FEW HUNS GET
TO PARIS; ARE
JAILED PRONTO

PARIS, Feb. 10--(By Mail) when
a German shows up in Paris, it's a
sensation So far only eight have
succeeded in reaching the French
capital, and all have been quickly
rounded up by the police. The latest
arrival was a wealthy individual,
who just casually came over from
Hanover, He registered at one Of
the best hotels, and kept the police
busy for hours trying to find out how
he got here
Immediately after the signing of
the armistice conditions on the old
fighting front were in a very fluid
state. Getting into France from
Germany or into Germany from
France was an easy matter. Seven
Germans, including a woman, crossed
the frontier at this time and reached
Paris. They came by train with re-
turning soldiers and civilians. All
Immediately were arrested, and ex-
planned that they lived in Paris be-
fore the war and thought that the
signing of the armistice permitted
their return.

Impossible to Verify Rumor that
Well In 36-6-10 Is Producer
at $500 Feet, Says
Cement.
CYRIL PIPELINE IS
TAKING PRODUCTION
Fortuna No. 2 Delivering to the
Tank Cars; Watch Hill Well;
Locations Made; Caddo
Well Flowing.

The report reaching Chickashs
from the oil field this morning to the
effect that the Fortuna No. in So
C-l0 had come in an oil well at $500
feet, seems to be false, according to
information received by phone from
q reliable Cement source early to-
day.
AZ A like rumor was circulated yes
serday evening in Cement, but it was
declared that investigation proved
there is apparently nothing to indi-
cate that the report is correct. This
well was once before reported to be
flowing, but investigation proved
they had been shut down on that day,
waiting for bailer The well is be-
ing watched closely however.
It is also reported that the Hill
well in 1868 has in the last day or
two cased off strong flow of gas
at around 1000 feet. Oil men are
not expecting anything further from
the Hill location before the last of
this week at thee arliest.
The spipe line connecting the For
tuna No. in 6-5-9 is hooked up with
the loading rack and is delivering
Gil to tank cars on the Frisco at Cy-
ril. Several cars have been loaded
,at that point and others are being
loaded there today. They have been
pumping out of tankage thus far and
little additional oil has been taken
from the well.
The we'll flowed yesterday into
.tankage, however, it is reported and
the estimates place the we'll at at
least 200 barrels, the estimators
claiming that this is conservative.
The Cyril pipe line is to be con-
nected iwth the Gladstone No. in
1868, according to present plans,
but the connection has not as yet
been made. 1t is expected that tank
cars will be loaded at Cyril from the
Gladstone by the latter part of the
week, unless the present plans fall
through.
The Caddo No. l in 36-6-10 attract
ed a great deal of attention yester-
day. 1t flowed several times which
served to strengthen the assertion
that the we'll is a real producer Oil
men familiar with the field state
that it will run any other we'll in the
field a close race for first place.
New locations and rumors of new
locations are reported thick and fast
1t is stated now that a location has
been made on the townsite Of Ce
ment, but the parties could not be
checked up definitely.
1t is known that a location has
Seen made in the west half of the
NV of 1853 by Reed, backed by
Blackwell people. Just when opera
tions are to start at this location is
not stated
