Priest in the north part of town wag entirely consumed by fire about one o'clock last Thursday night. The fire department turned out but were too late to do any good.

The round house men first saw the fire and gave the alarm, but by the time the town was aroused the whole house was in flames. The Priest family sleeps at the home of Mrs. Dunsmore, next door south, who is an invalid and the mother of Mrs. Priest.

north of town in bringing in a good many promoters. Representatives for various brunches of business allied with the oil game have been here the past week to see how things would shape themselves in the event that the well turns out to be a producer G. R. Meehan, representating the White Truck company, appeared to be the most enthusiastic of the visitors and said that his company was ready to provide transportation service. They aim to get in on the ground floor of every oil boom and their business is to haul the oil from the well to the railroad tank oars.

Pipe lines would not be laid here until the field was more thoroughly developed, so it would furnish a fine opening for motor transportation companies. A representative of a pipe line company came in Saturday and was driven out to the scene of activities by T. B. Lamoreaux. He milled around among the oil enthusiasts here before gang out to see how things were looking and gave out the information that his company was equipped to put down five miles of pipe per hour.

He stated that more development would kc necessary before pipe lines would be laid, but he came to gain an in, sight to the situation. The development is being watched keenly by all branches of oil operators. They want to get in on the ground floor if Ward Elder bring: in a big producer. Nothing has etelPed tne Past week in the oif situation north of town, other than that the drillers have gone through a pocket of oil sand and are again in shale. They have had a serious time with the inflow of salt water and have been able to make little progress at drilling.

The depth of the well makes operations necessarily difficult and slow, but the drillers are working faithfully at their job and believe they are in the immediate locality of a good strike since the sand they encountered produced oil. The news of the showing at the well spread so rapidly last week that crowds swarmed to the well Sunday all. day. The 'grounds were parked full of cars and it looked like an old fashioned Fourth of July gathering. All of northern Kansas and southern Nebraska was represented.

Many of the reports had been exaggerated and a good many people drove from a distance expecting to see oil spouting from the hole. Confidence in the well is expressed by all oil men, who believe that the showing so far is sufficient to assure a successful outcome. The Sentinel has had many inquiries from individuals and newspapers as to the status of the well. Those interested in the test do not want people to become over confident, but they feel satisfied that their efforts' will be successful.
