Christians do mot live up to the
tenets of Christ's teachings"
We admit it humbly at this

you, brother Anagarika. You do not
live up to the teachings of Buddha,
and we do not expect it of you.
When Buddha saw the tigress so
hungry and thin that her little cubs
could get no milk from her, he iinme-
diately allowed himself to be eaten
by the tigress, thus stimulating her
milk supply.
Nobody would expect the venerable
Anagarika to do anything like that
IL would be unreasonable.

The present Somerset production

1900 feet, where the production is
small. The oil in this pool is brought

AssAILANTs ESCAPE.

.
One of the men is believed to have
been wounded. Shortly after the at
tack on Mrs. Tallman, prowler was
reported at 904 Fulton, a short dis
lance away. A man driving into his
garage had seen man in uniform ly-
ing on a bench which had been pulled
behind a tree. He ran when the lights
Of the automobile were turned on him.
In his haste, however, he dropped
a cap which bore a name. Working on
this clue officers expected to make an
arrest.
Mrs. Tallman told police she had
gone into her back yard to get her
automobile preparatory to going to
town. The two men attacked her
from behind, striking her with black
jacks. Although she was stunned by
the first blow and blood streamed
down her face, she screamed and
turned to fight her assailants. One
Of her fingers was almost bitten off
in the furious struggle.
She finally managed to get hold of
one Of the blackjacks and to get her
pistol out of her pocket. When she
fired the gun to arouse neighbors the
two men fled.

was still in a state of frenzy and
Detective Hice had TO grapple with
her to get possession of the black jack
which she still held.
She was taken to the hospital
where it was said her injuries were
not dangerous.
The two men escaped with Mrs.

small amount of money.

DRILL IS. NOW

DEP I H
Somerset Hole Is Second
Deepest Ever Sunk
in United States.

Ballard and UnderwoOd's No. 1
Easterwood, drilling for the Milham
Corporation at Somerset in Bexar
county, was being cored at 1866 feet
Saturday morning in what is believed
to be volcanic rock. This hole is al
most 1000 feet deeper than a mile and
is tie deepest test ever drilled in South
Texas. 1t is probably as deep as any
oil well ever drilled in Texas.
An 0ilwell Special Imperial rotary
rig. like the ones used to drill the deep
wells in California, is being used to
make this remarkable test. The hole
was u IL inches in diameter when
the test was started and is now 8 SIS
inches, which is exceptionally large
for such a deep hole.
RESUME DRILLING.
Friday the wen was cored at 6262
feet, the formation giving evidences OF
being volcanic rock. The bit was put
back in hole and the drill sunk four
more feet, where the core barrel was
put back in the hole so that another
core could be taken Saturday. Should
the core be of volcanic rock, the test
may be abandoned, announced Rox
Underwood. of Ballard and Under
wood. The operators are running the
rig day and night.
The Somerset test is being made
quite as much for geological data as
for oil, although the formations gave
promise of production. The well rep
resents a wonderful job of drilling and
the contractors AMI crew in charge
have won the unstinted admiration of
the Somerset drillers, who are frequent
visitors to the rig.
