SELLING STOCK A Twenty Five Thousand Dollar Oil Company is Being Organized WELL AND LEASES Being Put in By Mr. Habegger—Several Merchants and Farmers In Efforts to form a stock company to develope the oil field south west of hone are now being made and it is probable that a $25,000 stock company will be organized and a number of wells be drilled. Ezra Habegger drilled in the first well on the Joseph Andrews farm and secured a six bartel well of high grade. It is the opinion of the drillers and experts that somewhere near there is a rich vein of oil and Mr. Habeg ger has leased about two thousand acres of land in that territory. He is willing to put his well and leases in for $5,000 and feels that the rest of the stock should be readily subscribed. He has already sold about $2,000 worth and hopes to be able to interest a sufficient number of people to provide funds for drilling several more wells. One Decatur firm today took SSOO worth and several others smaller amounts. Those who arc interested should see Mr. Habegger at once. He believes he has a real find and that the wild-catting is over. If a twenty-five to fifty barrel well is struck the returns will be big and in addition the oil industry will boost general business. Friends of Mr. Habegger were talking to Decatur business men today on the proposition and may be held soon to conclude the arrangements.
