tanks had been rushed to the scene

AS to the output of the new well,
that is matter of conjecture, and
one mans guess is as good as
another's. 1t may be a $50 barrel
well and it may be, capable of pro-
ducing much more. The real test
will come when the pump is hook

gainsaying the fact that it will earn
handsome dividends for the stock

evenly over the casing walls. Then
it would recede for seven minutes.
After a seven minute respite the
flow would come back again. This

days after the strike was made.
After that it seemed to gain in
strength, and just before the well
was capped, was flowing little

NEGRO IS WANTED
FOR SHOOTING
Sheriff and Deputy Black Are Targets
at Gouldins.

Eugene Wright, colored, is being
sought by the sheriff's office on charges
of assault with intent to kill as the
result of a cutting and shooting af-
fray at Goulding late Saturday night
in which nine shots were fired by the
sheriff, Deputy Black and the negro
without anyone being injured, Shep-
taken to the Pensacola hospital short
ly before midnight Saturday, suffer-
ing from knife wounds in the back
and neck alleged to have been made
by a weapon in the hands of Wright.
Sheriff Whitaker and Deputy Black
hurried to the negro dance hall at
Goulding to arrest Wright for the cut
ting and found that he had gone home.
The sheriff and deputy started after
Wright and met him and his another
coming back toward the dance hall.
Wright is alleged to have been car
rying a double barreled shotgun, and
when he was ordered by the sheriff to
surrender is said to have fired both
barrels at the officers, without effect
Wright then turned and ran and
Deputy Black fired five times after
him. The sheriff is said to have fired
twice, but none of the bullets took
effect so far as is known. The fugitive
was still at large last night although
an unconfirmed report was made that
he had gone to Ex- Sheriff Van Pelt
and surrendered.
