BATTLE With
ROCKS is FATAL
Quarrel Betlreen Negro Boys
at Ozan Fatal to Willie Lee
Brandon.

Willie Lee Brandon, 13 year
old negro boy, son of John
Brandon, was killed on a farm
2 1-2 miles from Ozan Tuesday
afternoon by Roosevelt Brad
ley, son of Ike Bradley, an
other negro boy about the
same age. The killing was ac-
complished with a rock thrown
by the Bradley boy following
a quarrel between the two.
The Bradley boy was arrest
ed by Constable Bob Carrigan
and brought to Washington
Tuesday evening. A grand
jury investigation Wednesday
resulted in his Indictment on a
manslaughter charge. The boy
is now in Jail.
The killing of the Brandon
boy occurred on the bank of
the middle fork of Ozan creek.
A rock admittedly thrown by
Roosevelt struck him about
the temple and he fell into the
water. The Bradley boy left
the scene as Willie Lee fell and
the dead boy, with his face
submerged in water, was found
a few minutes later by Sewer
Nelson, a negro man who was
plowing nearby.
Roosevelt Bradley, accord
ing to his statement, was plcw
ing near the creek and th'
Brandon boy passed by hin
and struck his horse with
stone, began throwing at hin
and ran toward the creek. He
followed, picking up rocks
thrown at him and returning
them. This was kept up fol
some time or until the fatal
rock was thrown. 1t is likely
that the blow only stunned the
boy and that he was drowned
in the water.

CASING RESET
AT KING TEST
Increased OIL ShOluing Causes
Drilling to be Suspended
for Test

An increased oil showing at
the King No. 2 we'll, the Colum-
bus-Hope Oil Cos test 2 miles
east of Washington, caused the
crew to, suspend drilling last
Friday for a preliminary test.
The casing has been set, a home
maG'a packer being used in an
effort to shut off the water, and
bailing was begun Wednesday.
The well is being swabbed to-
day (Friday) in an effort to
remove the water and give the
we'll a chance; although the
packer is thought to be leaking
some, it is believed it will hold
sufficiently to bail the water
low in the well and allow the
drillers to determine whether
or not to cement the casing at
the present depth of 2180 feet.
Cuttings from the formation
now in at the well resemble
fine gravel, with some sand
mixed in. When brought in,
water from the cuttings will
readily show rainbow colors,
but it is a matter of specula-
ton as to whether this show
ing is coming from the bottom
or from the splendid oil sand
passed up forty feet above.
If sufficient showing to
justify cementing casing is not
had tAe drillei. will procsed to
rotate on down in search of the
lower producing sand, which is
expected to show up within the
next $50 feet.
