The Americans in the sector west
OF Montdidier, however, are ready

The Germans made two minor

Cantigny Monday night and were
repulsed each time. One raiding
party, which numbered 40, was
routed by the revolver FIRE OF the
Americans.
On the right of the American
sector German aviators have been

For number of years there has
been some shallow production OF
high grade OIL in what has been
called the Arbuckle field one and
one-half miles east OF Madill, the
production being found at about
500 feet depth. Since the Kingston
Dome Oil & Gas Company brought
in a small we'll in section q 5s7c,
at 260 feet, interest in that section
has been revived. The oil in the
Kingston Dome we'll is of an al
together different nature from that
OF the early wells in the Arbucklc
field. being much heavier oil,
about 20 gravity. A short distance
south OF the Kingston Dome well
there are several small gas wells
which have been producing gas for
several years, and it is reported that
Madill citizens are now talking or
piping gas from the Kingston dis
trict into Madill for domestic uses.
The Schumacher company is pre-
pairing TO make a deep test, $500
feet, about TWO miles east OF Ma
dill The Kingston Dome Com
pany is preparing to make $500
foot test near Kingston. In the
meantime the shallow sands will be
