SCORES FIGHTING FIRE
IN ARKANSAS GAS WELL

Eldora, Ark, May 17-Scores of
men fought today to extinguish a
fire in gas well, eight miles from
here. Flames are leaping from 200
to 300 feet in the air. The we'll is
spouting approximately 100000
feet of gas daily and is said to be
the largest in the world.
1t caught fire late yesterday and
burned all night and shows no signs
of subsiding. Efforts to extinguish
the fire so far have failed. 1t was
believed the large sheet Of sand
thrown up by the we'll will serve as
an extinguisher. If this fails caving
will probably kill the fire.
