dcnce the freight appeared. Tho horse be
came unmanageable, and attempted to
climb the hillside, and in doing so Miss
Clara Redic was thrown out and also a
young man, whose name we did not loarn.
The horse wheeled round and made a dash
for the hill road but was caught. The
young lady was taken into Mrs. Thomp
son's home and it was found her back was
severely bruised and she was otherwise in
jured, but fortunately no bones were brok
en. The young man escaped with a few
scratches.— J'hocnix.
The Oil Lease Flurry.
Tho late opinion of the Supreme Court
regarding tho self-acting forfeiture clauses
inserted in many oil and gas leases caused
quite a flurry among operators, and barrels
of old leases that were supposed to be dead
were hunted up and delivered to tho land
owners aud receipts taken for them. The
gist of tho decisions of the Supremo
Court on this point is that tho life or death
of a lease containing a self-forfeiture clause
depends upon tho acts of the parties con
cerned; that the clause of forfeiture was
inserted for tho sole benefit of the lessor or
land owner; that upon tho default of tho
lessee or operator to either begin a well or
pay so much moucy, it is optional with the
land owner whether tho lease becomes
void or whether ho hold the operator for
the full term of years or months named in
the lease,
The aboyc ruling was made in u case
taken up from Washington county. The
leaHC provided that the operator should be
gin a well in 90 day* or pay $250 quarterly,
in advance, and if lie did neither the lease
was to he null and void, lie did neither
and claimed that hit* own action or lack of
action annulled the lease, and the land
owner brought on it for his money. The
Supreme Court decidcH that 110 man can
take advantage of bin own wrong or de
fault, unJ directed that the Court of Wash
ington Co. should enter judgment againnt
the operator* for such HUIII an to right and
juHtico may belong.

will iu writing signed by her or manifest
ed by her mark. The innin purpose is to
show execution of the paper. There is
nothing in the act to require the full name
to be i.igued. The word 'Harriet' may be
regarded as the mark referred to in the act,
and if HO considered the paper is properly
executed. If it had been an ordinary mark
it would have been necessary to prove it
by witnesses who saw it made, but it is
not necessary that they should be aubscrib
ing witnesses. It was shown that the sig
nature was iu the handwriting of the de
ceased and therefore the proof of the exe
cut ion of the paper was ample, and the
paper admitted by the Kngister as the last
will of the decease.d wa» properly so done."
The Supreme Court alliruied this ruling.

decorated. The Rabbi and his followers
sat at one table, and he brake the bread
for them. Toasts were offered by L.
Mitchell, Esq., I. J. MeCandlcss, and D.

Our oil well supply dealers arc now
shipping some stuff to I.'cibold and other
stations along the P. W. IJ. R. from
which it is hauled to the different lields.
The road from Butler to Petersville is al
most impassable, and the teamsters here
are refusing to risk it. A great deal of
lumber is being hauled to the Hundred
Foot Field from Harmony. As soon
as the roads get solid, if that is
ever to be again, the array of teams that
start out from Butler will be astonishing
as an immense amount of stuff is aecumtt
luting here.
Some twenty new rigs are up on the
Burton, Thompson, Ilickey and Kyle
farms in Middlesex twp. This field is
called the Gold field, and go* its name
from the Adam Gold farm on which the
first good well there was .--truck.

there are 40 wells drilling, 14 rigs up and
building and timbers on the ground for 10
more.
The Myoma and Lower Glade run field
presents 'l4 wells drilling, K rigs and tim
ber in for 7. It is safe to say these figure
would be largely augmented by anything
like fair roads. In the vicinity of the Cable
well there is considerable new work cut
out.
B. J. llauratty A Co. struck a good pro
ducer on the Downing farm, west id' Par
ker's Landing, a few days ago. It was do

On Thursday of last week Thos. Hays tfc
