During the past week representa-
tives of big million dollar concerns
have been in this field, looking over
the territory, and it is not improbable?
that a new field of operations will be
opened up in the very near future.
It is reported that two addltionaF
rigs have been shipped to Millsap ancF
that an oil man largely Interested inr
Oklahoma has purchased $40,000'
worth of casing and machinery froi

J. W. RUMAGE CRITICALLY ILL
AT HOME ON ALAMO STREET
J. W. Rumage returned from Fort
Worth and Dallas Wednesday on train
No. 3, but prior to the trainls arrival
in Weatherford, Mr. Rumage was seiz-
ed with a partial "stroke of paralysis
and had to be carried from the train
on a cot. He was at once taken to
his home on South Alamo street,
where medical attention was given.
Mrs. Rumage, who was at the store
when the train came, was also sum-
moned home and while Mr. Rumage
seemed to know what was going on
for a time after the arrival of his wife,
speech left him entirely about 1
o'clock, when total paralysis came
upon him. He has remained in a
state of unconsciousness ever since,
although all that could be done has
been done for his relief.
Mr. Rumage has not been in gQod
health for several months, and was
being treated by physicians in Dallas,
where he went last Tuesday, returning
to Fort Worth that afternoon and
spending the night with a brother.
Harry Kuteman met Mr. Rumage
at the union station, Fort Worth, and
in response to an inquiry as to how
he felt, complained of feeling poorly.
However, Mr. Rumage boarded the
train alone, but had little to say to
friends who passed him. He was tak-
en sick at his stomach near Iona while
the train was stopped waiting for a
freight train ahead to clear the track.
After vomiting he felt better he said,
but seemed to be in a slight stupor,
and when he reached the city he was
unable to walk and could articulate
but little.
Mr. Rumage has hundreds of friends
in Parker county who will regret to
legrn of his critical condition. Little
hope is held out for his recovery.
