the corporation commission from pro-
hibiting the shooting of wells in the
Healdton field must be decided by the
supreme court. Several days ago the
commission made an order restrict
Ing the shooting of wells in that field
except with the permission of the com
mission. Jake L. Hamon, wealthy oil
man operating in the field, offered a

ferred for several days. 1t is claimed
by the corporation commission that
the promiscuous shooting of wells in
the Healdton district might destroy
the whole field, because the sand is
so loose.
