After a period of Inactivity extend

has again been resumed on the oil well

Sutherlin Sun. It is understood that
the delay In drilling operations was
due to the fact that a portion of the
equipment which was being used in
rimming out the hole became fast at
a depth of Beveral hundred feet, and
that it was only dislodged and remov
ed after considerable time and effort.
' During the past ten days or more

the principal promoters of the enter
prise, has. been at the well Riving per

put in and the flow of salt water.
which was giving the drillers much
trouble, has been shut off.
Two expert drillers are now in
charge of the well, and they expect
to make good progress with the work

NEW BRUNSWICK. N. J Sent. 12.
The search for the "woman with
terrifying eyes," accused by Charlotte
Mills, daughter of Mrs. James Mills,
slain with Rev. Edward Hall on an
abandoned farm, as being responsible
for the couples death, occupied the
police today.
"Find the Woman."
"NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Sept 22.
-"Find the woman." This was the
order today in the investigation of the
case ot W. H. Hall, rector ot the fash
ionable church of St John the Evan
gelist and his choir leader, Mrs. Elinor
Mills. Investigators devoted their ef
forts to finding the "Jealous woman"
who, it is reported, gossiped with
church members regarding alleged In
timacy of the clergyman and Miss
Mills. This woman la said to have
informed Mills, sexton ot the church,
that he should keep a close watch on
bis wife.
If she can be found, police believe
they will bavo located the woman who
wrote love notes to Hall, and wno
might have been so maddened by Jeal
ousy that she would commit murder.
Mills was summoned by detectives to
day to be present as the Identity ot
the woman who told him ot the gos

Tbe woman under investigation, ac
cording to investigators, started tbe
congregation -abuses with "trashy1
tales concerning the assassination ot
the millionaire minister and the wife

Church. , , , ,
Mills stated that he waa greatly con
cerned and worried when the gossip
first reached his ear.
I decided to do what the Rev. Hall
has so often told us from tbe pulpit
that if a person has anything against
a brother in cburcn, go to nim tor an
understanding." he declared.
After thinking things over, ana
nravine. I went to my pastor.

much, hesitation told him what 1 had
heard and asked him if it were true.
" 'Why. of course not. no said. My
Interest in Mrs. Mills is only that of
una Christian to another that ot a
nastor for n member of his flock.
"After he told me that I felt asham

for ever letting the gossips put such
a notion In. my head. . He forgave me
readily and I left his study and came

1WKW HIIUNSWICK. N. J.. Sept 22
(By the Associated Press.) "A
Jealous woman killed my mom ana
Mr. Hall."
This assertion, tilting In perfectly
with the theory which authorities in
vA.iiiraiinr th murder of Mrs. Elean
or Relnhart Mills and Rev. Edward
wheeler Hall are bending every enori
tn nmvs. was made this evening by
Charlotte Mills, 16-year-old daughter of
the slain woman. It was tbe first time
she had broken her'Sllenee save be

left her Its mistress.
"The womsn I think killed mom,

also have admitted was the center of
most ot their suspicions.
Eves InsDirs Fesr,
"This womsn Isn't an ordinary
woman," she went on. "She has fun

sort of like a man you see that hates
young people. She was three times

her mother's name with tnai ot tne

"Mom did a lot of work that a pas

One of the strongest leads followed
today waa that of a reported attempt
to poison Mrs. Mills at a tea party
several weeks before she and the min

When Mrs. James Tennlson, another
sister of the dead woman, confirmed
this report with tbe statement that
Mrs. Mills had told of being made 111 1
