IN DANGER OF RABIES
Many Persons Bitten by Dog Found
 to Have Been Diseased.

Little Rock, July 25.-An examina- tion of the brain of a bulldog which Saturday attacked and bit 15 or 20 persons, including several children, and also bit several dogs at Texarkana made yesterday by Dr. c. w. Garrison state health officer, revealed that the dog was afflicted with rabies. Doctor Garrison immediately notified the may or and city health officers at Texar- kama and urged them to locate all the victims of the dog and give the pas teur treatment.
 The head of the dog was brought here by c. s. Lewis of TeXarkana, owner of the dog, who was the first victim. MT. Lewis said that the dog bit his hand while he was playing with it in the yard of his home, and that it then ran down the street for several blocks attacking every person it met. MT. Lewis said he did not know the number of persons bitten.
 Doctor Garrison has ordered that all the dogs known to have been bit ten be killed or placed in isolation for six weeks. The hospitals at Tex arkana, Doctor Garrison said, are equipped for administering the pasteur treatment, and he has requested the mayor there to ask for donations to provide funds for any of the dogs victims who cannot afford to pay for the treatment.
 The dog, which was family pet, was we'll trained, MT. Lewis said, and often went to the car line, a distance of several blocks from home, to meet the children and accompany them home.

VOLUME xxIII.
HALE NO, 1 TEST WELL
 STUDDED IN SAT.
Large Crowd Present to See Begin ming of First We'll East of Town
 Drilling this Week.

The Hale Test No. l by the Roberts Oil Corporation was spudded in Sat urday afternoon at o'clock. This well is about 2a miles east of Ash down on the A. E. Hale farm and just north of the negro church and grave yard. A large crowd had gone out to see the well spudded in. Fireman A. T. Collins had steam up and had the boiler popping off just over little hill from the derrick. The boiler is located distance from the drill rig so that the fires will be out of the way of the we'll when it in turn begins to pop off. The crowd had an opportunity to see the crow drill rat hole for the kelly joint. This was drilled on the edge of the derrick at an angle toward the we'll. It was put down in few minutes by hand and with the hydrau- lie pump. Casing was set in this hole. It was explained that this was place to set the drill joint when it was out of the we'll to keep it out of the way.
 When all was ready for the well to be spudded in driller Dock O'Neai turned on the hydraulic pump and the water began to roar through the drill stem, boiling up against the ground like the water from a grant fire hose. This water pressure in itself is suf- ficient to drill hole through soft form ations. Pretty soon the drill began to turn and as it cut itself through the ground the water boiling up out of the hole brought with it the dirt and sand, which, flowed off through the troughs to the slush pit, the water from the slush pit being pumped back into the we'll again in a continuous circuit. The we'll was sunk to depth of about 20 feet when operations ceased untll Monday. The easing was already on a car on siding at Ashdown, which was hauled to the well Monday. After the first one or two hundred feet has been drilled this surface casing will be set, after which under rotary drill ing no more casing is usually set until the hole is completed down to the test. The rotary by means of the pump walls the hole in with mud, which is usually sufficient to prevent caving. No dates are being set TOT the completion of the 5000 foot test
 Driller O'Neal states that with good luck the hole might be down in forty days. Of course drilling in an unprov- en field the drilling must proceed with great caution as it is not known inst what formations will be encount- cred. Oil people say that as far as surface formations and sruct ss go that this is an ideal locatio and every confidence is placed in the bringing in of producer. Great con- fidence is also placed in the men who are putting it down. The rig, whlch has been leased from the Graham Drilling Company, is one of he best and has seen service in the ElDorado field. The water supply is abundant being drawn from a creek fed by last ing springs. The site is located on fine gravel pike and close into town so that supplies can be brought up easily. F. F.
