BALLOONISTS

Lieut.. Farrell Incensed at Hin tons Alleged Letter, Strikes Him-Lieut. KloOr Writes of the Trip.

Mattice, Ont, Jan. 1.-The long trek to civilization of the three Amer ican naval balloonists came to dramatic climax this afternoon when two of them-Lieuts. Farrell and Hinton-came to blows over state ments alleged to have been made by the latter in a letter to his wife.
 During a conversation with news paper men, Lieut.. Farrell was shown copies of news dispatches, among them a letter alleged to have been sent by Hinton to his wife, and pub lished in New York newspaper.
 Hinton then came into the room. He told Farrell he should not con- tinue his talk to newspaper men, as he had dispatches from the secretary of the navy forbidding any of them to talk until an official report had been filed.
 You rat, you have been talking yourself" Farrell snapped back, in- diGnantly. He then accused Hinton

 Hinton replied that the letter had been published without his consent but its contents evidently had been exaggerated. Farrell then went into another room to apologize to Mrs Williamson for his language Whila he was gone, it is said Hinton de c'ared his remarks about exaggera- ton was made only for Farrell's benefit.
 Farrell returned. More words passed between the officers. Then Farrell took off his coat and struck Hinton on the jaw Hinton was sent sprawling over a table. At this june ture newspaper men and others in the room stepped between the men.
 Lieut.. Kloor said that by the flight the scientific fact was established that balloon with a capacity of 35.OOO cubic feet had buoyancy enough to travel 1.2OO miles.

MUCH ACTIVITY
 AT EL DORADO
Hundreds Flock There Account of Bringing in of Oil We'll Sales of Land and Leases for Large Amounts.

Fl Dorado, Jan. 1.-The great stampede to the E Dorado field. fol- lowing the blowing in of the Busey well, began, at q. m. today when special train loaded to the guards with oil men rolled in from Shfeve port. This was followed by second special from Shreveport, and hun dreds of pilgrims on regular trains from every point Of the compass The Oklahoma oil men were due to arrive tonight on 6 special train.
 Estimates by oil men range all the way from 10000 to 3O,OO0 barrels. but 10000 seems a more likely guess. with the probability that it will range to 15,000 or 20,000 At any rate, it is a big well f it keeps up, and 1t shows not the least sign of abating.
 Meanwhile the stampede Is. grow ing every hour and big sales are re ported
 Forty acres about tbree-fourths of a mile southeast of the well sold for $5o000. Ninety-two acres three fourths of mile away sold for S32,- GOO, or $1090 an acre. and a forty further away brought only $500 al acre. The great blue dome of the sky seems to be the limit.
 The people of Fl Dorado have opened their homes to the pilgrims All day long the visitors have milled in the hotel Hobbies and along the streets like sheep, and tonight they are sleeping wherever they can find pillows for their restless heads. It's like the gold rush of '49 must have been. !, is impossible to get even a corner of a room in a hoteL-Arkan- sas Gazette.
