About eight months ago work was suspended , but a few days ago oil was again discovered , forming a scum over Papio crook. The drillers nro now working on Trenton rock , and as soon as they can manage tbo strong pressure of tbo water they belieVe the oil can be pumped out. Mr. John T. Cathors , who Is a member of the company , said yesterday that work would never have boon suspended and that oil would have been found before now had it not been for the deplorable management of former movers in the enterprise who would not allow the workers of the well supplies. The casing placed in by the lirst. drillers was thin and soon burst under the Immense pressure - sure of the water. Mr. Cathors stated thut whoa the casing burst , oil could bo dipped off tbo water. With proper casing the wntor would have been shut oft and oil could have been pumped without uny difllculty , as the pressure of water would not have driven the oil back. Mr. Gathers thinks that the well is stronger than tbo famous ono in Thorn croeit. Butler county , Pa. , and ho is very sanguine on indications as to what the well will produce.

The case of the Kopubllcan Nowspnpor company against the Northwestern Associa ted Pro s , was continued In United States court ycstorday. Major Wilcov was cross-oxamlued by the attorneys for the defense Ito admitted that the Republican comnany was behind two months in payment of duos on the telegraph service nt the IImo of suspension. 4 There was some humor in the proceedings ns the daso wont grinding or. . Mr. Hull was attempting to draw from Major Wilcox a statement that tbo paper hnd boon losing for some time prior to the suspension. Mr. BrccKcnrldgo objected nnd started to illustrate - trato the case : "Suppose that you hnd n valuable horse , " ? nul the attorney , nadrossincr the Judge , "which vou were Keeping at great expense , nnd some man should shoot that horse some night " "That is not a supposable case , " Inter rupted the Judge , and the attorney's Illustra tion wus coinplotoly a tint to rod by tbo laugh ter that followed. Major Wilcox said hu lost between $00,000 and S.000 while ho ran the paper. lie paid $10KH ( ) cash , and a note for $11,500 , nnd put In the old Dispatch plant valued at $ IO,0Kmnk- ( ) Ing about ! 0,000 In all , for tbo ontlro Repub lican plant , whqn ho purchased it from Nye & Johnson. Attornovs for the Press association pro duced a bundle ot dodger Issues In December , 1800 , and called The Omaha Republican. Major Wilcox said thattteso were the snoots bo issued at the tlmo ho intended to revive the Republican. Those dodgers were about 10x11 inches In sue and contained four pages. Wilcox said bo Intended to enlarge tbo concern as soon us ho could got the news. In rcdlrootoxamlnation Wilcox said he paid the debts of the corporation with his own privnto funds and ho intended to simply the corporation with funds to continue the publication of the papar in case he could have gotten the telegraphic service. Just where J. C. Wilcox , personally , and J. C. Wilccx , as crosidpnt of the alleged corporation could bo separated In tbo trans action nppenivd to bo very indistinct. Most of the time tbo witness said , "I intended to do" thus and so , not mentioning the fact that an } ' other members of the corporation figured in tbo business at all. Ills attorney would occasionally cull his attention to the alleged company of which ho was president and then tno witness would tell about what "tho cor poration" had intended to do. During the discussion of a point In the cross-examination Judga Dundy gave it as his opinion that the question of datnago to tbo proprietor of the Republican or any paper - per rusultlng from a cancellation of tbo tdlo- graphu : franchise depended largely upon whether that paper was a money malting era a money slnUini : Institution. IIo thought that it could not bo a very great loss to a man to bo deprived of a business enterprise in which ho was sinking money every day , but if ho were making money out of a particular enterprise it cnrtainly would bo a loss for him to bo deprived - privod of that enterprise. Air. W. W. Umsteatl , local manager for the Western Union Telegraph company , was called to the witness stand. His evidence pertained simply to his duties in collecting the hargos for the telegraphic service fur nished the newspapers by the Associated pro3s through the Western Union Telegraph company. In the afternoon M. C. E. Yost was called to the witness stand. His testimony was confined monly to business transactions between - tweon the Press association nnd the Repub lican years before Wilcox owned it. Mr. Will Millard was also a witness. Ho testilled as to the correspondonca that took place between the Omaha National hanlc and Mr , D. N. Richardson , president of tbo Northwestern Associated Pross. soon after tbo Republican suspended. Ho said the bank had loaned money to Wilcox and had taken a chattel raortgago upon the newspaper plant , franchise and all , as security. They tolecranhoa Mr. Richardson on July 31 , the next day after the paper failed to appear , asking what effect a temporary suspension would have upon tbo franchise. Ho identi fied a reply from Mr. Richardson , offered in evidence , to tuo onect that a temporary sus pension would not affect the franchise if the dues were promptly paid. Subsequent cor respondence showed , however , that Mr. Richardson meant by a temporary susnnn- sion a mat'or of a few days or a WOOK. Mr. Millard said tbo bank paid the tolojiraphlo dues for tbo Republican for a time. Counterfeiter Fined. Mrs. Emma Hlko of Table Rock was brought to Omaha by a deputy Utilted States marshal upon n chnrgo of cir culating rountorfelt money. She was con nected -with the Petty gang at Beatrice. Mrs. lliko was unmarried at the tlmo the cnmo for which she was arrested was com mitted. Her maiden name was Grllllth and she was married December i4 ! , nt Tnbla Rook.
