J. S. Scott Asks for Dam

Jonesboro. Aug. 19.-The Jones'
boro Tribune says that Attorney
Basil Baker filed suit in the
circuit court Thursday for j. F.
Scott, VS.. Charles Daniel, j. Boyd
Harrell, Henry Written, James Gal
loway operating as Chas. Daniel
Drilling Company.
Mr.. Scott is the man who had a
block of leases near this city, and
en- the 3Oth day OF August, 1921,
entered into a contract with the
defendants to drill for OIL gas,
etc, and was to drill at least
5000 feet, unless oil, gas or other
minerals be struck in paying guam
titles at a lesser depth.
The complaints ask judgment
against the defendants in the sum
of $74,000'00 by reason of the fail
ure of the defendants to perform
their said contract, and for sums OF
money that have been advanced by
the said Scott to the defendants in
drilling the depth they have which
it is alleged is not over $3.50, that
they have been slow in drilling and
have killed much unnecessary time,
and have now abandoned said con-
tract entirely.
This well is known as Chamber of
Commerce Well No. /, and is To-
Gated a short distance northwest of
the city. The case will come up for
trial at the September term of the
Craighead County Circuit Court for
the Jonesboro District, that meets
in this city on the 4th day OF
September. The outcome OF this suit
will be watched with much in
terest.

minor thing compared to traffic in

here. In commenting on the annual
report sent to Attorney-G

trict Attorneys office here, Mr..

THE outstanding feature of the
report is to be found, not in the
liquor prosecutions, but in the eff
forts that are being made to stamp
out traffic in narcotic drugs. The
drug trafficker's ring in Cincinnati
is a far greater menace than any
