A—10 GUSHER SUBOUED WTH DOUBLE D Oklahoma “Wild Mary” Oil-“ Soaked Land to Be Turned | Under to Foil Fire. | OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.,, April 7.— Outsmarted by the ingenuity of man, the crafty No. 1 Mary Sudik, wild out- | law gusher of the South Oklahoma City | oil fleld, today fumed and fretted | against the steel barrier that held her giant energy in check. The well was placed under control late yesterday after 11 days of liberty. During that time the gusher showered | the countiyside for miles around witn | an estimated daily average of 48,000 barrels of petroleum. With the petroleum geyser halted, operators in the field drew sighs of relief. Because of the danger that the spraying gas and oil would catch fire, | all other activities in the district have been halted. A stray spark from two | clanging pieces of steel and the territory | might have become a raging inferno. | If the "Wild Mary” remains under control, plows tomorrow will start turn- ing under the oil-soaked terrain. Once the oil has been covered up or drained off all of the 147 active operations in the field will be resumed. Strong Mechanism Used. A double die nipple, secured above | @ series of fittings that included two master gates, finally halted the column of oil which was backed by a daily flow | of some 200.000,000 c Twice previously the By the Associated Press. | | DR.

Then it self- cut two additional thra for security. | A fantail was used to affix the double die to the casing. The fantail was placed over the well, and the “Wild Mary's pressure playing through jets aided in lowering the cap through the blast. Master Gate Blown Out.
