SEALY BROWN TELLS A STORY. Informs Cherryvale of Coffeyville's Fortune In Drilling. Cherryvale Republican: County Gas Inspector Sealy Brown who was here, this afternoon, tells a story of finding gas in an abandoned field that would be hard to credit were it not for his known veracity and reliability.

Mr. Brown says the city of Coffey, ville has drilled in several wells on lets and parcels of ground from which gas had been drawn for 20 years. Several years ago the wells in the vicinity where the recent ones have been drilled were pulled and the leases abandoned.

Each one of several wells drilled in showed a daily production of 600.000 cubic feet and rock pressure of 168 pounds.

And the most remarkable part of the story is that the abandoned wells were all "wet" while the new ones are blue dry. Gas was fcund in the same sand in both instances at a depth of 735 feet. The first time each well was wet while the wells just drilled in are dry. HEW "slWALKS ORDERED Commission Hears Reports and Passes Whistling Ordinance.
