HAUL CASING To
COSMOS TEST IS
COMPANY ADVICE
Definitely Locate Pipe for Well;
Probably Cement Early Next
Week; No Date Announc-
ed for Drilling In

A string of eight and quarter, 80
pound casing has been definitely To-
Gated by the Cosmos Petroleum COM
pany, according to information given
out this morning at the local offices
OF the company and it was stated
that the job of moving this pipe to
the location would probably be com
pleted this week.
The casing, in this event, will
doubtless be run early next week
and the job of setting and cement
ing it on top of the 2442 foot sand
should be completed Monday or
Tuesday of next week, it was esti-
mated.
As general rule, the cement is
allowed to set at least ten days to
two weeks before the well is drilled
in, which would bring the drilling
in process up to about the second
week in November. No information
as to the probable time Of drilling
in was given out by the company
officers today, however, it being
pointed out that the success in set
ting the easing and cementing the
pipe would have a bearing on the
final test when the we'll is drilled in.
c. o. Jaggers, president of the
Cosmas company, has intimated
that when the time comes to drill
the well in, it will be made known
in order to allow the public to be
present, if desired to see whether
the well is a gusher or 'bloomer'
There are those in Chickasha who
are sl5eptical about the we'll being a
producer, and again, there are others
who believe in the proposition. This
morning there was an offer made of
even money in any amount up to
$500 that the well would be a pro-
ducer, but there were no takers.

tried to bar their way. One of the
robbers fired point blank at him and
he fell wounded.
Entering the coach the bandits
fired several shots through the roof,
awakening the passengers, who
were still in their berths.
The passengers were then lined
up and marched to one end of the
ear where they were guarded The
highwaymen then felt under the pill
lows in the berths and searcehd the
clothing of the disrobed passengers
or watches and money.
After having rifled the car, the
highwaymen leaped from the train
and disappeared.
The alarm was given as quickly as
possible and search for the wild
west performers was started. Half an
hour after the robbery, two brothers
we're arrested. They were taken to
he train coach where they were
identified by the passengers as the
bandits who had robbed the coach,
