BIG CUSTER
 IS BROUGHT IN
 AT FL DORADO
Busey-Daniels Well May Pro- duce 10000 to 30,0o0 Barrels Per Day-Oil Experts Are Enthusiastic.

Fl Dorado, Jan. 10-Union county's dream of oil, which twice last year was interrupted by the bringing in of gas wells, apparently is reality Busey-Daniels we'll No. 1, located one mile west of Fl Dorado, blew in as an oil gusher at 430 this afternoon and tonight the long sought greasy black fluid is saturating the adjacent country and is accumulating in little lakes that are rising steadily and are defying all efforts to dam them.
 The rate of the flow obviously has not been determined and the guess CTS have free range and are running the full length. Estimates-some of which were made by experts at gaug ing oil production in terms of barrels per day-place the daily flow at from 10000 to 30,000. Men who pick the lower figures are being charged with ultra a-conservatism.
 But on one point the experts and the novices are entirely agreed-it is oil.
 The Busey-Daniels well is located one mile west of HE Dorado, and is owned by Dr. s. T. Busey of Fl Do rado and Chal Daniels, an expert oil driller who took charge of the drill ing operations only last week. It is located in Township 31, Section IT, Range 15, in what is known as the Armstrong tract. Oil was struck at

COLUMBIA, GA, DETECTIVE
 GETS FUGITIVE HERE

Detective L. G. Moore of Colum- bus, Ga, was in Prescott yesterday for the purpose of returning to Columbus, one Bert Murphy, white man about 35 years of age, who is wanted there for jumping bond under which he was released pend ing a hearing on charge of violat- ing the liquor law. Murphy was arrested here last Saturday by City Marshal Willingham, who had a de- scription of the fugitive, and picked him up while he was making a brief stop-over in the city.
 Murphy is said to have been ar rested by prohibition officers while he was transporting fifty gallons of booze in a Dodge truck, and at a pre- liminary hearing he was released on bond to await trial, and took "French leave"

NEGRO CONFESSES
 TO ROBBERY
Vim. Davis, Negro, Arrested in Shreveport, Makes Full Con- fessiOn to RObbing Prescott Mercantile Co. Store.

Sheriff L. C. Steele returned to Prescott this morning on number 4 from Shreveport, La, where he took into custody a negro, William Davis, aged about 25 years, who is wanted here for the burglarizing of the Pres colt Mercantile Go. store on Decem- Der 27 last, during the hours when all honest people should be abed.
 The prisoner readily confessed to the entire affair when he realized that "the jig was up." His confes- sion was forced on him by the finding of about half the stolen goods in his
 In his confession he implicated two other negroes, Willie Parks, alias Big Boy" and Reburn Thompson, both of whom were delivery drivers for the Prescott Mercantile Co. at different times oBth negroes main tain their innocense.
 According to Sheriff Steele, Davis said that he and his partners en- tered the store with the intention of confiscating the jar of money which was on display in the recent guessing contest, and which contained a nice sum of cash. Davis said that after looking thoroughly through stack of overalls and failing to find the jar, they took a quantity of wearing ap- parel instead. The jar of cash was in the stack of overalls, but for tunately for the Prescott Mercantile Co.,, the robbers overlooked it in some manner. It was hidden in this place because of lack of space in the safe, and it was considered unwise to leave the jar and its contents in the show I window at night.
 When Davis was arrested after in formation had been furnished the Shreveport officers by Sheriff Steele, detailed search of the negros be- longings revealed about half of the stolen articles, namely, two suits of clothes, shirts, ties, gloves and the negro wore a coat and some other clothing at the time of his arrest. Willie Parks and Reburn Thomp- son, the two negroes implicated by Davis, were arrested immediately following the burglary, and because of the lack of sufficient evidence to warrant their detention, they were released
 Davis probably will be given hearing before Justice Burns this afternoon.
