Great Gusher of Oil Shocks West Virginia Makers
The South Penn strike on the Copley farm near Sand Fork in Lewis County yields an immense flow. Tanks fill rapidly, with early output around 24 barrels per hour and claims of over 8000 barrels daily. Limited tankage causes spills into Sand Fork, while a dam is built to salvage oil. Nearby Cox farm and Gordon field show additional productive potential as royalty trade intensifies. A separate accident on Leading Creek ends in a decapitation of 16 year old Judeon Sprouse, with report detailing the gruesome aftermath and funeral arrangements. A humorous encounter with a police officer on a nighttime doorstep adds local color to the same issue.
