CITY MENACED
BY OIL GUSHER
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.)
NEW YORK, November 1
News from Oklahoma City states that a wild gusher is spouting clouds of inflammable oil and gas, and threatens the city. It is stopping traffic and imperilling lives. The gusher is emitting sixty thousand barrels of oil and gas in a running hundred million cubic feet daily right alongside the city’s wholesale district. A south-west wind blows the oil spray into the heart of the city, and any spark may cause a fire that would sweep away thousands of homes. Hundreds of families went without their breakfast, for all household fires are prohibited. /
