A FRIEND.
aArH OIL EXCITEMENT.

Owingsville KY, Feb. 20.--The err
element over the discovery OF oil in
the region near Olympia, southeast, OF
this place, continues 10 grow. The no.
tells at salt LICK and Olympia cannot
accommodate the inflow OF guests. and
some OF them come as far as Owtngs-
Vile for lodging. As an instance OF the
eager demand for oil leases on land in
the neighborhood is the experience OF
Miss Mary Pergram. who owned about
two acres OF land not far from the
newly discovered oil wells. This land
was almost worthless for agricultural
purposes. and all the timber had been
cut off OF It. Miss Pergram had been
trying to sell II for years and asked
only 500 for 1t. But an oil operator
from the Estiil county fields has Just
taken a lease on this small tract OF
land for one year for $1,000, and If he
does not develop II in that time he Is
TO continue the lease at 800 year I'M
Ill he does develop IL or It becomes evil
dent there is nothing there 10 develop.
Miss Pergram is also 10 receive one
eighth of the product should there be
any. There have been other similar
transactions.
A new well is being drilled on w. F.
Dickersors place in the town OF Salt
Lick. Other machinery is being brought
into the field, and many wells will be
sunk in the near future.
Operators who were successful in
helping to develop the Estill county oil
fields are especially enthusiastic in re-
gard to the prospects OF this new field.
and many OF them have secured leases
and others are trying TO get In on the
ground floor. Arrangements have been
made 10 sink wells at Wyoming. two
miles north OF Olympia.

ROBBERS ARE BUSY

Two mon who were arrested sew
eral weeks ago as suspected with
having robbed the Ordway postoffice
last summer seem to have been busy
at their game of robbing of late.
These men were confined in Jail in
Ordway for some time and later were
taken to Pueblo, where they were
placed in Jail, awaiting further inves-
tigation. No tangible evidence could
be secured and they were released.
The first night following their liberty
in Pueblo safe in theater was
robbed and a good sized sumo of
money obtained. and from that time
on number of robberies have taken
place in southern colorado. 1t is
now generally believed that the men
who did the robbing were the ones
who robbed the postoffice here and
that these two men were the ones.

LOADED FREIGHT CARS
SEDETRACKED IN ORDWAY

The local board CT the National
Food Administration, composed of
William Edgar, John B. Estes and
l.. l. Giffin, the first of the week
made an inspection of the freight
yards to check up the cars on the
various tracks. The committee dis
covered thirty cars of steel plate
and thirty cars of cotton, consigned
to somewhere in China. The govern
ment has placed an embargo on the
expectation of these commodities,
and as a consequence the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad refuses to ac-
cept them from the Missouri Pacific.
1t was further discovered that these
cars have been in the Ordway yards
for two weeks.
This is one of the most important
"Snds" made by the various boards
of the state, and will be handled di-
rectly from the Denver headquarters.
The releasing of these sixty cars for
immediate use will greatly aid in re-
lieving the car shortage in this To-
cality and over the state.
