unfortunate break-yes, sir, right
out before everybody. In a moment

sufficiently to explain that he hap
pened to remember something
funny that his friend Eddie Fry
had said last week, etc, etc, which,
of course, nobody will believe.
Then Reina will beg Charles to tell
her what it was he laughed at, and,
of course, Charles won't tell her.

dam is being thrown up for an emery

owners of the we'll made a hurried
trip to Shelby to arrange for addi-
ticnal tankage, while the Sunburst
will loan two 500-barrel tanks.
Stevenson said that the production
appears to be of the best grade Of
light green oil yet obtained in the
field. Examination of the sand showed
a sand of good texture.
Stevenson made a conservative est:
mate that the well will be of 500 bar
lels a day flush production on its
present flow to settle to a flow IN
the neighborhood of $50 barrels.
Experienced oil men at the well, rep
larger Independents, made estimates
that varied from the 800 barrels to as
high as 200 and 1000 barrels. These
reports. it is reported, seemed small
to more inexperienced observers when
the well was blowing out in heads.
The Hogan well is owned principally
by Senator 7. s. Hogan of Billings, a
well known operator in many of the
fields of the state. He arrived in the
keyin-Sunburst field and obtained i'm
portant holdings early last summer and
started drilling operations on the
present location soon after. Associ-
ated with him are the Dox-BeauEais
company of Minneapolis, and Jack
Decker and Will Richards, Cat Greek
and Soap Creek operators. Decker
