GUSHER SUBDUED
WITH DOUBLE DIE
Oklahoma "WiId Mary" OIL
Soaked Land to Be Turned
Under to Foil Fire.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, April T.
Outsmarted by the ingenuity of man,
the crafty No. Mary Sudik, wild out
law gusher of the South Oklahoma City
oil field, today fumed and fretted
against the steel barrier that held her
giant energy in check.
The we'll was placed under control
late yesterday after IL days of liberty.
During that time the gusher shoWered
the countryside for miles around with
an estimated daily average of $4,000
barrels of petroleum.
With the petroleum geyser halted,
operators in the field drew Sighs of
relief. Because of the danger that the
spraying gas and oil would catch fire,
all other activities in the district have
been halted. A stray spark from two
changing pieces of steel and the territory
might have become a raging inferno.
If the Wild Mary" remains under
control, ploWs tomorrow will start turn
ing under the oil-Soaked terrain. Once
the oil has been covered up or drained
of all of the lat active operations in
the field will be resumed.
Strong Mechanism Used.
A double die nipple, secured above
a series of fittings that included two
1IldSlCl SdlGo, lIllSllIy AldlGSO OIlC SOluIIlIl
of oil which was backed by daily flow
of some 200.000000 cubic feet of gas.
Twice previously the Wild Mary" has
circumvented less intricate shoppers
fitted to the top of the giants casing
The double die was screwed into four
inches of casing threads. Then it self
cut two additional threads for security.
A fantall was used to affiX the double
die to the casing. The fantail was
placed over the well, and the Wild
Mary's pressure playing through jets
aided in lowering the cap through the
blast.
Master Gate Blown Out.
Blowing in March 26, as a gasser,
the wild Mary" shortly afterward blew
out a master gate, intended to control
the kissing gas. The WELL which soon
developed an oil flow indicating it is
the worlds largest sweet high gravity
producer, then ran uncontrolled until
Friday night.
At that time a Shaffer overShot, a
form of stopper. was installed. Pack
ing IN the overShot was eaten through
in four hours, however, and the well
was opened again. Tiny particles Of
fine sand, shot from the bowels of the
earth under almost unbelievable pres
sure ground out the packing. Much
fear of still another outbreak by the
outlaw gtGher is felt because of this
same flood of sand. The owners of the
we'll the Indian Territory Illuminating
OIL Co., have made no announcement
Of their plans for handling the gusher
in the future.

Grain FUTURES
UP ON STRONG
CABLE DEMAND
Shorts Cover in 0versold
Liverpool Market;
Corn Rises.

BIZ Vritcd Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 20-Wheat opened
higher on the Board of Trade this
morning under the influence Of
strong foreign cables and only a
small increase in the on passage
stocks. Rumors of a better flour
demand caused short covering in an
oversold market at Liverpool and
sent prices higher. Buenos Aires
opened strong and was ~ cents
higher just before noon. Corn and
oats were higher with wheat
At the opening wheat was Il to zs
cent higher, corn was up Il to q
cent and oats was u to IS cent
higher. Provisions opened firm.
Liverpool was strong this morn
ing, more so than had been ex-
pected. being IL to IA cents higher
shortly after noon. Sentiment is
mixed at present, but the feeling is
prices will have to reach a mark
that will attract export demand
Farm board action had a senti-
mental effect, but broader steps are
necessary. Open interest in May is
large.
Corn flrmed up on the farm
boards buying at outside markets.
This will tend to stop shipments
here. The traders, however, are ex-
pecting large receipts, especially
from Illinois. The weather continues
cold with considerable snow.
Oats, as usual, followed the major
grains, but showed fair strength of
it's own.
