An Accident Eeveals Well of Con
siderable Depth in the Rear
of Coryell Store
Workmen are busy in the rear of
the building at Fourth and Main
street which is occupied by the Cor
yell Furniture Co., placing a curb
.on an old well that was just revealed
a few days ago and which undoubted
I ly has been covered for a long period
'of years. For many years there has
been no sign of a well on the small
space of ground and during the long
years that the building was occupied
i by William Holly and succeeding
tenants there has been no indication
'that the well was in existence and
it was not until the first of the week
that the existence of the well was
revealed. Mrs. F. C. Coryell was the
first to discover the well and through
an accident, as she had gone to the
j garden that has been planted at the
rear of the building and while w'alk-
j ing through the garden she stepped
nto what she thought was a gopher

reported this to Mr. Coryell who later
was out and noticed the hole and
while examining it some dirt was
dislodged that fell into what was ap
parently water and some depth be
llow the surface of the ground. Mr.
Coryell and John Cloilt measured the
i depth of the well and revealed that
it was some twenty-four feet deep
and had eight feet of water in it.
The well is now being topped and
fixed so that it will cause no more
danger.
Apparently the well had been cov
ered with boards and dirt placed on
this and in the years that have pissed
the existence of the well was for
gotten until the decaying of the
boards and the pressure of trucks
over tne ground at different times
caused the boards to give way and
in the rains the dirt surface was
i softened sufficiently to allow the
save in on the top of the well.

From Saturday's iDally !
The residents of every section of
Cass county will regret very much
to learn that L. R. Snipes, who lias 1
been the head of the county farm '
bureau in Cass county since its or- ,
ganization, is to terminate his serv- ;
ices here and leave this field of activ- J
ity on September 1st. The resigna- j
tion of Mr. Snipes was submitted at
the meeting of the county farm bur
eau directors at Weeping Water this,
week and very regretfully accepted
by the friends of the board.
The services of Mr. Snipes has
made him an interesting , figure
among the county agents of the state
and through his personal efforts in ;
the building up of the bureau. Cass ;
county has attained a very high j
standing in all departments of the j
extension work and Cass county rep- i
it sentativesl ' has scored very high
at the various state events. That
the splendid record of Mr. Snipes
would lead hii:i to larger fields has
long been anticipated by those who
were familiar with the farm bureau
work but they have hoped that he
might be retained here for another
year but this has not been possible.
Mr. Snipes will go to Lincoln
where he will have an important
place in the department of the uni
versity extension work, having to do
with farm accounts and efficient
business methods on the farm, these
giving him a much better opportun
ity to extend his talents.
At the meeting of the directors,
two applicants for the position of
county agent were present and it
was arranged that D. D. Wainscot t
of Macon county, Missouri, would
fill the position on approval for a
limited time and is now busy with
Mr. Snipes in familiarizing himself
with the Cass county work and to
carry on the work when our efficient
agent goes to his new fields of ac
tivity. The Cass county people in general
will regret to see Mr. and Mrs. Snipes
