Oil and Gas Excitement

They are having it down in Gage County

Special Dispath to the World-Herald

Beatrice, Neb., Jan 13 -  Wuite a little excitement has been caused here by the report that oil and natural gas have been found on a small creek near Tate,  in the southern part of this county.

Traces of oil and gas has been noticed in that locality for over a year, and yesterday several Beatrice parties visited the spot.  A hole was bored in the ice on the creek and the gas when lit threw up a flame five feet high and made the water boil.

There are numerous other places over the county where a greasy looking substance resembling oil has been noticed along small creeks and the general opinion is that oil and gas can be found here in paying quantities.

An expert has been sent for and some interesting developments are looked for.
