Show JACOB LONG, WIZABD. kiCMARKABLE FINDS CREDITED TO INDIANA MAN. NrM Ms Id In Be Stick Prediction Profitable Welle knvnrlnbly Accant Located by Old Kea'e Divining Pow-er- a Hu Lucil Kspntntioa. (Jefferson City, Ind., Letter.) FAMILIAR figure on the Btreete ot thia city 1b that o( an old, gray haired man, with a once frame, powerful now bent with agand which shows the effects of unceasing toll. He Is none other than Jacob Long, the Indiana oil wizard, whose phenomenal predictions have attracted the attention of those who were the first to ridicule his theory. Twenty years ago, when yet In his prime. Long was sought alter far and near. He was known, as a water witch and whenever a sawmill or place of residence was selected It was then that Long was called upon to see if nature had made a provision for water. By means of a forked stick one prong of which he held In each hand, and the single prong pointing upward, Long would begin his search for the vein of water. As he passed over the vein the forked stick would turn in his hands and point downward. So unerringly did Long perform his work that no one thought of putting down a well in bis vicinity unless the water witch was consulted. Once, about twenty years ago, while Long was searching for water, his forked peach limb performed such antics that even the diviner was amazed. When seeking to locate water the stick always turned outward from him and pointed down, but only when standing directly over the vein of water and losing the strange power when it was crossed. But on this occasion the peach limb turned both inward and outward and on any place within a several acre tract. This phenomena was more than Long could comprehend. He studied about it several weeks and finally went to J. H. Dowell, who Is now, as he was then, one of the most prominent cltlsens here and Inquired what else could be found In the earth. Dowell, after enumerating many natural products, stated that in some parts of the country oil and gas were also found. Long then announced to bis rural neighbors that under their farms lay vast reservoirs of gas and oil. So absurd did ibis seem that he was laughed at and suspicions cast upon his sanity. He tried to induce some of his acquaintances to aid in proving his assertions, but without feuccess. By hard work he had secured a little farm, and when confronted by financial difficulties he deeded1 it to a brother, who subsequently refused to deed it back. Long naturally resented thia Injustice and after a stormy interview with his brother ho decided to try his fortunes in another state. He went to Crawford county, - and a half west of this city, the wizard located a well for the Manhattan Oil Company, although there was not an oil well In a radius of several miles from there, and it was situated la wildcat territory. Long not only said it would be a good well, but stated the exact depth the oil would be encountered and within a few Inches the thickness of the oil bearing rock cr sand. He positively states that this well Is on the edge of a great oil pool, which Is a little to the southeast This wild cat well located is now making 150 barrels a day, and the same company is putting two more wells on adjoining leases and other companies are being attracted to the field, which, it Is believed, is destined to outrival the famous Peru field. All this comes about through the efforts of the oil wizard, who was Jeered at and considered a lunatic twenty years ago for predicting that there was oil within the boundaries of the state. The faith Longs farmer friends now have in him is shodra by their eagerness to drill an abandoned well 200 feet deeper, as directed by the wizard. The Manhattan Oil Company drilled a well on the Knox farm four miles north of town, near the wizards home. He predicted that Its production would be greater than any well in the state. The company experienced great difficulty in putting down the well and finally abandoned it after reaching the regulation depth,, when it was a strong gaser. Drilling stopped 200 feet short of the wizards required limit, and now a movement is on foot to drill the well 200 feet deeper, as Long strenuously contends and his followers believe it will results as he predicts. On many other wells he has gratuitously volunteered his predictions with great accuracy. Long Is 60 years old and & bachelor. Although he was born in this country, he can speak English only He brokenly, and prefers German. admits that aside from being able to locate oil wells he is the most ignorant man in the country, being unable to read or write and knowing little of the outside world.

Shod in heavy sabots, and seated on a knoll, the painter is represented looking out over his native fields; he is not painting he is contemplating with a gaze of keen insight the scenes amid which he worked so well. That the statue is a good one and Is greatly appreciated In France, we may understand from the words of M.

During his stay there the county experienced an oil boom, in which Jake and his forked stick cut quite a figure. Finding few who would believe in nls strange power and having no money of his own, ha gave his services for little or nothing. He worked hard to accumulate money to put down a well for himself, but fortune was reluctant to smile upon him. He claims now to possess the secret of a pool of oil three miles wide and a little over a mile long in the Ohio field, which he hopes some time to test and of which he has told no one the location.
