LAKE COUNTY CO.
STRIKES IT RICH
(Special to Thb Times.)
Lowell, Ind., July 7. Thomas Grant,
who has arrived home from the oil
fields of Oklahoma relates some Inter
estlng facts concerning the Lake
County Oil Company's holding. He ays there are nine members in the
company. They were first given a sec
tion of land 45 miles northeast of Tulsa for drilling two wells for other parties. On this land they struck two fine gas wells which they sold to the Texas OH and Gas Company for $40,000
and retain a fourth right on all oil wells drilled on the land by the Texas company. The Lake County Company leased 100 acres four miles north of Collinsville on which they have drilled four overflowing wells and the fifth one is being drilled. These wells all
started off at 800 barrels per day each but settle down to 600 and so far have shown no decrease, flowing steady day and night. The Texas company buys
all the oil paying 82 cents per barrel.
Recently the Lake county gentlemen
leased 4,000 acres in Oakmulgla county
BOO acres at Henrietta and 120 acres at Haskel. Within a very short time they expect an output of 2,500 barrels per day. Some of their wells will bring them 98 cents per barrel. The company have paid off one half of Its indebtedness and have 28.000 in the treasury and as fas as the oil flows out and is taken by the Texas Oil Company the Lake County Company receive a voucher for It, which from now on will put money Into the treasury pretty rapidly. These wells are among the best in Oklahoma-

Judge Reiter said that a portipn of the public has to he protected against its own indiscretion and added that it is a remarkable fact that within the past years, thousands of children had crossed the tracks daily without a single fatality, while the killing rf adults occurs with alarming regularity. It was agreed on both sides that a steady middle aged man who could command a decent salary for his time would be the best watchman. The argument it was admitted did not however
hold against all the older men who are now employed, as some of them are peerless for faithfulness.
Mr. Demlg stated that his own investigation had convinced him that the Clinton street crossing is a dangerous one because the view to both sides is obstructed by box cars. Judge Becker suggested a reduction , of train speed, and Mr. Brusel suggested the uniformed policeman at the Hohman street crossing.
The recent Prohl fatality was men

At the mercy of a blazing sun with

plight was so miserable that residents
in the neighborhood of the siding called the attention of the Lake County
Humane society to the outrage. The society brought the Chicago & Erie
railroad to time for cruelty to ani

court and the horses moved on to their
destination.

CONSPIRE AGAINST DOMESTIC HARMONY The ills of women seem to conspire against domestic harmony. No husband can understand why a woman should be continually ailing, fretful, nervous and despondent, and he gets out of all patience with her. In nine cases out of ten some organic derangement is the cause of this condition and is easily overcome by Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a woman's remedy for woman's ills which has cured more severe cass of this kind than any other remedy we know.

purposes. They erected tneir tent anu began to play the old. old game with the reflected light and the watches. A number of young boys took chancca on the watches and one of them actually won a watch. Had the watch not been too aged end decrepit to run it is possible the crowd might have been satisfied. However, the boys felt they had been cheated and so reported their folly to the police.
