2 WELL DRILLERS
ARE KILLED WHEN
BOILER EXPLODES
Cause Of Accident al
Laurel No. 3 Is Still
Unknown.

Miranda City, Tex, Aug. 4.-Sil
McMickle. driller, and q man named
Mofield, fireman, lost their lives Mon
day afternoon as the result of a boil
er explosion at the Laurel we'll No. 3.
The rig being used for drilling the
Laurel Oil Company's No. 3 well be-
longs to L. j. Wrcnn and was under
lease. The well is located on the
south 80 acres of survey Cos in the
Mid Ojuelos Field of Webb county
Cause of the explosion is unknown.
About the middle of the afternoon
Driler McMickle was called TO the
boiler to give the fireman some as
sistance when the accident occurred
which resulted in the death of the
two men.
The Laurel Oil company carries
workmen's compensation insurance as
an indemnity covering accidents and
claims will be allowed. Under the
laws of Texas all corporations and in
dividuals are required TO carry such
insurance as a protection.
Boiler explosions are a hazard in

FIVE NEW WELLS
East and West Test Watched Closely
by Oil Men.

Luling. Tex. Aug. 4.-The Danci-
ger Oil and Refining company, large
Independent operator Of Kansas City,
has acquired n small block of acreage
in the proven territory and a loca-
ton has been made for its first test
on the NJ. Meadows farm.
Making approximately 800 barrels
daily. the c. c. Cannon well on the
Rios farm came in at 2140 feet, bring
ing the total number of producers
brought in during the last week to five.
One of the most interesting tests from
the standpoint of the operator is the
Willis No. l of the East and West
Oil Company. The well is making
100000 feet of gas at 1900 feet
and the crew is meeting with diff
Guilty in running the tools into the
hole. A producer in this area will
greatly extend the field to the east
and cause an intensive drilling cam
paign between this test and the With
erspoon well on the Ross farm, ap-
proximately five miles distance.
The Magnolia Petroleum Company
Is drilling in its Byrd No. l well.
This we'll is making considerable gas
and the slush pit is covered with oil.
A location has been made for their
No. 2 test on this tract and will be
spudded in the first of the week.
While shipments Of crude have been
leaving Luling Mt the rate of two
trains n day over the s. A. 4 A. p,
the movement of Luling crude has
been delayed somewhat on account Of
shortage Of cars. However. with
the completion of the Mutual Pipe
Line and the Elliot Jones loading racks
on the Southern Pacific railroad. and
the additional facilities afforded by
the pipe lines which are being con-
nected up. il is expected that shin
ments over the Southern Pacific will
soon augment what crude is being
handled b. the s. A. & A. p.

FATHER ADAM WAS IN LUCK

Exchange:-
When Adam went a-courting Eve
He didn't have to watch the clock
Regretting when twas time to leave;
There were no gossips there to shock
She didn't make him sit away
Across the room and talk about
The newest book or latest play
That others had been bringing out.
She had no red plush album there
With photographs Of Uncle John
And Aunt Louise and Cousin Claire,
And others who were dead and gone.
He never, when she sweetly smiled,
Was forced to flee with all his might
In order to obtain ride
Upon the last car out that night.
All, happy Adam, he was free!
From grief the latter lover bears
Eve never whispered suddenly:
II think l hear pa on the stairs
