Plan to Drill Oil Well
In Towns Public Square

Woodsfeld, o., Dec. l5.--A gush-
ing oil we'll in the middle of the
beautiful public square, with various
municipal improvements being paid
for by the revenue.
This unique situation is. possible
here.
Oil men are trying to interest the
city council here in the proposal
that such we'll be sunk. Under
the proposal the city's share of the
revenue from such a well would tie
large.
Inspiration for this move is based
upon the claim that Woodsheld is
on top of big oil pool. The conten-
ton is strengthened by the fact that
a big gusher, drilled next to the city
cemetery and within 300 feet Of the
courthouse, has been flowing inter-
mittently since the top of the sand
was reached few days ago.
The we'll came in snorting and
putting, the golden liquid flowing
over a number of persons and COW
ering the ground with thick layer

A circular bearing a picture of
West together with his finger CLASH
hcation, was found in the annals of
the Bertillon Office. When shown

tectives say, then confessed to his
escape from prison. He was serving
nine months for highway robbery
when he escaped.
Louis Miller alias DR.. L. A. Ty-
son, who was arrested in Omaha
recently for alleged forgeries of the
names of prominent Omahans on

whom West said he assisted in es-
cape.

80 PER CENT OF
MINERSRETURN :

Orders Issued Allowing Bunker

tons on the consumption of bitumin-
Gus coal continued to go by the
board today, as the railroad admin
istration, now in charge of the dis
tribution of supplies, received re-
ports indicating that 80 per cent of
the striking miners had returned to
work. Orders were issued by Di-
rector General Hines allowing bunk
er coal to be supplied to foreign
owned vessels in American harbors
whenever the local supply is stuff
cient to fill the requirements of
coastwise and American owned
ships. Foreign vessels had their coal
supply shut off early in the coal
crisis.
Investigation Halted.

strike settlement proposal offered by
the government and accepted by
the miners was temporarily halted,
while Chairman Frelinghuysen and
members of the investigating sub
committee. considered the policy to
be adopted. 1t was said after long

tee had not decided as to whether it
would formally demand documents
in the possession of DR.: H. A. Gar
field, former fuel administrator, who
resigned because Of his disagree
ment with the settlement proposals,
or as to whether Attorney General

to resume hearings and summoned
