MAY MAKE AN OTHER OIL TEST AT NEHAWKA J. H. O'Hara, Holder of Large Num ber of Leases There Is Promising to Drill Well There James T. O'Hara Here. Last Tuesday James T. O'ljara, who was here in the interest of the drilling for oil, was in town and was looking after some business and was arranging to drill for oil and this time with the hope of attaining the object of their search. Mr. O'Hara 'in conversation with the representa tive of this paper said, that he was sure that there was oil here and that while he had said that the drill ers would find granite where they drilled that as he was under con tract to drill the well where the geologists designated he had to stand by and allow the work to go on when he felt certain that it would result in failure. He feels certain that there is oil here, and also that had the drillers gone the required 35 hundred feet, they would have got ten oil where they were working. He expects to arrange for the sinking of another well. Will Play Basket Ball The young ladies' as well as the boys' basketball teams of the Nehaw ka, will go on this Friday to Otoe where they will play the teams of that school. By the way the girls team of the Nehawka schools have not been beaten this season, and have contested with some very strong teams during the time, once against thaqlmnct unnannuichahlp team of girls from Murdock. The girls of ; the Nehawka team are playing very' good basketball this winter. j Lacerated Hand Badly. ' Last week while James McVey was endeavoring to change his wind shield on his car, the frames of which were pretty tight, he pushed his hand through the glass cutting it very severely, so much that it re quired the service of the surgeon who took four stitches to close the gapping wound. He is getting along nicely at this time and hopes soon to be as good as ever. , The Nehawka antecline. where the state geologists have held the most optomistic hopes of location of a flowing oil field, is to have another test made in the hopes of uncovering a real field there, according to the statements made by J. II. O'Hara, holder of a large number of the oil leases in that locality. Mr. O'Hara was at Nehawka this week looking over the territory and is decided that there should be an other well sunk there to fully de termine whether or not there is a paying oil prospect there and he is making his plans to have the work started when the season opens up to allow the drilling to be carried on as it should be. The owner of the leases believes that the site formerly selected was one where the formation of the ante cline was such as to bring in the granite ledges between the drilling operations and the oil stream and if the drilling is resumed this coming spring and summer the site of the operations will undoubtedly be along the vicinity of the Weeping Water creek where the formations give less evidence of rock formations and where it is hoped the oil stream may be located in more favorable drilling operation. While not designating the spot where the drilling would be started Mr. O'Hara was of the opinion that this work would probably be taken up among the first pieces of land leased for the drilling purposes last year and which will mean that the operations will be in the immediate vicinity of Nehawka. The test well being tried in an other formation of land will give a much better opportunity of determin ing whether or not there is oil there and be more satisfying to the Cass county people. In almost all oil fields there have been many test wells sunk before a successful one was re vealed and this may prove the case in the Nehawka antecline. S Ladios' and Children's Hose!

John Peter Stoll Passes. Last Sunday morning after an ill ness extending over some four years John P. Stoll passed away at the home where he was born some 57 years ago, and where he had lived since. Mr. Stoll was stricken about four years since with an enlarged spleen, and while everything possil !e was done, by specialists and the local physicans. he did not throw off the dread malady. During the past year he has grown much weaker, and wasted away in flesh until the time of his death he wa3 very poor in body, and with but little strength. Mr. Stoll was one of the best of citi zens and has lived with the people of this community for more than a half century, they learing to honor and love him for his Stirling qualities of character, which he manifested at all times.
