Traffic Halted

bRlSrOW, Okla.--A giant well, es-
timated to be making 10000, 900 feet
OF gas and spraying so barrels of oil
an hour, is holding up all the passen-
ger and freight trains over the Frisco
lines between here and Kellyville. and
delaying sll traffic between Tulsa and
Oklahoma City.
Because the well is but $50 feet from
the railway tracks. and has filled the
valley sor more than a mile around
with gas. railway officials fear the run
ming of trains would ignite the explos-
I've gas and cause a disastrous fire.
With a large force of men at work
today in an effort to shut in the well,
IL is thought that traffic may be re
sumed by late this evening.
Passengers cannot be transferred by
automobile as it is feared the exhaust
from the motors would ignite the gas
in the valley.
