A ghastly find was made by Dr. D.
II. Miller and Night Policeman Heis-
tan about midnight Wednesday night
when both were gven hurried calls to
the Taylor flat. West Fayette street.
At the end of the hall leading
through the second floor, they found
George A. "Bailey" Taylor, lifeless ln
a pool of blood. He had been seized
with a hemorrhage of the stomach
and bleed to death before assistance
arrived.
Bailey, as he was familiarly known
lived with bis aged mother. Mrs.
James Taylor ln their fiat on the
second floor of the Taylor building,
above Klndell's Drug store. West
Fayette street.
He seemed in his usual robust
health Wednesday and joked roundly
wrth Dr. Miller, when the latter call
ed on Mrs. Taylor, who has been 111
for some months, shortly after sup
per Wednesday evening.
Sometime before midnight he was
undoubtdly suddenly seized. Feel
ing the necessity of assistance, with
blod flowing from his mouth, he went
to his mother's room to awaken her.
Before Bhe was rightly awake, how
ever. It seems that he probably rea
lized she, ln her feeble condition
would be unable to assist him, he
grouped his way back through the
hall to the telephone. He rang for
central, but undoubtedly fell uncon
scious before he could ask for aid.
Mrs. Nelle Landfalr, on night duty at
the exchange, got the ring, and re
ceiving no answer she became alarm
ed and called Night Policeman Hels
tan, who hurried to the Taylor home.
In the meantime Mrs. Taylor
awakened, discovered the blood on
her bed and receiving no answer to
calls for her son, made her way
downstairs, something she has not
done unassisted for several years and
to the Ashley hotel, where Dr. Miller
was summoned. He thought the call
was to the bedside of the aged moth
er. As he reached the Taylor home,
he met Policeman Heistan, and the
latter accompanied Doc upstairs. The
place was ln darkness, but with the
use of flash lights which both car
ried they saw the blood covered floor
and going to the rear of the hall, near
the telephone, found Mr. Taylor's
lifeless body. The door frames and
walls were splotched with blood,
where the dying man had braced him
self to keep from falling on his way
to his mother's room and back again
to the telephone.
The awful shock of the sudden
death and the hazardous trip ln
search of assistance may prove fatal
to the aged mother, whose health has
been very poor for sometime past
Deceased was the oldest son of the
later Dr. James Taylor, and was
about 57 years of age.
Besides his mother he is survived
by two brothers and two sisters

Ft. Recovery Tribune-Journal
Its taking a lot of territory to make
the statement, bu he F. Recovery oil
field is a present the hardest fought
field in the United States. Some
thing is going to hapen soon. Either
the bubble is going to burst or the
field will be opened and worked to
death.
With the price of crude oil ap
proaching the $1.80 mark, the pot has
begun to boil furiously. The rivalry
of a dozen or more companies to se
cure leases Is almost bitter. Then,
too. there are the speculators or wiia-
catters to reckon with. Men who
cannot tell an oil lease from a mar
riage license are leasing every avail
able potato ptch. So far but two
wells have been put down and these
by the Three Counties Co., of Port
land. They are located in what is
generally considered the choice terri
tory which extends from Wendelin
south, almost to the Darke county
line.
Fort Recovery is evidently looked
upon as an Eldorado by oil men of
Gibson and Recovery twnships seem
to be their firm belief. Many of
them prefer leases elsewhere.
Several months ago the Three
Counties Co. prepared to open the
eld and drilled two wells southi of
town. One was a dry hole and the
other a gasser. In the meantime A.
J. Bauer had given the field the once
over and was starting to lease. A
gumshoe represenative of another
company was at Bauer's heels, then
the speculators and the rush was on.
There is an oil pool in this neigh
borhood as has been proven by the
results of the operations of the Three
Counties Co., but the question is
"What is the extent." The field at
Wendelin was at one time the best ln
the state. For many years It has not
been actively operated, and after ly
ing dormant for so long a time water
and other forces may have caused a
quantity of the crude product to ao
cumulate. There are other places
where the field has been tested it has
been said several years ago but Its
discovery was kept secret for future
use. One driller states that he was
putting down a gas well several years
ago and struck oil. The well would
have been a good producer but he was
Instructed to cprsb drilling and plug
the well immediately. It is safe to
say that a watchful eye has been kept
on the lease since that time.
