charged in Oklahoma City with stealing

had been bought for him by the plain
tiff in the case and AN arrangement
had been made for 1t to be paid for
at the rate Of SO per week. The plain
tiff had promised the young musician
steady employment, but failed to do
so, and the defendant was forced to
seek other employment. He came to
Ardmore, together with other musi-
clans and had made arrangements for
Il few weeks engagement at local
dances. Information furnished by both
the plaintiff and the defendant showed
that the man was not guilty of steal
ing but the deputy sheriff from Okla

who filed a writ of habeas corpus in
the district court and he was released

The Lone Star we'll in section %,
2s2w is "fro2e up at 20S6 feet, with
5-S inch casing. This well is only a
short distance from the new Empire

proven gas district but oil is being
found in a sand below the gas sand
The sparks well in section 80, 2s2w
is shut down at 1850 feet.
This coming summer will undoubtedly
see much activity in what is known as
the Homer shallow oil field. Several
wells have already been started in that
field, and others are making prepara-
tons to drill. one We'll is drilling in
section S, 1s2w; another is drilling in
Section Il, same township and range.
The Square Deal Oil Co. after nearly
a year of inactivity, is going back into
Section ., 1s2w, where that company
drilled a well something more than
year ago and will again start drilling.
The first well drilled by the Square Deal
people found a good sand that promised
for nice well, considering the shallow
depth at about 1900 feet, but water
broke in and could not be shut off. With
the experience gained i'm the drilling of
that well, it is now thought by the
Square Deal people that they can drill
to that sand and control the water.
There is no question as to the oil
being there, and it is only a matter
of controlling the water to make it
profitable shallow well. The Homer
field oil contains extraordinary lubrica-
ting qualities, and the market for that
class of oil is so low now that it stimu-
lates operators to make unusual effort
TO obtain production suitable for lubri-
eating purposes. This is probably one
of the reasons for so much activity at
this time in the Homear field.
