PECULIAR SUIT
over GAS RIGHTS
fBy Associated Press)

Frankfort, Ky, April N-One
of the principal cases to come be
fore the Kentucky State Railroad
Commission at its next meeting
on May 5, involves an unusual
dispute over a gas well. The
complainant in the action is VIM.
S. P. Oscamp, Of Cincinnati, all
oil operator, and the defendant i
the Natural Gas and Supply Co.,
of which A. w. Baird, Jr., OF
Glasgow, KY, is president.
The question is the right of the
owner of oil and gas land to take
his royalty in a gas well in fuel
for immediate consumption and
the rates that shall be charged
him.
Oscamp states in his petition
that he owns oil and gas rights
in a tract on Boyd's Creek, Bar
ren county, five miles south Of
Glasgow. On September /, 1917.
he contracted to lease the rights
of {. S. Woods. of Lexington,
who was to drill a we'll at least
1900 feet before September |,
1918. Wood drilled to a depth
of 747 feet and struck a flow of
natural gas that measured $780,
600 cubic feet, daily and develop
ed a steam gauge pressure of $50
to 500 pounds. Becahsc of ina
bility to drill deeper, due to gas
pressure, the lease was changed
and the gas we'll saved.
Through an agreement witt
Wood, the petition states. Os-
camp attached pipe to the well
and took his one-eighth royalty
in gas which he pipcd to other
tracts he owned nearby and used
it to operate pumps and other oil
machinery. The Natural Ga,
and Supply Company purchased
Woods interest in the well and
ordered Oscamp to either pay for
the gas or dctach his pipe from
the well. A temporary injunc-
ton prevented the defendant
company from forcing severing
of the connection.
Oscamp prays the commission
to fix proper rates. claiming that
She demands of the gas company
are unreasonable and excessive
lie also asks that the commission
order the defendant to furnish
aim with gas to operate his M
chinery.

tt WE may believe what we see in
i the new displays, and what we
hear from centers where fashion0bles
congregate, the vogue Of capes in
creases and wraps become more and
more capelike This is reflected in
coats, which grow ampler and wider:
An emancipation proclamation has
gone forth, and they are no longer
to hang in at the bottom, but must
insure favor by uncOnfined and flow
ing lines. The more capelike the bet
ter. This is the edict now, and it is
not likely to change.
No better examples Of the new mode
could be selected than those that were
chosen for illustration here, for they
are smart in style and entirely prac-
teal. Any of the soft coatings are
suited to these wraps, but duyetyn
is favorite fabric, and tan, navy,
beige and brown tones are the best
liked colors. The tan coat at the left
shows an inlay of silk on the collar,
and an odd trimming Stimulating folds,
across the back. 1t is lined with one
of the heavy crepe weaves in silk and
the long, pointed pieces, falling over
the sleeves, ARE finished with hand
some silk tassels.
The coat at the right is distin-
guished by its very long shawl collar
and ample, lowing sleeves. 1t is Of
navy blue duvetyn. lined with silk

The owners having told their I'M
