Crews Back From California

John II. Crew and sister Miss
Anna Crew returned to their home
near Pennsville Monday, after hav-
ing been at Pasadena, Cal, since
about the middle Of November. The
Crews returned sooner than they
had planned, due to the fact that
word had reached them that their
property near Pehnsville was being
defaced and that thievery and depre-
dations were being committed about
their home place. On returning
they were most pleasantly surprised
to learn that all reports were false;
that not d thing had been disturbed
about the house or barns, and that
not SO much as straw had been
stolen, all of which speaks well for
the type of citizenship in that VI
cinity. Mr.. Crew and sister, while
delighted with California, are not as
vet quite ready to put the state OF
California ahead of Ohio. They
plan to spend the summer at their
home. but it is their intention to
dispose Of their farm. and return TO
California permanently.

Asks Judgment For s54, ,s14.5o

Mr.. G.. G. Crider has filed suit
against The Daily Oil Company in
which he asks judgment, in the sum
of s54,814.50. Plaintiff has leased
to defendant his place of 225 acres
lin York township for period of
three years. Petition states that de-
fendant has drilled five wells to and
through the Berea sand, the recog-
nized oil and gas bearing sand of
that territory; that since the COM
|pletion of the Nells, they have pro-
duced on an average of Ia 1-2 bar
rels per well per month as royalty
for plaintiff Plaintiff further states
that the drilling of the five wells de-
veloped only about 20 acres of the
lease; that on May 1, 1925 defen-
dant ceased drilling; that the lease
lies in a recognized oil territory,
and premises are underlaid with Be-
rea sand. which contains oil and
gas; that owing to the light and
migratory nature of petroleum oil.
the same if not drilled for and pro-
duced, will migrate to territory sur
rounding his lease, where drilling
and producing is carried on and the
oil and gas will be forever lost to
plaintiff. The plaintiff states that in
order to comply with contract of
lease, in order to develope it, at
least 40 additional wells should have
been drilled, and plaintiffs royalty
in such an event, would have been
24.362 barrels of Corning oil, over
and above the amount he received.
The value, the petition states, would
amount to $54,81450, which
amount plaintiff alleges in petition
he has been damaged.

Concerning The Cartwriei,ts

Interesting and voluminous let
ters We're received last week from
the Rev. and Mrs Frank T. Cart
wright, by Mrs. Cartwrights par
ents Mr.. and Mrs. G. Fl. Morris of
McConnelsville. Mr. and Mrs. Cart
wright, who for a number of years
have been in the missionary work at
Foochow, China. under the auspices
of d. E. church, are now in Shang-
hal. Their daughter Naomi Cart
wright has for some time been in
school at Shanghai, and a sister of
Mr.. Cartwright resides there. The
two young sons of the Cartwrights
have been in school where their
parents were working Al few
months ago the Cartwrights were
ordered TO leave Foochow for a new
field of work at Futsing, China. and
had just gotten settled in the latter
place when conditions in that par
ticular part of China made it neces-
sary for them to leave. When
foreigner moves in China, he liter
ally takes up his bed and walks
and the Cartwrights took with them
just the few things necessary for
their comfortand convenience. Ieav-
ing the bulk of their household eff
fects in Futsing. For the present
they are living in Shanghai, waiting
the outcome of the Chinese revolu-
ton. What the outcome may be
thoy caupof taf1 The aryv,iac no
drawn up in battle array, and it is
the general opinion that at least
two months must pass before there
can be much change, as the negotia-
tions to be made between China and
foreign powers must necessarily
take time.
The future plans of the Cart
wrights depend upon the outcome of
the revolution.
