The hip is now being placed in a plaster cast and it is believed Mr. Blair can return home for nursing in a few days.

Evansville (IN) Daily Journal, November 11, 1865. Going for Oil-The Bloomington Petroleum Company has their derricks erected on the premises of Mr. A. Smith in the north part of town and have commenced boring. The main design, we believe, is to satisfactorily test the matter as to whether oil does really exist in this region of country, more than the gain they expect to receive from it. We hope they may also make it profitable. Mr. George Heppert has also procured an engine and other apparatus for the purpose of boring for oil on the premises of Capt. Ravenscroft one and a half miles west of town and will commence operation as soon as the works can be put up. Mr. Heppert is one of our most enterprising businessmen and will put things through as they should be. We wish him great success. -Bloomington Republic
