ing up the balance of the new work.
The Corsicana Petroleum Co. has
started to drill deeper its No. 48 Allen
(Red River) farm and is making a
new location for No. 26 on the S. E.
Honaker farm. The Producers Oil
Co. probably will complete a dry one
in its test on the Ziesett tract, as they
are drilling ahead at 2,490 feet with
very poor prospects of getting a pay-
ing producer. The same company’s
No. 5 on the W. B. Honaker farm is
1,080 feet and shut down and No. 58
Waggoner is dry in the 2,595-foot
sand. The Five Rivers Oil Co. is shut
down at 1,200 feet on No. 7 Marriott
and has not decided whether the well
is to be drilled deeper or abandoned.

R. V. Gwinn, the genial chief of po-
lice of Wichita Falls, came to Electra
yesterday with the M. W. A. bunch
and paid the News office a pleasant
call. As he dropped in during the
rush hour we were unable to enter-
tain him as we should have liked to,
but hope he will accept the will for
the deed.

“THE GIRL AND THE STAMPEDE”
First among the corps of distin-
guished artists-selected for “The Girl
and the Stampede,” stands tne talen-
ted jtoung author and actor, Mr. Victor
Lambert, who has in past years con-
tributed much toward making success-
ful several of the theatrical produc-
tions of note.
He portrays the type of the true
Western manly man, “in a manner
that is lifelike and soul stirring.”
The author has surrounded himself
with a company of artists fully capa-
ble of handling their respective parts
in keeping with all of Mr. Lambert’s
productions.
“The Girl and the Stampede” will be
