NATURAL PRODUCER EXTENDS
BOWLES POOL TO NORTHEAST
Third and largest producer for the Taylor county field six
miles east of Abilene this morning proved a northeast extension
by flowing 15 barrels of 44.5 gravity oil per hour while drill-
ingin.
The well, W. J. Murray and Mark Brannon No. 2 Joe Evans,
gives the Bowles pool its first natural flush producer, with an
indicated potential production of about 360 barrels per day as
it stands.
Operators last week had cemented six-inch casing at 1,727
feet after topping sand at 1,732 feet, about four feet structur-
ally higher than Murray et al No. 1 Evans.
With plugs drilled out this morning, lag showed sandy shale
to 1,735 feet, increase in oil saturation in sand to 1,740 feet.

COPS GET HEADACHE AS ’FRUGAL BURGLAR’ STRIKES AGAIN Former Mayor
Reiterates Aim
A persisitent prowler, dubbed
some weeks ago Abilene's “frug-
al burglar," was a headache to
the police department again to-
day.
Last night the elusive thief
hurled a rock through the plate
glass door of the Clinic pharm-
acy, at 1442 North Third street.
Then he entered, scooped 120
out of the cash register and
fled.
The feat duplicated earlier
performances of the prowler,
who has consistently taken cash
and nothing else. Frequently
he has passed up valuable mer-
chandise. easily disposed of but
also easily identified.
This time, however, officers
had at least a meager descrip-
tion. They were told by neigh-
bors that the burglar was tall
and clad in a light shirt and
khaki trousers.
How ingeniously he works was
demonstrated in last night’s en-
try. Patrolman Charles Harkey

Only a few minutes later the

first flow of oil at 1,745 feet
and increase in both gas and oil
to 1,750 feet. Both gas pres-
sure and oil was increasing this
morning as it was deepened to
1,752 feet.
MORE TANKS ORDERED
During the time it was being
drilled in, the well flowed 30 bar-
rels the first two hours and made
12 barrels the last 45 minutes into
storage. Two 100-barrel tanks are
set up on the lease and two addi-
tional tanks were ordered for de-
livery tomorrow.
The well is 460 feet northeast of
the same operators' first producer
which is making about 60 to 70
barrels of oil and about ten per
cent water daily on the pump.
FUGITIVE PRINCE

The agency said the action follow- j
ed wounding of a Hungarian fron-
tier guard by a Rumanian guards- 1
men at, Tecso, in southeastern, Hun-
gary, early today.
Two clashes were reported from 1
that section Saturday and Sunday
nights.
The Hungarian agency said the
clashes came after Rumanian guards
had fired on Hungarian raftsmen j
on the river and shots had struck
a Hungarian customs house.

Hunting Culprit
As guardian angel of Abi-

“It’s more of an Inconveni-

To Bring Suit
Unless a district court judge
says no sometime within the
next two months, Abilene will
have a fair this fall.
ISSUES CLARIFIED
Doubt had existed until thia
morning’ that the West Texas fair
world open its gates as scheduled
October 2. It still existed this after-
noon, but the issues in controversy
over construction of a new grand-4
stand were clarified .
Directors of the fair association:
voted shortly before noon to defy
the threat ot an injunction suit.
C .L. Johnson, cafe operator
and former mayor, had threat-
ened to bring the suit to block
spending of city funds for the
proposed grandstand. He still
promised to pursue that course
at noon today.
Johnsons intention of taking
court action was the outgrowth of
city commissioners agreement July
28 to underwrite costs of the grand-
stand and other Fair park improve-
ments It was estimated $15,000
would be required, and the city had
planned to advance $5,000 cash and
borrow the remainder; at not more
than six per cent interest.
The issues were aired at a meet-
ing this morning in the Abilene
chamber of commerce offices. Pro-
posals and counter-proposals were
offered without apparent progress
for an hour and a half. At infre-
quent intervals the discussion grew
heated.
SIBLEY MAKES MOTION
At length, W R (Ruck) Sibley,
deputy sheriff and a fair director,
arose and offered a motion the fair
association proceed with its plans
without regard for Johnson's threat.
Votes for his proposal were cast
by either 37 or 29—the two counts
made were at odds—ot the 43 men
present. Not balloting were Mayor
Hair and members of the city com-
mission. It was conceded details of
subsequent fair arrangements would
be left to the existing 19-man ex-
ecutive board of the fair associa-
tion.
Except for Johnson and part of
the city officials, all of those at-
tending were fair directon.
The next step was to outline spe-
cifically how the city is to secure
the $10,000 needed to supplement -
at liquidation there was a $550,000 I the $5,000 cash it has agreed to. ad-
vance. Mayor Hair said the prob-
lem was the fair directors.
Danzig Threatens
To Ignore Treaty

1—(P—Revival of “the herring and

from Danzig nazis today that fur-
ther Polish measures against Dan-

ignore treaty provisions placing the

administration
The conflict became bitter after
Polish customs officials moved to
halt shipment of the products of
one Danzig margarine firm into
Poland, charging violation of re-
cent customs arrangements.

inates the free city government,
said this and previous Polish re-
strictions on the margarine and

of approximately $5,000,000 worth
