Denial for Wood.

New York, March 26.-Congressmar 1 Norman J. Gould and Former Con- gressman Thomas w. Miller, eastern campaign managers for General 1 Leonard Wood in the senate today declared they were perfectly will 1 ing to go to the bat on Senator Borah's statement"
 They classed as ridiculous" the charge that General Woods mana gers are trying to dominate" the Chicago convention, and said they were trying to bring General Woods character personal and achievement before the public. The statement suggested that perhaps this attack has been aroused by another victory for General Wood in the South Da- kota primaries.
 The assertion read in the senate that E. L. Doheny, head of the Mex ican Petroleum company had con tributed to the Wood campaign fund, the statement said, was disposed of by MT. Doheny's denial over his sig nature in statement to the press. The managers, the statement added, did not know MT. Doheny and until his name was brougkt up in the sen ate no one at the headquarters had heard of him.

On Larceny Charge.

Roy E. Edwards and Albert
Brzyski, two soldiers arrested here
Friday on charge of robbing o. L.
Barbee, a Louisville taxi driver, at
Highland Park, were held to the
grand jury under $500 bond.
Edwards and Brazyski, both youths
under twenty-one, were arraigned
before Judge Rider Friday afternoon,
aud waived examining trial.
As the robbery occurred in Jefferson
county, the charge against them here
is merely that of driving a stolen
automobile. 1t is probable that if
Jefferson couney authorities desire to
try them on the major offense, the
charge against them here may be
abated. e Town News.

oil almost to the top, but that drill
ing was in progress, looking for
better flow in a lower sand. The J.
E Carnahan Oil Company's well
No. 4 on the Coffey farm near CreeIs4-
bcro, was drilled IN the latter part Of
last week, and while no reliable eS-
innate of its capacity is ventured at
this writing, still it is believed to be-
a good one, and parties who have
seen 1t report it to be the equal Of
No. 3 on the same farm, which
came in a few days since. The
Carnahan Company control several
hundred acres Of leases Southeast Of
Columbia, and they have begun the
movement of drilling machinery to a
location some five miles from town
where they will operate at the earl
lest possible date.
Representatives of the McMead
Oil Company, Jamestown, have been
in our locality for several days past
giving our citizens an opportunity to
become identified with the company,
and in the view of the fact that pro-
duction is alrsady!assured, a goodlY
number are becoming financially
interested in the venture, believing
there are great possibilities arsadY
for the organization.
Mr.. W. f. Coast, a prominent oil
operator from Cincinnati, arrived here
Sunday night and left early Monday
for Creelsboro and other points for
the purpose of getting first hand in
formation regarding Ethis territory.
We are more than pleased to see such
men as Mr.. Coast becoming interested
in the local fields, andlwe are always
ready to give themia hearty welcome.
Latest receivedihere advise that the
Carnahan people are rushing their
drilling outfit to location on the Old
Holiday farm, near lions Church,
and they confidently expect to be
"spudding" in by the rlatter part Of
this week. This will be the first
drilling operationslin this immediate
vicinity since theIpresent boom" has
struck this section, and the results
will be awaited withimuch interest.

the First Presbyterian Church
officiating.
The couple left here the first of the
week and it vas known to only a
few that they would marry in
Lebanon. The parents of the bride
had no object ions to the choice Of
their daughter, and we take it that
the contracting parties made up their
minds to surprise their friends and
have the rites soIemnized away from
home.
The bride is one of Columbia's
best young women. popular with
everybody, and she will be warmly
congratulated upon her return to
Columbia.
The groom is a mem Der of q
prominent Taylor County family,

business at CampbelIsville.

is one of our best young men, and by
those who know him, is considered
one of the most substantial and com.
ing young men IF this city. He is the
senior member of the Taylor & Meth
erland restaurant and confectionery of
this city, and is enjoying a splendid
business.
He is well-known in this community
and he, too, is to be congratulated
upon winning so deserving Columbia
girl. We are informed that the
couple will reside in Campbellsyille,

OIL NEWS.

The production of crude oil in the
State of Kentucky has more than
doubled during the past year.
Another advance last week of 25e
per barrel in the price of Somerset
grade of crude oil brings the present
selling price up to s40O per barrel,
and in instances there is a premium
Of twenty-five cents per barrel
additional. At the present rate Of
production in Kentucky every twenty
Ave cent increase per barrel means an
additional value to the product
annually of 81, 500, 100000. In a private
letter received here a few days since
from Mr.. G. A. Roy, president of the
Roy Petroleum c., he intimates
that they will begin drilling oper-
ations at no distant date in the west
ern portion of Adair. This company
has considerable acreage near Mill
town, and their operations will no
doubt be in that vicinity.
An unconfrmed report has reached
here that Jacksonville, Fla, parties
will drill soon in tina territory near
Knif1ey, this county, and in view of
the fact that these parties have secur-
ed and filed for record here a num-
Der of leases in that section it would
seem the report can be credited.
Representatives of one of the
largest oil corporations in the world
made a flying visit to this section
last week, and while their movements
were surrounded with the utmost
secrecy, still enough information
'leaked" out to warrant the state
ment that they were very much i'm
pressed with the development work
they found progressing in this
territory.

from Greensboro Thursday night re-
ported we'll No2, McMead Oil Co.,
