Kencil Lowman, of Marienville, a
young man employed on a well being
drilled for Kane parties on Haalet Island,
a short distance below Dawson station,
waa quite badly burned about tbe bauds
and face by an explosion of gas and oil at
tbe well last Wednesday forenoon. The
well had been drilled through a good pay
streak of oil on Monday aud the bole was
standing nearly full of oil wben the con
tractor, W. A. Lowman, with bis son
Kencil, went to tbe island to tube tbe well.
They were baling out some of tbe oil,
wbeu tbe agitation caused (be well to
flow, the fluid going clear over the top of
the derrick. Realizing the danger ol fire
they weie carrying water to quench the
fire under the boiler, but were not quick
enough. A terrific explosion occurred
aud the young man caught the full force
of it. With his clothing all ablaze he
ran and plunged into the river, no doubt
saving bis life by his quick -actions. He
bathed in oil and then came to town,
where Dr. Bovard attended him, finding
the worst burns on his bauds. He was
able to go home Thursday. Dr. W. A.
Baker, one of the owners of tbe well, was
on the ground and after caring for the
burned young man, turned bis attention
with Mr. Lowman and Edward Sanner to
saving the drilling machine, which was
drenched with oil and burning. By a
hard tight they managed to put out the
fire, but not before tbe machine was badly
damaged. Tbe loss Is a heavy oue to
Mr. Lowmau, who was also somewhat
burned oo bis face and right band.

Tbe Kane oil company of which H.
C. Zeller ia the bead, brought In their
second good well last week on their
lease just below Dawson station. The
well Is on Haslet island and was drilled
through a good pay streak in tbe aecond
sand at about 108 feet. Tbe bole filled
with oil to within a few feet of the top.
Tbe well was not shot, but since being
tahed bas been flowing off about three
times a day as It is opened, making a
production of nearly ten barrels. Tbe
company's first well, on Dawsou island,
is being troubled by a strong flow of salt
water.

duction as compared with the results for
August. Tbe same fields show an in
crease of 14 in new work at tbe close of
September over tbe total at the close ol
August. Fields producing Pennsylvania
oil show a decrease ol 23 in the number of
wells completed, 473, but an Increase of
7W barrels In new production, tbe total
being 4,042 barrels a day. Of dry boles
aud gas wells there are 27 less for Sep

The latest tolepbone invention is one
of the meanest and most ungallant con
trivances that we have ever beard of. It
ia called the telecbronometer, and is noth

to the telephone which registers the
amount of electriolty consumed by tbe
subscriber. It is intended to make the
telephone user pay for current In tbe
same way tbat he pays lor light current.
We say "he," but we really think of tbe
pronoun of the third person and feminine
gender. What will "she" say wben she
bas her first bill to pay? Sbe may say a
great deal then, but then again ahe is
likely to say a great deal less thereafter
at least over the 'phone. Tbe tolocbrono-
meter is a plain suppression of tbe femi
nine right of free and unlimited speech.

SERIOUS FIRE NEAR GILF0YLE.
Large Farm Ram of Joseph Gregory,
With all Contents and Fourteen
Head of Cattle Consumed.
Monday, about the hour of midnight,
Joseph Gregory, whose farm is located
about a mile from Gilfoyle. Jenks town
ship, was swakened to find that bis large
farm barn waa on fire. Tbe family was
quickly aroused and rushed to tbe scene,
but so greatly bad the flames progressed
that they only succeeded In rescuing a
span of mules and one heifer, tbe other
livestock, consisting of fourteen bead of
cattle mllcb cows and young stock
were consumed. Likewise tbesummer's
crops, comprising 300 bushels of oats, 60
bushels of buckwheat, several bushels of
wheat, 20 tons of hay, and a large quan
tity of straw; set of double harness, fan
ning mill and threshing machine, besides
many smaller farm Implements.
Tbe loss entailed will total fully $2,000,
on which there was an insurance of H,2)0
In the Farmers' Mutual company. Mr.
Gregory bas no Idea whatever as to the
origin of tbe fire, as there hsd been no
fire about tbe barn In tbe evening, and
when discovered tbe bulk of the flames
seemed to be in the upper portion of tbe
structure. Spontaneous combustion
would seem to be tbe most plausable
theory, and tbat ia somewhat remote as
(he bay had been garnered several weeks
ago.
Mr. Gregory Is one of the industrious
and hard working farmers of bis section,
and this loss falls heavily upon him just
at the tbresbhold of winter. He baa but
the mules and heifer which he rescued,
and fortunately about four acres of corn
in the shock witb which to winter them.
Cropp Hill Urange Hall Burned.
The Grange Hall on Cropp Hill, Green
township, four miles northeast of Tio
nesta, waa completely destroyed by a fire
which broke out about eight o'clock on
Tuesday night of this week. Tbe origin
of the fire is a mystery, as no one is
known to have been about tbe building
during the day. Wben discovered by
tbe family of D. J. Cropp, whose house
stands near the place, tbe whole north
end of tbe building was In flames and
nothing could be done to save it. The
ball was a two-story building, 24x40 feet,
and was owned jointly by Forest Grange,
No. 853, and William Cropp. Tbe top
floor was need as the Grange Hall and tbe
lower floor was made into a store room.
Mr. Cropp bad buggies and farm machin
ery stored on the lower floor, all of which
were gotten out and saved. The wind
blowing away from the house and barn
of Mr, Cropp no doubt saved those build
ings from being devoured by tbe fiery
elements. A granary nearby caught fire
and was badly damaged, but was saved.
The loss on tbe ball property is placed at
about fOOO, on wbicb there was an in
surance of 450. The Grange also lost
$ 100 worth of furniture. It Is not known
whether tbe ball will be rebuilt, but tho
Grange is in a flourishing condition with
44 members and will probably want a
meeting place. The reflection of the fire
could be plainly seen bere.
Jury Could Not Agree.
Tbe noted timber land case of T. D.
Collins et al vs. L. S. Clough ot al, men
tioned at length in these columns last
week, ended in a failure of tbe jury to
agree on a verdict after deliberating for
nearly three daya and two nights. At
7:30 p. m. Monday, after having received
additional lnstruotiona from Judge Reed,
of Brookville, before whom the cause was
tried, the jury reported that II was Im
possible to reach an agreement and tbe
court discharged them, Tbe case was
beguu on Tuesday morning of last week
and the entire time until Saturday eveu
ing waa taken up in its trial. Tbe ques
tion rested upon the location of certain
warrant lines and Ibe consequent owner
ship to about 450 aores of timber land in
Howe township, valued at upward of
1100,000. In the first trial tbe verdict
waa for tbe defendant, bnt the Supreme
court set it aside and ordered a new trial,
which was the one just finished,
Tbe jury fees alone in this case
amounted to about 1350.00.
Annual County Home Dinner.
Tbe annual dinner for tbe inmates of

tended with the usual interest and suc
cess. The visitors were most cordially
welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Hil', and

splendid dinner was served in the large
dining room, to which about sixty
persons did ample justice. Following tbe

ducted a gospel service, Hedolivered an
elequent address wbicb was alined to be
of special help to tbe people in the Home,
but which was thoroughly enjoyed by all
who had the privilege of listening to it.
The Couuty W. C. T. U. recently pre
seuted the Home with appropriate sing
ing books, and these aided greatly in the
musical part of tbe service. The bearty
co-operation of those in charge, the ap
preciation of the Home family, and the
beautiful autumn day, together made it a
time long to be remembered. The mem
bers of the Union departed lor their
homes feeling they bad not only given

deavor, died at that place Sept. 27, 1010,

done for her recovery was of no avail.
She had been a member of the Methodist
church lor many years. During her long
life she had a firm trust in Jesus. II or
last testimony was: "Ob, welcome death.
I have no fear, for I am going home."
Rov. J. F. Scherer, of Endeavor, con
ducted the funeral services, speaking
words ol encouragement to the children,
who wept over a mother who for many
years had been dwelling under thesiuilea
of heaven, a mother who had built for
hnrselfa dwelling In the world of prom

had been for so many years standing.
Mr. (Soberer spoke of the ax peels of earth
ly things being subject to tho vicissitudes
of time; tbat the dearest fi ienda and hal
lowed and happiest love will In the course
of yeara be changed, and all earthly
things must fade and die. And since
tlod in His mercy baa thought best to call
tbe wilo and mother from borne, they can
rest assured that sbe now can sing arouud
the throne through everlasting dav.
