By the beginning of January the drill was down to 1,200 feet. On January 10, 1901, the drill was lowered into the hole, and within minutes, the well exploded.

Finally, a big fountain of oil gushed up out of the hole and almost drowned the crew. The noise stampeded cows several miles away. The gusher could be seen for ten miles. What event is taking place in the reading?
A. The gusher Spindeltop is discovered in Texas.
B. Cattle stampeded and ruined an oil field.
C. Poorly laid railroad track caused a wreck.
D. Texans and Mexican battle using cannons and pipes and weapons.
