Many of the farmers in this vicinity
have come into completeness through
the oil development as the custom is
for one eighth to go to the man owning

fore turned man land.poor farmers

The most recent oil developments
Rave been on the waters of Dents run,
in the thirty-foot development. Fred
Bartlett, the Carnegie Oil Co., and the
Delmar Oil Co. had wells last season
which made from 1900 up to 1000

F. Shumwell and associates of Rich

got splendid well on the John Baker
farm in the extension of the Flat run

Huntington.
On Dents run the Shumwell COM

HARRINGTON, w. Va, Dec. 10
The Warrington oil field has unques.
tionably been the greatest center of
such activity that West Virginia has
ever known. For many years 1.-THE
Warrington field" was used in news
papers and private conversation to in
clude all the activities in this line
throughout West Virginia but in later
years the term has come to mean Man
nington district of Marion county and
parts Of Harrison, Monongalia and
Wetzel counties.
The first oil well in this section
was drilled In on the farm Of D. F.
Hamilton. on Flaggy Meadow run, and
came in in October, 1889; the well was
drilled in by the late Jack Montgom-
cry, who was q character in his day.
Z Col. T. Moore Jackson, Of Clarksburg,
was prominent in the company and
his associates were Prof. !. G.. White,
Of Morgantown; Major A. L. Prichard
end A. w. Prichard, Of Warrington.
When this well was seen to be pro-
Queer an effort was made to conceal
the discovery but Frank and Caleb
Burt, by shrewd observation conclud.
ed that oil had been found and drilled
well near the old Burt tannery which
came In in April, 1890. With the COM
ing of this well, which was called THE
Daisy" the Warrington field was es:
tablished.
The South Penn Oil company soon
became a factor in Mannington's de-
selopment and still maintains offices
here, which represent not only the
South Penn but the Eureka Pipe Line
and the Hope Natural Gas company
T. A. Neal. of Fairmont, is now the
general superintendent of South Penn
activities in the Warrington field.
Among those in this vicinity who
have made fortunes in the oil business
are Frank Blackstone, who got rich
through his holdings, developed by the
South Penn, leaving half million
dollars at the time Of his death few
years ago. John Blackstone, who must
pil activities In this section. Fred
BARTLETT, who is credited with half a
million which came in the last few
years after numerous investments
with SO many failures that man with
less backbone would have given up long
before; John L. and his son, A. ].
Hays, who have been profiting through
The oil business for years but recently
added sufficiently to their wealth to be
included in the half million class; o.
N Koen, who has been active in oil
matters for quarter OF century.
and j. T. Koen, who has been in every
movement to develop Warrington. The
late Charles e. Wells. of Glover Gap,
was a citizen of Warrington as far as
intents and purposes go, having been
born and raised in the town, left an

NAsAociated Press by FEDERAL WnelessD
s WASHINGTON, February 3--An-
Eouncement is made here that Spain
will take over the diplomatic interests
of the United States in Germany.
With the withdrawal of Ambassador
Gerard and all the embassy staff, the
Spanish embassy win conduct affairs on
behalf of the United States and will
probably act likewise for the consular
Offices. nl
The Swiss legation will act in the
same capacity for Germany in the
I nited States. .&t
The entire diplomatic structure rear
ed with so much pains and care
through two and a half years of war
in Europe has crumbled 70 the ground.
All her arrangements to protect the
,tEto.jand half million prisoners of her
own and AIstriatIIungary and Bulgaria
nav held in hostile countries Germany
has sacrificed her frantic effort to get
at Great Britain. Before her desperate
necessity everything else has given way
and she is prepared to abandon her
own II she can reach and destroy the
foe she hates the most In nine coup-
tries German interests have been watch
ed over by the United States during
the months Of the war. The severance
of diplomatic relations puts an end TO
this relation among the others and
Germapv must seek elso,,hera for rep
resertatiyes in the CAPITALS of her foes.
