in the Little Missouri river, near Cham blee's Springs, was a resident of Gurdon at the time of his death. hav- ing formerly been an employe of the Iron Mountain railroad, but was on a vacation at the time. His remains were shipped this morning to his par ents at Bryant, Ark.
 Sam Arnett, who was in the boat at the time Evans was drowned, said they were out in the middle of the river fishing, and he, Arnett was in the front of the boat and Evans in the rear. Hearing a splash in the water, Arnett says he turned round and saw the drowned mans feet go- ing over the side of the boat. He waited about minute for the body to reappear, which it failed to do and he rowed to the bank and secured a pair of hooks and dragged the bot tom. The body of the dead man was caught on the hooks in less than five minutes. The only explanation of the failure of the body to reappear is that life must have left him before he hit the water, thereby causing the body to sink.
