Can't Prove Who Owned LIQUOR.

An effort by state rangers to fix
possession of 200 gallons of moonshine
whiskey found last November 20 miles
out on the Bandera road, on Robert
and Henry Willenbrock, failed at a
hearing before United States Commits
sioner X. l.. Edwards Wednesday af-
ternoon. The liquor was found in
brush said to be on the land of Henry
Willenbrock. The witnesses, however
were unable to prove any connection
between the Willenbrocks and the liq-
uor. During the hearing it was
brought out, according to Commission
er Edwards, that all of the liquor
had been destroyed with the exception
of about three quarts retained for evil
dence. Continuation of the hearing
in another liquor case against Robert
Willenbrock resulted in his being held
under $500 bond. The case rose last
year when state rangers entered the
Willenbrock home near Fratt and al
legged that they had seen a violation
Of the liquor Law. The hearing, which
was held last year. was interrupted
by the illness of Commissioner Ed
wards and the attorneys had asked
time to produce authorities.

and MOTOR" of London, England Says:

''For a very considerable time the
Essex car has been one of the most
popular American productions mar
keted in this country, and has won
an enviable name for reliability and
road performance. Good as the
four-cylinder model has proved to
be in service, however, the manu-
facturers have superseded it in ia
YOUR of a six-cylinder model. 1t
represents a very great advance in
design on the old car, and is one of
the most interesting American We
hicles that has ever been imported
here, chiefly on account of the fact
that the engine is only just over two
litres capacity.

Luling, Tex, March 2s.-The No.
s Allen Of the United North & South
Oil company blew itself in early
Thursday morning for $500 barrels
initial production. The amount of pro.
duction was estimated by officials OF
the company. The well blew in with
the tools in the hole, shooting oil over
the derrick for several hours before it
could be controlled. 1t is said 10 be
the largest well yet brought in in the
Guadalupe county section Of the Lul-
ing oil field.

ing making more than 1000 barrels
each. The new compilations make a

Some oil men who saw the No. S
blow in estimated the production at
10000 barrels daily but officials re-
ported that the we'll was making ap-
proximately $500 barrels of oil and
that it was flowing a steady stream.

Drilling in of the No. Allen began
during Saturday night. last. and by
Monday morning the plugs had been
drilled out and drillers reported that
they believed they were on the cap
rock. Early Friday morning more
than POO feet of drill stem were in
the hole when the well blew itself
In.
DriLers were not expecting the well
In at so early an hour and had not
made preparations for a heavy flow
of oil. As a result the well spouted
crude above the crown block until
late Friday morning before the
crew had it under control and flowing
into a field line.
The No. s Allen is located practi-
cally in the town of Gander Slue
which is in the center Of the produc-
ing area of the Guadalupe county

Ill HEALTH GIVEN
AS TRAGEDY'S CAUSE
Henry C. Quarles, Widely Known Here
is Found Dead With Bullet
Wound in Right Temple.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Henry C. Quarles,
head of the Henry c. Quarles anu
Company investment securities, was
found dead in a retiring room IN ms
Office suite here today. A pistol with
one cartridge discharged and bullet
wound in the head gave indications
that death was self inflicted.
According to business associates and
friends, Quarles had been in i'll health
for some time. He was graduate OF
the College of Law of the University
of Wisconsin and was SO years old.
The business conditions of Henry c.
Quarles and Company are said to be
sound, and the only cause assignable
is i'll health. Two years ago Mr..
Quarles suffered nervous breakdown
and since that time has suffered from
recurrence of his ailment.
Attendants Heard Pistol Shot.
He arrived at his office this morn
ing about $3.50 o'clock apparently in
good spirits. Shortly after he entered
a retiring room the muffled report of
pistol shot was heard In attempting
to locate the sound, it was found that
the door to the room in which the
body was found had been locked.
The custodian of the building re-
moved the door, and when physicians
arrived they declared death had been
instantaneous, the bullet having been
fired into the right temple.
Mr.. Quarles, who was the son of
Charles Quarles, and a nephew of the
late United States Senator Joseph V.
Quarles, was prominent in Milwaukee
society as we'll as business circles. He
was member of the board of direct
ors of the Investment Bankers Asso-
citation of America.
He is survived by his mother, his
widow, two children and several broth
ers.
