FOREST FIRES
near GLENwOOD

Sheriff Winters was buster than .
settin' hen yesterday when he organ.
lied himself into fire department
and went to Canon creek to assist in
extingnishing forest fire of small
dimensions, but which might have
proved serious, but for the prompt
help of number of citizens from
Glenwood and New Castle and a num-
Der of nearby farmers. The fire was
back of the Tibbetts ranch.
Mr.. Winters had no more than
reached his office when he was called
to perform like service on Alkali
creek, where Dave Yeckell, while clear
ing some brush land had allowed n
fire to get away from him, the flames
spreading to the oak brush and for a
while threatening large area. For
tunately a forceho Of nsighbsrs, with
reinforcemepts from New Castle, soon
had the flames extinguished, the dam

Midwest Bore on lies Dome Proves
Structure a Producer, Filling Well
With Oil Before Sand is Struck
GLENwooD CLAIMANTS HAPPY

Glenwood citizens interested in oil
filings in the Craig territory, and es-
pecially the lies dome, have watched
with intense anticipation the work
done the past few weeks by the Mid
west corporation on their test well, and
all are elated over the news that a
producing well was brought in last Sat.
urday, even before the drill had
reached the oil sand. The following
very conservative article is taken from
the Denver Times of August 1s.
Oil was struck in the most recently
completed well Of the Midwest Refin-
ing company on the Hes structure near
Craig, Colo, Saturday morning at 8
Q CLOCK. Officials of the company held
the news secret until today, when Mid
west officials released statement to
the News and Times correspondent at
Craig.
Time after time, false rumors of oil
strikes and gas strikes have been re-
ceived concerning this we'll, which
proves the lies structure. 1t is located
on section 22-4-92. For the past week,
all visitors and everyone save Midwest
officials and employees have been kept
at a distance by armed guards, who
refused to let them approach the com,
pany's property.
one rumor was to the effect that The
well came in Saturday as a gasser.
Ihis report had as its foundation only
the fact that some days ago a IA,
pocket was struck by the drill. The
drill sank on through the pocket inside
an hour and kept working toward the
sand.
Friday, when it was estimated that
the drill was approximately 100 feet
above the oil sand, control head was

BOLD BURGLARY
Mcdonald Lumber Company
Office Phladsrsd by
Cutlery Collectors
An AMATEUR EFFORT

Some time last night thieves entered
the store and office of the Mcdonald
Lumber company, opened the safe and
cash drawer in frditless search for
money and then opened show case
containing fine assortment Of pocket
cutlery and appropriated eight or ten
dozen pocket knives of the wholesale
value of more than a hundred dollars,
and then retreated without leaving
their cards or address.
The theft was not discovered until
employees opened the store this morn
ing, and Sheriff Winters was notified
and he went to work on the case at
once, but up to this time there is no
:. clue to the burglars and thieves.
Entrance to the property was affect
ed by prying off one of the pickets
of the back fence, the parties thus
letting themselves into the yard. They
then broke glass out of a window,
through which they entered the drive
way of the shed, and then the rest was
easy. They jimmied the back door Of
the store, which they entered and
helped themselves to pocket knives,
evidently after they had exhausted
their efforts to find some cash. Mr..
Mcdonald says that, except for rum
aging through the safe and cash
drawer, they left all the other goods
untouched except the pocket knives.
There is no clue to the identity of
the parties. Sheriff Winters IL work.
ing on the case and has notified Off
GERS east and west to be on the lookout
for suspects.
About ten O'Clock last Night Mr..
Burch, who is employed at The D. 4
R. g. roundhouse, was approached by
two young men Of slender build, pretty
well dressed, who asked him when tho
next freight train would 20 to Min
turn. When told that there would be
no such train until morning, one of
the fellows turned nervously to the
other and asked, "well, what will ws
do now'" The men started toward
town, but before they reached the
bridge they turned around, again ap-
preached the roundhouse, and then
started off toward the coal chutes. The
Officers believe that these are the men
who committed the burglary and rob-.
berry, and every effort possible is being
made to aapprehend them.

WATER SITUATION SERIOUS

Reports which come to Division En-
gineer Dickson from various points in
Division No. indicate that the water
situation is becoming more serious as
the season advances, causing much in
convenience and perhaps suffering in
some neighborhoods because Of short
age Of water fof domestic purposes.
In the Antlers country the situation
has become very tense. The big reser-
voir has been drained and the big
canal from Rifle creek was long since
shut off and the cistern storage in
many instances has been exhausted
and the farmers have been obliged to
haul water from the river, not only for
household use but for stock purposes.
Unless rains come soon to relieve the
situation, much hardship must result,
from the prolonged drouth.

FINED FOE BUILDING
COYOTE FIRES

Following his arrest by Forest Ranger
Rich Thomson the early part Of last
week, Tony Sweeney, sheepherder on
the range near Monument lake, came
to town Saturday morning, appeared in
the court of G. P. Rice. and was fined
$25 and costs on the Charge Of building
"coyote' fires and being careless in
attending them, thus endangering ad-
jacent forests.
Sweeney pleaded guilty, but said that
he did not know he was violating a
state law by building fires to aid in
keeping his sheep together and in
frightening away wild animals. The
law, however, was framed as a preven-
tive measure, which purports to lessen
the fire hazard.

days camping and fishing. About
twelve O'Clock noon when they were

Grizzly-Noname tunnel up Noname
creek, near the old Bennett mill, Mr..
King stopped to get drink of water
at little spring, but a. he dismount.

lost his footing. He suddenly released
his hold on the saddle and thus fright

him on the chest, knocking him dis
tance Of about ten feet. Mr.. King
landed on bunch Of rocks and 1t was
some time before he could recover his
breath, but luckily his SON had had con-
siderable training in first aid work,
and he rushed to his fathers relief.
Boyd soon arranged . bed Of pine
boughs and made his father a. COM

Saturday afternoon the mine foreman,
Richard Williams, placed two shots in
the mine. One report was heard and
after waiting considerable time Ne.
Williams and Mrs. Trusty, an employe
Of the mine, went in and examined the
hole where the shot had been placed
and came to the conclusion that there
had been miss.shot. Later Mr..
Trusty and Mr.. Stone, who were to
take the night shift, went into the
mine. Mr.. Stone asked Mr.. Trusty
how everything looked to him and he
replied that it looked all right and he
thought there had been n miss-shot

were moved back.
A good showing Of oil stood in the
casing then and on Saturday morning
at o clock the oil began to rise in tho
casing By 10 O'Clock the 2,640 feet
of pipe was level full Of oil Of high
grade quality. !
The control valves were closed and
the Midwest workmen were instructed
to rest on their oars. ..,.
Official statements today were to
the effect that pressure gauges in tho
control head showed 225 pounds to tho
square inch of rock pressure-pressure
enough to force beads of oil out
through slight leaks in the control head
and valves and demonstrate the force
beneath the oil column.
Midwest officials here in Denver and
others familiar with the situation NJ
the lies site declare that the drill new
-er reached the actual oil sand. It IL
estimated today, say the Midwest Off
cials, that the drill went to a point
ninety feet above the sand and there
encountered shattered shale. There il
1913 feet of uncased hole at the bot
tom. shale is caving in about this hole
ana IT IS expected that It VIII be ,ss.
essary to case this portion of the Dor.
before full capacity production can b
reached. Despite the obstruction at thu
bottom, the oil is increasing its pres
sure on the control head gauges.
Officials Of the company, for this
reason, refuse to make estimates ON
the expected daily production of tho
well, but declare that it without doubt
will be large producer. Further drill
ing will probably be done Wednesday,
company officials said today.

s. A. Cai1let'' was the burden of the
complaint filed by Caillet two days
later for which there was a hearing
last Saturday in the office of G. P.
Rice, justice of the peace, the result
being that although Andreatta pleaded
not guilty, insistently maintaining that
he was only shoshing," the evidence
given was so well substantiated that the
court bound Andreatta over until the
next term Of the district count under
a peace bond Of $3.50. Both men

FRANK BLUE SUFFERS
PARALY1Ic STROKE

Last Sunday afternoon as Dick
Grems of Missouri Heights was passing
the Frank Blue ranch on Cattle creek,
near the Thompson sawmill, Blue Is
little dog came out to the road and
greeted him by barking in peculiar
manner.
Thinking he should stop for brief
visit with his neighbor, Grems went
over into the hay field where he had
observed Blue s team. He came to the
horses, hitched to the mower and NOV.
ing about leisurely with the machine in
gear. Looking about for the driver.
he soon found him, lying on his back
in the new mown hay, unconscious and
perfectly helpless.
No help being near, it was with
great difficulty that Grems succeeded
in carrying and dragging Blue to his
cabin, where he was made as comfort
able as possible, and then Grems left
him alone and rushed to the nearest
telephone and called for help, The
stricken mans brother, George Blue,
answered the call, and as soon as pos
sible took his brother to his home,
where he is receiving medical atten.
tion and the best Of care.

AR1As IN NATIONAL FORESTS
CLOSED BEcAusE OF HAZARD

Tho extreme fire hazard in Colorado
resulting from long continued drought
has forced the United States forest
service to close two particularly dan
gerous areas to all public use-one at
the east poral and one at the west
portal of the Moffat tunnel, according
to statement issued by Colonel Allen
8. Peck, district forester, Denver. I'm
less the present dry period is relieved,
it will probably be necessary to take
similar action for other sections.
The conditions on which public use
is forbidden on the two slopes Of the
Continental divide vary, but neither
affects travel over the Berthoud Pass
highway. 9
At the west portal, the watershed of
Buck creek including the tributary
Fawn and Deer creeks is entirely
closed to any kind Of human use what
soever. Entrance to this portion OF
the Arapaho forest is controlled by the
fence which surrounds the tunnel com.
mission s special use area and which
il carefully patrolled by guards under
the employ Of the commission. The
valley thus shut off is not Of high
reereational value but, on the othe,
hand, contains large amount of slash
left from an old timber sale which
greatly increases the hazard.
The restrictions at the east portal
are not so stringent. Permits issued
for those who have to travel in thai
vicinity on business may be secured
from the forest service or from the
tunnel commission. No campers MOI
Fishermen will be permitted to pass
through the gate which is located just
below the east portal and under no cir
cumstances will any camp fires be per.
mitted in the area under restriction.
Trespassers on either Of the two
areat win be subject to a maximuu
penalty of $500 fine or one year in
prison or both.
