MYSTERY STILL UNSOLVED
A solutou of the mystery of the
strange happenings at the Luther
Smith farm, northeast of town, seems
' as far away as ever. Many brilliant
lights that appeared at intervals about
1:00 a. m., Sunday, is reported as the
only recent demonstration.
Watchers are still keeping nightly
vigil in hope of solving the mystery of
the lights and night visitors. So far, it
seen: to have met wilih little success.

l{. L. Moore, a former resident ot
Hennessey, and present editor of the
Drumright Post, was seized in that
city Monday evening at 7 o'clock by a
band of six marked men and taken to
a thickly wooded spot a few miles
southeast of that city and severely
flogged with a blaeksnake whip, ac-
cording to a report of Drumright police.
Moore i< said to have asked members
of the band why they abducted him,
und was told that it was because he
had published radical editorials, advo-
cating: overthrow of city, county and
state government, the police stated.
■ The whip was. applied to Moore's
back several times and he was ordered
to leave town under penalty of another
whipping if he failed to heed the in
.junction. Moore had not decided Tues-
day as to whether he would leave or
remain.
I Moore was walking home when ac
costed by an unmasked man, who en
gaged In 111 in conversation. While they
were talking an automobile containing
six masked men drove up and Moore
I was seized and thrown into the car.
{ The car was then driven rapidly away.
According to Moore's story his as
sailants applied hot tar to his wounds
after the whipping, assisted in repine
ing liis clothing and took him back to
the edge of town, where he was thrown
from the car into the street with a war
ning to leav« town before dark Tues
<T iv night.
Moore mad*' his home in Hennessey
in 1911-12, and was employed as com-
positor at the Clipper office. He ha<
made Ills home at Drumright for sev
eral years.

i SPEEDING CAR OVERTURNS
OCCUPANT BUT SLIGHTLY HURT
! A Nash coupe owned t v Mim* GolTlee
Smith, assistant cashier at the Henne
sev State Bank, overturned this even-
ing on the Meridian Highway a short
distance north of town while spec ding
at about lnilcrf per hour. The en*
was badly wrecked, but Miss Smith
escaped with few gashes on the hand
and a scv« re shaking up.
Miss Smith was driving north, and
attempted to whip back to her side of
the road, to avoid an approaching
southbound car when the left front
wheel gave u \v at the liul*. The ear
held the road for about fifty yards,
according to those who witnessed the
accident and then swerved suddenly
and turned completely around in the
roadway, rolling over on its side. She
was assisted from the auto through the
top by the occupants of the car she
passed a moment before and brought
to town for medical attention. Except
for a few small gashes on her hand-
and slights abrasions on her forehead,
she was practically unin jured.
The right fear and left front wheels
were totally demolished, headlight and
right front, fender smashed and top
wrecked. The steering wheel was also
wrenched off. The gla,<s in the rear
and the windshield and also one side
I of the car was unbroken.

GETS OIL TEST WELL j i; «« .
Wigging,up was completed at
Henry farm, in Skeleton township, ye*
rdav afternoon, and actual ''spud-
ding" began today. A depth of about
forty feet was reported when work
ased this evening. Regular towers
will be started tomorrow, according to
nnounceiut nt of Contractor McClure,
mil work will then continue without
interruption day and night.
The black smoke from the oil fire
under the boiler drew many visitors
yesterday from the surrounding farms
Ml were anxious to see the well start
I and many remained until late in
the afternoon to see the spudding op-
rat ion begin. After the spudding tool
had been tried out to see that every
thing was in readiness, work was sus-
pended for the night.
An exceptionally complete string
of tools and the large amount of eas.
ag racked on the grounds promises a
thorough test.
Two boilers have been installed and
onnected up for the purpose of expe-
liting drilling operations. Tin* extra
boiler will be used in event of failure

was shutdown for lack of funds. The
hole was cased practically its full

landowners in that vicinity should hold

the completion of this test
The test northeast of Lovell is re

Oil Activity Around Marshall—Block
ing Again Near Beliel Test
There has been considerable leasing
ist of town during the last few days
and we are informed that a block of
leases covering .'1,000 acres has been
•ured. This block of leases surrounds
the well that was drilled out there a
few year- ago and abandoned at 1300.
This test was on the southwest of
4-19-3, the Joseph Beliel farm. The
leases are in escrow in the Farmer's
State Hank and a well is to be started
by June 1 or the lease returned to the
farmers.
It is almost sure that the Trammel
test is to go on down to 3,200 feet and
i new hole drilled in case it proves a
luster. The company is said to have
nearly the required amount of acreage
under lease and considerable financial
backing.
The test on the northeast of 32-19 3
lias been inactive for several weeks.
The matter has got into the courts and
tlii- is probably the cause of the delay.
