SMALL STRATA
OF OIL FOUND
This MORNING
(From Mondays Daily Press

" 'o' ttObooS ~ N'otiy lCDS
News has drifted into Paragonld
today from half IL dozen different
sources to the effect that small
pocket of oil was drilled into by
the Preston test on the Lovelady
farm early this morning, at depth
of $50 feet. Although none of the
drillers have been in the city, the
story has ample confirmation 1t is
stated that the slusb pit is covered
with the fluid, and that when the
bit was drawn from the hole, it WAS
covered with oil.
The Preston people have insisted
from the beginning that the terri
tory in which they arc operating
is a likely-looking shallow field. and
that they would not be surprised
TO fiud oil at around u thousand or
twelve hundred feet. Today's strike.
if the information is correct. would
seem to Indicate the possibilities of
the territory.

BANDITS ROB CARD GAME

TcxarkaDa, June 6.-Three mask
Cd bandits held up a card game in
vacant house in a north suburb
OF the Arkansas side OF town several
nights ago and cleaned the play
ers. five in number, down to their
last cent, it was learned yesterday.
According to reliable reports a total
or 9SO0 in cold cash was realized
by tho robbers.
The game was just getting well
under way and a healthy "pot' was
on the table when the bandits sp.
pcared, and. with drawn revolycrs.
caQed hands up" After taking
the money on the table the robbers
lined up their victims aud went
through their pockets, taking moth
Ing but money. The players had ca
diamonds OF an aggregate value OF
at least $4,000. it is said, and ali
carried good watches, but the ban
dts said thew wanted nothing but
money. and SO left tho diamonds
and other property alone.
It is said strenuous efforts were
made by the victims 10 keep the oc-
currcpee secret, for obvious reasons.
but IT leaked out. although the ideu-
tity OF the robbers and the game
sters alike remain a mystery.

mishes in an alley that prccipitated
the general shooting. The two
forces consolidated soon after ward,
and the negroes were driven through
the business district back to their
quarters. They took up stand
across the Frisco railroad tracks
about 1000 strong, and battle
took place when the white rioters
lined up behind buildings on the
|other side of the tracks. Finally
fires were started by the whites,
land the negroes were dislodged.
The matter of collecting insur-
lance on the properties in the ne
gro quarter destroyed by fire in
the fighting yesterday was in dis
lpute, the insurance men holding
that their policies on the approx
mately $1,500,000 worth of build
lings destroyed did not recognize
mob violence as destructive agent.
1t was regarded possible that some
of the negroes might seek to recover
from the city, seeking to establish
that it was negligent in not having
provided protection and therefore
was responsible.

To the Trade.

About 35 per cent of all freight
handled by the railroads is coal
About 20 per cent of all available
coal cars are now in use and at that
the mines are only operating at
about half time. The grain move
ment is taking all cars suitable for
that purpose and this will continue
indefinitely. What will the condi-
tions be when cotton begins &c
move?
Railroad Rates.
With the railroads losing money
each month. do you think there is
even a chance of freight reduction
this season? We believe that i will
be most fortunate, indeed, il there is
a reduction OF 10 to Is per cent by
next storage period.
Mine Prices.
Miners wages represents over 70
per cent OF the cost OF Goals az the
mine 10 you and the existing wage
agres ment runs till March 81, 1922.
A majority of mines report heavy
financial loss every month this year
and certainly prices will be MUCH
HIGHER a little later We pre-
dict that "mine-run coal will bring
a premium this winter for domestic
uses.
Coal Stocks.
Never before at this time have
the dealers stocks been so low.
Never has there been a season wren
the consumer bought so lightly.
Your present stock and additional
shipments that you can secure TINS
fall and winter will be ir-deQuate,
even. at the higher prices you viii
gladly pay at that time.
Order Coal Now.
In order to give our CONSUMERS,
who have not purchased their win
ter coal, an opportunity 10 supply
their winter fuel needs, We nave
car of Rockville coal at a very reas-
enable price. This price, however
is subject to change at any time
during the month, but all orders
given now will be protected during
this month. You can expect an ao-
vance in the price of coal from this
time on.
SO. BUY WINTER COAL NOW
and keep warm this winter.
