TRAFFIC is DELAYED
BY A GIANT GAS WELL

Bristow. Okla, Aug. A giant
gas we'll here estimated to be max
ing 30,000,000 feet an hour and
spraying barrels of oil hourly, is
holding up all traffic over the st.
Louis and San Francisco railroad
between Tulsa and oklahoma City.
The we'll is but $50 feet from the
railway tracks and has filled the
valley for more than a mile
around with gas. Railway Off
cials fear the operation of trains
would ignite the gas and cause n
disastrous fire.
A large force Of men is at work
in an effort to shut in the well.
Motor traffic is tied up in many
towns because of the danger which
would be incurred in the firing OF
the motors exhaust.
The giant we'll is in wild cat ter
ritory, more than mile north :
west of the present Continental
pool and came in last night.
