OIL FIELD FIRE
LOSS WAS SS5O,OO

The electrical storm OF Thursday
night caused loss of as much as $780,
900 to the Carter Oil company. Eight
of its tanks are located in section 81
4s2w. southeast Of the field. Two Of
these tanks were fired by lightning and
the burning tanks ignited two more.
Three Of the tanks destroyed contained
$4,000 barrels each and one contained
1880 barrels. The tanks are located
500 feet apart and this distance should
give them protection, but the foam Of
a burning tank is fifteen or twenty feet
high and this is carried Off by a strong
gust Of wind and when burning foam
begins TO fall on tank It soon catches
fire.
