Balem There is yet a remote possi bility that oil may be struck in Marion county, a the most recent discoverie would seem to indicate. At tne town of Pratuma, about 10 miles from Ralcm. three is an old well in the rear of the home and blacksmith shop owned by the Kice Bros. This well haa been aoanaonea ior several months because it "roared, that is, made a noise like the sound ieard in a seashell, and because tne water did not taste good. A few days ago one of the Rice brothers let a bucket down into the well, and when he pulled t up he was surprised to find that there wai about half an inch of erode petroleum floating upon the top of the ater. The incident has created quite a stir in the neighborhood, and it i quite probable that steps lill be taken in the near futuie toward the sinking of a ell for the purpose of securing oil in paying quantities.
