THE MOTION


Throughout the country the news
papers are asking directors of coun-
ty fairs to eliminate the questionable
concessions-which are nothing less
than wide open gambling institutions.
If private citizen should be caught
engaged in shooting craps on the
streets or in an alley of one of our
valley towns. with the money in sight
or the officers should find him play
ing a poker game under similar con-
ditions they would consider it gam
bling and doubtless a stiff fine would
be imposed. These concession men,
however are allowed to carry Oh their
gambling games unmolested. It
should not be and the Tribune is
pleased to notice marked fraternity,
asking that the games of chance be
not allowed at our county fairs, car
nivals, etc. Let us protect the NOR
ais of the community.-Fowler, Colo.

he was hurried to this city, via motor.
His condition was very grave and ne
suffered much, death relieving him
the next day. The body was taken
to Horton for burial. Mr.. Keifer

Of the we'll will be known, this op'
Grafton will require several days. An
effort to run the bailer to the Dot
tom of the hole Wednesday night
failed, the obstruction from the
bridge stopping the bailer immedi'
ately below the gas. The charge
was exploded in the neighborhood OF
$3.50 feet, fifty feet Of the oil bear
ing formation was shot with 3oo
quarts of explosives.
What is said to be the largest
crowd ever to be attracted to an
oil well in this section, visited the
MCGEE well Wednesday and witness
ed the shooting. Many parties at
tended from Pampa, Amarillo, Pie
mons, White Deer Panhandle and
oil men from other states.

OIL NEWS FROM
PANHANDLE, TEXAS

Excitement is at high pitch III
Panhandle, due to the annuonce-
ment of oil standing 1900 feet in
the well of -Bullington-Clark on
section SO, block s, Carson county
The well is ID miles on a line
north of Panhandle and about half
way between Panhandle and the Gulf
No. 1, Dial producer, in Hutchinson
county.
Oil in this well was reached at
1910 feet and the sand has been
penetrated six inches since the sand
which is producing oil in this well
is of a loose formation that little
further drilling will be necessary IN
order to secure the maximum pro-
duction from this straits.
The casing is not on the bottom
of the hole which permits of much
caving which will make the pump
ing or swabbing of the well very
difficult. A method will have to be
employed to prevent this caving
since the pipe will not move in either
direction. The pipe is also collapsed
at about $500 feet and was pulled
apart at 800 feet in an effort to
lower it to reach the bottom. This
condition of the casing will likely
cause delay in the completion Of
the test well.
The belief is expressed by parties
who have visited the latest produced
that since the OIL! is standing at a
higher level in the Silk we'll than
in that Of the Gulf company, one
mile north, that il will make bet
ter we'll than the discovery well.
AS previously announced. the
Holmes, McIlroy & MCGEE No. 1

Smith on section 10, block Y, Hutch

Frank Hooper, the promoter, and
Will Johnson of Hutchinson, presi-
dent of the company, were in King
man yesterday morning and were
wildly enthusiastic over their sue
cess. They were frank to admit
their belief that the big find might
very possibly lay between their test
and the Rayl test which has already
made such fine showing of both
gas and oil. The two wells are
only eight or nine miles apart, the
Frank Field test evidently being at
the northern end of the Kingman
field, since it is well known to oil
men that both wells are on the same
structure.
While the Hutchinson papers speak
of the Reno gasser as a Hutchinson
product, it is clearly EVIDENT that
Kingman can with good grace lay
claim to the entire field, Hutchinson
being almost 80 miles from the new
we'll.
The Rayl test yesterday was drill
ing at 1900 in a hard lime. The
6-inch casing was set the first Of
the week on solid lime at depth
Of 254O feet. It is known from the
former Winfrey test that there is
like 2O-foot oil sand
a little further down, probably
around POO feet, and local oil men
look for something to happen when
the bit goes through the present
lard lime into this sand. This should
happen. within the next few days.

The North Walpole team showed clever
passing, coupled with accurate basket
shooting, throughout the contest, and the
Cadets, although showing a good knowl-
edge of the passing game, were weak on
hopping the ball.
The first period was nip and tuck, with
the Walpole boys in the lead by a 2-to-10
score at the end of the period In this
period Connors and Afahoney INDUCED in
