Tuesday night at 2 o clock
lightning struck and set fire to
six 55,000 barrel oil tanks in the
tield near h-re which will cause
a loss of probably a half million
dollars to the oil companies.
The Prairie Oil and Oas com-
pany in this lire lost four lci.i£,e
steel tanks and two earthen
tanks with the contents.
The Gypsie Oil and Gas com-
pany lost two "'x.l anks.
This makes the --c >nd disas-
trous fire to visit the fields here
within lOdaya.
The loss from both fit"03 will
total close to one million dollars
to the oil companies.
This fire, while it did not seem
to be as large as the one on
August f, was really larger,
entailing a heavier loss. The
fire consumed 330,000 barrels of
oil in the six large steel tanks,
not counting the oil burned in
the two earthen tanks.
Immediately cfter the fire
started men and teams were put
to work throwing up embank-
ments to stop the flowing oil
when the tanks boiled
over. Several workmen hid
narrow escapes while working,
the oil boilinSf over and the heat
being so intense it wa> almost
unendurable.
The tanks being made of steel
atti act the lightning and when
caught are 'impossible to extin
guish, as the dangtr of beinp
close is too f^reat.

Claiming that he was robbed
of a diamond stud valued at
$250, Leonard Hyden of Ard
more made a complaint to the
police here Thursday.
Accordidg to Hyden's state-
ment he was in Cushing on the
night of August 26th and _ while
there was invited by a friend to
visit a hop joint. That he ac-
cepted the invitation and that
while in the joint he smoked
hops and while under their in-
fluence the supposed friend rob-
bed him of the diamond.
He says that he did not see
or hear of the man until Thurs-
day when he learned that he
was in this city-
He was in Cushing when in-
formed of the man's whereabouts j
and came here with view of re- j
covering his pin. _ (
Hyden claims to have met the ;
man here but that he refused j
to return the pin, admitting that j
he was guilty of the theft. He
refuses to accompany the police (
to make an arrest and also ie-
fuses to disclose the man's name
and location, although he asks
the assistance of the police.

Bert Hav n is now wanting to
buy a poodle dog, as he has de-
cided that dealing in lighting
bull dogs i3 unprofitable. Bert
gave S10 for what he thought a
bull dog of superior fighting
qualities but the dog's fighting
ability was discovered Wednes-
day morning when he came in
contact with a cur on Broadway.
The cur showed its ability and |
defeated Bert's bull dog in a
heated one round battle and
forced the bull <«og to make a
hasty iretrcat. If any onjhas a
poodle dog for sale, w'e &re sure
Bert is on the market.
