Whole Field Is Practically Controlled
by Corporation The Well la
Considered a Stayer.
Houston, Tex I.ocal oil interests
wore startled on Friday with tho an-
nouncement that tin* Mound Oil Com-
pany had brought In a well at lios-
kins Mound which was doing better
than 2,000 barrels daily. The well has
been flowing pure oil dally without a
trace of milt water, and Indications
are that it will be a steady and con-
sistent producer, it la averaging bet
tcr than U.onO barrels and local oil
men are confident that iloskins Mound
will hereafter be known as one of the
big producing fields of the state.
That tho Mound Oil Company con.
trols two pipe lines, one being from
the field at Iloskins Mound to Gal
veston bay, the other to the Browns
ville railroad, is known to hut few, so
quietly has the development of the
field been conducted. Many Hons-
tonkins and one or two others, control
all of the proven territory, and it Is
believed that the field will extend out-
side of the corporation's holdings,
which consist of 10,000 acres.
Judge T. W. Ford of this city Is
largely Interested In the field, and his
son, Mr 11, H. Ford, who also resides
In Houston, is manager of the com-
pany's operations. Judge Ford con-
firmed the report that a lucky strike
had been made. He said the well was
easily doing 2,000 barrels, with no ap-
paeut d 1 iniii11oti In the strength of
thu pressure since the well had come
In. The oil grades 21J gravity.
About four ye.us ago a well flow-
ing about 2,000 barrels dally was
brought In at Iloskins Mound, but dl.
rectly after It was drilled the man-
agement was changed and In soino
manner the hole was ruined. Scvera
other wells In close proximity to the
ruined well were drilled and salt
water got into all of them and prac-
tically ruined that portion of the Held
The best well In the Held, when the
leCMIt IIIK RUll.< iiS Uillll v,..j not

field is only a short distance from
Houston.

Dallas. Tex.—Organizing quietly af
ter midnight, a mob estimated from
500 to 1000 men surrounded the Dallas
county Jali at 12:30 o'clock Friday
morning and demanded that Allen
Brooks, a negro, indicted for criminal
assault on
New York. Six great packing com-
panies and twenty-one packers, several
of them multi-millionaires, socially and
Industrially prominent, were indicted
by the grand jury in Hudson county,
New Jersey, Friday, charged with con.
apt racy in limiting the supply of meat
and poultry.
The Indictment Is drawn under the
law of New Jersey, which provides
upon conviction a maximum penalty
of three years In tho penitentiary or
a $1,000 tine, or both. The offense Is
extraditable, which means that prac-
tically all of the meat barons of tills
country must either successfully re-
sist extradition or come to Jersey city
for trial.
Pierre Qavan, the public ■Dros'>ciito-
<if Hudson county, announced that he
would forthwith notify the defendants
of the Indictments and would be ready
to force extradition in every case
where the Individual concerned is not
willing to face trial voluntarily. None,
lie says, will be spared.
