HOME OIL co. SECURES es
 STANDARD OIL DRILLER
Especial to Coconino Sum-

PRESCOTT, Arizona, May 29.-- Trimming over with enthusiasm and bearing the best of good news for the fortunate stockholders of the Home Oil O., Secretary w. R. Mcconnell re- turned last night to Prescott, bring ing with him c. F. Stamps, of Coal inga, Cal. Stamps has been with the Standard Oil Go. for the last fifteen years as driller and in charge of oper. ations in various fields.
 It was not without difficulty that Secretary Mcconnell secured the serv- ices of the Standard Oil veteran, who has drilled more fields and knows more. about the oil game than most people. His services assure the Home stockholders that the drilling opera tions will be handled in the most ex- pert way with the maximum of speed and minimum of expense.
 Stamps plans to look over the Chino Valley field tomorrow and will then go at once to Texas, where he will take charge of the drilling operations of the Home Oil Co.,, and where he hopes to add few more to the all ready long list of producers.
 Recent telegrams show that there is no abatement of the excitement in the Duke-Knowles field where the most valuable acreage of the Home Oil Co. is located. Three great wells, with production from HOO to 2,500 barrels per day, have been Drought in on ground surrounding the Home Oil Go. holdings.
 The Haskell holdings of the Home Oil Co. are in great demand and the company refused an offer that was made in high figures. The Haskell derrick is being built and it is expect ed that the drill will be dropping in a few days, The officers of the Home Oil Co. have every confidence in this ground and propose to deevlop it for the benefit of the stockholders.

DRINKING STRANGER
 FINED $100.0O BY COURT

Assistant County Attorney George Harben and Deputy Sheriff Bill Hick- lin were the cause the other day of the county becoming $100 richer. They were returning from Williams, where they had gone on county business; sitting in the train, Harben happened to look over his shoulder and spied a companion traveller holding up a bottle of whiskey. The man smiled at the world at large, showed his bot tie to those about him and then turn ing the bottom end of the bottle heav- onward, proceeded to imbibe. Harben called Hicklin's attention and the un- dersheriff went back and sat down by the side of the happy pilgrim. Bill asked, You've got some whiskey, have you?" and the stranger answer ed, "Yes, and it's paid for, too" "Got any more," queried Hicklin. Sure" was the reply. And opening his grip he showed Hicklin two pint bottles of the antique stuff.
 As they neared Flagstaff Hicklin told the stranger he guessed he would have to get off here. The man, who later gave his name as Harry Wilson, protested, saying that he had a through ticket to Chicago; but he finally yielded to the urgent invitation of our hospitable official. He was later fined $100, which he paid, and had left $16 with which to make the journey to Chicago.
 He left saying that Flagstaff was fine, and that he had been treated all right. Evidently he was glad to es- cape jail sentence.

 He had lived in Seligman for 20 years, and while his death was not un- expected, it left place in the com munity life that will be hard to fill. He was 67 years of age at the time of his death.
 Funeral arrangements are in charge of the Flagstaff Undertaking Parlors. The service will be held in the chapel of that firm tomorrow; the hour has not been set. Interment will be in the Citizens cemetery, this city.
