SHALLOW GAS WELLS
 ARE POSSIBLE HERE
Thinks Wells Sunk 300 Feet Would Locate Gas; Miniature Wells Now
 Produce Small Quantity.

o. B. Henry of Joplin, Mo, the drilling contractor who has taken the contract to put down the first 3,O00- foot test well south of Ashdown on the Steele & Joiner holdings, visited the Tom Grounds place in the eastern part of Ashdown Saturday to see the gas showing discovered there some time ago. MT. Henry drilled several holes with wagon rod into the sand and lighted the miniature wells with a match. He said that there was no question about the blue burning flames being from natural gas. He said that the reason for the gas being so near the surface was due to leak caused by a break in the formation, or in other words crack in the rock be- low. He believed that by drilling there gas in paying quantities would be encountered possibly at depth of 300 feet, gas that would be ample for the town for fuel and lighting pur- poses. This he said would be- worth more to the town than an oil well. He was surprised that parties here had not tried it out. He said 1t could be done quickly and cheaply with a light rig, of which he had number.

Little Distinction Being
 Made Between Men=WOmen

Little Rock, Feb. 21.-(Special) - Gradually the laws which have mark ed distinctions between men and women and husbands and wives are being eliminated from the statutes and more and more are they being placed upon an equality irrespective of sex. For the first time in the history of the state, men and women are permitted to hold any office, appointive OF elec- i've, and there are no restrictions whatever as to the exercise of suffrage. An effort was made this week to enact law providing for joint and, equal guardianship of minor children by fathers and mothers, but the old pre- Judicies still remained in the minds of sufficient number to defeat this mea- sure. Now comes bill by MT. Arr hold of Clark to modify the old statut- es relative to the restriction of testi- mony that may be given by a husband or wife against the other, on in any case in which the other is concerned. The proposed law provides that in criminal prosecutions the husband or wife may testify in cases where the in- Jury has been done to the person or property of the other.

Little Rock, Feb. 21.-(Special) - The home brew artist is scheduled for a lively time if bill introduced by Senator Wood should become law. Not only must he be shadowed by the Federal sleuths operating under the VOlstead enforcement act, but he will be subjected to the surveillance of the state officers. sheriffs, constables and their deputies, if he dare adopt any of the crude subtefuges for the manufac- ture of that which is vulgarly known as white mule", "chain lightning 7 "hooch," etc. Even the modest raisin will be under suspicion and any one walking about with rubber tube or piece of gas pipe in his possession is liable to be shadowed to his lair to find out what his sinister purposes may be.

NEW OIL GUSHER COMES
 IN AT FL DORADO FIELD
Constantine Three Has Initial Flow of Oil Estimates at 1000 Barrels.
 Strong Gas Pressure.

El DOfadO, Feb. IO.-COnStant1n0 NO. 3 came in at 6.1O tonight, spouting 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas and about 1000 barrels of oil. It is better well than either the George or Daniels we'll, but not as good as the Busey, which encourages those who are playing the field to the north and east Arm strong Mo- is behind it's schedule, but the driller now hopes to. bring in his we'll by noon tomorrow.
 Constantine No. 3 had been ordered to stand until storage tanks were cumpleted, but J. J. Victor, Constan- tin geologist arrived today and promptly countermanded the orders from Tulsa. He told Cleve Love to bring in the we'll at once.
 400 Attend Ceremony.
 The decision to bring in the well was made on short notice, but fully 400 people had gathered in the Burns cotton field when the gas began to push it's load of mud ana oil to the surface We got wind of what was afoot, and reached Constantine No 3, which is only 800 feet west or the Busey we'll, before any one else arriv- cd. We had not been there long be- fore the scouts began drifting in by twos and threes. You can always trust those birds to be on hand when you give little party like that. Some came on foot, others rode in automo- Eiles, but most of the scouts and op- orators were on horseback, which is now the surest way to travel in the oil fields. A few women waded through the mud and one proud young father carried pink baby about six months old in his arms.
 Ali 3 o'clock Cleve Love and J. O. Bennett, his driller, arrived. Bennett tapped his fireman on the arm and in two minutes gas flames were roaring under the boiler. We stood on the floor of the derrick and watched gas bubbling through the gate valves. It seemed that bailing would be unnec- essary, and the well would come in when the valve was opened. But when Bonnet opened the valve there 1as no action.
 After anchoring the valve with massive bolts the crew began bailing. The bucket made dozen trips before the pressure brought it's load to the surface. Bonnet suddenly laid the bailer to one side and ordered "cut out the fire" The gas flames under the boiler were snuffed out. Chal Dan iels leaped from the derrick in one dir ection and Bonnet in ano,ner, and the crowd stampeded through the cotton field and formed semicircle 300 yards away.
 Oil and Mud Shot High.
 Oil and mud surged up slowly from the mouth of the casing. Slowly it climbed higher and higher up the der rick. with encouraging snouts of "come on" "come on," from the spec tators. It was pretty black geyser, but near the top of the derrick it broke. A sullen roar came from the bowels of the earth and the black spray shot high above the derrick. For the first time came the sullen angry road of the new born giant. looked at my watch as I ran down turn-row and noted that it was 6:10 and almost dark.
 After the heavy head of mud and oil broke and the spray shot up with a roar, the stem of the geyser began to whitten for the first time with water but the general color was black with a
