the Other Started.

Liverpool Post: A young cavalry
officer was taking stroll early one
morning, when he came upon one
of his men trying his best to get a
horse to jump fence. After
watching the greenhorn Tor some
time the officer said:
How do you expect to get that
horse to go when you've got only
one spur on!
The recruit looked down at his
boot and added:
"Well, sir, if can only get that
side of the horse to go, the other
one is bound to keep up with him.

The Kirk we'll No. | on the Ben

stimulated interest in the Graham
field to such extent that acreage IS
being sought in all directions IRON
the well and some fancy prices are
being asked and in some cases pad.
Saturday morning the gas was
bradenheaded in and thought to be
under control, but III the afternoon
the pressure became 50 great that
the gas forced its way up between
the 8-inch and the lO-nch casing

situation considerably. Mr. Evans

attempt will be made today to mud

lohn Hivick. the drilcr in charge,
SAYS the well now is only baby
compared to what ii will be when
drilled deeper. A stream OF visitors
to the we'll is constantly passing
through the little town OF Graham,
and the Kirk lease is covered with
spectators. Several other drilling
locations in this vicinity are already
being talked and the probabilities
are that the Graham field will soon
be one OF the busy spots OF Carter
County's oil operations.
Reports that the Tuscania, in sec

not be verified. On the contrary,
reliable information from the field
