News of Important Happenings in Indiana

BAD WEATHER CAUSES MOLLIS 1 THAYER DEAD; I SLOW OIL PRODUCTION PBOMIIEITJ BUSINESS

Drop in Price Xot Pleasing to the Operators Growth of Activity in Kentucky. NEW WELLS LAST WEEK Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TOLEDO. O.. Feb. 21. The days of Interesting developments In the Trenton rock fields of Ohio and Indiana at present are far apart, and with the small number of wells drilling, it is not surprising that the completions are far below the standard. ' Borne tieiBMI I wells have been completed in the Indiana Held of late, but the weather ha been so bad that little effort has been made to even line up other producers with the good ones. This will not be the case in a month or two. and if the market does not take too much of a slump, the field will possibly witness one of the most active campaigns for some time past. The recent slump in the market was not received very logically by most of the operators, and In their opinion it should have gone up instead of down. This may have a little effect on operations in general, but as goon as the weather conditions are favorable there is no doubt but that development work will be carried on with a vengeance. If Kansas does not become too potent a factor in the oil business there is no reason why the market in the Trenton rock Held should not hold up to a fair figure. Kentucky is coming up the line at a slow pace, but the runs are close to 2.000 barrels a day. Cumberland county is the main seat of action at present, and with a barge line under construction for the transportation of the oil from that field to the Cumberland Pipe Line Company's line, there is some chance of it being favorably mentioned during the summer. Of course Wayne county is the main source of supply, with the Ragland field next, but not so much interest is being centered in these districts as in the Cumberland county field, owing to the newness of the latter. While Cumberland county was credited with a producing well long before the drill had been put to work in Wayne county, still there has never been a market for the product and little is known of the field. The Wayne county field is known the country over. Two Toledo companies with a combined capital of $75o,000 are now building rigs in the new Mill Springs field, along the Cumberland river, and several large Michigan companies are arranging to put down numerous wells in the same locality. In the Trenton rock fields of Ohio and Indiana the past week there were 153 Weill completed eighteen of thm were dry, the balance having an Initial production of 4.340 barrels. There is a lull in operations owing to the condition of the weather. Hundreds of wells that are producing sbundance of salt water with the oil are shut down, the lines being frozen up. But few wells are being pumped as they should be. and oil men claim that they are getting a third less production during this weather than they did before winter set in. The wells of Ohio during the past week, with their initial production, were distributed as follows: Wells County. Comp. Prod. Dry.

PRIMING THEM SHU 'ES FOR A TERRIFIC SCRAP Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENCASTLE. Ind., Feb. 21. De Pauw freshmen and sophomores are priming themselves for a scrap to-morrow that promises now to be one of the hottest the university has had in recent years. The faculty has fortunately prohibited kidnaping students, else all the boys of each class would be sleeping together to-night, or at least in strong squads, to avoid the possibility of being taken out and tied in some out-of-the-way place where they wouldn't be found until too late to get into the melee. Iast night the sophomores had their annual party in a hall on the second floor of a business block downtown, but the freshmen forced their way up the narrow stairs and broke into the room where the party was being held. The encounter inside the doors was something terrific. Broken tables and chairs speak of its earnestness, along with bruised heads and hands. Previous to the encounter each class had caught and tied up three members of the other organisation, keeping them in custody during the progress of the party. Police interference finally stopped th.- disorder, but vengeance Is being VOWed by th. opponents, and it wHl show itself in this tiht to-morrow. This annual Washington birthday scrap is recognized as fixed thing by the facultv. which apiH.ints a committ.'' to draw up regulations for it and to superintend Its execution. The das, s will get together at 10:30 and will work on each other s anatomies for fifteen minutes. The freshini 11 will defend their color- from an attack by the higher class.

The new Central Christian Church was dedicated tonight with appropriate ceremonies. At the beginning of the morning service it was announced that it was necessary to raise $13.000 in order to pay off the indebtedness on the new building.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERUE HAI'TE, Ind., Feb. 21. President Hargrove, of the Indiana district of United Mine Workers, will take measures to stop the collection of money from the miners for the striking mineral miners in the West. He will do this because the official paper of the Western Federation of Miners has made a severe attack on John Mitchell. A man named Shea, duly accredited as a solicitor for the striking mineral miners, came to Indiana recently and President Hargrove countersigned his credentials. Notwithstanding that the United Mine Workers have a coal miners' strike of their own in the same section of the country and also that the Western Federation is not affiliated with the American Federation of Labor of which the miners are members, there was a willingness on the part of the Indiana men to give Shea assistance. At a mass meeting at Linton it was decided that each man should give flf y cents a month. This would mean $1.500 a month in the Linton field alone, bul President Hargrove says he does not think the money will be collected after he has put the men in possession of the information that while the agent of the Western Federation was here asking for money his official organ was saying that John Mitchell is a dishonorable man.

Faris and the George Bollenbacher homes, a half hour being spent at each place, where a part of the dinner was served. Also at each place the young women all exchanged company. It was one of the most interesting social functions of the university year, closing with an hour's dance at the Kappa home.
