Germans are burning and

aration to abandon the Italian
metropolis, front reports said
tonight as the sweeping allied
Mediterranean offensive envel-

broken out as the Germans
went on a wanton rampage of
destruction and cruelty.

Henderson,Tex., Sept. 21
While the official Railroad
Commission report on the test
made at the Beacon No. 1, J.
H. Alien Estate, has not been
announced, it was learned
through authoritative sources
this afternoon the 24-hour test
would show production of ap
proximately 250 barrels of oil
daily.
The test started yesterday
morning and was completed
at 10:4o this morning.
From the interest manifest-
ed in the discovery, which is
considered one of unusual im-
portance to the oil industry in
this area, it is apparent that
the Henderson Field discovery
will result in development on
a scale of unusual scope. Leas-
ing and royalty buying com-
bined have surged feverishly
for several days and it is un-
derstood that other testa in
the county in heretofore un-
tested areas are in the making.
