j Leighner and Gnmpper. Miss Daisy
/ Dale recited very cleverly. Later a
basketball game between the First and
Second Y. M. C. A. teams was played.
The boys and girls had great sport
corning and beaning each other, and
everybody they passed, last Saturday
night. It was fun for them, and next
day the sparrows laid in their winter
supplies. Some amusing things hap
pened that evening and perhaps the
most so one on the Court House side
walk. As four white boys pamed three
colored girls, one of the boys threw a
handful of corn in the girls' faces, and
one of them instantly- let her fist fly
agaist the boy's nose, knocking him
back and making his nose bleed. Then
the irirls passed on laughing.
As is usual on a rainy day. an 1111
usual number of dmnks apjieared on
the streets. Fights and disorderly con
duct were the natural results, and one
man, named Joint and employed at the
Muddycreek cut by Broadhead, was so
badly used up in a fight at the P. &. W
station, that he was supposed to Is*
dangerously injured.
He was taken to the Slater House on
Centre avenue, now managsd by Miss
Matthews, and at first was supismed to
be fatally injured. But he came aronnd
all right, his broken nose was set by Dr.
Moore, and next morning he went to
his boarding house near Euclid.

$1,400,000 Oil Deat.
The largest deal ever recorded in oil
producing property since the inception
of the petroleum business was closed at
Titusville last Saturday afternoon.
The magnitude of the transaction will t
be understood best by the purchasing |
: rice, which was a cash consideration j
and amounted to *1,400.000 In the j
deal is included ail ol the Devonian !
Matson and Emery Oil Companies I
holdings of producing property in the
Bradford. Mckean county Held, located
in what is known as the Ormsliv. Chip
inunk and W.it-s>nvill> IH»OIS. iuecom
' uied hohhags of the three eompauica
amounted to 20,(H»0 acres of partly dc
veloped territory, on which are loont■ -1
between 4'io and 450 wells
haviutr ar !:*:rre:;ate prolu'-s "!) of mon
than .>.OOO leirrels a day. There are
als»i .'0 drilling wells, somenearingcom
pletion. By the transaction the various
properties pass to the ownership of tin-
Midland division of the South Oil Com
pany. a producing branch of the Stand
aril, and tiie negotiations wer ■ conduct
ed through John L. and J. (' McKinney
of Titusville, Pa., representees of the
Midland company, file preliminaries
to the purchase began about six months
ago. but owing to a failure to agree up
on a price after several weeks of "give
and take," the negotiations were dropped
and the deal declared off. Two weeks
ago new overtures were made at a fig
ur. somewhat higher than had been
named in the lirst proposition to pur
chase. in the interim, however, the
development of the profiertj- had lieen
pushed and the production almost dou
liled, and at the time of the sale was
larger than that of any other three inde
pendent producing companies in the
business. The production obtained
from the property up to the time of tie
sale had, it is reported, paid back all
tie- money that iiad been invested and
le'li. the selling price, $1,400,000, a net.
profit to the former owners. In the
personnel of the three companies are
-.veil-known and experienced operators.
C. P. Collins of Bradford, Pa., president
of the Devonian, and James R Leon
ard ; nd J. H. Evans, treasurer and sup
erintendent respectively of the same
company reside at Beaver, Pa.. Mr.
Matson of Bradford is president of the
Matson Oil Company, and Lewis J.
Emery, Jr.. of Bradford holds the same
position with the Emery Oil Company.
The active development of the proper
ties of which th£y disposed, began less
than three years ago.
The money consideration surpasses
any involving a similar purchase, but
the McKinney Bros, are throughly
practical operators and have a full
knowledge of the value of Bradford
producing proderty, and are regarded,
as conservative in making estimates,
and both purchaser and seller came to
an agreement after a protracted delib
eration. The South Penn Company
t.Mjk possession of the property Monday
morning.
