LOUISVILLE BOY PRAIS
ED FOR BRAVERY AT FIRE
The 13th floor of the magnificant'

The Omaha Bee in describing the
conflagration has the following to say
about a former Louisville boy, an
employe at the Fontenelle:
"Gail Mayfield, 4-year-old em
ploye, was prehaps the outstanding
hero of the fire.
v lit: ii tiauirs n ' i c icpui iru lad
ing on the 13th floor, he hurried
I up to the 12th floor, seized one of
the house emergency hose, climbed
out on a ledge just below the steep,
sloping roof of the building, and
played the hose on the flames through
a broken window.
"Flames flashed scortingly about
him; nearby windows were blown
out by exploding paint, and smoke
almost choked him. But he clung to
his ledge till the fire had been sub
dued." Gail Mayfield is the youngest son
of the Courier editor. He has been
with the Fontenelle for some time.

the top figure paid for heavy weight
steers at the Chicago market August
eleventh when he received $10.35 per

The consignment consisted of two
loads which averaged 1,325 pounds,
and were so smooth and even from

Northern .Nebraska where Mr. Boe
deker bought them when averaging
790 pounds, about eight months be

David W. Stewart since he became
successor to Senator Albert B. Cum
mins, the new senator declaring he
would carry oh an aggressive fight in
tthe coming short session of congress
for agricultural legislation satisfac
tory to the mid west.
Speaking before a homecoming
crowd here. Senator Stewart declared
he would "fight with all that I have
to advance, protect and maintain the
best interests of Iowa."
"I deplore sectionalism and pro
vincialism," Senator StewaTt said.
"The great strength of our national
ways has been in its political and
economic unity. However, the selfish
ness and sectionalism of the indus
trial and commercial east have made
it necessary for this great middle west
to develop a distinct consciousness as
a means of protecting and maintain
ing the legislation necessary for the
development of our farms, industry
ad commerce.
"I wish to tell you I have accepted
this trust that you have presented to
me with a full sense of my indebted
ness and my responsibility to Iowa
and 1 shall fight with all that I have
to advance, protect and maintain the
best interests of the state."
SNAKE RESTORES SPEECH
Allen town, Pa., Aug. 12. Twelve
years ago when she was a girl of 10
years old. Miss Minnie Wisher lost
the power of speech through fright
and since then has been unable to
utter a word. On Sunday, while out
walking with a number of her girl
companions, she encountered a rattle
snake coiled and ready to strike.
The sight of the reptile gave her
such a fright that she cried out, "a
snake." The sound of her voice
frightened the others almost as much
as It did the snake, as they had never
heard her speak a word.
As a result of the fright her speech
was restored and she again is able
to articulate as well as she did be
fore she was stricken.

Claim Oil Well
is Brought In on
Nebraska Land
J. P. Bcrtschv, Former Resident
Here, Has "Oil Finder" on Job
First Success in State
A 2 ."-barrel oil well on a location
predicted dry by geologists has been
drilled south of Campbell, Nebraska.
according to A. J. P. Bertschy, of
Omaha, and former Plattsmouth man,
who said oil would be found there.
This well is the first in the state ever
to find oil, although 31 dry holes
have ben drilled.
The well is being drilled by the
United States Drilling Co., of Camp
bell, of which Dr. G. R. Woods of
Campbell it president. Bertschy says
he is not interested in the company,
but holds a lease on land adjoining,
on which he proposes to drill an off
set if the Campbell is a payer.
Bertschy's report was corroborated
over the telephone by Dr. Woods.
The drilling will go ahead to a
depth of about two hundred feet fur
ther than the present 26 hundred, in
an effort to raise the production,
Bertschy said last night. Drillers are
hitting rock again, and may even
go to 29 hundred feet.
Geologists for the Maryland Oil
company had said earlier that no
oil would be found near Campbell,
which is about 20 miles from the
Kansas line, almost due north of the
Russell field. University of Nebraska
geologists have repeatedly discount
ed the state's oil possibilities, but
none could be reached last night, fol
lowing announcement of the "find."
Location of Drilling
The Campbell well is located in
the southwest quarter of the north
east quarter, section 2, township 3,
range 13 west, in Franklin county
One of the offset locations is held
by the Mutual Oil company, a second
by Bertschy, and the other two by
the U. S. Drilling company, which
put down the test.
First drilling at the Campbell loca
tion began in 1923, but was aban
doned for a while when the original
company got into financial difficul
tiesties. Then the local syndicate
was stirred to action and drilling was
carried further.
Ninety feet of salt water was
found about 12 hundred feet down
in the well, and later a two-foot de
posit of extremely soft coal, little
harder than charcoal. This was at
1,360. according to the well's log in
possession of Mr. Bertschy. Later
.iron pyrites, gypsum and some as-
' , , , e .1 1, lnttn. o

Predicts More Sand
Oil sand was first touched Monday
morning. Bertschy reported, and af
ter the bit was sunk a few feet fur-
er, preparations were made to put
ing 25 barrels, he said.
' Mr. Bertschy predicted that when
,the drilling is carried further, thru
rork underlying the
a
j present sand, another oil sand will
; be found. He said an "oil finder" of
I his own invention indicated two sands
jwith oil of different gravities. He is
not sure which sand this should be,
but believes it may be the Mississip
pian stratum. In that case, he de
clared, the well should be a gusher.

EXPENSES OF CANDIDATES
Bright and early on the morning
after the state wide primary elec
tion three candidates for state of
fice had expense accounts on file in
the office of Secretary of State Pool.
Mr. Tool was one of these. The so
called anti-corrupt practices act re.
quires candidates to file with tlip
secreary an itemized statement of ex
penses incurred in the primary elec
tion. This is not required so the state
will know how much to reimburse
candidates. The state pays no elec
tion expenses. Candidates must pay
their own bills, or promise to. The
filing of expense accounts was origin
ally intended to head off corruption
in the spreading of money among the
voters of the state or district, in
short the law limits the expenditure
to a certain amount the scale being
graded and based on the number of
votes cast. Amendments to the law
have rendered it a poor means of
gaining an insight into real expendi
tures of candidates. The things
which cost most, such as transporta
tion, postage, circulars and letter;;,
hotel bills are not required by Un
law to be reported.
Secretary of State Pool, who had
no opposition as a democratic can
didate at the primary, reports the
expenditure of $38.25. This includes
a filing fee of $10 and $10 for ad
ertising in the publication issued by
the women's leabue of voters.
Lieutenant Governor Williams of
Fairmont reports the expenditure of
$127.65, the largest item being $1S.
20 for the Nebraska press associa
tion for advertising.
William H. Smith of Seward, demo
cratic nominee for state auditor, ex
pended a total of $12. He spent $10
for payment of the legal filing fee
and paid E. L. Brother $2 for print
ing. CO-ED CHUMS PLAN
