The Ranola Oil Company, III
Stephens County, section IA ls9w, is
on a sand at 2,249 feet, about lOO
feet lower than the sand in the Mag
nolia discovery well.
The Triangle Oil and Refining
Company, composed principally OF
Ardmore people, is starting a deep
test near Shamrock, Texas. Some
shallow wells have been drilled
there, getting small production at
about 1888 feet.
The estimated daily production OF
the PA field is now placed at /oO
barrels, from wells i'll sections a. Is
and 23. There are 10 wells drilling
and about 30 producing wells i'll the
three sections named.
The Palacine Oil Company has
taken a long time lease on the lot
formerly occupied by the Porter
Staples store, opposite the northeast
corner of Central Park. A brick
and concrete building will be erect
ed by the Palacine Company on this
lot, designed especially for a drive
in filling station, where autos may
drive in at one entrance, get their
gasoline and oil, and drive out the
opposite entrance or exit. This ar
rangement will do away with the
necessity of driving around the cor
ner OF the street in compliance with
traffic regulations. This new fill
ing station, it is promised, will be at
least the equal OF anything of the
kind III the state.

Minnie E. Rush, daughter of Mrs.
Stevens of Blythedale, Mo-, was
born June IS, 1894, in Leon, Iowa,
and died at the General Hospital,
Kansas City, Feb. 2, 1918, aged %
years, Z months, 16 days.
She had been in general training
since September "a, 1916, for work
as a Red Cross nurse, and was taken
sick with meningitis while on duty.
1t was thought that she was out Of
danger and getting along nicely
when a turn for the worse occurred.
She is. to be. numbered with those
who give their lives for the nation,
for had she lived, she would have
been found in France.
She leaves mother, one brother
and sister with many friends to
mourn her departure. We extend
our heart felt sympathy to those
who mourn.
The body was shipped to Blythe
dale on Monday and taken to Eagle
vile for interment. Elder A. C.

WOMEN DESTROY BOOZE.
Took Ten Quarts of Whis-
key Away From Sheriff at
Princeton

A delegation of Princeton women
who are against the illegal sale OF
whiskey in this county, met Sheriff
r. S. George last Sunday Just after
the south side Of the square and took
ten quarts of "Oid ,Hayner" whiskey.
They opened the grip and took the
bottles out which were all quarts
and broke them on the sidewalk run
ming south on the east side of the
Cockrell building.
arrested Roy Meinecke as he stepped
off the Rock Island train No. 12 and
took away from him a grip contain
ing ten quarts of whiskey. The train
was a couple of hours late and the
sheriff brought his prisoner up eswn
county jail. On account Of it being
so late he was unable to get into the
vault in the court house, so he took
the grip containing the whiskey to
his room in Mrs. Gains residence and
kept it there over night intending
to take it to the court house the
next day.
In some way the women of the var
ious churches heard of the arrest
and that the sheriff had the booze
in his possession and they decided to
wait on him after church and de-
mand that he turn the liquor over
to them. Church was just out and
they had started down to his room
and met him in front of the Cock
rell building with the grip on his
way to the court house. The wom-
en- crowded around him and before
he knew what was up several OF
them grabbed hold of him while
others jerked the grip away from
him and before he could get loose
had opened the grip and taken the
bottles out and broke them on the
cement sidewalk. The sheriff was
considerably ruffled up and ihe put
was turned loose by the ladies'. but
by this time the booze had all been
destroyed and the grip thrown away.
